17 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near San Leandro

“The food and service was very good. Sweaty and the crew are great. Ordered Bademjan and Falafel for appetizers. For our entrees we had Rack of lamb and Mansaf. The portions are very generous. To end the meal we had Baklava M'hallabiah with Turkish coffee.“

“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.“

“Nick the Greek is always a spot that's fairly consistent across all of their locations (at least the ones I've been to). It was nice to be greeted when I walked in and the cashier had welcomed me in with a smile. It's been a while since someone welcomed me or my friends into a restaurant with a smile, so this was appreciated. This location also had plenty of seats and since I went during lunch, I could really sit anywhere.“

“Woah... I didn't know what I didn't know, but I learned what I had been missing out on! An incredible venue with the most gracious hosts and the finest vodka in all the world. ART everywhere, history and culture and friends and enjoyment abound. This is my new favorite place.“

“Go. To. Tarocco. You. Will. Love. It. Everything is healthy and delicious, but in an indulgent way that doesn't compromise on flavor. The owner could not be friendlier, or more welcoming and gracious. The chef clearly cooks with heart and soul and lots of experience. The atmosphere is sunny, inviting and beautiful. And the daily salads are always a home run. Because the salads are already composed, and you order at the counter, service is immediate. They also have delicious coffee and tea beverages, as well as a daily agua fresca and some really delicious-looking desserts (one a day). I'm vegan, and they have yet to offer vegan desserts, but they always have at least 3 vegan salads available. This is my go-to spot to bring out-of-towners or to go with a girlfriend for a lovely lunch in a beautiful environment. [NOTE: Only open for lunch on weekdays. Weekends and evenings, they're busy doing private events.]“

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

“Wow! The best chicken shawarma in years! Incredibly tasty and delicious chicken. The hummus was notably delicious - flavorful and rich. And the rice was perfectly seasoned and cooked well. Great assortment of Turkish delight desserts. I'll be going back soon for sure. Cool outdoor patio too.“

“I was invited by my friends for a get together for Christmas. We decided to come to Asena. It was my first time. I love the ambiance, the service. You will see the owner mingling with diners. I even had a picture with him. So love this place. Come and checktl this place out.“

The falafel is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, while the hummus is incredibly smooth and rich—some of the best you’ll ever have. Everything tastes fresh, healthy, and made with care.

“My wife and I came out from the Concord area to beat the inland heat and spend the day in Berkeley. We got hungry and decided to stop in here for lunch. The food was delicious!! I’m sad the fact the only picture I took I shared to my Instagram stories and don’t have a picture of my plate. But I had the beef kabob plate with, rice, salad, naan, and hummus. The beef was very tasty and tender. The rice was perfectly cooked and salad was fresh and crispy. My wife had the chicken kabob plate, which came with rice, salad, naan, hummus. The food portions were great and the price is amazing, and the staff is really friendly and welcoming. Great atmosphere to enjoy lunch. I’ll definitely be taking the drive from Concord again here in the near future. As this place is a winner every time.“
