50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Yonkers

“Amazing!!!! Everything from the moment you walked in you feel welcome and the food is absolutely delicious!!!!!“

“This place is beyond delicious. Better than 53rd, better than any halal restaurants in the area. This is the only shawarma I’ve tried in NY that tastes just like my homelands. The flavors are on point!! The meat and ingredients are very high quality. It’s a blessing to have a healthy take out spot that’s open late. I highly recommend the lamb shawarma combo and lamb over rice!! They are very generous with their portions.
- More of a take out/catering spot
- Service is very kind but can be slow. It is worth the 30-40 minutes wait!!!“

“Here's the review Spencer wrote for you: My family and I just visited to celebrate my grandsons birthday- we like to get a bunch of plates and share family style and this menu was perfect for that. You have to get mezze and extra bread (must try the kubane). We also ended up getting three orders of the shishbarak for the six of us, it is way too good! I got the salmon for my entree which was cooked to perfection and beautifully seasoned. Spencer our server recommended the silan and the cheesecake for dessert so we shared those and boy were they something special- I can’t pick a favorite! He brought us a candle and we got some great pictures. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

“The best Albanian food in NY😋👌“

“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!“

“Excellent food, service and ambiance. Try the mixed grilled sampler, and the desserts are espectacular!!!“

“Bella’s kitchen is absolutely delicious. The food is fresh, creative and so good. The portions are a nice size and the staff is warm and friendly. I took two of my friends there this weekend, and they absolutely felt the same way. I highly recommend Bella’s.kitchen.“

“5 stars always !!!!!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Simon the waiter was excellent, after speaking with owner about our concerns..Everything was corrected . I look forward in returning next week“

“My family wasn’t familiar with Turkish food, but we decided to try this restaurant because of the great reviews. We were pleasantly surprised by how delicious everything was, and the staff was so friendly, making our dining experience comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you, Salih!“

“This restaurant is a hidden gem. With incredible service, ambiance, and exquisite
Cuisine. Every dish is crafted to perfect, with incredible flavor. This local spot in Hillsdale has become a favorite spot for me to escape the craziness of everyday and just unwind. It’s a great place for a casual dinner, celebration, and catching up with loved ones. Don’t hesitate to visit this spot, you will not be disappointed. They are BYOB so there’s a perfect excuse to bring a friend.“

“El Jardin is a true Mediterranean gem! The mint lemonade was crisp and refreshing, and the hummus was silky smooth. We loved the lamb skewer and grilled chicken—both juicy and full of flavor. The fresh Mediterranean salad was the perfect, vibrant side. Great food, warm service—can’t wait to come back!“

“Great Lunch… Izzy our waiter went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying our lunch. We go here frequently and always a good meal and very accommodating.“

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

“Fantastic Doner, the cuisine is exceptional.“

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

“Delicious food! The chopped salad was very fresh and tasty, and the chicken kebab was super juicy and full of flavor. I must come back for more!“

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

“An awesome experience. Great food and very attentive service. Will be back ❤️“

“Consistently quality, with outstanding flavor. Honest, authentic dishes, and delicious desserts. BYOB.“

“Delicious! Friendly service.“

“We stumbled upon Olar Noso and were very happy we did. The food selection was very diverse, offering a nice mix of Spanish tapas and Italian delicacy. They also offer a better than average wine selection, at reasonable (restaurant) prices. The salmon tartare stole the show, but the Gorgonzola stuffed dates, garlic shrimp, and meatball tapas dishes were amazing supporting roles to an overall great meal. Their homemade potato chips made for great table pickins as well. We'll definitely be back to try some of their meat entrees (someone near us had the skirt steak and that ranks top on the list). Well done Olar Noso (but I'll take my skirt steak medium rare when I return;)“

“Food and service excellent“

“So good and fresh, very tasty, clean place The rice is buenisimo“

“My kids and I love this place and keep going back. The food is consistently great and the staff is always so nice, patient, accommodating and helpful.“

