Mediterranean Restaurants near Jamaica

“Each time we visit the JetBlue terminal, we stop here for coffee and snacks because I'm not a fan of the nearby competition and their long lines with coffee that gives me a stomach ache. We have been here many time and have always received quick and courteous service and a coffee that was pretty good. It's mostly a grab-n-go so you're not likely standing around for the ambience.“

“The service was excellent, and the food was spectacular. If you're looking for truly authentic, Greek food, service, and excellent decor, this a must. Everyone was super nice and attentive. The dining area was very accommodating and conformable for our large party of 13 people. If you're looking for a date night, family night, birthday dinner, graduation party, or just want to eat delicious Greek food. Come here!Kid-friendliness: kid friendly, absolutely!Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, this is wheelchair accessible.“

“Excellent food, a bit on the pricy side compared to other Greek places around but great food. The moussaka was great, served in a small dish, definitely worth sharing. We ordered daily speciality and were not disappointed. Our sever was lovely, she had a very authentically welcoming vibe, could be the Greek hospitality; but I loved how genuine she presented herself, the staff was lovely as well.“

“Ordered on ubereats food came hot well packaged , ordered lamb gyro, chicken gyro and wedges, lamb gyro was not tasty, it was abundant with lamb chucks adequate amount of white sauce ( which also was not tasty), pita ( was soft and fresh), onions and cucumbers helped a bit, chicken gyro was way more flavorful would by that again and the wedges were good“

“Came here on a Saturday night with reservations. Very lively. Waiters were attentive. The shrimp saganaki was flavorful. The octopus was exceptional. The lamb chop was delicious. Wasn’t a big fan of the baked clams. They were too oily and not fresh. I don’t think the waiter seemed to care when my friend told him. However, we had a good time as the drinks were good.“

“Amazing delicious food and it’s my favorite place“

“Love this place! It does not have the glossy aspect of other taverns in Astoria, but they can always get seats for you and the food is always fresh and delicious. The staff is super friendly and make you feel welcome. Small talks conversations with the owner or the staff is always pleasant and not at the expense of a great service. This place is a hidden gem and always a great choice during holidays when all the other big taverns make you wait for hours for a seating. Their lamb bbq on Easter or St Georgy's Day is the best!“

“The most amazing sushi ever ,excellent service, and beautiful atmosphere . Must try, make sure you make a reservation ,they are usually full and may not have extra Tabel. Also order the cheese cake you will love it.“

“We had a wonderful time at Nisi! Highly recommend it. Even in an area with lots of great Greek food, the food was outstanding and everything was super fresh. Great cocktails, solid wine selection, and top notch service. Will definitely be back!“

“Their falafel mahshea might be my new favorite falafel in Queens. Stuffed with feta cheese and green olives. Served fresh and hot, perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They have another version stuffed with eggplant and harissa that I’ll have to go back and try. Really enjoyed the chicken shawarma bowl too. The toppings and sauces made this a great dish — artichokes, garlic eggplant, feta cheese, garlic sauce and harissa. They also have excellent lemonades. I had the peach ginger and my husband had the Moroccan mint. They have a lovely covered backyard to eat in. Great choice for lunch or dinner near the beach.“

“I had a delightful experience at Zaitun Halal on Parsons Blvd in Jamaica, Queens. The Chicken over rice was absolutely scrumptious—perfectly cooked with just the right blend of spices. The flavors were bold and the rice was fluffy and aromatic. Additionally, the meal came in very nice packaging which kept the food warm and was quite convenient. The service was friendly and the atmosphere inviting. A must-visit spot for anyone looking for top-notch Halal cuisine!“

“The food was amazing and so was the hospitality. Very pretty space inside with Turkish decor and nice outdoor seating. I highly recommend it!“

“Cocktails are incredible. Service is unmatched. Space is gorgeous. And yes, their employees are paid fairly. I own a cocktail bar in the neighborhood and know that someone has targeted them (along with their friends) with a series of unfair reviews. Ironically, they seem to not realize how this affects a business and in turn how much money is made by those who work at said business. I do not believe that recent bad reviews have been made in good faith. Anyone who’s been here knows it’s fantastic :)“

“If you like to get the most delicious Indian and Bengali dishes (Kebabs , grills, biryani’s, vegetables and many more) in NYC you should check this restaurant out. Their foods test perfect and made of fresh ingredients. I just love to eat here. Also it’s all Halal food here.??“

“Tasty fresh food and a great menu for a deli. There's something for everyone here. We've never been disappointed in anything we've ordered. The staff is friendly, the store is clean the food is delicious and fresh. No one makes a better sandwich, the salads are fresh and tasty and the wraps are amazing and the breakfasts are very tasty“

