50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Demarest

“Inside the restaurant really looks like stepping on the streets of Mykonos. The baklava was amazing. We also ordered the falafel gyro platter and shrimp suflaki and chicken gyro. We all loved our food but what we loved even more was meeting the owner Thomas. He is naturally entertaining and charismatic! Chatting with him after we finished our meal was the icing on the cake. Highly recommend this restaurant!“

“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.“

“Was looking for Mediterranean food for my wife and I on a casual evening out and we were not disappointed. Super friendly/helpful staff, wonderful atmosphere, and a wonderful selection of food. My wife and I got a bowl and we both loved it. If you are looking for a counter style Mediterranean place to eat this is a fantastic choice! All the food is made fresh. My wife ordered pita chips and falafel on the side and both were made fresh when we ordered. The pita chips were thick and super crispy. The falafel was incredibly moist too. Highly recommend!“

“Jap konsideraten dhe rekomandimin me te larte per Nana’s Kitchen ne adresen 1809 Hone ave, Bronx NY per varietete e shumllojshme te ushqimeve tradicionale Shqiptare, per te cilat une se bashku me nje grup shokesh prej 15 vetash shijuam fundjaven e shkuar. Gjeta pas 23 vjetesh ku pergatisin ushqimin ne taven e balte, e po ashtu provuam mish qengji te pjekur, pace, qofte te zgares, sallate fshati e buken qe ne shqiptaret e duam shume qe e pergatisnin vete si dhe u embelsuam me bakllavane plot shije. Sherbimi ishte shembullor dhe lokali ishte i dekoruar me shije duke ruajtur traditen Shqiptare. Falenderojme pronarin Landi Kodra per kenaqesine qe na dha per disa ore ne restorantin e tij. Se shpejti TV Alba Life do te sjelle edhe nje kronike me te plote rreth ketij restorani dhe pershtypjet edhe te klienteve te tjere.“

“We stumbled upon Olar Noso and were very happy we did. The food selection was very diverse, offering a nice mix of Spanish tapas and Italian delicacy. They also offer a better than average wine selection, at reasonable (restaurant) prices. The salmon tartare stole the show, but the Gorgonzola stuffed dates, garlic shrimp, and meatball tapas dishes were amazing supporting roles to an overall great meal. Their homemade potato chips made for great table pickins as well. We'll definitely be back to try some of their meat entrees (someone near us had the skirt steak and that ranks top on the list). Well done Olar Noso (but I'll take my skirt steak medium rare when I return;)“

“Great food, very good service with a smile 😃“

“Excellent food, large portions and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend NAYA!“

“I’m a repeat customer and I cater from here when I’m entertaining guests. Reliably delicious food you can count on. Flavors, quality and freshness are always 💯 perfect. Get compliments when I’ve catered. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in North Jersey. Love the owner and staff who are so kind.“

“So based off reviews I decided to eat here and boy did it not disappoint! The food was very flavorful and large quantity of food. The cashier welcomed me answered my questions and served me with a great customer service and pleasant personality. I also ordered DoorDash a day later and they custom made the order the same way I requested it while at the restaurant I cant believe they remeber me. Assumes food assume service !!!“

“Great food , great prices. Friendly welcoming staff. the classic shawarma sandwich and falafel sandwich are delicious. do yourself a favor and get the mint lemonade, you'll be hooked :)“

“The brunch and the twin waitresses where amazing. I can’t wait to come back“

“Best Ethiopian cuisine I’ve had outside of Ethiopia! Service was great, atmosphere was vibrant, live music, open mic, poetry this place has it all!“

“This was my first experience at Aurora Honestly I picked it because one of the few that still had reservations available. Yet it turned out to be a great choice. My meal was very good, the service was perfect and the portions surprisingly generous. My only disappointments were the iced tea was not brewed and did not taste good. Also I felt it was a bit poor taste for an upscale establishment to charge a credit card surcharge.“

“1st time here. Had the wings (old bay), ribs, brisket sandwich. All were amazing. Arabela was an amazing bartender and took on the whole bar by herself. Kudos girl!!! Stop the free money so new establishments can staff!! Patience was needed but worth it!“

“They are great, friendly staff with great food.“

“We had the famous Dominican pizza and the chofan and for me the chofan was on point but my son loved the Dominican pizza.I went on a Friday night and I had no idea that this place turned into a club. So if you want a late dinner and then a party this is the place.“

“In the sea of Italian places on Arthur ave is this greek spot. It is pretty authentic which I love. I went with the pork gyro platter and it was amazing. The pork is roasted slowly on the spit and comes out perfect. The platter comes with three dips but I am not a fan of taramosalata (fish roe dip). The others were good. I also loved the greek salad and it was as authentic as you can get. I would recommend and come back.“

“Zaffron Bloom is an absolute GEM in Hasbrouck Heights. The family owned restaurant offers authentic Persian cuisine cooked fresh to order. The owners are extremely kind and will always do their best to make sure the food is good and you enjoy yourself. I’ve been looking for some authentic persian food for a while and this is easily my top choice in NJ. Seriously if you are ever in the area and are considering going here it is well worth it.
The food is cooked fresh when you order so take some time to enjoy the atmosphere and menu. They have everything from homemade cultural teas to fantastic kebabs and desserts. Not to mention their food is Halal for anyone curious. Like I said before if you want to enjoy some genuine Persian food there is no where else to look!“

“Service was great, the staff is friendly. Falafel pita was very good and affordable. I would come back!

Update: I was craving samosas and figured this would be the place to go. No regrets! I got the veggie ones and they were great. Not overly spicy and generous filling. The filling had a mashed potatoes texture which I loved.“

“This is a wonderful, delicious restaurant with generous portions. The appetizers are great and the mains are excellent. I love their gyro meat, Shepard salad and assorted appetizer plate. If you enjoy Turkish food you can’t go wrong with this restaurant.“

“A perfect balance of taste and atmosphere which makes it our favorite spot for client lunches and team dinners.“

“PIDDE DELICIOUS PLACE IN NEW JERSEY;
I’ve been living in the U.S. for 16 years, and the thing I’ve missed and loved the most is lahmacun. After trying it at PIDDE, I’ve never had lahmacun anywhere else again. At other places I’ve tried over the years, I always experienced heartburn afterward — but never at PIDDE.

It’s a place you can visit with your family and feel completely at ease. The food is delicious, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.🙏“

“The food and service is excellent. It is always an enjoyable evening.“

“Great service! Great Coffee!👍“

“Great service I recently went because a friend recommended and was not disappointed I ordered the beef gyro sandwich very good would recommend.“

“Moved to Irvington 2 years ago & its my go to restaurant , great food, the BEST drinks & amazing service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
