50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Maywood

“This little spot is big on delicious food, wonderful service and amazing hospitality! The food is always consistent, always fresh and always satisfying!“

“Here's the review Spencer wrote for you: My family and I just visited to celebrate my grandsons birthday- we like to get a bunch of plates and share family style and this menu was perfect for that. You have to get mezze and extra bread (must try the kubane). We also ended up getting three orders of the shishbarak for the six of us, it is way too good! I got the salmon for my entree which was cooked to perfection and beautifully seasoned. Spencer our server recommended the silan and the cheesecake for dessert so we shared those and boy were they something special- I can’t pick a favorite! He brought us a candle and we got some great pictures. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

“Tried Sultan Mediterranean after finding a BOGO deal online and honestly… such a good spot for a fun night out with friends. The drinks were flowing (we had about 6 altogether 😭) and everything we ordered kept getting better. The Hot Blooded cocktail was one of my favorites, the mojitos were super flavorful, and the espresso martini was perfectly balanced.

For appetizers, the grilled calamari completely surprised me in the best way, the buffalo wings were actually REALLY good, and the shrimp with roasted garlic + toast was insanely appetizing. Portions were generous too, so you definitely get a lot for your buck. I’ve also had their falafel before and it’s so good it’ll genuinely make you question if there’s meat in it 😂

Overall, great vibes, tasty Mediterranean food, strong drinks, and a really good time with friends. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area.“

“Delicious! Friendly service.“

“Fantastic food with large portions and reasonable prices. The bread is out of this world! It is delicious with the babaganoush, hummus or soup. The falafel was crunchy and flavorful. The kabob was juicy. I wish I'd received the tea that I ordered because it smelled spicy.“

“Overall a great time. I started at the bar and the bartender Kate was beyond rude. Too bad she made good drinks. Once my guests arrived, I moved to a table. Our server Gabriela was a gentle gem and directed us toward the best items on the menu. I will NOT return to a bar seat due to the stiff bartender. Table service is attentive and takes care of you.“

“Delicious food and amazing service. Can’t beat the lunch special. Excellent!“

“Great food, all tasted fresh and didn't disappoint..we ordered the dinner for 2 that included 4 choices of cold starters and calamari that melts in your mouth and the salad was so good and the mix kebab and koftas over rice was good too..will definitely recommend and we shall be back! 😋“

A special thank you to Lab and Ledio for their exceptional service. They were friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome throughout our visit. Their kindness and professionalism really stood out and made the experience even better.

We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend Dodona Cafe to anyone looking for delicious food, generous portions, fast service, and outstanding hospitality!“

“Went with a friend for brunch last weekend. We both got the Jerusalem plate, except I subbed in hummus for the avo. The service was fantastic and I think I would have been happy ordering anything on the menu. Looking forward to heading back for another meal.“

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

“Where do I even begin? The pita? Perfect texture and taste. The cherry tomatoes? Obviously fresh, juicy, and sourced from a great farm. The romain? Plentiful and CRISP. The Dill and Taziki sauce? Also VERY fresh, has a citrus kick somewhere, and seems to be made fresh as well. Because it doesn't taste like a store bought sauce filled with preservatives. The hummus? That might actually be where the citrus is from. However, the hummus is not overly salty! You can actually taste the Chickpeas and they use good ingredients as well as olive oil for the hummus too! The chicken? Is in NO way shape or form dry and it's actually seasoned! It's juicy and normal is it overcooked. The olives? Brothers and sisters I HATE olives by themselves, rarely on certain foods. But these olives are not overpowering and stealing the flavor profile, it just adds more depth to the flavor bomb of the Greek chicken Pita! The feta? What could be bettah? Seriously though if you can see this picture you should've seen that they don't skip on the feta either. Again the flavor is ALL the way there but not overpowering. While the texture is almost creamy. Probably with assistance from the sauce but still, it's not overly dry! 10/10 Would recommend & I will be back! Now the facility was spotless, the cleanest "fast food" I've ever seen. The staff? Phenomenonal, personable, kind, attentive to details, and downright superstars that make that place run like clockwork! Wooooo wo weeeee wo!!! If you haven't been here then you've got to go!! Moderate prices, exceptional ingredients, lovely staff, and clean facilities(where the staff actually care like the NW Expressway location in OKC). I'm out, ty for listening to my Ted talk! 🫡“

