38 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Independence

“Was randomly in the area and wanted to find a local coffee shop to get a couple of hours of work done. Let me tell you, this place is the perfect spot! Grabbed a donut and a cappuccino which were both great. Kind workers, very clean place and a great atmosphere to get some work done or have some coffee talk with a friend.

This is one of those places where you can tell who the regulars are because they are chatting and laughing with the employee's during their coffee talk.

Support Local. Support Sweet P's!“

“I met the Manager and let him know it was my first time there. He was very pleasant and recommended their hummus (a specialty) and highly recommended some of their specialty dishes. The food was excellent. If you’ve never been, you should check it out! Great prices, awesome place, excellent food and wonderful service. This was at the Powell location.“

“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.“

“YOU HAVE FOUND IT...This is THE spot for Mediterranean food. I got a bowl that was the size of my head. Good for 2 meals, think chipotle on Mediterranean steroids. Hummus and grape leaves delicious, Fresh ingredients and incredibly nice staff. Old school vibe, with a family feel.“

“Wonderful food and incredible owner.“

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

“Wonderful food very tasty.“

“I Love Assad's they have the Best Hummus and falafel ever!!! Fred and Mike and everyone are so friendly and nice I Totally recommend them...“

“Food was delicious! Only mild complaint is that I wish the veggies were actually hot but honestly since the flavor was all there I barely noticed that but it definitely would've made the food even better. Staff was all very nice and courteous and the atmosphere was pretty chill and they have lots of seating. Its a fast casual place so you get your food then find your own seating but me and my bf both ordered the falafel and had to wait for some to get ready so an employee did bring it to our table. Overall pretty excellent, I'm already telling my friends about it and itching to get back up there myself!“

“Excellent, creative menu. I’m GF and the flatbread option is delicious. Hummus is fantastic as were the brussels. Eclectic drink options. Great service. I’ll be back!“

“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‼️“

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!!“

“I was happily surprised to find the King Tut, Egyptian Street Food truck at my niece’s graduation party! The owners were helpful in explaining the menu and delightful to chat with. The food is delicious, full of flavor and seasoned perfectly. Even some of my family members, who are not that adventurous with food, raved about the various selections they tried!“

“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!“

“Amazing food I got the four seasons waffle and it was loaded up with ice cream cholate and fruit and my server Youseff yeas great!“

“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.“

“The most amazing salmon I’ve ever eaten. Loved the grape leaves, rice and veggies as well. Wish I lived closer to eat here often.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Hosted a Rehearsal Dinner at Summer Place and it was AMAZING! The food was awesome, the staff were very professional and courteous. George specifically was a great waiter! Everyone in attendance had a fabulous time. Well done! Highly recommend and the view…PRICELESS“

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

“Wow!! I loved this place so much!! The moment we walked in, we knew that this place was legit. The palak paneer was delicious! The samosa chaat was unbelievable; so fresh and flavorful. You have to try the Masala Chai, better than any latte, machiatos or teas ever! Seriously one of the best places I've been to. They're so sweet and super chill vibes. I wanna move in to this place lol“

“Friends brought tubs of beet as well as turmeric hummus to a party. They had such a great texture and flavor, I could not stop eating it, and the colors were so bright and vibrant. I said we needed to go get some of our own. So the next day we went to the market and found Jacob’s and got two different types and they were delicious as well. Shout out to the dill pickle hummus. It’s going on my most favorite eats list.“

“Honestly i love this places, great family atmosphere and really great employees. There food is usually 5☆ but it was pretty disappointing today. We bought a buck of baklava and sweets and the neurs were mushy and soft. Everything that was supposed to be crispy was soggy and just not good, even the pistachios were soft and mushy. I've bought these same things in the past and they've been delicious so idk why today it was so bad. I probably won't buy the sweets that are pretty pricey again because of how bad they were.“

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

“EXCELLENT FOOD!!!! !!!!!!!!“

“Fresh delicious food! nice owners the food was high quality and so good“

“Didn't stay at the hotel but enjoyed the buffet breakfast here! I think the price is reasonable and much lower than many other 4-star hotels (and considering that the same price might give you just one plate of food at many other places), and the quality/selection was definitely better than limited service brands such as Fairfield, Residence Inn, Hampton Inn, etc. Lots of frush fruits, which was a plus. Plus, the interior architecture just outside of the restaurant is amazing and well worth a stop.“

“Delicious food and great service“

“Pita bread was fresh and ate so much of it.
Lamb Adana tasted delicious with its seasonings.
Dolma/Stuffed grape leaves were also good, a bit oily for my preference.
Price point is definitely a bit of a concern.

Overall a good experience with attentive friendly staff.“

“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 .“

“This place is immaculate! Every time I go there the food is fresh and hot and great the only thing is I like my eggs over easy and it's only one time that I went and the young lady got it right every other time and I speak good money at this location for my contractors I treat them to lunch or breakfast so I'm usually ordering between 4 to 5 meals usually the breakfast and they serve the breakfast all day which makes it great! Although there are many locations with this name however this is one of the absolute delicious!♥️“

“I don’t usually write reviews, but I just had to for this place! The shisha café was amazing, and the staff made it even better. Molly helped me pick a flavor – strawberry with lemon mint – and it was honestly a fantastic choice, exactly what I was looking for. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the shisha was top-notch. Highly recommended!“
