50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Belmont

“I loved every single bite! I used to frequent “Andros” and was so bummed when it closed. I’m so glad “My Other Kitchen” is here—especially with the same salad dressing which is amazing on its own! I plan to eat my way through their menu—everything looks scrumptious! ❤️“

“This place is beyond amazing. The food is made with love and the owner is beyond accommodating and polite! Love Ani’s!“

“Great experience dining here. Today is the 5th time in the past 3 weeks. The food is prepared to order and is superb and full of flavor! The chef is also the owner and he does an awesome job! He came out the last time to say hello and thanked us for our patronage. The wait staff are super friendly and are attentive to you, eager to satisfy. I've had the swordfish special the last two times and it was really fresh and very flavorful, my father had the lamb shank and he loved it! If you have a food allergy, the chef is very effective in completely omitting that ingredient and is so good in his profession that he is able to whip up a flavorful substitute. It is not always that you find a restaurant that knows how to prepare duck confit properly and if you love lamb shank, look no further.“

“Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“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.“

“First visit today, although we live somewhat in the neighborhood and I am already kicking myself for not having got here sooner. Red tabbouleh spicing was very punchy and vivid. Allspice in the stuffed grape leaves make them worth coming back for, not something I think I've ever said about stuffed grape leaves before. Most unforgettable was the red lentil soup with its soft rich velvety texture over two or three layers of different delicious flavors. Great first impression, can't wait to go back, solid A leaning toward A+.“

“These pancakes are pure perfection — light, cloud-like, and melt-in-your-mouth soft ☁️🥞
The texture is so airy it almost feels unreal, and that gentle jiggle? Absolute satisfaction.
Perfectly balanced sweetness, golden edges, and a buttery aroma that makes you fall in love at first bite. 💛

If comfort had a flavor, this would be it.
10/10 — a masterpiece on a plate.“

“Delicious food and great ambiance! We will come back!“

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

“Great food!! Always fresh and good. Thanks Matt for all your help!“

“Always a great experience!“

“Best Mediterranean food I've had in decades. Everything was delicious. Couldn't be better. I had the kofra kebab plate, ground beef with lamb, rolled and fried, salad, hummus, garlic sauce and tabouli. Look it up. I'm probably not touching it all the great aspects of it. Every part of it was exceptional, full of freshness and taste, each part distinctive in taste and presentation from another part. Not the usual commodification of Mediterranean food present in most imitative restaurants. So many spots are predictable, bland, food feeling like it sat around waiting to be served and unremarkable in every way. Not here. A full size salad, bright, light tastes with just the right amount of a delicate dressing. Not just the typical hunks of greens and ingredients thrown together with no soul and doused in some soybean oil based imitation.It was not the thick flour pita pocket that despite rips apart when you try to lightly stuff it with your salad or grape leaves or tabouli, despite being the thickness of baseball glove leather. This pita pocket was as thin as it could be, not the chewy baseball glove we usually get, yet completely resilient. It held everything I stuffed into it.“

“Tucked away in a quiet corner, The Hummus Shop in Boston is a hidden gem you shouldn’t miss. Don’t let its small size fool you—this place delivers big on flavor. The vegan and vegetarian dishes are absolutely fantastic, with everything tasting incredibly fresh and well-prepared. The staff are warm, polite, and make you feel right at home. Prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. Be sure to try their spicy pumpkin sauce—it’s unique, flavorful, and elevates any dish on the menu. A must-visit spot for anyone who loves wholesome, delicious food.“

“The cheese pizza (Quattro Formaggi) has to be one my Top 3 pizzas. Very tasty.“

“If you are looking for outstanding authentic Egyptian food please try Kushari. The food made to order is consistently delicious and service is over the top. Plenty of free parking is another bonus!“

“Food and value can't be beat! That being said, I strongly reccomend to order in-person rather than online. I've consistently found that going into the store will actually get you your food faster, and with larger portions to boot.“

“We've found our new take out favorite spot! We've been ordering from here for two days straight, and for good reason. This place is a hidden gem in West Roxbury. Every dish is fresh and flavorful, and their menu offers a wonderful variety of options. The portions are very generous too. Plus the owner/chef is friendly and clearly the real deal. You have got to try it.“

“The food is incredible! I would give them 6 stars if I could!

After driving past this restaurant a gazillion times, I said, " You know we have to try that restaurant out" and finally we did and at a very busy time around seven . They didn't have any tables available as this restaurant is small and came at peak hour but we managed to get a couple seats at the bar. We had the best baba ghanoush, the lamb, Adana, and chicken kebab..,it was delicious!!!!!! the salad was delicious too! And the pistachio Halva dessert was divine with goat ice cream! The main thing is our meal was fresh! They were also a lot of takeout orders so I think this restaurant is a no-brainer for me. If I need to entertain people, I will probably order a bunch of kebabs from them and know the quality would be fabulous because it's small. It was a little hectic when I was there since food was being passed along the table with an empty stool next to me at the bar. But I get it. It's busy! I would like to come in when it's a little quieter maybe around five I have a more calming dining experience!“

