45 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Eastchester

“Go here immediately. Everything we had was delicious! Classic Mediterranean with a modern twist. Service is delightful and shop is sweet. Byrek (tried both spinach and cheese) are best I’ve ever had. Greek(ish) salad is so good with the figs. Carrot soup also amazing. Very happy to discover this place (its a little hard to find even though it’s next to Trader Joe’s)Kid-friendliness: Came with our baby and breast fed her here (owner said no problem when we asked)“

“I attended a surprise party this Saturday evening. The cuisine was preselected, waiter service was excellent, should receive raises. The table arrangement was very poor. The party was downstairs in one of the private rooms. We were 25 people at one very long table, basically the length of the room, which made it difficult for guests to get around the seated persons at the head of the table on either side. Having two tables would have been a better arrangement, but one long table was not conducive for conversation since we were so far from the other end of the table. The food; not many complaints, I really didn’t have a problem. I didn’t have a lot of food, but it was delicious. The dessert, sorry not very good. Those Famous Crepes(palacinkes) sorry not that great. A lot of crepe and not a lot of filling. The dish was served with fruit, unfortunately this fruit was not in season, so the watermelon although it added color to the dish, upon tasting it, left much to be desired. Why not serve fruit that is in season? No offense to my party hosts who selected my menu for the evening, it didn’t lend itself to the 5 Star Reputation of Dubrovnik’s. I would like to make reservations and splurge on a dinner on my own, I have a feeling I would LOVE the experience! Btw, another plus was the parking!“

“Shiraz is still the yet to be discovered and immensely enjoyed in White Plains and the NY suburb Tri-States. . Whether it is for weekday lunch or dinner, a couple sublimed drinks or the Sushi bar, or the more elaborate weekend family eats or gatherings and live “Jazzy JAZX” music , or be it at times a most exquisite private party and surreal ambiance, Shiraz has already become a fine cuisine destination which the patrons take pride In experiencing and regularly returning to great times….great food drink quality ingredients, excellent service, receptive to patrons’ suggestions, and with convenient location in the heart of vibrant white plains, there is no need to travel long to enjoy a most sublimed culinary experience.“

“Food is delicious and great size portions. The service is excellent. Erdom and Aziz were so kind and helpful. The atmosphere is quiet and lovely. Very clean and bright. Went a week ago and returned a few days later because my 1st experience was so great. Marion“

“First time visiting office in this building because of work - by the time I made it downstairs for lunch the cafeteria was already closed so I ended placing an order for take out at this restaurant.First of all, it looks very nice, perfect maybe to go with a group of friends, relatives or co workersEven if the place was empty when I entered, with only one couple at a table (it was after 3:00pm) they kitchen was still open.I ordered a chicken gyro, just because I really wanted to have a sandwich that day ? It came with two sauces and fries - I liked everything except the chicken (maybe the flavor Im not sure what exactly I disliked, just not my type of chicken)Other than that, they fries were really good, the veggies very fresh, the sauces really good too ??I will definitely visit again to try some other dishes and to take pictures of the place :)“

“Having traveled all the way from Canada, our visit to this restaurant was truly extraordinary. The service stood out immediately, with our waitress providing insightful menu explanations and excellent recommendations for our group of four, which turned out to be spot on.The food itself was outstanding. From appetizers to main courses, each dish was bursting with flavor and spices that made every bite a delight. Eating with our hands added an extra layer of enjoyment, engaging all our senses in the experience. Even those in our group who weren't vegan were thoroughly impressed.The restaurant's cozy and welcoming atmosphere added to the overall charm. The local artwork on the walls and the vibrant colors created a warm and inviting ambiance.We'll definitely be returning to this hidden gem. The combination of excellent service, delicious food, and inviting atmosphere makes it a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience. Highly recommended!“

“Amazing staff and amazing food! I often place large lunch orders for my team and they always take care of us. Not only is their food incredible (that falafel souvlaki HITS every time), the chef and management team are so kind to us-- we are so lucky to have developed a relationship with these wonderful people.“

“We tried the Zinger & Hella Juicy burgers, Fries with Garlic sauce and Spicy Fries. We were amazed with the quantity and quality of food.Topped it up with Fried Orio ice cream, again absolutely on spot.It is a small takeout place with a 10 seating spots. After tasting the food I wasn’t surprised to find that the owner is a five star banquet chef with very high aspirations.“

