24 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Massapequa

“A positive review for Sumaq Grill & Bowl- thank you for a great experience When I entered, the restaurant is more of a casual/takeout style place, but it’s extremely clean and there are comfortable seating options if you choose to enjoy your meal there. I was greeted kindly by an employee who answered my questions I had about some platters. I ordered the chicken platter & gyro platter & I am so happy I did. You are able to see the kitchen from the seating area of restaurant and I watched how fresh everything was cooked and prepared. I did order my meals to go, and everything was packed nicely. I wish I took pictures of my meals because they were so delicious. Chicken was delicious and gyro was extremely fresh and flavorful. The platters were plentiful with a good amount of rice, salad etc. and reasonably priced. I cannot wait to go back. They also have other platters, apps, create your own shawarma bowls, soups and more. I am really pleased with my first time enjoying Sumaq Grill and I recommend you give it a try.“

“Really good food authentic and delicious. Home made!“

“My friend and I had a delightful experience at this Mediterranean restaurant in Westbury, New York. We visited it on a Friday evening around 5 o’clock and were surprised to find the restaurant nearly empty, with only one other table occupied by a birthday celebration. The restaurant’s location at the crossroads of Merrick Avenue and Old Country Road made it easy to access, with plenty of parking available.Despite its small size, FandoQ had a cozy and neat atmosphere, decorated with beautiful ethnic paintings on the walls. The manager was exceptionally pleasant and attentive to our needs throughout the evening.For our appetisers, I ordered the Samosa, a fried pastry filled with vegetables and chickpeas, while my friend enjoyed the lentil soup and spinach pie. The portions were generous, so my friend decided to skip the main course, while I savoured the Adana kebab, which was a flavourful and perfectly grilled ground lamb dish served with fluffy white rice.To accompany our meal, my friend opted for Chianti, while I chose a refreshing pomegranate martini. For dessert, we shared a delightful Persian tea and indulged in the baklava and Persian ice cream, which was vanilla-based with pistachios.Throughout our meal, we were serenaded by the soothing music by RilTim, which added to the overall ambiance without being too loud, allowing us to enjoy both the music and our conversation.In conclusion, our experience at FandoQ was exceptional. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was inviting. We would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy a meal with friends.“

“Great food, great service, wonderful atmosphere!“

“So delicious. The pita burgers with jalapeño is so good. I crave it until I find the time to go and get one again. It's very reasonably priced at 10.50. We just ordered and I'm craving it all over again. I've also had the chicken and rice dinners and the flavors are quite good. Next time I'll take a picture, I tend to gobble up the order before I think of taking a pic. The food is freshly made and the service is quickl. I'll be back for more.“

“My first time here and it was absolutely delicious! Everything was so fresh, flavorful and cooked perfectly. We had the vegetarian meatballs, zucchini chips, grilled chicken sticks, grilled lamb sticks and more. I loved the atmosphere. My sister is gluten free and there were so many options for her (including a separate fryer to insure no allergy). You must try this place!Dietary restrictions: They have a separate fryer for gluten free fries, etc. All their food is labeled as gluten free on the menu with so many options.“

“You will not find better Mediterranean food in the area. We used to go to this place when it was in Westbury and recently starting going again to the location in East Meadow. This location is clean, has a fantastic atmosphere and a beautiful dining area. Every dish we have ordered is bursting with flavors and plated to perfection. Quite honestly, some of the most delicious food is served here. If you are looking to expand your horizons and are tired of the same old Italian and Chinese food on long island then this is the place for you. Give it a try you will not be disappointed.“

“Very good Persian food. Andre the waiter was extraordinarily polite and efficient. The restaurant was very busy and noisy for the first hour or so of dining. We have been here many times and everything is consistent. Will definitely return.“

“We are customers for the last more than 11 years. Very tasty not too much salt, spicy or oily too. Very friendly and helpful staff. Large variety of excellent food. Please keep the grate work we appreciate very much.“

“I was so excited to find a good shawarma place. I had the chicken shawarma salad with brown rice. It with a white sauce and spicy red sauce. Both were tasty. The food was great. The service was very friendly. The ambience is cute. It is small and there are a few tables to sit at. The shawarma is Georgian (country) style shawarma which was a delicious style.“

