50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Chamblee

“The food here is phenomenal, but it’s the exceptional service that has truly made me a lifelong customer.

My husband and I visited today, and just before we ordered, I received a work call. My husband went ahead and ordered a beef kabob laffa for me, not realizing that “laffa” meant wrap, which I genuinely dislike. When the order arrived and we talked about it, I reassured our server that it was our mistake, and I would be ok eating it. She replied, “Let me see what I can do.”

Moments later, the manager or owner came over and told us they had a beef kabob on the grill and would be happy to make it as a plate instead. He refused payment for the extra dish and offered for us to take the wrap home.

We were deeply touched by this level of service and generosity. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Really nice management. BJ was super sweet, explained their ingredients and the new-to-me menu. He made sure my order was correct. Happy customer! I’ll Be back thanks to him!“

“Food was the best and service was out of the world. Chef Kameel is extremely hospitable, down to earth and care about his customers. Everything was delicious including Shawarma, hummus, baba ghanoush, taboulih, and baklavas.“

“This place is WAY WAY better than The Buttery. If you’re in the neighborhood, the choice is definitely Daily Chew!!!!“

“My wife and I love Mediterranean food so we were excited to try Ela after driving past it several times.

The service was as good as I’ve had recently and the vibe was fantastic.

I had a few of the Negronis which were excellent and my wife enjoyed the Capri Son.

We had the brussels, cauliflower falafel, tamarind-date pork with greens (my favorite dish of the night although too spicy for my wife), the black pepper lamb on a pita, and the Greek donuts.

Felt it was a bit pricey but the service, cocktails, and environment were exceptional.“

“Homely. Straightforward. No frills. How it should be. Falafel was crispy and soft and full of flavor. Rice was fluffy. Salad was refreshing and plentiful. The lady handling the counter guests and front of house was super friendly and helpful.“

“I want there with my husband last night,it was busy all the team members was finding a way to let everyone out and it was clean and this one guy called Dennis was lovely and sweet,he made sure the line is clean the dining room is clean and also came to help us,and the food was great fresh,OMG I love cava…thanks Dennis for helping us out last night“

“Came here with my family for dinner on Sunday. We were greeted by a sweet man and sat at our table. We ordered the hummus, garlic labneh, sumac fries, and falafel for appetizers and everything tasted good and came out hot and fresh. For dinner we ordered the zatar braised short rib, upside down lamb pilaf, and the chicken taouk. Everything tasted great and was nice and hot. The chef came out to talk to us and he was a very nice man. Will definitely come back again!“

“Charming little cafe in the heart of midtown. Perfect place to stop for a bite after sight seeing at the local attractions. (:
We came on a random hunt after a beautiful afternoon walking in downtown ATL. We were greeted by beautiful hostess who explained we came during happy hour & sat us outside. We enjoyed a few apps, & drinks. My drink the Serenade was particularly yummy, In a new florally distinct way. My partner enjoyed the wine can’t recall the name but the one with cinnamon notes that’s YUMMY! The food was great. We tried the mushroom fritters & spanakopita. & oh yeah the welcome dish! A surprise delight!“

“Food was the best and service was out of the world. Chef Kameel is extremely hospitable, down to earth and care about his customers. Everything was delicious including Shawarma, hummus, baba ghanoush, taboulih, and baklavas.“

“Delicious food and great service! They make you feel very welcome and prepare everything with care.“

“If I could give Hovan 10 stars I would. Super friendly and welcoming staff, fresh and delicious food, the interior is clean and well kept. I have been eating at Hovan since it was at the mall many years ago and I will continue to frequent is often as I am in Brookhaven. Everything is made fresh and you can taste it- the stand outs are: the Vegetarian Roll, the Shawarma, the potato salad, the hummus, and the Tabbouleh.“

“The food here is amazing. While I am not Afghan, I've had the privilege to enjoy a lot of Afghan food both in restaurants and in people's homes and this is by far some of the best I have eaten any where. All of our food was cooked to perfection and one of the few places I would actually recommend getting grilled white meat chicken because it is flavorful and juicy without being cooked dry. This is a great place for a date with a beautiful and relaxing atmosphere. Their tea and desserts (especially the baklava) are also wonderful making for a great place to meet up for a "coffee date"!

