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“

It felt like we were in nyc enjoy :)“

“Casamara at SIXTY DC was absolutely incredible. We came to celebrate my friend’s birthday, and the entire experience was amazing from start to finish. The service was truly above and beyond. Our waitress made my friend feel so special, cared for, and celebrated, which meant so much to us. The manager was also wonderful and made sure everything felt seamless and memorable.

The food was honestly to die for. Everything was cooked to perfection, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The vibe of the restaurant was perfect too. Stylish, warm, fun, and elevated without feeling stuffy.

This was such a special birthday experience, and I cannot recommend Casamara DC enough. We will absolutely be back and you will not be disappointed for going!“

The dining room was also calm and peaceful. I’ll definitely return soon! :)“

“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!!!!“

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 was our first time visiting Sofra and it was 10/10 experience. The food was absolutely delicious. My favorite was the lamb chops and the manti but everything we ordered was superb. What really made the experience special was the service. It was my mother’s birthday and our servers were so hospitable, kind, and humorous. We look forward to coming back and trying more from the menu.“

“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 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.“

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

“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).“

“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!“

“My first visit to Cava was an absolute win, and I have to shout out Javier for making it even better. Walking in for the first time can feel a little like “okay…what do I do here?” but Javier made the whole experience smooth.

He was super patient, incredibly informative about what pairs well together, and genuinely friendly the entire time. Not once did I feel rushed, which is rare when you’re clearly a newbie holding up the line just a little bit.

Thanks to him, my bowl turned out amazing and I left feeling like a Cava pro. If every first time experience was like this, I’d be trying new places way more often. Give my guy a raise!“

“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!“
