50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Mill Valley

“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.“

“Welcome to heaven on earth. SF local and either best resturant I've ever been at or tied for first with Han Il Kwan II. Ridiculous quality and exceptional taste. Highly reccomend.“

“We ordered several for the table dishes. They were kind of on a small side. For the seafood platter, they did not bring us crackers. I read about them in the menu afterwards. I was very surprised because the platter had calamasalata spread. The pita bread was good.“

“Our dinner was great with terrific food and incredible service. We had an 18 month old with us and our server went out of her way to keep him occupied with crayons and straws. This restaurant is one of our favorites and lived up to its reputation.“

“Calamari was the best! Go and get it“

“What an amazing place. True quality, hospitality, and just an amazing taste.

Went to explore, 1000% Will be going back next week for another lunch.

Thank you guys at Ararat for a fantastic meal and a great half hour I spent there.“

“Kebabs were decent, not outstanding. The lamb kebab came with a good tahini-based sauce. The swordfish could have used a sauce as well. Vegetables included in the kebab plates were bland. Atmosphere is nice. Service was very good until the end when everyone became busy and disappeared and it took a long time to get our check.“

“Very nice cafe in a great location. The staff was super friendly and sometimes knew what our concerns were without saying it. The food and also the coffee were excellent. Unfortunately, during our time in San Francisco, we were only able to start the day there once.“

“Exceptional in every way. I’ve only ordered from them on door dash until this visit, it’s all delicious but the ambiance and broader selection is even better in-person. I loved the traditional and Romanian eggplant. Their coffee is amazing. And the usual dishes tasted even better when delivered fresh. But if you can’t make it to the restaurant, don’t hesitate to order on door dash. I was blown away by the food.“

“I love the taste of the food. Organic beef kebab rice bowl was die for it! Must try“

“Great food, service & outdoor seating!“

“Ready for the best Persian / Mediterranean food you’ve had in SF? Stop by Ricco’s and prepare to be blown away by this gem hidden in plain sight! This lovely family run restaurant just opened in the Marina and offers truly authentic Mediterranean flavors.

I’ve been to pretty much every middle eastern place in SF, and can promise you this is the best koobideh you’ll have. It is well seasoned, made fresh, with high quality meat and no fillers. Unlike other places, this only costs $22 and comes with buttery rice and seasonal vegetables. I can say that this is the best koobideh I’ve had in the US.

They also have an extensive menu that is truly Mediterranean in scope (covers the best of multiple places in the region). So there’s something for everyone. The appetizer combination plate has the best dolmeh and babaganoush I’ve had, and it’s served with freshly made soft bread.

The owner is so passionate and committed to you enjoying the food, and the ambience is exceptional. The Greek style paintings on the wall makes you feel like you’re sitting next to the Mediterranean Sea while eating your amazing food.

I can promise that this restaurant will surprise you in purely a positive way. Authentic food, fair prices, beautiful interior, family run, served with care. You can’t find anything better in the Bay“

Vegetarian options: Outstanding falafel, hummus and fattoush salad! So far this is the place we’ve found in downtown San Rafael for a vegan meal.“

“Kosher food generally requires some kind of rating buffer due to scarcity, but Hummus Bodega needs no such help. Absolutely amazing food, cannot recommend more highly. Amazing variety of dishes and high quality food at every step. Pita was amazing and fresh, hummus smoother than whipped cream, fries fresh and crisp. Shawarma, schnitzel, and fried cauliflower were all great as well. The staff is also incredibly patient, and artfully dealt with a loud individual who was demanding sabich but couldn't find it named on the menu.“

“We have lunch here today and it was delicious. Very generous portions and food was very fresh as it was made then and there. Would definitely come back here. Host was quite gracious as well.

