50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Coconut Creek

“Ethos is a favorite of ours, the good is always terrific. Today's visit was extra special due to Sasha, our wonderful server. She anticipated our needs before we asked without being intrusive. Service was quick, and always with a smile. The service is always good, bet she was special.“

“I came for dinner recently and had a selection of appetizers and menu items. Everything was delicious and seasoned really well but the Kafta Skewers were dry. Otherwise I would have given the food a 5 out of 5.

Our server was friendly and did a good job explaining the menu items, but they should be a little more attentive as there were a couple of stretches where he disappeared.

The dining area is small (about 40 seats total I think), quiet, and well lit. Good for a casual date night, dinner with the family, or small gathering of friends. Not ideal for very large groups unless you reserve in advance.

Good food, friendly service, clean and organized dining room. I'll definitely be back to check it out again.“

“We love their middle eastern foods ,flavors , portion sizes , healthy options and desserts . So close to Parkland, Margate, Boca . Very homely , Thanks for the hospitality . ❤️❤️“

“Excellent food in a casual feeling restaurant overlooks the pool and ocean“

“Olive U Mediterranean Grill in Delray Beach is a hidden gem! The space is super clean, spacious, and inviting, with a fresh, modern atmosphere that feels a step above your typical eatery. It’s also very kid-friendly, which made dining with the family a breeze. The food? Absolutely yummy! Nothing compares to how clean, fresh, and precise the quality of their ingredients and menu choices are. Every bite tastes thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. The staff was friendly and attentive, and parking was incredibly easy—huge plus. A special thank you to General Manager Jeff, who clearly takes pride in his role. He goes above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome and valued. From the elevated vibe to the top-notch service and delicious food, Olive U sets a new standard. We’ll definitely be back!“

“I found this place maybe 2 or so weeks ago & have been ordering nearly everyday since. I was looking for affordable Mediterranean food that was also still good. Thank God I pulled the trigger here lol. The food is amazing considering taste, quality of food/ingredients, & price. The young lady & gentleman that work the counter are also very nice. I get a pita wrap with chicken & falafel (fries on the inside because I’m a little childish) & it’s chef kiss every time!“

“We were celebrating a special event with our baby. Not only was the food delicious but every employee said hello. Danielle came over chatted with us and she gave our baby a toy Motek car! Best of all they also had bomba, which is an Israeli peanut butter food to feed our baby.“

“The food was delicious. The owner was extremely kind to us. She gave baklava. We bonded over being Greek and shared experiences with each other. She gave good advice to us three young men. It was overall extremely kind. The food was amazing. The service is quick and I will definitely be coming here overtime.“

“I recently stopped by Olivio Mediterranean Cuisine at 7815 W Sunrise Blvd in Plantation, and honestly, this place left a much bigger impression on me than I expected.
Right from the beginning, the experience felt personal. We were attended by the owner himself, and he was an absolute pleasure to talk to. Great character, genuinely welcoming, and you could tell he really cares about what he’s putting on the table. He took the time to explain the dishes, the sauces, and even some of the methods and ideas behind how everything was prepared. I really appreciated that. You can tell there’s a lot of patience and thought going into the flavors.

We started with the falafel, lentil soup, pita bread, calamari, salad, and mint lemonade.
That mint lemonade was spectacular. The mint and lemon worked together perfectly. It was refreshing, bright, and lemony enough to have that punch without one flavor overpowering the other. Everything was in harmony.

The falafel was also very well done and crispy on the outside while staying soft and flavorful inside.
Then came the calamari, and this was one of the biggest surprises for me. The calamari itself was great, but that green sauce that came with it? Absolutely incredible. It had just a hint of spice, and the flavors paired with the calamari so well that it almost gave me that feeling of eating something fresh from the sea with its perfect accompanying sauce. I honestly wasn’t expecting it to be that good.
The lentil soup was comforting and well made. It had that homemade quality to it — the kind of food that makes you feel like you’re sitting at someone’s home. If you’re a big fan of lentil soup, you’d probably be all over this.
The salad was a nice, refreshing addition to the beginning of the meal as well.

Then the main courses came out: the beef shawarma and the Jerusalem mixed platter.
Oof!
The beef shawarma was amazing. What I really appreciated was how something seemingly simple was executed with a lot of thought. The shawarma was flavorful, the texture was right, and the sauce that accompanied it brought everything together.

And the Jerusalem mixed platter was just as impressive. The rice, salad, and combination of meats all worked together beautifully. It was the kind of meal where every component had its place.

What stood out to me most about Olivio wasn’t just the food. It was the feeling behind it.
Trying food from another culture can feel like you’re getting a little window into someone else’s home, traditions, and way of life. That’s honestly what this experience felt like to me. I come from a pretty standard background when it comes to food and haven’t always had the opportunity to explore a lot of different flavors and cuisines.

Olivio gave me that adventure!

You can taste the thought, patience, and passion that goes into the food, and having the owner personally walk us through the dishes made the experience even better.

5/5 from me!

