50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Saratoga

“Wow! My new all-time favorite Mediterranean restaurant. As soon as you walk in the aromas from the kitchen are just astonishing. The space is warm and welcoming. Even on the Wednesday after Thanksgiving, it was filled with happy people sitting at the bar and tables eating and enjoying camaraderie. Since it was my first time, I ordered the six side dish sampler and every single one was phenomenal. The hummus is a garlicky herbed slice of heaven. The baba ghanoush is without a doubt the best I have ever tasted. Then there was an eggplant dish with maple syrup and pomegranate seeds that just explodes with deliciousness. I had the beet salad with goat cheese and it's just delightful. Since I was alone, I was limited as to how many items I could try, but I cannot wait to come back with my family and order up a storm! Thank you Tamra Mediterranean grill for a truly exceptional dining experience.“

“The best Food Truck!! We got the brisket burger and the fries with all the toppings and it was amazing. 3 year old got the chicken nuggets, normally very picky and will only eat a few bites, she LOVED them and ate them all! The handmade lemonade was perfectly sweet. We got the strawberry and the peach flavors. Loved them so much I booked them for a work event and they were a HUGE hit! Thank you for great service“

“Just went here for lunch with a group of friends and it was outstanding! The food was superb, the owners/servers super friendly, and the space is very airy and inviting for such a small restaurant. One of my friends ordered almost everything on the menu for the table, and there wasn’t a bad bite on the table. Standouts included the falafel, lamb shawarma, whole fried cauliflower, and the mansaf. Tea and baklava were also delectable. I’m super excited to come back and try the few remaining things on the menu I didn’t get to sample!“

“I recommend them for their hospitality, great food and service. Quick to serve!“

“Very good Turkisk food, great outdoor seating front and back, and always friendly staff. State St. has some of the best restaurants in beautiful Los Altos!“

“Best food and service we have had since pre Covid!! Very refreshing experience!!! Will definitely come back!“

“It was not just the food which is delicious btw, but the experience that you get by visiting this small restaurant. They have small Bosnian antique corner which holds many stories. You can just feel the love they have for their food and culture. Staff and owner were extremely friendly . I highly recommend“

“What a freaking gem. This spot gives off serious LA or NYC vibes right in the heart of downtown SJ. The decor alone deserves a shoutout: stunning tall ceilings, gorgeous wood and metal accents, natural tones, and even a couple of olive tree centerpieces that ties it all together in a sleek, contemporary way. If you need a date night spot, try to lock in a reservation here.

The elevator bar is probably one of the most unique features I've ever seen, shuttling bottles of liquor from the downstairs bar to the loft bar. The loft area wasn't open yet, but I could already picture it being the perfect place to pre-game and soak in the energy from the restaurant below.

The food is dialed in. New American with a Mediterranean twist. The open kitchen concept is a nice touch, letting you watch your dishes as they're being prepared. Highly recommend ordering family style to share. The octopus is an absolute must--tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The lobster pasta was decadent - pricey, but you get huge chunks of lobster that makes it worthwhile. We also ordered the monster ribeye topped with some insane butter, cooked medium rare. If you have a group of 4 or more, do it.

The drinks were fantastic, though more subdued in flavor compared to their other concepts like Paper Plane or Mini Boss. I'd recommend dinner at Eos & Nyx, then cap off the night with a cocktail at one of their other bars.

This is a game-changer for downtown SJ. It really reminded me of Bavel in downtown LA, one of my favorite restaurants ever. Excited to see this place finally open!“

“great place and nice food“

“Welcoming atmosphere, very kind staff, and wonderful food!“

“Excellent food, drinks and service.“

“Here’s a suggested review you could post:

"I recently tried the burger at Pizza +, and it was fantastic! The patty was juicy, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor, and the toppings complemented it perfectly. I wasn’t expecting such a great burger from a pizza place, but they truly delivered. Highly recommend giving it a try if you're in the area!"“

“I recently had the pleasure of trying the kebab here, and I must say, it was exceptional! The kebab was incredibly juicy and fresh, bursting with flavor. Every bite was a delight. The quality of the ingredients really stood out, and the seasoning was spot on. I'll definitely be back again for more! Highly recommended for anyone craving a delicious kebab.“

“I’m not usually that kind of person that likes to leave reviews!! But this place is awesome �!! Great food, clean place, third time here and will definitely come back whenever I’m in the area .“

“What a gem and food was so generous and good quality! Owner Jonathan and staff are amazing! Treat you like family even tho it was my first visit. Offered to let me try so many small sides on the house just so I could try more items on the menu. If eaten immediately at the restaurant, everything was crispy and seasoned perfectly, not greasy at all. Will be back and definitely recommending to friends.

