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!“

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

The food is absolutely amazing....the freshly made salads, meats seafood, etc. and the lemonade lime drink Limonana are at another level delicious!!! The lamb chops and filet mignon alone make it worth the all you can eat price. My entire family are I are STILL talking about how good the food was and can't wait to return!!!“

“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.“

They just opened this year but they are started off very well. I will be back probably every week. The grade in my pic says it all.“

Our server, Kala, made the experience even better. She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm. She checked on us at the perfect times and made great recommendations that we ended up loving. It’s rare to find service that feels this personal and professional at the same time.

“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!“

“There’s a Starbucks, a Bank of America, and a boatload of stores to browse and shop, including the anchor Publix supermarket.

Construction in front of Bank of America on the sidewalk temporarily shut down the entrance in front of Starbucks, so be patient and turn at Peachtree Battle Avenue or before the Chevron gas station“

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

“Super cute deli style gyro spot. I got the baba ganoush with my lamb gyro and it was perfect. The right amount of smokiness and tang. There were a lot of sides to choose from and I am eager to try them all. Oh and the owners were the sweetest people.“

“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😅“

“Great restaurant and loved everything about this place.“

“I ordered our food online and we were so hungry that we ate it when we got there! Everything was very delicious!

“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.“

I love the lamb meatballs and falafel, roasted veggies, and their signature dressings are always a hit. Fast service, great portions, and super consistent every visit. Highly recommend!“
