33 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Ambler

“Inventive, incredibly delicious cuisine. Can’t wait to go back and try more.“

“What a gem! I don’t know how I’ve never noticed this place despite having been to the paint store next door so often. Easily one of the best Italian restaurants in Montco. Incredible service; everyone was super kind and accommodating and our water glasses were never empty. The food came out super fast despite several large celebrations taking place. Generous portion sizes, fresh seafood and some of the most delectable handmade pasta dishes. It was such a treat to see sacchetti on a menu outside of Italy. The pear and cheese filling and sauce were incredibly unique and the pasta was ever so delicate. They were also very accommodating of our 15 month old son. We will be back soon and next time won’t forget to BYOB!“

“We had my son and future daughter in law’s rehearsal dinner at the Newtown location tonight. It was fabulous!!! Everything was done so well and the food was delicious and never stopped coming!! The servers were so pleasant and attentive. I would highly recommend for any special event. You would not be disappointed!!“

“I took my family here for dinner tonight, and the experience was awesome from start to finish. Making the reservation took <1 minute, parking was easy, and for those who enjoy BYOB, there’s a wine and spirits store just two doors down.

The service was outstanding and the food was phenomenal. This place is truly a hidden gem with fair pricing and an excellent menu. My boys, ages 9 and 7, even said it was one of the best places we’ve eaten, which says a lot.

Highly, highly recommended.

“Our first time at Blue Olive was to celebrate a birthday and it didn't disappoint. The fusion of Mediterranean/Tunisian/Greek food was nothing short if spectacular. The service was incredibly friendly and gracious and the ambiance charming. We started with hot appetizers of roasted artichokes, pan fried Halloumi cheese, Spanakopita and an evening special hummus with spiced, minced lamb served with warm pita. All so delicious we were tempted to forego our main courses of moussaka, lamb kebab and delicious lemon/caper cod served over a bed of roasted root vegetable. Desserts, celebrated with a happy birthday candle on a scrumptious chocolate/hazelnut cake , walnut baklava and Turkish coffee made the evening complete. This BYOB gem is a culinary find and we will be going back soon.“

“We were a party of 10 celebrating a birthday with no reservation but were accommodated immediately. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The chef (owner) greeted our party, provided a brief description of the menu and his concept, and gave us his recommendations. The melintzana, the mediterranean duo, and the meatbolls were great to share. I shared the Paella for two which tasted fresh and authentic. The chef's touch on traditional mediterranean dishes kept true to their origin and added a welcomed personalized flare. We are looking forward to dine there again.“

“Delicious food, beautiful scenery, very friendly staff.“

“Buck a schuck oysters, double braised short rib over rigatoni, key lime pie and even got a hug from the beautiful Solidea D! Everything was exquisite. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“delicious samosas and beryani“

“I love CAVA! This location is great because there’s no hustle and bustle for the lunch hour. I went to get a bowl because marketing works on me and my reward points are about to expire. I was greeted with a big smile by Theresa. She was so kind to listen to my Generation Y banter and make my seasonal white sweet potato bowl. I especially appreciated Theresa’s custom recipe and guidance, something out of my norm Harissa Chicken Avocado bowl.

I thoroughly enjoyed the white sweet potato and lamb combo with the fig dressing, definitely a banger. Another favorite would be the cucumber lime juice. Kudos to CAVA, looks like the fountain drink options have expanded, I’m a fan. I kept it simple with the meal, but I had to rave about Theresa, affectionately now my Mother Theresa with the amethyst crescent moon pendant. Stay pleasant!“

“Shoutout to the guys! Jay, Hussein and Jonathan really looked out for me! I placed my order last minute and got to the shop with a minute to spare. They didn’t treat me like “that guy” for being the last one in. The staff is as great as the food and you’ll be delighted to be served by these gentlemen!“

“I was visiting Villanova and a good friend brought me to Nova Grill. The owner was over the top nice and accommodating. His Greek Hospitality did shine. Instantly felt like a regular. The place was spotless and well set up. All cleanliness and proper measure were followed perfectly. The food was plentiful, cooked and presented well and hot ( often forgot these days). The Locaniko ( Loukaniko) was spot on in flavor. I will most definitely stop in again when in the area. Highly recommended.“

“The owner was so nice! We had the lamb gyro and chicken kabob and a mini sampler. All was delicious.“

