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!“

“Excellent Little Restaurant in Newport Beach. I had the Ground Beef and Ground Chicken Kabob. Was Awesome. Their Garlic Sauce they served with my meal was really good. The folks in here were super friendly. Thank you for a great experience and meal.“

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

“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“

“Small place cooking Mediterranean food which was both affordable and quite good in taste. Kind of fast food restaurant that you are pleased to discover.I personally recommend this pace.Quality of ingredients: 4*Taste: 5*Ambiance: 4*Service: 4*Price/quality ratio: 5*“

“If you’re looking for a truly authentic Moroccan experience, this is the place! We went for the meal plan, which included flavorful appetizers, a perfectly cooked plat principal of couscous with tender beef, and the most delicious baklava for dessert. Every bite tasted like it was made with love and tradition. The atmosphere transported us straight to Morocco—the décor, the music, the warmth—it all felt magical. The food was so good that I had to kiss the chef, Myriam! I’ll definitely be coming back for the crème brûlée and, of course, to enjoy the belly dance show. A feast for all the senses!“

“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.“

“We showed up close to closing and the staff had all went home, the Owner kindly seated us, waited on us, cooked for us and wow did he cook 🔥 Amazing food and the vibes were just as good. I really enjoyed this dinner with my family, will be a happy memory for the books. Chicken Parmesan was our favorite and the ceaser salad was legit. TYSM 5 ⭐️s all day 💣 dot com“
