50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near New Rochelle

“I attended a surprise party this Saturday evening. The cuisine was preselected, waiter service was excellent, should receive raises. The table arrangement was very poor. The party was downstairs in one of the private rooms. We were 25 people at one very long table, basically the length of the room, which made it difficult for guests to get around the seated persons at the head of the table on either side. Having two tables would have been a better arrangement, but one long table was not conducive for conversation since we were so far from the other end of the table. The food; not many complaints, I really didn’t have a problem. I didn’t have a lot of food, but it was delicious. The dessert, sorry not very good. Those Famous Crepes(palacinkes) sorry not that great. A lot of crepe and not a lot of filling. The dish was served with fruit, unfortunately this fruit was not in season, so the watermelon although it added color to the dish, upon tasting it, left much to be desired. Why not serve fruit that is in season? No offense to my party hosts who selected my menu for the evening, it didn’t lend itself to the 5 Star Reputation of Dubrovnik’s. I would like to make reservations and splurge on a dinner on my own, I have a feeling I would LOVE the experience! Btw, another plus was the parking!“

“I had the pleasure of attending Noma Social this past Sunday for their brunch, and I have to say it was an amazing experience. The comedy show was absolutely hilarious, keeping everyone in good spirits from start to finish. The musicwas equally superb, creating the perfect atmosphere to enjoy the meal and the vibe. I can’t wait to come back for another Sunday brunch! A huge shout-out to the bartenders and staff—they were incredibly attentive and made the experience even better. Their service was top-notch, and it’s clear they take pride in their work. And let me tell you, the DJ was on fire! The tunes were on point, and the energy in the room was infectious. I had such a great time that I came back Monday for Marlena’s lychee martini —which was incredible. It’s now a new favorite of mine! I’ll definitely be returning to Noma Social for more great times. Thank you to everyone at Noma for the fantastic hospitality and hard work. You’ve earned a loyal customer here!“

“What a delicious, pleasant surprise this little restaurant was! When I walked in I honestly didn't expect too much because it was small and completely empty, and could have been a little cleaner. However the food was outstanding, and I am VERY picky. My friend and I split a ginormous Greek salad (the stuffed grape leaves were unbelievable), and we each ordered a gyro. Mine was chicken and so good! We also ordered the side of fries, and for $4 we received a large basket of fresh, hand cut, perfectly cooked fries. I don't live anywhere New Rochelle but I'm hoping to make it back there!“

“New adress: 16 memorial hwy, New Rochelle 10801 New York It continues to serve in its new place after covit 19. a larger and more spacious space. There is also a bar and outdoor seating. The same tastes and friendly services are waiting for its new customers at its new address.“

“Great food!!! plenty of food choices. friendly service.“

“The best Albanian food in NY😋👌“

“Amazing food - it’s extremely fresh! Beautiful vibe and decor! The service is so hospitable and the owner Reza is very kind and knowledgeable about the food and wine. You will truly enjoy a fantastic meal here! 🍷❤️“

“The food is delicious. Very courteous and friendly staff. Definitely recommend!“

“Great seafood nice people“

“This is my favorite Cava to go to by far !! Very fast line and the employees are the best. The food always tastes fresh and the portions are awesome. Ps. The pita chips are a must everytime“

“Great spot for shawarma and more. I tried several things here and it was all tasty. The mint lemonade was a surprise treat. I am not have fan of mint but gave it a shot. Exceeded my expectations. That atmosphere overall was great. Customer service was great. Everyone there seemed very nice. Location was easily accessible to stop in and go. Worth checking out if you are in the area.“

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

“Fantastic food! Great value for money. I haven't had Persian food this good since I lived in Manhattan. WOW!!!“

“Can’t recommend this place enough! As I was eating my food I kept on thinking: my goodness! I can’t believe how good this food is! Lol If you are a garlic fan you must get the whipped garlic. It’s my favorite part of the bowl. But all of the toppings are full of flavor. I always get the chicken and it comes with all the toppings you want. Next time I’ll go for the steak. The service is super friendly and the decor is Modern and chic. I love everything about this place. I definitely will become a regular here.“

