28 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Norwood

“Absolutely delish!! My husband tried Crave in Norwood for the first time and highly recommend. We had the chicken bowl and loved it. Can’t wait to go back.“

“Cannot believe I waited this long to try this place. The chicken kebab meal with rice, salad, and Greek pasta salad was one of the greatest things I’ve ever eaten. Enough food to feed two hungry adults. My friend said the lamb kebab was delicious as well. Will definitely be back.!“

“I’m still dreaming about the chicken shawarma wrap I had here! The chicken was impossibly moist and perfectly crisped, especially when paired with their creamy garlic paste and fresh pickles. The portions were incredibly generous, and the prices were very reasonable. I can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu!“

“Best food forever“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I love Taso’s !!! I love the traditional greek salad and the lemon soup is DELICIOUS!!! The desserts are scrumptious! I just had my mother’s retirement party and I catered it all from Taso’s and everyone could NOT stop raving about the food . The food makes a party and Taso’s made the event perfect!! But if I am being honest, the REAL reason I love Taso’s is because Kristina made my son feel at ease. She took extra time with him, on his first visit there . Daniel gave it a 10/10 rating!!! My son, who has special needs, has a hard time with new places and now he loves it . The waitstaff is amazing ( love you Kim ) and I literally could eat there everyday!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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+.“

“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.“

“Hole-in-the-wall take out joint. Got the spicy chicken, and my wife also got chicken and rice. There was only one person working there, clearly had been working hard all day. Still was very accommodating and kind. Food - absolutely delicious and we will absolutely be making this place part of our regular take out rotation.“

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

They have Vimto soda too, besides beers and wines. I was also looking for Aleppo pepper and the very nice lady there was able to get exactly what I was looking for. My dish was a hit and I will definitely be back.“

“Flavor Boom is one of my go-to places for a quick, inexpensive, and tasty meal. The bowls are always warm, full to the brim, and packed with flavor. I love their chicken adobo, tangy tamarind chicken, and beef stew. There’s almost always space to eat inside as well, if you want to eat it right away. Highly recommend!“

“Most don't realize that anyone can eat here. This is a true gem of a cafeteria in the basement of the BU Med student bldg. They serve incredibly great fresh Falafel based dishes and other Mediterranean faire including several vegan options. Absolutely scrumptious. They have a grill with standard various types of burger & fries including delicious vegan burgers. They usually have a variety of fresh soups that includes at least a vegan option. Huge selection of cold drinks in an extensive fridge wall. Anyone can eat here while they are open, but it seems mostly only BMC or BU staff and students are present. Their prices are incredibly affordable and a great value for large satisfying portions.“

“Good food but highly priced, short staffed took longer r for check than food. Cash only and 20 tip already included. 130 for breakfast it’s way too much.“

“First but definitely not the last time dining here! The pastitsio was the best I’ve ever had and the kourabiedes took me back to my childhood and the ones that my mother and I made together - powdered perfection! I will definitely be eating here every trip I make to Boston!“
