50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Hallandale Beach

“I like this place a lot. The food is served impeccably. Large menu of authentic Turkish food. Reasonable prices and the most important very nice owners (Tuba’s brother). The tea they serve is black tea from Sri Lanka (it has some bergamot hint ). Its a true killer. I highly recommend them.“

“Dad loves the schawarma. Different textures with a little heat. Definitely recommend.“

“Best restaurant in South Florida“

“Very fun restaurant with beautiful Turkish Tiffany lamps as decor. On weekends they have a very lovely singer who sings in 7-10 different languages to your requests! Service is wonderful. All the waitresses are pretty and sweet Abandon parking and easy cozy atmosphere! You can’t go wrong!“

“Detective Steve recommended this place, and we liked it a lot! This restaurant is fantastic! The food is always fresh, tastes absolutely delicious, and the quality never disappoints. Terrific flavors and great service every time. Highly recommend!“

“What a great find so close to home. Always wondered what this was about and finally got a chance to try it. Agam, was a delight. She could answer all questions was very pleasant and always very attentive. In fact, everyone who we encountered was fabulous. The Mezza Platter was a great way to start. Actually, that could have been a main dish for someone, it was such a wonderful the selection. I had the chicken thigh skewers. Tasty and tender! All other meals looked just as good. Having a full bar is great! The cheesecake with the berry coulis was one of the best cheesecakes I've had out in a long time. Nothing negative I can really say except come season I'm sure it's going to be a little more difficult to get into. Kudos to all who were in service last night. I will definitely go back here. Can't wait to try it for breakfast one day. Thank you for a very nice way to spend an evening.“

I hope to be back before my trip is over.“

“Had falafel pita with hummus(homemade and you can tell the difference), Turkish coffee (so strong and so good), and it’s right next to a skate park while they were playing reggae. Great experience and great service. Miss Zelda made a little dessert she let me try made out of dates, blueberries and cacao and it was so tasty! Miss Zelda was also very sweet and we had a nice conversation after I was done eating. So yeah 5 stars much deserved“

“Increíble food and service the best“

“great food, last portions, really flavourful. food is fresh. the staff is really friendly and listen to your request. Prices are good for the type of food, it may look like a fast food but the food is definitely not cheap quality. Really delicious my son devour the chicken kabob platter.“

“This place impressed me with their food. Maybe becausae I was expeectign the typical 'greek joint' with the gyros and fries but no. Great menu, good service. The place is very loud and thats perhaps because the music is loud and people need to compete but you can still have a conversation. Will go back for sure.“

“DELICIUS“

“When I first walked in the door i was taken back by the upscale dining room. We had a wonderful experience from appetizers to desert. Our server Nikita was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He gave us great suggestions, enhancing our total experience. I am looking forward to returning for more delicious Russian/Armenian food. They also have a food market next door, another great find.“

“Great food and service!! The restaurant is very beautiful!! We loved it!! ❤️“

“Wow! Such delicious food and a most gracious and warm staff! Even though they were quite busy, the staff worked to get everything out in a timely manner. Nicest owner who named the restaurant after her grandma! 💕 Loved our experience! Try the arais, the couscous, the shnitzel, or the flanked hummus! Yum!!“

“Little hidden place in Plantation, located on Pine Island Road in a small shopping plaza. Izgara is a Middle Eastern restaurant, with delicious food! The Hummus , is the best I have ever had! It's creamy, buttery with a little tangy kick! I had the Skewered Steak Platter with salad, fresh cut sweet potato fries ( that I kept dipping into my hummus) 😋 check this place out! P.S. they also have vegetarian options“

“This is one of my all-time favorite restaurants. Every single thing is absolutely delicious. We had our engagement party here with our family. The Pam chicken pita wrap is unbeatable. My husband loves the stuffed peppers eat here you won’t be disappointed“

“I have gone to every single shawarma place in Hollywood, Aventura, North Miami Beach and this is easily the best shawarma. Best plate comes with more than any other place gives. No competition I would drive an hour and a half in traffic for this place.“

“Just do it!!! so much better than a recent restaurant meal that I had and while I'm visiting Fort Lauderdale I'll be probably there every night for the rest of my stay“

“Excellent food and service!!! Excellent staff and very clean premises!“

“The best Israeli food ever Everything is fresh and the staff is super friendly Their falafel Laffa is to die for“

“Hummus is amazing! Garlic and lemon zest are on point!! The peach cobbler egg rolls are a great sweet treat and the lemonade is refreshing in the FL heat 10:10 recommend!“

“First time here and I can’t wait to go back! I found this gem on Yelp as I was looking for a special place to celebrate a good friend’s birthday. My friend wanted something on the water that was unique. Olive & the Sea looked like the perfect fit. I reached out a week prior to see if they could accommodate a party of 10. Bernadette (events manager) was amazing and got back to me right away. The restaurant was STUNNING. Beautiful atmosphere inside and out with water views. The food was delicious and so were the cocktails. Everything was very fresh and tasted great! Rachel our waitress did everything she could to make the night perfect. We had a private room that was gorgeous! I highly recommend everyone check Olive & the Sea out especially if you are looking for a special night!“

“Highly recommended for upscale meal... but they do have burgers and kids menu. Located just off the beach, so from the street side of the hotel go to the second floor and follow signs to the pool then signs to the beach which will take you back down to the first floor out on the beach side. That said the food was creative and delicious. High quality for decent value for this upscale level. Waiter was excellent. There was a somewhat loud but good beach-style musical performance for half the meal so conversation was limited.“

“I enjoyed it very much, a place on another level.
Amazing service, pleasant atmosphere, clean and tidy,
And most importantly, food on another level.
It's worth a try.
You shouldn't miss the personal touch.“

“Highly recommend! This restaurant is so special of it's fresh,vegan, and tasty food. costumer service is great. Overall great restaurant 😊“

“Awesome food and atmosphere in Boca“

“I’ve tried other Mediterranean places in the area, but Rice stands out for both quality and consistency. If you’re looking for a healthy meal that still feels satisfying, this is the spot. Highly recommend to anyone in Aventura or nearby!“

“family owned business that serves great food with excellent service at a fair price“

“Dabush is easily the best place to get shawarma and falafel in South Florida by a long shot. The shawarma is so good and not too greasy, the bread is super fresh since they actually finish baking it in the store, and all the toppings are great. The portions are huge, they literally overstuff the pita. After you order, they offer you pretty much as many sides as you want with your food, like sautéed onions, jalapeños, pickles, and more. The staff is also incredibly nice, every single one of them. I’d definitely recommend Dabush to everyone, straight 11/10.“

“Delicious food….charming owners…“

“Had a great experience at Gyroville! The food tasted good and was flavorful — the gyro meat was well-seasoned and juicy, and the toppings were crisp and plentiful. I really liked that they gave you options on the sides, kind of like a Mediterranean Chipotle. The staff was friendly and got my order out quickly even though it was busy.

Only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because for some reason I was expecting something different in my mind for the price but it still got the job done for the day as I was craving gyros, the taste definitely made up for it. I’ll be back for sure — highly recommend if you’re craving something tasty and quick with a Greek twist!“

“This restaurant is known for its fresh seafood and Mediterranean flavors. All of their fish and shellfish are caught the same day and are absolutely fresh. Their grilled octopus, seafood platters, and Greek-style fish stews are especially recommended, each of which will be unforgettable!“

“So I had the yellowtail snapper and pacceri was beyond phenomenal...I would give it 11 stars, I never post about a restaurant but this is is the best Italian restaurant I've ever dined at... there's not enough praise to be given about Timos.....**********“

“Amazing“
