30 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Monmouth Junction

“It was great. Besides they were one of the few restaurants open around 4pm on a Tuesday. Friendly service.“

“For a $1000 meal I expect flawless service and unfortunately that was not the case. Drinks ordered during dinner arrived while eating desert. Two times they brought over the wrong drinks and one order they completely forgot.. Also when waiter brings over food he should know who ordered what and not have to ask again. Food was good but service needs improvement if those are the prices you will be charging.“

“Hey there ? I live in Islamabad, I visited Gyro King, the food is so Delicious and everyone who works there is so sweet and kind also the staff is so kind. We had visited many great places but I loved the Gyro King food. The Araby salad is so good in taste and all the other dishes I tried is also so yummy and delicious. Keep up the good work guys and don't let up on the consistency!“

“Stopped by Hummus Republic and honestly didn’t expect it to hit this hard. Everything tasted fresh, portions were filling, and the flavors were on point. Great spot if you want something that feels healthy but still super satisfying. Definitely coming back.“

“Wonderful experience dining here. Delicious chicken combo for 2 - chicken chops especially good!, varied dips with pita, large servings. It was all great. Service and atmosphere were super too. Will definitely be back, highly recommend.“

“It was my first time and I’ll certainly be back. The staff was efficient but simultaneously caring with food handling. The teenage girl, boy and older gentlemen ( didn’t get their name) who I assume was the manager handled my bowl with love. The young girl at the beginning of the line was very helpful and kind. She explained everything to me and guided me along the way. The line was pretty long but despite the difficulties they got job done. Well done Cava! I will definitely be back.“

“After getting totally hooked on döner while in Germany, I’ve been on the hunt for something the same here at home ,,, &. DoneRight Döner absolutely delivered. Friendly service, authentic, and food that seriously satisfied. Went with the mixed döner with their chocolate Baklava and it was everything I’d hoped for. If you’re craving real DE style döner or just want something different, this place is a must! Only thing I’d wish for? maybe some later hours ,,, because nothing hits better than döner after a few evening drinks!“

“With the bar as large as your is, the bartender, Anthony Kovach keeps constant vision on drink levels and show a very high level of customer service.. When in a bar and the bartender is good, I ask them for their name and yell them I appreciate the service.“

“Got the hawawshi and a kofta kebab grill sandwich. Unbelievable!!!! Everything was actually so good and getting extra spicy garlic sauce was a wonderful choice. Please rutgers students and johnson and johnson employees please try this place!!!!“

“Amazing food! Thank you so much for our dinners! Everything is delicious“

“Had it twice. Once a walk in - the 2nd preordered online. My only gripe is a peice of pita should be included with the bowl and not a charged extra. Either way very tasty.

Edit for 3rd visit. Ordered online for pickup..got there early. No one in store. Instead of making my order while I was there, I had to wait till my scheduled time. 30 minutes wasted. That is not only disrespectful of my time but it shows a complete lack of integrity“

“Delicious fresh food, and the owners are so nice and friendly! Our go to spot when we're in the mood for Turkish food.“

“Great tasting food with big portions at a really good price, the meats are well seasoned, I always order the scorching hot level spiciness and it gives a nice kick. On the Stix is a bit weaker compared to On the Rox because the fries could use a bit more crispiness, but overall a really nice place.“

“Was impressed with the decor, service and food. The BBQ burger was cooked perfectly! Made with fresh meat (not frozen formed patty) - not sure whst the English would be but I know it in Yiddish as “hockfleish.” The BBQ sauce added to the taste of the meat without being overpowering and the onion, pickle, lettuce and the challah bun were all extremely fresh. Looking forward to coming back snd trying the other choices!“

“Great ambience with even better food. The server was really good he made us felt welcome and also suggested what we should order. Lamb Adana kababs were very authentic and really tasty I will suggest it as a must have if you like Mediterranean food. Also ordered Tas kabab, it was really good, the meat was really tender and gravy complimented the rice it was served with.“

“Great friendly staff who make fantastic tasty mixed drinks and serve delicious food.“

