41 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Coronado

“May 2024. Not as good as last year. Hit and miss. The inside ambience was certainly lacking with "white out" and a painted table. The service was nice, but it was slow and discombobulated. It took forever to get our 1st drinks and forever to get our bill. The sequencing of bringing out our food was poor as well. The food was mostly good. Standouts included the octopus and several of the potato dishes. Misses included the oysters (too small) and scallops (small portion, salty, and overcooked). Be sure to order the lamb on the rare side - I ordered MR and it came out M+. They were out of the 1st two wines we ordered, and the wine list wasn't extensive. My biggest gripe was no horseradish. How can you serve oysters, lamb, steak, and Bloody Marys and have no horseradish in the house?!?Vegetarian options: Enough“

“Good value! Food was reasonably priced and very tasty. Customer service was very good. We went when it was crowded and the food came out fast and the staff were Friendly and very helpful! They were working hard to keep up with customer demands.“

“I was hesitant because we come from a town with good Mediterranean food. No reason for my hesitation. It's amazing! We had the feast for two and everything was mind blowing. Dessert hasn't arrived yet but I don't see how either of us can hold it. Highly recommended!“

“We were greeted by name and everyone seemed to know it was our anniversary, from the hostess stand to the person walking us to our table to our waiter. Unfortunately, I am allergic to gluten and although the menu didn't have gf marked, the wait staff was well informed and basically all the entrees and veggie dishes were naturally gf and in the case of pizzas, they offered gf crust. Their pastas were the only thing not gf. We had the branzino, trumpet mushrooms, caulilini and butter lettuce salad with the strawberry souffle for dessert. Everything was very good with lots of herbs. A little heavy on the oil and I wish there was a little bit of a citrus element to brighten things up, but still, very good and we would definitely recommend H&W.“

“My friend and I went here yesterday for their new brunch service and it was really great! The food was excellent (we had the fruit w/ mascarpone and I had the breakfast sandwich w/ potatoes) and the flavors were perfect. The decor was really cool and everyone that worked there was really lovely. I had no idea what to expect since we kind of found this place by chance, but I highly recommend it. It is in a bit of a random location, but don't be dissuaded by that. As an extra bonus, they have those amazing Japanese toilets in the bathroom, so don't skip that haha.“

“Mashallah, the food is good and deliciousWe had breakfast with them and ordered a Kosi lamp banana, and the food was good and delicious. Also, the meat and chicken shawarma. The meat was 10/10 and the chicken was 9/10. The sister was there and her service was good. Thank you for the welcome.“

“George (the owner) and his staff were incredibly hospitable and source food consciously. The baba ghanoush and falafel were INCREDIBLE, even by comparison to dishes I've had while travelling in the middle east. Highly recommend to anyone visiting San Diego! Well worth the drive from down town (better quality, better price). Bonus for LOTS of vegetarian and vegan options.“

“My niece celebrated her birthday!!OMG the food is a bomb!! so yummy and their service was 6 STARS!!! i kept asking the name of the food and the guy said don't worry when u come back i will take care of your order hahaha lovet! THANK YOU!“

“Located on Adams Avenue, this coffee shop has patio seating. You stand in a line and order your drinks and food. They have some pastries, sandwiches, and toast options along with a variety of cold brew, hot coffee, and tea. They have a handicap accessible bathroom.“

“Satisfying home cooked Lebanese cooking! I’ve tried a lot of places so I can happily say this place is now one of my favorites. No frills, no upscale pretentious vibes, just good ol’ delicious food served quickly. Looks like it was ran by 2 guys, one cooking and one taking orders. It’s a smaller joint that has capacity for maybe up to 18 diners. Intimate setting, simple set up but ridiculously delicious and genuine food. Their lentil soup is something I dream about occasionally. I ordered the chicken tawook bowl since I wasn’t that hungry and it HIT THE SPOT. Hummus was spot on, too. I’m excited for when I go downtown again so I can indulge and try something else on the menu. Everything I got I thoroughly enjoyed. Even the tea! If you’re looking for a simple yet delicious and flavorful meal, make sure you stop by here. I’m so happy they’re in my city! NOTE: if you like spice, make sure to ask for their signature spicy sauce on the side. You’re welcome ?“