Parking: Parking is easy and abundant!“

“Great food and great service“

“I had a great experience from the time I walked in the restaurant until I left. The food and service level meet my expectations. Nice waitress she was attentive and polite. I recommend this restaurant.“

“i love how fresh food is and friendly service is too grill lamb is best dish“

“Great restaurant and loved everything about this place.“

“This dad and son team does a great job getting the job done. The food is always consistent. It seems like their starting to put together another team of cooks. I know pre pandemic, they would have a staff of 3- 4 ppl in the kitchen. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, they had to let the team go. I hope he brings the same crew back.“

“Overall very flavorful food. The hummus was excellent, featuring high quality oil and really good pita to go along with it. The lamb kabobs were huge and really well seasoned. Greek potatoes were also cooked perfectly, well seasoned and crispy. Tatziki sauce also was really good. Prices are a little steep for some of their plates, but there were some less expensive options available as well. The quality here is a lot higher, however, compared to lower priced mediterranean restaurants in the area.“

“An absolute hidden gym. Some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve had in Atlanta. Everything is always so fresh, the owner is so kind, and the food is DELICIOUS! I used to eat here all the time when I lived in the area, now it’s an extra special treat when I get to have it. The chicken kabob is my go to, and you can’t go wrong with any of the sides. My mouth is watering just typing this out. Might have to go get some right now!“

“The food is absolutely amazing. Great place to have dinner and unwinds. Our server, Kelly was both professional & awesome which added to the evening. Can’t forget to mention Cheyenne who quickly troubleshooted our little reservation mix- up-thanks- gracious and welcoming at the door!. Anytime we are in The ATL dinner here is a must! .“

“I have celiac disease and have to eat gluten free. This place offered so many different options! I was pleasantly surprised! They were quick and friendly as well. I wish they offered more for the kiddos, as my 6 year old had trouble finding something to munch on, but my mushroom shawarma chickpea bowl was delicious!“

“Amazing healthy bowls of Mediterranean flavors!! Love the chicken, the lentils, the hummus and the dill yogurt sauce!!! Nico and Ben and Alec were working hard keeping the line moving!!!“

“This is literally the best food in Atlanta I have ever had or probably in the US! It was so good that I went back to get more!! I must say, Iraqi food is amazing. The way he presented the food was amazing. He also offered free chickpeas soup! Very kind host! 11/10!!!“

“The food, the drinks, the people and the VIBE. This is a great date night spot, whether you're at a table or the bar. Highly recommend the bar.

We ordered the Mezze Platter, Octopus, and the Lamb Shoulder... all of which were big conversations at the table because we enjoyed them so much.

The service was warm and personable. Food & Drinks were next level. Can't wait to go back!“

“the best Mediterranean food in the area, great service and fastlove it“

“Easy place to eat. No frills, no fuss, just tasty food. My neighbor took me for lunch and ordered for the table. I was shocked by how fresh and tasty everything was. The next day I took my family for dinner and ordered for the table and they were shocked. Even the kids were happy. So far our favorite things are: shrimp and polenta, roasted chicken, stuffed avo w quinoa and Mac and cheese. But everything is tasty. Our least faves are the lamb gyro, lamb kabobs and chicken skewers. The lamb was not seasoned enough and fell a bit flat. The chicken skews were dry. Two things: the wait staff is mediocre at best. The desserts are “meh”. Otherwise have fun and eat!!“

“Eat there every week. So delish!“

“Beautiful establishment. Made reservations for a birthday dinner for my bestie, and we both enjoyed it. The service was phenomenal, and the food was so good. The portions were very generous. I appreciate the level of attention we received from all the staff. It's like everyone was contributing to ensure the guests were properly assisted. The valet service was reasonable and convenient. Decent music as well. Would definitely return and highly recommend.

