43 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Miami Gardens

“Met a work friend here right before a client meeting and I was truly impressed with the level of service, food quality, atmosphere and overall experience. It was my first time eating here btw. The 2 owners were extremely friendly and greeted me with a warm smile as soon as I walked in (this never happens anywhere else I go!) The steak I ordered was cooked to perfection too. Great place to meet up, take clients to or if you want a really good vibe in Miami. I’ll be back for sure! Thanks again.“

“Great service! Clemente was great!“

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

“Amazing food and service. We lived in the area 10+yrs ago, and we come to visit Miami Beach once in a while. Nice surprise to run into this new place, which used to be Cantina 27 for years. Good taste on the renovation of the place.

The flatpita, lamb kebab and steak were superb, while the humus, tzatkizi, tahini and all the sauces on the side top notch.

We got served by Euro, the serbian. He was super attentive, kind and took the time to explain the concept and the menu before we placed the order. Hope this place keeps staff like him. Enthusiastic and with a positive vibe… not only for the honeymoon period of the new launch.

We had a pleasant time and will come back for sure!“

“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.“

“One of my favorite restaurants - anywhere (I live in Boston and travel extensively). This was our second visit. Just as on the first, every bite of every order (five people) was delicious. Of course, it all starts with the pita - delicious, soft, hot out-of-the-oven and covered with whatever sauce is on my plate. Also of note: mushroom hummus, fish-schwarma, schnitzel, short ribs. Yum!“

“My group had a wonderful time at ZOI Restaurant today lunch time. There were 10 of us celebrating 2 Birthday’s. From the large free parking lot to the entrance, gorgeous orchids growing on the lush trees greet you. The outdoor garden patio seating area where we dined is magical, and the seats are so plush and comfortable. It’s an unexpected botanical garden of palms, cycads, orchids, and bromeliads surrounding large lagoons. The Mediterranean /Greek food is wonderfully delicious, especially the variety of Mezzes that I had. The grilled Octopus and Lamb Chops were sensational. ZOI has developed the perfect mix of food, intimacy, and culinary expertise. Management spoiled us with pampering and great service. This place was so much fun, we didn’t want to leave.“

“Excelente comida Excelente atención“

“Great food. Friendly staff. Very nice environment. A must go place.“

“I’m visiting Miami and have eaten at Takesh Grill for lunch and dinner. The salads are very flavorful and the beef Shawarma was very good. They have nice espresso drinks and Turkish coffee, which was great because the surrounding area is lacking good coffee. I enjoyed the food, had wonderful service and the ambiance was very nice and clean.“

Vegetarian options: Salads. Kskskdnnnnn“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at your restaurant, and I must commend the exceptional service provided by Yasmine and Dory. From the moment we arrived, Yasmine's warm and welcoming demeanor set a positive tone for the evening. She was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring we had everything we needed and offering insightful recommendations that truly enhanced our meal.

Dory, with their efficient and friendly service, complemented Yasmine's approach perfectly. Dory's knowledge of the menu and prompt responses to our requests were impressive, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. Their genuine enthusiasm and professionalism made the evening memorable.

Thank you, Yasmine and Dory, for making our visit so delightful. Your dedication to providing excellent service did not go unnoticed and is greatly appreciated.“

“One of the best restaurants in Miami. The atmosphere of this place is so cozy and rich. It has a little something for everyone. Live jazz music on Thursdays, lady's night on Wednesdays and of course the unmissable Friday party. Thank you for the delicious food and especially the star service you have.“

“Absolutely loved this restaurant. The Miami Spice menu is delicious, we had the lahmacun, kofte, some mezes and kunefe. Absolutely authentic with zero twists to it. Melissa was our server and she was a sweetheart. Definitely recommend this place.“

“Staff is very attentive and eager to make everyone comfortable and feel welcome. We had questions about menu and switched things up a little with no issues. They went all out for our birthday celebration dinner to make it complete ❤️ New Menu is not what Google shows . I would recommend this place for a nice evening out.“

“Delicious Mediterranean cuisine with fresh ingredients. Gotta recommend the Falafel and crunchy Cauliflower, creative cocktails from Julianna and amazing happy hour with unbeatable prices. Trendy beachy ambiance, good for a special occasion and double recommended for date night. Service is top notch from the moment you make your reservation, when Kelly takes your order, while one of their chefs checks up on you till you get the bill... Always consistent and delicious

“Had a craving for something healthy, was in the area and this food truck popped up at the top of the search results. I had the Chicken gyro, pita and hummus. Everything was delish. Zelda is very sweet and even offered me some free stuffed grape leaves which were unsurprisingly delish. Highly recommend“

