50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Brooklyn

“Go. Seriously. We went with a group of six for brunch and every single person was raving about it for days after. Hits every mark - food (first and foremost), service, ambiance. Only ding is that it's a bit hard to get to but if you're already making the trek to Greenpoint, consider Glasserie a must.“

“Good and interesting food. Crowded and noisy. Good and very efficient service. Cocktail selection good but mine was ok. Daily special of fava bean hummus was delicious Chicken liver with hummus reminded me of my grandmother. Half brick chicken was very dry and not crisped enough with a soury harissa sauce. (Was it 1/2 brick or 1/2 chicken?). Limited dessert menu“

“Delicious food and cocktails“

“I’m a server at a restaurant in Prospect Heights. My guests have been talking about Hart’s every time I make a wine recommendation or ask them where they like to go. 7 months after first hearing about Hart’s, I was able to go on a night off. Not gonna lie, the service was impeccable; friendly; open concept kitchen and kindness. Elan was immediately approachable and the whole team took care of us immediately. We will definitely be coming back - and I’ll be sending my partner with his friends since he doesn’t have an industry job.“

“I recently had a delightful dining experience at Leland Eating and Drinking House in Brooklyn. Starting with a refreshing porter beer from the tap, I then savored the incredible Japanese sweet potato, which was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The highlight of the meal was the Porchetta Sandwich with ZA'ATAR CHIPS. Encased in their soft and freshly made bread, the sandwich was a symphony of flavors, perfectly complemented by the crispy and tasty house-made chips. Each bite was a testament to their commitment to using high-quality ingredients and crafting memorable dishes. The cozy ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall experience, making it a fantastic place to unwind and enjoy exceptional food. I look forward to returning to Leland Eating and Drinking House to explore more of their enticing menu offerings! 10 star review!!!“

“Had some great dishes, but didn't earn the 5th star for me. Go for the seafood. Those are the best dishes. The lamb was very average and the kebonah looks better than it was. Service was great. Also, save room for the chocolate cake dessert. Simple but phenomenal.“

“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! 🥰🍾🥙“

“Cozy atmosphere and fine dining“

“Didn’t try the food but came in for drinks one night. The bartender told the best jokes and made my friend and I a drink out of saffron syrup he had made. So delish. The owner seemed pretty chill too. Looking forward to trying the food in the future!“

“Amazing experience with delicious food and drinks. Can’t wait to visit again. Staff was super friendly. And atmosphere was amazing !!! Bravo“

“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.“

“Overall, a solid dining experience. Everything I tried was flavorful, especially the lamb, which was cooked perfectly and full of taste. The rice was also nicely done and complemented the meal well. However, the chicken wings were a bit of a letdown—too small for my liking, so personally, I wasn’t a fan of those. That said, the drinks were on point and definitely added to the experience. If you’re looking for a place with good food and drinks, this spot is worth checking out, though I’d skip the wings next time.“

“I am sick of reading all these negative ratings that people are leaving this amazing restaurant.All of these people have never eaten here and are just making ridiculous political nonsensical comments. People of all types are welcome here. There are many local Jews that eat here. the food is phenomenal! Chef Rawia always comes out to check on the clients to say hello and make small talk. So many racists just throwing out lies. They need to get a life! I recommend Tanoreen and looking forward to having marinated lamb shank, Califlower steak and some Knafeh. I will be back soon and bring my friends. ❤️“

“Stumbled upon this Mediterranean gem while driving to a nearby Staples and decided to come back the same evening to try it out—and wow, it did *not* disappoint. They offer a $45 shared menu that’s absolutely worth it. Every single dish was beautifully presented, with rich flavors and generous portions. The food came out fast, but nothing felt rushed—the service was excellent and attentive from start to finish. The ambience is warm and stylish, perfect for a casual dinner or a special night out. This place is a high-end hidden gem in Brooklyn. Definitely coming back!“

“Kind responsive staff serving delicious breakfast.“

“אוכל זה לא הצד החזק של ניו יורק. נקודה! (גם קפה) גילינו ששף ישראלי פתח מסעדה, אלי בוסקילה שמו. נסענו לוויליאמסבורג לבדוק. המסעדה נקראת ״המסיבה״ ואכן היתה שם מסיבה גדולה. מקום מקסים, מעוצב בצורה מדהימה, רמת שירות גבוהה שלא רואים בכל מקום, כל כל הרבה עובדים מקצועיים ומסבירי פנים. והעיקר, האוכל, למות!!!! כל מנה מיוחדת וטעימה. מהחמוצים ועד המנה העיקרית. זיהיתי מיד סממנים בלקניים וטעמים שהזכירו לי את המטבח של סבתא ויקטוריה ז״ל. זכינו להכיר את השף, להרים איתו כוסית ואף התבקשנו לנסות קינוח חדש ולתת פידבק. הקינוח המושלם היה טעים ומבשר את בוא האביב. מומלץ בחום. ובהצלחה לאלי המקסים.“

“Everything was great! The lamb chops are fantastic!“

“Delicious , great service“

“I am SO glad I found this place! The shrimp kebab seriously is divine, I think I developed an addiction. Also, they have happy hour every day until 7pm and their house wine is so good. The place is cozy and relaxing. On a recent Saturday night I was there for 4 hours... they never rush you, the staff is super friendly.“

