27 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Scottsdale

“There's a lot of hype about this restaurant on Instagram and it's certainly very Instagrammable. Our waiters were excellent, and there are plenty of cute locations to take photos. The drinks are cute in presentation and have good flavor, but I'm unsure how much alcohol is in them, because we could not taste or feel it. The food is also flavorful, but slightly different than expected. I got the beef kebabs, which say they come with crispy potatoes, which turned out to be crispy shreds of potato on top of the beef rather than a true side of potatoes. Fun for a girls night but I'm not sure it's worth all the hype. We had originally planned to do the $100 girlfriend dinner experience, but on arrival realized that the five course menu didn't have anything different than the regular menu. So we opted to select things off the regular menu and saved money this way. “

“Just decided to try this restaurant on a whim! Ordered the Chicken Tawook Plate with sides of Lentil soup & salad, all of which was delicious! I will be back!“

“Found you all the way from Canada! Our client praised you for the delivery fresh and hot, right on time. I hope we will one day come down personally to taste the incredible food!“

“Toka is an absolute gem in Scottsdale for anyone looking to experience genuinely authentic Balkan cuisine. The restaurant not only impresses with its immaculate cleanliness but also captures a genuine Balkan atmosphere. The decor and ambiance are warm, inviting, and reminiscent of a cozy, traditional Balkan eatery.

The staff is incredibly kind, and their service is top-notch, making you feel like part of the family. We’ve had čevapčiči and burek all over the Balkans, but we rarely enjoyed them as much as we did here. The perfectly grilled and juicy čevapčiči were seasoned to perfection, and the meat-rich burek was flaky and savory—a true delight.

What makes Toka even more special is its offering of traditional Balkan products for sale, featuring original brands that are hard to find elsewhere. From food items to drinks and sweets, you can take a piece of the authentic Balkan experience home with you.

Toka is a must-visit for anyone seeking a genuine taste of the Balkans right in Scottsdale. Highly recommend!“

“Most delicious Greek food ever.“

“My favorite go to place for mediterranean food Always perfect portions, always delish 🙏“

“I absolutely love this place! I order the chicken and rice at least four times a week, whether it's for lunch or dinner when I don’t have time to cook at home. It's always delicious and perfectly fits into my healthy lifestyle. The guys are also incredibly kind and friendly, which makes every visit even better. Highly recommend!“

“Good Kosher food and great service.“

“Im new to Arizona and was craving some good Mediterranean cuisine. I found this place on Google and tried it because the ratings were good. I placed a pick up order online. When I walked in, I immediately noticed how clean the establishment was and then I was warmly greeted by the owner. He was very kind and wanted to make sure my experience was good. He said to personally let him know if something wasn't right. I got home and everything was not only hot and fresh, but it tasted delicious. I ordered the mixed kebab plate and there wasn't one thing that I didn't enjoy. The garlic sauce is 🤌🏽🤌🏽 chefs kiss! I do wish there was a hot sauce option.“

“I got the gyro plate here is how it went:
1. The gyro 10/10 full of meat and the taziki sauce was to die for
2. Hummus was good for the plain flavor 8/10 a little too much oil on top, came with a half a pita.
3. Salad that comes with is was a super disappointment, just chopped lettuce and a watery dressing 2/10 only because the dressing had a decent flavor.
Hope this helps but just my opinion!

Tried to order again they don’t open when they say they will and poor food when they do.“

“Love this place & thank you always!!“

“Wow! Hummus Republic has excellent flavors! The food was fresh, in fact the lemon chicken was low, so he grilled up fresh, same with the grilled veggies. He was very helpful as it was our first time in. There are so many ingredients to choose from to build your bowl or pita. It's a flavor explosion! And, they don't skip on the items they pile in the bowl!“

“This place is wonderful. Everything was so fresh and yummy! My 10 year old loved the Caesar salad and hummus so much, we went back 3 times on our 8 day stay in Scottsdale. We would probably go 3 times a week if we lived there!“

“This is one of the best Philly cheesesteaks I've ever had I would rate them an 11 Elijah best server I've seen in a long time very personable“

“I’m so glad found this place. We use to have one in the Bay Area that closed down.