“The best Turkish restaurant in San Diego featuring delicious Mediterranean dishes on their menu. Everything was fresh and homemade; Including their Doner Kebab ( homemade Gyro) and tasty home made pistachio baklava was out of this world! Great service! Family owned!“

“This was amazing! I wish I had took pictures but it was too good to wait.The gyro is so unique, yet the best gyro I have ever had. The orange juice is very good. The service was amazing. Medina was so hospitable. We will be back every time I am in San Diego. Hvala!!!“

“Talk about great service and food!! Litzy and Emily were amazing. They gave us great recommendations about which foods are delicious and it didn't not disappoint. The loaded fries were bomb dot com!!!!! Thank you Litzy and Emily I'll be coming back in future for sure!“

“Not only does this Luna Grill serve outstanding food, but its service is above and beyond. When a server realized that a small item had been left out of our curbside delivery, she chased us down to be sure we got it. We really appreciated her effort, and we loved the meal of flat grilled chicken, rice, hummus, flatbread, carrots and tzatziki. Just delicious! Thanks, Luna Grill!“

“I've been coming to this restaurant for decades. The location and staff have changed over the years, but still the same great owners. The staff is still friendly and attentive.This is a casual yet somewhat upscale feeling spot, and it has wonderful Greek food. Some of the best gyros, avgolemono soup, and lemon chicken around. I've never had anything I'd didn't like here. Good breakfasts too!There are some outdoor tables in front, an enclosed patio that isn't quite outdoors, but it has really good airflow, so you get a quasi-alfresco feel dining out there, and the interior has a nice warm, homey kind of ambiance.I love Olympic!Parking: They have their own lot in front, plus a few spots on each side and in the backWheelchair accessibility: It's all level, no steps“

“my favorite restaurant of all time! the service is always impecable and it is the best food you can dream of for vegans and non vegans alike. they can cater to a wide range of allergies including (but not limited to) gluten free, nut free, and soy free. the wait staff are incredibly knowledgeable about the food and beverage selection and are so kind and helpful if you have any questions. the outdoor patio is beautiful with plants all around and the ambiance inside is lovely as well. my fiancé and i are having our wedding reception at donna jean and everybody at the restaurant has been so helpful every step of my planning. we are so excited to share our favorite restaurant with our friends and family. i would genuinely give 10 stars if i couldDietary restrictions: i can’t imagine a lot of dietary restrictions they are unable to accommodate.“

“It's nice when a restaurant actually looks like the posts on social media! Really quick and good service. Food and cocktails were excellent. I got the brunch burger which was very filling. The Italian donuts are a must try. Definitely recommend this place for good food and ambience. Got reservations but their online system breaks down sometimes. Says it posts a month out but it did not or the event would erase.“

“I watched an Eater LA video about FurnSaj being one of the best Lebanese restaurants in Los Angeles. This is my kind of place! It is a simple counter restaurant in a strip shopping center in Granada Hills with additional locations in Glendora and Calabasas. You have everything from flatbreads and traditional Mediterranean meals to choose from. I went with the cheese boreg mana’ish and the spinach pie. Both were reasonable and delicious! They give a lot of food for the money. They take cash and credit cards as well as Apple Pay and other mobile payment options. Restaurant employees and guests were wearing masks. Based on how great the flatbreads taste, I would definitely go back and try some of the other options on the menu.“

“As a Moroccan who lived most of her life in Morocco and the rest in baja cali. I love to come to this place and eat their food. It really makes me feel home and I love the taste and every bite of their food especially the hot Moroccan tea. I highly recommend this “

“Best Gyro's. Stuffed with lots of meat, diced veggies. A little of everything with every bite. Very, very fresh.Always feel welcomed with every visit. If there are any slight issues with anything, they go the extra mile to make it just right. This place is Awesome and of course, so is the food.Also LOVE, LOVE the beet salads!“

“We have wanted to find a Greek restaurant in downtown, and it was quite hard until a neighbor told us about this place. This restaurant is outstanding!! Rosalie is very pleasant, makes amazing cocktails and knows everyone. Authentic Greek food and apps is why we continue to come back to this place.“

