36 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Lake Hiawatha

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

“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.“

“If you’re in the Montville/Boonton area, you’ve got to check out Howards mediterranean Café and Bagels — absolutely top-notch! Not only is the food legit, but the owner Karim went above and beyond to support us during our soft opening at Montville Pickleball & Golf Club. Much love to him for the hookup“

“Checked out Krios Prime last night and now I see why everyone’s talking about it. Beautiful space, great energy. The octopus was delicious, the salmon was fresh with an amazing sauce, and the homemade baklava was unreal. Highly recommend. 😋🔥“

“We hosted my daughter’s bridal shower at Alev Mediterranean and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The staff was incredibly accommodating from start to finish and made the entire event feel special and stress-free. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — every guest commented on how delicious everything was!

The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a bridal shower celebration. We truly appreciated the excellent service and attention to detail. I would highly recommend Alev Mediterranean for both special events and a great dining experience!“

“Excellent food and service. Look forward to returning!“

“The most amazing and delicious Turkish Breakfast I ever had. Not only in New Jersey area. I’ve tried lots of places in the Tri-State area and it’s definitely 5 Stars. Everything is homemade. There’s a lot of food when you order Turkish Breakfast. The cheese on the platter is very rich. Definitely try the Turkish eggy toast. It’s absolutely so yummy. It’s only on Sundays 10:00am-2:00pm. The atmosphere is fantastic. Especially for any kind of showers or parties. I’ve found out they have 2 more locations in Cliffside Park,NJ & Livingston,NJ as well. The owner is super nice and he welcomes and is so polite to customers. The prices are very reasonable. They have a huge parking lot. Handicapped customers are welcome to restrooms and parking lot.“

“The staff was all very nice and attentive. The food was so delicious. The drinks were really good too. I got the roasted duck special of the day. The duck was still crispy even with the sauce on it. The tiramisu was also delicious, but I expected that from calandras. It's a fancier restaurant than I expected it to be, but the food was really really good.“

“What’s wonderful meal before the show!! Surprising gem!! Excellent food - so fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere is lovely and the restaurant is beautifully and authentically decorated and so so clean. We were really impressed. Our Server New everything about all of the selections. He was able to share all of the special ingredients for each item and with such a warm smile!“

“I had pastitsio in Greece that wasn’t as good as this! My friend got the lamb; it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Our pistachio baklava was the perfect end to our meal! The prices are a little high but the quality and care makes it totally worth it.“

“All of the menu's perfect“

“Always a delicious meal! Try it, you will love it 😍“

“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!!“

“From start to finish, our experience was absolutely outstanding. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and every detail from the service to the food was top notch. The new owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, checking in throughout the evening and truly making us feel like valued guests. The chef is nothing short of incredible. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. You can tell there’s a deep passion and talent behind the menu especially if you’re a fan of French Mediterranean cuisine, which was executed to perfection. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for an elevated yet cozy dining experience. A must visit spot that I’ll definitely be returning to!“

“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.“

“Had a terrible experience today. They gave me the wrong sandwich. Tried to call them to send me a new one but all you get is a voicemail. Emailed them and even messaged them on Instagram and they never responded. So I was stuck at work all day without any food or any reimbursement“

“Delicious Mediterranean food.“

“Esquisita deliciosa y buen servicio Selos recomiendo“

“Our first time here. The food was fantastic. The atmosphere was great. The service needed a little help. After we were served dinner it went down hill. They needed one more person on the floor and they would have been good. We will be back.“

Everything was fresh and super flavorful. Only complaint is that we live too far to visit more frequently. Will definitely be back again when we are in the area.“

“The owners are super nice, the food is always amazing and the place has a warm quiet atmosphere. This is our go-to place. I love the prishmi paneer, the vegetarian manthi and the Mediterranean delight. My husband always loves the lamb shank or lamb kufta kebabs with the rice, carrots and raisins. Either way we always have to share the baba ganoush and their special desert. Great byob dinner date spot.“