“Great meal before a show at Tarrytown Music Hall! Excellent service! Fresh and delicious food. We ordered shawarma sandwich, amazing and hummus with falafel! It was the best falafel I have ever had. Light, crispy outside, fresh served on creamy hummus with a piece of fresh, hot & soft pita bread. We even ordered more falafel!The prices are great as well. We will definitely be back!“

“Had lunch here on a Wednesday with my aunts. Seafood dishes were delicious. The hot chocolate was ok, a little too sweet for us, but not as rich as we expected. The staff was nice and attentive without being over-bearing. Fine atmosphere for conversation. Would highly recommend for well-prepared foods, excellent service, and relaxing atmosphere.“

“The restaurant was hopping on a Saturday night. It was obvious why-our food was great and our server was very pleasant and fun. The only drawback was the noise level which  was quite loud and difficult to hear the people at our table. Perhaps this was because the restaurant was so full of happy energetic diners. Some kind of acoustic mechanism to absorb the noise would be a great addition!“

“I'm happy! Ordered through door dashAs soon as I opened my order I knew I was gonna be satisfied. Ordered lamb over rice platter, popcorn chicken and oreo cheese cake. DELISH!? ???**had to came back and edit thisToday is the 1nd time ordering from here on doordash. The 1st time (yesterday) was bussing today Sunday (3/24/24 7:40pm) disgusting!! Ordered the same lamb over rice platter. I called ahead as before to ask for sauce on side instead of on meal. Recieved NO SAUCE!! FOOD WAS ALSO COLD AND DIDNT TASTE AS FRESH. IM DISAPPOINTED ?“

“I stopped here today for lunch right when they opened at 1130a. I appreciate how punctual they were with opening !! Right upon entering, the staff was very friendly. Very welcoming. Service was smooth, i received my food in a timely manner. Staff was very helpful with suggestions. I had the grilled octopus for my starter and the seafood linguine for my main. I have been craving octopus and they didn’t disappoint!!! The food was superb. The atmosphere is divine. I will definitely be returning and I for sure recommend this venue.“

“We could not be happier with how our evening turned out at Olar Noso.A pretty place located right off of Tappan road, there’s ample parking and not a long wait time around 20:00 to be comfortably seated. The restaurant is spacious, lively but not noisy, and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. Liv, our server, was on point with giving explanations and suggestions on the entrees. We absolutely loved the Salad: I think it consisted of: shredded ricotta salata, pear, pomegranate, arugula, walnuts, and farro (wheat berries), yum, a perfect symphony of flavors which has become one of my favorite dishes. The three of us ordered to share, we commenced with the Gnocchetti "Little pillows" of goat cheese and ricotta with hand-crushed organic tomato, caramelized eggplant, basil, ricotta salata, we found it to be a perfect combination of flavors with every bite. Next were the pizzas; Soppressata pizza topped withtomato, mozzarella, Soppressata, chili oil and honey (the added honey complimented the chili oil). Next, I was outvoted to try the pistachio pizza.. I’ve never had this in my life and asked Liv (as a fellow foodie) for guidance… with mixed reviews, it was decidedly my least favorite, however, it would be interesting to try it with pistachio nuts in a 60/40 blend (in a Vitamix) with ricotta as a spreadable topping (similar to the way a Nutella pizza is prepared).The food was amazing, you can tell their heart is in courtship with creativity by their constant pursuit to invent new and well balanced entrees (with lots to choose from).It’s great to see the way the restaurant blends locally sourced and seasonal ingredients into new creations bringing the farm to table experience for their patrons to enjoy. I would absolutely recommend this place and look forward to visiting again.“

“We are huge fans of Italian restaurants along Arthur Avenue and we will surely return to San Gennaro Trattoria over and over again. The food was top notch, fresh, delicious. Friendly and professional service, charming ambiance. Pasta cooked perfectly and whole branzino probably the best we've ever tasted. We look forward to returning and enjoying many more meals at San Gennaro and will recommend this restaurant to friends and family.“

“I had been to del arte before and always had a wonderful experience. When my mother passed away in december we reached out to have her repast there. They were WONDERFUL to work with. Everything went seamless and was perfect. The staff is wonderful! The owners are the kindest people ever & especially during such a difficult time were caring, understanding and just really great to work with. We were so happy we booked my sisters baby shower and again had the same experience. I can not recommend them enough.“

