50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near East Rockaway

“Ordered from grub hub, food never arrived. Called and was told it was busy and just went out. Waited another 30 minutes, was told food was delivered. It was in front stoop but driver NEVER NOTIFIEDME THAT FOOD HAD BEEN DELIVERED so it was ice cold. Got another call with the proprioter arguing with me that directions were followed. Who makes a hot food delivery and doesn't text the recipient that ir is there in 30 degree weather? Plus I actually increased tip to 20 percent. Will never order from them again.“

“Delicious and flavorful! Love the falafel! Pita chips are so good! Juices and teas are so refreshing! I’d eat here everyday!“

“We stopped by Abu Zayn for lunch and it was SO good. We started with Falafel and they were absolutely delicious - moist and crunchy and hot! Perfect on a cold rainy day. We also got the Chicken Shawarma (top in the photo) an Chicken Kofta (bottom in the photo) with cucumber salad. Both were absolutely delicious! The service was great - friendly, helpful, and prompt. The decor inside was beautiful- the mural is superb!
We’ll definitely be back.“

“My family and I had such a wonderful time celebrating my dad's birthday at this beautiful restaurant. The service was exceptional, Ray was so warm. Although the restaurant was very busy, he and the rest of the staff were attentive and made us all feel welcome. All of the food was absolutely delicious, and the portions were generous. We'll definitely be returning!“

“Amazing experience!! I go here RELIGIOUSLY, no other restaurant compares. I’ve tried other places but always come back to Taza. Their food is fresh, delicious and have a variety of options, not to mention with the best price. All the workers are super nice and are VERY generous with their servings, especially for the bowl. They truly care about their customers happiness. They closed for a few days for renovations and I swear I was having withdrawals. But 10/10, I HIGHLY recommend this place.

The Owners told us they deliver to our town in West Hempstead and cater! Looking forward to going back soon! Keep up the good work everyone!“

“BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE

I placed my order last week and it should have been delivered on Thursday due to the 2nd day air shipping. UPS took an additional 5 DAYS to deliver. I reached out to the customer service and they IMMEDIATELY sent me a new shipment. They responded in a timely manner and were extremely courteous and kind. This is my first time ordering from Hummus Fit, and I was influenced by 5-6 fitness influencers I follow on social media.“

“Everything was tasty except the Chicken Caesar Kale salad. It was crunchy from lots of sand particles. The kale must have not been washed well. It ruined the whole salad including chicken and had to throw it out. The Thai shrimp salad was much better.“

“Very nice sports bar. I huge amount of T.Vs . With every sport . The staff is very professional. A great selection of all kinds of drinks. I had a frozen chocolate espresso.

Perfectly sautéed (not over done) and extremely tasty!
Not to mention the generous portions!
Stellar service too!!!

The waiter was kind to everyone, total angel.

Also, side note, I notice folks pay more for the fast food in the food court, which is insane (especially when this restaurant is feet away, right by the entrance in terminal 5!)“

“Stopped by Kebab House in Great Neck and tried the beef kofta—great portion size, nicely seasoned, and cooked to juicy perfection. The flavor really stood out. It came with salad, white sauce, and warm pita, which rounded out the meal nicely. Only downside was the rice, which I found too mushy and a bit bland for my taste. Overall, a solid spot for Middle Eastern flavors with well-prepared meats. Worth checking out if you're in the area.“

“Ugh YUM!! The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the gyro mixed platters with rice and lemon potatoes and every bite made my taste buds sing! We also had the egg lemon soup, which is authentically Greek and tastes like home. Thank you for your hospitality and welcoming atmosphere. We look forward to coming back for more!“
