50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Oxon Hill

“Great protein and healthy meal options; definitely would recommend the Mezeh Classic (Signature bowl) with all the fixings

Only drawback is the cashiering/register service- need to have designated area for pickup orders AND those placing orders (building their bowls and orders); wait time for picking up my order could have been quicker especially due to the fact I ordered a cold beverage with it“

“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!😍“

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

“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 :)“

“Excellent restaurant from all angles, a new DC/ Georgetown favorite.

The decor brightened an otherwise gloomy and stormy day. The service was efficient and friendly. Menu labeled for dietary restrictions and can ask server for help. The food (brunch prix fixe with burrata (no bread) and steak eggs) had the right flavors to waken the palate and satisfy the soul and the stomach. Kudos to the right amount of salt on each dish to highlight all the deliciousness. Cantaloupe to Spain was a balanced cocktail with unique flavors and smooth to drink.

Overall a memorable brunch experience and I'll be recommending to friends in and out of DC. Look forward to coming back.“

“LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING!!!!!
This was by far the best meal I’ve ever had in my life,
The couples meat dining experience was transporting me to heaven, the food was so good and the host was so funny and kind (Wesley?)
He was amazing and made the entire experience so fun
Also the drinks were so delicious we only got the espresso martinis but they were so creamy and delicious 🤤

I would come back here for every important occasion in the future!!!!
Best date night ever“

“I had a wonderful time at Casamara! The food was absolutely delicious, the service was excellent, and the music was fantastic. We were seated at the front, where the atmosphere was excellent. Our waiter was incredible and did more than was expected to make my friend's birthday special; she was very attentive during the whole meal and offered us excellent wine recommendations. All aspects of the food, the service and the general atmosphere were perfect. It's definitely a place I'd recommend if you wanted to have a fun night out or mark a special occasion!“

“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.

“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.“

“On vacation from RI, my husband and I and very good friends had lunch at Lily’s just this past week and we fully enjoyed experience! It was a beautiful sunny day, and we were greeted with sunny faces and a friendly, highly professional staff. We sat in the outdoor area and everything from being there to fill our water glasses and explaining the menu was covered. I highly recommend Lily’s if not just for the fact that we felt like we were at home but to top it off, the food was delicious. Try the Tropical salad and the meatball appetizer!!“

“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!!“

“This is what you call authentic Mediterranean food. And I love how hot the lamb shank was it was literally falling off the bone! I will definitely be back! Sorry I didn't take a photo of the food before i devoured it! Definitely a hidden gem in the Reagan building“

“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!!!!“

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

“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 so enjoyed our lunch at Sofra after our time at the zoo! I didn’t know what I was expecting but my lunch was nothing like I expected - but it was better! Our sweet server, Jackline, was wonderful and attentive. She even surprised us with something special for dessert. Would definitely recommend Sofra while visiting DC!“

“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 🙏🏼“

“Charming smaller restaurant with friendly service, a very good wine list and delicious food. Once you find street parking, you can choose from several small tables on the street or comfortable seating inside this very attractive restaurant. There were three of us having dinner which consisted of Gnocchi, Chicken Milanese and an outstanding pork chop with caramel sauce. This restaurant really is a neighborhood gem. The noise level is high, but that is the only negative thing that I can think of to say.“

“Great food. At first I was hesitant for mediterranean food items I had never tried,,But we enjoyed it all. Desert was amazing, mango mousse+passionfruit cake+ dollops of different flavored creams. WOW. I loved the flavor of the smoked chicken, but it could have been a bit more moist (i.e. less overcooked). But that was small. Mom's Borak phyllo appetizer was amazing. Service made it feel so special. Will go back.“

“I always have a positive experience at CAVA in Foggy Bottom, especially with the afternoon crew! They’re kind, attentive, always in a good mood, and generous with the protein portions. I love attempting my Spanish with them, and they always make me feel welcome“

“Maria and the crew are some of the friendliest staff and best food!!

It is where I was first introduced to pickled onions and they have awoken my love of lamb again. It's also got a lot of very healthy choices, but the magic is when it is all put together it's delicious no matter what combination“

“The food is amazing! The Pita House is one of my favorite restaurants in Old Town! I have never been disappointed.“

“Healthy food, friendly staff, centrally located“

“Superb dining restaurant!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“We just had my sons’ wedding rehearsal dinner at Villa Yara and it exceeded our and our guests expectations. The venue is superb, the food amazing and the staff amazing. 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.“

Hope Myles is one of your managers and trains other employees since he’s a great role model to follow!“

“Love it you will as well.“

“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.
