15 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Worcester

“Real Greek food! Not “Americanized” for the non-Greeks! Efcharisto.“

“The service was exceptional - and the food just as exceptional! Great portions for value, kindest individuals working there, and they were especially kind to our niece, and she really enjoyed her time and food. Easily worth stopping in! Definitely worth returning!“

“Best shawarma I've had in a long time. The prices were fair. The couple running the store were so friendly and had my food ready in a jiffy. I'm sad I'm not from around here or I'd be a weekly regular. Help support this local family business.“

“I recently had my homewarming party catered by El Basha, and I couldn't be more impressed! The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish full of flavor and beautifully presented. I worked with George who was incredibly professional, and attentive to every detail, making sure everything went smoothly. The food was delivered on time with no issues. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the food, and it truly made our celebration unforgettable. I highly recommend El Basha for any event—they exceeded all expectations and helped make our day perfect! Five stars all the way!“

“I Give Aladdin 5 stars for several reasons! I have ate there and ordered food over a dozen times and each and every time the food is fresh and is the best authentic Iraqi food I have ever eaten! The owner is such a nice guy and has always went out of his way to be polite and accommodating in anyway!“

“I Had the most delicious dinner DoorDashed to work last night. Every single person that walked by at work said omg that looks and smells amazing! The Greek Salad was SO fresh, the colors of the tomatoes, cucumbers etc. were so vibrant! I enjoyed the chicken shawarma as well!“

“This was my first time in here and when I first walked in the inside really got my attention. It’s beautiful and blue all around very welcoming in my opinion. The place looks and seems very clean. Sierra greeted me and was very patient with me as this was my first time here and it was a very wonderful first experience for me. I tried the steak and cheese and it was delicious? I want to say thank you to Sierra for helping me and making my experience there a good one“

“Love ethnic places that you can't normally get in this city. I always love to support local businesses screw these major corporations. Let's support our locals. Plus I also have a soft spot for any form of middle eastern food. Served over seas many times and it was beautiful to see a whole family working together in a restaurant together.

Parking: Bring pepper spray because unfortunately the homeless try to take advantage of people's hospitality and lock your doors. This is the only negative thing I have to say about this place in anyway at all. You can buy pepper spray at Jay's smoke shop right next to CVS for $9“

“thought this was a restaurant not a dating site. That #girl Miranda you met was smart not to give you her number. He's creepy stalker. To all women-Stay far away from Matt Kuszewski-he’s a psycho & abuses women, among other things He’s a scumbag. Who looks for some #girl on a restaurant review site. Creepy stalker; desperate much??“

“We had our wedding rehearsal dinner/welcome party upstairs at Nuovo in August of 2022 which included almost 100 people. We could not be happier with our choice!!! The food and drinks are excellent and the staff are so hard-working and friendly. The owners are phenomenal and genuinely care about the happiness and satisfaction of their guests. We discussed our vision for the evening with Loreta in advance and she sure did help us achieve it. We had our own bar and servers, as well as a solo live singer we hired who they were easily able to accommodate. Loreta was incredibly responsive, kind, helpful, and patient. My family and I have also had dinner here and we just can’t say enough about how wonderful our several experiences have been. We will absolutely make the trip to Worcester to go back. Huge thanks to Loreta and all the other amazing staff for helping us create beautiful memories. We would HIGHLY recommend Nuovo to anyone!!“

“I hadn’t been here for a long time and was so glad I came back! The service was A+, couldn’t have been better! The food was spectacular, not one complaint. The lamb was cooked perfectly, the chicken was juicy and perfect too. Everything was just excellent! Can’t wait to return.“

“I’ve been living in Worcester for a long time and I am sorry I did not discover this wonderful place sooner! Lots of good things to say about this place and it will be my go to for interesting food to eat and purchasing of food items moving forward. I love the focus of this marketplace as you can have a bite to eat such as their flavorful shawarma sandwich’s. Also, their bakery is soooo good! I had a pistachio chocolate croissant 🥐 that is to die for. (Much better than some fancy bakery shops) Oh and most importantly their prices are really affordable in my opinion. These are some of the things you can get high quality at a fair price. Tahini paste, spices, prepared sauces and prepared food in their refrigerated section. The garlic sauce is on point. Olive oils, preserved jams, coffee, etc. They carry quite a bit of inventory of various interesting food items. Definitely make a trip to this wonderful store. You won’t be disappointed! 😊“

“This was my first time here as I recently moved from New Jersey to Worcester and I will have to say that I was very impressed. Back in Newark NJ we have a chicken place that's very addicted and I give CFC a good report.“

“Delicious food fast service“