“After visiting Estiatorio Milos at Hudson Yards last week, the comparison made me realize that I’m actually far more drawn to the dining style of Anassa Taverna. There’s something about its atmosphere and approach to food that feels warmer, more effortless, and genuinely enjoyable rather than overly polished. The lobster pasta was outstanding — rich, flavorful, and beautifully balanced — while the fried calamari was unexpectedly impressive, perfectly light and crisp without feeling heavy. It’s the kind of meal that stays in your memory not because it tries too hard, but because every detail feels naturally well done.“

“Only 1 table inside, but the food is great and worth take out if there's no sitting room. On nice days they have an additional small table or two outside. The owners and workers are wonderful. I'm addicted but can't get there often enough. I dined in, tried just about every dish and got take out also.“

“Great food and not expensive“

“Everything we tried was really good! 10/10 Dinner. From the drinks to the dessert, everything was purposeful and soooo tasty. We had margaritas that were tasty and balanced, then had a creamy hummus, with some fish tacos that were very tasty and a little spicy. Then for the main course we had kebabs. One seabass kebab and one arena lamb kebab. We ended up ordering an additional seabass kebab because it was that good! Will continue to come in to try more dishes. This is my second time here and the overall experience has been top notch. Would recommend this spot to anyone that want to go to a good seafood restaurant with a datenight vibe.“

“Delicious, healthy, and fresh food. One of my favorite restaurants. Great for taking out when you don’t feel like cooking lunch or dinner, or for dining in. Good vegetarian options too. And my absolute favorite frozen yogurt. Nothing compares to it. So good.“

“this is the best restaurant best American,Italian, and Albanian food in the state I wish everybody can enjoy this restaurant“

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

“Great find in Scarsdale! Cutest little spot that transports you to a restaurant in the Mediterranean/Italy. Small, well appointed trattoria style restaurant. Warm, friendly service. Great natural light.

This is the place for those perfect aperol spritzies & fresh food. Fresh bread & imported olive oil served to start. We then ordered the Mediterranea Salad which was so refreshing: tomatoes, red peppers, cucumber, red onion, feta & light lemon dressing - great start. Margherita pizza & the Chicken Parm were both outstanding. Pizza is the perfect size, light but crispy with san marzano tomatoes, mozzarella fior di latte, evoo & basil. The Chicken Parm is understated, but hits all the marks - chicken pounded thin, crispy breading, tangy sauce & fresh parm.

Same owner as Cafe Alaia, which we're trying next, but this spot is already heavy in our rotation from now on.

“Jap konsideraten dhe rekomandimin me te larte per Nana’s Kitchen ne adresen 1809 Hone ave, Bronx NY per varietete e shumllojshme te ushqimeve tradicionale Shqiptare, per te cilat une se bashku me nje grup shokesh prej 15 vetash shijuam fundjaven e shkuar. Gjeta pas 23 vjetesh ku pergatisin ushqimin ne taven e balte, e po ashtu provuam mish qengji te pjekur, pace, qofte te zgares, sallate fshati e buken qe ne shqiptaret e duam shume qe e pergatisnin vete si dhe u embelsuam me bakllavane plot shije. Sherbimi ishte shembullor dhe lokali ishte i dekoruar me shije duke ruajtur traditen Shqiptare. Falenderojme pronarin Landi Kodra per kenaqesine qe na dha per disa ore ne restorantin e tij. Se shpejti TV Alba Life do te sjelle edhe nje kronike me te plote rreth ketij restorani dhe pershtypjet edhe te klienteve te tjere.“

“Man get down here ASAP. I am the Biggest food snob. This place rocks. Johnny Mac YouTubes Cook it with Johnny Mac“

“Food was out of this world…“

“Stopped by Grillmark for the first time and had a great experience. The space is clean, modern, and has a relaxed feel that fits perfectly with the whole fresh and healthy concept. The service is great.

