20 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Kinnelon

“What a wonderful experience! The food was amazing, I even had the eggplant which I haven’t touched in years. Great atmosphere. Polite wait staff and the owner was a sweetheart! They really try hard to make your meal memorable. I don’t normally write reviews but I had to for Cypress Tavern. All of our guests had a great things to say about the meal and the service.“

“Jackie Smalls – My New Favorite Brunch Spot!

I don’t usually go out for brunch because most places serve the same old eggs and pancakes, but Jackie Smalls completely changed my mind. This has to be my favorite breakfast/brunch spot I’ve tried!

I ordered the Freekeh Bowl, Grains of Nazareth, and French Toast, and every dish was incredibly fulfilling and well-balanced. But let me tell you—the French Toast was hands down the best I’ve ever had. They use sourdough bread infused with rose, which adds such a unique flavor. The whipped cream on the side was unbelievably fresh (unlike anything I’ve had before!), and the maple syrup had just the right amount of sweetness.

If you haven’t been to Jackie Smalls yet, you need to give it a try. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!“

“I love my visit to Howard. I enjoyed meeting the owner who was very friendly and attentive, and even gave me samples to try which I love. I will come back here to see my new friends and to try the different things that they offer in their menus. I recommend this place With my five stars“

“It's a new local favorite for me!“

“While it isn’t much to look at from the outside, their Mediterranean food is fantastic and authentic (not some version of what Americans think it should be), and the service is stellar. The platters are perfect for sharing so everyone can try different dishes. They became a favorite after the first visit.“

“Arnavut çiğeri başta olmak üzere diğer mezeleri ve special adana kebap yemeğe değer.“

“I have celiac and am dairy free and felt very safe dining here. Ordered a gluten free bolognese and it was DELICIOUS and the mocktails/cocktails were fantastic as well. Can’t wait to come here again!

Dietary restrictions: Amazing gluten and dairy free options. Staff was very accommodating!“

“Shlomo's kindness and generosity is endless! Not only has he offered to participate in a PTO sponsored dine to donate today, but when our school staff ordered lunch to support, he refused payment and insisted the payment be donated to the PTO in full! He gets plenty of love and all is deserved! Thank you Shlomo and Gyro Grill for not only delicious food but for your continued acts of love in the Wayne community!“

“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!“

“Huge shout out to Fat Moe’s Mediterranean Food on Rte 23 in Butler. I placed a large order consisting of kebab platter, shawarma cheesesteak sandwich, mixed grill platter, tabouleh salad, stuffed grape leaves, baba ghanoush, cheese borek, and basbousa, accompanied by pickles and sauces,for delivery for 4pm. Not only were they punctual but the food was delicious and reminded me of my days in Egypt where I grew up. Furthermore, at around 5 pm I got a call from Moe, the owner to ask me whether I was satisfied with the order and to let him know how he could make it better… That goes way beyond quality service !! I highly recommend his restaurant and wish him the best of luck !👏👏👏“

“5 stars! Great drinks and they offer a happy hour !! Food was very good , with big selection and very reasonably priced.“

“Great service. Excellent food!“

“Always a great meal. The staff is great. We just keep going back. You gotta try it.“

“This is a delightful restaurant with fresh, exotic food. I will be back!“

“We went for the first time last Sunday. All I can say is wow. From the wait staff to the kitchen staff to management, everyone was incredibly friendly, unbelievably accommodating when it came to food allergies (they came out to talk about everything in specific detail to make sure it was safe before it was cooked and served), and the food was absolutely delicious!! I would absolutely recommend trying Marakesh out if you haven't been. They will be more than happy to go over the menu and explain anything you might not recognize or need changed because of restrictions. You can also call ahead so it can be prepped ahead of time for you. I will definitely be back again!!“

“might be the best Turkish food I've had. The lentil soup was amazing. 3 course lunch special fir $19. Will definitely be back“

“Awesome pizza- great slices. Especially enjoyed the chicken pizza with light lemon; unique and delicious! Very friendly, nice to support a family business. While I was just passing through on a trip, would definitely visit again whenever in Boonton.“

“Great staff. Excellent calzones. Generous with portions. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I love their Chicken Pita wrap and wings.Make sure to ask for “double fried” which makes it extra crispy like the Korean Fried Chicken. My favorite sauce of choice always would be honey bbq. The Gyro platter is my second favorite but I will always go for the Chicken Pita wrap because the meat and sauce consistency is excellent.They also have a banana pudding that you cannot forget to buy as a side. I normally hate chunky bananas in my banana pudding but theirs is absolutely my favorite. (No chunky banana’s)The service is okay (that’s where I give it 4.5) there is one guy there that never smiles or laughs I’m not sure what his issue is but every time I went there in the lunch time he never seemed to be welcoming but I never let that affect me. I just come the hours he’s not there. But either way the other employees and owner are fantastic don’t let one mood ruin your whole day.The food is great. Overall I would pick this place when I need my gyro fix in the Wayne area.“
