38 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Jacksonville

“Absolutely love Blue San Marco. The whole meal no matter if it’s dinner, lunch, or pastries is phenomenal every time! The entire staff are so friendly and welcoming. We love dining there as much as we can!! Thank you Blue!“

“We were looking for a place to have Brunch and a lady outside of the restaurant gave us a Menu and invited us to enter. She took care of us and recommended The Scallops, the huevos rancheros, and the ribeye, we really enjoyed a wonderful meal, the atmosphere and the kind waitress. We can not wait to try other dishes“

“Great food and amazing staff! I had the falafel, mujadarra, yellow rice (wow) hummus and Laban. I would love to see beef kabob not just chicken but they will make you homemade grape leaves in bulk if you order them 2 days ahead. I would also love to see “kibbeh” Lebanese style of course.“

“Amazing food!! Catered for my 1 year old daughter's birthday and all my guests didn't stop complementing the food. Meat is very tender and great flavor. Very easy to order and very professional to work with. Will be ordering again!“

“Chef Mike took the time out of his busy schedule to accommodate a business birthday lunch. He gave us his personal cell phone number for the group to submit their individual orders. After sending the message with over 18 orders, 15 of them being dine-ins, he called back to go over each order individually. He made sure all of the order were right and with all of the specifics. I've never experienced this in the 20+ years of dining out. The food was beautifully presented and ready almost as soon as we arrived. We will definitely use this amazing restaurant and cafe the next time we do a business event. Thank you Mike and your staff for the above and beyond experience!“

“Run, don’t walk to Noura Cafe! The food is AMAZING and authentic, and Raymond and his team are just wonderful humans! We will be going again before leaving Florida! Try the Turkish Coffee. You won’t be disappointed with ANYTHING!“

“My wife and I went to this restaurant, because we wanted to try it out. Let me tell you, it didn't disappoint. The food was absolutely delicious, and tasty. The service was great...very friendly. If you want great food and service we highly recommend Kofta cuisine.“

“My husband and I have come to love this location. We always get the chicken bowls with super greens and they have really great toppings….some of our favorites are the cucumbers and tomatoes, fiery broccoli, roasted corn and red pepper hummus. We have to give a big praise to Haily Dove who was so friendly and sweet and even uploaded my receipt to their app for rewards after I forgot to do so and had already been seated. She was great!“

“Delicious food served with a smile. Definitely coming back here soon“

“YES, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BODRUM MEDITERRANEAN KITCHEN!!! 😁 Our team was TDY at JAX and decided to go for some Mediterranean food. This place is a hidden gem it seems as only a few people were eating in but we did notice a lot of to-go orders... We were seated in a cozy area of the restaurant by a window. Our dinner experience was like having a family meal where the meal was sooo good everyone stopped talking because all of us were too busy enjoying our food. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. This is by far the best Mediterranean restaurant I have dined at. Will definitely come back when we are back in the area again.“

“Good food no matter what you get! Great service and most meals come with a drink!! I think we come here 2 to 3 times weekly!! Update 2025. I don't get to come as often as I used to, but the service and the smile, and the fooooood!!!! Anything you order is guaranteed to be fresh and delicious.. I noticed newer items on the menu, next visit, I'm trying one of them!!“

“Always love their cuisine! My favorite sweet tea and hummus of all time :)“

“The food is amazing. I just had a build.hour own grilled shrimp plate. so good. Their gyro 365 sauce is amazing and on point mixed with the yogurt“

“The food was absolutely amazing, however, there are new employees and some of them speak NO English, which is fine, but they are taking orders and we cannot communicate because of the language barrier. It’s frustrating, especially if I’m in a rush. Give them jobs, but don’t put them in the front of the line when they can’t communicate with people who don’t speak Spanish.“

“The best restaurant in Florida“

“I visited this hookah lounge on Saturday with my friend, and we had an incredible experience! The ambiance was perfect—relaxing, stylish, and inviting. Our server, Arsi, was absolutely amazing! He was attentive, friendly, and ensured we had everything we needed to enjoy our evening.
The hookah flavors were top-notch, smooth, and long-lasting, and the overall service was impeccable. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great spot to unwind with friends. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Best ćevapi in Jacksonville!! I recommend it to everyone who wants to try their food . Very clean and friendly Owner!“