Kid-friendliness: 21 and up“

“This location is always a go to! Marcus, in particular, goes above and beyond to ensure every guest feels welcomed and valued. His warm demeanor, attention to detail, and genuine enthusiasm make the dining experience unforgettable. Marcus sets the standard for customer care. Highly recommend visiting this location, not just for the food but for the incredible service as well!“

“We had the pleasure of being helped today by Nature! Who by the way was excellent. The food and vibe was excellent. Thank you Nature for making our laborious day better at mealtime. We will be back!“

“A variety of great food options (roshambo <3, but also Whitehall for the casual family pub experience plus very solid Italian and Mexican options), an array of high-end shopping, and solid basics with publix, walgreens, Starbucks, and Ace hardware, if they didn't start at 900k I would want to live in The Dillon condos to have direct access to this right outside my door...“

“Great food! Fun experience!!“

“Salmon Feast was excellent ‼️“

“I’ve had good experiences with the service and the food is fresh. The woman is very friendly and kind. The only issues I personally have is that the prices been going up every time I go and the taste is inconsistent. I recently spent $30 on 2 wraps with no side or drink. I wasn’t happy about that considering that’s how much I’d spend on 2 meals at local restaurants, not fast food. In my honest opinion, I’m not sure how I could justify spending this much on only wraps. If you don’t mind the cost, definitely try this place because it’s pretty good! As for the flavor, sometimes it’s great, sometimes it’s decent. I been here more than a few times and it can feel like a hit or miss. Considering the prices I wouldn’t eat here all the time. It’s definitely worth the experience though.

Parking: Small, tight lot which makes it difficult for me to get out“

“Great service! Awesome food…“

“The food is good, of course, although my rice was a bit crunchy so that hurt my teeth. Staff is friendly. It smells a little funny though, I think they could use a deep clean.

Dietary restrictions: I eat mainly vegan and this place has PLENTY for me that is still flavorful like their dressings and dips which is unusual. Love that.“

“Maria took great care of me when stop by lunch on Friday 2/2 /24 she went extra mile“

“Great food and services. Love it.“

“Great Gyros and Platters. I prefer the Chicken Beef platter. Everything is good and filling for the price. The whits sauce they use is SO FRIGGIN GOOD!! THE RICE IS AWESOME!! Hell, I could order just the rice and Id be good. Just need to work on their Greek Sauce for the salad. The Greek sauce doesn't really have much flavor but that could just be me. I have already ordered 3 times from here and love the food. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu.“

“This is the most excellent place to celebrate an anniversary! I dropped my parents to celebrate their 65 year Anniversary tonight and I couldn’t have been happier. They were presented an Anniversary card and free dessert which thrilled them. All wait staff came by their table throughout the evening and wished them a Happy Anniversary. The service was Excellent and the food Outstanding. Thank you Sugo for helping my folks celebrate!“

“I drive a tractor trailer and ran into cava at perimeter. The service I received from Cliff and Jalisa was very friendly and inviting. I had gotten my order to go but felt so welcome after talking with them I decided to dine in. Next time I’m in town I will be stopping back by. Keep up the good work.“

“I recommend the rack of lamb and the Istanbul Martini. The food was good and the atmosphere was great. I will be going back.“

“Went for the first time last week to order the family meal. It was fabulous - incredible portions for my family of 5 and everyone loves the variety of schwarma, falafel, grilled chicken rice, Israeli salad, tahini and yoghurt dip and dessert. The food was fabulous! Will defin be back at least weekly.“

“If you in the A you gotta stop by and get the Gyros!!“

“Everything was amazing! It's been a while since I've had good food in the city! Try the spreads sampler!“

“This is our favorite place to stay in Buckhead. The rooms are spacious, modern, clean and comfortable. The staff is outstanding! Brandon and the staff from valet, the front desk, the restaurant, to the housekeeping staff are all so friendly and accommodating. We unexpectedly needed to extend our stay. Brandon and staff handled this seamlessly for us. We could not have better service and look forward to our next stay.“

“Look at this plate. I'm leaning back in my booth having eaten almost all of it. I got the lamb shank that came with rice, salad, and pita bread. It looks a little small because it has a lot of height to it. It's thick. The salad was fresh and crisp and the vinaigrette was perfect. The lamb and rice was flavorful and the sauces were abundant. The staff are friendly and the place was clean. Great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.“
