50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Bellmawr

“I ordered the shawarma sandwich and the lentil soup. Both were delivered fresh and piping. Given south Asian roots i can taste a food lentil soup and this hit the spot. The shawarma was nice with added veggies but taste wise was nice but nothing that would knock your socks off. The toum sauce is a great accompaniment with the shawarma and overall the meal is a nice to have if you haven't tried. The staff is courteous and considerate of their customer needs“

“Tony and Patricia have created an awesome restaurant. The atmosphere of friendliness in the dining room is unmatched, and the food is fabulous. Go for the shared tasting menu and make the most of all the restaurant offers. And COME HUNGRY! It’s especially fun to bring friends along to enjoy the entire experience!“

“Not kidding. Our table of 4 ordered nearly everything in the menu. Each bite was delicious, balanced, nuanced, worldly, fresh, and inventive. We ordered a second dish of the carrots, and also the cukes. Dessert was outstanding. Interesting wines, including a chilled Croatian wine that paired well with every dish. Definitely returning. Soon! ❤️“

“I think I probably have had just about everything on your menu, and I loved everything. I also like that Stina is not pretentious.“

“The food was wonderful as the service was fast. I couldn’t believe the check. Extremely reasonable for all you get. I’d definitely recommend Kanella to anyone“

“As a travel agent, food is important to me. I not only book for my clients, but I also make restaurant recommendations and WOW!!!!!! This place is it 😍😍😍 I took many photos last night of the food, the atmosphere felt as though I was not in Philadelphia, but far away on a perfect vacation dining at an amazing restaurant. I'm going to post my photos on my business page, people, if you want Greek food, THIS IS YOUR PLACE ☺️ Thank you for a wonderful hospitality and an amazing time my fiance and I will never forget.“

“I came in this morning with my brother to get breakfast and decided to add a tiramisu to my order. The tiramisu was the best I’ve ever had! It was so delicious! The owners were so friendly & helpful!“

“Delicious food. Friendly people.“

“I've been in Philly 16 years, and eaten at every major fine dining restaurant in the city, many more than once. Amada, Zahav, Budakkan, Vernick Fish, you name it. Every Stephen Starr. Every Michael Solmonov. Every Jose Garces. This is the best meal I have ever eaten in my life. The carrots, the beets, the mushroom taglioli, the tuna tartar, the beef carpaccio tartlet, the duck, the liver mousse, the steak...I could go on. Every single bite was either perfect or nearly so. Both of my daughters and my wife said the same. We talked about our top dining experiences in Tokyo, Paris, St. Petersburg, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Miami, Chicago, there have been so many, many good meals in our life. We just found one of the greatest. Thank you Emmett. We look forward to our next visit (once you fix the ramp). -Stephen“

“Excellent friendly service and some truly remarkable food. Highly recommend.“

“It’s very tasty there, we always order from them when going to center city, definitely recommend!!“

“Went tonight as a group of 4. The owner was also our server and he was very kind and very funny. It feels like he’s hosting a big party in his living room. We shared 3 apps (octopus, artichoke, and the shrimp special) and we each had our own entree. Plus we shared 2 desserts. With tip, the price was very affordable for such an excellent meal.“

“This is my 4th time coming and as usual they don’t disappoint. These guys are a class act. They treat you with respect and the food is just as good has the service. I tell all of my friends and family about this place. If you haven’t been here yet you are cheating yourself of a great experience. I can’t say enough about this place. “ They Rock ““

“Your food is delicious and your service excellent. Thank you so much for sharing this food with the public. It is not easy to have a restaurant. Zorbas tavern is a must try place.“

“Clean environment, beautiful setting, incredibly spectacular food—the taste is delicious.“

“I hadn't been to Barbuzzo in about 8 years. We were headed to a show at The Met, so I made reservations for dinner. The staff, the food, the drinks, and the service were all on point. We'll definitely be back!“

“Being Armenian my expectations were high. Apricot Stone far exceeded what I was expecting. Service (Ani) was excellent and all of the help was very friendly. I highly recommend it.“

