17 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Half Moon Bay

“This is exactly the type of establishment we were looking for - casual, warm, and with delicious food. Hassan and his team took care of me and my daughter. My vegetarian daughter had their amazing moussaka and dolma. And the rice pudding was out of this world!“

“I really love this place! The food is just delectable and yummy! I recommend the combo appetizer plate and the combo meat plate for two people to share. It will allow you to sample everything and still be content. I wish one thing they did differently was double the pita bread serving for the appetizer plate. That’s the only con. The service is quick and friendly. The restaurant is very modern and airy.“

“Very Nice staff and very clean kitchen and they always treat ME LIKE FAMILY WHEN I COME IN. I recommend this place and its a great addition to our community. Love Teena“

“Everything i ordered (mansaf, veggie plate, chick shawerma, dolma, tabbouleh) was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. And the aish elsraya was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. I’m going back for more. Great service, too.“

“A Hidden Gem!
Don’t let the name fool you—Meditation Pizza and Gyros is actually a go-to spot for incredible Turkish food. The Adana kebap is grilled to perfection—spicy, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Pair it with their fluffy rice and salad, and you’re golden.

Their pide is equally amazing—crispy edges, soft center, and topped with melty cheese or savory meats. It’s the ultimate comfort food.

And please, whatever you do, save room for the künefe. This dessert is a masterpiece—warm, crispy, gooey cheese soaked in sweet syrup and topped with pistachios. It’s the kind of thing you close your eyes for after the first bite.

Great food, kind service, cozy vibe—this place has earned a permanent spot on my favorites list.“

“This restaurant is close to the Milbrae Caltrain and Bart stations and the San Francisco International airport. It's an excellent choice for having food when dropping or waiting to pick up someone at the airport. The food is fresh and delicious There are good vegetarian choices.“

“The kebabs were so good, I don't think I've ever had kebabs that even came close to these. We came in kind of late but they were still friendly and served us a lovely meal. The hummus was flavorful and had depth, usually garlic is overpowering but not here. Even the dressing on the salad was delicious. I wish we lived closer.“

“We got a combo doner (gyro) wrap. I am picky about doner, it is very hard for me to like if it is not really good. But this doner was amazing! Juicy, well cooked, tasty. No additional sauce in the wrap, just like the real Turkish doner! I highly recommend this place. And I’ll definitely try the other meal options in the future.“

“ONE word "EXCELLENT". Great menu, love the murals, quick service, clean and they even serve beer and wine. parking is tricky so have patience. Garlic Fries, Hummus, Combo Gyro Plate!“

“We ordered the house combo and it was very tasty. It came with 4 meats(chicken,beef,gyro ,koftedes). All of the meat was juicy,tender and well seasoned. The rice. was fluffy ans delicious. The mixed green salad had tomatoes amd cucumber and was topped with a pickled cabbage and dressed to perfection. I only had a small bite of the pita because rhe meal was so filling. I can't wait to try the baklava we ordered. What a great find. I will definitely be going back to this restaurant.“

“Society Restaurant & Hookah Lounge is one of our favorite spots! The place looks amazing—really luxurious and classy. The food is always on point, and the hookah is the best we’ve had. What keeps us coming back is the service. Everyone there is super friendly, from the staff to the owner and manager. They always make sure we’re taken care of and having a great time. 5 stars for sure!“
