8 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Middletown

“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.“

“Very tasty food specially Chicken over Rice“

“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.“
