34 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Long Beach

“I stopped by Canz for just one drink and ended up having the best time! Angela, the bartender, was absolutely beautiful, charming, and so funny—truly the best bartender.
I’m so glad I didn’t drive because the drinks were that delicious… I couldn’t stop at one! I haven’t had that much fun in a long time.
If that young lady is bartending, I will definitely be back!“

“Greek Cove Merrick’s lunch special is incredible. Ate the warm pita in the car on the way home! Grilled chicken with a salad and rice. One huge chicken cutlet over a generous portion of delicious rice and a tasty Greek salad- with a grape leaf and feta! I am a very picky eater but this chix was seasoned beautifully, so that if garlic, onion or rosemary(my triple threat) was used, it all blended together perfectly so that even I could not pick out the offensive spice. Amazingly, the yogurt sauce is also tasty( I hate yogurt sauce;usually throw it away). Forgot to tell them not to give it to me, so as not to waste it, but I’m glad I forgot! All of this, and a lot of smiling happy employees, for $12.99 cash. Wowza.“

“Hands down one of the best Gyros I have had. For sure the best in Nassau! I have tried a lot of different places, throughout the county, Abe’s definitely is the best, they stuff it with meat, just the right amount of toppings and sauce. Give it 10/10 for me highly recommend!“

“Blue Waters Mediterranean Cuisine is truly a hidden gem — and not for long. With their stunning renovation and expanded menu, it’s clear they’re on the path to major success. What truly sets this place apart is the consistency: exceptional food, outstanding service, creative and delicious cocktails, and an atmosphere full of personality and warmth. Every visit feels special, making you want to come back again and again. From the first bite to the last sip, everything is done with care and passion. I honestly can’t recommend this place enough — an unforgettable dining experience you don’t want to miss.“

“The food at Abu Zayn was delicious! Everything was fresh, tasty, and full of flavor. The portions were generous and the prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Great authentic Egyptian food and definitely a place I’d recommend. I’ll be coming back!“

“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.“

“Excellent Dinning Experience ⭐️ Amazing Fire Show 🔥 Awesome Steak 🥩 Definitely coming Back 🔜 Best of Luck !! ❤️“

“I’ve been to Turkey many times… I have eaten Lahmacunu there many times… eating yours brought me back to Turkey!!!! ÇOK LEZZETLİ ❗️“

“I have been going to this place after school with my friends for quite a time now, at first I tried not to eat out because my mom is used to make us food at home. But after a couple of weeks coming in hungry after school ended, I would buy from Taza. The food is insanely amazing, especially the loaded fries, they have a variety of mexican and other culture foods that you can try out. It gets you hooked instantly, once you try it, you keep coming over again. Portions are 100% worth the money and the staff is incredible, very polite and engaging!

I'd eat from this place everyday!

100% recommended.“

“Love this place!! The employees are always so friendly and helpful! The food is EXCELLENT as always, and I'm obsessed with the Buffin muffins ($~6) and overnight oats ($~9), although the latter are a bit too pricey. My favs are the Welcome to the Sno buffin (which tastes like those viral pink squishy chocolate snowball pastries and are good even when frozen, also has a cream filling) and the Fitella overnight oats (very filling). Cash register has some excellent protein bar recommendations next to it, I always grab one. The meals are always good no matter what I get, and they are priced around $11-12. My favorite is the Soho Steakbowl, which comes with marinated steak strips and sweet potato fries, and is $12. I miss the Egg White Muffins, they need to bring them back!!! Same with the Tres Leches buffin!! Whenever I come here I grab 10 meals for a discount, and they last me a work week.“

“We visited this week on a whim and Meli Modern did not disappoint. My husband loved the lamb chops and I had the octopus which came sliced and was delicious. The lamb and feta ravioli were different in all the best ways. There is also a white cosmo on the drink menu that I highly recommend. We will definitely return.“

“I had the chicken and lamb platter, and my friends had the chicken sandwich, Mac & cheese, and gyro wrap. We all left very happy. The platter was delicious, and everything was super fresh. Inside was also very clean, and the people friendly. I look forward to coming back!! Also, very fair pricing in today’s economy 🙂“

“Food and service were excellent.“

“the best“

“This is an amazing Family Owned Deli. The food here is beyond compare and prepared fresh. Ask for the Off Menu Items! They are hidden Gems!“