“I wanna say thank you to the Jana Grill restaurant for the delicious food! I really liked the Armenian kebab, the restaurant is cozy and comfortable. There was an event on this day, but this did not affect the service time, there were a lot of people and i want to say thank you to Dmitry, sorry if i misspelled your name, this is a waiter in a black shirt who helped me with the choice from the menu, especially with dessert it was delicious, very good service! I will definitely return to you. Thanks to the owner of this restaurant for such staff I will recommend this restaurant to everyone!“

“Excellent service, food was delicious and smoothies to die for!“

“Wow what delicious and amazing food!! We had chicken gyros which were perfect and flavorful. This is the best Greek food I’ve had before and we had an amazing experience. Everything on the menu is appetizing and is set a good prices and good proposition. Definitely recommend to everyone 👍🏼“

“Excellent and friendly service, food and environment 👍🏼“

“Hi , I went for lunch and Jesus Morales was a very friendly employee he greet me and serve me well his a good customer service person .“

“Absolutely delicious. We had the Falafel sandwich, rice and spinach/feta pie. So good. Fast friendly service. Will definitely come back!!!“

“Five of us went for an early dinner. Everything was exceptionally fresh and delicious. The pita bread is to die for. We ordered Latkes (nice and crisp, very good); chicken shawarma (delicious-- love the pickled vegetables in the pita sandwich); the lamb burger (my husband can't stop talking about how good it was); the hummus bowl, and the street cart rice bowl. In short, everything was excellent AND affordable (something that rarely happens in the Boston area these days). We will be coming back, frequently. Be advised that the setting is more like a cafeteria than a restaurant, simple and modest, where you walk up to the counter to order. They have a few drinks where you can add a shot of alcohol but that's not their focus.“

“great food, friendly service, dog friendly patio.“

“Delicious food. Great service. With a great balance of healthy and tasty offerings.“

“They have an amazing and fresh falafel I've ever had in Boston!“

“The food was delicious, the staff was friendly and very helpful with menu items… recommend if in the neighbourhood“

“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!“

“Not only was the Baba , Peach Gazpacho and chicken Shastish delish , but Chef David took the time to chat with us in 100 degree weather and served us a sample of his staffs lunch he was preparing for them today ...his moms fav dish when he was a kid... THE MESSY SANDWICH ! Homemade Crispy BLT , heirloom tomato with a hit of peanut butter . Hope he puts it on the menu someday but more importantly know he's "the real deal" born and raised New England cool, creative and genuine - cheers to you Chef David !!!“

“Pretty solid. Fast and fresh. Just wish it was spicier and had fetta and olives. I got the chicken shawarma wrap. Little pricey but very expensive space to rent lease or own so i get it.

Spitting distance from north station“

“I ordered yesterday (June 13) a variety of sandwiches in different sizes from Putterham Grille for a 12-person event, and everyone was genuinely impressed! The quality of the food exceeded our expectations — fresh ingredients, generous portions, and great flavors. It was clear that care went into each sandwich, and the variety kept everyone happy. I highly recommend.“

“The decor was cozy, yet elegant. Staff was friendly and engaging, helping us with the menu and suggestions. Each dish we ordered was beautiful presented and tasted as great as it looked. And the drinks were delish! Had a amazing time catching up with old friends there.“

“Years ago, when I was a student in Boston, I met Osman in a Turkish restaurant. He was kind, hardworking, and always full of warmth. Seeing him now as the owner of this wonderful Turkish restaurant filled me with pride and gratitude. Osman’s hospitality, generosity, and genuine heart was into every detail of this place, from the warm welcome at the door to the last bite of dessert. And the food is absolutely phenomenal. Every dish has authentic flavors of Turkey, perfectly seasoned, beautifully presented, and made with love. From the tender kebabs to the fresh mezes and perfectly flaky baklava, it was a feast in every sense. You can feel the care and tradition in every bite. This restaurant isn’t just a place to eat; it’s a place to feel at home, to celebrate friendship, and to savor life. Thank you, Osman, for creating such a beautiful space. We’ll definitely be back! ❤️“

“I love Trade! I’ve been there twice; once a few years ago and then again this week. I’ve been with coworkers both times who enjoy eating varied foods. Sharing appetizers and ordering multiple “rounds” is a perfect setup for a group. Each dish was so good in its own way. The octopus was perfectly grilled and seasoned, the honey nut squash was well seasoned and interesting, the feta baked in phyllo was outstanding, and overall everything was great. Can’t wait to get back to Boston and go again!“

“Overall pretty solid. Had the spicy chicken plate and the chicken shawarma gyro with garlic yogurt. Only critique is that the fries were really bland and soggy and the prices were a little high. But if the prices look ok to you, just avoid the fries and you'll be good!“

“I was looking for a good falafel place in the Watertown neighborhood, and stumbled upon this gem of a place.The owners are very polite and gentle.Definitely recommend the falafel combo; some of the best I've had in recent times in around Boston“

“Always delicious. Thank you.“

“Our experience with BonaPita was exceptional! I ordered on behalf of my company (for about 20 people) and they answered all of my questions, were able to make our rather last minute order for the weekend event, followed up to ensure everything was sent correctly, AND I was told the food was incredible. Thank you for making the process such a smooth experience and delivering delicious food to be enjoyed by all!

We ordered and enjoyed:
The falafel meal
The Salmon Meal
Fruit Platter
Cookie Tray“