“We didn’t get to eat at Zahav - but got the next big thing and ordered the Lamb Meal from gold belly with salatim. It was DELICIOUS!! Best lamb we have ever had, so delicious. Salads were yummy, hummus well done and could easily feed 6 adults. So. Much. Food. If you can’t make it to the restaurant- order the kit from Goldbelly and treat yourself!“

“my first time going there in moorestown , new jersey with my bf there food is delicious“

“Everyone loved every bite! One of my favorite brunch places in and around the city. Awesome food, and attentive service! #lEtsreAlesTate“

“1)wonderful food and a goodly portion.2) BYOB 3)Not cheap but reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food. Hits the Restaurant Trifecta!!!“

“omg one of our Doctors treated us to lunch today ..so so good ..I will now go on my own ..food was delicious“

“Amazing place, delicious food, fun atmosphere and reasonable prices“

“I ordered for pick-up tonight and the storm blew down a tree across my street. I called and they offered to bring it to me despite the downed tree and storm. I was totally surprised and impressed when the driver walked two blocks to get the food to us. Oh, and it was delicious too.“

“Everything was perfect from beginning to end, from the reserved table, the service, the food. Because we were a party of 2 and ordered many courses , the server staggered our food so we could enjoy every morsel We started with soup. I had the lentil my husband had Moroccan Bean. Both were so wonderful we we started sharing. I was looking forward to the taramasalata all day. When it came to the table along with warmed pita bread it did not disappoint. On to the falafel: which were some of the best we ever sampled. Not finished yet, next we had lamb kafta. Which were succulent and prepared to perfection. Our final course was the superb moussaka. The eggplant melted in our mouth with each bite and the ground beef and béchamel enhanced the flavor to a higher level Our only disappoint was we didn't have room left for dessert. There is always next time! Another wonderful dining experience at Norma’s!“

“Amazing pastries and coffee! Came in for a quick bfast and enjoyed lots of new flavors.“

“Only 1 item on the menu- $20, cash only.
And it is the best $20 you can spend on a food truck in Philadelphia. In a portion easily feeding 2 people, this falafel truck is worth every bit of praise and acclaim it gets.
Gus is one of the kindest people you will meet, and he is constantly mixing up his dish to surprise you with a combination of chicken, falafel, pasta, veggies and fruit that will make you ask how in the world anyone could make such a combination work so effortlessly.

“I grew up on homemade Middle Eastern food made daily by my parents, so I’m very picky when it comes to authenticity. I’ve tried a few places that just didn’t hit the mark—but AL SHAM in Chalfont is a straight 10/10!! They serve real Arabic bread (pita)—not tortillas disguised as pita like you find at other places—and their homemade Lebanese toum (garlic aioli) is the real deal. One bite of their falafel wrap instantly transported me to a boardwalk in Lebanon, overlooking the Mediterranean—complete with fresh bread, Lebanese pickles, and those perfect pickled turnips. The meat is 100% Halal and you can taste the quality. Flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care. **This is the kind of spot you want to support. We’ll be back again and again—do yourself a favor and try them ASAP**“

“Very nice and clean cafe. Fantastic food and great price. Highly recommend“

“We had an amazing dinner at Bastia, and sitting at the bar turned out to be the best decision. The food was outstanding, but what truly made the evening special was our bartender, Cosette. She was warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel genuinely taken care of from the moment we sat down. Her recommendations were excellent, and she made our entire dining experience feel personal and memorable. Great service can make all the difference, and Cosette absolutely elevated our night. We'll definitely be back, and we'll be hoping to grab a seat at her bar again. Highly recommend Bastia for both the incredible food and exceptional hospitality!“

“We visited Pera and it is great to know that the restaurant met expectations and was consistent with the excellent review in the PHiladelphia Inquirer.“

“Sahara Grill was absolutely amazing! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Everything had great seasoning, generous portions, and that homemade, authentic taste that makes you want to come back again. The service was friendly, welcoming, and attentive from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and comfortable, perfect for a casual meal with family or friends. I highly recommend Sahara Grill to anyone looking for delicious Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food in Philadelphia. Definitely a place worth visiting again!“

