50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Carlstadt

“Had a quaint dinner party with 29 people and it was phenomenal, from the service to the food. My advice, if you want to walk around, dance and take pictures comfortably, definitely no more than 20 people in the patio area. That’s just my humble review, you do you! Everyone still had a great time with the space that was provided.
Thank you Hunkar Family for being so accommodating and being a part of making our wedding night so special! We deeply appreciated it.“

“My husband and I was craving some good authentic pizza and let me just say this place DID NOT disappoint. The owner and everyone that worked there was super nice which made me love it even more. I wanted my husband who’s from Baltimore to try zeppole, he’s never heard of it and for me, growing up in Bk and Staten Island it was one of my childhood favs. They didn’t have any made when I asked about it which was fine but while I was in conversation with their delivery driver the owner came out with some. He actually went out of his way to make me some zeppole, and it was delicious and extremely nostalgic for me. He has no idea how that made my day and brought back so many memories to me. Their food is delicious, atmosphere warm and friendly. I recommend this place and we will be back.“

“Here's the review Spencer wrote for you: My family and I just visited to celebrate my grandsons birthday- we like to get a bunch of plates and share family style and this menu was perfect for that. You have to get mezze and extra bread (must try the kubane). We also ended up getting three orders of the shishbarak for the six of us, it is way too good! I got the salmon for my entree which was cooked to perfection and beautifully seasoned. Spencer our server recommended the silan and the cheesecake for dessert so we shared those and boy were they something special- I can’t pick a favorite! He brought us a candle and we got some great pictures. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

“Food was delicious! Fresh and unique! Loved it all!“

“Casual, friendly atmosphere,eclectic menu, looking forward to my next visit“

“We came here on a Sunday early afternoon and had one of our best recent dining experience. We live close by so we went in hoping it would be a gem and it absolutely didnt dissappoint. The garlic naan might just be the best we’ve ever had. The mussels were very fresh and not sure if it’s the season but the flesh was super fat. The sauce it was cooked in was also very very good. Dipping the naan in that sauce was straight heaven. We also ordered the rotisserie chicken, which we thought was a bit pricey at first but man, it was cooked to absolute perfection. Crispy skin, JUICY all throughout, with grilled lemons and a decent sauce. The service was also phenomenal. Our server had great energy, and provided us the perfect balance of attentiveness and space.
The vibe of this place is also top notch. The modest exterior is only hiding the spaceous, modern, and elegant interior.
Overall, we could not be more thrilled about this find and will definitely be coming back to try their drinks and sea bass dish! Highly recommended for an absolute treat.“

“Melissa and James create soul food with modern twist -- with big flavors! I visited P&C multiple times already, with family, friends and work colleagues and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to eat modern American with a lot of love. 🍷🍸🍹Their cocktails are equally amazing and delicious, they also have a fantastic wine selection and their freshly baked Pita is a MUST! Please do go and visit P&C to also support the local restaurant community -- they deserve it! 🥰🍾🥙“

“This is gem of a restaurant in west harlem. Chicken with hummus is exceptional comes with huge tasty bread rating 4/5…,.,Lamb with rice is just okay 3/5..,,Potato veggies also 3/5

Adani chai 4/5.,,, black tea with cardamom and mint is good too.

Yemini rice is just okay, I believe Indian biryani is far superior!

Service is good here. For the high prices they charge surprise to see plastic plates and plastic utensils 😊

Fasha(spelling) is also one item our waiter recommended. Stew with meat, comes with huge bread.“

Full of flavor. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience with great food and nice, friendly staff. Lloyd Hartford“

“Every dish exudes the flavor of sunshine and sea breeze, and the soul of the Mediterranean is perfectly presented!😄😄“

“Nice Mediterranean spot, might want a reservation as it is a bit small. Excellent dessert selections and pastries. We enjoyed the calamari, hummus, and the mixed grill and decided the lamb chops were the best part. All of it was delicious but I would order just lamb chops next time, the mixed grill is a nice way to try several meats. The hummus and pita were very good as was the calamari and the sauce it was served with was very nice as well.“

“Acadia is my go to today, when meeting with friends from past employment. You want ease, reliability and comfort in equal balance. I'm so happy knowing that my friends feel Acadia is such a able venue. And the wait-staff feels as friendly as those with whom I am reconnecting. Thanks!“

“Delicious food, amazing staff, and a great venue.

Every single staff member here is amazing. Franck is a ROCKSTAR and made our meal lovely.

In terms of food, the dip sampler platter was so good and came with endless bread. Patatas bravas, salad verde, and beef kebabs were all perfectly seasoned. The cocktails we had (Neon Lights and Amaro Sour) were both delicious.

We also had a food allergy (dairy free) in our group and staff was fantastic with helping us order and flagging any sauces she needed to avoid.“

“This is a great find. Their lunch special is a real value with excellent food and service. Restaurant decor is very pleasant and not noisy you can enjoy your food and talk to your friends in a very relaxed and fun atmosphere. I just chose it randomly and very glad we did.“

“Should be best best restaurants list in NJ!“

“It's a nice place, good and friendly service, caring for their customers.
While setting is somewhat simplistic, it is done in style and reminds of Mediterranean. But don't let simplicity fool you - food is better than your average tavern, by far.
It was a very nice experience, interesting salads, very good fish, cozy dessert.“

“If you’ve been to Cava as much as I have you’ve gotten to meet their motley crew of hard working all star staff. Today I’d like to shout out Jasmine (I hope that’s how she spells it) and Diamond. With one at the front of the line and the other at the end one can forgive the people in the middle for being lacklustre. Thanks Diamond and Jasmine.“

She was handling the busy crowd so well, she made our night memorable! Along with the view of the bridge and the city added to the overall ambiance. We will back to visit when we are back in the city from California.“

“I had a great experience at Cava restaurant. From the moment I walked in, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the ordering process smooth and welcoming. The restaurant itself was very clean and well-maintained, which added to the overall comfort of the visit. What really stood out was the quality of the food every ingredient tasted fresh and full of flavor. You can really tell they prioritize using high-quality, fresh produce and proteins. Whether you're building your own bowl or picking from the menu, there's something for everyone, and it all feels healthy and satisfying. I Highly recommend Cava for anyone looking for a fresh, flavorful meal with great service in a clean and inviting space“