“this was only the second time i've gone to the palmetto, and i was lucky enough to catch their happy hour. that old fashioned was very well crafted! the ambiance of the place is super cute, great for catching up with friends after work“

“Was lucky enough to attend an 8-course chef’s tasting event. It was fabulous. Best octopus I’ve ever eaten.“

“A smaller space, but nicely decorated. Was able to walk in at 7pm on a Tuesday night for two with no problem. Food and service were both great. The mezze portions are great; really loved the labneh. The carrots are slightly sweetened and is served cold. Falafel hummus was plentiful and the falafel was great. Chicken shawarma was delicious; recommend getting a side of pita so you can make yourself a pita sandwich.“

“Good food, great service“

“Amazing food at this female owned neighborhood place with great vibe. It’s funky in a good way and all are welcome—no snotty Bushwick thing here. The cocktails and French fries are what hooked me, but try any of the specials or anything off the menu and you won’t be disappointed. Everything is delicious!“

Went in for happy hour and stayed for dinner.
Special thanks to Michael, if you pop in and see the vinyl wall, my choice was Born To Run

Get the chicken schnitzel, it’s the size of a subway train.“

“Good food, good service and good atmosphere“

“First time there tonight, the owner, what a great guy great personality me and a friend of mine usually go to another place nearby but we said let’s try it. I’m telling you I’m a food critic. I always have something to say this place is delicious. I had to rock of lamb, I had nothing bad to say about it. It’s a must try.“

“We went here for dinner with family a few days ago.
We had tapas, steak and chicken.
Everything was great.
The boss was very attentive and nice, as was the waiter.
The ambience was also great.
Here you can also simply enjoy your cocktail at the end of the day.
If we're ever in the area again, we'd love to come back.“

“Can't go wrong with whatever you choose at Medusa!“

“Good service, friendly staff.

Food was mostly good. The spicy dip (acili ezme) was excellent. Sis-kebap and calamari were also good.

The liver (ciger tava) wasn't great. The cheese pide had tomatoes and sesame seeds, which I didn't expect. It should be a classic cheese pide unless they ask. The rice pudding wasn't very good either.

The place was okay, nothing special.

I'd go back for the good service and the spicy dip. Just ask about the pide before ordering.

Parking: Parking wasn't too bad for Brooklyn. I found a spot two blocks away.“

“I was craving some middle eastern/Mediterranean food and this place did not disappoint! A great selection and the ingredients are all very fresh with the shish kebab made upon ordering. I had the build your own bowl and highly recommend. To top it off, the staff is very friendly and warm, even asking how the food was after!“

“I cannot say enough good things about my experience at this restaurant. The food was spectacular. I will dream about it. Service was prompt and polite. Best middle eastern food I have had in a long time. If you are in the area, you must stop by. It’s worth it!“

“For the last two times fish were like fresh from the ocean although they have some imported fish from the Mediterranean sea, cooked well and taste delicious. I don’t have this experience often but they deserve to be appreciated when they do well ????????If you’re looking for fresh fish like just out from the ocean this place is what you’re looking for,, also the way they cook the fish is Mediterranean more Egyptian way so you knowGive it a try soon you won’t regret it“

“Me and my wife had the fried calamari and it was really good add for dinner play The Chicken Francaise that was really delicious and we had the baked clams that was really good and that bread is really delicious as well we will be back again next time we're in Coney “

“Really like this place. Truly amazing hummus--so fresh. It is some of the best, tastiest hummus ever! Also, great desserts.“

“Being generous with my overall rating coz they have a wide variety of different foods including cool vegan options. Had vegan chicken tacos that were pretty good. The tables were dirty but they offered free Arabic tea which is nice, was delicious (I'da preferred it wasn't sweetened but open to try it how it's usually made)“

“Amazing food and people , feels just like home 5/5“

“Phenomenal birthday cake for my mom. Light yet not too airy, great natural flavors and perfect balance of icing and cake. Also, you don’t feel bad after eating it. It’s just sweet enough that it’s satisfying, yet it’s not overpowering at all.

The only thing more phenomenal than the cake is the owner, Melissa. A chat with her will make your day. She is a real one and a good soul. We’ve got to protect her at all costs!

Go to this bakery ASAP!“

“The food was more than excellent. The lamb stew is out of this world. The service was excellent. It's a small space with ambitiously too many tables. We were 2 sitting between a fireplace and another table of 4. I could barely move without touching the person right next to me on the other table (happened at least 3 times), let alone have a private coversation. Although the fireplace adds a beautiful atmosphere and wonderful perfume, it was 50° outside and we were roasting sitting next to it. Maybe consider eliminating a table and spreading the remaining ones with a bit more spacing? I was there with my son, we're not particularly big or wide, but my husband would have not been able to fit in there.“

“My dining experience at "Baku Nights" restaurant was truly exceptional. From the moment we entered, the welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff made us feel right at home. The menu offered a delightful array of dishes, each expertly crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Every bite was a culinary delight, and I can’t wait to return to "Baku Nights" restaurant explore more of their delicious creations. Highly recommended!“
