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!“

Thank you for providing healthy meals!“

“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.“

“Great food and service! Special atmosphere“

“The chicken gyro bowl here was super good. The food came out really fast and the fries were super fresh. Everything in the bowl was really good, fresh ingredients, and hot. It was the perfect amount of food and the packaging was so cute. We had a miscommunication about the student discount, but the owner reached out to me and was super kind about it. This place is owned by good people and has amazing food! I highly recommend :)“

“The food was good, but there was a significant delay with my Snackpass pickup. My order number was incorrectly labeled, causing the food to sit on the counter for over 20 minutes until I spoke up about not receiving my food three separate times. No compensation, just an apology.

Update: I've came back multiple times. I love the food, and I haven't had an issue since! Would highly recommend.“

“Tahina is an abslute delight for anyone who loves fresh, flavorful Mediterranean cuisine! Every dish is packed with vibrant ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors that leave a lasting impression.

The falafel is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, while the hummus is incredibly smooth and rich—some of the best you’ll ever have. Everything tastes fresh, healthy, and made with care.

The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff are warm and welcoming, making the experience even better. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or a relaxed meal, Tahina is a place you’ll want to return to again and again. Highly recommended!“

“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!“

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

“Great Lunch Menu Specials!!!“

“Amazing authentic food! Great people that are so welcoming and treat you like family! My dad has come here for over 20 years and I come at least 3 times a week. I recommend anyone who loves authentic middle Eastern food to stop by and check it out! Love the food and the people here!“

“It was my second time picking up food from Sam’s Gyro & Kebab, and once again it was amazing. The food was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious.
I highly recommend everyone in the Concord community to go and support this local, family-owned business. You can really taste the love and care they put into their food. Everything we tried was so good!

If you’re looking for healthy, tasty options, this is definitely a great spot to visit. Thank you to Sam’s Gyro & Kebab for the great service and delicious meals. I truly recommend it to everyone around Concord!“

“YUM!!! That’s all I have to say! I LOVE the food here! Healthy, tasty, and pricing is decent for the amount you receive (bowls).“

“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“

“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.“

“The pomegranate chicken… I’m sure on this earth there must be better chicken but I haven’t found it yet. Every childhood event, you’d open the tray and there would be the pomegranate chicken and the yellow rice. Nothing better. I was lucky then, and I’m luckier now that La Med is still here and is still so good! Tastes the same: perfect“
