39 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Tampa

“Great food, great ambience!“

“Lilac was a treat and a great opening to our first night in Tampa. Excellent and knowledgeable service. The ambience was intimate and pleasant to the eye. The food was exquisite, and well balanced.

I highly recommend the pork and octopus dish as the appetizer, as well as the duck in the main course menu. The peppercorn on the duck, mixed with the other components of the dish was a fun journey to the tongue. As for the dessert, we chose the chocolate soufflé as to share, and it was not a regret. The pistachio ice cream (amazing!) and the soufflé paired well perfectly as it melted in my mouth. It was not too sweet nor too heavy surprisingly. Such a delight!

Thank you to the staff for the amazing experience and memories.“

“During the past five years, we have enjoyed the authentic Turkish cuisine at Bayshore Mediterranean Grill. Having made several trips to Turkiye, we can attest to this fact! Thanks to the restaurant staff for providing excellent service. Special thanks to Rania, our server.“

“Excellent food! Excellent service!! Very clean restaurant! We will definitely be back! we highly recommended this restaurant!“

“This was our second time there in about ten days. The fine-in food is incredible. They have lots of less ethnic choices on their menu and I went with an American burger which was Very Good. My wife had the ganoush with lentil soup and thought it was very good. I had a standard gyro on my first visit, auch gut. They have only Turkish coffee in itty bitty cups, chalky and instant-like which I didn’t like much but it was my choice.

Parking: Parking is a delight, always. We parked right in front. The stripes were strait and parallel.“

“I ordered gyro and cheese pide and French fries to go.. Gentleman very helpful with my selection. Food was cook to order and he made me Turkish Black Tea while I waited. Place very clean and the food was delicious 🤤 🫶🏾 I definitely will go there often especially since they’re close by“

“I order from Pitas almost every day and I'm never disappointed. It's conveniently located downtown so I can easily walk there on my lunch break. I usually get one of the salads but no matter what I order, it's always delicious! The salads are big and come with lots of protein everything is always fresh and the staff is always friendly and everything is very reasonably priced.“

“Amaziiiiiing. FRESH,AUTHENTIC AND DELICIOUS!!!“

“The night we went there was a wedding reception in the garden.... looked absolutely beautiful for them, but for those of us here to enjoy a quiet evening out, it was loud, especially as they were moved to the banquet room. The food and drinks were delish. They charge for bread and it seemed like yesterday's batch. The esthetic was 9/10, bathrooms were clean.“

“First time eating from here and Oh my goodness!! Everything is absolutely delicious! The bowls are packed with so much yummy goodness and the cucumber yogurt has that amazing taste of garlic in it! 😍🤤 The falafel is perfectly seasoned and sesame on it makes it even tastier than it already is. Beyond impressed! My new favorite place. Seriously, truly wonderful food! ❤️“

“Me and my friend went to Cava at like 9:40 after the gym. Brooke and Dorcas did not care what time it was. We were greeted with a smile and they were happy to help on deciding what to get as it was our first time in there. Sitting down eating my food as I write this review and the food slaps! Still fresh got us in and out in a timely manner and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the Cava experience. Highly recommend the chicken bowl and the original pita chips ?? will be back again no doubt.“

“We had great service and amazing food at Acropolis! They had a buy one get one free drink special on certain drinks, and we took advantage of that as well. While drinks weren't great they weren't bad. The margarita was better than the sangria. The appetizer sampler was delicious as was all of the food. The location is great, with street parking and a parking lot right behind the building. I highly recommend!“

“This is the go to place. Great people who care about their community. Absolute genuine kindness because you can tell they love what they do. They have the absolute best hummus in town. Its ruined all other hummus for me, I cant find anything better. Their portions are huge and it fills you up without weighing you down. 100 stars out of 5.“

“Right in the middle of an unassuming street, Grill Express is a delicious, Israeli grill with fair prices, generous portions and amazing and flavorful food! It was so good and we can’t wait to make the trip back here on our next trip!“

“First time ordering catering for our office. Definitely will not be the last or only time. From ordering experience to delivery to eating experience it was high above expectations! The delivery driver went thru the order and explained how to present the food matching the entree/item with the accompanying sauces. The food itself was phenomenal. Everyone was pleased. We have never run out of food that we have ordered until today. Definitely highly recommend.“

“Wide variety of selections. Service with a smile and food made with heart!“
