50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Lyndhurst

“Small place ran by a lovely couple with all the signature classic Romanian dishes! This place is a complete hidden gem! The eggplant salad starter is just like my grandmother and mother make, the meats are excellent - portion sizes are huge and everything tastes like a solid Romanian place on my visits to Romania. The star today was the Papanasi - a classic Romanian cheese donut! One of the best I had ever! Highly recommended! Will definitely come again!“

“Two of us had brunch here today and it was a lovely experience. The staff were all very nice and helpful, and the food was delicious (I had an omelette and my companion had the eggs benedict; both came with home fries and a small salad). The coffee was good too, and they didn't at all rush us as we lingered over it. Prices were typical for this neighborhood (meaning a bit on the high side). The tables are quite close together and we were seated right by a party of six, who thankfully were speaking quietly, but I can imagine that that sometimes might make noise a problem. But today was great!“

“Amazing food and warm, friendly staff.“

“Nice Mediterranean spot, might want a reservation as it is a bit small. Excellent dessert selections and pastries. We enjoyed the calamari, hummus, and the mixed grill and decided the lamb chops were the best part. All of it was delicious but I would order just lamb chops next time, the mixed grill is a nice way to try several meats. The hummus and pita were very good as was the calamari and the sauce it was served with was very nice as well.“

Every single staff member here is amazing. Franck is a ROCKSTAR and made our meal lovely.

In terms of food, the dip sampler platter was so good and came with endless bread. Patatas bravas, salad verde, and beef kebabs were all perfectly seasoned. The cocktails we had (Neon Lights and Amaro Sour) were both delicious.

We also had a food allergy (dairy free) in our group and staff was fantastic with helping us order and flagging any sauces she needed to avoid.“

“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.“

“Our dinner was fantastic with Wancin , our server leading the way along with the cohesive kitchen which was entertaining to watch. We sat at the bar and Wancin made so many combination of cocktails. She was handling the busy crowd so well, she made our night memorable! Along with the view of the bridge and the city added to the overall ambiance. We will back to visit when we are back in the city from California.“

“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.“

“a perfect place to eat it's very good the meat more than juicy the potatoes a delight the service more than kind very smiling helpful clean they even offered me a traditional pastry the prices I was a little shocked at first there were 4 and we took 2 dishes and supplements I can tell you that I am a very big eater and yet it was enough for me to finish the day me and my family and to finish the service was very fast even though there were a lot of people prefer it's a 10/10“

Such a lovely place if your in The west village i would recommend a stop for breakfast“

“I came into town for a work event and on my last night decided to try this restaurant solo at a bar seat. My waiter/bartendr Hector was absolutely fantastic- some of the best service I’ve ever had in NYC. I told him I was bummed since I was a solo diner and wanted to try so many things so he proceeded to get me a sample plate of the pastas and comped some of it just to let me try them all. He was also so attentive and friendly….so were the hosts and just the overall vibe was so good. Octopus and lemon pasta were BOMB. This place is awesome….highly recommend.“

“We stumbled in looking for a spot in the West Village on a Saturday night and managed to grab a table, and WOW.

Truly one of the best meals I’ve had in the city. Everything was divine, free glass of wine, and the chef came out to bring us different things he whipped up while we waited.

The restaurant is too small for all of the people they need to have here!! There should be a line around the block.“

“Great healthy food 🥘 nice location“

“I tell you what????? If I live in NJ, I would eat here daily. The fries are the best I have ever had! It didn't even make it home. I inhaled them as soon as I got to my car. Thank you guys for caring to makengood food for the people on NJ. I wish you would open a restaurant in Nashville TN.“

“It's a pity because the service and food was excellent. But it was freezing inside. We had to change tables further away from the main door as did multiple tables. People were wearing their jackets. That's not what you expect from a fine restaurant like this. Turn on the heat! No idea why they let it get so cold. That said the service and food were excellent. The winning formula would be turning on the heat. This isn't old man complaining, it was genuinely cold inside.“

“Wonderful service…excellent food“