“We got the combination platter for two. More than enough food. Everything was delicious and the staff was friendly.“

“I can’t believe that after living in Hillsborough for years I did not try this place out until now. We had a great dinner with friends here. The staff is very friendly and courteous, knowledgeable of food allergens and are very accommodating. The food was amazing, we will come back for dinner soon enough.“

“We’ve become “regulars” at this wonderful restaurant, soon after they became kosher. We visit regularly, and get takeout pretty often. The food is great! It’s consistent and just SO tasty. And the staff… Absolutely terrific!!!“

“A Greek experience away from home. All are super authentic from the deserts to the coffee.“

“I love this place! Chicken schwarma is sooo good! Generous portions and even the rice is yummy“

“Owner and employees are very friendly and that makes for a great place to eat and relax“

“Visiting Town and decided to look for lunch! My boys knew them from a NY City location. Perfect option for us! Fast ordering, delicious drinks, quick service, etc. our food was all pretty good… loved my Tamarind juice guys😋😋😋“

“Had a great time 😃. I came with a party of four and I ordered the chicken hunker which was AMAZING. Everyone else also enjoyed their food today. The baklava is very good aswell.
A very nice young man attended to us today, while balancing another table, and was very welcoming and attentive despite us being quite choosy. The overall atmosphere in the restaurant is very nice, very nice dinning area. Although it was a little cold inside.
I would 100% come again with this very homey and welcoming environment.“

“We visited the New Brunswick, NJ location on March 11,2025 around 8:30pm and must say we are extremely disappointed with the service. Here’s our saga: we ordered chicken Kakab platter in person and asked the person behind the counter to put the olives, turnips and pickle on the side. It was shocking to hear that the guy told me that I have to pay extra. I told him again I am not asking for anything extra but just that I need my olives, pickand turnip which is on top to Be put in the side he reiterated and said that it will be an extra charge. The manager had put in a new policy in place. Is there any checks and balances in place to control this nonsense This is so bizarre….let me ask you this …. If I go to a burger joint and ask them for fries in a separate plate (again not extra) would they ask me for more money? What’s going on Mamouns? Not expecting from you guys…. Utter disgrace…. We have been your patrons since last 20 years ….. its makes us think twice if we really want to go to Mamouns again. This is totally unacceptable.“

“I love this restaurant so much! I've ordered the grilled octopus appetizer two weeks in a row—it's absolutely delicious. The meat is tender and fragrant, absolutely worth a try. For my main course, I had the chicken souvlaki with lemon potatoes, which was delicious and perfectly seasoned. The accompanying olive bread was the perfect icing on the cake and complemented every dish perfectly. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The service is personalized and relaxed, creating a homely dining experience. They also offer BYOB (Bring Your Own Wine), which is a real plus! People always seem happy dining at Pithari Taverna—perhaps because of the warm atmosphere, the delicious food, or simply because of the authentic Greek atmosphere🥰“

“So good .... .....“

“Food was outstanding, ambiance was lovely, service was attentive. This place is beautifully decorated and has a peaceful atmosphere. My husband and I were excited to try this place as we are new to the area and heard good things about it. I'm glad we did. I would highly recommend. My only issue was my husband and I were ready to dine, we wanted to enjoy the restaurant, the vibe and each other. Our appetizers came out only a few minutes after we ordered and as we were enjoying them our mains came out. I felt rushed. I do want to go back as the food was excellent but I would highly suggest saying to the wait staff to tell the chef to slow down. This food and environment are meant to be savored and enjoyed!!!!“

“Great spot for Turkish food! The chicken Adana kebab was juicy and well-seasoned, and the rice and fresh salad made a perfect combo. Portions are generous, and the bread with dips was a nice touch. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere—would definitely come back.“

“Such a good spot near Rutgers! I got the lamb over rice and it was honestly so good. The lamb was perfectly seasoned, the rice was flavorful, and everything tasted fresh. The portions are generous too, especially for the price. The staff was really friendly and service was quick. Definitely coming back to try more!“