We got the Chicken+Rice & Steak+Harissa. Both was so good and full of flavor. Even my toddler loved it! Can’t wait to come back 🤤“

“ok sorry no this place is not fun anymore and we have been having fun here for 40 years.
It appears this place is now a venue for bachelor and bachelorette parties so don't plan on getting a seat we arrive at 6pm and the parties were started and there were no seats

It was loud the bachelor Party guys all sang together and it was very loud and was fun for a sing or two but then it went on and on meanwhile we were waiting our turn to sing
I put four songs up at 630pm and I did not have a tip because I needed to pay for our food first I only had a hundred in me
As soon as I had some change I went up and ripped the guy some . New kareoke guy and he avoided eye contact with me I though this very ODD
SO BY 9 NINE WE STILL had not sang so I went to check and turns out they some how missed place out four request
I asked for my tip back and said no we just dropped 90 bucks on food drinks and a song NO WE ARE NOT GOING TO REWRITE THEM give back the tip

It gets worse not only were we treated awful
And then I observed the older woman Manager take the drink from one of the gals that were crammed in a corner table due to the large parties sucking the place up they were removed from the bar I saw the woman Manager put her fingers in her drink and then she put out a reserved sign on the table and it sent Empty
Folks something going wrong here
I give it one but I want people to know this is not FUN“

“Looooved it! Nice atmosphere, great tasting food, wine and fresh challot!! Todah Achim!“

“My go-to for lunch at work. Fresh and flavorful, lots of options.“

“We enjoyed a fabulous dinner at the chef’s tasting table. Each course was amazing, service was exceptional and the overall experience was A+. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something a little different in a beautiful setting.“

“Great food and service at Gyros Plus! My family has been coming here for years and really enjoy the pita sandwiches, fries, and salads. A very reliable local (not a chain!) spot.“

“Indulge in one of their amazing cocktails, choose the octopus for the first course, and enter dreamland from there. Last night was the latest A++ dinner where everything was done perfectly, and danced on our tastebuds like magic. A very special place, and there’s a reason why people are inspired to exclaim ‘best meal ever’. Life is short, go this week, Highly recommended.“

“Was super excited to have found this place. I have been looking for that soup for a minute. Reminds me of Merakis in Vegas. First time soup was lukewarm and second time rice was lukewarm warm lol. If you can fix that then you will have a longtime client.“

“Simple yet amazing!!! Me and my family had a wonderful experience for lunch today. From the appetizers to the lunch meal, you couldn’t go wrong with anything you ordered! One of the best meals I’ve had since being here.“

“This is my favorite food in Scottsdale. We eat here twice a month, at least. We are vegetarians and the Oyster Mushroom entree is INCREDIBLE and uniquely vegetarian. The seasoning and the rice that accompanies the mushrooms pulls this hearty and very filling dish together. Meat eaters would enjoy this dish as well. The hummus is so so good and we enjoy the vegetarian platter with dolma, hummus and tabouli as well. My children like the chicken fillet kabob and never complain when we order from Pars. The baklava is excellent as well. We always do take out, but the small, family run restaurant has a nice atmosphere to dine in. This is a wonderful local and family run place that has pride in its food and presentation. Everyone is warm and friendly and very helpful. Please try this special restaurant. You will not be disappointed.“

“Beautiful atmosphere and the menu is excellent! Special occasions at Francine Restaurant will be memorable and delightful! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Had my daughter’s Bridal Shower there!! Was beautiful! Good service and great food!!“

“We arrived early for our reservation and were greeted by the hostesses immediately! We those to take a bar seat instead of a table were promptly taken care of by the bartenders. Our drinks were made fast and delivered perfectly, the spiga old fashions. Our food, the chicken parm and shrimp pasta were cooked wonderfully and tasted fresh as well as delicious. Delivered quickly and hot! The service was impeccable. Love this place!“
