26 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Cleveland Heights

“I've been to restaurants all over the nation and this is one of my absolute favorites! They have tons of GF options. All their food and drinks are phenominal and the staff is amazing to boot.“

“Today was my first time here and I came with friends and my 5 year old son. We had the pleasure of being waited on by Sebastian! He was extremely patient with my son and went the extra mile with his food recommendations and making it kid-friendly. He also noticed which sauces I seemed to like the most and brought one that did not originally come with my meal. The food and atmosphere as wonderful in itself, but Sebastian made our first time here one to be remembered! Thank you to him!!“

“Absolutely amazing! I was so in love with this place. The food is so fresh and everything came out really fast. Service was excellent, so kind and warm since we stepped in. I love how they don’t hover over you! And lastly, the atmosphere here is so calm, quiet, and just perfect for a small get away from the loud city. I’m definitely coming back here!“

“Great brunch and Middle-Eastern food. Awesome, friendly staff.“

“Just love this place. Everything they make is fresh and tasty. Freshly made pita separates this place from others. Every single component they have is of high quality which isn’t very common. It’s like Mediterranean chipotle but way better when it comes to the quality of ingredients and care they put into everything they make. Highly recommended“

“Highly recommended for jihadi death cultists, gullible college students, and the Red Cross. Walls of this Hamas haven shine with anti-Semitic art and tropes calling for the delegitimization of Israel and the genocide of Jews. Complete with a fireplace, couches and comfy chairs, it’s a warm and hospitable place to relax. Especially after a hard day of protesting for Palestinian rights to murder, r-pe, kidnap, and impose worldwide Sharia law. Step inside this decked-out terror tunnel and order items that Yahya Sinwar himself would have enjoyed in hiding. Menu treats include: Palestinian tea; Palestinian cucumber salad; white pizza with Palestinian olive oil; and of course, Gaza miish, which is to die for. While the restaurant doesn’t need my advice, I respectfully suggest new signature entrees: Heil Hummus, Führer Falafel, and Zyklon Beef. From the Ohio River to the Lake Erie sea, Algebra Tea House shall set you free. Unless you’re a Jewish baby hostage. Allahu Akbar! ☝️“

“Delicious! will definitely be back‼️“

“Wonderful food very tasty.“

“Food was all perfect - love the blue cheese dressing on the romaine wedge salad and Branzino and other guests were very happy with their meals - lamb shanks, salmon, and seafood tortellini. Waitress Mandy was excellent. Really appreciated that we could reserve a table for a regular time rather than specific New Year's Eve seatings and it was no problem to be out of there before their 1 3/4 -2 hour time limit for the special night, even with dessert and apps. Multi-racial clientele and good jazz over the sound system.“

“Also thankful of the ways a plan was made to minimize the damage for people. the patience was astounding. And also taught lesson and stuff along the way through conflict and issues. even tho they didn't have to. but don't expect them too. much love and prosperous was to Luxe. I understand why what happened. alot of it knowing everyone is ok. And not being mad at the situations that played.. Thank your staff for not feeling right but making right!!“

“We took our son for his 18th birthday and they really made it special! The food was fantastic! Our server was impeccable and birthday message and puff pastries was the perfect touch! Thank you for such an amazing experience!“

“I LOVE this family owned business in Ohio City! The young lady at the counter encouraged me to try their baba (because I really hate it everywhere else I’ve had it) and it was INCREDIBLE. Everything on this menu is fresh, flavorful and intentional - there’s no way to go wrong.“

“Such a cozy spot! The staff is super friendly, the coffee tastes great, and the vibe makes you want to stay longer than you planned. Everything feels fresh and made with care which you don't get many places. Definitely one of my new favorite places.“

“The food is fantastic. Love the pita, grape leaves, falafel, etc., etc., etc. Always treated well, never felt disrespected, but then, unlike another commenter, I'm not a thin-skinned fry operator who has an unrealistic and umdeserved ego. Will be there in a couple of days to pick up the fixings for NYE dinner.“

“Thank you for the lovely dinner! We had a fantastic time while visiting Cleveland. I’ll definitely be back.😘 Exceptional Italian food! 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹“

“I always enjoy the variety of products and the attitude of the purveyors. I have been a Market lover for 50 years“

“Nika, no one can understand what you're saying. You need to use proper grammar. Something tells me you ate your Gyro and enjoyed it.“

“EXCELLENT FOOD!!!! !!!!!!!!“

“The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The pesto hummus appetizer was the best we’ve ever had.“

“Falafel was top notch! 👌 Exquisite! 10/10 recommend! Our server was so kind and helpful and the atmosphere was beautiful and welcoming. Couscous tasted delicious, lamb was good, no complaints. All around great first experience. Will definitely be back. Thank you.“

“I can now understand what all of the hype is about it. Believe it. Probably one of the best gyros I’ve ever had.“

“Our server was excellent. I would recommend increasing the lighting at the tables, to read the menu we had to use our phone . The good was good but prices are a bit much .“

“The food here is amazing, delicious, and healthy. The service is excellent. They really take the time to make you feel at ease and they give you the friendliest service. One particular staff member, a tall gentleman was very kind and asked how I liked the food, took the time to tell me my options when I was ordering, and offered to put my tray away when I was done eating. Now that’s service! Service in most places have not been satisfactory lately as the food service industry slowly picks back up from a type of recession. But the customer care and service here is above and beyond.“

“The gyro was prepared with the meat nice and browned adding to the flavor. The pita was also slightly browned and it made it very tasty. The sauce was also very good. Inside seating is fine for a quick bite. The staff was so friendly and cheerful.“
