13 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Ringwood

“Such an elegant place to dine. From the moment we arrived until we left, the service was outstanding, and everyone was so kind and so welcoming. It's quite the formal place but it also has a warm, relaxing feel to it. We decided to have steak for dinner, and it was such a beautiful cut of meat and cooked to perfection. The dessert was wonderful so creamy and rich tasting cheesecake. Even the coffee we had after dinner had a wonderful rich taste to it was just such a great place to go. It is on the pricey side but I think every once in a while you deserve to have an expensive meal. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.“

“My husband picked up takeout tonight and it was delicious! Portion sizes are huge. My Greek salad with chicken was expensive $28 but so worth it! It had arugula, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, red bell peppers, 1 grape leaf, shredded feta and olive oil seasoned dressing. My husband got lamb and rice (rice has chickpeas). It was a huge portion.Vegetarian options: Salad, falafelsParking: It is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking“

“Always great food and a favorite. We've been getting takeout here for years since we moved to the area during the pandemic.The red lentil soup is my favorite and the spanakopita is amazing! We've had most items on the menu, you really can't go wrong. I prefer the Chicken Shih which is grilled and marinated chicken over the Chicken Gyro but they are both good. My husband enjoys the lamb.Because the dinning room isn't open yet and the blinds often closed, I think a lot of folks don't know it's open. It's a hidden gem in Ramsey and right near the train station.“

“Great food, great service, really nice atmosphere. We met dear friends for dinner and had an awesome evening! Every course was excellent, Stephanie our server was terrific, and as we waited for our ride home, Salih said I am going through Ridgewood I will give you a ride. Wow! Talk about full service.“

“A birthday destination for sure. The food is excellent and "from scratch "! The service was attentive and all of the staff friendly and knowledgeable. It is a small business so the feeling is very intimate. Their Nutella pie is absolutely delicious and unlike any dessert I have ever had. Even though I am not a Nutella affectionata it has a flavor beyond compare.“

“The best of the best. Everything on the menu is fantastic, but I’ve never been able to find a comparable chicken koobideh (ground chicken kebab.) It’s juicy, spiced beautifully, and absolutely delicious.My wife and I make an hour and fifteen minute drive whenever we can to partake, and you better believe we place an extra order to go for lunch the next day. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to some delectable Persian cuisine!“

“We discovered this place a few months ago after the other Mediterranean place in town closed. This food is way better. We get take out every week. Everything I've had has been good... shawarma, kebab, even the burrito is good. Fries are solid, hot sauce is great. They seem a bit understaffed at times but worth the wait.“

“Thank you a million times to Cara for simply being the best. She was so incredibly kind and patient with me as always. I come in about 3x a week and she’s just a delight. Never cheaps me with the servings and I really appreciate that. Cava is truly the best food. I’m obsessed. Thank you Cara once again.“

“The food is absolutely amazing and so fresh. It is hands down one of the most satisfying meals I’ve had in a while. We got the Shepard’s Salad, Lentil Soup and Chicken Shish. The flavors were all there and equally as comforting. Service was spectacular. They handled my allergies well and were so kind and hospitable.“

“I am new to Persian Food. We plan to go to Parisa East. After reading the review, we learned about your place based on Omid's recommendations. We follow that and we really enjoy your food, your service and your food quality. (Read what Omid told Jim who reviewed his restaurant). Ambiance is average.“

“We tasted the difference in the food quality. We suspected that they make everything from scratch, they confirmed it after our meal. All from scratch, including the labneh. I love labneh, but it often tastes similar and not quite as good as I remember people making it years ago. This place has labneh that is unique, homemade, and wow. It stands apart and high above the rest. The veggie mezzo($22) sampler is a must. Absolutely delicious. The falafels are homemade and the by far better than anything I've had in NYC or anywhere else in Jersey. I usually try to find something that can be improved upon and leave it in my comments. But I have zero feedback. I'll definitely return, hopefully often. The gyro wrap($14) was very good, but next time, I'll probably try a falafel wrap. This is my new favorite place. The people that work here are super nice, warm, and welcoming. It felt like we were at a friends house.“

“One of our favorite places but we hadn't been in a while. Stopped in tonight & enjoyed it as much as ever! Had the chilean sea bass & i was blown away - i often get the bronzino but wanted to switch it up & i was not disappointed in the least. I also like how they've had the same folks working there for as long as we have gone there. Honestly - I'm a good cook who enjoys Mediterranean dishes - but I can't do what they do!“

“Great food! Great atmosphere! All of the food is good. But one of my favorite dishes there is the Calamari. Whether it's Asian, grilled, or on top of Pizza, it's Phenomenal! Brought in fresh, and cut there it's the best hands down. I recommend everyone must try it. I personally get the Asian Calamari. Try it!“
