24 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near West Hartford

“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.“

“I ordered the catering appetizer platter, pita and a side of grilled veggies for take out for a party. There was more than enough for the 20 guests and Everyone raved about the food. I loved that they called me the day before to confirm pick up and everything was ready to go when I arrived. They helped me carry platters into the car. The food is exceptional and the owners are really thoughtful. I've ordered single meals and it's just as good, but do try also for your next gathering. You, and your guests, will be glad you did!“

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

“I can't believe I'm just trying your food for the first time today.. everything is beyond delicious!! Grilled falafel platter, grilled veggies and chickpea salad, all fresh bright veggies, and ALL the flavors! Oh and the Greek coffee frappe so good:) I ordered delivery through Toast/Doordash but will definitely be stopping in with friends and family soon.“

“I had to run some errands in Plainville last night and by the time we finished, nobody felt like cooking. So I did what any tired mom of three would do and searched “quick dinner near me.” And wow… I am SO glad I did. We ended up at Mykonos Express and let me tell you, it is absolutely worth the 20–30 minute drive from Canton. We ordered the grilled platter to share with lemon potatoes and a side of fries. My family of FIVE ate until we were stuffed… and we still have leftovers. That alone deserves a standing ovation. The food was fresh, flavorful, and tasted homemade in the best way. The owner actually came out to check on us and then surprised us with rice pudding on the house. It was delicious and such a kind touch. You can really feel that it’s a small, family-run business that cares. Also, can we talk about cleanliness? The place was spotless. Even the restroom was super clean, which always says a lot to me. The lamb chops were incredible, the gyros were packed and flavorful, and I have to say… I usually make tzatziki from scratch at home and I’m picky about it. Theirs tasted like homemade. So, so good. And my three-year-old devoured the chicken souvlaki, which is basically the highest review possible. My husband said he’d go back tomorrow 😅 and honestly, I wouldn’t argue. If you’re in the Plainville area, or even if you’re a little further out and willing to make the drive, I highly recommend Mykonos Express. Fresh, generous portions, warm hospitality, and food that is truly worth it.“

“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!“

“Amazing food and great prices. I love to try different food and I happened to drive by here a day and decided to give it a try. Worth every penny. Now it’s one of my favorites. Service can be a little slow but order ahead of time and that solved my problem. Keep it up guys“

“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.“

“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.“

“It's hard to believe such incredible Mediterranean food comes from a food hall. It is genuinely worthy of a high end restaurant. The portions are very generous, especially for such great prices. The service is also excellent - attentive, friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be making this a must-stop for any Parkville visit!“

“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.“

“Came here for the first time last night. The man behind the counter was so kind and friendly! We spoke about the shop and after hearing it was my first time he gave me a free hummus to try. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!!!!!!! Hands down best Mediterranean in the area. I will be back!“

“ALL YOU VEGANS OR JUST ONES WHO LIKE TO EAT BETTER, YOU MUST TRY THE FALAFEL CRUNCH BOWL... AMAZING!!! AND DO NOT FORGET A SIDE ORDER OF THE ORIGINAL PITA CHIPS, THEY ARE WELL SEASONED AND SOFT!!!! OMG!!! MY OWN REVIEW MAKING ME GO BACK FOR ANOTHER ONE 🍜🍜🍜“

“Thanks to Soma Grille for working with my family to provide a specialized after funeral luncheon, allowing us to choose from food and drink options that matched our price range. The holiday atmosphere was peaceful and elegantly decorated. We felt comfortable with the time span provided in our private room where we could gather, eat, socialize, tell stories and celebrate my Mother without feeling rushed or interrupted by the general public. Their early evening Happy hour after was awesome too!“

“Food is amazing, everything on the menu is delicious“

“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.“

“We had our wedding here in January, and it was an amazing experience! The staff is very helpful and makes things run so smoothly. Food was amazing, and the bartending service was top-notch! Evette and Aida helped make the booking and experience very enjoyable!“

“I absolutely love this place never tried it till tonight the meat falls off the bone and the portions size is great this was all only 17 dollars and a size medium in lamb haneeth, worth the money will definitely get from here again! P.s. I did take a bite of this before taking the photo it comes full meat on the bone.“

“Pizza and wings were delicious!“

“Ever since I discovered Benny’s , I don’t go anywhere else for breakfast! The atmosphere is cute and cozy! The staff is friendly and the owner is always around making sure everything is done accordingly! Most importantly, the food is delicious!“

“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!😀“
