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.“

“The best Albanian food in NY😋👌“

“Delicious food and amazing service. Can’t beat the lunch special. Excellent!“

The atmosphere is refined and inviting, the service was attentive and professional, and the food was genuinely exceptional. A flawless 5-star experience across the board. We will absolutely be returning to dine in again and again.“

It's BYOB but the waitress (Elif i think) made sure to bring all we needed for the wine and checked on us multiple times throughout the night to make sure we were good.

That atmosphere overall was great. Customer service was great. Everyone there seemed very nice. Location was easily accessible to stop in and go. Worth checking out if you are in the area.“

“Burası adeta gizli bir mücevher! Bu restoranı bilen ve burada yemek yeme şansı yakalamış insanlar gerçekten çok şanslı. Her şey inanılmaz lezzetliydi! Özellikle ahtapot o kadar yumuşak ve lezzetliydi ki hayatımda yediğim en iyi ahtapot olduğunu söyleyebilirim. Ayrıca patlıcanlı karides güveç tam anlamıyla nefisti. Kalamar, girit ezme, ege güzeli, eksi mayalı istavrit tek kelimeyle muhteşemdi! Restoranın sahibi ve çalışanları ise gerçekten çok sıcak ve misafirperver. Kapıda sizi güler yüzle karşılıyorlar ve yemeğinizin sonunda sizi yine aynı samimiyetle uğurluyorlar. Böyle bir deneyim çok nadir bulunur. Kesinlikle herkese tavsiye ediyorum! Bu restoran, hem lezzet hem de atmosfer açısından unutulmaz bir deneyim sunuyor.“

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

“Our group of two couples were astounded by a lemon pizza special shared by the table as an appetizer. The unique idea of lemon on pizza seemed unnatural but was literally astounding. I couldn't believe how delicious it was with an undercurrent of salt punctuating the white pizza. A ceviche special was equally mind numbing in its tastiness. The paella was perfect. We had no room for dessert but will be back“

“Such a great space and the servers are so dialed in.
My wife and I went back for the 3rd or 4th time last night and we had such a lovely time. The drinks came out so quickly and the hostess was very sweet and gave us a very personal compliment.
I did the pasta w filet and my wife had the ny strip. We did crab cocktails and blue point oysters. Martinis, old fashioned’s, gelato and sorbet finished off with espresso martinis. No complaints. The staff handled the busy Saturday evening w no issues. Will return again and its great for groups.“

“My kids and I love this place and keep going back. The food is consistently great and the staff is always so nice, patient, accommodating and helpful.“

“this is the best restaurant best American,Italian, and Albanian food in the state I wish everybody can enjoy this restaurant“

“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.“

“Great service! Great Coffee!👍“

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

“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.“

“OMG. I am blown away by this Kabab Paradise location. It’s a wonderful family run establishment. Literally the best afghan food in NJ. The owners are always so nice and welcoming. Order food from here - you will not regret it. Best chicken platter ever!!! :)“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“
