50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Secaucus

“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! 🫡“

“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.“

“Casual, friendly atmosphere,eclectic menu, looking forward to my next visit“

“Delicious! Friendly service.“

“Wow! 🔥 This place was absolutely incredible.

The food was beyond delectable—every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully prepared. And honestly, the food deserves to be mentioned twice because it was just that good.

The service struck the perfect balance between warm, welcoming hospitality and true professionalism. The atmosphere is the ideal blend of chic and rustic, creating a cozy yet elevated dining experience.

We had a small mix-up with our reservation, but the manager handled it graciously and quickly got everything sorted out, which made an already great experience even better.

Part of me wants to keep this gem a secret, but it’s too good not to share. Then again, I don’t think they’re hurting for customers—they were completely packed on a Monday evening, and after dining here, I can see exactly why.“

“Amazing food, amazing atmosphere and AMAZING HOSPITALITY! When in NY you must try!“

“We are used to eat Turkish food and I can say this place has very good chef. The waiters are very kind and knowledgeable, and the ambience is also elegant and classy. It looks like an expensive place but it isn’t. I’ll be back. We shared several small plates and the desserts, therefore it was even cheaper.“

“My 2 friends and i came on a Friday night at 915pm and were able to get an outdoor table fairly quickly. They sat my friend who was there by herself before we got there which was nice. We ordered the labne, sweet potato, hummus, short rib with hummus and the half chicken. And that was enough to split between the three of us. We got a second order of pita. And we each got a drink. The total came out to about 50 bucks per person. Definitely a little expensive but very delicious. Our server was amazing.“

“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.“

need for the sourdough, the ricotta comes with a few slabs of focaccia

“Mira was an amazing experience from start to finish! The atmosphere was beautiful, and the music selection was on point—it set the perfect vibe all night. The drinks were strong, flavorful, and definitely worth ordering. The service was fast and attentive, and our food came out quickly without sacrificing quality. Everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and delicious. If you’re looking for great food, good music, strong cocktails, and excellent service, I highly recommend Mira Mediterranean & Hookah Lounge. I’ll definitely be back!“

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

“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.“

“5 stars always !!!!!“

“we had amazing time, the food was so yummy.“

“We came here with our large family to celebrate father's day and two graduations and we had a great time. The food was exceptional (especially the green beans, the mezze platter, the pasta al limone and the ribeye steak...) The service was amazing too, and our server Noya was great. Malka is a new favorite!“

“The pita chips were really good easily the best bit would go back just for those. The rice bowl was just ok though. I got half grilled chicken half falafel and the spicy jalapeno sauce with a bunch of veggies. Everything was just a bit bland no spice what so ever“

“Ended up watching the Knicks games here with friends. Everyone’s friendly. It was a warm environment and most importantly the food was nice. Chorizo croquettes are great. The mussels even better. Anytime I’m in the city I’ll stop by.“

“Delicious and friendly. Been coming here for years and bringing friends who visit from out of town.“

“After a cold and windy morning, not being able to get into one of the morning shows, we ran across this little restaurant by accident for brunch. They quickly welcomed us in with open arms and fresh hot coffee. It was one of the best brunches I've ever had, but what made it even more special was Joey the owner overheard our story, knowing we had a rough morning, and gifting us one of his comfort food cookbooks! The day couldn't have been any better. I can't wait to try one of his delicious Italian recipes this holiday season. I highly recommend the Little Owl. I certainly will be going back in the future!“

“Ali is the greatest server! The food was incredible. The drinks were on point! Will definitely be back.“

“Went today for the first time, wonderful staff and the food was incredible. Great size portions, every part of our meal was delicious. Cannot wait to go back again. Well worth the ride from Ramsey. NJ“

“We went for dinner on a weekday. The place was too noisy, you could not hear the person sitting opposite you, it was probably bad for my ears honestly. Please don't bring a date here lol.

The food was good, but felt kinda overpriced. If you like Scarpetta you'll like this.“

“Great healthy food 🥘 nice location“

“it’s a treat to eat at Miznon. Great food! Wonderful service and a fun atmosphere too!“

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

“Had lunch here after the Morocco game on the Fourth of July. The food was fresh and very authentic, according to my Montenegrin friend I was with. It was my first time having Balkan food and the owner was so happy to have me. We had a nice conversation about her family in Montenegro. I could have spent all day in there trying different food and speaking to the owner. I will certainly stop by for lunch anytime I come back to Astoria!“

“Incredible opportunity to listen to fantastic music!“

“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.“