Businesses like this is what make the bay amazing!“

“We have ordered only twice so far. The Greek salad is spectacularly good, as was the Adana wrap; and we enjoyed the Vegetarian Combo. The shawarma chicken on the Greek salad with chicken item was tough and chewy; and had little flavor, as if it had been left over from a day or two ago--most disappointing as I had read reviews praising it.“

“I feel bad because I haven’t done this sooner. I can finally remember Larry’s name. I am writing this review over “some time” vs a one-off experience. It wasn’t until my most recent experience where I began to think “could Larry be the owner” of this store? I wasn’t sure if this was a chain or not, I just love the cuisine. I must say, when I come to this store, I used to say “I wonder if my friend is there today” when i can now say “I wonder if Larry is there?” As a small business owner, I know value! And if I could afford Larry, I would hire him! I know the max is a five star review, but I’ve always felt Larry deserved every bit of a higher score. For those who have ever gone into an establishment and felt expertise that was underpriced vs. the service level given, you’d know what I mean. Major salute to Larry, and I hope Sajj recognizes you in the for your VALUED efforts.“

“Food was good. Could have been a little better. The falafels were crunchy and a little hard to cut. The plastic forks were bending. But it still tasted good.“

“I like the food. I would be a more frequent customer if they brought back the free Baba Ganoush coupons they used to offer with order.“

“Absolutely exquisite food that comes out fresh. Service was amazing & the people even though busy were very very helpful. Can't recommend this place & food enough.“

“good food and helpful service“

“Great food. Quick. Friendly staff. Convenient location.“

“Our Daughter works here & we were delighted to check it out! Enjoyed The Breaded Chicken Sandwich, with fries in it. Juicy & tasty fresh chicken Schnitzel along with Fatoush Salad, Warm apple cider & Turkish Coffee to wash it all down….Good Stuff!!!“

“We booked a large group meeting (20 people) that grew to 28 people. The team handled the change quickly and we never really had any delays. I felt bad that the server didn't have much help but she did a great job and I really appreciated her hard work. Food was good as always, especially the steak skewers appetizers. Many got the large steak and said it was so good. Thanks for allowing us to have our group dinner there - we had a great time and look forward to the next time!“

“every one have to come and test the food.I highly recommended the Halal express Kebabs.customer service is great. I really like the food.“

“Asma is incredibly passionate about what she makes and has impressive attention to detail! Not only does she make incredibly tasty food, she cares about presentation. She’s also extremely collaborative and an excellent communicator! I put my entire trust in her and she exceeded all expectations! She’s a gem and her service is top-notch!“

“Everything was delicious! Will definitely be back“

“The best Israeli Shawarma in the Bay Area.CA“

“This place is very affordable and the food is delicious. We always like to come here with our friends and sometimes we have to be quick otherwise all tables are full! What I would improve, and I've been thinking about this every time I come here, is definitely the ACOUSTICS! Every time the sound is very lous and you can barely hear the next person talking! Especially when it's full. I would recommend some wall acoustic panels for the TV wall. There are nowadays very modern and affordable solutions for acoustic paneling.“

“Excellent meal was had at this restaurant. Service was very good, food was great, portions were generous. Have to go highly recommend.“

“It was a great experience. Delicious food made from fresh ingredients! The preparation was quick. I’m usually quite picky about food in restaurants and only leave a review when I’m genuinely impressed. I recommend it! By the way, I ordered the Super Duper wrap, and it was amazing!“

“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.“

“Great veggie burger. Will go back.“

“Best Sabich!!! Their Pita taste good!!! Staff are polite. Quick service!“

“This is a Delectable Mediterranean Restaurant! What can I say but TAMMAM!!! After a Sumptuous Meal on this Mother’s Day Sunday Evening!“

“Everything! It's a flawless dining experience.“

“TabarakAllah the food here was just like HOME!! It was so delicious I can’t wait to go back again. You know it’s authentic when you see all the Auntie’s working hard to cook the food for everyone. You get a lot of food for a great price!! Definitely a great place to eat!“

“Very solid mediterranean spot if you’re craving something refreshing and hearty at the same time. This place hits all the notes, every ingredient tasted as fresh as can be, and the great part about Persian mediterranean food is how the meat is prepared. There’s no masking any of the flavors with an abundance of spice, just cooked to perfection, tender, and well worth the wait. Will be returning here.“

“Absolutely delicious food“

“Authentic and delicious. Friendly staff.“

“I recently took my mom to Stone Stew Restaurant, and we had such a wonderful experience. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we felt welcome and comfortable throughout our meal.

The food was absolutely delicious — beautifully presented and full of flavor. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and put a lot of care into every dish. My mom especially enjoyed the ambiance, and we both left with full stomachs and big smiles.

If you’re looking for a great place to enjoy a relaxing meal with loved ones, I highly recommend Stone To. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Delicious food & Great service? Apparently it's pretty difficult to find delicious food with good service, not anymore. As our cycling finished with the Sports Basement crew & a couple of us went to World Wraps for the first time. And, let me say, the food was really gooooood. Shout out to the cook for the amazing Argentina Chimichurri meal (bowl) and the presentation. And to Brandon, thanks for your input, patience and positive attitude. Appreciate you taking a extra minute to explain the menu and the specialty drinks.

We will be back... Next time I'll post a picture of our meal. ✌️“

“Been going for over 12 yrs . Good Gyros“

“Las pizzas están bien ricas“

“Love Souvlaki Greek Skewers!!! I’ve been coming here since they originally opened! Great staff, family owned and run with pride!“

“Great foood. Great service. Will go back. First time visit.“

“Old school…throughout these years, still great food all the time!“

“Fantastic experience and absolutely amazing food! Carla our server did an incredible job recommending certain options. We tried pita falafel sandwich, Mahmara dip with chips and then gluten free chcolate mousse along with handmade baklava for desserts. Great food and authentic food, we will be back for sure!!“

“The 365 is best described as a Greek heavy Mediterranean deli. Gyro and falafel are the mainstays, but there is more. Portions are good sized. The sauces are very tasty. The tzatziki is some of the best I’ve had.“
