36 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Temple Terrace

“The order arrived earlier than originally stated. The food was fresh and a lot for one sandwich. It was well worth the price. It's the best gyro sandwich I've had in 10 years or better. I will be ordering on a regular basis with all of the choices they offer.“

“Green Land Restaurant is excellent in preparing barbecue. Orders include mixed grill, meat kebab, chicken shish, meat awsal... What I liked most was the meat awsal, it was very tender. We ordered hummus shawarma with meat. The best hummus you will get, the sessions are many and wide, but I did not like the smell of the place mixed with detergents and smoke.“

“A group of 10 of us ate here to celebrate two college graduates.The food was delicious, the service was great and the entertainment was hilarious.We ate on the 2nd floor and they accommodated our large party easily.Our server Deja was wonderful, she was very friendly and nice and definitely attentive. Halfway through our night we had 3 more people join our table and she was able to adjust accordingly without any hesitation. Deja if you are reading this, you rock!I ordered the saganaki, which our server delivered and ignited herself! I also ordered the Greek souvlaki platter. Both of which were delicious. The portions were decent but they pricing was a little high compared to what I’m used to from comparable Greek restaurants. This could be easily explained by the location given as how it’s located directly on the main strip in Ybor.I want to leave a 5 star review but the restaurant was in shambles while we were there. What I mean by this is the cleanliness. I am well aware that breaking plates and throwing napkins on the floor is typical at a Greek establishment but the restaurant was not the cleanest and there was a strange smell brooding on the 2nd floor. To be fair it was a Saturday night and there were at least 4 large parties.I will definitely be eating here again and probably updating my review accordingly!Dietary restrictions: Most of our party could not eat pork and they have plenty of beef and chicken options.Parking: It’s ybor, you pay to park down the street and walk to the restaurant. Or get lucky and pay for street parking.“

“I have eaten here on several occasions and the last time, while I was waiting for my date to arrive, the proprietor approached me and asked me if I would like to reserve a table. After my date arrived we were promptly seated and, although we lingered over our dinner, the host was very gracious and polite. I would recommend this place not only for the food but also for the hospitality.“

“Great atmosphere wonder food“

“Very good food very tasty“

“Service was excellent. Owner served us he was very friendly. The food was excellent. I had the Mezza appetizer which had Greek salad, dolmades, falafel, hummus, babaganoush and taziki sauce. My husband had some potato salad on his plate and I tried some it was so good. I was given spanikopita to sample. It was so flaky. I used the bathroom and it was clean and smelled nice.“

“Hands down, one of the best Lebanese restaurants I've been to in a very long time. Truly authentic traditional recipes with fresh ingredients. Everything is delicious but not overloaded with garlic (like most middle Eastern foood esrablishments). The service is phenomenal and the place has a great vibe. We hope they maintain the quality and the taste of the food, the fantastic service and the quaintness of the place because this is now one of our faves!“

“I went to Falafel Market tonight and the food was excellent. I ordered the veggie combo. The falafel was delicious as was the salad and the hummus and baba ganouj were all fresh and tasty. And the service was great!“

“The food has been consistent through out the years!“

“Wonderful food, service and atmosphere. We will come here often.“

“La Pita exceeded all expectations with their incredible chicken shawarma sandwich. From the moment I walked in, the staff greeted me warmly and were incredibly accommodating. But the real star of the show was the shawarma itself – easily the best I've ever had in Tampa. Every bite was bursting with flavor, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection.“

“We tried the lamb and chicken kabob meals....so much food. And everything was so good. The lady working the counter (didn't get her name-sorry) was very friendly and helpful. We ended up ordering too much food and took a lot home + sweet treats for later. Overall great food and service. Would definitely return!“

“Think of it as a Mediterranean/ Greek influenced Chipotle. I would say the quality (and taste) is a notch above but the price is comparable. We have been to this location numerous times now and it's always Beena consistently good. My favorite is the harissa sweet and spicy chicken! I would also like to mention the team that works here is great and always a pleasure to deal with.“

“Tonight I ordered dinner from Four Brothers Eatery. AMAZING FOOD.The mix of spices they use is so sweet and tangy and flavorful. My family each ordered something different and none of us were disappointed. The portions, flavor, temperature were over the top. Leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Yummy!!! Definitely will be ordering from them again“

“Went out for an anniversary dinner, the wait staff were amazing as well as the food. Wish I could afford to eat here once a week.Parking: There was an event that night at the arena so parking was limited, Lilac was kind enough to send out emails regarding this so we would be prepared for it which I thought was very nice. We parked in a garage a short walk away.Kid-friendliness: Not for kids, adults only.“

“Went to the Acropolis Greek Taverna for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. This restaurant is located in a nice little strip mall anchored by a Publix store. While I expected the food to be good, I was really surprised at how good it was and how great the young staff interacted with the customer! I can't wait to visit again, I have a feeling the atmosphere during dinner will be even better. If you stop by and check it out I'm confident that you won't be disappointed.Parking: Ample parking is available“

“From entering to exiting, the staff was very friendly. Well seasoned and flavorful Mediterranean and seafood dishes. Busch Gardens tries to hide this place with their half-mile wall, but we made the trek anyway! In a sea of burgers and nuggets at the theme park, we wanted something better and this place hit the spot. Happy campers!“

“It was such an amazing experience that we decided to visit again during our trip to Tampa. Food was amazing, service was AAA and last but not the least host were amazing. They welcomed us on the iftar buffet ( which was one of the best I have ever enjoyed) and treated us as their family and friends rather than the customers.HIGHLY RECOMMEND to any one looking for amazing Mediterranean food in Tampa.“

“Great dinner and excellent service! I don’t get up that way often but I’ll make it a point to stop in, serving breakfast lunch and dinner!“

“Our dining experience was delightful! I had the Beets & Arugula salad with blackened salmon. It was fresh, and the salmon was cooked perfectly. My husband had a big bowl of very creamy and delicious chicken rigatoni. The service was absolutely wonderful and the manager even sent us over a free dessert. It was so good that we forgot to take pictures.“

“Tampa Palms and the immediate surrounding area has some of the best cultural food options in all of the greater Tampa Bay area, and I may have found the best Turkish Street food in all of the land at 1453. I have had many good experiences in life especially when it comes to food and this food truck put me in the passenger seat as they drove me around flavor town. I wish I could have tried one of everything, but the main feature of this plate was the donor kebab. Tender and delicate gyro style lamb adorned with grilled veggies and rice. I wish I had words to describe the flavors but spices came on this plate that I could not capture other than acknowledging them as incredible. Had to throw a salad in as well which of course was included to once again be a testament to the value you will find on this menu. No question that I will be back and hopefully soon!“

“I learned about this little spot when I was delivering a doordash order from them. I decided to give the place a shot and ordered the chicken alfredo and it came with the garlic butter bread knots. A great pairing and a great meal. Will be returning.“

“Everything was so fresh and clean. Would highly recommend!“

“AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! I could not recommend a better Lebanese place in the area. Highly recommend!“

“In Tampa for work staying Downtown, walked in and my chicken pita was AMAZING. Abdul was really nice and welcoming. I didn't eat it until I got back to my hotel room, was so tempted to walk back and get another. Food was fresh and chicken was not dry and well seasoned. My go to whenever I'm in Tampa from now on.“

“Great food and service!! Recommend“

“Excellant healthy food with lots of choices .Budget prices and friendly staff“

“Service was amazing. Food was also terrific, very impressed. Steak was over cooked, but they were very gracious and corrected. Menu is really interesting, not sane as other places and offers a nice choice option with some really lovely twists that make the dishes special. Highly recommend“
