10 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Newport Beach

“This place is a hidden gem! The food is affordable and delicious with good portions. But what stood out the most was the staff, they’re very friendly. I accidentally ordered Tzatziki Salad when I meant Tabbouleh and they gave me a portion anyway. Just very kind family owned vibes here. Would definitely recommend!“

“Very nice outdoor seating, great food, music. Nice place and close your o the surrounding neighborhoods!“

“Fresh & Delicious !! I'm from out of town and picked the Right place ! 😃“

“This is the find of the decade! Virtually hidden on a tiny street adjacent to the Coast Highway, the eclectic, artistic interior is as welcoming as the attentive and super friendly staff. Indoor and outdoor dining options, comfy furniture, a hip buzzy adjacent bar lets you know immediately you are in for a uniquely Newport Beach experience that you won’t want to leave. But all of this is nothing compared to the cuisine. The wide variety of ostensibly Middle Eastern menu items are comprehensive to meet virtually any dietary needs from vegan to Ketovore, but the competency across the board is astounding!! Lentil soup, yellow veggie curry, kabob, steak Diane - everything shines on its own merit. I planned to have one of the divine sounding desserts but alas, the portions were so generous that we had to take a rain check. Here’s hoping for a downpour!“

“Best Tacos in Town! Love this place for tacos and burritos!“

“Anybody near hoag Newport needs to go here. We started with the combination plate and the samosas, marinated olives and baba ganoush were the standouts of the plate. The dolmas were served warm and were cooked very well. I really like my beef koobideh kebab as it was so juicy and tender it fell apart. The interesting one was the Iskender kebab. The sauce was very fresh. Excited to go back“

“It's a rare treat to discover a dining experience in Newport that truly stands out, but this spot exceeds all expectations. The combination of exceptional food, impeccable service, vibrant entertainment, and an inviting ambiance makes every visit a genuine delight--one you'll want to relive time and time again. The Honey Lamb? An absolute masterpiece--10/10!“

“Finally tried this place after so many people were raving about their food and it's so close to me too so I should've been going more often. The food was delicious and I can't point out one thing that was my favorite because it was all good. Their famous fries that everyone talks about was yummy, the chicken was cooked nicely, even their simple greek salad was good. I would definitely come here again, the menu was simple and the food was perfect to satisfy your Greek cravings.“

“OMG, this place is so great. It only has about 10 tables in the front with a nice Italian feel. The food is amazing, my son and I had the spaghetti boganese. My wife had the lobster ravioli and my daughter had the salmon pasta. All the dishes were so good. The meal is saved with bread and butter. The house wine was delicious as well.“
