50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Toronto

“Amazing food! Will be back!“

“The large Michelin-recommended sign at the entrance certainly sets high expectations, and in many ways, the experience lived up to that. Service was nearly flawless—attentive, professional, and warm throughout the evening. The cocktails were a definite highlight: creative, well-balanced, and expertly crafted.

The food, while good overall, didn’t quite reach the same heights. A cabbage dish had a lovely sauce, but the cabbage itself felt undercooked and was difficult to eat, with the filling being rather plain. The bureg had a rich, doughy texture, but the filling was slightly too runny and lacked structure. Dessert, though flavorful, was let down by an overly thick tart shell that overwhelmed the filling.

While the meal had strong points and was enjoyable, a few refinements would elevate it to match the Michelin-level promise the sign suggests.“

“Great vibe. Food & drinks are wonderful“

“Wow ... we are completely impressed. The food is delicious. The customer service is impeccable! After food was missed from our order, without question or delay the restaurant corrected our order plus sent a complimentary dish. Very impressed. We without a doubt will order/visit Limon again!“

“So pleased with our dining experience Constantine Toronto. The Restaurant manager Rudra went out of her way to ensure we had an amazing dining experience. Stephen and Emma who served us for dinner and brunch were professional and fun all at the same time. The chefs are truly talented and it showed throughout the flavours of our meal choices. Cocktails from David and Ashley in the cocktail bar were also elevated and unique. I would highly recommend this Restaurant and look forward to our return Micheal and Shawn Cheers“

“Delicious meal, falafel& Shawarma“

“I got the falafel plate. Taste is off the charts. The super fresh ingredients are a big reason why. Would love to just keep coming back here to try new sides every time. They all look so delicious! Very nice service as well. Solid value for a filling meal.“

“LOVED my meal here . Also such friendly and kind employees ! I got a gyro wrap regular size and it was more than enough with a side of fries. The sauce they put on it (medium ) was so delicious but a little bit more spicy than I anticipated. The fries were one of the best fries I have ever had. I will definitely be back here next time I am in town. Thank you !“

“We had a wonderful birthday celebration at Aviv tonight! The friendly, attentive, welcoming staff and owner helped to make it a special evening.

“Excelente lugar y cálido ambiente“

“I recently visited this restaurant and had a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Each dish was served with great attention to detail, and the presentation was beautiful. The highlight of my visit was definitely the excellent service provided by Uday. He was very professional, polite, and attentive throughout our meal. From greeting us with a warm smile to making sure we were comfortable and satisfied, his hospitality truly stood out.

Uday went out of his way to recommend dishes, explain the menu, and ensure everything was served on time. His friendly and respectful attitude made our dining experience even more enjoyable.

It’s rare to find staff who combine professionalism with genuine care for customers, and Uday did exactly that. Thank you for making our visit special—I would definitely come back again because of the wonderful service.“

He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect. His professionalism and warm attitude truly enhanced our dining experience. Highly recommend!“

“Food is always great with fresh ingredients and fries fried right in front of you, staff is polite and friendly and accommodating to both letting you build your meal to your preferences or just doing it their way, seating is relatively comfortable- a slightly sterile, very modern look that's not to my preferences, but not enough to knock a star“

“Delicious food, faster service“

“Best shawarma in Toronto!“

“What a delightfully unique spot! When you first walk in, the layout and decor might catch you off guard — a little quirky, a little unexpected — but that’s part of the charm. There are a few cozy tables up front, and more tucked away past the grill in the back.

We stopped in for breakfast and were absolutely delighted. Nothing over the top, just a classic, comforting plate of sausage and eggs, prepared with real care. The eggs were cooked to perfection, and the fresh fruit on the side was a lovely touch.

The couple who run the place are warm and welcoming, and it’s clear they put their heart into everything they do. One of my favourite details? They have actual newspapers on hand, just like a proper old-school diner. A real gem of a place — can’t wait to return.“

“I arrived right on closing time yesterday (9.30pm) and even though they were closing up these lovely people prepared me a delicious falafel in pita with the works. I took a seat outside, and devoured it while watching the Pride weekend world go by.“

“I had tried Saj Wraps in boustan,Montreal before, so I was on the lookout for something similar in Toronto. My friend Katie and I stopped by last Thursday night, and it was a great find.

There was only one person working—Sawn—and he truly impressed us. Super friendly, humble, and fast. He recommended the Zaatar with chicken, falafel wraps, and the sujuk pide. We ordered all three, and they were fresh, packed with flavour, and absolutely delicious.Despite handling multiple orders alone, Sawn had our food ready in just 12–15 minutes. His positive attitude and speed really stood out.The place has a cozy vibe, great service, and amazing food. It’s a true hidden gem, and I’ll definitely be coming back with more friends soon!“

“hoooooly moly. $7.99 for a chicken shawarma save me. Please save me $7.99 chicken shawarma. You have pulled me out of the deep hole of inflation and saved me with your loving open wide arms. I got a chicken with fries and I think it genuinely prevented me from a silly careless night. the fries are the battered kind that you can never recreate at home. the other people who ordered behind us included a newborn baby, a golden retriever, and a man who comes here daily. I love you. please never switch up bhais shawarma & grill.“

“Had a wonderful night celebrating my daughter’s birthday! Food was excellent! Our server, Joanna was very pleasant pleasant and helpful. The staff brought a cake for my daughter and made the occasion a memorable one! Highly recommend this place.“

“Super delicious flavours!“

“We had a recent event at Petros82! The service was amazing along with their delicious food! We will definitely be coming back soon! Highly recommend this restaurant for your corporate events!“

“I ordered the shawarma plate from Pita Lite and it was really good! The food was fresh, flavorful, and nicely portioned. The meat was tender, and the sides were well seasoned. The staff were friendly and polite, making the whole experience even better. Great spot for a quick, tasty meal — definitely recommend!“

“Huge respect for this restaurant. The two brothers that run this shop make every effort to make a friendly and welcoming environment here. They remember customer orders, ingredients always look fresh, and their food is amazing.

I personally recommend their falafel wrap.“

“Saw 2 shawarma plates for $20 as I was walking by on Yonge. Decided to check it out on a whim. Wasn't bad but could have done with more chicken. Still considering the price it wasn't bad. Just wish there was less vinegar in the plate. Salad and rice portion was decent.“

“One of the Best shawarmas I had in Toronto. It is meaty and saucy - they way I like it. Love that the have a hotdog sausage in the shawarma. I ordered the sweet potato fries too - which were also great The meat is tender and fresh - seems like you are eating thighs but it’s actually chicken breast. Highly recommended“

“We had never been before and chose the restaurant because we were seeing a play at the Canadian Stage on Berkeley street. The food was amazing. We had the Lebanese taco (falafel), Reyna salad, lamb baklava and cauliflower croquet … wow was delicious. Saffron baklava for dessert. Small plates so you can try a few things to share even with two people. A must try, we will be back“

“Everytging is good. The ingredients are fresh and the meats are never dry.“

“This place used to have the best Greek food and now it’s OK.

The food is still pretty good don’t get me wrong, it was just not as great as it used to be. Still better than most places.

And pretty reasonable prices for the portions you get“
