21 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Newark

“I'm a local. This place never fails. It's family operated and they really take pride in the food they make. Service is 10/10 always no matter how busy they are. They make you feel like you're important as a customer. Might be a little tough to eat inside with a very large crew since there isn't much room but I usually just get my gyro to go anyway. It's my favorite gyro in the Tri-City area.“

“The best falafel wrap I’ve ever eaten!! The seasoning was on point, the sauce was delicious and the wrap was cooked to perfection. My son loved the the burger too! My dad really enjoyed the Philly cheesesteak! Great service and good prices! We will be back.“

“This is a superb Mediterranean restaurant in Palo Alto. The food, service, and the ambience are all very nice. For appetizers, we ordered the eggplant which was incredibly flavorful, although a bit on the heavy side. For my main dish I ordered house combo plate, which came with a combination of chicken kebab, beef kebab, lamb and beef gyros, served with rice and a salad. Surprisingly, the chicken kebab were the best ones -- just amazing flavors, although I pretty much enjoyed everything. Very polite and courteous staff -- a definite place to return to.“

“Don't walk, RUN to Kabob Fusion. My partner and I were looking for a restaurant that opens late on a Friday night and we were so blessed to discover this gem. The staff is so warm and welcomes you like family. The menu is concise and offers photos which help with decision making. We ordered the combo plate and the gyro wrap and hnnnnnghhh it's so good...like so so good. The gyro is grilled to perfection, soft and flavorful and not overly salty. Everything is really made with passion, I know this staff cares about feeding their customers well. Highly recommend this joint in Fremont. Watch out competitors, this place is on its way up.“

“Had an early lunch with a colleague.Even though I left early, it was quite crowded.I ordered a chicken and beef kebab set at the counter, got a number, and waited at my seat. The sauce is self-serve. There's quite a lot. Grilled vegetables, chicken, and beef are also delicious. I am full. Thank you for the meal.“

“Great spot for local Greek food the gyros always hit the spot. I have been coming here for many years and it always a favorite. Lots of meat and toppings with very affordable prices! They always make it fresh and to order as you can see the kitchen right behind the counter.“

“I’ve been on a falafel dry spell, and by dry spell, I mean every single one I’ve tried in years has been hella dry. Not so at Falafel Flare! The falafel were soft and the herbs inside them combined with the chickpea meal to create a nice, balanced flavor. I dug the pickled radish in the wrap and wish they’d included more! My only complaint is that the flavors were a bit tame, so I’d definitely recommend asking for the hot sauce, too—and more radish!Interestingly, this place used to be called Falafel Flame. The front door had the “m” peeled away, which is now replaced by an “R”. I want the 411 on that situation! It made me laugh to see the obvious change to the name.“

“Dropped in on a whim, wasn’t sure what to order. The owner offered some free samples. The lamb is amazing! Some of the best I’ve ever had. He made me a lamb gyro that was 10/10. My son and I were very impressed with the service and food. We Will be dropping by again. Thank you!“

“One of our favorite local restaurants in Palo Alto. The food is fresh and perfectly seasoned. Favorite dish is the grilled white fish salad -- perfectly seasoned and grilled. Light and delicious. We love the frozen yogurt, not too sweet -- the best froyo around! And their fries are thin, perfectly salted and like a cleaner version of McDonald fries. Decor is Mediterranean modern and chic. Lots of outdoor seating and super friendly service. Love this place !“

“Delicious food, smart presentation, good wine list. They understand proper sear on salmon.Every dish has rich flavors and textures. Really well done, so there's a lot to talk about. Many people come here on dates and it's a great place for that.The squash dessert is amazing -- not savory but not too sweet and with a lot of complexity.To top it off, the staff is friendly and the service attentive without hovering. It's the best kind of "feeling at home" -- that's hospitality.Vegetarian options: If it doesn't say it has meat, it doesn't. The Turlu is amazing, and there's a very large and diverse veg app platter.“

“10's across the board! Everything was so delicious and there was not a long wait despite how busy it was. When you arrive they have a menu that you can choose from with tons of selections. There's even options for the vegetarians and pescatarians! Once you place your order you take your number and pick a seat. The decor and vibe is honestly the reason I came here. We loved the ambient lighting with the cute umbrellas and there's even a cute wall off to the side to snap acute selfie! The food did not disappoint. The meat was very well seasoned and the sauce that came with our meal added another touch of flavor to our rice and salad. Our pita wraps did come out a little later than our food but honestly we were so busy with our food that we didn't notice. The serving is more than enough as I was struggling to finish my plate and this is without eating the feta fries my husband ordered. Actually I'm lying I tried 1 or 2 and had to restrain myself because I knew i would get way too full before my meal arrived. They have a water station in the back so don't be like us and wait around thinking someone is gonna bring water lol. You can also pick up some sweet treats while you are there or on your way out to enjoy later at home.“

“Excellent fresh Mediterranean fare! Loved watching the videos of the food being prepared, all from scratch. We had a falafel wrap and a chicken shawarma wrap. A little pricey at about $20 each, but really more food than we needed. Next time we’ll share and add some salad.“

Food always so fresh & unbeatableServices also outstandingKid-friendliness: Kids get free meals if dinner in during weekendWheelchair accessibility: Place is wide, easy to move around.Most important thing is really clean, food quality is super good“

“Tayyibaat may not be the fanciest spot in town, but its combination of great food and friendly staff keeps me coming back time and time again. I've frequented this gem countless times, and they've never failed to impress. The burger, in particular, is an absolute must-try—it's simply the best.“

“Loved the food, service. Ambience at the Castro Street location in downtown Mtn View was fabulous. Great for vegetarians. Lots of choices and everythinga yum. What's not to like?Dishes recommended : hummus plate, sampler of ghanoushes, schnitzels“

“We catered a meal for 100 people for a big event this past weekend, and I worked with Ashvee to make this happen. First of all, she was wonderful and super helpful. The food was ready on time, huge portions and the meal was amazing. The chicken shawarma was excellent!! We had so many people compliment the food. The falafel was delicious and the sauces (Tzatziki, Lemony Tahini Sauce and Spicy Sauce) were so good. I don't even live in PA but I am definitely making the drive down to get more of it. Thank you Ashvee and RMK - great job! Can't wait to come back.“

“We absolutely love this place, it has by far the best hummus around.We ordered the classic hummus and tzatziki. They were both incredible.We opted to try their spanakopita, which in my opinion wasn't as good as others I've had. They come 2 to an order so that was a pleasant surprise. I would stick to the dips next time.“

“No trip to SF is complete without a visit to Oren's! This was my first time at the Palo Alto location. It definitely has a different vibe than the one in the Financial District -- less formal, more rustic.The sampler platter was good but didn't have a lot of my favorites. I prefer the one we had in FiDi, which had more eggplant. We also got the cucumber salad which was good and fresh.I got a healthy serving of Oren's eggplant, which continues to reign supreme in my heart. It's not a cute dish, but it's soooo good! The chicken skewer was also so tender and yummy.Oren's eggplant and chicken skewers have my heart. I'll be back!“
