13 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Syracuse

“My absolute favorite restaurant in Syracuse. The fries are immaculate with the perfect crispy exterior, and soft smooth interior. My go to main dish is the Kefta Kebab, and they always fulfill my request of extra Sumac on the side :) The staff is so friendly, it's always pleasant to come here. I am moving and this will be the place I genuinely miss the most in Syracuse!! I forgot to take a picture before eating, so here is a picture of my leftovers from the Kefta Kebab platter. This is a must visit restaurant if you like middle eastern food!!

Edit, forgot to say: I also took notice of how clean this restaurant is. Every time me and my family come in, I see how sparkly clean all the tables, kitchen, and bathrooms look. This puts lots of confidence in quality!“

“This was the second time I was there for lunch. Did not disappoint. The falafel bowl was excellent, and you get your money’s worth. I had enough leftover, so that now I have for dinner too. Very nice staff. Reasonable prices for the portions served. I highly recommend the place.“

“Absolutely phenomenal! I ordered the Kabob Guys Mixed Grill Family Platter for pick up. Everyone bit of it was delicious! Our family enjoyed it all. The staff was so friendly when I picked it up. Even offered to help me to the car. Food was ready at my scheduled pick up time and was hot. I will easily go back and I know my family will too! So great!“

“WONDERFUL FOOD. Reasonably priced. Excellent quality and service. Staff are always pleasant. Why spend 15-20 on fast foods, when you can get a real meal deal at GOODIES ?!?“

“We had a wonderful dinner at Lavish tonight. The food was delicious. The service was friendly, helpful, & quick. Would definitely recommend.“

“I ordered the falafel pita and walnut baklava. The sandwich was filling and delicious. Will go here again.“

“Best Gyro I have ever had and I am Extremely Pickey. The Sauce, Pita, Ingredients could not get any better. I highly recommend everyone to give it a try. Love, Love, Love, Love It!!!!!“

“It’s alright. I used to like it a lot but with more middle eastern choices I’d probably go somewhere else. But I have still enjoyed a few meals from here.“

“Super sad to write this review. This is my favorite Mediterranean restaurant in Syracuse. The only thing I've actually ever gotten here is the Shish Tawook bowl, but it's just amazing. Today when I ordered it, the gentleman behind the counter misunderstood and gave me the platter. When I asked why there were no french fries, he called the gentleman from the kitchen in who had seen me come in and recognized me and remembered my order as the platter, and so that's what he did. In his defense, he did ask me, "Shish Tawook?" and I did say yes. It seemed simple enough to fix by adding the fries and charging me for the bowl, but the gentlemen charged me for the platter and then an additional five dollars for the fries. So instead of $16.50, it was $19.50. When I pointed out the error, he called the gentleman from the kitchen in, and then both of them argued that I had not said "bowl," (I had) and that me saying "yes" when the gentleman asked me the question meant that this is what I ordered. We're only talking about three dollars, and yes, I could just let that go, but it was more the principle of it. You would think they would just say, "so sorry, no worries, let us fix that." Especially for a regular customer who's never done anything but sing their praises. My rating is still pretty high, because the food is so good, and the service has always been so friendly, and I don't understand what happened today. Super sad about it.“

“I’ll get straight to the point , food amazing I have absolutely no complaints at all ever n I order from the like once a week ❤️ great business n food!“

“I love the Westcott Grocery! I probably stop through here a few times a week for little treats and drinks, but my favorite things are all the South Asian/Desi snacks and spices they have! The people who work here are very friendly and it really just feels like a nice neighborhood store.“

“Chicken Over Bulgar taste amazing, I'm glad you have authentic Middle Eastern options as such, and not just chicken over fries or rice! Dish looks very presentable as well.“

“everything was great except a $16 Manhattan that was too small to be considered a fair size for this drink. My mistake to accept it. I should have refused it. Everything else was perfect.“
