50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Demarest

“Just got home with our food that we ordered on the phone. This was our second time ordering from Yassou. We enjoyed our chicken gyros so much the first time that we ordered them again. Plus we ordered two sides - gigante beans and rice pilaf. The beans were absolutely delicious, however the rice pilaf was a big disappointment. First of all, it was not rice pilaf. It was basic basmati rice and worse was, it was seasoned with cilantro. Cilantro?? In a Greek rice side dish? And you pay $9.00.“

“We had the most wonderful and delicious lunch at Atlantis this afternoon. I had the branzino lunch special with lentil soup and my sister had the chicken gyro lunch special also with lentil soup. We ate every last bite! The lunch special (M-F from 11-3) is a great deal with a reasonably portioned 3-course meal and a beverage for $25! The decor and ambiance was inviting and warm. The restaurant was clean and neat. The server was attentive and responsive. The food was savory and delicious. We highly recommend this gem.“

“I ordered tray of Konafa with Keshta and was delicious. I recommend this انا طلبت صينية كنافه بالقشطه وكانت طعمه جدا.“

“The shawarma here is leagues better than anything I’ve ever had in the NY area. The service is outstanding; the owner invited us in while we were waiting for our friends to arrive, and gave us free samples of their delicious falafel. As for cleanliness, the place was virtually spotless. In a region where the closest thing we have to shawarma is usually “gyro meat” (slices off of a cone of pre-ground mystery meat with all kinds of fillers), having an authentic shawarma place nearby is wonderful.“

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

“We recently held a dinner at Olar for my 40th Birthday in their private room downstairs. Katie was a pleasure to work with and made planning the event so easy. Olar gave us several different food and beverage packages to choose from that worked best for our party. On the night of the event, Katie and her team were amazing! The food was delicious and the private room was a perfect setup.

We would highly recommend Olar and can’t wait to come back again!“

“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.“

“I tried it and the food is exquisite, I recommend it 100% ✌️🥰“

“Had their food for the first time the other day as takeout. Staff was very nice. Food was good. I had the gyro sparta wrap...very good I also tried their rice pudding. It was very good but I think $7 for a cup is pricey. I would go back to try other dishes.“

“Delicious food. Both the schwarma and schnitzel were tasty and it’s a lovely place to sit and eat. The people are very nice.“

“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.“

“Great service! Great Coffee!👍“

“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.“

“Taste Choice Shawarma is one of those places that just does it right. The rice platters are the best thing to order—flavorful, filling, and consistently on point. If you’re not getting a platter, at least grab the kebab platter or get the kebabs on the side because they’re a must-have.
The sandwiches are great too, packed well and full of flavor. Food overall is amazing, and the service is top-tier—super friendly, and sometimes they’ll even let you keep a bottle of sauce at the table so you can go crazy with it if you’re dining in.
Reliable, generous, and easy to love. One of my go-to spots.“

“There's a good reason you see so many 5 Star reviews - this place is awesome! The food is fresh, menu is creative and the staff are v nice. I promise anyone that goes that it won't be their last visit.“
