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.“

“Delicious food and cocktails“

“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.“

“I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant!!! Their food tasted SO good and tasted like it was homemade food. It was made with so much love, and the food was so flavorful and seasoned. Every thing I got, hit. I got the curry chicken platter, and I cleaned my plate. The mint lemonade tasted so fresh and refreshing. The baklava was really good, as well. The customer service was excellent and so homey, as well!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Good food, great service“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“A very tiny restaurant with a small but high quality cocktail and wine list. Food was good and felt fresh. Highlights were the butter beans with mussels and salsa verde, the asparagus with poached egg, ricotta and radishes, and olive oil cake with rhubarb.“

“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.“

“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!“

“10/10 AMAZING. DELICIOUS. The service was great, the wait time wasn’t too long, and the food was all the more worth it. The price fits the taste. I’m definetly coming back again. The atmosphere is also great a lot of great decorations and lights. Vibey music, and good amount of spaces to sit and eat in.“

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

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

“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!!“

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

“Incredible food and cocktails! Wonderful service!“

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

“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!“

“The food is awesome and fresh.“

“I found an oasis in the busy city as well place to spend time while my wife is at art class. The atmosphere is very calm and relaxing, extremely clean. With most things in life, it’s the people working there. The staff in the owner are funny, helpful, and just there to give everyone a good time. The food just simply blows me away. It taste so good.“

“Amazing service and amazing food! Highly suggest the spicy lamb as well as the chicken shawarma platters. Pita, hummus, rice, and all of their sauces were the bomb. Our server was extremely friendly and we were even given a free baklava sample.“

“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!“

“Care about quality food...Best of the best...“

“Great place, decent portion size for the price, delicious and scrumptious flavorful food. Highly recommend the lamb and chicken sandwich, you get a great mix of flavors. Relatively filling but not too much, just the right amount. Roughly 1.63 Big Macs in size but obviously much higher quality. Better than a Big Mac 100%. Great service as well, they are very friendly and nice. A small area to sit if it’s not busy, but easy to eat the sandwiches to go as well. Would definitely go again and try something else.“

“Great food - nice & friendly staff - reasonable prices Everything is excellent“

“Excellent food and service Good environment.“

“Great restaurant new to the east side. It’s said to be related to Mariam located on the west side and has a very similar menu.

You want leave disappointed, every dish is both interesting and flavorful drawing from Mediterranean, Israeli and Lebanese/eastern like dishes.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Overall, a solid dining experience. Everything I tried was flavorful, especially the lamb, which was cooked perfectly and full of taste. The rice was also nicely done and complemented the meal well. However, the chicken wings were a bit of a letdown—too small for my liking, so personally, I wasn’t a fan of those. That said, the drinks were on point and definitely added to the experience. If you’re looking for a place with good food and drinks, this spot is worth checking out, though I’d skip the wings next time.“

“I love this place so much! This spot is not your standard Corporatized Mass Food Supply Chain” middle eastern food. (Not going to name names).
It’s good wholesome tasty quality food that always hits the spot. Lots of toppings and variety to choose from.“

“Great seafood nice people“

“The all entire menu is great.“

“The service is excellent; there was a small mixup with our reservation and it was fixed easily and quickly. The food is delicious, especially the savory goat cheese dip, slightly sweet grilled halloumi, and the perfectly cooked octopus. I'll definitely be going back asap.“

“Food is Great staff is friendly“

“One of the best halal place in Brooklyn“

“Not one to usually leave reviews, but this restaurant is an absolute must! We tried the Octopus, Grilled Calamari, Branzino, and Chilean Sea Bass — every dish was cooked to perfection. The food was outstanding, and the service was just as impressive. Truly top-notch. Thank you! Oriana R.“

“The food is great and I liked the atmosphere a lot. I had the shakshuka with ground beef, which was really good and came with a pita-like bread that was amazing (and it took a lot of willpower not to ask for another one). My friend loved the eggplant dish and said it was special (appetizer size). They have several vegetarian options, which was awesome for my vegan friend.
The atmosphere was relaxed and tasteful. Nice light fixtures.

Vegetarian options: Shakshuka (standard or green shakshuka with spinach). Hummus platter) multiple flavors) - vegan, charred eggplant, cawliflower taco (in pita with tahini) - vegan, Falafel - vegan, multiple salad options (we had the chopped salad - really good), there were other vegetarian options but I don’t recall.“

“Good food and cheap Eats. Excellent choices on menu“

“My favourite place Come here every week Thank you for the great food and service!“

“Great food and not expensive“