“WoW! I so love everything about this lovely restaurant. It is above and beyond expectations for Pacific Beach. Yes, food and ambiance but customer service is absolutely the finest. I have been going there for many years. It keeps getting better! Joe is now doing much of the management for his father. (the owners : ). I've watched him grow the business with the intelligence and passion of a young Bishops to USC business grad. Example: Tonight he was superb in handling a minor situation about my purse being on a chair next to me. The restaurant, (my neighborhood "Go To") was quite busy, and yet Joe took the time to ask me for input about where he should place hooks for women's purses. Simple problem, simple solution. Just a matter of good communication. Lovely Happy Hour food, wonderful clientele to chat with and exceptional service. Our community needs you!!!“

“The food was absolutely stellar. The flavors were all there and I honestly will be coming back frequently. The service was great. The gentleman working the entire restaurant was super friendly, and him doing so much alone didn't compromise a single thing. I'm telling you, this is the spot for when you're craving some Mediterranean.“

“Friendly service. Yummy food. The meats were so nicely seasoned and very juicy. The garlic sauce with the kabobs was delicious. Hummus was clearly homemade, very good, smooth, great flavor. I liked the spices they put on the salad. Very flavorful. I would definitely go back.“

“I love the Cali style wrap, it’s my go to and big enough to have leftovers or split with someone. This place is a little pricey and a little slow which is why I take off one star. The cashier is warm and friendly and she gave me a drink on the house for the long wait which I really appreciated. I hope this spot stays as there’s nothing else like it near north park.“

“Love this place I have been coming here since 2000, I am happy it's lasted this long, the food is amazing, very authentic, super affordable and great Greek seasoning. I have yet to find a place in San Diego that can match here. They have lots and lots of awards, sometimes every year. I definitely recommend it. Right in the heart of Hillcrest it's got great staff clean bathrooms and a great view of the street with it's big glass windows. Anyone who's giving a bad review doesn't know what Greek food is. Go here it's fantastic!!! Super yummy! Thank you to the owner for always being speedy and giving me great food all these years!“

“4.5 stars. This is a great fusion of Mediterranean and Mexican cuisine. On a Sat afternoon, it wasn't too busy but if the parking lot in front of it is packed, parking could be a problem.I got 3 Shack tacos with gyro, chicken shawarma and the falafel, the shawarma wrap with their spiciest sauces, and a bunch of toppings including the jalapenos, and the side of falafel.The tacos were the best of them all - falafel then gyro then chicken shawarma. The gyro was a little too salty for my liking but the chicken shawarma didn't have enough spice on it, so that's why I preferred the gyro to the shawarma. The falafel was easily the best of them all as the falafel was soft and crunchy and actually complimented the tabouli salad, feta and the tzatziki sauce. The tacos are corn tortillas but they feel a little more like rotis.The wrap was very filling. It wasn't as spicy as I would've liked despite choosing the spiciest sauces and the jalapenos. The side of falafel was very tasty. The falafel wasn't too dry but not too oily.I had initially decided to give them 5 stars. However, I had to downgrade to 4.5 stars because the tortilla and the wrap got really soggy very quickly. So, they fell apart more quickly than I would've liked. The salty gyro and not so spicy chicken shawarma were my other reasons.I loved my whole experience and I will definitely be back to eat more of your shack tacos for sure!“

“I never write reviews…even when I really really disliked a place…but I’m literally writing this right after I ate here. First of all, I think the lady that helped me order was named Alexandera…well give her a raise…I haven’t had a better customer service experience in such a long time! And that’s on top of how good the food was! I had the Chx Cream Chop Wrap…and wow! So good!!! And when you add that red sauce that it came with…seriously…mind blown! Not only will I come back…I will tell everyone I know about this place!“

“The food is so good that I can't stop thinking about Allthe things that are so good and the fish is amazing the Patatachap is so good with rice your smoothies are great and clean floors amazing customer service backround is nice how you cook is amazing the gyro is so good thanks nana Fofo Waseem mark martin James for all the things that you make you guys are so helpful five star of course“