“The food was excellent, i definitely recommend, and will be back!!“

“Ole Baba — Specialty Food Delivery The food was fabulous, let me rephrase it ...., the food is fabulous I still have a leftovers. I love your cooking !!! I'm so glad God lead me to you and your family. So far I never have been disappointed, and everyone who ate over here in my house as well , they are so satisfied with your cooking. We love the potatoes and then meet and the rice of course as well ..., and the dessert - baklava I know it's made by hand personal touch, it's very fresh and very tasty, it just beautifully finishes the experience of dinner. I rather to order your food - truly cooked with love and care, and with true culinary art of balance of spices and herbs, than any other food in the market ... Thank you so much for all your beautiful heart you're putting into the food , you can taste your love in this food as you eat it. Be blessed, you and all your family and your business . ** This is NOT your fast food restaurant, all the food is prepared to the order (that means the chef is starting to cook from the scratch as soon the order is confirmed ) from fresh quality ingredients. This is why it will take much longer to receive this food... If you're in a big hurry and you want to have a fast food, do yourself a favor and order a burger from fast food joint.“

“This was a hidden gem and a great find. Since all of the affordable river view eateries have been bulldozed, I was looking for a new place to eat near downtown. It's not downtown enough, but worth the drive. It's inside a nondescript office building, but there's free parking and public access to it and the bathrooms. It looks like boats may even be able to dock down the hill,as there are stairs accessing it from the riverfront. It's counter order style, simple lunch foods, and they close by 3 pm. I had an Italian panini and my friends enjoyed the turkey sandwich.“

“Thanks to our attentive and knowledgeable waiter, Sebastien we had a wonderful experience. The service, drinks and ambience were exemplary, and the food was quite good. The salmon was delicious, but the branzino was slightly overcooked. The dessert was unbelievably delicious! Overall, the flavors were tasty and we will definitely be back.“

“Absolutely amazing. Freshly prepared and flavorful!! We will be back!!!“

“El personal que trabaja ahí muy amable yo no hablo inglés pero la muchacha que me atendió puso su mayor esfuerzo y asta hablo un poquito de español la atención al cliente es muy rápida se los recomiendo precios muy buenos“

“I cannot comprehend how amazing this place was!!! The food was really good compared to the other restaurants around Jacksonville! I would definitely recommend this place to other people and I’d definitely go here again! The people here are also very very nice! Miles and Alejandro are always patient and polite!“

“Delicious Arabic/Middle Eastern goods. Server blew my mind away with her kindness and generosity you will always have my business and I will send people your way may Allah bless you, your employees and business 💕 بضائع عربية / شرق أوسطية لذيذة. الخادمة أذهلتني بلطفها وكرمها، ستظل أعمالي دائمًا وسأرسل الناس إليك، بارك الله فيك وفي موظفيك وعملك 💕“

“Food was great. Servers were knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely would eat there again.“

“Una excelente opción para disfrutar de una fusión única entre comida árabe y venezolana en Jacksonville, Florida es el restaurante "Shawarma Express Jax". Con su combinación de sabores auténticos de ambas culturas, como shawarma árabe y empanadas y tequeños venezolanos, te ofrecerá una experiencia gastronómica inolvidable que refleja lo mejor de ambas cocinas. ¡No dejes de visitarlos!“

“The food was divine and service excellent. We both had the Shrimp Etouffee and have never had better, even in New Orleans. Our anniversary dessert was so delicious.“

“Our visit today was amazing. The food took me back to my time spent in Afghanistan. Fantastic service and everything was delicious!! Definitely will revisit next time Im in Jax!!“

“I love their food and the music.“

“Some of, if not THE best, hummus I have EVER had (and I grew up in the Middle East)! Everything was absolutely delicious!l and the service was wonderful!“

“Super cute cafe. I had the chicken shawarma with fries. My friend gets the chicken pita and swears by it. Kibbeh was less impressive. Very dry and not what I’m used to having from other Mediterranean restaurants. Not gonna hold it against them tho. The shawarma was great.“

“I had the grilled chicken Gyro! It was great! Service was amazing. Open on thanksgiving, took care of me at 9:08pm after I got out of work. Food was fresh, clean and a healthy serving!!

They have been open for 9 days. Let’s help out a small business owner and support this place!! I will definitely be back!“

“what a wonderful experience! owned and run by an extraordinary family. meals were awesome!“

“We love eating here! It’s a great value for the amount of food we get. Love the wings/fries combo and the family size platters. Oh can’t forget my fish😊. The staff is very friendly and they always have a smile and wonderful attitude 😊 Thanks, The Pence Family“

“Delicious little Jewish deli. Glad I stumbled across the recommendation. Get the tuna fish sandwich“
