39 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Larkspur

“My fiancée and I adore this place. We visit wine country half a dozen times a year and always make a point to stop here. Everything is super fresh and delicious. A side salad with your choice of meat is more than enough. Grab a bottle of the crazy good rose and an extra dipping sauce for the Greek fries and you’ll be set.“

“Phenomenal experience! 🍷 🍽️ Wonderful food and cocktails! A must try while in the Presidio area!“

“Amazing place all the way around 🙌🏼“

“Service was most notable. Young lady answered all my questions and with extreme patience. Thank you. Food was quite different from what I am used to. However, flavors were great and everything we ordered had great flavors and provided an enjoyable dining experience.“

“I had lunch here on a Sunday, shortly after they opened up. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. I had hummus and chicken kabobs. The tabouleh was very good with lavash. The hummus was creamy and thick. The kabobs were tender, and served with delicious vegetables and rice. The hot sauce added a nice tang without too much heat. The interior is charming and has a sense of bright, dreamy relaxation. I’ll definitely be back.“

The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring we felt welcome and well taken care of. The ambiance was cozy yet elegant, making it a perfect spot for a memorable meal.

If you’re looking for amazing food and excellent service, I highly recommend Lokanta. I can’t wait to come back and try more from their menu!“

“Heathly food. The Shawarma wrap it's my favorite. I love it!!!“

“The great tasting fresh healthy food made with love by this small business is all you could ask of it. Everything costs a fortune these days but at least your happy and full when you finish here. And to the owners, please keep up the great work, thanks!“

“Quick and friendly service. There are clearly marked vegetarian items as well as options to be made vegan. The food is high quality and the falafel is so delicious. The portions are also on the larger end. Thank you for a nourishing and satisfying meal.“

“Exceptional flavors and ingredient combinations. Beautiful atmosphere, great staff, and excellent prices. I am only in San Francisco for 4 days and I might come back a second time because the food was so great. Well worth the visit!!!!!“

“Super yummy hummus plates, falafel, kebabs and salads. Found this gem while on a walk in China town. Not easy to find, but once you know where to find it you will come back again and again. Sooooo good.“

“I’d been trying to find a place that sold Dubai chocolate bars in San Francisco and finally found it at Cafe Elena! Their Dubai chocolate bar is awesome! Dark chocolate, pistachio filling, not too sweet. Family-owned business, wife makes the chocolate bars, super friendly owner.“

“This restaurant was an absolute find. Conveniently located next to the Hyatt hotel and the Ferry building, it’s a great stop for a delightful dinner. The menu has some delicious finds and the atmosphere is warm and cozy. This is a very romantic place for date night or a nice place to have dinner with some friends“

“Perfect spot for a quick lunch. I first tried the food from Sajj in San Mateo. It was a "regular" lunch place for many at my office. Now that I occasionally work in SF, I was please to find a Sajj just a block away. Love that the food is fresh and bonus that it is full of flavor. I take advantage of ordering ahead and picking up on my schedule.“

“Great food lovely location“

“Perfect place for a date night. It is usually packed but we love sitting at the bar. The food is delicious. We usually get the mezze platter and octopus. We’ve also tried the kunefe (small but really yummy). We love the atmosphere here as the bartender and waiters are super nice and they generally leave us to ourselves (a refreshing change from most American places where you get interrupted quite a lot). The decoration is beautiful too. All in all: I definitely recommend Dunya.“

“Love this new waterfront dining option close to the Ferry Bldg. Will definitely come back. We had: Dips with flatbread, saganaki (unique spin), rice, fish, veggies, cheesecake (excellent). We liked every dish. Restaurant was quiet (Monday evening). Dining on back patio had a pretty bay view.“

“I smelled it before I got there no always looking for “the right food cooked by the right people!” I had a bowl with chicken which I could cut with a the plastic spoon 😍 with rice and lentils very flavorful too with the Israel salad all that flavor in one bowl was the best by far! My friend who’s vegan was very satisfied had a falafel bowl which she started eating as we walked down the street! She had smashed it by the time we made to the tables at Union Square. The food delicious the portions huge and the price right! On another note when we arrived they were out of rice and of course they made me some fresh very much appreciated ❤️“

“Octopus was very very delicious“

“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.“

“It was our first time and the service was amazing. Our dinner was more than excellent, the grilled pork chops with sweet potato puree best ever tasted. Great selection in red wine and great atmosphere! Owners were there and were very welcoming and down to earth! 100% recommended“

“My wife, son and myself went to dinner tonight and food was absolutely amazing. Staff were polite and friendly and full of enthusiasm about the food. The braised lamb shank melted in your mouth and the greek salad was so refreshing and the tomatoes were so fresh that I felt I was in a garden picking them myself. The green hummus was full of fresh herbs and I didn't know what to expect but luckily the owner brought a complimentary plate out because I was so full from all the food we got that I felt guilty for not being able to finish it.“

“Authentic fare at a great place. The food was delicious and the wine selection. superb. Wait staff was attentive but unobtrusive. We ate outside but were impressed by the interior: cozy seating with fun decor. This will become a local go-to place for us. Also found that they have a spacious area in the rear for private events.“

“Ayola holds a special place in my heart. I used to frequent Ayola at least once a week when I worked in San Francisco. I work outside of San Francisco now, so it's not as easy for me to come get my fix. I still haven't found another place that tastes as good or better Greek/Mediterranean food.

