50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Oxon Hill

“Mezeh always has great food but they were not prepared for the massive conference influx during the lunch rush. Doors need to be open for better air flow and maybe a few extra hands on staff. Over an hour wait in a hot stuffy room was difficult. In the end I got my delicious salad...but no pita :(“

“Great food and excellent service. John was fantastic. 100% recommend“

“Agora DC made my husband’s surprise birthday dinner party one to remember! From the superior customer service and professionalism of their special events management team, including Tsednia Abay, to the Michelin Star-worthy food and service, no detail was left untouched. Thank you to your entire team!😍“

“Warm, friendly and welcoming service, very generous portions and absolutely delicious food. I really thought I would have leftovers but I could not stop eating. The outdoor patio is dog-friendly. Nothing to absolutely not love about this place, I hope to be back!“

“Such a superb dining experience. I was solo so sat at bar and my waiter went above and beyond with exceptional wine and food knowledge and service. The food was subtle, creative and beautifully balanced. Everything just worked. I find US restaurants rarely have ambiance but Tail Up had great lighting even if dining room was fine but unremarkable. It was a brilliant experience of a brilliant kitchen, sommelier and serving team. Thanks for a DC highlight“

“Absolutely amazing food, atmosphere, and service! My new favorite restaurant in DC. Food is tasty and authentic. Staff is friendly, responsive, and timely. And the restaurant is clean, nicely decorated, and spacious with plenty of seating inside and out. The Adana Lebab, Turkish tea, and Backlava are must-tries. A+++“

“Excellent customer service, breathtaking view of the Potomac River. Extensive variety on the menu. I highly recommend all items on the menu, and prompt turnaround time after placing an order.“

“The food was great. I had a shrimp kabob, rice, hummus and a salad. The white Cosmo was very good. Loved meeting Ann.“

“First of all, I celebrated my birthday in this magical restaurant. It was an amazing experience of taste flavors, condiments, and all that rich taste of the Mediterranean! Elegant, distinctive, bold, sophisticated touch. I had a beautiful time in Alhambra, excellent attention from all the staff, waiters, chef!!! What a great experience! Through your art of food, you enchant me, and I enjoyed all the experience. Love your work and many great wishes for all of you in 2025. I am very thankful!“

“Did the cocktail mixing class. Great food and awesome experience!“

“The food here was fantastic. I got a chicken platter and it comes with a roll on the side. The food was so fresh, not overly salty, and felt very light. The restaurant was really clean and nice and the service was fast and good! 10/10 would recommend.“

“The food was fresh and delicious! The service was excellent and the owner came around to talk to us! He was so sweet!! He made us feel like family! I will definitely recommend this lovely establishment to my family and friends! I should have taken more photos, but I forgot- it was as sooo goo!!“

“I'll be honest, I'm a California food snob. I've struggled to find affordable, consistently delicious food in DC and miss spaces that are clearly family owned where the food is made with love. I have found that at Green Almond Pantry.

My partner and I have made a routine of going every weekend and every single thing we have tried has been fantastic. I remembered to take a picture of the foccacia after I had already quickly inhaled half. The breakfast sandwiches were to die for. Each frittata has been mouth watering. I'll try and remember to take some photos next time I go.

Not the quickest option as they carefully heat and create each dish, but you can grab a coffee or boba from the spot next door while you wait.“

“Elegant setting. Beautiful decor. Stellar service. Innovative and delectable cuisine. Bonus points for mocktail options.“

“Lamb chops steak is delicious! The fried potatoes were delicious! Brusselsprouts with fruit jam sweet and appetizing! His family's Pitabread can continue indefinitely“

“I am amazed by the delicious food they prepare, with excellent seasoning. I really liked the food and the service was excellent. It's a nice place to go with friends or family. I will be a frequent customer. I was fascinated by this excellent place!“

