50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Brooklyn

“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.“

“Hart’s has been one of my go to restaurants in the past couple of years. Love both of their sister restaurants in Manahattan. Food is always amazing and service is excellent. Their clam toast is delicious and their sharing plates are some of my favorite in NYC.“

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

“Miss Ada is an absolute gem! Every single thing we ordered was delicious. You can’t go wrong with any of the skewers, although the salmon belly and kofte skewer deserve a special shout out. Order all the dips, I can’t choose a favorite. The whipped ricotta and sweet potato hummus were amazing. Their dumplings Stracciatella is to die for. Don’t skip dessert! And their cocktails are not to be missed. The space is cozy and the service is great. Miss Ada is special, can’t wait to go back!“

“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!“

“Great drinks, even better food. My go-tos are the pistachio flatbread and the mixed platter (lamb, kafta, falafel). Very sweet neighborhood vibes - they had the Knicks game on and a bunch of us were watching game 5 together 💙🧡 and they have World Cup on as well“

“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!!!“

“Delicious food and vibes. Great hookah. Staff and owners are also very pleasant. Laila’s is a great new restaurant that I recommend to all!“

“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.“

“My favorite spot in my neighborhood in Brooklyn. Made with love. Absolutely delicious food, and everything tastes as if it’s homemade. I truly appreciate the staff too — everyone is always very welcoming. Thank you for all that you do, Dar 525!“

“If you’re in DUMBO, Brooklyn, you have to visit Meatup! The food was absolutely amazing — everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The meat was juicy, tender, and full of rich flavor. You can really tell they care about quality.

The atmosphere was cozy but modern, and the location in DUMBO makes it even better — such a nice area to walk around before or after your meal. The staff were super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

Honestly, one of the best spots for meat lovers in Brooklyn. I’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend 🤍“

“Finally checked out Fatima's Grill and wow, the fusion concept is super creative! Everything is halal and the portions are massive — we got the shawarma crunch wrap (basically a loaded Crunchwrap Supreme with tender chicken shawarma, fries, and sauces) and a Hot Cheetos asada burrito. The crunch wrap was fun and crunchy, with good spice, and the burrito had that bold, cheesy kick from the Cheetos dust — definitely unique and Instagram-worthy. Also tried the chicken over rice platter; the rice was flavorful and the chicken juicy, though I wish the overall seasoning was a bit stronger/more consistent across the dishes.“

“Slightly overpriced for what you get but food is consistently good. One staff member was impatient and curt when moving past my friend and I when we were waiting to check in. I get it’s New York but would appreciate kinder service when spending $65 per person.“

“Incredible food and cocktails! Wonderful service!“

“This restaurant is definitely one of my favorites! Not only is the food so flavorful and delicious the staff and service is also so wonderful. And when I say the food is delicious I mean literally everything! There is not one thing I wouldn’t recommend. They never disappoint. Even the atmosphere and seating is just so beautiful. The prices are also unbelievably affordable for such good food! This is a restaurant I would recommend to anyone even if they didn’t like Mediterranean food because they have something for everyone and nothing is neglected. Such an amazing place that’s worth many visits not just one.“

“I called the restaurant just to make sure if the places still open. The person answer the phone call I said was what time do you open next thing you know he hanged up on me so rude and that’s not business like with a customer that’s on the phone. I give you zero stars.. Who ever answer the phone 4/18/26 at 8:30. very rude n the phone. I'm pissed off right now..“

“One of the vest restaurants in NYC. The food is amazing and we are keep coming back over Andover.“

“Rana Fifteen absolutely blew us away.

A few of us did the Rana Table brunch and we were not prepared. It’s a full family style feast and it just keeps coming. Borek, marinated beyaz cheese, kizartma, artichoke spread, Izmir pine honey with kaymak, soujuk, menemen… dish after dish of incredibly fresh, flavorful Aegean food. All for $35 a person. Unreal value.

