50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Haddon

“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 ““

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

“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!“

“Outstanding! We picked BKG based on the reviews and I must say they are right. The food and service is amazing.

We all chose to be adventurous and go with the specials recommended by our waiter Fathi. That gentleman exudes charisma and is the embodiment of good service. We loved everything we were served even though they were all exotic dishes, which can be a gamble.

FYI. There are no alcoholic drinks and you cannot BYOB. We were disappointed about that at first because we like to enjoy a couple of drinks with a nice meal but that was soon forgotten. We travel a good bit and have enjoyed nice meals in many countries. This one ranks high on our list. Bon Kif Grill is a do not miss.“

“We came across this place while we were in Philly last month,July. We were looking for a place to dine. It was our first time with Mediterranean cuisine. Positive ambience as soon as we walk in, our server ‘s name ELIF ( hope i remember it right)guided as through with menu selection and showed the best costumer service . I appreciated the complimentary bread and the hummus while waiting for the entree.I love the taste of it as freshly baked from the oven. Food portions are just right. The price is also decent. We concluded with a Turkey tea…it amazingly taste good. Will definitely visit this place again….to Elif,thank you very much.“

“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.“

“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“

“I came here for the first time last night, and from the moment I walked in I knew I would love it. The energy, the atmosphere, the service, the food—everything was amazing. Luis and his team have created such a warm and welcoming environment—it was truly a pleasure to experience. Can’t wait to go back! Thank you Luis :)“

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

“Delicious food. Friendly people.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Absolutely delicious! Excellent sauces and meats.“

“Our dinner at Emmett was excellent! Highly recommend the Tasting Menu, you won’t be disappointed!! Don’t skip dessert, the warm date cake is the perfect way to wrap up this delicious dinner!“

“can't wait to go back hard to describe.. it was unique.. everything we ordered was so elevated.. 5 star service.. best dirty martini I ever had .. this restaurant is a winner.. get the cheese plate dessert“

“Superb experience! Joni was our bartender/server. He made the best recommendations. Food and cocktails were perfection! Highly recommend the heirloom salad with their bread service and skate cheeks over polenta was a flavor boom! Will be back!“

“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!“

“Hands down the best Mediterranean in Philadelphia and the service keeps getting better!
I’ve tried countless Mediterranean spots across Philly and Cilantro on South 4th Street is simply unbeatable. 10/10 service from start to finish.“

“Flavorful, delicious, enough food for two people, and healthy. Cash only, $20. No substitutions, no menu, no cutlery, no plastic bags, no water, no napkins, long wait in line, and just one food item to choose from--whatever he's cooking that day. It's the most amazing mediterranean street food you'll have in Philly.“

“Cava is the Chipotle of Mediterranean it's great. On the healthier side you can go unhealthy I recommend the pita chips with crazy feta (whipped feta, onions, and jalapeños) it has a tiny kick not hot at all. You can pick what they offer whatever is in the bowls they recommend but just choose what you want that's what I do.“

“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.“

“Very nice Authentic Moroccan food and the owners are very nice �“

“I love this place! The staff is always pleasant and welcoming. I am vegan, and there are so many plant-based options that are absolutely delicious! This is a terrific option for a healthier fast food experience. The rice and hummus bowls are my favorites, with falafels and/or mushrooms for the protein choice. I'm thrilled that they have eco-friendly compostable packaging as well. Oh, and make sure to use the app to accrue points for real savings on future orders ;)“

“our daughter-in- law planned a wedding in a month. Maggie was terrific to work with for husband and I with a million questions regarding byob setup. the food was unbelievable as was the entire waitstaff. Cozy atmosphere, too!“

“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!“

“Stopped by the Food Truck Festival in Pottstown today. food is excellent , service is great and they were very friendly. Got the rice/ salad with chicken and spicy pineapple sauce. Amazing!“

“Bladi is the best restaurant with multicultural food service with a kindful team work.I ate with my best friend the owner of the place, Mr Ahmed traditional traditional food between Egypt and Sudan which was tasty and delicious.I strongly recommend you to try it time by time and enjoy it in this place.Thanks“

“Friendly, clean, and delicious. I’m not a picky person, so when I saw that they finally opened an Halal spot in Franklin Mills mall, I was hype. We went here before the movies and the girls were so attentive and nice. Highly recommended. Will come back and it’s my first time!“

“Great atmosphere, friendly service and tasty food.“

“Best most authentic shawerma in the entire northeast. Must try!“

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

“Great experience! Came for a birthday dinner and everything was freshly made, delicious, and plentiful, from the appetizers to the kebab platters to the delicious desserts!! Great, friendly service! Will certainly be back.“

“Delicious mix of Mediterranean and American food! The food is SO good! We’ve been here several times for good and drinks .“