“Everything was really, really, really good, and fresh, especially the salad, meats cooked to order, the falafel. We also loved the hummus, babaganoush, and fluffy pita. Service was super friendly and accommodating to a ton of small special requests. Not sure why they gave us some flat store bought pita with our order and some delicious, fluffy, and fresh made (maybe they were running out?), but overall a really delightful surprise.“

“This is a classic Italian restaurant. Years ago in NYC there were many small restaurants on side streets that had excellent food. Very few of those survive. But Aperiti is heir to that tradition. We just came back from three weeks in Italy and Aperiti is as good as any of the restaurants that we experienced in Rome. Maybe even better.“

“Great food and good service!“

“From signature cocktails to the variety of meal choices (seafood, steak, pasta) Aurora does not disappoint. If you're able to get a spot at the bar during happy hour, discounted drinks and appetizers are also a plus! The staff are professional, attentive and friendly from beginning to end. Definitely worth going!👍👍👍😋“

“Great food, very good service with a smile 😃“

“I’m a repeat customer and I cater from here when I’m entertaining guests. Reliably delicious food you can count on. Flavors, quality and freshness are always 💯 perfect. Get compliments when I’ve catered. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in North Jersey. Love the owner and staff who are so kind.“

“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.“

“Great food service and vibe!! Highly recommend!!“

“I tried it and the food is exquisite, I recommend it 100% ✌️🥰“

“We either ordered the wrong things or it was an off night for this restaurant because our experience was nothing like what other reviewers say. Restaurant was so noisy that we had to shout to our table companions all evening. The imam bayaldi was oversalted and underflavored and pine nuts doled out as if they were diamonds. The shrimp was hard, dry, overcooked, oversalted and flavorless sitting on a bed of gloppy watery tomatoes. Half the lamb kabobs were ok and half were nothing but gristle. Servers were very pleasant, and helpful with wine selection but the wait for our dishes seemed interminable. What was good -- very good --the rice with the lamb kabobs, the rice pudding and the coffee. But too much money for bad (sorry, but that's what it was) food. As I said, maybe we ordered the wrong dishes or maybe it was just an off night.“

“This is a wonderful, delicious restaurant with generous portions. The appetizers are great and the mains are excellent. I love their gyro meat, Shepard salad and assorted appetizer plate. If you enjoy Turkish food you can’t go wrong with this restaurant.“

“I came here with friends to celebrate a birthday and had a wonderful time. I highly recommend Avenue Gyro! The staff is very accommodating, polite and friendly. The food was fresh, homemade and delicious! We came in February on a Wednesday night, but I imagine this place fills up on weekends and during warmer months -- it Must! Warm atmosphere, earthy decor, clean facilities... what more can I say? We loved everything we ate. Edita took excellent care of us and the chef came out to check on us also! No complaints from us. We had great food and excellent, attentive service. 5/5.“

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

“fantastic place. If you want to support peace, love, and harmony line up outside!“

“The brunch and the twin waitresses where amazing. I can’t wait to come back“

“We sat outside. Our party was served quickly and efficiently. Food was very good.“

“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.“

“Service was great, the staff is friendly. Falafel pita was very good and affordable. I would come back!

Update: I was craving samosas and figured this would be the place to go. No regrets! I got the veggie ones and they were great. Not overly spicy and generous filling. The filling had a mashed potatoes texture which I loved.“

“They are great, friendly staff with great food.“

“I loved the food at this place, very faithful to its flavors, good prices and admirable service, I asked that they remove the music for my son who has a hearing problem and without thinking much the manager removed it, making our stay pleasant while you enjoyed its rich flavors.

Vegetarian options: I guess they do have options.

Kid-friendliness: Yeah

Wheelchair accessibility: I don't remember seeing wheelchair access.“

“Best Ethiopian cuisine I’ve had outside of Ethiopia! Service was great, atmosphere was vibrant, live music, open mic, poetry this place has it all!“
