50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Jackson Heights

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

“Very good, I had the Chicken Shawarma Pita Sandwich and it was made fresh. The other menu items are a bit pricier but the food is fresh and made to order. They have upstairs seating with service as well but I mostly order to-go. They are halal as well.“

“The best Albanian food in NY😋👌“

“Enjoyed a Fabulous dinner and Found the food Delicious and Authentic 💯 The staff was warm and attentive, also the atmosphere and Cleanliness were top notch. Well done, We'll be back⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

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

“Delicious! Friendly service.“

“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.“

“Amazing food, amazing atmosphere and AMAZING HOSPITALITY! When in NY you must try!“

“The food is a absolutely outstanding!“

“We are used to eat Turkish food and I can say this place has very good chef. The waiters are very kind and knowledgeable, and the ambience is also elegant and classy. It looks like an expensive place but it isn’t. I’ll be back. We shared several small plates and the desserts, therefore it was even cheaper.“

“My 2 friends and i came on a Friday night at 915pm and were able to get an outdoor table fairly quickly. They sat my friend who was there by herself before we got there which was nice. We ordered the labne, sweet potato, hummus, short rib with hummus and the half chicken. And that was enough to split between the three of us. We got a second order of pita. And we each got a drink. The total came out to about 50 bucks per person. Definitely a little expensive but very delicious. Our server was amazing.“

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

“The staff was very helpful and the dishes were amazing“

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

“10/10 Food and Ambience 😍“

“I tried their salta, which is a sort of vegetable stew. It was excellent, served the right way in the traditional bowl with the right kind of bread. It isn't meant to be a fine dining experience, more like the ones you find all over Yemen. I'll go back and try some of their other yemeni dishes...and you should, too!“

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

“this place is cute!!! took my friend there for her bday. we loved the spanish mackerel and the ricotta! tip: if you get the ricotta there is no
need for the sourdough, the ricotta comes with a few slabs of focaccia

server was also very sweet. good spot!“

“Mira was an amazing experience from start to finish! The atmosphere was beautiful, and the music selection was on point—it set the perfect vibe all night. The drinks were strong, flavorful, and definitely worth ordering. The service was fast and attentive, and our food came out quickly without sacrificing quality. Everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and delicious. If you’re looking for great food, good music, strong cocktails, and excellent service, I highly recommend Mira Mediterranean & Hookah Lounge. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Overall a great time. I started at the bar and the bartender Kate was beyond rude. Too bad she made good drinks. Once my guests arrived, I moved to a table. Our server Gabriela was a gentle gem and directed us toward the best items on the menu. I will NOT return to a bar seat due to the stiff bartender. Table service is attentive and takes care of you.“

“5 stars always !!!!!“

“we had amazing time, the food was so yummy.“

“I absolutely love this place! Everything is so nice, the prices are really good, and the food is always fresh and consistent. My favorite dish is definitely the meat burek—it’s always fresh and delicious. Their desserts are also great, especially the tres leches!

The staff is super, super nice. They’re always friendly, smiling, and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. They also stay open pretty late, which is a huge plus.

Overall, they really deliver on what they promise every time. Great food, great prices, great service, and a really welcoming atmosphere. Definitely one of my favorite Bosnian spots in the city.“

“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!“

“The pita chips were really good easily the best bit would go back just for those. The rice bowl was just ok though. I got half grilled chicken half falafel and the spicy jalapeno sauce with a bunch of veggies. Everything was just a bit bland no spice what so ever“

“Excellent food and awesome service. Great place to spend an evening outside. And the people watching...“

“Ended up watching the Knicks games here with friends. Everyone’s friendly. It was a warm environment and most importantly the food was nice. Chorizo croquettes are great. The mussels even better. Anytime I’m in the city I’ll stop by.“

“Best Turkish place in the city!“

“Every dish exudes the flavor of sunshine and sea breeze, and the soul of the Mediterranean is perfectly presented!😄😄“

“After a cold and windy morning, not being able to get into one of the morning shows, we ran across this little restaurant by accident for brunch. They quickly welcomed us in with open arms and fresh hot coffee. It was one of the best brunches I've ever had, but what made it even more special was Joey the owner overheard our story, knowing we had a rough morning, and gifting us one of his comfort food cookbooks! The day couldn't have been any better. I can't wait to try one of his delicious Italian recipes this holiday season. I highly recommend the Little Owl. I certainly will be going back in the future!“

“Ali is the greatest server! The food was incredible. The drinks were on point! Will definitely be back.“

“We went for dinner on a weekday. The place was too noisy, you could not hear the person sitting opposite you, it was probably bad for my ears honestly. Please don't bring a date here lol.

The food was good, but felt kinda overpriced. If you like Scarpetta you'll like this.“

“Great healthy food 🥘 nice location“

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

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

“Incredible opportunity to listen to fantastic music!“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the food at 46. Highlights: lentil soup, tzatziki, hummus, and pita. Kebabs too. Seriously everything was amazing!“

“Had such a great experience,
The waitress was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely helpful, which made us feel so welcomed. The food was outstanding everything tasted fresh, high quality, and absolutely delicious. You can really tell they care about both the service and the food. Definitely a great spot will come back.“