My favorite is their Chicken Gyro, and their fries are just as amazing. Pairing it with their hot sauce is phenomenal!

On the floor level, there's a few tables to sit down if you wish to dine in, and there's a few spots to sit on the upper level as well, but it's a pretty tiny shop.

The owners are super friendly and are always happy to see their customers!“

“If I don't know where to eat I go.to souvla. The alvogmenon? Soup is my go to if I don't know what to eat or don't know what I'm doing with my life. The protein from the yogurt and the low sugar content and offerings of salt olive oil, and honey are just essential for the body and so good for you it's something you can eat any time for any reason. I also love the decor, the owner has such a vision. And the New York coffee cups? Iconic. Love this place so much“

“My husband, myself and some neighbors walked over last night and celebrated a birthday with some drinks. One employee didn't seem stoked that it was busy but our waitress Christina was absolutely wonderful. Attentive, friendly and made me want to go back just to hang out with her! If you like gin the Crushed Velvet cocktail hit the spot.“

“TLDR: huge plate of quality Mediterranean food for under $15 in the FiDi!

I came here ordering takeout and the plates averaged around $13. I got the mixed combo plate and though it didn’t come with rice, it came with beef and chicken, hummus, salad, bread, falafel and dolma which were all great! Service was friendly, food came out quickly and I even got some hot sauce with my dips! Would definitely come back“

“Great drinks, food, and ambiance! Food was so fresh and delicious. We had salads and a pizza. The crust was light, crispy, and chewy. The toppings were flavorful and just the right amount. We didn’t have the pasta, but it looked amazing.

It was so good that we even stopped back the next night for a nightcap and to watch the end of the Warriors game. Both of our servers/bartenders were wonderful.

We missed it while driving by because their sign is smaller and on their awning. It’s not lit like the one next door, so we didn’t know they were a separate establishment until we walked by.

If you’re thinking about it, go! You won’t be disappointed.“

“Such a great experience eating at this restaurant. The service was top notch and the pizza was to die for.“

“We came 2 family’s party of 8, with kids and were warmly welcomed. The host quickly set us up with a large table. The music was beautiful, and the atmosphere was wonderful. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious! We’ll definitely be back.
And the price was amazing!!
Thank you!“

“Total hidden gem in SF. It’s low key and does take out only, but don’t let that fool you, this place rivals SF’s finest establishments. I moved in a few blocks down the street and have been ordering take out almost every day as I unpack. I’ve tried the chicken hummus plate, meatball and rice plate, and the Beyran Soup. Literally each dish was 5/5 amazing. The soup was the best soup I’ve ever had in my life. Super rich flavor, but not overly salty. Just right. Honestly these folks should turn into a full fledged restaurant.“

“Great addition to our neighborhood. A step above most restaurants here in atmosphere, vibe, food, and service. Duzgun the manager provides attention to detail, and Berry provides excellent service with a genuine smile every time we visit. Recommended!“

“We love this place. It’s my one stop shop“

“Loved the ceviche dish! Location is prime Insta spot in the Ferry Station Building.“

“Clean, quiet, nice area. I like European cuisine (Cyprus, Greece, Poland, Ukraine, Germany) - I can say that it's not bad for pork without marinade, but it's not Greek souvlaki - just portioned pork on a skewer. French fries want to be better (dry). An acquired taste. I wish to listen to the comments and make the food more colorful and traditional.“

“I recently had the pleasure of trying the falafel at Nick the Greek, and it was nothing short of amazing! From the first bite, I was blown away by the perfect blend of spices and the crispy texture on the outside, while remaining soft and flavorful inside. The freshness of the ingredients really stood out, making it clear that they prioritize quality.

The falafel was served with a delicious tahini sauce that complemented the dish beautifully, adding a creamy richness that elevated the entire experience. I also appreciated the generous portion size—definitely a great value for the price!

The atmosphere of the restaurant was inviting, and the staff were friendly and attentive. If you're a fan of Mediterranean cuisine or just looking to try some fantastic falafel, I highly recommend Nick the Greek. I can't wait to come back and enjoy it again!“

“Great location and the pizza was nice and hot- they also have a huge selection of menu items and i will definitely return!“
