50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Kearny

“My dinner was delicious and the owners were great.“

“First time there for myself. My wife had been there recently for lunch. OMG, amazing. We started with their homemade, warm Pita with Babaganush (sp?). Awesome. I had their Arugala salad, which I like wherever I go. This was amazing as well. Then we had our entrees. None of us could finish our meals, they were so plentiful and delicious. We each took home doggy bags. We told them we couldn’t possibly eat desserts so we ordered some to go. They then brought out hot Turkish teas for us AND a plate of a custard for us to share. Delicious!!! WOW! This place jumped right up near the top of our list for favorite restaurants. We will definitely be back.“

“For dinner we when to RUMI and it was amazing! Appetizers absolutely delicious all our dinners were delicious fresh hot completely satisfied . And then we had complementary Turkish tea and we all had desserts which were absolutely delicious someone with a sweet tooth would love. Will definitely be returning waitstaff friendly courteous and willing to accommodate in any way.“

“Had a quaint dinner party with 29 people and it was phenomenal, from the service to the food. My advice, if you want to walk around, dance and take pictures comfortably, definitely no more than 20 people in the patio area. That’s just my humble review, you do you! Everyone still had a great time with the space that was provided.
Thank you Hunkar Family for being so accommodating and being a part of making our wedding night so special! We deeply appreciated it.“

Flavor was very authentic Middle Eastern in both the shawarma and pickles. I also had their fattoush which was very good. 2 people can easily be served from both the shawarma and fattoush! Overall, good food, nice place. Will be back.“

He definitely made our night! The music was also such a vibe. It fit the ambiance very well, we ended up asking for the playlist lol“

“Nice Place“

“Very nice place Delicious food“

“The interior design is absolutely stunning! Very modern and chic. There are a decent amount of options to choose from the menu. Mocktail presentations are so cool and pretty, and the food portions are pretty good. Appetizers and main dishes are delicious! This place has very nice seating areas and cute spots to take pictures. Only note I have is the waiting time to order and receive the food. However, this was such a cool experience for a bachelorette dinner celebration, I do recommend this place.“

“Tequila Bistro Hosted One Incredible Night for Team Ed Rodriguez We recently held a meet-and-greet for Assembly candidate Ed Rodriguez at Tequila Bistro in Elizabeth—and let’s just say, Ed raved about the food beforehand, and he wasn’t wrong. From the moment we stepped into the warm, inviting space—with its glowing string lights, rich Spanish tiles, and that cozy outdoor patio—it was clear this was more than just a restaurant. It was an experience. The crowd came for conversation, but the Mediterranean and Spanish flavors stole the show. From the perfectly grilled seafood to the paella that had people going back for seconds (and thirds), every bite was unforgettable. The crab-stuffed salmon? Game-changer. And then there’s the bar—a destination in itself. Sophisticated, generous, and buzzing with good energy. The sangria flowed, the handcrafted cocktails were on point, and the vibes matched the moment. The staff made us feel like family. They handled a busy room full of guests with warmth, precision, and genuine hospitality.“

“the food is so delicious fast service always open great service good people“

“I got a falafel hummus platter with tea and cookies later , the food was fresh the falafel was delicious just like a middle eastern food , pita bread with hummus too, I have to try their meat dishes too because it’s halal and made fresh in the morning“

“Everything tastes fresh and perfectly seasoned. The place is super clean, cozy, and welcoming. You can tell they really care about the food and the customers. I always come back. Highly recommend if you’re craving something delicious and filling!“

“I come to this CAVA location regularly for my lunch breaks and am always pleased to see their workers. They are super kind, quite efficient and make their space welcoming for people like me to wind down and enjoy time. Big thank you to them!“

“My favorite Cava location to date. Every time I’m craving something fresh and filling, I know I can count on them. The bowls are SO customizable, and I love that I can choose exactly what I’m in the mood for. Their ingredients are always super fresh, and I can tell they put a lot of care into their food. I’m kind of addicted to their Grilled steak! The staff is always so friendly and they make the whole experience feel welcoming. I seriously can’t get enough of this place. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out! 100000/10 the absolute best!“

“Ingredients are fresh and everything tastes so good all the time. I don’t even put dressing on my greens+grains bowl.“

“I ate good. They park at a nice spot for walking traffic. Looks like good people and rating reflects their quality. Salchipapas went so flipping hard.Hello again, I tried the chicken parm wrap and the chicken+marinara melted in my mouth. The chicken was delicious and hot. Gonna try and eat everything there over time (except spicy food )Also the snicker bar was 25 cents cheaper than the lame rutger vending machines, but 25 cents more pricier than njit vending machine ?. It was $2.“

“We ordered two chicken shawarmas and not only was the food OUT OF THIS WORLD (order the bakalava and thank me later) but the packaging was IMPECCABLE and it was so fun to eat. It wasn’t just lunch, it was unwrapping a thoughtful experience and being consumed by the magic of unwrapping it while your senses are exploding from the beautiful colors, amazing crunch, savory tastes and gorgeous visuals. HIGHLY recommend omg so good. Nap time.“

“Great food , great prices. Friendly welcoming staff. the classic shawarma sandwich and falafel sandwich are delicious. do yourself a favor and get the mint lemonade, you'll be hooked :)“

“Don’t let the racist comments deter you from having some of the best food of your life! Will eat here every time I’m in town!“

“Had lunch here today with a friend. Ordered my shawarma bowl and mentioned to the girl at the cashier that my throat hurt and I was thinking of hot tea. She put together a cup of tea with fresh ginger and honey — so thoughtful!! And the food is top notch.“

“The restaurant was awesome! Service is really great, delicious fascinating any kind of dish. You must be just come here. Environment is really chill and beautiful. Only parking a little problem in here but rest of the foods and service, probably you are gonna be satisfied. We'd got the Ali Nazik and Beyti Kebab. Both were the delicious.“

“This place is a hidden gem! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent . I particularly loved the falafel and the pita chips with the yummy hummus. Yum!“