“We had a wonderful experience at Hayati Lounge, and a big part of that was thanks to Sami. From the moment we arrived, he was welcoming, friendly, and incredibly attentive. He made sure everything was perfect, checked on us throughout our meal, and provided excellent recommendations. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and Sami's outstanding customer service made our visit even more enjoyable. It's rare to find someone who genuinely cares about making guests feel valued, and Sami definitely does. We will definitely be coming back!“

“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.“

“The food is good and service is excellent. We had the price fixe“

“I'd give this spot a 4.5 for food and overall. It's a simple Turkish menu done very well. The place is nothing flashy just well executed food and service. We've eaten here multiple times and have not been disappointed. 100% recommended you check it out, I've heard they also have a great lunch special menu, I'll be trying that soon.“

“very fast customer service“

“Delicious food! The chopped salad was very fresh and tasty, and the chicken kebab was super juicy and full of flavor. I must come back for more!“

“We’re going to menace in the wet village for years and years. I was walking to Hill‘s kitchen and here it is and I was lucky enough to get a table in the patio and a beautiful summer Saturday afternoon and I’m here different than the one downtown and great cocktails. OMG, OMG with yogurt mint amaze balls“

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

“We either ordered the wrong things or it was an off night for this restaurant because our experience was nothing like what other reviewers say. Restaurant was so noisy that we had to shout to our table companions all evening. The imam bayaldi was oversalted and underflavored and pine nuts doled out as if they were diamonds. The shrimp was hard, dry, overcooked, oversalted and flavorless sitting on a bed of gloppy watery tomatoes. Half the lamb kabobs were ok and half were nothing but gristle. Servers were very pleasant, and helpful with wine selection but the wait for our dishes seemed interminable. What was good -- very good --the rice with the lamb kabobs, the rice pudding and the coffee. But too much money for bad (sorry, but that's what it was) food. As I said, maybe we ordered the wrong dishes or maybe it was just an off night.“

“Came here for Monday lunch. Food was good but not amazing. But the service was very slow. Ordered the standard lunch prefix menu (app, main, dessert) and ended up spending almost 2 hours, mostly in waiting, not what I would expect from lunches.“

“Allendale Mediterranean Grill is a great addition to our neighborhood. AJ and his team cook for you like they are cooking for their own family. Everything is always fresh and delicious. 10/10 recommend“

“Simon the waiter was excellent, after speaking with owner about our concerns..Everything was corrected . I look forward in returning next week“

“Very nice to meet Sonia. She was friendly and helpful.
I thoroughly enjoyed the falafel sandwich with the jalapeño and cilantro sauce. I was able to sub some of vinegar items with arugula and parsley. She also added hummus.
The french fries were good, bit could have been better if they were crispy.
I definitely would recommend and return in the future when I visit this part of New York.“

“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.“

“The food is absolutely delicious! We ordered the mixed grill platter, and it was more than enough for two people. Everything was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I’ve been here several times and keep coming back because the food and service are consistently excellent. Highly recommend!“

“Burası adeta gizli bir mücevher! Bu restoranı bilen ve burada yemek yeme şansı yakalamış insanlar gerçekten çok şanslı. Her şey inanılmaz lezzetliydi! Özellikle ahtapot o kadar yumuşak ve lezzetliydi ki hayatımda yediğim en iyi ahtapot olduğunu söyleyebilirim. Ayrıca patlıcanlı karides güveç tam anlamıyla nefisti. Kalamar, girit ezme, ege güzeli, eksi mayalı istavrit tek kelimeyle muhteşemdi! Restoranın sahibi ve çalışanları ise gerçekten çok sıcak ve misafirperver. Kapıda sizi güler yüzle karşılıyorlar ve yemeğinizin sonunda sizi yine aynı samimiyetle uğurluyorlar. Böyle bir deneyim çok nadir bulunur. Kesinlikle herkese tavsiye ediyorum! Bu restoran, hem lezzet hem de atmosfer açısından unutulmaz bir deneyim sunuyor.“

“Love the food“