We tried a variety of items starting with the Healthy Glow and Green Machine which were both refreshing and a great way to start. The Italian market salad was loaded and really filling, and the Greek salad had all the classics done right. We also had the Mexican salad in a pita which was fresh and something a little different.

For mains, the turkey burger and salmon burger were both solid, clean options that still delivered. The buffalo chicken sandwich added a nice kick. The house made gyro chicken with tzatziki kept things simple and fresh.

We also tried an assortment of skewers including steak, pork, chicken, lamb chops, salmon, shrimp, and swordfish which gave a great mix of everything. The side of house made quinoa tied it all together nicely.

Overall, a great spot if you’re looking for clean, fresh, and filling meals made with quality ingredients. Definitely worth checking out“

“The Koshari! Will go back again for sure!“

“On god this might be one of my top 5 places to eat from of all time. I’ve been here with friends and family and I never had a bad experience. The food and tea here is so fire. Only one thing I would mention is their outdoor heater system they had previously was so cozy and I wish they brought it back.“

“Taste Choice Shawarma is one of those places that just does it right. The rice platters are the best thing to order—flavorful, filling, and consistently on point. If you’re not getting a platter, at least grab the kebab platter or get the kebabs on the side because they’re a must-have.
The sandwiches are great too, packed well and full of flavor. Food overall is amazing, and the service is top-tier—super friendly, and sometimes they’ll even let you keep a bottle of sauce at the table so you can go crazy with it if you’re dining in.
Reliable, generous, and easy to love. One of my go-to spots.“

“Atik Restaurant offers an unforgettable dining experience where exceptional cuisine meets artistry. The food and drinks are crafted with remarkable quality, while the ambience—complete with enchanting lights and graceful dancers—feels truly magical. Conveniently located with nearby parking, it’s the perfect setting for a special occasion. Highly recommended.“

“Fast service and food tastes soo good“

“The food is great…specially the Grill Octopus 🐙 👍👍“

“recomiendo es una Delicia restaurant Chicken.Kebab“

“excellent meal this evening. very large portions.. thank you Highly recommend. շնորհակալություն shnorhakalut’yun“

“Love the food specially the desserts!“

“We had the famous Dominican pizza and the chofan and for me the chofan was on point but my son loved the Dominican pizza.I went on a Friday night and I had no idea that this place turned into a club. So if you want a late dinner and then a party this is the place.“

“The food & the service are both amazing.“

“Moved to Irvington 2 years ago & its my go to restaurant , great food, the BEST drinks & amazing service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Love a corner restaurant! Staff is always so cool and welcoming. The cocktails are well designed, the space is dark and comfy for groups but I think it’s especially sexy for a date night. I know that offer a few fun happy hour “girl dinner options”. However my obsession lies with the chicken dinner, which normally would not be my go to at a spot, but this dish has a hold on me. It’s such a good size that you could share it but it’s also so delicious you don’t want to. The chicken is pounded thin but still juicy and subtly sweet, comes with an amazing pairing of crazy creamy polenta and this somehow addictive kale, but the true star is the smoky sauce that I want to bathe in. So divine! If they ever got rid of it I would cry.“

“Perfect food !!! Excellent service 👍🏼“

“Muy buena atención y la comida excelente“

“We’ve been obsessed with this place for the past couple months, the food is amazing I highly recommend it! The salito fries, cheesesteak and the mixed platters are my forever go to! If you’re ever close to this place please check it out!! ❤️“

“Had such a wonderful experience at Herb & Olive! The food was so fresh and delicious and our server Zoya was so amazing. She made great recommendations and was so sweet and accommodating with our son!“

