25 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Darien

“Amazing experience. My husband is moroccan and hasn't ate his national dish in 6 months. We live in a small town with no moroccan cuisine. Owner was so friendly and gave best dishes. It was my first time trying moroccan food and it was such a lovely experience. We had Medina coucous with lamb shank (perfect texture and flavor), tatuka(with beets and carrots), kefta tagine,and moroccan tea. Everything was great. Highly recommend!“

“The food at this restaurant is absolutely amazing and packed with flavor! The service is top-notch, and the staff makes you feel right at home. If you're looking for a delicious dining experience, this place is a must-try. Highly recommended!“

“I ordered the lamb chops called in to ask what comes with the meal was told a grilled tomato and grilled onion which did not come with mine for some strange reason $28 I should have gotten everything anyway I can say that it was seasoned well however meet was a little chewy could have been more tender perhaps cooked a bit longer rice was good restaurant smelled like fish but I guess it's a seafood restaurant so I digress not the greatest but not bad“

“Tawook Dinner is AMAZING! Thank you Sam“

“Chicken shawarma is awesome. I did not like the meat shawarma is not something i would recommend at all, they used too many spices including cardamom which you cannot taste the meat. I enjoyed the chicken shawarma a lot. However, i have half of my meat shawarma and after I was feeling not good.
The service is nice and the people are friendly, prices are fine and the restroom is clean. They have a collection of soda and drinks, free parking.
Small couple tables not a big space but chill and clean.“

“Shaymaa is amazing! Her food is delicious, portions are generous, and her customer service is great! She makes an effort to work with your requests and make any adjustments to suit our family’s needs whenever we order. We especially love the chicken kabseh and the chicken shawarma sandwiches - but there isn’t an item we’ve ordered that we haven’t loved!!“

“Good food. very fresh and excellent flavor. clean and inviting atmosphere.“

“the best shawarma and mashawee in town. its very clean and they have professional staff.“

“This is my third time eating at Pita Pita. and I keep coming back for a reason! The first time, I had just the falafel, and it was the biggest—and best-tasting—falafel I’ve ever had. Every bite was packed with seasoning, and compared to other places in the area, this one stands out as the absolute best. On my second visit, I tried the mixed lunch, and it was simply delicious. The variety of meats, the creamy garlic sauce, and the refreshing salad with a hint of mint made for a healthy yet satisfying meal. The presentation was just as impressive as the flavors. Now, here I am again—two days in a row! Yesterday, I had lunch, and today, I’m back for dinner. This time, I ordered the mixed dinner, six falafels, and a side of that incredible garlic sauce. As I sit in my car taking photos of my meal, I can’t help but feel pure happiness. Five stars all around for both the food and the customer service! Pita Pita has officially earned my Golden Seal of Approval Award 🏆.“

“Had an amazing lunch!!! Food selection is amazing. I wound up with the Tuna Poke Bowl and it didn’t disappoint. Our waitstaff was attentive to detail. I am not a big dessert person when I go out, but the Key Lime Pie was calling our names. SOOOOO good!!! Thank you for a great meal. We will be back very soon.“

“I recently visited rhis restaurant and ordered the Mixed Grill. It came with chicken, kebab, and chunks of meat, all perfectly cooked. The sides of hummus and salad, along with the fresh bread, were delicious. The restaurant was spotless, and the owner was incredibly friendly. There's a great variety of dishes to try, and everything looked fantastic. Highly recommend it!“

“Excellent in every way! Meatball appetizer was superb!! Carbonerra was authentically made. Friendly, efficient service. Don't forget the Gelato and bread pudding. We will return!“

“I really enjoy Mediterranean food and this dish not disappoint. The trio of dips was super tasty and salmon and spinach salad good too and both were plenty to share between two for lunch and arrived to our table quickly. Pricing was reasonable too“

“Stopped here for breakfast, 1st time and I would definitely recommend it. The service was excellent and the food was great (real, fresh, hot, cooked to order)! I had the sampler with oatmeal pancakes and they were delicious!!! My other options included the chicken avocado crepe and Mediterranean omelette. The coffee was good, it came to the table in its own thermal to stay hot. I highly recommend!!“

“Why no one talk about there shawarma 🤷‍♂️
I love there beef shawarma wraps was just perfect
Order it my way 😉with tomato , pickles and tahini and some Shatta (spice )
The meat spiced up really well and juicy
Must try it to believe it 🙂Wow
I’m coming again to try more sandwiches
I usually get there amazing falafel, humus, foul as well is really good as well as there fresh bakery goods that just warms your heart 👍
Thanks to all staff for the great service you always provide and now you top it off with shawarma
You guys are amazing and you will be from now on is my new place for beef shawarma 😋“

“I'd been there before and it never disappoints! Menu has variety and unique items to try! Food and service were great! Manager is on top of his game. He reached out to check on our visit and to make sure all went well. Appreciated that. Only improvement to suggest is to have fountain soda. I assume they must just have bottled sodas since they don't offer free refills.“

“Enough variety in the menu to keep things interesting. Everything I've ever eaten here has been excellent including some truly amazing soups. The staff is wonderful. What more could anyone want in a restaurant? I love this place!“

“we are disappointed with our order. The food was cold, the falafel was not fresh, and you changed grilled kuba with fried kuba which was also overpriced, and the pit bread not fresh“

“This is a hidden find at the Oakbrook mall. There are many healthy menu options, and the portion size of my salmon selection was generous. There are happy hour prices that entice you to have a cocktail or appetizer when you aren't thinking that way, and 1/2 price wine bottles on Wednesdays. We were treated to a friendly and attentive server. I had not been here for over a year, and my most recent visit was great again.“

“Great food and great taste! Must try out every thing“

“They have really good food and the portions are worth the price!! Been there twice already.“

“Great food, 1st and foremost.... . Clean restaurant and the staff is always friendly. Love it/“

“my dad got me the philly cheese sandwich from this place, i loved it! meat was cooked perfectly and the cheese sauce added a great touch! excellent customer service! Khalid thank you for being so kind to my family! support this place everyone.“

“Absolutely outstanding! The food is extremely fresh and timing of the dishes during our visit was spot on. Our sever, Juan, took care to watch from afar and make sure our meal flowed. The busser was on his game as well! I don’t think my water ever fell below the halfway point. We enjoyed the Gyros ( a must try), prawns, mussels, potatoes, and saganaki. The portions were perfect. To be honest, we should have called it quits after the prawns but we couldn’t help our selves, it was just that good. Owner stopped by for a quick hello and welcome. He’s doing a fantastic job with this location and I do hope he continues to do well. Highly recommend Mana for both the food and ambiance.“