“The food is good, the service is good, and I've always enjoyed eating here. However, I note that many, if not most, of the food items are no longer available which leads me to suspect the place is slowly closing down, probably due to lack of customers.“

“A friend of mine and I had a lovely experience at Laffa Bar and Grill. The outside tent was spacious, the food is plentiful and delicious! I also like the changes they made indoors. It has a very nice ambiance. The Owners are warm and welcoming as well as each of the staff. Service with a smile..how refreshing! The Owners told us they deliver to our town in West Hempstead and cater! Looking forward to going back soon! Keep up the good work everyone!“

“Best Restaurant in the area. Seriously.“

“Really nice spot to satisfy a seafood craving! Everything felt very clean and tasted good. I’m personally not a big fan of “chaotic” dishes, so I really enjoyed how simple yet delicious everything was. I usually take pictures, but I forgot to take picture of any of the dishes i ate here because it was gone so quick.

Definitely recommend the scallops and octopus for appetizers and loved the orata and lobster roll for mains. My partner said he really enjoyed the burger as well!

Customer service was also excellent, from the time we came into the time we left everyone was extremely considerate and friendly.

I even forgot one of my takeout bags and the nice hostess/waitress ran out to give it to me! Lovely place and I’ll definitely be back.“

“EXCELLENT! Gluten Free Pitas - delicious! Great selection, huge portions, fast delivery. Our new go to for Greek food!“

“Outstanding Shawarmas!!!!“

“The Angry Bird Burger completely lives up to its name—in the best way possible. From the first bite, you get hit with a perfect balance of heat, flavor, and juiciness. The chicken is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. The sauce brings just the right level of spice without overpowering everything else, and the toppings add a fresh, satisfying crunch.

The bun holds everything together without getting soggy, which is underrated but crucial. Every component feels intentional, and you can tell there’s real attention to quality. If you’re into bold, spicy flavors with a serious kick, this burger is a must-try. Easily one of the best spicy chicken sandwiches I’ve had.

Would 100% order again.“

“Food is always fresh at any time of the day“

“Had the pleasure of dining at Aura in Island Park. What a wonderful experience. Great vibe , great music and most importantly the food was OUTSTANDING. our server Natalia was super attentive as was all the staff from the moment we entered. Get this gem on your calendar. All was delicious Five stars from this patron“

“Checked out Halal Muchies after so many people told me about it and they did not disappoint!!! Cooked perfectly, super tasty and great portions! I hope this place is around for a very long time!“

“Food was excellent! They need more waiters and waitresses but overall I love their food!“

“Good food and service. Great gyros.“

“Ever since I found this place, its the ONLY place around work I’ll go to for lunch. I once had something pop up immediately after picking up my greek salad there, and only had a chance to eat 7 hours later, after it had turned into a soggy mess. You know what: IT STILL BANGED! Deeply loyal, 10/10, two thumbs up, enthusiastically recommend“

“My husband, and I, ordered food, for delivery.
We purchased the small garden salad, with its generous portions of feta cheese, Romaine/ iceberg lettuce, and sliced tomatoes. We chose the protein add-ons, of fresh, grilled salmon, and, falafel.
All, were very satisfying.
We also had rice pilaf, as well as hummus, and tzatziki dips.
We liked the rice, and dips, which complemented the warm, wheat pitas.

We will continue to patronize this establishment, for its appetizing food.“

“me and my husband came here for the first time for lunch and it was beautiful atmosphere and the food was amazing we will be back highly recommend for delicious greek food jill & rob ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I went to check out the new location in Levittown after they closed their spot in Mineola. The new place looks great—clean, spacious, and welcoming.

I ordered my food to go, and it was ready by the time I got there. Everything was hot, freshly made, and delicious. I got the chicken souvlaki with grilled veggies, and it came with a small Greek salad. The portions are generous, and you definitely get your money’s worth.

The lamb gyro was also really good—tender, well-seasoned, and stuffed with meat. They definitely don’t skimp. The staff was super friendly, service was quick, and pickup was easy. Definitely worth the trip.“

“I love this place 😊 Friendly“

“Tucked away in the corner of the lot and not that visible from the road but man they make some delicious halal food. We got platters, chicken nuggets and salad and it was all so damn delicious.

Their prices are very fair given the high quality if their food it's like restaurant grade in my opinion. They have a vast menu and something for everyone. Convenient parking lot right outside. Come and try them out you'll be glad you did.“
