50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Bellaire

“Fresh Choice Cafe offers a cozy ambiance and a diverse menu featuring high-quality, fresh ingredients. The seared scallops were a standout, perfectly cooked and flavorful. The attentive and friendly service made the dining experience even better. Highly recommended!“

“Okay, nothing special. I had their bowl with brown rice and lamb. Lamb was dry, felt old, but they had just opened. Toppings were fresh and all tased good: you get to add 4 toppings. Garlic sauce was very good. Guy behind the line was friendly and courteous. Sparse interior but felt clean. Nothing stands out: nice local atmosphere. Worth a try, but not sure I'd go back. Very sparse menu.“

“I've come here several times and everytime they mess up my order.I don't know if it's because I ask for a military discount ( which they have) or something else but the service I received is less than the other patrons that come here.“

“Staff extremely accommodating… delicious food❤️“

“Kasra Persian Grill has superb tasting food, beautiful atmosphere, top notch service, and generous portions. This is about our fourth time eating here, and we devoured the hot pita with amazingly tasty hummus. Then I decided to try something different and had chicken when my wife had ground beef with salad. We love this restaurant!“

“Inside is very plain and uninviting. Outdoor patio was nice. Music was loud and in general not good. Need Mediterranean music. Friendly and helpful server. Lots of variety on the menu. Meat with good flavor, moist and not overcooked. Fresh veggies. Good flavor in the sauce. Some things feel overpriced though. I would return. :)“

“Beautiful place, nice staff, and awesome food! I sat at table 7 and had a Greek Gyro pita with fries and I felt like I was at home, definitely worth checking out!“

“This food is to die for. It was our first time and the staff was extremely friendly helping us navigate the ordering process. Everything we ordered was perfect and the pita was the best we've ever had. I enjoyed crafting each bite individually with different sides and proteins; the flavor combinations seemed endless! I don't live in Houston, so unfortunately I'll have to dream about this food until we get a chance to come back.“

“Everything is delicious, it is a very good option for all those who want to maintain the diet without sacrificing flavor, the employees are very friendly and respectful, the atmosphere is very pleasant and warm, ideal for going alone or with a group. You will love it.“

“This restaurant is amazing. I really enjoyed my food. I ordered the half grain and half greens bowl with braised lamb and falafel. The breeze lamb was juicy and delicious and the falafel was awesome. The cucumber mint lemonade is to die for. This place based on food would be a 10 out of 10, but because the service was not great I had to takeoff a star. I would recommend knowing what you want before you come here because the staff was a little impatient with me asking a couple of questions (I have allergies so I have to ask).“

“Finally was able to try Big Bite and so glad I did. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap and a gyro. Both were very good with lots of meat and the classic flavors you are looking for. Meat was tender, juicy and not over salted. Sauces were all great and the chili sauce had a nice little kick.Luckily, the owner showed up while I was there because he told me that the ‘over rice’ things are what they are know for. He hooked me up with a sample that blew me away with that flavor packed rice. That is the way to go. Excellent!! You don’t have to be out at the bars to stop by and grab some grub. So make a stop!“

“great food, customer service and atmosphere“

“This is a laid back family style place that is so delicious. There are some food items that are a little different than the Mediterranean food we are all seen. It’s fairly priced and all the recipes are flavorful fresh and fun to try. Love this place. And pretty day on the patio. This is a great place to be!“

“Absolutely amazing restaurant! We go as often as we can! Everything is absolutely delicious and the staff is wonderful!“

“My now favorite takeout. The staff are always genuinely happy to see you and you’re greeted like you’re family. Service is fast and the food…OMG. I’d never had gyro before, had lunch from them while at work and I was hooked. Fresh, fast and delicious! Miss Gloria, Hanan, and everyone else on staff are the best. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Wow. Ordered this on Uber eats cause I seen a reel on IG. And they were not exaggerating about how good this is!!!! So much flavor in each bite. Had the tacos, wraps and chicken wings over rice. My fav were the wings. Smoky and delicious!!!! I will definitely be getting this again.“

“We drove down from the Woodlands and Pasha did not disappoint!! The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly & attentive. Our advice to you - do not leave without trying their Kunafa!! Thank you Pasha! ❤️“

“Excellent service and delicious!“

“I have a nutrition certification and this place passes all of my tests for good quality food. I got decaf coffee and the eggless pancakes. Great! You must try it. They make all of their food from scratch and make a lot of homemade sauces. So worth going!“

“Great food and the vast array of choices was superb!!!“

“Excellent food service starting from the best management: always nice, organized and friendly. The best Mediterranean cuisine I’ve ever had starting from the fresh pita bread, falafel, sandwiches to go always the best! I think it’s the best place to come to eat and try everything by choice of your taste.“

“we absolutely love this place! my husband and I go often, it's always delicious!“

