50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Ardmore

“Great experience going into the store! I ordered door dash waited a hour and food never left the store. I gave up and drove there and was greeted by Najeb. I was so angry when I arrived and he completely changed my experience. Since my food was sitting out he offered to make everything fresh. Cause of him I’ll be a regular. The lamb meatballs are delicious.“

“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.“

“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.“

“As a travel agent, food is important to me. I not only book for my clients, but I also make restaurant recommendations and WOW!!!!!! This place is it 😍😍😍 I took many photos last night of the food, the atmosphere felt as though I was not in Philadelphia, but far away on a perfect vacation dining at an amazing restaurant. I'm going to post my photos on my business page, people, if you want Greek food, THIS IS YOUR PLACE ☺️ Thank you for a wonderful hospitality and an amazing time my fiance and I will never forget.“

“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.“

“Not kidding. Our table of 4 ordered nearly everything in the menu. Each bite was delicious, balanced, nuanced, worldly, fresh, and inventive. We ordered a second dish of the carrots, and also the cukes. Dessert was outstanding. Interesting wines, including a chilled Croatian wine that paired well with every dish. Definitely returning. Soon! ❤️“

“It’s very tasty there, we always order from them when going to center city, definitely recommend!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Honestly I thought this place might be overhyped but it was not. Our dish was pears, chicken, lo mein, peppers, and grapefruit and it was one of the best things I’ve ever had from a food cart (even some nice restaurants). No notes, will go back every chance we get.“

“My first time here and WOW!!! Jenny is amazing! Her positive attitude is contagious, by far the best customer service I have ever received at a food establishment. Jenny is someone that genuinely loves their job and making sure every customer has a awesome time at cava. Food is also delicious!“

“Very nice and clean cafe. Fantastic food and great price. Highly recommend“

“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 had a great experience at the Cava Germantown location! The food was fresh and flavorful as always, but I have to give a special shoutout to Artese. His energy, attention to detail, and generous servings really stood out. You can tell he takes pride in making sure people leave satisfied. Definitely made my visit feel more personal and worth it. Appreciate you, Artese!“

“I hadn't been to Barbuzzo in about 8 years. We were headed to a show at The Met, so I made reservations for dinner. The staff, the food, the drinks, and the service were all on point. We'll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“What a hidden gem! We had the BEST dinner sitting on the rooftop tonight. The chicken za’tar & greek salmon were delicious; also highly recommend the Mediterranean Duo. Our waiter Mikel was so friendly, attentive and accommodating. All around a great experience.“

“I grew up on homemade Middle Eastern food made daily by my parents, so I’m very picky when it comes to authenticity. I’ve tried a few places that just didn’t hit the mark—but AL SHAM in Chalfont is a straight 10/10!! They serve real Arabic bread (pita)—not tortillas disguised as pita like you find at other places—and their homemade Lebanese toum (garlic aioli) is the real deal. One bite of their falafel wrap instantly transported me to a boardwalk in Lebanon, overlooking the Mediterranean—complete with fresh bread, Lebanese pickles, and those perfect pickled turnips. The meat is 100% Halal and you can taste the quality. Flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care. **This is the kind of spot you want to support. We’ll be back again and again—do yourself a favor and try them ASAP**“

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

“Great atmosphere, friendly service and tasty food.“

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

“This might be the best date spot in the Philadelphia suburbs. The food is absolutely delicious … my wife and I feel like we are eating in the Mediterranean.

The menu is a little overwhelming but the arctic char, salmon, and branzino are absolutely incredible and the mezze appetizers are always so fresh and tasty.

