Mediterranean Restaurants near Alameda

“I was invited by my friends for a get together for Christmas. We decided to come to Asena. It was my first time. I love the ambiance, the service. You will see the owner mingling with diners. I even had a picture with him. So love this place. Come and checktl this place out.“

“The food was top notch, but the counter woman was not the most kind. I said I was picking up an online order and she kind of threw it at me and didn't even give me a bag or say anything nice. Don't know if I'll be back, which is a shame because the food was good!“

“Absolutely loved the falafel bowl, with a huge portion size. Would highly recommend their grandma’s sauce to top it up, very flavourful, lightly spiced, perfect to balance the hummus and falafel.

The falafel burger with sweet potato fries was equally underwhelming. The burger was tasteless and dry with falafel as the patty and just ketchup. Would have been so much nicer with hummus or any other sauces on top. The fries were hard and chewy, definitely seemed refried and not fresh.

The strawberry lychee cooler was deliciously soothing, not too sweet, just perfect.

The baklava was too soggy and sweet. Not terrible but also not great.

Overall, the bowls are a safe bet which will not disappoint“

“Wow!!! One of the best greek spots I've ever tried! I definitely reccomend trying their kefta kabob platter! It was worth it and so flavorful!!! After passing by here many years I finally got to try this! :)
See you next time!“

“Best lamb I’ve had. Kids loved it too!!! Our new spot“

“Ordered to go. It was packed inside which is a good indication they’re good! I’ve never had a beef Shawarma, only chicken, and I really enjoyed it. The side Mediterranean salad was delicious, both were great. The man who gave me my food was very nice. I’ll be back.“

“Recently celebrated my moms 80th birthday with a party here, we rented out the space for the event and they provided a wonderful meal. Cant say enough good things about the food quality, lovely environment, and working with their team- Sequoia was such a help! Thank you all.“

“This restaurant serving Azerbaijani cuisine is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food is exceptional — every dish, from the starters and salads to the main courses, is beautifully presented and bursts with authentic and unique flavor. Be sure to try the Khojaly lamb shank, kebabs, shah plov and dolma — you won’t find anything like them anywhere else in the Bay Area.

What truly sets Bistro 4293 apart is the owner, Anar. He’s a genuinely great guy with a wonderful sense of humor, plenty of engaging stories and a true passion for what he does. He is very friendly, down-to-earth and always open to feedback. Anar brings a personal touch that makes every visit memorable. He often stops by tables to chat with guests, making the dining experience feel more like a gathering among friends. It is obvious he loves his restaurant and is passionate about what he does.

This place offers one of the best dining experiences — and most importantly, best values — in the area. Can’t recommend it highly enough!“

“I had the chicken shawarma platter. Everything was amazing cooked to perfection. Service was immaculate. I’ve had some of the best shawarmas growing up in the Middle East and this comes very close. If I was close by I would definitely come back more often.“