“Vegetarian options: Not a vegetarian myself I love my meats. Went here 3 or 4 times before even realizing it was vegetarian which to me was all the convincing I needed that they have some amazing foods. Nothing felt like it was lacking at all.“

“A great homy place with good eats. The souvlaki was nicely charred, bronzini was so fresh, the dessert were a hit and you must try the cheese flambé. Super friendly family run place that makes you feel like you are part of the family. The decor could use an update but there is a certain charm to it.“

“Always a great meal! The lentil soup and frozen basil lemonade are a must.For those with celiac , lots of gluten free options too!Dietary restrictions: The chef and staff were very knowledgeable about gluten free options and cross contamination.“

“I can’t say enough good things about Modern on the Rails for my daughter’s bridal shower brunch. I had great feedback on the venue and the delicious food. The staff was attentive and so helpful, my guest’s drinks as well as the buffet selections were constantly filled. The atmosphere is unique and so pretty with exposed brick and beautiful chandeliers. I. borrowed their cart to do a bouquet bar that turned out to be a hit with everyone. The shower was everything the bride to be had hoped for. Thank you to Lori, John, Julianna and Kevin for making this an stress-free, perfect day for us.“

“We were meeting some friends and stumbled upon Sergio's through a Google search. We're so glad we did.They have a terrific 3 course price fixe menu for $30 and we loved it. In addition, the wines were very reasonably priced.We were so caught up in the moment I forgot to take pictures. ??“

“Walked into this place spontaneously while exploring the neighborhood and I'm so glad I did! The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and did a great job of explaining all of the menu items thoroughly. I ended up getting the Gurra Burger and it was so rich and flavor. Totally recommend!“

“What a pleasant surprise to find this place in Port Washington. The restaurant is very classy. Great ambiance. Staff is super professional and courteous, and the food did not disappoint. Ordered the lobster a la carte, and the 3 course prix fix dinner which is a great deal for $39. The lobster was perfect. I ordered the branzino, mildly seasoned but extremely tasty with rice and spinach. I also had a glass of Pinot. very smooth. This location seems to have a second floor balcony for private parties. We will most likely be coming back. It's is so worth it for a day trip.“

“Came back a week later to bring my husband he was super impressed. He's a hard one to please as he is really picky about his chicken parm, but he did LOVE it! I already was blown away by the food, and we haven't even had dessert yet. Ready to come back for more!“

“Had an amazing lunch at the Tarrytown location yesterday. I had not had really good Greek food in ages. The menu is authentic. Atmosphere was excellent. I had the chicken souvlaki and the eggplant dip as an appetizer. Food was amazing. The place was bustling. Service was excellent.“

“I really enjoyed my [Salad & Chicken wrap] at Cava - it was amazing! The food definitely has potential. However, the atmosphere felt a bit too fast-foody for me. While I appreciate the quick service, I think a slightly more relaxed ambiance, similar to Chipotle or Habit Burger (my other favorite chains), would make the dining experience even better.“

“Great food. The Plain Tart yogurt is second to none. You can't find that kind of quality tart yogurt anywhere else. I literally came from work in the Bronx straight to Mamaroneck to pick up a Quart of the Plain Tart. They make it in-house, and its consistently a top quality product. I would highly recommend Esy Kafe.“

