50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Smyrna

“We dined with a fussy 5 year old who absolutely demolished hummus and chicken shawarma. The lamb tanjiya was seasoned perfectly and falling apart tender. Hibiscus and Mint tea are both delicious as well. 10/10 food, 12/10 friendly service“

“Hadn’t eaten at this restaurant before. Great service. ordered the grilled chicken salad. ( Spring mix, olives, banana peppers, tomato, feta crumbles, red onion, cucumber, came with a balsamic dressing along with a tzatziki style sauce. Large serving. Clean friendly atmosphere. Would eat here again.“

“Amazing food experience. Fresh!“

“amazing food and super friendly hostesses and servers. my family and I enjoyed ourselves and loved every single bite. ❤️“

“Delicious flavors, great ambiance, attentive staff. We will be back!“

“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!“

“Amazing food experience. Fresh!“

“Un lugar limpio y buen ambiente y excelente atención al cliente y muy sabrosa comida“

“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!“

“Wonderful meal! Loved the new decor and menu! 👍🏻👍🏻❤️“

“The best food I have tasted located in a gas station!!! Great lamb gyro and equally great is the fish sandwich“

“This is easily the best Cava in the metro Atlanta area. I've gone to several Cavas in Atlanta (Buckhead, Roswell, Sandy Springs, etc.) and none of them come close to the level of attentiveness and food quality that this location offers. I've been coming here for quite some time now (at least 1.5 years) and am always pleased with the outstanding service. The environment is clean, the staff is hospitable and gracious and the food is always on point.
The General Manager, Yoel, is one of the most genuinely good people I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with in any establishment I've frequented. He always greets me by name with a smile and he affords this same level of delightful interaction with every customer I see him interact with. He's also always hard at work leading his team by example whether its helping serve customers, working in the kitchen or sweeping the dining room. He's the kind of person i would hire in an instant if I had my own business, based off what I've seen from him.
They are doing an excellent job at this location and it shows by the frequent long lines and satisfied customers. This Cava is what every fast casual restaurant should strive to be like.“

“Delicious dishes and sandwiches and the service was great“

“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!“

“My seabass was delicious! The potatoes weren’t seasoned and the vegetables were charred terribly. The lamb chops weren’t edible so the salmon kabobs replaced them. That salmon and rice was to die for! The watermelon salad was tasty as well.“

“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!“

“Food is excellent. I am definitely going back“

“I just experienced this cafe for the first time and the food is AMAZING ! I enjoy the clearly labeled vegetarian options and possible allergens being easily viewed on the menu. I ordered the falafel gyro with stuffed grape leaves as a side and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite of it. You can taste the meal has a recipe that’s been perfected through time, love and care. This house made falafel will be getting ordered by me again and I am excited to try out the entire menu on my return visits !“

“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!!!“

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

“I tried this spot for the first time on August 30, 2019. I got the Gyro and the loaded fries. They were both delicious. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends. I can’t wait to go back.“

“Great restaurant and loved everything about this place.“

“The staff at this Cava location did an excellent job with their service. The food was quality, we were welcomed in, and they served quickly and with kindness from start to finish. If I lived closer, this would be my permanent Cava. Thanks for the excellent service! I’ll be back!“

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

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

“Amazing hookah & drinks. Intimate, yet spacious and always a great vibe with good music all night!“

“FABULOUS food! I’ve eaten in Greece, and this is authentic! Great service too…10 out of 10. Don’t miss out! 😋“

“Came here Saturday afternoon after hearing that they had some of the best hummus in Atlanta and WOW!!! They were spot on! The hummus is incredible and the pickled veggies it comes with were very special. The hummus came with pita bread which was the best pita bread I’ve ever tasted.

Their menu has 10” pizzas, sandwiches, and hummus bowls. Everything is made fresh to order and the staff were very courteous. I’m definitely coming back to try some of their sandwiches. The Hulk and Flying V are supposed to be very good and are vegan which is perfect for me! 100% worth checking out!“

“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.“

“First time at Cava and it was delicious! Had the Greek Pita and it was huge and enough to share!“

“Good first experience
We got lamb biryani and the chicken
It was great for what its worth. It took a bit longer than expected but its understandable for multiple orders being freshly made.
To compensate we were given tea, bread and veggie plate.“

“This is a great place! There really aren’t many Mediterranean options in the area unless you feel like driving far and I really enjoy the sujuk pita. Highly recommend you try that when you come. It’s like a Mediterranean fermented sausage (think chorizo, pepperoni, salami type sausages) that they chop up on a pita. It’s great.“

“Larry was very helpful!! Good service“

“New discovery 🤤. 2 orders this past week. Ordered chicken avocado bowl with power grains, brown rice pilaf and quinoa with geeens as the base. FOODIE APPROVED ‼ keep it up XENiA. Highly recommended, recommended to tons of friends as well. Both times were great. Malik prepared second order, both times made with love although I forgot who it said prepared the first time. Look forward to trying the other bowls in the near future.“

“Best place for food and fun , good food and friendly customer service“

“Food was fresh and delicious! Great atmosphere to dine in as well and they are very welcoming! Will definitely be going back to eat. Especially the Falafel!!“

“@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.“

“nice and fast and good customer service“

“I highly recommend this chain! It breaks up the monotony of the other quick service bowl restaurants. They offer unique seasonal options for sauces and I love that they will give you the sauce and dressings on the side and you can administer it yourself. Fell in love with the jerk sauce Summer 2025 and I can’t wait to stop by again to try what’s new for fall 2025. Smart concept, quick service, healthy food, and lastly, I love the fact that they offer MOUTHWASH in the restroom.“

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

“I had the Euro. It is as good or better than the ones I got in Europe. Delicious.“

“Went there for the time and wasn’t disappointed. Great service and great food. Will definitely go back.“

“Sahirah is a great place to grab some Indian food. I highly recommend the garlic naan. Other dishes such as lamb Kebab and curry are also very good plus the staff is so friendly they make feel welcome. Check them out at Politan Row At The Forum“

“No frills middle eastern and Indian food. Food is mid to decent (I had the chicken biryani) but portions are insane. For 12 bucks you get enough food for two people. If you're looking for cheap and non greasy food, I would check this place out!“

“the food is very good food here.“

“Friendly place. Fresh food. Good price. Reminds me of New york. Every time I'm in the area I hit this place up. I highly recommend trying them out. You will not be disappointed.“

“AMAZING STAFF! AMAZING SERVICE!!! I catered from them for the last day of my 4-day wedding and the experience leading up to the day of was smooth and very accommodating! William was great in working with my budget and the items I wanted as well as the timeframe to have the order ready. The morning of, there was some confusion on our end and we hit panic mode calling the restaurant thinking we were missing a whole tray. Lisa was absolutely a God-sent! She looked everywhere and checked with everyone to make sure the trays all left and even then started preparing another tray just in case. She could've easily said we sent it all and we're busy now. Her confidence and helpful nature saved the day! I would recommend working with this location on all your catering orders - they make it so easy and I don't even have to mention - THE FOOD IS A HIT WITH EVERYONE!!!!!“

“The best gyro I've had in years. Then I tried the steak kabab. I'm not going to be hungry for days. So so good. 5 stars and more.“

“Great food that we had catered for a company lunch. So fresh and absolutely delicious. Amazing 😋😋😋😋service as well.“
