20 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Hartford

“Excellent fresh food and excellent fast service. The Turkish coffee was perfection, as was the falafel sandwich. I brought home all sorts of groceries and snacks. The overstuffed pistachio baklava was out of this world-best I ever had.“

“Amazing nice place and food delicious 🤤“

“You can't easily eat out for less than $20 unless you're getting franchise fast food. This is the main exception I've found so far. You can get a plate of tasty Mediterranean chicken, rice, vegetables, and sauce for 10 dollars flat. It's pretty good quality too. Just make sure to bring cash, because they don't take card. That's llikely how they keep the price so low.“

“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!😀“

“Delicious, flavorful, exotic looking Mediterranean dishes and great drinks. Would love to visit again:)“

“Zaytoon Lebanese Restaurant in West Hartford with Ty. My first experience with Turkish coffee and it was superb. It's strong just like New Orleans coffee and Right up my alley. Our server was attentive, courteous, and efficient. He had a smile and a pleasant personality and was very helpful with the ordering. The food was hot and delicious. The lamb was a gift from the Greek gods. It was tender and seasoned and most flavorful with no gamey aftertaste. Everything you would want from a Mediterranean/Lebanese restaurant.“

“Absolutely amazing! Didn’t take any pictures because the food looked so good and we started eating right away. We LOVED it and cannot wait to come back and try again. The service is great. The restaurant is casual but really beautifully decorated. Amazing halal spot!“

“The food is delicious. The restaurant is clean and the staff are very nice. The seating feels like being in a living room of a home in Middle East, cozy and welcoming. I just think that it would be best if the tables were a little higher and if they turn the TV on or play some music to break the silence because it doesn't feel like you can have private talk when it's dead silence. I suggest something like a soft music may be with a show of Middle East paysage.“

“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!“

“Edit November 2024: So after I visited them again, I am now determined, they are so good, I will make it a traditional stop every time traveling to Hartford....
Earlier October 2024: Visiting the area, Googled for a restaurant and found this one, well done, good food, delicious and a lot of choices.“

“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.“

“Hey Mike! The Branzino was amazing. Loved the sampler appetizer too. See yah soon!“

“Simsbury resident and frequent customer of nearly 5 years. Benny's is the place to go in simsbury. Complain all you want that its busy. It's busy because its worth the wait. If the owner reads this, the chicken cordon bleu omelet needs to be a permanent item on the menu. Thank you and the staff so much for the countless delicious meals!“

“Pizza and wings were delicious!“