“My neighborhood spot. So much culture and delicious mediterranean food. Incredible service and atmosphere I absolutely love everything on the menu. The cocktails are delicious every time - the pistachio martini is an absolute must. Always a vibe with the playlist and service is top notch. Rohat is so kind and hospitable! Can't wait to see what's in store for this spot! I'll be back over and over!“

“the whole thing - the people - the food - all good“

“I am very particular about my Mediterranean food and Miza did not disappoint. Chicken shawarma bowl with the garlic aioli was crazy and it’s a lot of bang for your buck. The customer service was also excellent. 10s across the board for me.“

“I was there for the opening day and it was wonderful. The staff are so friendly and had huge smiles on their faces. The line moved quickly and the food was delicious and made exactly to order. The soup was still piping hot when I got back to the office. So happy they finally opened a location in Union Station.“

“I go here 2 to 4 times a month at least. I really enjoy the fresh ingredients and choices.“

“The shop is owned by a couple from Bulgaria. I had the bacon croissant sandwhich. But the “handheld” is actually a toasted croissant cut open with the food placed nicely on top.

The food was FRESH! The bacon was PERFECTLY cooked with a nice crunch (just like I like it).

I asked for no cheese on the sandwhich which made it dry, so I asked for jelly and it perfect.

I also had a oatmilk latte, they have a station where you can add more sweetner, so tha’s what I did and it turned out tasty.

I think this local business has quality food and if you’re wanting a balanced meal, I definitely recommend. I will be going back!“

“Great spot for roof dining 😎“

“Fresh natural decor, open layout and engaging music. The small pita included perfectly spiced protein and fresh veggies with a wide array of veggy sauces and dressings. Great taste and value.“

“We had the best time at KooKoo DC last night. They accommodated a table of 14 for my spouse's birthday and never let us feel like an imposition. The food was so fresh, authentic, and reasonably priced - I did a double take when we got the bill. I even felt like we went all-out with apps, drinks, and desserts! The owner was also so kind - we just felt so cared for the whole time and can't wait to visit again.“

“lunch was delicious and the Gelato was even more delicious deliciouser! 😋 sitting outside across from Kennedy Center was a plus.“

“great customer service even late night“

“The new kid on the block is a great lunch spot with reasonably priced and delicious food. I had the chicken shawarma sandwich and spoke to the chef. He elevated this basic dish to really nice levels and there's a unique spice blend that you won't find anywhere else. This is a tough location for a business but hopefully they can survive.“

“this place is a mazing. the healing food.the good service. nice people's. I suggest it to go and tray.“

“We had a wonderful breakfast this morning! The Beirut Breakfast, the Rose Water Latte, and Shaksura were all fabulous and the staff was lovely, friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!“

“All around awesome atmosphere to enjoy with friends and family!“

“Great Falafels! Nice atmosphere and very polite personnel“

“Came for a tasting as part of Tasting Collective and was glad I did. This was truly a great experience. The 5 course tasting had 2 courses (1st & 4th) that needed to be altered as I'm a pescetarian therefore, don't eat duck. So in place of the duck paté, I was served figs and brie and in place of the duck breast I was served branzino. Each course was nicely paired with wine, again adding to this wonderful experience.

The fig and brie with the croutons was delicious, followed by the roasted pear with gouda, pecans and pomegranate sprinkles which was a delightful tasty plate. Who would think white chocolate and cauliflower purée would be delicious and pair beautifully with seared scallops? Clearly Chef Moore did and how right was he. That purée had folks at our table scraping to get all of it. The next course was a substitute dish and was beyond disappointing, especially compared to the other 3 courses. The branzino was BLAND, but the olives that were on the side were extra salty. I thought I was supposed to eat them together, but that didn't help. I couldn't even eat this course. The final course was a butterscotch pudding, a great way to end the meal/night.

Chef Moore was very welcoming. He answered questions and took pictures with the guests.

