28 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Highland Park

“Was impressed with the decor, service and food. The BBQ burger was cooked perfectly! Made with fresh meat (not frozen formed patty) - not sure whst the English would be but I know it in Yiddish as “hockfleish.” The BBQ sauce added to the taste of the meat without being overpowering and the onion, pickle, lettuce and the challah bun were all extremely fresh. Looking forward to coming back snd trying the other choices!“

“We’ve become “regulars” at this wonderful restaurant, soon after they became kosher. We visit regularly, and get takeout pretty often. The food is great! It’s consistent and just SO tasty. And the staff… Absolutely terrific!!!“

“A Greek experience away from home. All are super authentic from the deserts to the coffee.“

“I love this restaurant so much! I've ordered the grilled octopus appetizer two weeks in a row—it's absolutely delicious. The meat is tender and fragrant, absolutely worth a try. For my main course, I had the chicken souvlaki with lemon potatoes, which was delicious and perfectly seasoned. The accompanying olive bread was the perfect icing on the cake and complemented every dish perfectly. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The service is personalized and relaxed, creating a homely dining experience. They also offer BYOB (Bring Your Own Wine), which is a real plus! People always seem happy dining at Pithari Taverna—perhaps because of the warm atmosphere, the delicious food, or simply because of the authentic Greek atmosphere🥰“

“Fresh, flavorful, great quality. well seasoned with awesome layers of flavors. beyond impressed. out of towner who swung in for a quick meal before a show. byob is an awesome touch and makes up for the slightly higher pricing. service is great too with knowledgeable and friendly staff. 5/5“

“For a $1000 meal I expect flawless service and unfortunately that was not the case. Drinks ordered during dinner arrived while eating desert. Two times they brought over the wrong drinks and one order they completely forgot.. Also when waiter brings over food he should know who ordered what and not have to ask again. Food was good but service needs improvement if those are the prices you will be charging.“

“extremely generous portions and fresh ingredients at Hummus Republic. honestly i always get the same thing but it never disappoints - lemon chicken is tasty and the garlic jalapeño tahini is a little spicy so it’s a nice touch. the bowl is huge and stuffed to the brim every time - it lasts me for basically two meals and it’s affordable considering how much food you get (about $15 depending if you add any extras). they also have self-service lemonade - the pomegranate and mango lemonade mix is delicious!“

“Wonderful experience dining here. Delicious chicken combo for 2 - chicken chops especially good!, varied dips with pita, large servings. It was all great. Service and atmosphere were super too. Will definitely be back, highly recommend.“

The kofta was ok but not the best ,Tahina salad was good and the hawawshy was nice for here in the us not BAs,but you guys have to try it“

“Great ambience with even better food. The server was really good he made us felt welcome and also suggested what we should order. Lamb Adana kababs were very authentic and really tasty I will suggest it as a must have if you like Mediterranean food. Also ordered Tas kabab, it was really good, the meat was really tender and gravy complimented the rice it was served with.“

“Great place for Gyro sandwiches and platters.The food is simply delicious !!! 😊“

“Mamoun’s Falafel is hands down the best spot for falafel—crispy on the outside, perfectly fluffy on the inside, and packed with flavor. Their lamb platter is incredible—juicy, tender, and seasoned to perfection. The vegetarian platter is just as amazing, loaded with fresh ingredients and bold flavors.

One thing you have to do is order the garlic sauce and hot sauce they take everything to the next level! The combination of flavors is absolutely delicious, and every bite is satisfying.

If you’re craving authentic, high-quality Mediterranean food, this is the place to go. 10/10 would recommend!“

“The restaurant was very clean, and the food was absolutely delicious. Our server was also very friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. My only comment is about the Turkish coffee and tea — I was expecting a more authentic preparation rather than something closer to espresso, especially since we came for the experience. That said, overall, the food was excellent, and we really enjoyed our visit“

“Absolutely delight. Delicious food. Every bite reminded me of back home. We had the Kabul combo and lamb shank, which is traditional afghani dish. The meat was falling off the bone and the curry was amazing. I highly recommend this place for a family night out. I will definitely be coming back for more.“

“So me and my wife never had halal food. We ordered the hot spot platter and we were Blown away they serve you a generous amount of food which is worth the money. They also have sides you can choose to add on like jalapeños and and pickles etc. Everything is fresh like if it was just cut and pickled right then and there I couldn't believe that a small jalapeños piece had so much flavor to it. Definitely will be going back if I could give more than 5 stars I would“

“I ordered a maple cold brew with pistachio cold foam from their winter menu and a few donuts. It was all delicious!“

“We got the combination platter for two. More than enough food. Everything was delicious and the staff was friendly.“
