50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Kew Gardens

“It was very fresh and tasty..I told the cook I'd be back..got to catch my bus for work right there !“

“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.“

“Came here for brunch a couple weeks ago and loved everything about it. The food was delicious, portion sizes large and quick service. I will for sure be back to try the entire dip offering but truly you’re not going to go wrong with whatever you order here.“

“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! 🥰🍾🥙“

“Cozy atmosphere and fine dining“

“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.“

“Good food, great service“

“I’m glad I got to try this restaurant. Located right next to the S train, Hart’s is a seafood, olive oil, simple menu focused eatery.

I appreciated the quality of the olive oil and the bread. The lamb burger was pretty damn good too. The tomato salad was one of the best I’ve had. A bit too pricey for the food and quantity, but hey, I’d come back again.“

“This is a great find. Their lunch special is a real value with excellent food and service. Restaurant decor is very pleasant and not noisy you can enjoy your food and talk to your friends in a very relaxed and fun atmosphere. I just chose it randomly and very glad we did.“

“Hands down the best Persian restaurant in NYC. Forget Sofreh, you want real Persian food? Come to noosh. It’s a mom and pop shop with an amazing outdoor space, specialty cocktails and best part? Normal prices. Their Fasanjoon is out of this world. Literally the best I’ve had. Their sabzi is incredible, the Shiraz salad is as good as it gets with the freshest veggies and the koobideh kebab is amazing. What are you doing with your life if you haven’t been here?“

“Family owned and delicious Mediterranean food. Friendly service.“

“Came here for $40 bottomless brunch on a Sunday morning at around 11:30. It was a divine experience all around. Incredible food, great atmosphere, quick and attentive service. I ordered the Mediterranean breakfast and my friend got the Mediterranean breakfast pizza both of which were delicious and we would order again. The bottomless brunch comes with 1 entree included and unlimited choice of mimosas, beer, sangria, and Bellini and I think it’s a good bang for your buck. We each got four mimosas in the 90 minutes the brunch lasts. We can’t wait to go again.“

“The Most Authentic Egyptian Food in NYC
If you’re looking for REAL Egyptian flavor, you have to try Falafel Bites in Brooklyn! I just went, and honestly… this is the closest taste to home I’ve had in the U.S. Every single dish was fresh, flavorful, and made with true Egyptian soul.

The falafel was perfectly crispy, the koshary tasted exactly like downtown Cairo, and the tahini sauce was on another level. The staff were so warm and welcoming, specially cherry it felt like visiting family.

I’m telling you — this is the best Egyptian restaurant in New York, hands down. If you want authentic Egyptian food that brings you back to the streets of Cairo and Alexandria, this is the place. Highly recommended! 🌟🇪🇬“

“This place is small but mighty! The food is absolutely amazing. I drove 35 minutes to get here, and let me tell you—it did not disappoint. Every bite hit all the right taste buds and more. The owner is so friendly and welcoming, and everything is fresh, balanced, and healthy. If eating like this is what it takes to lose weight, I’m definitely going to hit my goals!“

“We had a fiftieth birthday party here for two twin brothers. The patio out back is beautiful. The food was great and the waitstaff is wonderful. This is practically its own institution in Floral Park.“

“Comfortable. Clean. Friendly staff. Good service.“

“This is such a cozy place where you can really enjoy a good conversation — and the food is absolutely spectacular. Every dish is bursting with flavor, fresh, and beautifully prepared. The service is warm, friendly, and truly makes you feel at home.
Definitely a spot I’ll come back to again and again. Highly recommended!“

“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!!“

“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”.“

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

“Delicious 😋 food. Great ambiance. Wonderful servers.“

“Incredible food and cocktails! Wonderful service!“

“Miriam is a fantastic new addition to the Upper East Side! I’ve eaten here twice now—once for brunch and once for dinner—and both experiences were excellent. For brunch, we came with a group of five. For dinner, we shared the falafel, chicken cutlet, and hummus—all were delightful and generously portioned (we even took home half the chicken!). Both times we sat in the back room, which was cozy and inviting. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was warm, friendly, and attentive. Miriam is just a quick walk from us, and I can already tell it will be one of our go-to spots.

