50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Oxon Hill

“If I could afford to eat here every day I would. Never had a combination of ingredients I didn't like. Second best falafel I've ever had (and the best is an expensive fancy restaurant). The lamb melts in your mouth. And things that say spicy actually kind of hurt me and that's rare to get at any chain restaurant.

Once I had to wait quite a while for a pickup order so I'll just come in and order from now on but no complaints otherwise.

I really really wish we had one of these in columbus Ohio. (Or maybe not because id be broke and become a sphere)

Lastly, I've eaten at other Mezehs and this one is the best and most flavorful. The folks that run the other ones should come here and learn a thing or two.“

“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!😍“

“5 stars isn't enough!! From the moment we walked in until the end of our night we were satisfied. The decorations, food, and service was amazing! They even offered me a quiet place to pray :). Give this place a try-trust me (portions may seem small, but it was very filling- we ordered the bowl of fries, which came with a delicious sauce, CROQUETTES, fish burger, beef burger, and gnocchi pomodoro. It felt like we were in nyc enjoy :)“

“We sat at the high tables, because we didn't have a reservation, but we received great service. The bar area gets crowded so we were lucky to get a seat and experience their 3 course meal. Every course was delicious and felt like a treat.“

“Just ate there last nite b4 a show at Birchmere (their food not so great!). WONDERFUL, AUTHENIC Greek fare. I had the lamb/beef gyro and gal had falafal (sic?). Both delicious, highly recommend it!“

“We had the absolute best experience hosting our wedding at Casamara. I was so impressed with how smooth my wedding day went! We were so excited to be their first wedding - the entire team behind Casamara, Reynolds and SIXTY DC truly came together to deliver on the wedding of my dreams! Everything ran seamlessly which made the day feel effortless and stress-free. The ceremony on the rooftop was absolutely stunning and very DC, with the sunset as our backdrop and the top of the monument in the background! Reynolds was the perfect spot for cocktail hour- swanky, sexy, and such a vibe! The cocktails were expertly crafted and the passed hors d’oeuvres were plentiful and delicious. We were back on the rooftop for our party- the layout was just perfect for our cocktail-style party and dinner was absolutely incredible. Everything we’ve ever ordered at Casamara has been amazing, and this night it was no different - we had the best of the best. Chef Matt is really an unbelievable chef, a master of his craft. The desserts were a huge hit, Cassidy wins the award for best chocolate chip cookies in the DMV and her chocolate mousse is unreal! Jonathan and Gabriel were our bartenders and Jessamyn ran point on service - I was so happy to have them, they had great energy until the very end! The service was truly impeccable from start to finish - the team was on top of their game and the everyone at Casamara, Reynolds and SIXTY DC made our wedding weekend such an amazing success. A huge thank you to Katherine who helped bring our vision to life- I am forever grateful for her! Michael and Dmytro, these two brought the party! I couldn’t believe it when some of our guests were telling us that it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to- we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue or team to bring our dream wedding to life!“

“Great quality and quantity for the price. You can get a chicken shawarma bowl with delicious saffron rice for $10 with 6 toppings, choice of meat, and 2 sauces and they are generous with all.

My only complaints were that I thought the beef shawarma was a little chewy and there were no water cups.“

“Delicia de comida, recomendado al 100%“

“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.“

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

“Stumbled into Akivva Grill after my dog’s vet appointment nearby — great find. Fresh ingredients, well-seasoned meat on the spit, and generous portions at a fair price. Clean spot, no-frills service — the older guys are focused on the food, not small talk. Just order, eat, and enjoy.“

“I specifically chose this restaurant to bring a Valentines date with high standards. She was very impressed and I was as well. The service was not overbearing, and very polite. The food was absolutely delicious and is a must try if you are looking for upscale Mediterranean food. We got the scallops and the rack of lamb which were cooked perfectly, and we enjoyed the bread and hummus for appetizers as well. The cocktails are pricy but generous and smooth. They looked very classy and were easy to pair with the meals. The seating isn't too close to other patrons and therefore felt like a luxurious experience. Price of the full meal with two appetizers, two cocktails and two large main dishes plus a desert will be 150-300$ after tip. I would highly recommend this place for a special occasion.“

“A must try when in DC! Not only is the food unmatched compared to others, but the customer service and portions are excellent with the highest quality and delicious meat platters. You will not be disappointed and taken care of always, I will be returning 100/10“

“Great spot for roof dining 😎“

“Best kept secret of DC. Best lamb kebab (and laffa!), best tabuleh, best kibbeh, best grape leaves, best lentil soup… Best!
May be gotta change the name, it’s a bit hard to understand what to expect .. but it is simply the best lunch each time I came… and indeed fresh, yummy & authentically Mediterranean.. thank you 🙏🏼“

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

“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!!!!“

“I travel a lot and this it’s my second time at cava I love the food and all the True members I really polite. They help me a lot explaining men about a new Shawarma chicken. I really love it. I spoke with the manager. He was really kind name is Carlos. He offer me a water cup, which is really cool. I recommend this place.“

“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.“

“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.“

“great customer service even late night“

“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!“

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

“This mezeh is one of my most consistent weekly meals not only because the unique flavors and quality it offers, but because the consistent service I receive, which is top notch. Joanna, one of the staff members has always been the same, warm, patient person. If I come in late before it's about to close, it's super busy or anytime...she greets you with a smile and excitement to serve. As a DC native and ward 8 resident, knowing such a well run business is in my community is a gift.“

“Great Falafels! Nice atmosphere and very polite personnel“

“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.“

This was one of those dining experiences you ask yourself how have I missed this place? There are not enough words to describe the excellence of Villa Yara. Do not overlook this restaurant for you will miss a great dining experience. Scott G.“

They add their own special touch to the well-known traditional flavors — and that truly makes the difference.“

“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.

“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!“

“I was welcomed by Lady Erika and coupled with a Perfect Steak & Cheese pita today. WOW, what a superb delight. I highly recommend their cuisine and customer service. Great place to dine, but with it being so cold today, I dashed home to savor their pita. Talk about being good; I could not stop til it was all gone! Oops, let's keep that just between us (smile).“

“I had the harissa honey chicken bowl, it was delicious! The staff there was helpful and informative, my server helped me pick out the toppings that I might like.

Check this place out if you are looking for something halal and flavourful“

“Can’t believe I didn’t try this place sooner! Calamari tasted a lot better than it smelled (and in fairness it could’ve been the marinara I smelled). But idc, was super delicious. And the bartender and owner were super friendly.“

“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!“

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

“Service is amazing the waiter and manager were amazing. My friends and I arrived after making reservations for high tea @ 9:30am. When we arrived turned out they didn’t have high tea until 11:00 so the manager let us know we were too early. We said no worries we will order breakfast and then have the high tea when it’s ready. Keep in mind the normal high tea is like $35 dollars. Manager came back and said they don’t have high tea during the week only on weekends. We were bummed since our friend was visiting, manager came back and asked how many high teas we wanted we said only one now since we are lobster eggs Benedict. They said okay we can see what the chef can prepare. Waiter comes out with three high teas later. Truly amazing but we only wanted one.

The only bad thing is Bill comes and we are charged $86 dollars for the high tea when they didn’t tell us there was a price difference. I do feel like the manager or at least the waiter should have told us that the high teas were going to be $86 dollars. Our lunch per person was $199.00 this could the most expensive lunch I’ve had. Make sure you ask questions. Please servers and managers explain that there is a price difference.“