Olivio feels like an up and coming spot that deserves some love. If you’re someone who wants to step outside your usual food choices, explore Mediterranean flavors, and experience something made with genuine care, I highly recommend giving this place a visit.
Much love to the owner and the kitchen. Keep doing what you’re doing.“

“Such a delight to have discovered this place with healthy Mediterranean dishes, so close to home and so many healthy meat and vegetarian options. So clean and such beautiful decor! 😍 The staff very cordial and attentive. Made great suggestions n recommendations too. We will return regularly ❤️“

“Yes! Great food and service!“

“Big Kebab fan and decided to give TKS a try since I was in the area. So happy I did.
The wrap was delicious. You can customize what you want inside. Their hummus was so good, with lemon undertones. Pita was soft and fresh. The garlic sauce was the perfect addition. 10/10 give them a try!“

“My wife and I visited for the first time last night. Sat at the bar. Jay our Bartender was outstanding! Gave us great recommendations on the menu and for cocktails. We had a wonderful time, enjoying the food and watching the dancer perform. Would recommend to anybody.“

“This was our first time eating at a Spanish restaurant. Strictly went there for the paella, which was quite good. We did have two appetizers, one being the white anchovies, and the second one was artichokes and ham. Both were very delicious. Would definitely go back again.“

“Outstanding Family Owned Restaurant with a wide selection of fresh homemade food.“

“Authentic Israeli style shawarma is one of the hardest things to find in this country. They absolutely nail it at Friendship Grill. The food can cure antisemitism. Seriously, it is made with love and delicious beyond words. Make sure to ask for the amba sauce. It is a sweet, slightly spicy sauce made from fermented mango and several spices. You will not regret it. To be honest, it is expensive. One shawarma pita with no sides is $36. But you are right in the middle of Las Olas, and it is getting harder and harder for restaurants to survive on what people think prices should be. So do not fault them for that. Your money is also going to a genuinely good cause. Look up Chabad. Their charity is legendary worldwide, and the restaurant is directly affiliated with them. Also, Spencer did a great job taking my order today. If you want something truly unique that you cannot get just anywhere, while also supporting Israel and treating yourself to an incredible meal, go to Friendship Grill. Just do not come Friday evening.“

“I went for the first time close to home. I've always passed by but never tried it. Well it's my new go to restaurant. We had the most delicious dinner appetizers. Everything was great drinks service very welcoming will be back.❤️“

“Service was excellent and food was very enjoyable and place was very clean. Atmosphere & Ambience feels very comfortable and welcoming.“

“The owner is a real jerk, vaping as he prepares the food. I supposedly went in to train as a cashier, only to get overwhelmed by duties as the cashier, taking orders on the phone, packing take-outs, handling Door Dash, Uber Eats, Grub Hub, serving all the tables as a waitress for the whole place, cleaning them all up as a busperson, and bringing patio furniture outside. Good thing I didn't work at night or I'd have the added duties of also mopping the floors, cleaning the bathrooms as a janitor, and bringing in all the patio furniture. The owner calls it multi-tasking. I call it too cheap to hire more employees. It is insane to ask for so much from one person! As it is, he only pays minimum wage and all the credit card tips are kept by the owner himself! From here I have learned that I'll be leaving cash tips for wait staff in the future, since greedy owners like this feel they are entitled to keep all credit card tips. The place is a disgrace.“

“The food is really outstanding! Every meal we had was full of flavor and cooked to perfection.. I recommend visiting Falafel Beach Grill .. “must try”“

“Had a wonderful brunch experience\\! The food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented\\.

“Incredible family-owned restaurant with an upscale and friendly atmosphere. The food is amazing!“

“Theos was an amazing experience from the moment we walked in the door. The Hostess was super accommodating and friendly. Our server Marco was superb. They had me after the Greek salad with the freshest ingredients and wonderful flavor. Great food, great service and reasonable prices is the hallmark of great restaraunts. Theos is the best.“

“The food here is excellent. The service is fantastic. Everyone is super friendly and they use very fresh and healthy ingredients. This is one of the healthiest places I could find in the area and I am thrilled to be enjoying my dinner here. I’m definitely returning.“

“Over the past month there are new owners. They go above and beyond to please all their customers. I am here at least once a week. The shawarma is excellent and the pita bread is the best around. If you have not tried their food you will not be disappointed. Stop by and support this wonderful local business.“

“I suggest going outside on the water it's beautiful great service very friendly very fresh“

“Unbelievable food flavorful and delicious �“

“I walked into cava and had an amazing experience from beginning to end from the moment I walked in. I was greeted by Bev and she got our order perfect to a tea. She even recommended and reminded us about getting an account amazing experience from beginning to end. Definitely recommend.“

“New to Sunrise and truly excellent. Prices are competitive with all the others. They offer turkey and beef shawarma but give you a little bit extra by including an order of fries with every shawarma. They go out of their way to make sure your visit is enjoyable. Very nice people and excellent food. I highly recommend this restaurant and hope y'all will support this new local business.“

“The food was amazing!! The spanakopita was the best I’ve ever had, Greek salad, the dressing is fabulous, the hummus to die for and the snapper yellowtail cooked to perfection! Thank you!“

“We stay at the Westin Fort Lauderdale hotel and this is their main restaurant. We went for a quiet dinner today and we have been quite satisfied with the service and the food. They are really trying to be kind to us and you can almost feel a family type of business even though it’s part of a chain... We only took the BLT sandwich since we were not that hungry. The food was really good and their prices are very acceptable for a hotel restaurant.“

“I've been coming here with my husband for about a year now, they recently catered for us and gave us a great deal for my Gender reveal party for my baby that I'm having and the food was perfect 👌. Everyone loved it and moshe is a great business man who cares about his customers. Thank you so much Grill Xpress, we will be spreading the word to our friends and family at our synagogue about your delicious food and amazing service 👏.“

“This was my first time trying Gyroville, and I was really impressed! Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and made to order. The portions were generous, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. Great first experience!“

“Had food delivered from Gyroville for the first time today and had to run to leave my praises!

Portions were big! Salad was so fresh! Gyro meat was delicious, fries were so crispy!

The falafel was so crunchy and flavorful!

We got 2 gyro platters, one with regular Tzatziki and one with the spicy feta Tzatziki. Definitely going to have that again!! Wow
Looking forward to visiting in person this weekend!“
