50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Clarkston

“My girlfriend and I were trying to find a spot after work for dinner and this place popped up. The restaurant is clean and decorated nicely. Food is also insanely good I couldn't believe it, and the portions are generous as well. The lady working there was very friendly and kind, made sure we were well taken care of. Definitely coming back, thank you!“

“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!!!“

“Amazing food experience. Fresh!“

“Service was terrific, very helpful and attentive. Food was delicious. We shared the berbere chicken and shrimp bucatini with a side of the grilled zucchini. All were tasty. The wine was great. The cheesecake was fantastic.

Definitely recommend this place and will return next time we’re in town.“

“Delicious as always. The celiacs and non celiacs in our family all love this restaurant. The owners and team are so kind and helpful. It is well worth a road trip.“

“The food was fantastic and our server Dillion was so knowledgeable, efficient and kind! He was so patient with us through our many questions, recommended some excellent menu items and cocktails, and even gave us a list of other restaurants to try while we are in town. We will definitely be back again!“

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

“Really enjoyed the atmosphere last night. This place was busy but for good reason. Jalen the bartender took great care of us and was very knowledgeable. Her recommendations for drink and food were spot on. We will be coming back for her and the vibes!“

“This was our first time at Banu, and we weren't sure what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised! Our server, Sebastian, was incredibly friendly and helpful, and both the food and ambiance were amazing.

We started with the hummus appetizer, and then shared the chicken shawarma, the falafel plate (which was perfectly moist and delicious), and the shrimp plate. As a side, we ordered the Persian berry rice. Every single dish was fantastic and perfectly seasoned.

While they don't have their liquor license just yet (they've applied), you can go literally right next door to grab a bottle of wine. They charge a small corkage fee, which actually works out to be less expensive than buying wine directly from a restaurant anyway. We can't wait to return!“

“If a portal to the Mediterranean existed, this is where you would find it. The food is authentic, prepared and made with love. It will not disappoint you one bit.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile, and as we went through the menu, the owner, Hovan, came out and had a conversation with us.

Apart from being a local gem & landmark, you will leave happier, healthier and planning your next visit.

Support a local business, try the rolls, try the shawarma and close it off with a cup of coffee and baklava.“

“Where do I even begin? The pita? Perfect texture and taste. The cherry tomatoes? Obviously fresh, juicy, and sourced from a great farm. The romain? Plentiful and CRISP. The Dill and Taziki sauce? Also VERY fresh, has a citrus kick somewhere, and seems to be made fresh as well. Because it doesn't taste like a store bought sauce filled with preservatives. The hummus? That might actually be where the citrus is from. However, the hummus is not overly salty! You can actually taste the Chickpeas and they use good ingredients as well as olive oil for the hummus too! The chicken? Is in NO way shape or form dry and it's actually seasoned! It's juicy and normal is it overcooked. The olives? Brothers and sisters I HATE olives by themselves, rarely on certain foods. But these olives are not overpowering and stealing the flavor profile, it just adds more depth to the flavor bomb of the Greek chicken Pita! The feta? What could be bettah? Seriously though if you can see this picture you should've seen that they don't skip on the feta either. Again the flavor is ALL the way there but not overpowering. While the texture is almost creamy. Probably with assistance from the sauce but still, it's not overly dry! 10/10 Would recommend & I will be back! Now the facility was spotless, the cleanest "fast food" I've ever seen. The staff? Phenomenonal, personable, kind, attentive to details, and downright superstars that make that place run like clockwork! Wooooo wo weeeee wo!!! If you haven't been here then you've got to go!! Moderate prices, exceptional ingredients, lovely staff, and clean facilities(where the staff actually care like the NW Expressway location in OKC). I'm out, ty for listening to my Ted talk! 🫡“

“Thank you, Kai! Our meal was delicious and healthy. I’m gluten free so I love having options. The grain bowl with salmon is filling and healthy and tastes great! The avocado salad was also delicious as was it beautifully prepared. Highly recommend!“