“This is Mediterranean style fare with great steaks. It is a laidback pace and the food is seasoned but not Texas hot.Our waiter was great his assistants were constantly refillng our water and busing amd cleaning the table.Get the cutting board to share your entrees and enjoy the flaming bone marrow!“

“Nice casual atmosphere. Good food. Friendly service.“

“It matters to me, how employees are treated by their management. Where I spend my money matters especially now. An employee was serving a client ahead of me in a To-go platter. As he serves the gentleman. A man, about 5’10, black curly hair, in a fitted well ironed stripped long sleeve button up with black slacks came around to “help” as I assumed. But instead he grabs the platter out of the employees hand as he towers over him, looks him up and down, SCOFFS, and his facial expression didn’t match the situation, it was discuss and distain. Mind you, it was about tabouli being put in a place in the To-Go box. This happened in front of me, and in front of another client. He says nothing to the employee but an eye roll. And proceeds to serve the other client. Why does it matter? Why do I care? I have worked in the food industry my whole life, and just like that man treated the employee I too was treated in such ways. If you don’t understand, I’m sorry you have lived a life of convenience and haven’t had to experience being mistreated. The food is excellent the, the place is clean. The only thing that is lacking, is their humanity. Do better. Be kinder.“

“Food was delicious but the baklava ice cream was a huge hit.“

“Nothing to not like about the experience. Good food. Relaxed atmosphere. Great selections. Huge portions. Budget friendly.“

“For some reason we don’t come often, but every time we come to this restaurant the food and service are excellent. I had the scallops as an entree, my better half had the pork chop. Both were prepared with an excellent touch.Wine prices are great here but we normally bring our own bottle for a reasonable corkage fee. Either way you’ll pay much less than other Houston restaurants of this caliber.“

“an amazing place to enjoy the most delicious food.“

“They have been serving great food for a long time.“

“ALWAYS amazing! Customer service is always on point, the staff and owners appreciate their customers and always make you feel at home. I love that they always write nice messages on the to-go boxes and that they always adapt to special requests. Outstanding presentation, perfect portions and perfect price- value.“

“The best bakery in town! Great food and good prices.“

“Attentive counter staff, large portions, tasty quality fresh food, at fair price.“

“I shop here weekly and have nothing but good things to say. Mostly I purchase pita bread (in varying sizes) along with Zaatar Manakeesh. The bread is always fresh, delicious and well priced. They also have the ability to take orders for large purchases if you need it for an event or just have a large family. For other items I would recommend the date maamoul , labneh, hot sauce, or tabouli which are all made in house. Droubis also carries various mediterranean cheeses so I make sure to grab some from their deli. The owner and staff are great people and I always enjoy the conversations I have with them.“

“Best lamb beef and fat skewers in Houston. Their meat quality is very good and the portion size is very high. Definitely value for money. The service is pretty good even though in weekends they are Jam packed but they do a very fast service. The ambiance is great considering the parking lot have lot of places where you can bring your own chairs or eat in your car.“

“Amazing food and superb ambience“

“Seems like a nice enough place to sit down with a team and have a lunch. Staff was quick to take the order, but definitely longer in fulfilling it. Food was adequate but obviously pre-formed and not being sliced off a spit in the back - definitely not your standard gyro. Props to the iced tea.“

“delicious cousine. Fast and tasty.“

“great food, good atmosphere“

“Came in and was honestly just so appreciative of the service and hospitality. Asked me what I wanted on my bowl, gave me great portions and the food was amazing. Seasoned perfect, veggies were cold and crisp just everything was on point. I'm from Austin but will definitely hit this spot up next time I'm in Houston!!!“

“We discovered this place last week and revised today for brunch. Food was great, environment was lovely. As positive I like to be, it was bothersome to see our waiter (same young lady) both times with a less than warm attitude, or she felt stretched thin. To me, I’ll go back for a great meal, yet, if service made us feel “unwelcome” or “unenthusiastic “ as another reviewer noted, this most likely be the last visit.“

“Both the grilled and fried chicken are delicious! Friendly service“

“Service and excellent food!!“

“Accidentally ended up here during a late night drive and actually walked in looking for a vegan restaurant. The waiter (Juan) was so friendly that his cheerfulness convinced me to stay and dine on the patio of the restaurant. Juan recommended their vegan option, which was a vegan wrap. IT WAS DELICIOUS. I thoroughly enjoyed the scenery while sitting on the porch as the cars drove by. The music was classical and I was very relaxed while eating my meal because the ambiance was perfect. Thank you Juan for your excellent hospitality. Will definitely be back!“

“I just moved to the area and today was my first time coming here. I was immediately welcomed in and recognized by the manager, Christina, who used to manage Common Bond in the Heights back in 2021 when I was a local regular there - found my new regular spot in my new zip code today! She is an incredible woman and you can tell how much she is loved by the patrons and respected by the staff. The food was amazing, and the service and staff were all so friendly and accommodating. I sat and worked remotely from wifi for 3+ hrs and observed such a beautiful operation.“
