21 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near San Pablo

“1st time. Not familiar with this cuisine but it was so good. Had the beef plate with humus, salad, a bread, and rice. Everything fresh and well seasoned. Ate the humus with the bread and this humus was so good compared to store brought. Going back “

“Yes!! Tarocco is the restaurant that we all needed but didn’t know! So fresh and healthy and delicious. Upscale enough for a nice work lunch but you can also show up as you are. Bravo!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free and dairy-free friendly.“

“So glad I came here. Plenty of parking at Safeway. Walked directly across the street into the alley to find this hole in the wall gem. Was immediately given a lentil soup and water as soon as I sat down. Ordered a steak burrito which was massive. All delicious food. Low key vibes. Not busy at all. Cash only. ATM available in the restaurant. Nice people working there.Parking: Park at Safeway and walk across the street.“

“Service was good and kind. I had lamb meatballs, mussels, carbonara. Lamb meatballs were best lol mussels were just regular tasty but fries came with mussels were better than main menu. We asked more baguette for left over mussels sauce. ServerRefilled a lot of baguette. Carbonara tastes like instant ramen:0 Don't order that.I would recommend lamb meatballs and fries.“

“GREAT FLAVOR, GREAT FOOD, GREAT PRICES.Been hunting around the East Bay for a couple of weeks now looking for that good Kefta And Doner experience, and I was really disappointed with a couple of the restaurants because their meat just didn't have any flavor. Really bland.Not here! Ordered the Kofte kebab plate, and it was absolutely delicious. Tender perfectly seasoned on fresh pita bread, a scoop of rice, both yogurt and hot sauce, and a dollop of Baba Ganoush.This is one of the best combination Middle Eastern plates I've had in the East bay, ever. I highly recommend this place. Clean interior, friendly staff, clean bathroom, and it easy to find location.“

“We ate here for dinner and the food was very good. The restaurant is small and cozy, and the seating was comfortable. We had the falafel plate and the Alexander's favorite house special. Both plates were filling and we left happy. They have complementary tea and water.“

“Absolutely delicious food, fast and friendly service, and a nice covered outdoor area in the back to dine in!The staff and owner Khaled are lovely and it's always a pleasure to interact with them. You'll always feel welcome visiting and satisfied leaving!“

“The halloumi salad was wonderful. The spanakopita was unusual and delicious, even without the usual feta cheese. My partner's lamb dish was delicious. The chicken in phyllo was unusual, but too much for one person. The wine was very good. The service was very slow, but it was busy.“

“My kids and I have been enjoying coming here for a quick bite for several months now. Kids like the gyro wraps and fries, as well as chicken, though I have found it dry. Falafel good but not outstanding. Friendly staff, lots of multigenerational families eating together. Love the water dispenser with cucumber slices in it! I especially appreciate that staff are happy to fill our reusable takeout containers (metal tiffins) with food to go. Not all restaurants in our area are willing to break their habit of serving in styrofoam (sometimes even for eating in!). The food is not always perfect and there isn’t much ambiance but I sure am happy to have a locally run alternative to Chipotle!“

“healthy, nutritious, pocket friendly food. we tried the falafel wrap and the chicken shawarma wrap. they were delicious! they are still in the hospital early stages of opening so didn't have burgers and other items available yet. we can't wait to try more PS: their curly fries are addictive! so so good. def get the fries basket“

“Great authentic hole in the wall. Unique. Super food!!! Soulful staff. Quirky. Lots of character. Interesting. Dynamic location. Sit outside, or inside at the windows, or take an almost hidden narrow (I mean NARROW!!!) stairway to a very unique upper level and sit at the windows which you can open for fresh breezes. Definitely our this on your list!! Vegan + Organic? Yes.“

“The Banks Club in Emeryville is the spot! Soul, funk tunes fill the air all day, and the DJ sets on weekends are just dope. Karaoke nights? Always a blast. They pour generously too. I've had countless great times here. It's like the Cheers of Emeryville - you're gonna love it. 100% recommend!“

“Excellent food. The lamb shashlik was delicious. Also the large, varied platter of appetizers. We were there on a Sunday at noon and there were not many others at that time, so there was hardly any noise which was good for me. I will definitely return to try other dishes, or maybe have the lamb again . . . . Highly recommend.“

“This is my go to lunch spot near campus. Good food made by friendly people at a reasonable price that doesn't make you feel bloated. The veggies are always fresh and crunchy. There's limited seating but they have a few tables. Everything is kept clean which is reassuring.“

“We had a fabulous night here last night! This place is a bit removed from the overpriced part of Sausalito with million dollar views that caters to tourists. I have no issue with those places - the food is quite good, but this place gave us an elevated experience. The manager (wish I had asked his name) was charming. He was our server. We had a delicious watermelon salad, a prosciutto pinsa, a whole branzino, and a nice bottle of wine. We ended our night with a dessert I could eat every day: the dark chocolate gelato with shredded halvah (and other stuff that I can't remember). Utter perfection. The vibe is cozy and nice inside. We will definitely be back! Thanks for the muscat!“

“I came from NYC needing a perfect place to have a coffee and stare at the streets. Kind owner and they had epic amounts of the New Yorker. It made my heart smile :) Thank you for making me feel at home with a wonderful espresso and time with my husband.“

“We only had three items but they were very good. The Gyros Wrap and the Gyros Platter. Both extremely yummy. Great texture in the wrap. Loved it. The harmon fries were spectacular! Really garlicky. And the texture was perfect. Awesome crispness. A little on the pricey side overall but a nice treat.“

“Jayna offers an array of Mediterranean eats, similar to what you'd find at Nick the Greek. However, the food is 10x better! Not too salty, the Beef and Lamb gyro was extremely savory with flavor, it did not feel like the food was from the freezer. Got the combo and was MORE than enough food for a late lunch early dinner. May not need to eat later and if i do, I'll have leftovers. Definitely check them out if you want a more flavorful, fast-ish Mediterrean food experience.Huge shout out to Ali for his great service and welcoming smile!“

“I enjoyed the falafel wrap sandwich. The bread was soft and fresh. The vegetables were fresh and crisp. The falafel was kind of different. Like chickpea French fries. The service was friendly and helpful. The ambiance needs some work. Otherwise, it's a nice new place in my neighborhood!“

“It's by Gypsy's and Kingpin Donuts, as Google Maps kinda hides this gem.Hella good Mediterranean late spot in the Berkeley 'ghetto'! Made quick, but it ain't fast food, with the meat cooked proper, the right proportion of veggies, hummus, falafel, and sauce. The right amount of spice, both herbal and hot, the amount to where I taste everything without being hot bombed.How I did this order was getting a veggie wrap, added lamb and white sauce, so that's cucumber, lettuce, tomato, onion, herbs, falafel, hummus, tahini, peppers, feta in a wrap It's the right move too. Made with that authentic Middle East love and care. This and Gypsy's are my favorite spots in Durant Ave ghetto, which is the best spot for late food in the Bay.“

“The menu is very simple, salads, pizza, burgers and fries, and everything is perfect. Especially the shoestring fries. All of the salads are great. Their drip coffee is excellent, as was the lemonade. Service was fast and accommodating. I loved everything about Zut!“
