12 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Cambridge

“We took a friend out to dinner at Oleana last night for her birthday and it was one of the best meals we’ve had. We loved being able to share and sample so many dishes, and each one was a masterful balancing of herbs, spices and flavors. The service was also top-notch. We can’t wait to return! It’s no surprise that it’s hard to get a reservation.“

“beautiful patio expansion "Moona Oasis" to accommodate more guests!“

“I enjoy Cava every day, but especially when I am on my way to an event! Jeff, Luz,&Cris are just a few of the employees that bring charisma and good customer service to the Cava Experience! Thanks for helping my stay healthy. PS the right rice is my fav!“

“Wow. Wow. What a discovery! I ordered delivery and expected something “okay”. I am left speechless. This was arguably the best meal I’ve had in a long time. Quality, quantity, taste - phenomenal...I had the Mediterranean mix which was a great sample of all different tastes. The rice (usually just fill in deliveries) was excellent with that slight bit of saffron coating it. Thank you!“

“Food was delicious, portions were generous, and the local delivery was so convenient! Will definitely order again soon.“

“The best Mediterranean food in Cambridge, I recommended this place, good food, good prices, and very nice customer service. Thank you ???“

“Small Cava in Harvard Square. It’s been my go to for the past 2 months whenever I drive into work.

My Order: brown rice, mini spinach/arugula mix, spicy chicken, sliced cucumbers with cut up broccoli, feta cheese, and light garlic dressing

Price: depending on what you ask (+tax) comes out to $12-$15. Most food places around the square are “pricey”, but Cava is definitely a HEALTHIER option than most places

One bowl alone gets me through for the rest of the day and for that, I’M THANKFUL!“

“My family and I were looking for a place to eat dinner and this was near where we parked, so we weren't looking for fine dining. Everything far exceeded our expectations. I would still consider the format to be fast-casual, but the atmosphere (served on beautiful ceramic plates!), service, and food quality were all many levels superior to other fast-casual places.“

“excellent Lamb Shank..topped it off with a fantastic rice pudding excellent service“

“Fresh and delicious food. Different than anything else around.“

“Amazing Greek dishes, the Octopus was the best I've ever had.“

“Went to "Dig Deep's Last Dance" and had an amazing time. The vibe was absolutely on point—chill crowd, friendly staff, and the house music hit the spot. I loved that there was no cover and no dress code; it made the whole night feel so laid-back but still packed with electric energy.

This spot definitely feels like a local gem, and I’m so glad I gave it a shot. Highly recommend checking it out if you ever get the chance!“