“Absolutely delicious chicken shnitzel wrap! The ingredients were fresh and plentiful and left me completely satisfied. I'm glad there is really great Mediterranean food so close to home & I know I will definitely be ordering again soon!“

“I haven’t been here yet and am looking forward to trying. After reading so many excellent reviews and the handful complaining about their interactions with staff, it seems as though the issue could be the customers’ attitudes creating a negative situation.“

“Amazing food! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Fast fresh delicious food, and I really sweet newly expanded dining area“

“Fresh and delicious food! First time visiting and will be back very soon. Order anything Chargrilled on the menu and be happy!“

“Definitely will be coming back. I got the lamb gyro. It was packed with tender, fresh lamb and the spicy sauce was the perfect heat.“

“The owner is a huge supporter of local music. The food is great, the musical talent they bring in is awesome. What more can you ask for???“

“Very clean, excellent and kind waitress n server, and the food was perfect. This is definitely my new favorite dinner. I find so many waitresses these day are so rude but at this place especially at the dinner down the street from here, but this place i felt that hospitality and kindness that is rare these days, I believe its run by a family another rare thing these days. I highly recommend this small home town dinner 👌“

“The Falafels are hand made daily and the service is excellent. They’ll even run the order to you if time permits and if you are in a rush“

“We love the expanding options here . . . from amazing turkey specials ("How many napkins?" they ask before building!) to chicken parm sandwiches and the recent addition of a hot food bar (OMG the chicken marsala!), CreekSide has become a weekly go-to spot for us!“

“My husband and I took our daughter and friends here tonight for dinner and everything was magnificent!!! So fresh! So delicious! Our server, Catherine, was wonderful. It was our first time but we will definitely be back!“

“I traveled from Ann arbor for the weekend and wanted to visit Lourdas. I hadn't been there for years but it is as lovely and inviting as it was years ago. We had grilled Octopus salad and soupa avgolemono. Then we had shrimp Lourdas and lamb chops. They were both delectable. We took baklava and galactobureko home for dessert. The staff were attentive and patient and the other patrons seemed to be regulars with a few newbies here and there. I can't wait to go back!!“

“highly recommended. I visit them every time I'm in Philly. by far number 1 in the area in my opinion. I love their shawarma in their home made saj bread. keep up the good work 👏“

“Okay, wow. This place seriously hits different. The food was soooo good like, the kind of good where you’re full but still keep eating because it’s just that tasty. The kabobs were juicy, the lamb was on point, and don’t even get me started on the baklava😩👌“

“We ordered the Easter brunch catering deal that was posted on Facebook. It was a great selection of food with something for everyone. It fed 10 of us with leftovers. Very reasonably priced and delicious!!“

“We just had our first meal at Mirna’s and we will be back soon! Food and service were outstanding ‘“

“Back in the 90”s Mary & Hamdy were like family to me. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to work in such a great environment with two of my favorite people! The food is delicious and service is amazing Happy 30 year Anniversary! Brian and I are glad we were there to celebrate this milestone. Cheers to many more!!!!“

“Everything perfect food service“

“Let me start by saying I love the food at The Halal Guys so much that I ate there pretty much 4/4 nights a week for a year straight after work before trimming it back. I've never done that with any other restaurant. The gentleman I spoke to leaving the restaurant the other night said he drove 40 minutes to come enjoy the food. All of the food is very fresh. They are always cooking fresh chicken and beef. All the veggies are a great addition to the platter along with the fresh rice that is always being replenished. The hummus is very good and when you add the chili based hot sauce and mix it up, it's heaven. For those who can't handle the heat, there's their very popular "white sauce". King of Prussia is always very busy. Please do not let "Bobby Bobby" deter you from going to The Halal guys. He clearly doesn't understand the restaurant business......no crime. Look at his bowl. It has chicken and rice ONLY. Evidently he thinks since he is afraid of eating veggies that the rest of his bowl should be filled with extra meat. Sorry Bobby Bobby; that is not how any restaurant works. This place gives a ton of food. I rarely finish my small bowl and have never ordered a large one. In this business you could have the best product and location but take away top notch customer service and a highly dedicated GM/owner and get ready for your "Grand Closing". Caesar has been the GM at KOP for years now and I've never seen him have a bad day. He always has a smile on his face and treats all of his customers with the utmost respect. His customer service is exceptional. This is extremely rare. How do I know this? 35 years in the restaurant industry. Hail Caesar!!“
