29 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Louisville

“The extremely helpful and polite staff were a true delight. The coffee shop made me a “black eye”, which was strong and delicious. Art work throughout ranged from elegant to eclectic, but all pieces were beautiful. The rooftop bar is the jewel, with outdoor seating, spectacular views, and comfortable conversation spaces.“

“Amazing food and service! If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean food, The Charcoal Restaurant is a must try!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

“We enjoyed spectacular unique food & delicious cocktails with a nice atmosphere. Our server was phenomenal.“

“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!“

“I love their falafel wraps and sweet potato fries! Also very pleased that they are taking the mask thing seriously in this age of Coronavirus, thank you!“

“Slightly expensive but worth it due to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The dining staff smiles and greets customers in a manner that makes them feel valued. Eric provides the best service taking care of customer needs in the dining area on Tuesdays. The food portion and taste is the best amongst the other Tazikis locations in the region. I give it 2 snaps up and a bing bong.“

“Taziki's is a wonderful Mediterranean restaurant! It has a spacious protected outdoor eating area with plenty of seating of various varieties in the main dining area. You can get a table for two for an intimate meal, a booth that can easily hold six people, or a dinning table for a party of twelve. The food portions are generous for the price and is tasty and freshly prepared. The service was very quick for the time you ordered to when your food was brought to you table. This is a top notch Mediterranean restaurant that offers a relaxed dining atmosphere which I highly recommend! 👍🏼“

“delicious food, large portions, perfectly prepared. amazing staff.“

“I ordered the Spicy Chicken Kabob with mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables—and it was fantastic! The spice level was just right—not too overpowering but enough to give it a nice kick. the service was quick and friendly. If you’re looking for a healthier meal or something flavorful and satisfying. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“The Fat Lamb was fantastic in every way. It was a true culinary delight. We had a large group, so we were able to sample multiple appetizers and entrees. They were all fantastic. Some highlights included the whipped feta dip, truffle fries, cauliflower, and meatballs for appetizers. For entrees, more than half of our group had the lamb chops. The lamb chops were sensational - the best lamb dish I've ever had and one of the top 10 dishes of my life. The service was great as well. The restaurant is not inexpensive, but it is well worth the money. Thank you for a wonderful evening we will remember.“

“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“

“Consistently favorable, reliable and healthy food located conveniently on Frankfort Avenue.“

“great cooked to order, fresh and delicious foods 😋 😍“

“Little Greek Review:
4600 Shelbyville Rd #402, Louisville, KY 40207

We ordered a Gyro Pita and Chicken Skewers (Souvlaki) from the Light Meal selections, which came with pita bread and a Greek salad.

*Note: My 11-year-old, in exalted excitement about how good this restaurant was, wrote most of this review. I edited for spelling & grammar, but he wrote the bulk of it. Proud mom moment!

Restaurant Atmosphere: 4.5 Stars
Great atmosphere with lots of paintings and a very good layout of the tables, drink fountain, and ordering counter. The restrooms needed a little bit of love – the light switch in the men's restroom was unresponsive and detached from the wall, and the women’s restroom had no toilet paper or paper towels available, but the restaurant itself had a great atmosphere.

Food Appearance: 5 Stars
The food came out looking great! It was arranged well on the plate and looked so good that we took photos of it before we could eat it.

Taste: 5 Stars
Fresh, Crisp, Delicious, a perfect amount of sauce already in the Gyro Pita. The chicken skewers meal was grilled and well-flavored. The Greek salad contained beets and bell peppers, which was different on a typical Americanized Greek salad, but the flavor combination was delicious.

Customer Service: 5 Stars
The associate at the counter was super nice, and didn't mess up our order one bit! The food was delivered directly to our table a few minutes after we ordered.

Little Greek also has a wide variety of choices to choose from.

Vegetarian options: There are options on the menu which are vegetarian, such as a grilled vegetable bowl, a veggie pita, and a spinach pie (though that option is likely made with eggs, so it depends on if eggs are part of your diet). However, the focus of this place is not vegetarian/vegan, so there are mostly meat options and a lot of meat served.

Dietary restrictions: There is a "light meals" option for those looking for better choices.

Parking: Plenty of parking. This restaurant is in a shopping center.

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space between tables to maneuver a stroller. Kids menu. High chairs and booster seats available.“
