21 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Lafayette

“Good place for to-go sandwiches and coffee because the place is small. I got checkin Pesto and Cappuccino, and both were really good.

Parking: There are plenty of parking. However, I am not sure if you have to pay because most of the meters are not working.“

“Very good choice, great food“

“Great food!“

“The service is professional at this restaurant. They have real Turkish food, delicious, yummy anything you name it. I had chicken shawarma wrap and it was amazing! They also have a lot of homemade chocolates and baklavas.
Thank you for providing healthy meals!“

“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!“

“Exceptional all around. A more elegant menu than most restaurants in the area. The people seem to enjoy working there, so the service is friendly and accommodating in an unobtrusive way. The food quality and menu selection is excellent. If the weather is decent, try the patio! We did and it lent a casual elegance to the evening.“

“Great food and service! Special atmosphere“

“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!“

“Savoring Lebanese cuisine; like never before . una reunión de amigos ... y una comida excelente ... de falafel boy quede impresionado. más que recomendado.“

“Incredibly nice people, and great food. Got the Chicken on the Sticks and I can definitely tell why they are known for this. It’s incredibly delicious and I’ll definitely be eating here again. Also great pricing and a good variety of choices, but not too many where you get lost in their selection.“

“I went there today for their "soft opening" after stopping in yesterday and talking to Brandon. I've been waiting for them to open! Everything was A+ EXCELENT! Counter people are learning but they got everything right!Congratulations and welcome to Danville!“

“We ordered the combination shawarma plate. Food tastes great and well balanced as it came with a generous servings of meat along with the flavorful steamed rice, salad and pita bread with hummus. Their mango lassi is so good, not overwhelmingly sweet. Our lady server was very pleasant and greeted us with a smile. Overall the restaurant ambience very nice, clean and quiet. Even the restroom was fairly clean.“

“The food is outstanding the atmosphere very inviting wish I had the time to sit with a glass of chanti wine 🍷 and enjoy the aromas of the food while being prepared!“

“Wow. This is a very unassuming restaurant and off a busy road so easy to miss. This is some of the most flavorful Mediterranean food I've had in a while. All of the meats were incredibly well flavored. The rice was delicious and the sauces were excellent. And our toddlers ate. This is a BIG deal. Our toddlers hate all food outside of crab, berries, Mexican rice/beans, and now“

“Love everything here, been coming back for years, great family, food, chill place.
Quiet a bit of health and nourishment received here. Finally got my Mom here the other day too 😄 Thank you for all the years of keeping me healthy :)“

“Great Lunch Menu Specials!!!“

“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“

“Gotta Eatta Pita in Pleasant Hill is a fantastic spot for fresh, delicious Mediterranean food. Located in the heart of Pleasant Hill downtown, it’s a convenient and inviting place to grab a quick yet satisfying meal.

Their pita sandwiches and bowls are packed with flavorful, high-quality ingredients, and the variety of fresh salads and toppings make every bite amazing. The falafel is crispy and well-seasoned, the chicken is juicy and tender, and the hummus is incredibly smooth and creamy. Portions are generous, making it a great value for the price.

Beyond the food, the restaurant is clean, the service is friendly, and the ordering process is quick and efficient—perfect for a casual lunch or dinner. Whether you’re a fan of Mediterranean cuisine or just looking for a healthier fast-casual option, Gotta Eatta Pita is a must-try!“

“awesome place and great food“

“My wife and I came out from the Concord area to beat the inland heat and spend the day in Berkeley. We got hungry and decided to stop in here for lunch. The food was delicious!! I’m sad the fact the only picture I took I shared to my Instagram stories and don’t have a picture of my plate. But I had the beef kabob plate with, rice, salad, naan, and hummus. The beef was very tasty and tender. The rice was perfectly cooked and salad was fresh and crispy. My wife had the chicken kabob plate, which came with rice, salad, naan, hummus. The food portions were great and the price is amazing, and the staff is really friendly and welcoming. Great atmosphere to enjoy lunch. I’ll definitely be taking the drive from Concord again here in the near future. As this place is a winner every time.“

“I've had the pleasure of featuring La Mediterranee Catering twice--once for a gathering with out-of-town colleagues and again for a fundraiser they generously contributed to. In both cases, they absolutely upleveled the experience. One guest, who had literally just flown in from Greece and was skeptical at first, was shocked at how delicious the food was!

La Mediterranee takes a fresh twist on what you think of as Mediterranean--familiar yet elevated, and absolutely addictive (I'm salivating while writing this). The dolmas were fresh and vibrant, the hummus silky and perfectly spiced, and the Chicken Cilicia Fillos--with that subtle cinnamon twist in their melt-in-your-mouth filo--set a new standard for comfort food. NOM NOM. The spanakopita was flaky and savory, the Levant sandwiches were gorgeous and gone in minutes, and the falafel? Spot on. We couldn't stop there and included their baklavah and cake desert which you can see is super preety! Truly a spread that impresses every time.
Beyond the food, the team is a joy to work with--professional, flexible, and genuinely kind. Their contribution elevated the entire atmosphere of our events and left guests raving. We are so grateful for their partnership and cannot recommend them highly enough!“