“We've seen this place before, but I tried it for the first time today. The place is very airy and clean. We tried two varieties, both were very nice. All the ingredients were compatible with each other and this increased the taste. There are three types of sauces offered: spicy, garlic yoghurt and coriander jalapeño. The fries were also crispy. They're all so nice. We will come again. Thank you“

“I recently dined at pita Express a charming Mediterranean restaurant, and had a delightful experience. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable meal. The decor was tastefully done, with elements that evoke the Mediterranean’s vibrant and sun-soaked landscapes.“

“We had the most amazing meal there. The staff were attentive and knew the menu - gave us suggestions of what to order . The bar tender made a wonderful sangria which to me was a plus. The food was prepared to perfection and beautifully plated. I would highly recommend this great find!“

“I was there two weeks ago Excellent service and food!! Five stars“

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

“One of the best restaurants state-side. Highly recommend. Excellent staff and service; great food and presentation. An amazing place for family gatherings and a great date. Enjoy.“

“Our second time back. Brought our daughter this time. Honestly, I had been anticipating returning since our 1st visit in June (see my original review). Service, ambiance, the food!, excellent wine-in the spirit of the Olympics-10s all around. Trying to figure out how to become regulars! Don't miss out!“

“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!“

“My biggest thing is the food is ALWAYS CONSISTENT!!!! That’s such a huge issue in miami now a days but the food here is always always good, fresh, and consistent. Taste the same and I love it. I also have a super sensitive tummy and the fact that I never ever have stomach issues after eating and I can adjust my food according to my dietary restrictions is HUGE. Love this place forever!

Dietary restrictions: I am gluten free, I can’t have tomatoes, I can’t have onions etc and I never have issues“

“Food and service was great. I wish the noise level was lower but understand that many families with young children create loud noise. Value is good. Pricing is on the high end so affordable for us only for special occasions. Would recommend and come again.“

“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.“

“Love the spread out dining area that this Mr.Mandolin offers, it’s perfect for conversing both inside and out. The menu, although flavorful, is fairly limited in selections so factor that into your visit. #mrmandolin #fresh #greek #atmosphere #miami #dadecounty #florida

Parking: Parking is located around the complex which is located within the Vegabound Hotel“

“Great place to visit. From the food to the service everything was incredible.
Our waiter Elvis was very good in every aspect. From recommendations to service everything was great.
Also Giorgio was very nice!
Thank you for such a good experience!“

“Delicious Flavors and Cozy Atmosphere:My experience at KooLulu was nothing short of delightful. The flavors of the food were simply outstanding, leaving me craving more even after the last bite. Despite missing out on the mint lemonade, the regular lemonade was a refreshing treat, bursting with flavor.For lunch, I opted for the Short Rib Sandwich, and it was a culinary masterpiece. The combination of overnight short rib, tahini, chimichurri, lemon cream, grilled onion, tomato, and confit garlic nestled in a warm pita was a symphony of flavors that left me satisfied and impressed.My friend went for the Jerusalem Hummus, and it was a revelation. The homemade hummus paired perfectly with tahini, pulled kebab, grated tomato, schug, parsley, and olive oil, creating a harmonious blend of textures and tastes that pleased the palate.The ambiance of KooLulu was cozy and inviting, with both indoor and outdoor seating options available. However, parking in Surfside can be a bit challenging, as it mainly relies on street parking unless you're willing to walk from the local municipal parking lots nearby.The only drawback was that the service was a little slow, but the delicious food more than made up for it.Overall, my experience at KooLulu was exceptional. From the delectable food to the charming atmosphere, it's a culinary gem worth visiting again and again.“

“The service was excellent but over price for the quality of the food“

“Muy lindo lugar muy agradable muy Familiar me encanto mucho si así es Turquía wow encantada de ir a ese lindo país que me tiene enamorada de sus productos por las novelas y ahora la comida wow muy rica nunca había aprobado comida del Medio Oriente y nos encantó mucho delicioso todo satisfecha lo recomiendo mucho este lugar“

“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!“

“Super good shawarmas, faithful flavor.
Good packaging presentation, fresh food.

The exception to this is that tabbouleh tastes a lot like lemon, and not freshly made. But in truth, eating here does not disappoint and has super good prices.“

“Beautiful scenery, very relaxing, as if being in nature.“

“Excellent food but to expensive“

“We were at Trump Int’l Beach Resort for a corporate event. We had lunch at Gili’s several times. Food and service were excellent, and the view of the beach/ocean can’t be beat. Eddy our server was top notch serving our large party. I would have to say the only downside of Gili’s is that is closed at 5 or 6pm. Why would a beach bar close this early. People like to eat and hang out even at night by the beach. That surprised me that is closes so early.“