Service could be a little faster, but hard to complain! Love this place!“

“When Dear Daphni first opened it used to be my favorite happy hour spot in Philly. I appreciated the emphasis on the middle eastern tradition of sharing food at the table. Everything is delicious and plentiful. I liked having an alternative to Laser Wolf that was not supporting Michael Solomonov, as I don’t approve of his business practices or values. It was nice to be able to have a good value drink and vegetarian meal.
This last visit we were informed that they now charge a la carte for everything with no refills. What was once the best deal in Philly now is the same as you’ll find at any overpriced restaurant. While the food is still amazing, it doesn’t stand out from the crowd now that they’ve strayed from those values. I understand the rising prices of food everywhere. But to go from free unlimited mezze, rice, and dessert with any entree right to an extra $36 with no refills was simply absurd. I think this could have been done in a way that at least eases you into price increases. Maybe have fewer mezze, even one mezze special. Maybe include free refills. Maybe charge a la carte per mezze. This change is going to leave many customers feeling blindsided and it breaks trust with regulars like me. I would still recommend the delicious food here, but it’s no longer a top restaurant in Philly for me. I am sad because I used to recommend this spot to everyone, now I am more hesitant. (As a side note they also got rid of my favorite mezze, the pistachio dip. double whammy…)
That being said, almost everything I have tried is so good. The hummus, muhammara, salmon kebab, eggplant, broccoli, ice cream, and all drinks are spectacular. The greek salad and filo saganaki left me less than impressed. I just think they need more vegetarian options for entrees now that you have to pay for the mezze.
Literally grieving this place! It was good while it lasted :(“

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

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

“Everyone loved every bite! One of my favorite brunch places in and around the city. Awesome food, and attentive service! #lEtsreAlesTate“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Good, fairly priced Israeli food place. The owner is very nice and shared the correct pronunciation of sabich to me once. The place is good for a quick meal and outing with fellow grad students bc they can take care of different diet preferences. I have taken almost all my friends here.
The hummus is super creamy and really good. The pita is the best around. My boyfriend is Israeli and this is one of the few places he approves of in both phl and bos.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Had lunch there after not being in area for several years. owner and server were very friendly, interactive re their menu and the style of the cuisine. Nice people. The food was tasty, attractive,“

“The flavor is on point!! No denying that. But, if you want a better value for your $, then I'd recommend PITA CHIP... ESPECIALLY FOR THE LAMB!! Naya's lamp is a beef & lamb meatball, however Pita Chip you get actual cubes of Lamb. In a wrap, you also can get a variety of hummas and rice. Pita's wraps are bigger (more meat and as much toppings as you'd like. NAYA is great value for Bowls and the are heavy handed with Chicken portions“

“Amazing place, delicious food, fun atmosphere and reasonable prices“

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

“As wonderful as I remember. A true cc gem. Get the tiramisu“

“WOW. I don't know what I just ate because it feels like the first time that I've eaten actual food. How is this place so good? Literally the food tastes like they just harvested all of it immediately before prepping. Literally blown away. This will probably be my #1 food place in Philly for years with zero close competition. I am seriously in awe of how good my first meal there just was. To the owners, please don't change, it's incredible. If you keep your prices this low too I'll probably eat there like 5+ times a week, no joke. Incredible. Bravo. Seriously.“

“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“

“one of my favorite restaurants in Philadelphia and beyond. delicious and creative dishes, kind and present service, a thoughtful and complex wine list and beverage program in a very unique space overlooking south philly.

i’ve been here numerous times with different parties and i’ve always had a great experience. it’s also one of the few restaurants I can consistently get in with a last-minute reservation or walk-in while still feeling the place is lively and bumping every time I’m there. it’s a delicate balance and they nail it consistently. chef Michael’s food is excellent, bev director Michael has put together an awesome program and chef Ervis is such a handsome and gentle man who also happens to make great pastas. what a combo.

I love Irwin’s.“

“This place is a treasure!! I have food allergies, so I ordered the shawarma with the grilled vegetables— double veggie, no rice or salad. It was SOOOO good, and so much food. The meat was tender, veggie tasty and not overcooked. And the servers were so gracious and helpful. The meal would work for keto or high protein diets, or with rice for celiac.“

“Very great authentic Tunisian food.“