I'll definitely add this to my list of restaurants.“

“The truck was clean the chopped cheese was absolutely delicious and Johnny had phenomenal service. The location has a nice little shaded bench area and you really can't go wrong at this good truck. I was sent by security at the air and space museum. They all raved about it so I had to check it out and I highly recommend!“

“Great food and price! The staff is very professional and friendly!“

“Came here for afternoon tea with some girl friends and we had a great experience! Tea and food were nice and service was good too. Ambiance was classy and elegant. It’s a bit pricey but most afternoon tea spots are around here so no complaints.“

“I recently visited Raki Cafe and was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional customer service. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a friendly atmosphere. The staff were incredibly attentive and went out of their way to ensure that my experience was enjoyable.

The goat meat and other tibs(steak) is amazing. I recommend you to try it.

“This past Thursday (4/25), I went to the restaurant to use my birthday rewards to purchase a meal. Unfortunately, the link to retrieve my reward was not working. However, the cashier was nice enough to notify the manager and the manager gave me a discount after I showed him my email with the rewards information. This showed that the cashier and manager went above and beyond to provide exceptional customer services. And the meal, as always, was great!!!!“

“Superb dining restaurant!“

“I went this day to the Cava restaurant on 52 m St. I liked the food, the service was excellent and fast, very clean“

“The best⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Food was interesting and mostly ok. Most of the business seemed to be take out. Pretty good selection to choose from and there was a lot of traffic around evening rush hour for take out. Ambiance and decor were very simple and very basic. Nothing elaborate.“

“The food is fresh and absolutely delicious! I'm always torn between the spicy lamb meatballs and the falafels - but never pass on the crazy feta!“

“Like a Greek Chipotle. Fast service, delicious food, tasty options. Recommend!“

“We stopped here on a whim while visiting DC from Texas and it was absolutely delicious. The chicken platter was hot, fresh, and flavorful and the man who took our order was kind and helpful. I keep thinking about it and trying to find something similar here in San Antonio, so far no luck!“

“I come to this Mezeh at least 3 times a week. So much so that the employees recognize me when I come in. I am amazed to see these one star ratings. As many times as I have come in, they have been nothing but gracious and provide outstanding customer service. I read some of these one star ratings and with the exception of the delivery for the corporate affair, I question some.

As a native Ward 8 member I was elated to see Mezeh and other corporate chains coming into my community. But I also realized that there would be challenges (which is why it is so hard to keep such businesses here). I’m gone say it… some of my fellow Anacostians just are not respectful. I have seen some come in the store and because they have to pay extra for extra meat or something more that they want, they go off. I one time had to say something because it was so innapropriate and unwarranted. It’s like they try to bully the workers because they are not black.

I hate to say this but it happens too much not in just this store but others and I’m tired of seeing establishments shut down because employees don’t want to be threatened or harmed. Walmart pulled out from being over here because they were going to have to pay too much for security and the Giant has threatened to pull out as well. IHOP is closed, the 7/11 on Barry Ave closed, Subway use to stay open 24 hours but had to stop because of this craziness. We can’t keep nothing over here and it’s not the establishment, it’s us not knowing how to receive customer service. I know these are hard times but damn.

This is a great store and I have only been in Starbucks and The Smoothie store and they are trying to make it in a tough area. Good Luck yall cause I wouldn’t put up with some of this bull. Peace“

“A very nice eating experience. I love their pitas, and their selection of chips and drinks.Very fast and friendly service, with very reasonable prices for their pita sandwiches.I highly recommend them, for a meal at any time of the day or night.÷[ Rob Conway ]÷“

“We had a great experience here. We dined early, as we had evening plans, and the service was excellent. Although the weather was warm for October, we chose to eat inside as friends had warned us about insects on the patio. Our server was friendly and informative. My spinach ravioli tasted homemade, and was quite rich. My partner's seafood linguine had lots of seafood among the noodles, and the marinara sauce was an excellent choice.“