“Lauren is the epitome of customer service. She was a gem. Not only did she have great food and drink recommendations but she made our group feel welcomed and kept the laughter going. I will visit again and make sure to ask for her specifically!“

“First time here and def is our favorite shawarma spot! Super flavorful! Great portions! Amazing pita!!! Everything was yummy!!! 😋 Will be back!!! Parking situation is a bit odd but Chamblee does have a good amount of on street parking which is what we did.“

“Every time I’m in a new area, I refuse to eat big chain restaurants, and I’m so happy I have that rule because this place is phenomenal! I don’t know what kind of vinaigrette they have but even the salads are out of this world and the lamb sandwich is a must get for your first token experience!! The food came out as fast as the service AND it was still hot by the time I got back to the apartment! Both gentlemen there were super kind and on point, the one taking my order gave me a good laugh too! Five stars is genuinely not enough 100/10 🙌 also the to tzatziki sauce is clearly in-house made be sure to get one“

“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!!!“

“Had our rehearsal dinner last night at Cafe Lily in the Peacock Room and it was fantastic! Food was excellent and all the wait staff, particularly our main servers, Erin and Christian, were friendly and professional. The manager, Katie, was a pleasure to work with in getting everything set up and made sure the night ran smoothly. Highly recommend for a small party!“

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

“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!“

“Great restaurant and loved everything about this place.“

“We were looking for a new Mediterranean restaurant to try, and wasn't initially aware that the restaurant inside the hotel.

The decor was relaxing, music was the right volume, and our waitress Darian was a star! She recommended the cauliflower appetizer and it may be our favorite thing to eat this year! Everything was delicious (the octopus is as good as we've ever had it) and the service was A+ (we decided to split a beer with dessert and she brought it to us served in two chilled glasses without us asking).

The only thing that fell short were our cocktails (the martini didn't taste like a martini and my paper plane tasted like the martini that didn't taste like a martini), but that may be a fluke and we will be back!“

“Had a great lunch at Taziki's at Toco Hills today. Service was pleasant and the food was great: fresh, tasty, & attractively presented.“

“Amazing crew Lyana, Kat and Valeriya and other awesome stuff members make sure the place looks crispy clean, work very fast and have very friendly vibe. Even right before closure all food was fresh and it was plenty of food at this time and it was delicious. Had great experience tonight at this location tysm“

“Pros - great service, food was amazing, the shrimp kebab was so well flavored and so were the fries. The one drink I had (a lemon drop) was strong.
Cons - OUTRAGEOUS prices. 6 shrimp and a pile of fries were $30, which is steep enough, and then they charged an automatic 20% gratuity. Felt like the gratuity was our punishment for choosing a spot that had only like 5 other patrons at midnight on a Saturday. Also the DJ/music was awful - just random, different songs until he left at 1 AM.
If not for the prices, I would be back to try the salmon which was $32 but after the gratuity would be nearly a $40 plate!“

“The food was good, and the drinks were cold. It was friendly, fast, and efficient.“

“Salmon Feast was excellent ‼️“

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

“I went here with my sisters and we absolutely loved it here!! The chefs at the restaurant are so friendly… and the food tasted amazing! I had to pack 1 to-go as i knew i’ll want more of the same for dinner! Definitely going back!“

“Thank you for a great service and a wonderful dinner !!! Highly recommended. Tasty!!!“

“Enjoyed a wonderful dining experience with great friends. The menu was full of wonderful dishes. The service and the atmosphere were fantastic. Highly recommend visiting this family owned restaurant for an amazingly authentic dining experience.“

“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!“

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

“My god this was such a beautiful experience, the owner was so kind and so talkative, and he was rightfully very proud of his food. The food was excellent, I had the Chicken Doner Wrap, and it was incredible. Everything was perfect, it was fresh and so juicy. The spicy sauce was such a good addition, with a little bit of numbness involved. And the roasted eggplant hummus was just so simple and delicious, I usually don’t care for hummus but this changed my mind. It was a great experience and there is plenty of seating in the back! I will come back here for sure.“