*Delicious food
*Great service
*Cozy and welcoming atmosphere
*Wonderful addition to the neighborhood

Highly recommend—can’t wait to go back again and again!“

“Great seafood nice people“

“This was my first time at this location in greenpoint. I've been a fan of the WB location for years and years. The only thing I was sad about was the breakfast pizza was not on the brunch menu. Other than that everything as always was perfect. Great job!!“

“Came in for a quick bite and ended up falling in love with this place! They had generous portions and great quality food. The owner also offered me a complimentary water bottle when I was too spiced up from the jalapeño sauce! So sweet and kind :) Will tell my friends to come here as well.“

“Awesome untapped Happy Hour! $1 oyster, great tapa style ! Great wine !“

“Noble has a charming and welcoming ambiance that's perfect for a relaxing meal with friends. The food was fantastic, and the cozy decor really enhanced our experience. We especially enjoyed the live music, which created a fantastic atmosphere throughout the evening. It's definitely a place worth visiting for a great night out!“

“Mya and Brian were amazing! The service was fast, and they were so welcoming and adorable. Many thanks to them, and the food was fantastic too. We’ll definitely be coming back, especially because of Mya. However, I felt that Akira’s tone with Brian came across as commanding. I found it a bit rude and not very respectful, as I would be upset if someone spoke to me that way“

“My dining experience at "Baku Nights" restaurant was truly exceptional. From the moment we entered, the welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff made us feel right at home. The menu offered a delightful array of dishes, each expertly crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Every bite was a culinary delight, and I can’t wait to return to "Baku Nights" restaurant explore more of their delicious creations. Highly recommended!“

“This restaurant is best when it comes to food, ambiance and service. Food presentation is also so cool. The location is awesome in midtown Manhattan. Perfect place for Dinner and Lunch. Prices are also economical given the location and food.“

“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.

“Since I planned to be in the area for a few hours, I looked online for a decent place to have lunch nearby. I wanted healthy & tasty food and found that based on positive reviews, I decided to give Claire's Kitchen a try.

Well let me tell you, the atmosphere was cute & had a chill & boho vibe. It's small with limited seating. The time of day was around lunchtime so the majority of customers had their orders to go. A couple of them ordered their favorites which was a sign that Claire's Kitchen has repeat customers.

I had the beef empanadas with a side salad and a chocolate chip scone for dessert. The empanadas were not deep fried so their crust was nice & soft; something that I wasn't used to in an empanada. The beef filling was seasoned nicely- the spices gave it a nice kick to it.

The green salad was very fresh and organic. It included mixed greens, cherry tomatoes and red onion .

Last but not least I must say the chocolate chip scone was divine! It did not need butter. I ate it as if it was like a big ole chocolate chip cookie-the whole thing in one sitting! In the past I found the texture scones to be dry and boring. Not this one! It was really good and fun to eat. I would definitely buy this again. This was a great substitute for the gluten-free chocolate cake that she ran out of :/

So when you are in the mood for tasty and healthy food and you happen to be in the neighborhood ,stop by Claire's Kitchen and treat yourself to a meal made with love.“

“Excellent food and service Good environment.“

“One of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. First, the ambiance was amazing, perfect for a date night or cozy dinner. The service was so amazing, Personable and efficient. The food was to DIE FOR! will definitely be coming back, an amazing experience, overall would 1000% recommend.“

“The food is awesome and fresh.“

“I tried a little of everything: their s’more cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies, and plain cheesecake, and it was all absolutely delicious! The buttercream on the cupcakes is sweet but not overpowering, the cookies are perfectly soft and chewy, and the cheesecake is sweetened to perfection. Such a great place to purchase from when you’re craving something to satisfy your sweet tooth!“

“I ordered a beef shawarma sandwich — the taste was really good, but I wish it had more meat. The flavor was there, but it felt a bit too light overall.

They also gave me a sample of lentil soup, and honestly, it was amazing! Full of flavor and really comforting. I didn’t expect much, but it surprised me in the best way.“

“Please come. It’s family owned I believe. Very nice people. Very homey and to the point joint. We asked about the different beverages and they explained it so well. Got Mixed meat for 2. The long sausage was by far my favorite. Chicken was tender and juicy. The kidneys were so good. And finally the Sweetbreads( Beef pancreas) something I’ve never had before. I had to call them to get the name. My first time having that and Bosnian food. Both such a great experience. Every was fresh, everything was hot, even the pita bread, it was clearly made in house and was so fresh. I’m not sure who’s the chef here but they get down! The Cockta which was recommended was so good I had to buy another. I will be back!“

“Great little Mediterranean spot in Brooklyn. You might want to make a reservation if you want a table because it was extremely busy even during the week. I ended up sitting at the bar but I didn't mind because I got great service. They even have Turkish coffee. So awesome. Everything I ate was amazing and they have vegan options. The wines by the glass are excellent. Highly recommended!!“

“I had the most amazing experience this restaurant! The food is absolutely delicious—my favorite dish is the hummus with meat, it’s perfectly seasoned and so flavorful. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service made it even better. Our server, Bruna, was the sweetest—attentive, kind, and made sure everything was perfect for us. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this spot to all my friends!“

“I love their pita sandwiches. The flavors stand out compared to other kebab places around here. I like to take my friends here even if there are places closer than here for me. Also the staff and owner are very friendly and welcoming. Also, today I noticed how they're making falafel from scratch! Food made with great love right there.“

“They are my go to every time I come to NYC. Absolutely Love the owners, staff and the food. I am so happy I recently purchased a beautiful lamp.“