“The food doesn’t have much of taste, over-prices and smaller in portions but the service is very good. Friendly servers. Indoor seating g is limited to two tables despite enough space. Well decorative witb quotes and stuff (irrelevant to a food post) Plus point is it’s HALAL.“

“The food here is amazing! Delicious Latin flavors in dishes that will fill you up! My typical order is the Bandeja Paisa which is a full meal in itself! The avocado salad is also a must have- great flavors, super refreshing and always pairs nicely with other dishes. The liki martini is my favorite drink! The service is so friendly, they will all make you feel like you’ve been invited into their home. Juan is truly a magnificent host and it’s truly a must visit whenever I am in the area! I would highly recommend this for a date or even a casual night out! The environment can be treated as either!“

“Overall, dining at this mom and pops vibe Turkish restaurant/grocery was a delightful experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend it to anyone in search of authentic Turkish cuisine served with a side of warmth and hospitality. Everyone was friendly. I can't wait to return and try more of their delicious offerings.“

“This is some of. If not. The most authentic and delicious Turkish food I have ever had. This is equivalent to ordering in the streets of Istanbul at the restaurants there. Everything is always very delicious and fresh. The staff is very kind and courteous. They also have outdoor seating behind the building which is perfect for the spring / summer season so you can enjoy some sun. I love their Lamb & Chicken Adana Kebab along with the cheese Gözleme. I recommend everyone try it for their great prices and even greater food!“

“No frills spot with excellent, efficient service and fresh deliciously grilled seafood. It's great value. Highly recommend for seafood lovers and chill people who are not in a rush (there's a wait if you go during peak hours, take it easy here). It's BYOB.“

“Fantastic food. Caring service by staff. Excellent menu recommendations. Do not miss the pulled brisket. Paprika bakes their own delectable bread. Anticipating future visits.“

“Herb & Olive is everything you want in a specialty food establishment. The ambience is serene, the food scrumptious and the staff, courteous and friendly. The Greek foods for takeout are amazingly delicious.“

“We visited a popular Mediterranean restaurant and had a variety of dishes including hummus, beets, and charred octopus. The food was good. My favorite was the seared foie gras, which stood out for its flavor. The service was great and made our dining experience pleasant. Despite being a little sweet for my taste, the shrimp pasta was well-prepared.“

“Delicious food and desserts. Price is reasonable. Friendly service.“

“Go Mondays, its empty. Free parking, and if you dont drive, 2 blocks from the subway. Went with a few friends and had an assortment of things. 1. Greek salads 2. Tamara dip + pita 3. Lemon potatoes 4. Grilled veggies 5. Tzatziki dips 6. Grilled octopus 7. Whitings 8. And a few alcoholic drinks that taste as licorice Family style Greek restaurant that specializes in fresh seafood. No menu but the server is very knowledgeable and lets you know. I cant say anything about the price as i did not pay but the person has been coming here for 20 years or more.“

“Welcoming and warm atmosphere. I eat there every chance I get. The lemonade is out of this world. The falafel is to die for . All staff are caring and very respectful. I have seen different people from different cultures . Everyone is welcomed.Mohammed the owner talks to you and makes sure your order is perfect.“

“We had a great time at Crabtree! We went on a weeknight so there was plenty of space. The staff were friendly, the food was great and they even gave us complementary cheesecake as we were celebrating our anniversary. We will definitely be back!“

“The BEST SERVICE AND FOOD!“

“Very authentic Greek restaurant. The atmosphere of this restaurant felt like I was in one of my relatives home. Super friendly and accommodating staff. Food was great, everything was cook to perfection. The Pork souvlaki was amazing, the portion is big enough for two people. Lamb chops were perfect, super tasty. Price is on the pricier end but with the service and taste it is worth it. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“If you want authentic real cevabi outside sarajevo, this is the place to go ,ive tried all the other cevapi places in nyc , however Sarajevo Cevabdzinica Stand far far out from the others no question about it,and whoever claims otherwise is either jealous or having a bad day“

“I went with good friends for my birthday. I really liked the coziness of the restaurant. The food was plentiful and very good. The waitstaff were very attentive.“

“I've lived in NYC for over ten years and this is the best tasting pizza I've found so far. The pizza man there, Ciro makes delicious pizza every time, and, speaking from personal experience, he makes it the way it should be made. Handsome guy too. I recommend you go visit.“

