40 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near North Brunswick

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Wanted to try this place so I ordered DoorDash for lunch at work and sadly it was just okay to me 😢 I know taste is subjective and everyone has their own likes and taste buds, but I don’t think I will be ordering from this place again. I got the ON THE ROX bowl with chicken shawarma, rice, feta cheese, and supposed to be tomatoes, but they were forgotten and left off my bowl. I also topped it with garlic sauce and tahini sauce. The food is good, don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to give a negative review on that, I personally have just tasted better and was not really a fan of this taste. It was a bit of a let down for me, but I don’t want to bash them when taste is subjective. So what might not be that tasty to me, someone else might love.“

“So good .... .....“

“We had iftar at Kaizr in New Brunswick and honestly it was such a good experience. The food was amazing from start to finish. We ordered the mixed platters, baba ganoush, fries, and beef hawashi and everything tasted fresh and full of flavor.

The mixed platter was huge and could easily be shared between two people. The portions were very generous which we really appreciated. The baba ganoush was creamy and smooth, and the beef hawashi was so flavorful and satisfying.

There is plenty of seating so it is a great spot for iftar with family and friends. Overall we really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it.“

“An absolute hidden gem! ✨

We discovered this hidden gem when hunting for a unique and well-reviewed dining experience near to home. The atmosphere is lovely, the food is really amazing, and the service is excellent.

We got numerous items to sample, and I can certainly state that each one was flavorful and well worth it. Our server, Fatih, was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and quite helpful with recommendations. Thank you, Fatih, for your guidance! I enjoyed the branzini, mixed grill, and lamb pie, and the kunefe with Turkish tea was the ideal dessert.

They have live music on Saturdays, so bookings are advised. Parking is accessible on the site, making your visit even more convenient.

⭐ I highly suggest this restaurant for an amazing eating experience from start to finish!“

“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 ordered a maple cold brew with pistachio cold foam from their winter menu and a few donuts. It was all delicious!“

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

“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!!!“

“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 food and service, has been coming here almost daily lately! Definitely recommend the zinger sandwich 🙏🏻“

“Great food with a comfortable environment. Service was great and they were attentive. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to try Turkish food for the first time or if you want to try a new place, this is definitely a great place to dine in. I've ate at the Monroe and north brunswick locations and loved them both.“

“I ordered catering for yesterday , stuffed cabbage , kofta, chicken shish and kabab hala honestly it was soooo good , very delicious, all the people were so happy I really highly recommend Taza restaurant 😍😍“

“Great staff, meal options, and service! We order often and always enjoy the food and generous portions. Everyone is nice and friendly. It’s also located in a convenient area - easy to go in, order and get exactly what you want! It’s halal and has vegetarian options also so it appeals to all customers. Highly recommend 👍“

“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🥰“