“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.“

“When Dear Daphni first opened it used to be my favorite happy hour spot in Philly. I appreciated the emphasis on the middle eastern tradition of sharing food at the table. Everything is delicious and plentiful. I liked having an alternative to Laser Wolf that was not supporting Michael Solomonov, as I don’t approve of his business practices or values. It was nice to be able to have a good value drink and vegetarian meal.
This last visit we were informed that they now charge a la carte for everything with no refills. What was once the best deal in Philly now is the same as you’ll find at any overpriced restaurant. While the food is still amazing, it doesn’t stand out from the crowd now that they’ve strayed from those values. I understand the rising prices of food everywhere. But to go from free unlimited mezze, rice, and dessert with any entree right to an extra $36 with no refills was simply absurd. I think this could have been done in a way that at least eases you into price increases. Maybe have fewer mezze, even one mezze special. Maybe include free refills. Maybe charge a la carte per mezze. This change is going to leave many customers feeling blindsided and it breaks trust with regulars like me. I would still recommend the delicious food here, but it’s no longer a top restaurant in Philly for me. I am sad because I used to recommend this spot to everyone, now I am more hesitant. (As a side note they also got rid of my favorite mezze, the pistachio dip. double whammy…)
That being said, almost everything I have tried is so good. The hummus, muhammara, salmon kebab, eggplant, broccoli, ice cream, and all drinks are spectacular. The greek salad and filo saganaki left me less than impressed. I just think they need more vegetarian options for entrees now that you have to pay for the mezze.
Literally grieving this place! It was good while it lasted :(“

“The staff is amazing, so friendly and welcoming. It was our first visit, and they were not rushing us to place our order. Expect to wait during peak time. BUT Worth the wait, coffee ☕️ so yummy!!“

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

“Loved our brunch today. We stumbled on this place while visiting Philly. Was intrigued by all the Zagat stickers and went inside. Sampled the weekend brunch menu, Moroccan eggs, crab benedict, French toast and the spinach quiche. All dishes were delicious. But, since I had never had Moroccan eggs before, was very excited about trying that and so enjoyed the spice combo. Also really enjoyed the Moroccan tea. Lovely neighborhood bistro. Fabulous service and experience. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“Service is great, location is very nice, but their portion sizes seem small. I've ordered pick up at least 5 times now, the first time I felt pretty blown away by the portion and then it's been small since then. The bowls are not filled up all the way, I wouldn't even mind mostly rice and lettuce. Nothing like the images they have of their bowls online. The wraps could be more packed, and the sauces spread out better throughout. Otherwise, the food is all tasty and simple. I'll continue ordering from them since they're the closest option to me, but hope they are able to up their portion game soon. Maybe it's also just their online order portion sizes.“

“I was missing my partner, who is Turkish and lives in Turkey. So I went to Ramiz to reminisce of my times in Turkey with her. I arrived pretty early on a Saturday evening, so the restaurant had few people. I splurged on the Mixed Grill entree. Service was spectacular and the food was really good! (I can’t really publicly say better than my Turkish Partner’s cooking. ?)“

“Door Dashed it for the first time last night. Yummy and enough for 2 meals for me. New fan!“

“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!“

“Came in from Denver and was craving some great Italian. They did not disappoint! Service was excellent. Food was amazing! Clams Casino and Meatballs appetizer set a high bar for the rest of the meal, and they nailed it. Seafood ala Scannichios and the NY strip longjohn were hugely portioned and delicious. Others in our party had the Shrimp Scampi, Chicken Parm and a few others- and they raved about them. Tiramisu and Bananas Foster were sublime. The owner Christian and his family really made us feel welcomed. We will definitely be back on future trips.“

“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!“

“The restaurant was empty, so myself and my partner were able to get good seating. The service was excellent and the portion sizes are huge. And all I had were 2 side orders! We did order an entrée, and the size of it was good too. 5/5 highly recommend!
PS: They do NOT serve alcohol. The policy is BYOB!“

“Excellent, kind, authentic Greek dining experience. The food was spectacular and very flavorful, and everyone was in good spirits. Great price for such delicious food“

“Fast fresh delicious food, and I really sweet newly expanded dining area“

“Gorgeous location, great service, and most importantly the food is amazing. I fervently wish Irwin’s existed in my hometown as I’m sure I would become a regular. As it is, I will definitely be going back the next time I’m in Philly. The setting, on the 8th floor of an old school building, is extremely cool and aesthetic and they styled the space beautifully with lots of plants. The view is wonderful. I went with a friend and we shared a “girl dinner” of four desserts followed by pasta. I keep thinking about the gelato I had, which was flavored with sweet cream and topped with a layer of honey and a mound of pistachios. The sweet and salty combination was amazing. Another standout was the orange olive oil torte with a bay leaf-infused cream. The lemon pasta was simple with a depth of flavor and strong umami. The bathroom also gets excellent lighting for selfies. Highly recommend.“