“New local halal food spot located on Cottman Ave near Castor Ave by the Sunoco gas station. Reasonably priced fresh food platters with a variety of tasty choices to choose from some as low as $5! $5 is a great price for those on a budget. I got the Mac and cheese/ fried chicken combo and the sauce it comes with is so yummy! It was pretty good. Also got the fish over rice with the garlic sauce it comes with a small salad as well. Fish was lightly breaded and cooked well. I will visit this spot again for sure to try out the other menu items!“

“Outstanding dining experience - cozy setting and elegant ambiance. The menu is eclectic and full of creative, gourmet dishes. I highly recommend the lamb, swordfish, and Wagyu—they were all cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. The cauliflower appetizer was also delicious, with just the right amount of spice to give it a nice kick. Everything was beautifully presented, and the quality of the food was exceptional. I'll definitely be back!“

“a very authentic delicious food,and a great generous team,I highly recommend it“

“Wow, I had tried the jerk chicken over white rice with a side of mac and cheese and yams with an additional side of cabbage and my oh my from the first bite in the car to the excitement on the way home ! It smelled amazing and tasted even better! Everything was cooked perfectly, seasoned spot on.. loved the environment as well very friendly people! Will be back for sure 100/10“

“Bugün on the grill restorana geldim arkadaşlarımla kısacası bu ikinci gelışım buraya .Çalışan personel arkadaşlarıma teşekkür ediyorum restoranın temizliği ve yemeklerın çok lezzetli olmasından dolayı.furkan ve berkant arkadaşımızın güler yüzlü konuk sever olması mekanı bana çok sevdırdı.ve bütün arkadaşlarıma Furkan ve Berkan’tın güleryuzu ve aşçılarımızın lezzetli yemeğinden dolayı on the grill i şiddetle tavsiye ediyorum.“

“As wonderful as I remember. A true cc gem. Get the tiramisu“

“First time trying this restaurant. As someone who has lived in Turkiye (Iskenderun, Bornova and Ilica/ Cesme) Their food was amazing! We ordered the lahmacun, a cheese pide and shepherds salad. We ordered online and had very quick and free delivery. Tasted just as good as I remembered. Will definitely order again and will eat at restaurant. Teşekkür ederim!“

“First Ill start with the pros - the staff Katelyn and Fiona were soo sweet, attentive, and welcoming. Katelyn wasn’t even our assigned server for the night but she made our evening! The view is beautiful and the building that it’s in is so cool. We were sat down right away for our reservation and the food was really tasty. We were overall very satisfied and would return most definitely.

Now for the cons - I would have to agree the serving sizes are small for the price point truly. The food tasted yummy so it didnt necessarily bug us too much, but I definitely would recommend coming here only for a light dinner/ appetizers with drinks type of place. For example the fish we got was $75 (market price) and the pasta was a few bites per person for a full size. Definitely wouldn’t recommend a group of more than four people just based on the seating. Overall I think coming here for a date, birthday or nice dinner is a wonderful experience and I hope that the staff get the appreciation they deserve.“

“Without a doubt one of the friendliest people in Philadelphia serving up some of the best and freshest halal you can find. I go 2-3 times a week and singlehandedly keeps me fed on my days off from work. I cannot even begin to say how great the food and service is as there is simply nothing else like it in Philadelphia. Lamb/rice combo with extra white and red will turn any bad day into a good one.“

“Zaffron Grill is one the best restaurants at the Shops at Liberty Place. I love their food, especially the Steak Kabob platter,“

“Lovely atmosphere, very good food and our Waiter Nick was wonderful!“

“We catered a dinner at home to a wide range of guests and it hit the mark for everyone. I can’t wait to use them for take out more often!! The seasonal homemade hummus has never been a disappointment but this time it was unreal. Looking forward to our next meal.“

“Delicious and always fresh!!“

“Best spinach pie I’ve ever had! Friendly and quick service. Highly recommend“

“My first taste of Shakshuka and it was amazing! Very comfortable place, too. My partner had a smoked turkey sandwich that had a lot of great flavor!“

“Very great authentic Tunisian food.“

“Pizza is amazing and the atmosphere is even better ❤️❤️“