“Had great food and drinks. Our server was Marcus. The ribs and salad were the best we’ve had.“

“First time here and def is our favorite shawarma spot! Super flavorful! Great portions! Amazing pita!!! Everything was yummy!!! 😋 Will be back!!! Parking situation is a bit odd but Chamblee does have a good amount of on street parking which is what we did.“

“Had to give a big shoutout to Baraka Shawarma — hands down one of the best spots in town. The food? 🔥 The service? On point. The people? Genuine. We’re grateful to have worked with them and even more grateful to enjoy their amazing food. If you haven’t checked them out yet, don’t sleep on it. May Allah continue to grant you barakah in every plate and every customer served! 🕌🍽️“

“Great food and services. Love it.“

“Indya was excellent“

“The food here is amazing! The shah kabob plate was so good. Everything was delicious!“

“Man this is one place I've been where I have yet to replicate the rice. Its like a reddish color with oil and I swear I cant get enough of it. I can just eat the rice with vegetables. Can't even remember exactly what I ordered but even though the food was great that rice was amazing. Make sure to get the white sauce. No dine in just a drive thru.“

“One of the best beef/lamb shawarmas I’ve had in ATL. I had it with the Zhoug and tzatziki. I’ve read other reviews and my only suggestion is that they should make sure that the food is always fresh - perhaps, how I had it today…and, lower the price a bit so that you’re not walking out with a $20 shawarma. I’ll definitely be back….“

“Real Whipped garlic & fattoush salad make my pregnant wife happy. Also falafels aren’t dry. My son loves them.“

“@fia_atlanta is more than the restaurant located in Buckhead’s @theburgesshotel; it celebrates Mediterranean cuisine featuring wood-fire grilled specialties. Fia is open daily for breakfast and dinner and has a cozy, intimate atmosphere where you feel like you are among friends, due in part to the stellar customer service. The food is some of the best in Atlanta! My favorite dishes include the Butternut Squash Soup, Jumbo Asparagus, and Pork Belly. I found Mr. B's Burger good but not craveable given the price point.“

“disappointed to get a pickup order today and receive a gyro platter with no salad and no pita bread.“

“Tried this restaurant on a lark. Outstanding! We had the lamb chops green beans and broccoli. Excellent. And the red velvet cake topped off a great meal. It is definitely on my "new favorites " list and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a great meal.“

“Food was exquisite, well seasoned, and visually appealing. We ordered something spicy, forgot what it was, but it hit the spot as far as taste was concerned. The coffee was everything I would expect from an Ethiopian restaurant. Went for my birthday and was a pleasant surprise. Hardly any patrons were present. There was a homeless man who kept trying to enter, the waitress eventually gave him a plate. That speaks to character. It took a little while to pay and leave as it was only one waitress.“

“Maximos is one of my favorite places. I have been a costumer for many years; Great food and friendly family.“

“the food is very good food here.“

“Listen everyone, they have the best staff EVER! I would like to thank them all, but most all, a special thanks to Andy. I came to the Grecian Dunwoody one day to pick up an order for my husband and was in a joking move that day. So, I said to Andy (worker) after placing my order. "I do not have any $$ to pay for it. Do you know this "outstanding young man" had sympathy for me and pulled out his personal credit card and offer to pay for my order. Ahhhh. I could have cried. WHO DOES THIS? Andy does this! I wish, I wish we had more workers like Andy in these fast-food places, not to pay for the customer's order, but just an overall, great young fellow, humble, caring and I hope when I go back that he still there, just to say thanks for being a GREAT Person & Worker at Grecian Gyro Dunwoody. His co-workers John & Mason were great employee too. Made my Day! Thanks to All of You. You don't meet people like Andy too often or at all these days. Thanks Andy, You're Special!“

“nice and fast and good customer service“