“I got a chicken gyro to eat inside, the lady asked “with everything?” and I said yes. Usually “with everything” means that it has fries (and no lettuce). The one I received did not have fries (it had lettuce). Disappointing. It was still great and had crispy gyro meat. I ate inside the restaurant and at some point a worker opened the door and a horrid dishwasher sewage smell blasted out, in my direction. I had nearly finished eating at that point but my last bites were difficult to swallow.“

“First time ordering from Yummy Gyro and I was very happy. Everything was delicious. Even my daughters who are super picky enjoyed the food. Will definitely be ordering again.“

“The octopus is PERFECTLY cooked. The flavors are incredible. I only wish it came with some potato or salad underneath. We also got the lamb fricassee, that sauce is so lovely and lemony. I think the lamb was just a touch over cooked but that is my only note on that dish. We got a half portion of rice on the side and I would recommend so you can savor every last bit of the sauce! The service is great, and I love the atmosphere. It feels like old New York and you are surrounded by Greek families in the restaurant. They gave bread with a delish vinegar and the end of the meal was a nice rice pudding dessert on the house. I will definitely be coming back!“

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

“Husband and I finally dined here a little over a week ago for an early birthday dinner for me and the entire experience was nothing short of sublime. Although I was tempted by the views from the window-side tables, I wanted the Kitchen Table experience, and it was an excellent choice. We drove down from Dutchess County (fyi, whoever designed the Taconic Parkway should be fired, but I digress). The complimentary valet parking made our arrival easy. We were directed to the elevator and from the moment we got off on the floor of the restaurant, we were greeted immediately, and the entire staff was incredibly attentive, polite, and welcoming. The main dining areas are nicely decorated and subtly sophisticated. The chef’s table experience was phenomenal. We got very personal attention from the chef and staff members, and enjoyed watching (and inhaling the aromas from) both the main kitchen and pastry side during our meal. The service was excellent and attentive without being overbearing. Water and wine were poured promptly, the pacing of the courses was perfect, and the explanation for the dishes and wine were appreciated. We decided to get the wine pairing, and the pours were both generous and excellently paired with the courses. It was a lot of wine so by the 4th or 5th glass, I was really feeling it and enjoying myself, to say the least. The food was outstanding across the board. I love seafood so I was quite happy with the 7 fish offerings. We started out with 3 different breads, all different and all delicious, and I’m pretty sure I ate the roasted yeast butter on its own, and then uni and yellowtail, which are 2 of my favorites. It feels kind of dismissive to say “all of the courses were delicious,” but they really were. The black cod, iberico pork shoulder with fava been puree, and the prime dry aged rib eye were probably my favorite courses. I wish I had more room since the chef offered us additional rib eye, but I was pretty much at capacity and we still had dessert. The meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The iberico pork dish was crispy, salty, full of umami flavor, and it paired perfectly with the grassy, herbaceous, and silky fava bean puree. There was only one course that I wasn’t as enthusiastic about, the bacalhau a bras carmelle. Each course was so good that I couldn’t wait to see if the next would top it. Each course was a few bites, leading up to the larger beef at the end. Of the 3 dessert courses, the first 2 were my favorite. The first was “pear” which was a contrast of textures and temperatures. It was really outstanding and the cold bits in the dessert were a nice, light contrast to the heavy meal we had just finished. The next was a tart/cold dessert with sweet potato shavings and biscuit-like crackers (my dearest apologies to the pastry chef, I cannot describe it any better). It was all so different and worked well together. Again, the contrast in textures/temperature/flavors worked so well together. By the last dessert course, I was fairly stuffed and couldn’t finish. Again, there was a savory component (lettuce) that was (and I’m guessing here) caramelized so it was sweet and I ate both pieces. There was a custard as well and the crust was so flaky, and I was sorry that I couldn’t eat more of it. 3 ½ hours later, we waddled out quite satisfied and happy. Next time, we’d skip the wine pairing because it was simply too much but I can’t wait to visit here again and try new dishes. I don’t think I can accurately convey how delicious our food was or what a great time we had.“

“Great food . . . All of our dishes were absolutely excellent!!!“