We took chicken Kabobs platter, chicken shawarma and side of Falafel.“

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

“Can’t appreciate this place more! Every time I yearn for Mediterranean food Sumac has been my place. Home away from home. The food I eat reminds the food my grandma used to make back home in the Mediterranean. They are always adding more top-notch items on their menu. I tried most of the items on the menu, I even catered food for some of the events I organized; go for it you will never be disappointed!!!“

“The food was authentic and tasty. The atmosphere and decorations were special. The service was excellent. The waitress was attentive to us, very friendly, and gave us good recommendations of wine. The owner of this family-run business stopped by to greet during dinner and then, as we were leaving, she made sure Io courteously chat with us and wave us goodbye at the door. We'll definitely be back!“

“I have to give a huge shoutout to our server, Kubra. From the moment we sat down, she was attentive, friendly, and professional. Kubra made excellent recommendations from the menu, and she truly knew the dishes inside and out, which helped us make great choices. She was consistently checking in to make sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive, and her timing was impeccable throughout the meal. It felt like she genuinely cared about our dining experience. Kubra’s warm and welcoming demeanor made our visit so enjoyable, and her dedication to service is a credit to the restaurant. Highly recommend requesting Kubra if you want an exceptional dining experience!"“

“Great place for a date. Mediterranean food never disappoints, and Dunya takes it to another level.
I highly recommend the octopus and the salmon, they were greatly mastered.
The place is a bit noisy, but not to the point where you can't hear your guest.“

“I lived in the Middle East and what Mezze and Mooore offers is of the same high standard as the best restaurants in Beirut.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I got stuck waiting at the bus stop right outside here tonight. I was surprised a store was still open, but I’m glad it was because I got really yummy hot chocolate. Made waiting in the cold a lot more tolerable haha. Staff was great too and I loved the vibe of the place. Definitely want to come back for food.“

“I tried their falafel sandwich (wrap) and it was the best. My mom and friends tried both their chicken and beef shawarma and said they were so good.

My friends didn't like their tabula though and we were a little concerned about the cleanliness of the place.

Vegetarian options: Their falafel wrap is very tasty ?“

“Great food, great staff and an awesome ambiance. Highly recommended. I ordered the falafel sandwich, their falafel is to die for the sandwich is very tasty and juicy. I also got the chicken bowl it’s mouth watering. Besides all that I felt home, so welcomed. The place is super clean. 10/10 definitely visiting again.“

“Consistently delicious for decades“

“The food is amazing you should try their flafle. It’s amazing and staff super nice fellas“

“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.“

I have been all over the world and I have never been to a falafel place with better food and nicer staff than this place. Very much recomended.“

“What a gem! I grew up in Jordan and Beit Rima took me back to my childhood. The atmosphere, the food, the hospitality and the people truly reflect the Palestinian Culture! Samir was an incredible host and really takes pride in sharing his Palestinian heritage. Best Arabic food I've had in the US!“

“I came across this place during my recent visit to San Francisco. Their doner was amazing . Loved the special souse they used in their doner. Sigara boregi was amazing as well. Family owned operated business with friendly staff. I highly recommend. Thank you!“

“We have come here a few times and have loved every time!

Today though, I realized how much more I appreciate Lavash. We ordered takeout and the way they packaged the food was very throughout and organized. Food was delicious.

Will be ordering take out for big groups everytime!“

“Their wine list is impressive, atmosphere is sexy, and food is consistently excellent. They've added brunch on Fri, Sat, & Sun. Dinner recommend muhammara, brussel sprouts, lamb, & Aleppo potatoes. Brunch def try the burrata, steak + eggs, hazelnut french toast, and pouf pasty. Perfect spot for date night or girls brunch. Lovely heated parklets or inside comfy velvet seating.“

“We were served by a very nice Afghan guy, we didn't have to pay in advance, he helped us with everything. The gyros plate was very different from Hungary, it also had hummus, and the quantity was plentiful. When paying, he even reduced the price, then he didn't charge for the colas, and at the end we got a free box of very delicious dates as a gift.“
