50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Brookline

“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+.“

“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“

“Always a great experience!“

“Quick service, excellent delicious food and generous portions.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

“This place is a dream! Thank you for the great service, delicious food, and wonderful time! Will be coming back again soon and telling all my friends about it. I had the pesto pasta as a vegetarian, so happy with all their different options. Desserts a must! Try them out!

Vegetarian options: Yes, great options.“

“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!“

“We we order from Stardust for my mother’s 91st birthday party. The food was fabulous. The falafel were so light and wonderful. All of the meats disappeared immediately-so flavorful and tender-and the vegetables were great for both vegetarians and mediators. Truly a great experience.“

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

“Always delicious food.Always friendly staff. Very nice food at a great value.“

“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 .“

“Really adorable little restaurant with a gorgeous lit patio and ramp access.

The meat was very tasty, and I enjoyed the Eggs and Akkawi Cheese Manousheh. I didn’t like the hummus. It was missing some of the intense flavors I’ve come to appreciate in good hummus. Very bland.

The staff were friendly.

Parking is impossible here. It’s not a place to drive to.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp access.“

“Always delicious. Thank you.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“I was here with a couple of friends from work , the food was amazing and the atmosphere was super chill, service was fast and customer service was the best … I’ll def be coming back when I visit Boston“

“I knew this place from Too Good To Go Apps.
I ordered the surprise bag and received shawarma rice with chicken.
It was a good deal since I only paid for $7ish
The food was delicious, and there were plenty tables for you to enjoy dinner with your friends.
And the food was halal.“

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

“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.“

“Very Energetic! Bartender was fantastic“

“Celebrated many occasions here at Trade. Staff are always very friendly and takes care of you very well :) food is amazing and wine is even better.

Perfect for a date, birthday celebration, and to get that “NYC restaurant” feeling in Boston downtown :)“

“I had my mind set on the Avgolemono (Greek Lemon Chicken Soup) all day and it did not disappoint. The grilled octopus was arguably best I’ve ever had. If haven’t dined in the North Woburn location, what are you waiting for? #Ward6“

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

“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“

“Decided to stop in after shopping around at Legacy Place to try for the first time and it was a great experience. The staff was patient and everyone was so helpful and still worked quick to get thru everyone in line. Special shoutout to Victor who gave me a free drink and stopped by our table to check in on us.“

“Absolutely great food and service.“

“A birthday meal that meal me AWAY“

“Best wrap I ever had. By far. First time coming here and I'll be sure to come back.“

“Have eaten here several times over the past year. The food has always been delicious, absolutely fresh (the tabouleh tastes made-to-order) and overall have enjoyed the experience. Yes, it's a one-man show and sometimes the food takes longer than what you usually expect, but it's been worth the wait. Will definitely return.“

“Great delicious food, top notches fresh ingredients, extremely friendly welcoming staff. great value for the money.“

“Tried for first time today. Got a Fattuosh salad that was just salad. Used to toasted pita mixed in this style salad. was disappointed“

“Great 1st experience! We chose it because we spent a few weeks in Greece this summer and wanted a reminder. The food was very, very good. The server was super helpful and very nice/funny. The whipped feta and olives were a great starter and the linguine and clams were tasty! Overall a great Mediterranean meal!“

“This place is great! It's the Chipotle of homemade Greek food in that you point out everything you want on your gyro, dinner, or salad. The pitas for the gyro are made fresh, i.e., fresh dough is run through a pita cooker, right in front of you, and they come out soft and hot. The lamb seems to be braised (rather than shaved as has been standard on previous gyros I've had) and is delicious, and one gyro fed two of us perfectly. They don't serve booze, but the food is so good and right for the price, who needs it?!“

“I’m eating the Chicken Skewer bowl as we speak and for 14$ , it’s delicious and incredible value for your buck . Worth a 10 minute wait .tender Chicken It’s all full flavored and fresh , very fluffy rice and excellent hummus.
I’ll def be back .“

“Love the salad and the staff ;)“

“clean friendly and the food is outstanding“

“This was the perfect lunch meal when you wanted something a bit refreshing, semi healthy, and tasty. Their lentil rice with zataar chicken bowl hit the spot. The flavor combination was great, and you feel good just eating it. They are pretty quick to prepare the meal.“
