50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Jackson Heights

“Best Halal desi and authentic food in Queens. This place is real thing. A must👌👍“

“Food was delicious! Fresh and unique! Loved it all!“

“Here's the review Spencer wrote for you: My family and I just visited to celebrate my grandsons birthday- we like to get a bunch of plates and share family style and this menu was perfect for that. You have to get mezze and extra bread (must try the kubane). We also ended up getting three orders of the shishbarak for the six of us, it is way too good! I got the salmon for my entree which was cooked to perfection and beautifully seasoned. Spencer our server recommended the silan and the cheesecake for dessert so we shared those and boy were they something special- I can’t pick a favorite! He brought us a candle and we got some great pictures. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

“The best Albanian food in NY😋👌“

“A+ across the board. Unbelievable service. Sitting at the chef’s table was a little smoky but a blast. Was nearly impossible to get a reservation and I hate to say it but it’s worth the hype! Hope we’re able to land another reservation again soon because I’m going to be thinking about this meal for a long time.“

“We came here on a Sunday early afternoon and had one of our best recent dining experience. We live close by so we went in hoping it would be a gem and it absolutely didnt dissappoint. The garlic naan might just be the best we’ve ever had. The mussels were very fresh and not sure if it’s the season but the flesh was super fat. The sauce it was cooked in was also very very good. Dipping the naan in that sauce was straight heaven. We also ordered the rotisserie chicken, which we thought was a bit pricey at first but man, it was cooked to absolute perfection. Crispy skin, JUICY all throughout, with grilled lemons and a decent sauce. The service was also phenomenal. Our server had great energy, and provided us the perfect balance of attentiveness and space.
The vibe of this place is also top notch. The modest exterior is only hiding the spaceous, modern, and elegant interior.
Overall, we could not be more thrilled about this find and will definitely be coming back to try their drinks and sea bass dish! Highly recommended for an absolute treat.“

“As soon as my sister and i walked in, we sat down, and i took a look around and saw how beautiful the interior was. The waiter came and took our order and maybe 20-30 after the food arrived. I ordered the truffle polenta while my sister ordered a burger. The food was really good. After we got dessert. We both got the tiramisu. It was great. The total was about $100 dollars, including the tip. The restaurant is full during dinner, so i would recommend reserving a table.“

“Amazing food and warm, friendly staff.“

“Casual, friendly atmosphere,eclectic menu, looking forward to my next visit“

“Delicious food and cocktails“

“This is gem of a restaurant in west harlem. Chicken with hummus is exceptional comes with huge tasty bread rating 4/5…,.,Lamb with rice is just okay 3/5..,,Potato veggies also 3/5

Adani chai 4/5.,,, black tea with cardamom and mint is good too.

Yemini rice is just okay, I believe Indian biryani is far superior!

Service is good here. For the high prices they charge surprise to see plastic plates and plastic utensils 😊

Fasha(spelling) is also one item our waiter recommended. Stew with meat, comes with huge bread.“

“Really enjoyed the shashuka and challah bread. The shakshuka had fantastic flavor and was one of the best I've ever had.
I liked the falafel which comes on a bed of tahini. The falafel were not dry and had good flavor. The tzatziki was a bit salty.
They have full bar and limited beer on draft. Prices were fair for location and quality.
Prices were mezze items ($9 each), shakshuka ($21) and a beer ($9), this is fair pricing. Chill environment overall.
Service was good. They have indoor or outdoor seating. The design inside is very interesting. Bathroom was clean.
I would recommend and will be back.“

“Was strolling in the area when I noticed this joint bumping.

Loved the cocktail.
Lamb hummus, warm and scrumptious with prob the one of the best pita bread I’ve ever had.
Octopus skewers were cooked to perfection. Tender and flavourful
Snapper ceviche with a spicy twist.

I’m spoilt tonight.“

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

“Cozy atmosphere and fine dining“

“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! 🥰🍾🥙“

“We had the pleasure of dining in your restaurant last week, We instantly loved the mediterranean style atmosphere of your place. We had the best server we could have asked for named, Martina, she was friendly and had a great sense of humor, Her menu knowledge was excellent, She recommended the Duck and Short Ribs, which were excellent. Full of flavor. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience with great food and nice, friendly staff. Lloyd Hartford“

“Hands down the best Turkish food in NYC. The owner-operator, Mike, is always on-site, adding a personal touch that makes the experience feel both welcoming and elevated. The food is clean, healthy, and notably free of seed oils — a rare and refreshing standard. The chicken chops are excellent, the chicken shish is top-tier, and the mezze selection is absolutely fantastic. Every dish reflects real care and quality.“

