20 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near New Albany

“Don’t be sleeping on Aladdin's Mediterranean / Middle Eastern Cuisine located in downtown New Albany. Admittedly, it had been like 8 years since I have last patronized, which I regret! It was very delicious! Price point good. Portions were big. Friendly service and didn’t take long to get our food, despite it being Friday night. the Aladdin’s Steak Sandwich and it was amazing. The steak was cooked perfectly! I was full after eating only the sandwich. We also had the gyro bowl, the lamb melted in your mouth and the rice texture was on point. Not under/over cooked, not gummy. Even if you are unsure about liking this type of cuisine, just give it a try. I will be going back very soon. They seemed to have a pretty steady carryout line, so that’s always an option too! 10/10 recommend!“

“Excellent food! We started with an order of kibee as an appetizer. It was wonderful: flavorful, with a nice crunch but savory filling in the center. I had a lamb/beef gyro for dinner. It was amazing. We will be back!“

“I love the Louisville location so much, I wish they would open in Etown. They would do so well here, families are craving good food in Etown, everyone is sick of greasy hamburgers. The portions were great, freshness was great and the food was so tasty! I travel 45 minutes each way for the food!“

“The best hummus, the best shawarma, the best garlic sauce. I’m really glad I stumbled upon this downtown Louisville gem, I’m a customer for life!“

“Highly Recommend!!!!! This restaurant has the BEST Gyros in this state. They compare to the restaurants in Manhattan NY. Come out & Enjoy 😃“

“Best place to go to for Halal food, the owner is the best. They never got my order wrong but one time they did and fixed it for me the very moment. I ordered three philly cheesesteaks 12 inches and got chicken instead of beef and only realized that once i got home, called the owner and he was not hesitant at all in replacing my order! Props to the owner! Very nice guy and place overall!“

“Friendly servers. Food was delicious. Casual environment in warm settings.“

“Let’s start with atmosphere. It was well kept with nice decor but I wouldn’t consider it fancy. We ordered the lebnah, liver mousse, and tuna tar tar. The mousse was the clear favorite out of the 3 amongst us. The tar tar was a bit over seasoned with chili or cumin. For the main, we got chicken shawarma and lamb meguez. They were quality and well cooked, but lacking that pop for the price. Overall, I would recommend this place to friends and family for its variety and ethnic background. However, it is a bit pricey.“

“So thankful to have a Mediterranean cuisine option on the IN side of the river. I stopped in today for a quick lunch and enjoyed every minute from the delicious food to the outstanding hospitality 🤩 Can't wait to go back! Only complaint is that I could've eaten a bigger portion of baklava 🤣“

“Wonderful food and great atmosphere;)“

“From the outside, The Fat Lamb looks modest, but inside it’s all modern Mediterranean flair meets Kentucky hospitality.

I started with Brussels sprouts dressed in pomegranate molasses and chilies, sweet, spicy, and perfectly balanced. The lamb was cooked to perfection, complemented by a smoky black BBQ sauce that let the meat shine. Finished with their award-winning Nutella mascarpone mousse, llight, airy but still a little too rich for me.

Service was exceptional, attentive without pretension, and every dish felt thoughtful and purposeful. Only downsides: parking can be tricky“

“I was having the absolute worst day, so I ordered dinner, and it was so good, I honestly felt better. Never underestimate the healing properties of a really good meal, and this is the place to get the best Louisville has to offer.“

“Our first time going here and definitely not our last. The food was simply amazing and the service was excellent. Hubby and I shared the cheese sticks , he ordered the chicken pasta (that’s not the exact name ) and I ordered the shrimp and grits with the fried okra on the side. We tend to be picky eaters but wanted to step out of our comfort zone and we are so glad we did. Literally some of the most delicious food we ever had. We even ordered dessert ! I got the beignets cause why not and my husband got the banana cheesecake. 10/10 recommend“