“Chef Anthony Gonҫalves has done it again! Every single time I dine at Kanopi I am delightfully surprised by his creative, original and delectable dishes that pay tribute to Portugal. Add to that a wait staff second to none in terms of knowledge, generosity and personality, and breathtaking, sweeping views from over 40 floors high in the sky, and you can clearly see why this is my favorite tasting menu in all of Westchester. I’ve had a more pleasurable dining experience at Kanopi than at some of the many Michelin rated restaurants I’ve visited in the New York City.The last time I visited was in the summer so I was excited to sample the entirely new menu. I will admit that with my carb restricted diet, I am a sucker for good bread service that is worth the carb macros. We started with two types of broa, a kind of Portuguese corn bread that had fantastic density and flavor that really handled the bold flavor of the solar almeidnha olive oil. The purple broa was made with purple potatoes. It was beautiful in color and lighter in flavor. Both were grilled and the perfect warm greeting to start a fabulous meal.The pan seared scallop with citrus-quince marmalade and mondega piri piri oil was the perfect texture, soft and succulent, with a nice crisp on the outside from the caramelized marmalade. The piri piri oil is such a fantastic addition to the dish, being a touch spicy, a little salty, but also both sweet and sour. It really brings a nice complexity to a dish that could’ve easily been relegated to the single note of sweetness from the marmalade.The sea bass, marinated in an aguardente, soy, ginger and garlic marinade, was my date’s favorite dish. The fish was firm but flaked easily and really served the marinade well. The game changer, however, was the pureed fava beans with chourico! The chourico brought the spice to really liven up the dish, but was tempered by the earthiness of the fava bean puree, which added a very nice creamy, mouth feel juxtaposed against the texture of the fish.My favorite of the night (by the way, very hard to decide on a favorite), was the grilled octopus. It was cooked to the perfect consistency. The gorgeous burnt-orange colored romesco sauce brought a rich, peppery smokiness. The unexpected pairing with dried, crispy pata negra was genius. The salt and light fat, similar to an impeccably crisped high-end bacon, gave the dish even more interest and intricacy.The whole wheat creste di gallo pork and wild mushroom ragout was another surprise. Cooked in pork fat, without any pork in the dish, the pasta was surprisingly light for a ragout. The robust aroma and dense mushrooms gave the illusion of a hearty, heavy food but it wasn’t at all! Which is good, because there was still a beef dish and three more desserts to go!I’ll skip to my two favorite desserts. One of the most unique combinations I’ve had for dessert was the queijo, a mini seia cheese cake floating in bath of pretty pink pineapple foam with chunks of pink pineapple and pecans hidden in the foam. It could have easily been too sweet, but the pineapple had a touch of tartness, and the richness of the cheese plus the nutty flavor of the pecans cut the sweetness, and made a really lovely multifaceted dessert. My favorite treat however, has to be the bolo de bolacha. This is the stuff dreams are made of. Fantastically rich and sweet, the caramel colored almond cream was fashioned into the shape of golden oreo cookie (it was even imprinted and ridged with a design similar to an oreo cookie). I had to stop myself from licking the plate to get every last molecule of deliciousness! It was paired with delta cafes coffee ice cream and cookies.Clearly, I could go on and on about this phenomenal dining experience, but seeing how lengthy this is already I’ll stop here and suffice it to say this spot has one of my highest recommendations. I’ll be counting down the days until my next visit.“

“Good place located across the street from Iona. I tried it for a late lunch. Food was excellent and service was very good. Nice atmosphere with an "upscale diner" type feel - classy but not overdone. Prices were fair and food was much better than diner style. Parking in back of restaurant was a plus. I definitely will be going back !“

“This is the sister restaurant to Cafe Alaia, just up the street. Vincenzo Alaia keep a close watch on both venues and sees to it that they adhere to the same high standards. The food here is superb (there's a new chef from Italy who is even better than his predecessor) and though the wait staff (in the absence of the wonderful Cesar) is a bit green and easily overwhelmed, it's still a very satisfying place to spend an evening. Great food, a little overpriced, in a warm and inviting atmosphere.“

“Great food! Unfortunately my favorite lamb chop is often burned to the point it’s charcoal and they are cheap on the sauce. If I forget to ask for extra sauce and go home with a takeout, it’s a pretty bad experience since the food is dry. Can definitely become way better restaurant with minor changes.“

“My wife and I ate at this restaurant a couple of days ago with friends. The restaurant is self serve and you pay at the counter. My wife had a slice of pizza with tomatoes and onions, I had the eggplant parmesan and fried breaded cauliflower and we shared a leafy put together yourself salad and vegetarian sushi. The food was excellent, very tasty and filling. The atmosphere was what you'd expect from a self serve midtown/downtown business lunch place--not a place to take a romantic first date that you want to impress--but we'd highly recommend this restaurant if you want some quick great food at a reasonable price.“

“New adress: 16 memorial hwy, New Rochelle 10801 New York It continues to serve in its new place after covit 19. a larger and more spacious space. There is also a bar and outdoor seating. The same tastes and friendly services are waiting for its new customers at its new address.“

“Nanas Kitchen is an absolute gem! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy ambiance. The menu is a tantalizing journey through the flavors of traditional Albanian cuisine. Each dish is meticulously prepared with authentic ingredients, resulting in mouthwatering flavors that transport you straight to Albania. The portion sizes are generous, and the presentation is visually appealing. The service is impeccable, with attentive staff who are knowledgeable about the menu. Nanas Kitchen is a true culinary delight that deserves five stars for its exceptional food, welcoming atmosphere, and outstanding service. Highly recommended!“

