50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Burlington

“Absolutely delicious bowl! Braised lamb was scrumptious! Terrible service though. This was my first time ever at the restaurant and as you would expect I was taking a long time reviewing all the options and deciding what to get. The lady who made my bowl looked quite annoyed with how long I was taking. Not one smile, just exasperation. Phenomenal food, with a side of attitude.

I will definitely come back but, no clue why service people so grumpy. Place wasn’t even busy.

Kinda pricey though. $17.50, wasn’t a heaping bowl. Delicious though“

“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.“

I will definitely return to you. Thanks to the owner of this restaurant for such staff I will recommend this restaurant to everyone!“

“Absolutely Outstanding — The Best Middle Eastern Restaurant I’ve Found in the US!

I first tried this restaurant about five months ago, and I can honestly say it has become my favorite place to eat — period.

The first time I came, I ordered the lamb kabab. Being originally from the Middle East, I know what authentic Middle Eastern food should taste like, and I can confidently say this is the best lamb kabab I have ever had in the United States. It was incredibly authentic, perfectly prepared, and absolutely delicious.

The taste was so authentic that, literally, one bite took me back about 20 years to the flavors I remember from back home. That is something very special. I honestly never expected to find that kind of authentic Middle Eastern taste here in the US.

After that first visit, I came back four more times, and every single visit has been a wonderful experience. The food has been consistently excellent every time.

And it’s not just the main dishes. They also make a variety of fresh juices and specialty drinks. I recently tried their Istanbul drink, and oh my God — it was wonderful! The rose water and the combination of flavors were absolutely amazing. The flavor is hard to even describe because it is so unique and delicious. It was definitely something I had to try, and I’m glad I did.

The bread is incredibly fresh, and the salad they serve at each table is also so fresh and delicious. You can tell that quality and freshness really matter here.

The owners are wonderful, and the staff is extremely nice, polite, welcoming, and professional. You genuinely feel the hospitality from the moment you walk through the door.

And on top of all of that, the food is HALAL. Great authentic Middle Eastern food, fresh ingredients, amazing drinks, wonderful service, and halal food — honestly, who can beat this place?

I should also mention that I am extremely picky when it comes to food. It takes a lot to convince me when it comes to taste and quality. I don’t give compliments easily when I’m not completely satisfied. But this restaurant has impressed me every single time I’ve visited.

I’m telling you, if you are looking for authentic, delicious, high-quality Middle Eastern cuisine, you will have a very hard time finding a restaurant like this anywhere in the state. The food tastes authentic, the quality is excellent, the staff is wonderful, and the hospitality is outstanding.

Five visits and five wonderful experiences — and I will definitely be back again.

This is my best place for dining, period.

If you love Middle Eastern food, do yourself a favor and give this place a try. I highly, highly recommend it!“

“First time in the city and this was an amazing dinner for us. The food is delicious.“

“Akhi i’ve never had a better shawarma in my life, very hospitable and kind unlike many other places in boston, atmosphere was cozy and some relaxing oud music was playing made me feel right at home, next time i’m in Boston its 100% going to be my next go-too spot, 10/10 recommendation can’t get much better!“

“The dishes are so intentional. You can tell there is a lot of love and thought that went into each dish. The cornbread and scotch eggs are divined!“

“Great service, kind staff, good food - we enjoy coming to a cava when in the area. Bathroom and sitting area could have used some much needed maintenance.
Might be best for walking, Lyft, or bike - as parking on a Sunday can get difficult to find.“

“This was the BEST DISH my son and I had at the "3rd Annual New Bedford Food Truck and Craft Beer Festival" held on September 14, 2019. The flavors were amazing and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We look forward to seeing you at future events. 😊“

“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!“

“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 tried your cafe’ for the first time and I was blown away by the taste, quality and price for the amount of food I received. I ordered the Shawarma Chicken Wrap w/tahini sauce, so tasty, the chicken was moist to perfection and I absolutely love the cucumber pickles. For desert I ordered the Kunafa, took it home and warned it up and my oh my! so so yummy!! I can’t wait to go again and try their other items.“

“We knew we wanted Magic Bites to cater our family event and we were so pleased that we did! Atilla and Elif were helpful and patient planning the menu and everything was top notch delicious. They knew we had some allergies in the family and they made an extra effort to create large labels with all ingredients. I highly recommend them!!“

“Eleni’s is as delicious as it is elegant! The perfect spot for a lunch or dinner date. The food is fresh and high quality, and the cocktails are 10/10!“

“One of our favorite restaurants! We love going there for the friendly service and delicious kababs.“

“First off the food here is absolutely AMAZING! The lamb is cooked to perfection, the chicken is flavorful and the greek soup always hits the spot. Not to mention the owner bakes his OWN BREAD that is served at the table with oil, spices and feta! Ughhhh ❤ prices are so reasonable, environment is super relaxing and the owner is fully part of the team assisting in anyway he can! if you want authentic greek food, this is your spot.“

“The best steak tips around!! No doubt in my mind. Better than mine! Great rice and hummus as well! The staff is all friendly and they take pride in their food. Love the pizza but the other food is just as good which I never really find.“

“Love it amazing amazing amazing“

“Kind of a basic set up to eat in. Not much decor in this one compared to some of their other locations. The man behind the counter greeted me with a smile, I think I caught his name, Cordel! Welcoming me to Flavor BOOM! And it was flavorful! A new favorite place to stop at now.“

“Delish dinner. Swordfish & fresh vegetables. Scrumptious tart for dessert!“

“Its a very good Cava.
Only one time our food wan't good at any cava (in south Carolina) . This location in Assembly row is really good though. I usually make my own custom wrap/pita, and for me its large enough that I have half there and take half with me.

The only complaint i have is they need more seeting. The previous tenant at this location and a decent sized kitchen/cooking area AND more seating. I think they probably could/should look into getting more seating and more space between the booths.“

“We visited on a Saturday with a table for 3. The food was delicious, especially the grilled octopus. The food came out kind of slowly, but that may be due to the cooking process. They also have a delicious homemade garlic paste, which they sell separately as well.

They have parking for the restaurant on site, and they have karaoke with a live band on weekends. We would definitely go back, especially for the grilled octopus!“

“Amazing food ❤️ lovely people and the best cocktails“

“Last stop on the chocolate tour!! Little Greek donuts were divine😋💕“

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

“This place is really awesome. I am Greek and I love it. Restaurant is clean and updated. The service is excellent, and the owner is very nice- always remembering my family when we come in. Food is fresh and tasty. We all git something different and we all enjoyed what we got.“

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

“Closest I've come to tasting authentic Greek food compared to actually being in Greece is here. The food is phenomenal. I'm all about eating quality foods and let me tell you, this is nothing short of top-tier quality. Absolutely love this place and can't wait to keep coming back!“

“Always a good experience at Noor! Quality is superb, even when ordering delivery. My favorite plate is the Lule Plate, and the staff can accommodate any requests for substitutions/add ons. I have never left Noor as an unhappy customer! Arsen and team go above and beyond every time.“

“Paulo. (The star of the show in my opinion) is fantastic his vivacious and friendly energy just adds to the atmosphere here. He really seems like a good time guy. And I appreciate how often he checks in on our table to make sure we’re satisfied and need anything. GIVE THIS MAN A RAISE!“

“Casual atmosphere. Very welcoming and customer oriented. The owner was on site and came out to greet us. One of our dishes were not as expected.It was quicky redone and both our server and owner checked with us to be sure it was to our liking .My wife had a number of appetizers, the spinach pie and meet dumplings were delicious. I had the lamb shanks which was plentiful and quie falvorful.“
