50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Saratoga

“One of the best smash burgers we have had. Enjoyed dinner with Redwood Cafe while at Wilkerson Farms. The gentleman that was cooking knows how to make an excellent burger and frys. His service was top notch. I would highly recommend to anyone that come across his food truck to stop and give it a try. You will not regret it. 10/10“

“Iraklis Restaurant is a nice casual spot in Santa Clara for Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food, especially if you like shawarma, grilled meats, fresh sides, and strong garlic flavors. The dining room is fairly small, but it has a cozy, colorful feel, and the staff are generally friendly and helpful if you are not familiar with some of the dishes.

The Damascus-style shawarma is probably the most interesting thing to try. The chicken version comes with garlic spread, pickles, Syrian-style seasoning, and a little pomegranate molasses, which gives it a sweet-tangy flavor. The lamb shawarma is also popular, and the plates come with rice, hummus, salad, pickled turnips, and tahini. Other good choices include beef kofta, shish tawook, falafel, lentil soup, baba ghanouj, kibbeh, and zaatar or cheese manakeesh.

I also like that they have a few items you do not see everywhere, such as Armenian sujuk sandwiches and Turkish desserts like baklava and Turkish delight. The food usually comes out fairly quickly, which makes it a good option for lunch or a casual dinner.

The main downside is that some people feel the portions can be inconsistent for the price, and a few dishes seem to vary depending on the day. Still, the menu has plenty of variety and the flavors are more interesting than a typical fast-casual Mediterranean place.“

“Absolutely the BEST food and service at Eurogrill! From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed like family. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always makes sure everything is perfect. The food is outstanding, fresh, flavorful, and made with real Balkan tradition. The Ćevapi (house specialty) are simply the best I’ve ever had! Perfectly seasoned, juicy, and grilled to perfection. You can truly taste the quality and authenticity in every bite. If you’re looking for amazing Balkan food and top-notch service, Eurogrill is the place to go. Highly recommend! I will definitely be coming back again and again. 👏🔥 Ketering was perfectly arranged!“

“Quality authentic Turkish food. We have been here a few times and it’s one of our favorites in Los Altos. The serving sizes are nice and the owner, I believe, is kind and always checks up on us and adds nice little touches like complimentary tea when it’s slow. The seating is nice and great for couples, families, and eating alone. The restaurant is clean and has a cozy ambiance.“

“Food was flavorful and fresh. I ordered with a person instead of the kiosk since it was my first time there. It was easy to order from their menu and take out what I didn't want and they have lots of options. There was plenty of seating inside but it was too cold even with a sweater so we sat outside but I will definitely return for the food.“

“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.“
