Mediterranean Restaurants in Elmira, NY

“Hidden gem in Elmira.

We ordered two chicken kebab platters and were blown away. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. The chicken was incredibly flavorful and tender, the hummus and salads were fresh (the beet quinoa salad was so good I think I like beets now), and the homemade baklava was outstanding.

The restaurant itself is a small family-run Turkish/Mediterranean spot that could easily be overlooked from the outside, but the food is exceptional. You can tell the owners take pride in what they make, and even the takeout order was packaged with care.

They’re also part of the Chemung County Ice Cream Trail, so we’ll be back to try one of the Dubai sundaes next time.

If you’re looking for something different from the usual chain restaurants, this place is absolutely worth a visit.“
