50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Ardmore

“Love this place. The food is AMAZING!! 🤩“

“We recently decided to grab CAVA on our way home, and the first CAVA we went to we did not have a good experience so we decided to just walk out and drive to the nearest CAVA which was 20 minutes away and when we arrive to the other location, which was this location, they were getting ready to close the store, but the employees were very welcoming and kind and took our order right away and even gave a sample pita chips to our kids to try just in case if they didn’t like it and we just decided to let them know how great they are doing and how wonderful we felt once we felt the CAVA hospitality. We just appreciate the fact that they made us feel appreciated and valued. I knew they was tired because it was close to closing time but they still shared a smile with us. Jeniah and Devin really blessed us. Praying for an abundance of favor and blessings over them and the establishment!“

“The healthiest and most delicious food! I buy my lunch there every day. Everything is always 100% fresh, packed with flavor/fresh herbs and beans and made from scratch. Tons of vegan options and the sweetest and most accommodating owners and staff!

Vegetarian options: Tons of great plant-based options!“

“delicious! we tried a little of everything.“

“Outstanding! We picked BKG based on the reviews and I must say they are right. The food and service is amazing.

We all chose to be adventurous and go with the specials recommended by our waiter Fathi. That gentleman exudes charisma and is the embodiment of good service. We loved everything we were served even though they were all exotic dishes, which can be a gamble.

FYI. There are no alcoholic drinks and you cannot BYOB. We were disappointed about that at first because we like to enjoy a couple of drinks with a nice meal but that was soon forgotten. We travel a good bit and have enjoyed nice meals in many countries. This one ranks high on our list. Bon Kif Grill is a do not miss.“

“I think I probably have had just about everything on your menu, and I loved everything. I also like that Stina is not pretentious.“

“We came across this place while we were in Philly last month,July. We were looking for a place to dine. It was our first time with Mediterranean cuisine. Positive ambience as soon as we walk in, our server ‘s name ELIF ( hope i remember it right)guided as through with menu selection and showed the best costumer service . I appreciated the complimentary bread and the hummus while waiting for the entree.I love the taste of it as freshly baked from the oven. Food portions are just right. The price is also decent. We concluded with a Turkey tea…it amazingly taste good. Will definitely visit this place again….to Elif,thank you very much.“

“Amazing food!! Been here multiple times. Never disappoints.“

Dietary restrictions: The kitchen was really nice about accommodating my dairy allergy!“

“Everything was delicious! Lots of vegan options including the baklava!“

“The food was wonderful as the service was fast. I couldn’t believe the check. Extremely reasonable for all you get. I’d definitely recommend Kanella to anyone“

“can't wait to go back hard to describe.. it was unique.. everything we ordered was so elevated.. 5 star service.. best dirty martini I ever had .. this restaurant is a winner.. get the cheese plate dessert“

“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!“

“Certainly! Here’s a polished and more detailed version of your review:

I had an outstanding experience at a meticulously clean CAVA location. The food was exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. What truly stood out, though, was the exceptional service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and pleasant visit, with special recognition for the manager on duty, Paul.

Paul demonstrated remarkable professionalism, attentiveness, and a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. Whether it was overseeing operations or interacting with guests, his efforts to create a welcoming atmosphere did not go unnoticed. It’s refreshing to visit a place where both the quality of the food and the level of service are held to such high standards.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great meal with an equally excellent dining experience!

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly!“

“Thank you to all tonight! We were celebrating the impending birth of our grandson with his other grandfather! Our children are 1st time parents!! Christina was perfection, knowledge and sweetness all at once! Everyone treated us great! Thank you Christine for all your help! Looking forward to returning w/ the new Mommy & Daddy! Thank you all again. 3 excited grandparents!“

“Flavorful, delicious, enough food for two people, and healthy. Cash only, $20. No substitutions, no menu, no cutlery, no plastic bags, no water, no napkins, long wait in line, and just one food item to choose from--whatever he's cooking that day. It's the most amazing mediterranean street food you'll have in Philly.“

“Went there before a show at Keswick-
Friendly staff and professional
Food came pretty quick and all were tasty. We had the fish of the day, the tuna and the cotletta- all were delish- we also tried the Albanian desert with the pistachio/filo cheesecake- both were yum- the cheesecake isn’t like American cheesecakes, I liked it!
The place is clean.
It’s also BYOB- liquor store is right around the corner“

“I have always had a great experience at Barbuzzo over the multiple years I have gone. The staff is welcoming and friendly and most importantly the food is absolutely phenomenal from starters to desserts. They offer smaller plates which are great to share to get a taste of everything!“

“Being Armenian my expectations were high. Apricot Stone far exceeded what I was expecting. Service (Ani) was excellent and all of the help was very friendly. I highly recommend it.“

“delightful service and delicious flavors. I will definitely be back“

“Very nice Authentic Moroccan food and the owners are very nice �“

“Waiter was great....humus ...great variety and absolutely delicious....I had the lamb dish and it was good...pulled lamb....my niece had chicken and my sister said it was quite succulent.Dhe had a fish dish that she ate completely and like. Price was great we had a flourless chocolate cake that we all shared and did not finish. It was quite rich. Good experience..we got there right after opening but it filled up quickly. It's worth a try.

Vegetarian options: Not a wide variety for dinner...only pasta“

“Very authentic Yeeroh (Pork) drove over 1hr from south Jersey and it was worth the trip !“

“The food was simply delicious. We had seen how well-reviewed this restaurant was and so we had high expectations coming here, yet we were still completely blown away by the quality of the food.

