16 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near San Leandro

“I love Mediterranean food, and sorely missed the Armenian Gourmet in Sunnyvale when Aram retired. However, Tio's has fulfilled my expectations for delicious food at a great price. I never liked falafal until I ate it at Tio's where it is moist and flavorful, compared to other restaurants where it is as dry as cardboard. I love the lamb and vegetarian sampler. The staff is friendly, helpful and remembers us by name. I have always been very happy with my whole experience there.“

“I had the chicken shawarma platter. Everything was amazing cooked to perfection. Service was immaculate. I’ve had some of the best shawarmas growing up in the Middle East and this comes very close. If I was close by I would definitely come back more often.“

“I've been a customer here for about 20 years. Still one of the best and most nutritious options in the area for breakfast and lunch. Today I had the lentil soup and lamb burger with a side salad. The lamb was perfectly seasoned, and everything was fresh. This place will always hold a place in my heart.“

“From the minute I walked through the door I was greeted by Tina Rhae with a big smile. There were a lot of great items to choose from and specials. I got a hibiscus iced tea and the linguisa sandwich. They were both delicious! They have plenty of indoor and outdoor tables so there was room to move around if you have a wheelchair. A perfect spot for large groups of people too.“

“The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was bursting with authentic Greek flavors. The ingredients were fresh, and the presentation was impeccable. The service was prompt and attentive, ensuring that my dining experience was smooth and enjoyable.

Whether you're craving a hearty gyro, fresh salad, or flavorful souvlaki, Nick the Greek delivers on all fronts. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a memorable and satisfying Greek meal. I'll definitely be returning soon!“

“Hidden gem for new parents. This place is awesome for lunch. They have a few dishes eat day and they change it up frequently. I’ve never gone and not wanted what I’ve seen - and I’m picky.

Great place to meet up on maternity leave.“

“This restaurant serving Azerbaijani cuisine is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food is exceptional — every dish, from the starters and salads to the main courses, is beautifully presented and bursts with authentic and unique flavor. Be sure to try the Khojaly lamb shank, kebabs, shah plov and dolma — you won’t find anything like them anywhere else in the Bay Area.

What truly sets Bistro 4293 apart is the owner, Anar. He’s a genuinely great guy with a wonderful sense of humor, plenty of engaging stories and a true passion for what he does.

He often stops by tables to chat with guests, making the dining experience feel more like a gathering among friends. It is obvious he loves his restaurant and is passionate about what he does.

This place offers one of the best dining experiences — and most importantly, best values — in the area. Can’t recommend it highly enough!“

“It’s a small establish but the food was fantastic. I had chicken kebabs, rice and hummus. Berkeley does have a good amount of wonderful places to eat and this one was really great. I’m glad I came here to eat and cannot wait to go again.“

“Great food and service. Nice decor“

“Exceptional all around. A more elegant menu than most restaurants in the area. The people seem to enjoy working there, so the service is friendly and accommodating in an unobtrusive way. The food quality and menu selection is excellent. If the weather is decent, try the patio! We did and it lent a casual elegance to the evening.“

“Nice atmosphere, pet friendly and delicious food and drinks.“

“This place is amazing. I just wish the sandwiches weren't all $20. They're worth it, but it's a treat yourself thing. The sisig bolilo was hard to finish for 2 people, because they're was just so much in it! Amazing cut of fatty meat chopped up with 2(i think) juicy eggs. Their veg sandwich is also amazing. A true testament to a good sandwich doesn't need meat“

“Great food and service! Special atmosphere“

“Great organic and delicious wraps burritos and plates thank you 😊“

“The food was top notch, but the counter woman was not the most kind. I said I was picking up an online order and she kind of threw it at me and didn't even give me a bag or say anything nice. Don't know if I'll be back, which is a shame because the food was good!“