“So i googled gyros by my work just to try something new and found this spot. I drove there and then realized it’s a gas station lol ohhhh but can looks be deceiving i walked in and was already negatively set but i said screw it im here. This was one of the best beef gyro sandwiche and fries I've had in a very long time. Honestly delicious meat was tender fries crispy and the 2 sauces they put on fire… Definitely will recommend it to anyone the gyro wasn’t huge it was on the smaller side but flavor made up for that. Insane how some small hidden gas station shop can great such an amazing gyro definitely check it out i got the gyro was with lettuce tomato cabbage and pickles sound strange for a gyro but it just works… Will 100% be going back……$15 dollars well spent honestly..“

“This location has a special place in my heart. 1988, I just came back from being stationed overseas and my girl friend (now my wife) says lets have Falafel for lunch. What's Falafel? Back then, the restaurant was called The Promised Land and it was the first time I took a bite of Falafel. Now, I was hooked! Strange that I never had nor heard of Falafel growing up in Brooklyn. Working in NYC was when I saw the different Falafel styles and was introduced to Einat Admonys version at Taim. I was a total fan of her Falafel. And to me, she gets points because she served in the IDF as well as being in Season 3 of Guy Fieri's Tournament of Champions? Shabbat Shalom sister with a fist bump. Which takes me to 2024, Taim Mediterranean Kitchen in Plainview. Walking in just floods me with so many memories. The counterperson says if I join the Taim rewards I can save on my first order so download the app. 1988 doesn't have anything on 2024! Once I downloaded the app, I ordered something simple, The O.G. Falafel Pita made with Harissa (for a little kick) I sit down to a nice, clean location. Brightly colored tables and a jug with some delicious looking lemonade. (Too sugary for me in 2024) My meal is ready. I like the fact that there is both Hummus and Tahini sauce inside the pita. It was a nice sandwich, the pita texture to me was a little off. It was too thick compared to what I'm used to at other falafel joints. Just for a moment, I had lunch back in time. Them I checked my app for the meal credit, I jumped in my Electric Car and headed home. Chicken Shawarma is calling me, I'll be back. (80s reference)“

“Ever since I found this place, its the ONLY place around work I’ll go to for lunch. I once had something pop up immediately after picking up my greek salad there, and only had a chance to eat 7 hours later, after it had turned into a soggy mess. You know what: IT STILL BANGED! Deeply loyal, 10/10, two thumbs up, enthusiastically recommend“

“The food is always good. The service was good but they were so overbooked and busy that they could not possibly be as excellent as they usually are. I Hate to not give them an amazing review because I am a regular and always have great service and excellent food there but last night was crazy busy. We waited a very long time to sit and we had reservations for 4 at 7:40lm. We waiting again a long time to get our food order in and then they were out of bronzino so it wasn't the same as usual. But I do highly recommend this restaurant and as I've said, I usually have an amazing overall experience there.“

“Food was excellent! They need more waiters and waitresses but overall I love their food!“

“Fabulous all around. Onion soup one of the best I've ever had. Burger cooked perfectly and the fresh cut french fries out of this world. Definitely coming back for a nice steak dinner when in town visiting friend. You wont be disappointed ,“

“There are lots of diners on Long Island, but many have failed to thrive. The Terrace is still around because they still know how to serve great, affordable food in a friendly atmosphere.“

“Delicious!! Great service.. creative and delicious“

“This place is beautiful and the food also compliments it. I would go back here everyday if I could. The manager is so generous and respectful. I hope for the best for this establishment.“

“A favorite local Greek eatery. Great portions. Reliable quality. Clean place. From gyro to plates, side salad and soup, everything has flavor and isnt skimpy.Tender chicken kebab, delicious salad dressing with real olive (not some lame oil and vinegar).Lunch menu is a great offering that gives you options for multiple flavors to sample. Recommended.“

“Delicious & Authentic Greek Food !!!“

“The place was super clean. The girl at the front, Juliet, was super sweet and helpful. She gave us some suggestions and she was spot on. Definitely suggest the chicken shwarma, their baklava and their lime mint vinaigrette. Also, the vegetables in the salad were so fresh.“
