12 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Bay Shore

“I was craving mezze bad literally all day but didn't want to go to the place near work during my lunch break so I was CRANKY when I got home. Googled when I got home and saw this close by, forced my husband out of the house to drive me before I got so hangry I murdered him. Husband got a quinoa bowl (why anyone eats quinoa is beyond me but he really enjoyed it) piled high, I got falafel, and I got an order of each of the spreads. Absolutely hit the spot--also I make the feta dip (tyrokafteri) at home which I've been making for years and people rave about it (literally, like I'm pretty famous for it in my circles) but somehow this tastes better than mine?!? How dare they make it better than me?!? One day I'll figure out their recipe but until the I guess I'll have to keep buying it to divine their secrets. Falafel was crispy on the outside, tender and not dry on the inside, great portions. I only remembered to review with a picture after I mostly demolished it so sorry if you were hoping for a picture of the whole thing.“

“We recently went there for Mother’s Day. It was super busy! This place is so far the best Greek place I have been too. It is a hole in the wall but it is an excellent hole in the wall. We ordered two salads and they were both excellent. The one with figs actually had a good amount of fig pieces in it. Their soups were fresh too, not heavily salted. Their entrees were sumptuous, healthy and very tasty. We ordered two entrees and they were both excellent. Post lunch they gave out Greek yogurt deserts with fruit and they also gave a small cup of chickpea salad after we sat down. Everything was fresh. The pita bread was warm and fresh. After a couple of days, it is still fresh, unlike the store bought ones that harden. This was our first visit and it won’t be our last. The owner was warm and welcoming. The staff was attentive and caring. People waited a while for pick ups and that only goes to show how popular the restaurant is. The best part: prices were reasonable! 😂“

“Love this place! Such a homely feel and the food reminds you of a delicious home cooked meal. I suggest it to anyone and everyone who wants to eat great Cypriot cuisine and support a local restaurant!!“

“I cannot say enough about the incredible food and how unbelievably fresh their fish is. From the moment you get there with their chickpea salad, which is phenomenal and then there’s tzatziki, which is also the best I’ve ever had you off perfectly. There’s never a time I don’t come home with leftovers. The staff is friendly And consistent. Unbelievably nice and I just love it here we eat here quite regularly because it is absolutely the best Greek food I’ve ever had. Tell Nick I want you. Love everyone that works there.“

“My husband and I went on dates here. That was about 1970. I try to spend my birthday at Kabul, even tho my husband died in 2020. Delicious tradition. Have brought many friends here over the years. The quality of the food, and the delightful seasoning have been constants since we first had dinner there.“

“Finally tried Kalamaki and wow — so good. The chicken souvlaki was super juicy and packed with flavor. The pita was warm and fluffy and the tzatziki was perfectly garlicky. Portions are generous and prices are fair. Definitely becoming one of my go-to Greek spots.“
