45 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near La Grange

“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“

“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.“

“Fabulous food, drinks and service. The decor is modern and comfortable. Staff was very attentive and allowed us to stay after dinner and you didn't feel rushed. Lighting was lowered while we were there but that touch added to the ambiance. The meal was delicious and larger than expected at a fair price. We had burgers with roasted potatoes that were seasoned perfectly. Staff made sure we had water as compared to many establishments where you have to ask for a glass of water. Will return to try other items on the menu. Parking on the street and in a lot which you can access in the middle of the block was nice.“

“I never had kabobs presented on skewers like at Reef Kabob; such fun! Excellent hummas and tabular salad. The most gracious staff!“

“My husband and I were very impressed with the food. It's made fresh and is delicious. The fries tasted great and were not greasy. My husband had a huge delicious hamburger that he couldn't finish in one sitting. I had the steak shawarma which I enjoyed very much. We sat outside because the weather was perfect for it. The people working there were friendly and polite. We were definitely impressed.“

“Honestly these are the best shawarma in the neighborhood I love them anyone I take here always has nothing but good things to say about the food, the atmosphere is very inviting and the staff is very nice. I recommended the food to everyone that visits Chicago. I love it.“

“We had a good experience while celebrating a friend's birthday. The staff adeptly managed our large group with grace and humor. The courses were well timed, the perfect temperature, aromatic and flavorful. Our only minor complaint was the 1 hour wait to be seated, and they don't take reservations. Perhaps they can offer tea to those who are waiting? As they grow, a separate prayer space would be a welcome addition.“

“Wedding soup is spot on! had the lamb chops absolutely delicious! We Highly recommend you!!! Derek and Anna“

“KJ IS THE BEST! I feel as if he would save my family from a burning building, save a drowning puppy in the middle of the ocean, stop a car from hitting an elderly couple. His overwhelming customer service made me smile for the first time in over 50 years. A true great young man cava has on their team!
Give him a raise“

“I was scrolling Grubhub then decided I deserved better than fast food that’s going to be delivered cold. So went to Google and saw this place which I pass almost everyday without thought. I wish I caught my waiters name but he was a pleasure and very attentive. The fried octopus was unique and flavorful. Short rib wasn’t as tender as advertised but still quite delicious. I got a sample of the lobster bisque which honestly tasted like tomato soup to me. The bread pudding was excellent. I appreciate the balance and gelato on top. I got the mezcal cocktail which was also great. Also ordered tequila on the rocks. I was given a complimentary shot of the pistachio martini which was delicious. Overall ambience was lovely. You can have a great date night right in the burbs. Who knew? Overall, can’t wait to visit again to try different apps and their pasta. All of that was around $140 including 20% tip.“

“Delightful food choices that are always tasty“

“La Parra is an authentic restaurant. Each time I go, I try something different, because I know they won't disappoint me. Everything tastes great and the staff are extremely attentive.“

“My husband and I had an amazing dinner experience at Autre Monde! Exceptional service, excellent food, and delicious desert! Cannot wait to come back!“

“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!!“

“My friend got a platter and shawarma sandwiches It was delicious 10/10 I recommend“

“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.“

“The shawarma is my favorite thing on the menu 👍“

“saw it as driving to get my car wash & decided to check it out / went thru drive thru got the bowl chicken and steak it was delicious“

“homestyle burgers, very clean and delicious food. mom and pop shop. I’d rather give them my business than a big chain any day!“

“Perfect taste and super service 😍“

“I just picked up falafel and baba ghanouj and it has to be the best falafel I’ve ever had. I was coming back from Skokie and I wanted to go to Pita Inn on Dempster and it was too busy but I did not miss anything - this is better!“

“Petra Falafel is my favorite Middle Eastern restaurant in the area. Their chicken shawarma platter is a masterpiece, and the garlic, jalapeno, and habanero sauces are very tasty, be sure to order extras! Their portions are generous, often leaving me with leftovers for at least another full meal. The staff is always friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. We always order for pick up, but they do have a dining area and I believe they are also BYOB. Next time you are craving falafel, baba ghanoush or shawarma give Petra Falafel a try - you will not be disappointed!“

“My partner and I enjoyed a delightful weekday evening dinner, and the experience was extraordinary from the moment we sat down. The flavors and aromas were so inviting, they hit us even before the main dish arrived. We started with Mazza, which featured the creamiest hummus and a smoky, perfectly roasted eggplant baba ghannooj. The falafels were the highlight—simply the best I've ever had, like the perfect cherry on top of a sundae. As for the Mansaf, it was nothing short of exceptional. The rich yogurt sauce, tender lamb, crunchy almonds, and flawlessly cooked rice made for a dish that was out of this world. It was so good, I couldn't resist having the leftovers for breakfast the next day. The service was top-notch, and even though we live over two hours away, we’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Hello Shawarma is literally the best shawarma I've had yet, and I've tried a ton of places. The shawarma here is incredible, the wraps are flavorful and the bread is always fresh!
You can tell everything is made with high quality ingredients. The portions are very generous and the flavors are authentic.
If you’re looking for amazing shawarma this is the spot. This is my go-to place for the best wraps, pita, and baguettes.“

“I love alasala the food is wonderful and super clean. It feels like im eating in jordan with the fresh ingredients and amazing seasonings.

I would highly recommend ordering the lamb tagine, roasted potatoes and the Harrira soup. Honestly everything was amazing , we will definitely be coming back.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Lunch: One of the best Cubano sandwiches I've ever had. Friends were quite satisfied with their salads and desserts (cheesecake and banana bread pudding). My chocolate layer cake was tasty. Very generous portion sizes and fantastic service.“

“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!!“

“This is the best middle eastern restaurant I’ve ever had. The food is amazing, the proportions are huge (unlike most Arab restaurants I’ve tried in the Midwest). And the atmosphere with the traditional clothing stands out and makes Al-Bawadi one-of-a-kind. Got the mixed grill and Lemon mint drink 1000000/10.“

“is a good place for eat healthy.“

“It was weekday afternoon, not crowded at all, and service was extremely slow. After our order was taken, it took a while, and food came out lukewarm. We let the server know, he replaced the fries. I've never had that happen and was quite surprised at the service. Not sure what was going on.“

“Hooray - Finally reopened to total YUM!“

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

“So I’ve been at this place a lot of times and it’s great! The food is great but the wings are a bit too salty and yea it’s great. Sometimes the workers ignore you but it’s not that deep. I love that there is some comedy to watch. But the place is real crowded on the weekend so e sure to come early. There isn’t that much outlets as well for me to charge my phone.“
