50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Lyndhurst

“Stopped in here shortly before closing and they were still super gracious and willing to feed us. We had the kebab platter and the spinach pie and it was amazing! We are definitely adding this to our order out options! Looking forward to trying the jerk chicken wings on our next try bc they happened to be out of those tonight.“

“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!“

“As soon as my sister and i walked in, we sat down, and i took a look around and saw how beautiful the interior was. The waiter came and took our order and maybe 20-30 after the food arrived. I ordered the truffle polenta while my sister ordered a burger. The food was really good. After we got dessert. We both got the tiramisu. It was great. The total was about $100 dollars, including the tip. The restaurant is full during dinner, so i would recommend reserving a table.“

“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!“

“Incredible opportunity to listen to fantastic music!“

“Incredibly delicious Mediterranean food. I got the chicken shawarma which was fresh and extremely flavorful. the potatoes and hummus I had as sides were similarly fresh and flavorful. The portions were generous, and they even threw in a piece of baklava! Some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve had in the city“

“Excellent food & service at Rola’s. This was my 1st time there & everything was so good!“

“My family wasn’t familiar with Turkish food, but we decided to try this restaurant because of the great reviews. We were pleasantly surprised by how delicious everything was, and the staff was so friendly, making our dining experience comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you, Salih!“

“It was my last lunch in NY before going back to my country. But!! This CAVA gave me soooo great experience. I am so touched by their service and kindness. The staff has also positive mind. I would definitely revisit here. Thank you for giving me great time.“

“I’ve never had Turkish food but I decided to try it out and it was delicious, I had the donor with lamb and beef and the chicken vegetable soup. Everything was great and good portions too. The bread they brought to the table was amazing as well as the Turkish tea“

“Everything on the menu is to die for 🫀 delicious & feel good food always always. + THE CEVICHE“

“Very impressed. It’s not often that you go to a downtown restaurant these days and have good service along with good food and a good atmosphere. Everything was seriously delicious. We were bummed out that they didn’t have any Bronzino, considering our table doesn’t eat any meat or shellfish. We got the Dover soul as a replacement for the Bronzino, we all really normally like Dover soul, but this was not prepared well.
The chef was super accommodating and replaced the item for another salad. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great. They were super accommodating with large parties and I think overall this spot will be a staple.“

“So stoked to finally have our fav Toronto Mediterranean hotspot now available in the Big Apple. The lamb baklava is a MUST and paired with a Mezcal Smokeshow… 🔥“

“It is a very tasty and very clean restaurant, I definitely recommend it.Ali Bey opened a nice restaurant, thank you“

“The BEST place - I always order the 4 options of amazing tapas dips/ spreads with pita. Perfect when having people over, and always a hit at a potluck party. (And surprisingly affordable!!!) The atmosphere is romantic/ fun and yet still easy and casual.“

“Great healthy food 🥘 nice location“

“I cannot say enough good things about my experience at this restaurant. The food was spectacular. I will dream about it. Service was prompt and polite. Best middle eastern food I have had in a long time. If you are in the area, you must stop by. It’s worth it!“

“Cassandra provided the best customer experience! At this location for such difficult guests we had our dad trying something new and she was very patient w us and kind and courteous making our experience so pleasant ! Thank you Cassandra 🫶🏾“

“Amizigh Food Truck was hired for our company picnic and everyone loved the food! They had a staff of 3 friendly workers and the line moved fast. I had a combination Moroccan chicken, Shawarma, and Falafel combination bowl that was so good! The burritos also looked great, as did the vegetarian options. So glad my company chose them!“

“Each time I eat here I'm at a loss for words, but I'll try: My office is nearby and my coworkers and I have a tier list for 35+ local restaurants of all varieties. This one is at spot number 1. Their falafel is peerless, impeccable and downright divine. The chicken shawarma bursts with flavor within you and has a beautiful contrasting crust. The fries are gorgeous and extremely flavorful. The hummus is perfect.“

“Ada is a great restaurant and an enjoyable place to spend an evening/ celebration with family and friends! The staff and host are always so welcoming and pleasant. The delicious food and desserts speaks for themselves always made fresh and presented with such style. We recently celebrated a birthday and had such an amazing evening thanks to Selchuk and the staff.“

“Amazing service. Actually there was a girl today there directing everyone who was working and she was a rock star. Food was spectacular!!!! 5 stars for me!!!“

“Best place to eat a salad Nieve was the best.“

“If you've been, you know... they do great food here and the service is also great. The food is always fresh and hot without preservatives (you can tell), served fast, and with a smile. I've been a fan for years and they earn my loyalty with every meal and smoothy. 5-stars for sure.“

“We drove out of town for this restaurant and it was well worth it. The mint lemonade drink has the perfect balance of sweet and sour and the food was delicious. The food is especially perfect for larger crowds that want to share food. The staff are very friendly and fast in getting your order and bringing out the food to you. I also really admired the beautiful decor inside. If we lived closer we definitely would come to this restaurant all the time but since it is a very long drive we still plan on coming at least once a month.“

“It’s amazing they have delicious dishes , clean space and nice stuff . My son love their kofta???“

“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.“

“Wow. I don't know what the managers are doing here but they're doing something right. I came in at 7pm on Thursday after the election. All the customers were pretty much zombies with headphones in. But each and every staff was friendly, responsive, respectful, even smiling. And even with all the delivery staff. I hope they all get paid well because that's not an easy environment to stay positive.
I got my food to go and intended to eat just a few bites. It was ready within minutes and was so delicious I ate it all right away.“

“Really good food and service. Falafel and garlic is sauce is out of this world.“

“The food was more than excellent. The lamb stew is out of this world. The service was excellent. It's a small space with ambitiously too many tables. We were 2 sitting between a fireplace and another table of 4. I could barely move without touching the person right next to me on the other table (happened at least 3 times), let alone have a private coversation. Although the fireplace adds a beautiful atmosphere and wonderful perfume, it was 50° outside and we were roasting sitting next to it. Maybe consider eliminating a table and spreading the remaining ones with a bit more spacing? I was there with my son, we're not particularly big or wide, but my husband would have not been able to fit in there.“

“Wonderful Christmas Eve dinner on our visit to NYC. Service & Food were both excellent. Lovely family setting.“

“Great and conviene location. Manager Amanda, exceed my expectations, she recommended the best option for my digestive allergies- she’s wonderful. Would definitely be back, extremely happy with the service and customer care. Thanks Amanda ?!“