“Walking in the area I decided to pop in to see what they're about. I greeted the staff myself and the girls responded...they seemed engrossed in their own conversations. No matter, I took a few pics of the nicely designed interior with cute chotskies and comfortable looking seating. Asked a few questions and left. Fast forward a few weeks later. The greeting was initiated by the staff and more friendly. I decided to order a meal to go of Arroz con gandules, Pollo Asado and Maduros. Quite tasty, nice portions and comparable in local pricing. I'd be back to try their Oxtails which I found out is served on odd days of the week that I don't remember. Welcome to the neighborhood Bayahibe Fusion.“

“Loved this spot for Lunch !!! We popped in yesterday and the food was very good. We were met with a very friendly waitress who sat us done right away. It's a casual small spot in New Rochelle accommodating a few tables and take out service. We enjoyed the small bites and grilled octopus which were very tasty. For a main they split a chicken souvlaki for us between my husband and I. Portion size was just right. Food was great !!! We usually order from them to go but had an even better experience dining in. A must stop to eat !“

“This is the third time we take our food at Fez. Before this we tried meze sampler, baba gannoush and chicken wrap. The food here is very tasty and the portions are quite big. A few days ago we also went to the store itself, there are a lot of interesting products and a great selection of oriental sweets. I am definitely happy with this find and we will go back there more than once. I also absolutely recommend a visit.“

“Really is 5 Stars. I have been here several times and every time you leave with a smile and talking about the food. The Pappardelle Bolognese, Vitello Martini, Pollo Scarpariello, and of course baked clams. By the way, the broccoli will be the best you ever had. (I know that's a weird call out but you'll understand when you try it) Drinks are great, especially the espresso martini (order it without Bailey's). Service and ambience are what you would expect at a fine dining Italian restaurant...really well done. Not stuffy...just really nice.“

“I was surprised to find this gem in the heart of Arthur Ave = Bronx Little Italy (BLI). The best authentic gyros across the board! Apps were fresh and delicious, service was steller! Stop in and hang out at this warm and friendly Greek restaurant. You'll be pleasantly surprised.“

“We are here with friends on Saturday after seeing the train show at the botanical gardens. The service was so friendly and lovely (and they didn't mind our 5 yr olds rolling around on the floor ). The food was yummy, with certain dishes made to order (like the burek- which was delicious)! So you know it's fresh! I had the veal parmigiana and it was some of the best I've ever had, and it wasn't even from an Italian restaurant. Might definitely be our new go-to in the area as it wasn't crowded and you could tell it was mostly locals eating there.“

“Although we rarely eat at Turquoise, it is our go-to place for healthy delicious dishes to take out. Chef Mustafa is a master at his preparation of chicken and lamb. Turqoiuse Chicken and a side of Esme are favorite dishes. The TC is consistently tender and flavorful. An annual rite of spring for me is having an alfresco lunch w a crisp glass of white wine with my book of the moment. I look forward to those warm days!“

“Love this place. The atmosphere is great, food is amazing, and staff is super helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this place for authentic Yemeni and Mediterranean dishes.Kid-friendliness: There is definitely meals to satisfy those kids picky choices.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp to use.“

“I've been here a few times for the falafal sandwich with pickles. I love that this place is open. I just wish they wouldn't run out of their pies so early! Really affordable prices for fresh delicious food. The convenience of parking on the premises. A ridiculously large variety of beverages. Clean tables & chairs to sit. Free mint tea as you wait, and they have kulfi! No more needs to be said! Happy Yelping!“

“Always delicious, I've dined in, ordered through uber eats also called in to pick up and it's always freshly prepared and delicious. I remember being referred to the wine store long ago across the street to grab a bottle to pair with the meal while dining in, I followed that same reference but was surprised that they now serve Sangria, I was given a sample of both the red and the white, both were delicious! This is my go to for Greek no one else is better in Westchester, I've tried them all and I promise you'll love it here.“

“Mediterraneo is an excellent pizza place! Easy ordering, super fast delivery, affordable and a great pie. Ordered from them quite often to help support local small businesses but to also keep our sanity during the lockdown. I just moved out of the city and truly miss you guys. Thanks for being open and helping the neighborhood during the dark days of the pandemic.“