“The food is a absolutely outstanding!“

“⸻ “This restaurant is amazing! The food is fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. The service was excellent, and the staff were very friendly. I really enjoyed my time here.”“

“Stopped in pre- dinner last night for small plates and drinks. The food/ drinks and service was impeccable. Very friendly and welcoming employees and also a great ( open) space on Lexington with high- top or regular tables. We will definitely be back. They also have a happy hour menu!! Super comfortable spot!“

“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 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.“

“Everything on the menu is to die for 🫀 delicious & feel good food always always. + THE CEVICHE“

“Best Turkish place in the city!“

“Love this place so much. Love their Mexican food a lot the tacos, quesadillas, and burritos just name it. Everything here is a straight ten outta ten so far even though I haven’t tried the Mediterranean food yet such as shawarmas and what not. But once again their Mexican food is so good especially if you want 100% halal definitely come here at “Fatimas Grill”.“

“Delicious and friendly. Been coming here for years and bringing friends who visit from out of town.“

Also great for people with Autism. Dim lights, low background music and amazing atmosphere.

Also best customer service.“

“Incredible opportunity to listen to fantastic music!“

“a perfect place to eat it's very good the meat more than juicy the potatoes a delight the service more than kind very smiling helpful clean they even offered me a traditional pastry the prices I was a little shocked at first there were 4 and we took 2 dishes and supplements I can tell you that I am a very big eater and yet it was enough for me to finish the day me and my family and to finish the service was very fast even though there were a lot of people prefer it's a 10/10“

“The food is good and service is excellent. We had the price fixe“

“Best Turkish and Mediterranean restaurant in nyc. You have to try it.“

“Went here for brunch for NYC Restaurant week and did not disappoint!! Great service, delicious food and yummy drinks!! Will definitely come back!! Such a cozy cute atmosphere too!!“

“Sooo delicious!!! Wonderful staff. Great owners!!“

“It's a nice place, good and friendly service, caring for their customers.
While setting is somewhat simplistic, it is done in style and reminds of Mediterranean. But don't let simplicity fool you - food is better than your average tavern, by far.
It was a very nice experience, interesting salads, very good fish, cozy dessert.“

“If you’ve been to Cava as much as I have you’ve gotten to meet their motley crew of hard working all star staff. Today I’d like to shout out Jasmine (I hope that’s how she spells it) and Diamond. With one at the front of the line and the other at the end one can forgive the people in the middle for being lacklustre. Thanks Diamond and Jasmine.“

“Previous customers have already outlined why this spot stands out. The pricing respects wallets and dishes are recently prepared. The staff was present when needed. This spot deserves its recognition. This place will get my repeated visits.“

“I have been to malka for dinner multiple times. Each time it has been a supernatural experience: the staff is kind, the food is delicious, and the ambiance kindles a torch in my heart.

The selection of dishes is excellent. It covers a wide variety of international options with an excellent twist. The schnitzel is to die for, the best in the US. The hummus is bold and creamy, it will transport you to the desert in the Middle East. The drink selection is superb.

One of the best restaurants in the US and a hidden gem in NYC.“

“Amazing service. Actually there was a girl today there directing everyone who was working and she was a rock star. Food was spectacular!!!! 5 stars for me!!!“

“Had a lovely meal to celebrate my 50th birthday, the food was so good and the service was fantastic, I would highly recommend“

“The BEST place - I always order the 4 options of amazing tapas dips/ spreads with pita. Perfect when having people over, and always a hit at a potluck party. (And surprisingly affordable!!!) The atmosphere is romantic/ fun and yet still easy and casual.“

“Very impressed. It’s not often that you go to a downtown restaurant these days and have good service along with good food and a good atmosphere. Everything was seriously delicious. We were bummed out that they didn’t have any Bronzino, considering our table doesn’t eat any meat or shellfish. We got the Dover soul as a replacement for the Bronzino, we all really normally like Dover soul, but this was not prepared well.
The chef was super accommodating and replaced the item for another salad. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great. They were super accommodating with large parties and I think overall this spot will be a staple.“

“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!“

“Me and my family decide to have a late lunch here after seeing the advertisement and reviews on instagram. We loved the food! The atmosphere and service was amazing. Finally, we have a Mediterranean place close to home. You have to come try this place and by the way they have an outdoor in the back where you can have hookah for those who are interested.“