“Kebob Craft is conveniently located by barracks 14 at the boat entrance.Jessie was super helpful and friendly!Food is amazing, wish they had more locations.The bowl is huge, with tons of amazing toppings, definitely get the pickled turnips.“

“Service is excellent! Went for dinner with three other women and we felt very welcomed as soon as we walked in the door. Food came out so fast and was delicious! We sat in their covered outdoor space which was super cute! Prices are very reasonable. I recommend this place for great Greek food and great service.“

“It all started with the Gyro and have been returning ever since I can remember. Great family-owned spot with excellent food for the price and friendly customer service that will keep you coming back for more. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area!“

“This food truck is a hidden gem in Chula Vista! You can see just how juicy and tender the chicken and beef were in the picture! I usually drive to San Diego to eat mediterranean food because there isn't many options in CV. But now that I found this place, it will definitely be my go to. The meat is flavorful, the pita bread is fluffy, and the tabouli tastes fresh! There's not a long wait time and the service is nice. My only complaint is that I wish they gave more tabouli. Nonetheless, this place is delicious and I recommend getting their garlic sauce too to top off your meal. I will for sure be going more often and trying more things on the menu!“

“Let me start off by saying that Jill is amazing. My family came in hungry and happy - ready to eat. She welcomed us with a smile and the service didn't stop there. Once our food came she checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was great and the ambiance was perfect.“

“I came here bc as a child, my somalian neighbors would give me sambusas and wanted my tastebuds to reminisce, and did they. The sambusas were so flavorful & the fufu with beef & spianch soup were exquisite!. i can not wait to go back & get more !l“

“I have been wanting to go here for years and finally had a chance to go with my wife for a Friday lunch. Parking can be a little tough, but there is free street parking and pay lots nearby. The restaurant atmosphere is super cool inside and the wait staff was incredibly friendly. The food was delicious. We got an appetizer platter and loved it. We ate the entire appetizer platter, including extra Pita bread, and almost ruined our appetites before our entrées arrived. The main meals were delicious. I also got the vegetarian platter with 4 different items and different rices.I will definitely go again (next time not on a Friday during Lent so that I can try some of the entrées with meat options). I will also recommend to friends and others.Vegetarian options: Wide variety of vegetarian options with excellent flavor profiles and large, hearty portions.“

“We have ordered Kebabs before here, we recently ordered a meal kit that was all rice and hardly any meat, I mean it was a joke, its a $30 meal. I messaged them because we have ordered several times before and thought maybe they would try to make it right but they never replied. This was 2 weeks ago. We will never buy food here again! The servings are very small and there are tons of other places to eat or order take out around here if they want to be jerks about it! The food is average really, we order out frequently so as not to have to cook and live in the area. We got about $1 worth of rice and lettuce for a $30 meal plate, what a joke!“

“I tried the Beef and Lamb Shawarma plate. The portions are large so you can probably share this plate. Ordered it with Rice and Salad. Also came with hummus. Everything was delicious. I also tried the whole fried chicken wings which were also very tasty. So if in the mood for Gyros. You definitely should try this place out. Also has many other options on their menu. It's located in the Fiesta Market .“

“Delicious food (tender lamb, great rice and vegetables all marinated great) ... My kid loved the spaghetti and hummus with ground beef . the chicken salad with light and tasty dressing. Appetizer samosa chicken deal super delicious. Good flavored hot tea and milk. Very gracious service , comfortable family friendly environment“

“Excellent food quality, portion, and flavors. Ordered the chef special and was pleased how fresh and pleasant the seasoning, sauce, ingredients were used. The owners were friendly and helpful with explaining some aspects of the food. The casual setting with picnic tables outside felt accordingly to the environment. Sadly I was too eager to enjoy the food to take a photo for presentation.“

“My friend is a regular at this place and finally I decided to try it for myself. We went here around 9:00 p.m. Sunday night, they close at 10:00.We ordered two breakfast Gyros with a side of fries. Apparently, this is on their secret menu, and I highly recommend it! If you love any type of breakfast foods it's similar to breakfast burrito but with gyro. Jam packed with flavor. Made fresh to order.Also, the fries are perfectly salted, crunchy, and soft.It was a great meal. I live right around the corner, so I definitely will be returning customer.“