“I just learned that traditional Greek gyros are made with pork and chicken and not lamb. I was also introduced to a mustard mayo sauce that is traditionally used instead of taziki. The gyro was amazing. I'll definitely be going back for more.“

“I live in queens and been to this restaurant on multiple occasions. As a Moroccan, I enjoy eating here, they have many moroccan plates that are delicious such as bastilla, couscous and tajines. I definitely recommend and can't wait to go back again.“

“We arrived without reservations, and we're able to get seated immediately. We were next to the door, but the hostess moved us as soon as a seat was open. Service was awesome. The server was attentive, knew the menu, and made good suggestions. Drinks, appetizers, and food were all served quickly but with enough time between to enjoy. My food was good and I enjoyed it. Others in my group were less enthusiastic about some of their choices. I cannot say if the food was bad, I just know they were not as satisfied as I was. The bill was a tad high for what I think we had, but it was not unreasonably high. The atmosphere was comfortable and appealing. Im not sure if I would go back, but I would suggest others give it a try.“

“This was my first time coming to this place. The service and the food was fantastic, the ambiance was very intimate and friendly and I would definitely come back.A lot of the food can be shared family style which is fantastic to sample each dish. Overall, the price was less than my group of 4 expected and in my humble opinion, you can't get this kind of service and quality at a restaurant in the city. Astoria and Queens in general is where its at!Kid-friendliness: The restaurant had a lot of other families that were going out for dinner as well“

“I had a very nice dinner with my friend and next time, we are bringing more friends to have fun here.“

“Friendly service and great food!“

“Rice and chicken were flavorful. The salad was also very tasty, I liked that it wasn't just lettuce and tomatoes like most places. It had that and red/purple cabbage, cucumbers. Attendant was patient and attentive, and lots of traffic in the store, very well for owners and a testament to the quality of meals served here.“

“Rothchilds never disappoints. We love all the food options, and drinks. The owner and staff couldn’t be more accommodating.“

“Service is a little slow, but outside of Astoria Plaka is a well-managed family restaurant with good food. We ordered chicken noodle soup, spinach pie, and a chicken souvlaki platter with lemon potatoes. You can't go wrong with that. Perhaps we might come back?“

“Ordered from Gryo Village for the first time tonight. Got two gyros, one with beef/lamb and the other chicken. Fries and onion rings. Everything was spot on! The order was delivered like 20 or 25mins after I placed it! Surprised that it was so fast. Definitely will order again the food was great, can't wait to try other ideas.“

“Had a birthday celebration for a party of 8. The reservation, table and service was excellent. Highly recommend it. Be prepared to order the minute your waiter comes by as it gets quite busy and it may take a while to get your entrees.Vegetarian options: Grilled tomatoes are delicious“

“Muy buen sabor y muy buen atendido“

“I got food delivered from here to my hotel when my connection flight got cancelled from LGA and that was the only good thing that happened to us on that frustrating evening. The food was super authentic! The falafels were amazing and the shawarma bowl was the best I’ve had in the U.S. I hope I can come back under better circumstances to try other things :)“

“The food was great, long-standing but worth it“

“Always amazing! This is our go-to for dinner in Astoria - service is always friendly and fun and they always give us something new to try. Today we tried their samosas which were delicious and spicy. The chicken schwarma platter was so tasty with white and hot sauce and the chicken was perfectly spiced. Definitely stop by if you're in Astoria!“

“I know this restaurant for years, live nearby. The food and service is really good, but very overpriced. The prices in the menu on OpenTable are incorrect - they are much higher on their actual restaurant menu. They even charge you with the credit card fees. Because of this I will not visit this restaurant any more. There are a lot of other great Greek restaurants in Astoria which are cheaper with the same quality of food and services :)“

“Went here for the first time tonight. Didn’t know what to expect. I have to say I loved it. The owner does everything. It’s a one man show- so byob and relax . The food was delicious. Had branzini, lamb, beef, beans, cauliflower . Owner so friendly and the prices were reasonable.. We were there 2 and half hours and could have stayed longer but I had to drive home . It’s decorated so cute with art work that the owner did himself. I highly recommend if you like this type of vibe. Got there at 6 was empty. By 6:30 place was full. So go early.“

“First time to ever try pizza shawarma, definitely a great choice! Will be ordering again also I ordered the chicken parm and Philly cheese steak sandwiches for a quick lunch. Both were delicious and very fresh. The chicken was not soggy like most chicken parm sandwiches I've ordered from other places . The service was very fast and friendly. The restaurant was clean and well maintained. I' definitely come back to try other things from the menu. I saw someone having the shawarma platter and it looked delicious.“
