27 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in St. Louis

“My daughter and I have been meaning to try it- and it was so delicious!! The food was freshly cooked, portions were large and the taste was authentic and flavorful. Don’t miss this hidden gem on Gravois!“

“I had such an amazing time today. Easy street parking. When you walk in, it’s overwhelmingly filled with delicious wide range of drinks, desserts, and homemade Hummus … and the best part was the section they had of hand stitched bags, hats, printed bags, brackets, stickers, ect. All in support for Palestine. The love for Palestine was bold and incredible. I got a few bags that I will cherish dearly and can’t wait to display permanently in my prayer room. The food was phenomenal and the onion rings were cooked to perfection… the hummus was so fresh. I didn’t realize they start serving ice cream at 4pm and unfortunately we didn’t have time today to go back to try the ice cream. Shukran Yapi <3“

“Smaller menu but good food. Friendly, Clean.“

“Excellent anchovy toast, and the shrimp was succulent and flavorful. The veal meatballs were dry and not seasoned well. I highly recommend the lemoncello tiramisu. It was moist, light and refreshing. Excellent spot for dinner and drinks with friends or a date.“

“I finally made it and really it’s worth 100 stars , The chicken salad is probably the best salad in Stl , everything about it is perfect , chicken soo good , lettuce chopped with tons of parsley, all ingredients top notch and the dressing is excellent. I had the spinach pie for dinner and it is heaven . I’ve already planned on nesting 2 sets of ppl there! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Awesome food and great staff. Friendly, not rushing you through ordering. Will be back when I’m next in town.“

“Pali grill is my favorite place to eat to lift my spirits. The decor in the restaurant is fun and beautiful, everyone working there is friendly and kind, everything on the menu is delicious (get. the. pali. sauce.). I truly can't decide if I like the chicken sandwich or the gyro more. They're both delicious. I tried the onion rings for the first time today and they were perfect. Favorite comfort food.“

“Phenomenal Food and Amazing Service“

“great food and very friendly people …had the beef wrap and it was perfect“

“Amazing food - best Persian-style cuisine in STL so far and some of the best anywhere we've traveled. Saffron chicken kebab was beyond tender and so flavorful. Their version of biryani was delicious, too, and the gyro was solid. The sambosas were a great starter, and even the fries that came with the gyro were good. We'll be back to try more dishes soon!“

“Pan's fine dining, and elegant ambiance keep us coming back, year after year!♥️🥰♥️“

“Best gyro with the nicest staff!“

“Stopped by for the first time today, I got the stuffed grape leaves & falafel & hummus. The staff was incredibly nice & they plated my food beautifully. The stuffed grape leaves taste amazing. I prefer mine cold & firm & those were PERFECT!!! Thank you so much, Mashallah. (mid rivers location)“

“The Greek salad and gyro salad are huge and fresh!! Sometimes the hamburgers are sold out because they are so popular. A clean, no frills restaurant we have enjoyed for many years!! We take our out of town friends for a good meal/or take out.“

“Crispy chicken schwarma I had was memorably good, thanks in particular to whatever sauce they coated the wrap in, and the garlic sauce. I think if they dial in their meat preparation to make sure they’re not overcooking or drying it out they’d have an award winner.“

“Amazing food and excellent, attentive service. My new favorite place to visit.“

“So happy to have stumbled upon this place! Vegan and gluten friendly options 🥰 and the food was delicious!“

“While I did not eat there myself, I called in from 600 miles away to surprise my son and his girlfriend! They were there to celebrate his birthday and the news that he had just passed the Bar exam! The staff were just as excited to be in on the plan as I was - they asked all the right questions to make sure it went down exactly as I envisioned and even called me afterwards to let me know it was a success! This South Carolina Mom really appreciated how the restaurant took the extra time on a busy Friday night (Halloween no less) to make patrons feel special! THANK YOU!“

“I love going to Caesar supermarket. Their food tastes amazing and it has a unique taste that seperates them from the other restaurants. The staff is friendly and very helpful.“

“The food is so good and reasonably priced. Ive only ordered two things so far so cant speak for the whole menu but they were so delicious I had to come back the next 2 days and have it again 😂 also very pleased with the portion sizes/ price ratio.“

“We came as a large group and were immediately impressed with everything ! The staff made sure we were all taken care of and made to feel very special. We had a great time listening to our server tell us about the different menu items and how they were prepared. You could feel the pride he had in Cafe Nova. He made the whole evening a fun experience, and even volunteered to take several group photos. The food was superb, the appetizers were excellent, the coffees and other drinks were all exceptional ! We all highly recommend trying this fantastic restaurant.“

“Always been a fan of their Persian omelette but wanted to try the egg shakshuka and the Yarok juice and totally fell in love with the food again! Came back after 5 months and the menu seems changed, the ambience is different but the food taste remains the same.! Totally worth it.“

“If I could bottle the feeling of joy that comes from an unforgettable meal and serve it to the world, it would taste exactly like Olympia Kebob House & Taverna. Nestled on McCausland in the heart of St. Louis, Olympia is more than just a Greek restaurant,it’s an experience, a destination, and for those of us lucky enough to know it, a weekly ritual. From the moment you walk in, something shifts. You’re no longer in Missouri. The aromas, the laughter, the ambiance, they transport you to a lively taverna in the hills of Athens. And then the food arrives. We started with the Taverna Potato Peels (crispy, golden, addictive). Add a side of Tzatziki, and you’re in trouble (the best kind). Honestly, just go ahead and order extra Tzatziki. You’ll want it with everything. You’ll want it by the spoonful. You’ll wonder how a yogurt-based sauce can make you this emotional. Then came the Gyro Deluxe, a masterpiece of flavor, texture, and satisfaction. It doesn’t just set the bar, it is the bar. The Deluxe Chicken Shish Kebob Platter followed, with juicy, perfectly charred meat and a balance of herbs and seasoning that would impress even the most traditional Greek yiayia. On the side? Spanakorizo… a Greek spinach rice dish that sounds simple but hits with soul. Every bite was warm, fragrant, and comforting in the way that only true home-cooked food can be. And just when we thought we couldn’t be impressed further: Chocolate Bak-Lava. Rich. Decadent. Crisp. Sublime. I’ve traveled. I’ve eaten Greek food in several cities. And yet somehow, nothing prepared me for Olympia. That first time I ate there, I found myself shaking my head after nearly every bite, not because anything was wrong, but because I could never had been prepared for this experience. And the service? As stellar as the food. The staff is genuine, warm, and clearly proud to be part of something this special. They treat you like family, but more importantly, they seem to mean it. If we lived closer, we’d be there twice a day. As it is, we’re still making the trip once or twice a week without fail. That’s how good Olympia is. It’s not just a restaurant. It’s a place that makes you feel thankful, thankful for the food, the people, and the joy of discovering a place that just gets it all so right. Olympia, thank you for what you do. You’ve earned every word of this. THANK YOU!“

“The restaurant itself is very well lit and spacious. Beautiful seating and ambiance. The service was great and the food even better. It was well plated with vibrant flavors and colors. I had the leg of lamb, was tender with great flavor. Also tried the lentil soup, Grape leaves and kunafa, all were absolutely exceptional! Definitely recommend trying this place.“
