50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Dunwoody

“First-time visit, and I’m already a fan! Cafe Sababa offers a cozy café-style ambiance with cool, laid-back vibes — perfect for enjoying a flavorful Mediterranean meal.

Upon walking in, you place your order at the register. If the team is in the back (as they were when I arrived), there’s a little bell to ring for assistance — a nice touch that keeps things flowing.

After browsing the menu, I went with the chicken platter, which came with creamy hummus, a fresh salad, and warm, soft pita bread. I also added a side of chickpea curry soup, and let me tell you — the portion was generous, served hot, and packed with flavor.

Everything tasted fresh, filling, and well-seasoned. The prices were more than fair, and to top it off, bottled water was just $0.50. That’s rare these days!

This family-style Mediterranean spot is a solid yes for me. I felt welcomed, comfortable, and left full and satisfied. Definitely adding Cafe Sababa to my go-to list.“

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

“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!“

“This was one of the best places as a whole that I’ve ever been to! This includes across the entire US, Europe and Central America! I’d recommend everything g, but the soup was to die for! The staff and especially Kameel are amazing as well. A sign inside says “we love you,” and Kameel can be seen telling his customers he loves them as he fist bumps! It’s such a warm and inviting atmosphere! Everyone should make a stop here regularly! I wish I was a local because I’d be a regular! I loved it! 😍 Thank you Aviva for such an enjoyable experience and meal!“

“Try this place for the first time last night. Food was very tasty, not something you'll eat at every other restaurant, but not two different that American taste buds wouldn't like it. Had the meat salad, the chicken kebab, and the lamb peel and all were fantastic. The server Nisreen was very sweet too. Would definitely eat there again.“

“I’ve been a customer for years and not sure why I haven’t left a review yet.

This is hands down one of my favorite restaurants in the Atlanta metro area. The food is amazing, made with care and love by the owner. My go-to order is the mixed gyro and shawarma plate with rice and adding some hot sauce. It’s the best shawarma and gyro that I’ve had in town, and Manna’s sauces are amazing. Plus, each plate is basically 2 meals for me, which makes the cost more efficient.

I couldn’t recommend Merhaba Shawarma enough. I try to stop by myself once a week!“

“Salmon Feast was excellent ‼️“

“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 bartender Azia she was beautiful, knowledgeable, friendly and patient. This was my hubby and I first time as we were celebrating my bday🎉

The food was great, drinks were great, hookah was good until I got sick 🤢. I think the hookah didn’t sit right with me and the drinks. I started to feel nauseous, we left and 2 mins into the drive had to pull over to vomit.

We got the lamb and salmon. I think we will be back but I will not get the hookah😅“

“I ordered our food online and we were so hungry that we ate it when we got there! Everything was very delicious! The staff was very pleasant and the only issue was that they forgot to put the pita that came with my meal in our bag. I didn't get upset though because I am sure that it was an honest mistake!“

“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...“

“Sultan was amazing, went above and beyond to make our first experience as great as it was. We left so full, the portions were so large. We were incredibly well taken care of and enjoyed some great bowls. Somehow better than the food, the highlight was the service. We will be back for more!“

“Fiance and I went on a busy Friday night and were lucky to grab seats at the bar. We tried to make a reservation 4 days in advance and nothing was available so make sure to plan wayyyyyyy ahead- it's a popular spot! Jennifer Ramos behind the bar was lovely; she's good company and provided great service even tho she was super busy. We enjoyed the hummus app, he had lamb, and I had the sirloin. All delicious and very flavorful with quick service. You can skip dessert tho, it was very whatever. Will return!“

“We visited on a Friday around 7:30 p.m. The place was mostly empty. Our food took longer than anticipated, but it was worth the wait. For the price, I guess I expected the restaurant to be more clean and welcoming. The establishment is not remarkably tidy--sticky floors, generally disheveled presentation. Food was flavorful and fresh.“

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