50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Chestnut Hill

“Everything was amazing tonight(valentine’s day).
I gave food 4 stars because its usually good but sometimes some things are a miss. Even though, if you stick to a few popular dishes they are always very good.

Service is always great.
Tonight the atmosphere specifically (with the signer they had) was amazing. Great night.“

“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 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!“

“This is the best mediterrian middle east food I ever had in my life. Everything is so fresh and so delicious and full of flavor. The waitress Amina is so professional and friendly excellent customer service I will give a 20 of 10 recommended 💯 percent. Look some of my pictures food I ordered definitely como back for more. Zucchini pancakes, falafel bowl and hummus. Pistachio coffee all delicious“

“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+.“

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

“Falafel wrap was delicious, service great. The owner is very proud, friendly, and talented, even offered me a sample of a dip he enjoys making. Very passionate and worthy restaurant!“

“Always a great experience!“

“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 👍🏼“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Always delicious. Thank you.“

“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 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.“

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“

“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! ❤️“

“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.“

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

“We recently used Putterham Grille to cater the Brigham and Women's Anesthesia Clinical Research Assistants Holiday Party, and the experience was exceptional! The food was excellent, with a wide variety of options to satisfy both carnivores and vegetarians alike. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.

The team at Putterham Grille was professional and accommodating, ensuring that all dietary preferences were thoughtfully addressed.

If you're looking for a caterer that delivers on taste, quality, and variety, Putterham Grille is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend for any event!“

“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.“