This is a unforgettable Brooklyn gem. Get the Rana Table, come hungry, you will not regret it.“

“I visited Yummy Tummy bakery for the first time today, with five other friends of mine to support a Black-owned business during Black History Month. The owner Melissa and Kaylan made the entire experience a delight. The two of them made sure we got all of our treats in a timely manner and treated us with such care. The sweets themselves were absolutely delicious. The fruity pebble cupcake particularly was the perfect amount of sweet, moist, and airy. If you’re in the neighborhood, I’d definitely recommend you stop by!“

“I just celebrated my cousins birthday (10/8) with brunch & dessert and Kitchen did not disappoint. I highly recommend. Aknur was nice enough to take a pic for us.“

“I just had the chicken rice bowl with spinach because I don't tolerate lettuce. Any place that offers spinach as an option automatically becomes some place I'll continue to order from. But when the food is good as well? SOLD!!! The vegetables were crisp. The chicken was flavorful. I don't usually like vinaigrette dressing, but the Greek vinaigrette was so good! I'm very happy!“

“Marson’s Cafe in Brooklyn is easily becoming one of my favorite spots — this is my third time here, and I keep coming back for the delicious calamari! The vibe is amazing, thanks in part to the big mural on the wall that really sets the atmosphere. Their Manhattan-style cocktails are top-notch, which is such a treat on this side of Brooklyn. I even brought my son with me, and the chef was super friendly and welcoming. The food is always incredible, and I’m definitely making this one of my go-to spots!“

“Very good mediterranean food! Everything is super quick and delicious but next time I think I will just ask for less sauce or on the side. I saw the Falafel made fresh and it was full of herbs and spices! I got the build your own falafel bowl with rice and romaine. The toppings all looked great.I would return.“

“I live upstate and I drive 2 hours just to come here and get lamp chops and rice best place ever I will never stop coming here no matter how far I have to drive“

“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!“

“The food is great, the atmoshere is Chic Brooklyn! The staff is cool and so is the neighborhood.“

“I almost stopped for pizza when I saw Holy Pita, and decided to give it a try. I had the chicken schwarma salad, and it was delish! Good portion size, easy atmosphere, and reasonably priced. I’m glad I didn’t go for the pizza, and recommend this spot for a quick, healthy bite when you’re in the area.“

“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!“

“Excellent food, amazing service and espresso martinis to die for! Go, you won’t be disappointed!“

“Every meal here feels worth the time and money spent. Delicious meals with no shortage on quantity. They've paid attention to visual details throughout. The personnel attention breaks the mold of typical service. I've been telling friends not to miss this place.“

“Ushqim, ambient dhe mikpritje fantastike!“

“I’ve known Queen since they first opened at HoY - the falafel and everything else is still reliably great and delicious.

I also love how calm this place is; it’s cute without being pretentious and this one of the very places I can sit and catch up with friends without having to scream at each other.

Pls don’t change!“

“We had an incredible time at this neighborhood wine bar. The ambience is fantastic. The ceiling to floor windows open up so you can sit indoors for the a/c but still feel an occasional summer breeze and watch the sun go down as you nibble and nosh. The service was incredible and it’s clear how much the owner cares about everything from the wine selection, food, to making the spot affordable and welcoming to everyone in the neighborhood. It’s also right off the G/F, so an easy place to meet friends no matter where they are coming from. I can’t wait to return!“

“We had a nice lunch with our friends from Arkansas. Rafi the owner came over to greet us. He was very nice. We had the eggplant schnitzel sandwich kale salad and falafel platter. The only improvement we could talk about was the outside of the falafel was too hard and crunchy. The service was great. We would go back again!“

“Delicious food, great atmosphere, service is remarkable ✔️“

“Ordered take out and it was ready within 10min. The chicken pita sandwich was so delicious. And the fries were similar to steak fries, and very plentiful. I ordered from door dash so got a BOGO for fries. The place has some seating, i didn’t spend much time inside but looks like a clean place. Definitely would come back for takeout. The food is a good value. .“

“One of my favorite lunch places. Fresh, healthy, and delicious.“

“We had a great dinner with impeccable service! The menu is not large, but it is creative--Meditteranean with a definite Middle Eastern take. The food was fresh, the bread was warm and the restaurant has a modern but cozy feel. And...there's usually a live theater show just steps away at Brooklyn Art Haus!“

“They are my go to every time I come to NYC. Absolutely Love the owners, staff and the food. I am so happy I recently purchased a beautiful lamp.“

“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.“

“Delicious food and friendly staff. Definitely coming back! Got the lamb adana and chicken adana. Melts right into your mouth! Drooling just thinking about it again.. absolutely lovely! They also played Turkish music and the atmosphere is very cultural too.“

“Good food well done and good service Reasonable prices“
