50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Hasbrouck Heights

“Very nice place Delicious food“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“As soon as my sister and i walked in, we sat down, and i took a look around and saw how beautiful the interior was. The waiter came and took our order and maybe 20-30 after the food arrived. I ordered the truffle polenta while my sister ordered a burger. The food was really good. After we got dessert. We both got the tiramisu. It was great. The total was about $100 dollars, including the tip. The restaurant is full during dinner, so i would recommend reserving a table.“

“Amazing food and warm, friendly staff.“

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

“Really enjoyed the shashuka and challah bread. The shakshuka had fantastic flavor and was one of the best I've ever had.
I liked the falafel which comes on a bed of tahini. The falafel were not dry and had good flavor. The tzatziki was a bit salty.
They have full bar and limited beer on draft. Prices were fair for location and quality.
Prices were mezze items ($9 each), shakshuka ($21) and a beer ($9), this is fair pricing. Chill environment overall.
Service was good. They have indoor or outdoor seating. The design inside is very interesting. Bathroom was clean.
I would recommend and will be back.“

“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.“

“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! 🥰🍾🥙“

“Hands down the best Turkish food in NYC. The owner-operator, Mike, is always on-site, adding a personal touch that makes the experience feel both welcoming and elevated. The food is clean, healthy, and notably free of seed oils — a rare and refreshing standard. The chicken chops are excellent, the chicken shish is top-tier, and the mezze selection is absolutely fantastic. Every dish reflects real care and quality.“

“The food is a absolutely outstanding!“

“Stopped in pre- dinner last night for small plates and drinks. The food/ drinks and service was impeccable.

Super comfortable spot!“

“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.“

“Previous customers have already outlined why this spot stands out. The pricing respects wallets and dishes are recently prepared. The staff was present when needed. This spot deserves its recognition. This place will get my repeated visits.“

“Amazing service. Actually there was a girl today there directing everyone who was working and she was a rock star. Food was spectacular!!!! 5 stars for me!!!“

“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“

“I’ve never had Turkish food but I decided to try it out and it was delicious, I had the donor with lamb and beef and the chicken vegetable soup. Everything was great and good portions too. The bread they brought to the table was amazing as well as the Turkish tea“

“The BEST place - I always order the 4 options of amazing tapas dips/ spreads with pita. Perfect when having people over, and always a hit at a potluck party. (And surprisingly affordable!!!) The atmosphere is romantic/ fun and yet still easy and casual.“

“Very impressed. It’s not often that you go to a downtown restaurant these days and have good service along with good food and a good atmosphere. Everything was seriously delicious. We were bummed out that they didn’t have any Bronzino, considering our table doesn’t eat any meat or shellfish. We got the Dover soul as a replacement for the Bronzino, we all really normally like Dover soul, but this was not prepared well.
The chef was super accommodating and replaced the item for another salad. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great. They were super accommodating with large parties and I think overall this spot will be a staple.“

“Had a lovely meal to celebrate my 50th birthday, the food was so good and the service was fantastic, I would highly recommend“

“Me and my family decide to have a late lunch here after seeing the advertisement and reviews on instagram. We loved the food! The atmosphere and service was amazing. Finally, we have a Mediterranean place close to home. You have to come try this place and by the way they have an outdoor in the back where you can have hookah for those who are interested.“

“Very friendly staff. Great LES atmosphere“

“So stoked to finally have our fav Toronto Mediterranean hotspot now available in the Big Apple. The lamb baklava is a MUST and paired with a Mezcal Smokeshow… 🔥“
