11 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Glastonbury

“I'm so glad my boyfriend made me go here. I thought it would be just like any walk in restaurant with mediocre food but I was so wrong! I’m an extremely picky eater and absolutely loved everything we got. This is also the first place I’ve been in a long time that actually had good salmon. They’re homemade dressing and marinate is so unique we went back in to buy a bottle after trying it with the complimentary salad we were given. 10/10 would go again!“

“The food you get here is made with love and care. Amazing pizza, pasta dishes to die for, and delicious entrees complement the most amazing service. If you ever need a “home cooked meal” come dine in and leave warm and satisfied. A top 5 gem restaurant in all of Glastonbury.“

“A warm atmosphere with excellent service and amazing food!!! We happened to be passing by and so glad we stopped in. We were in awe with the entire experience. The food is delicious, healthy, and left you satisfied with each and every bite. I will even consider driving down from Mystic, CT (1 hour) on a consistent bases to dine in. Thank you!“

“Pizza and wings were delicious!“

“Parsley in Middletown is a go-to for fresh, flavorful Mediterranean food. From crispy falafel and juicy shawarma to vibrant salads and homemade sauces, every bite is satisfying and made with care. The Family Mixed Grill is a highlight—perfect for sharing, it comes piled with tender shish kebab, chicken and lamb kebabs, and perfectly grilled lamb chops. Generous portions and bold seasoning make it a must-try. Don’t skip dessert—the homemade kunafa is warm, gooey, and deliciously crisp. Pair it with their baklava or ma’amoul cookies for a sweet finish. For a more relaxed experience, head to the cozy second-floor dining room—great for enjoying your meal in a quieter setting. Friendly service and consistently great food make Parsley a true gem on Main Street.“

“Last week, while I was in London for work, I stopped by Shah’s Halal Food. I usually avoid fast food or shawarma spots because of my strict diet, but I chose this place for two reasons: they serve halal food, and during a snowstorm it was the closest option available. I’m really glad I did it turned out to be a great experience. I ordered the Chicken Salad Bowl with grilled chicken chunks, cucumbers, lettuce, chickpeas, hummus, and a variety of flavorful sauces. It was perfect for my no-carb diet and everything was fresh, tasty, and very satisfying. I’d definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a halal, nutritious, and budget-friendly meal. The staff were also incredibly polite and welcoming.“

“Amazing nice place and food delicious 🤤“

“Great Halal food options... chicken over rice, lamb over rice, or combo. Gyros, fried fish, different sandwiches, and drinks available. Only downside I'd say is the fact it's smack dab in the middle of downtown. Otherwise, it's a spectacular deal for the current times.“

“They consistently give us great food! One of the local go-tos!“

“I highly recommend Aladdin Halal! Not only did the chef's go out of their way to make sure my vegan needs were taken care of....they didn't make me feel like I was an inconvenience! The food has been OUTSTANDING! Great team, fantastic atmosphere and every time I come to Connecticut I will eat here! Thank you!😀“
