50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Wood Ridge

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

“Had their food for the first time the other day as takeout. Staff was very nice. Food was good. I had the gyro sparta wrap...very good I also tried their rice pudding. It was very good but I think $7 for a cup is pricey. I would go back to try other dishes.“

“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.“

“Food was delicious! Fresh and unique! Loved it all!“

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

“We came here on a Sunday early afternoon and had one of our best recent dining experience. We live close by so we went in hoping it would be a gem and it absolutely didnt dissappoint. The garlic naan might just be the best we’ve ever had. The mussels were very fresh and not sure if it’s the season but the flesh was super fat. The sauce it was cooked in was also very very good. Dipping the naan in that sauce was straight heaven. We also ordered the rotisserie chicken, which we thought was a bit pricey at first but man, it was cooked to absolute perfection. Crispy skin, JUICY all throughout, with grilled lemons and a decent sauce. The service was also phenomenal. Our server had great energy, and provided us the perfect balance of attentiveness and space.
The vibe of this place is also top notch. The modest exterior is only hiding the spaceous, modern, and elegant interior.
Overall, we could not be more thrilled about this find and will definitely be coming back to try their drinks and sea bass dish! Highly recommended for an absolute treat.“

“As soon as my sister and i walked in, we sat down, and i took a look around and saw how beautiful the interior was. The waiter came and took our order and maybe 20-30 after the food arrived. I ordered the truffle polenta while my sister ordered a burger. The food was really good. After we got dessert. We both got the tiramisu. It was great. The total was about $100 dollars, including the tip. The restaurant is full during dinner, so i would recommend reserving a table.“

“Amazing food and warm, friendly staff.“

“Delicious food and cocktails“

“I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant!!! Their food tasted SO good and tasted like it was homemade food. It was made with so much love, and the food was so flavorful and seasoned. Every thing I got, hit. I got the curry chicken platter, and I cleaned my plate. The mint lemonade tasted so fresh and refreshing. The baklava was really good, as well. The customer service was excellent and so homey, as well!“

“Melissa and James create soul food with modern twist -- with big flavors! I visited P&C multiple times already, with family, friends and work colleagues and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to eat modern American with a lot of love. 🍷🍸🍹Their cocktails are equally amazing and delicious, they also have a fantastic wine selection and their freshly baked Pita is a MUST! Please do go and visit P&C to also support the local restaurant community -- they deserve it! 🥰🍾🥙“

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

“Really enjoyed the shashuka and challah bread. The shakshuka had fantastic flavor and was one of the best I've ever had.
I liked the falafel which comes on a bed of tahini. The falafel were not dry and had good flavor. The tzatziki was a bit salty.
They have full bar and limited beer on draft. Prices were fair for location and quality.
Prices were mezze items ($9 each), shakshuka ($21) and a beer ($9), this is fair pricing. Chill environment overall.
Service was good. They have indoor or outdoor seating. The design inside is very interesting. Bathroom was clean.
I would recommend and will be back.“

“I had such a fantastic dinner with my business partner, who I also consider a friend! I introduced them to Mediterranean cuisine, and they absolutely loved it! They're from Virginia, so this was a delightful new experience for them. The food and cocktails were outstanding, and the atmosphere was so cozy. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive; they made us feel right at home. Cihan, the owner, even stopped by our table to check if everything was okay. He was so polite and warm! I can't wait to come back for another amazing meal!“

“The food is a absolutely outstanding!“

“Kitchen 46 is a hidden gem in the heart of New York City’s Theater District, offering a fresh and flavorful take on modern Mediterranean cuisine. Led by Executive Chef Guy Kairi, the restaurant blends classic dishes with creative touches, all served in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Guests consistently rave about the grilled octopus, salmon tartare, and vibrant salads, while the friendly service and cozy vibe make it a perfect spot for a pre-show dinner or a relaxed night out. Kitchen 46 delivers a consistently satisfying experience—and it’s a place you’ll want to return to again and again. Highly recommended.“

“Hands down the best Turkish food in NYC. The owner-operator, Mike, is always on-site, adding a personal touch that makes the experience feel both welcoming and elevated. The food is clean, healthy, and notably free of seed oils — a rare and refreshing standard. The chicken chops are excellent, the chicken shish is top-tier, and the mezze selection is absolutely fantastic. Every dish reflects real care and quality.“

“I have been to malka for dinner multiple times. Each time it has been a supernatural experience: the staff is kind, the food is delicious, and the ambiance kindles a torch in my heart.

The selection of dishes is excellent. It covers a wide variety of international options with an excellent twist. The schnitzel is to die for, the best in the US. The hummus is bold and creamy, it will transport you to the desert in the Middle East. The drink selection is superb.

One of the best restaurants in the US and a hidden gem in NYC.“

“Previous customers have already outlined why this spot stands out. The pricing respects wallets and dishes are recently prepared. The staff was present when needed. This spot deserves its recognition. This place will get my repeated visits.“

“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“

“After a rather serious medical visit in town, we needed a comfort food lunch and a place to meditate on the day. Cava's menu was perfect and Jonathan at the Winston Salem NC location was super kind and helpful. He had our food ready in no time flat! The outdoor seating provided a quiet atmosphere away from the music inside. We will be back again to enjoy the good food when our hearts are not so heavy and we can enjoy a nice lunch surrounded by such nice staff.“

“Very impressed. It’s not often that you go to a downtown restaurant these days and have good service along with good food and a good atmosphere. Everything was seriously delicious. We were bummed out that they didn’t have any Bronzino, considering our table doesn’t eat any meat or shellfish. We got the Dover soul as a replacement for the Bronzino, we all really normally like Dover soul, but this was not prepared well.
The chef was super accommodating and replaced the item for another salad. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great. They were super accommodating with large parties and I think overall this spot will be a staple.“

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

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

“Me and my family decide to have a late lunch here after seeing the advertisement and reviews on instagram. We loved the food! The atmosphere and service was amazing. Finally, we have a Mediterranean place close to home. You have to come try this place and by the way they have an outdoor in the back where you can have hookah for those who are interested.“

“Amazing food and very friendly! Our waiter was a hoot and made the atmosphere even more entertaining and inviting. Thanks for showing this Tennessee gal- your Mediterranean ways 🤤😄“

“Was looking for Mediterranean food for my wife and I on a casual evening out and we were not disappointed. Super friendly/helpful staff, wonderful atmosphere, and a wonderful selection of food. My wife and I got a bowl and we both loved it. If you are looking for a counter style Mediterranean place to eat this is a fantastic choice! All the food is made fresh. My wife ordered pita chips and falafel on the side and both were made fresh when we ordered. The pita chips were thick and super crispy. The falafel was incredibly moist too. Highly recommend!“

“So stoked to finally have our fav Toronto Mediterranean hotspot now available in the Big Apple. The lamb baklava is a MUST and paired with a Mezcal Smokeshow… 🔥“