The shawarma had a perfectly flaky crust and the chicken was perfectly cooked.

The hospitality was also great. You can believe the hype. This place is a gem of Philadelphia.“

“Aria’s is fantastic, every item I’ve gotten from their menu has been full of flavor and so delicious! My favorites are the chicken kebab, lamb gyro, hummus, babaghanoush, baklava, and cucumber salad. I try to get something new as an entree each time I visit. The service is wonderful and everyone who run the restaurant are so kind and generous, thank you so much ???!

Parking: There is plenty metered parking on the street and in a parking lot directly across the street that is free at certain times.“

“The food was excellent, the service was excellent and Michael’s recommendation was perfect!“

“I ordered from UberEats and the driver delivered me the wrong order. I called her immediately because I also gave her cash for a tip. She answered and said that she would go back to pick it up. (I knew wasn’t going back.)

I finally called the restaurant and the manager told me that would deliver my food. (Reminder, I live in the Olney section of the city.)

I just would like to thank Al Sham for going over and beyond delivering my food. Alhamdulillah!“

“Great atmosphere, friendly service and tasty food.“

“Delicious mix of Mediterranean and American food! The food is SO good! We’ve been here several times for good and drinks .“

“omg one of our Doctors treated us to lunch today ..so so good ..I will now go on my own ..food was delicious“

“Best most authentic shawerma in the entire northeast. Must try!“

“Recently visited Al Dar, the ambience is very good reminds me of old middle eastern architecture. The food was amazing, the moutabbel dip, which is a blend of tahini and eggplant was just the right amount of creamy and smoky. The kebabs were tender and had amazing flavor. Will come again“

“My husband picked up 5 quarter j*** chicken with two sides today. The food smelled amazing when he walked in so I knew it was on when we broke our fast. And it was! Absolutely delicious!! Each and every container of food was so good! It tasted homemade and fresh. I told my husband I can’t wait to try the oxtail. I’m already thinking about the next order! Yummy“

“Friendly, clean, and delicious. I’m not a picky person, so when I saw that they finally opened an Halal spot in Franklin Mills mall, I was hype. We went here before the movies and the girls were so attentive and nice. Highly recommended. Will come back and it’s my first time!“

“Zaffron Grill is one the best restaurants at the Shops at Liberty Place. I love their food, especially the Steak Kabob platter,“

“Service with a smile however we ordered around 5pm when business was slow. Good for getting our order quickly but bad for the food (chicken on shawarma seemed dried out like there all day) Tabouli and veggies were good. Chicken and French fries were kinda dried out
I gave 4 stars to be nice but was actually around 3“

“I was missing my partner, who is Turkish and lives in Turkey. So I went to Ramiz to reminisce of my times in Turkey with her. I arrived pretty early on a Saturday evening, so the restaurant had few people. I splurged on the Mixed Grill entree. Service was spectacular and the food was really good! (I can’t really publicly say better than my Turkish Partner’s cooking. ?)“

“We have been searching for a local Mediterranean place and let me tell you, we have FOUND it! We ordered a lot to really get a feel for it: The mini sampler (comes with falafel, hummus, baba ghanoush, and dolmas) Mixed kebabs (chicken, kafta, lamb) Chicken shawarma Baklava Genuinely nothing was bad. The mixed kebabs were grilled to perfection, all entrees come with delicious yellow rice, a slice of pita with hummus on it, and a salad. And the mini sampler is the best! You get a little bit of everything. All tasty. Whether you like eating everything separately, or mixing it all together, I don’t think you can go wrong with anything here. I also got baklava and it sometimes isn’t my favorite because some places put extra honey, but I’m not kidding when this was the BEST baklava I’ve ever had. And it was my fiancé’s first time trying baklava and he mentioned it might now be a top 10 dessert for him! The owner and workers are so kind too! We will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“Loved our brunch today. We stumbled on this place while visiting Philly. Was intrigued by all the Zagat stickers and went inside. Sampled the weekend brunch menu, Moroccan eggs, crab benedict, French toast and the spinach quiche. All dishes were delicious. But, since I had never had Moroccan eggs before, was very excited about trying that and so enjoyed the spice combo. Also really enjoyed the Moroccan tea. Lovely neighborhood bistro. Fabulous service and experience. Highly recommend.“

“Top of the line cuisine!!“

“My husband and I loved the food. He has some food intolerances, but could eat everything they. They knew their ingredients well, so he didn't need to be concerned. It's going to be our go-to restaurant when we're in that area.“

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

“Likely the best meal I’ve ever eaten“

“the Food is to die for! specials are awesome. Wait staff excellent and nice. We are frequent there!“

“Service is great, location is very nice, but their portion sizes seem small. I've ordered pick up at least 5 times now, the first time I felt pretty blown away by the portion and then it's been small since then. The bowls are not filled up all the way, I wouldn't even mind mostly rice and lettuce. Nothing like the images they have of their bowls online. The wraps could be more packed, and the sauces spread out better throughout. Otherwise, the food is all tasty and simple. I'll continue ordering from them since they're the closest option to me, but hope they are able to up their portion game soon. Maybe it's also just their online order portion sizes.“

“Excellent, kind, authentic Greek dining experience. The food was spectacular and very flavorful, and everyone was in good spirits. Great price for such delicious food“

“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“
