18 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Shaker Heights

“This is my new favorite place for lunch! Start with a pita or bowl of rice, lentils, and greens and add chicken, beef, or falafel. Top with pickled cukes and beets, and add roasted red pepper sauce or others. Next choose from roasted carrots, eggplant, an cauliflower. A well balanced healthy lunch.“

“Tried CASSA today during their soft opening, and we were not disappointed! From the start, the service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and informative. Every ingredient in our bowls was fresh and absolutely delicious. The flavors were well-balanced and incredibly satisfying. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed everything we tried. We’re already looking forward to coming back, and we highly recommend CASSA!“

“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! ☝️“

“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!“

“The restaurant is very pretty inside and very intimate feeling. Our server was very knowledgeable and helped us with our choices of the vast menu. They had some unusual choices that you don't see on every menu in town. The cocktails were delicious too. Yes it was a bit pricey but well worth it. We will definitely be back.“

“Having recently moved to this side of town I was dying for authentic Greek cuisine... so happy I found this place ! Staff is super friendly and the food is amazing. You would think they had YaYA in the back doing all the cooking :) trust me when I tell you to give them a try !“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“EXCELLENT FOOD!!!! !!!!!!!!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 food was beyond delicious! If it weren't for the fact I got super full I would've cleaned my plate and fought the urge to lick it clean. I truly enjoyed the welcoming host and servers and the relaxed environment. We ate and talked for an hour and a half and I never felt rushed or like a nuisance. The staff (Zack our waiter especially) was very kind I ordered ice cream and Baklava to go and he kept it in the freezer for me so that I could take it on my way out without it melting. The food!! I had the vegetarian stew with rice and it blew my mind. I was apprehensive about the mushrooms and zucchini but it was all so delicious and hearty. It felt like eating something your grandmother prepared for you in the winter. My heart and belly are full 10/10 I would love to come back and when we visit Cleveland again.“

“They call themselves best gyros and I have to agree! The meat was cooked to perfection everything was fresh and the order was larger than I expected so I only ate half of what I ordered. I brought the rest home for my husband to try and now we can't wait to go back!“

“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.“
