50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Bryn Mawr

“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.

“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!“

“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!!“

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

“Love it, Love it, Love it. Everything on the menu is delicious and healthy. The staff is amazing. Friendly and fast. You can not go wrong!!“

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

“The first time I had Cava was 2 weeks ago and the steak was great. Today the steak was nothing but gristle and not edible. I had to throw it away because I couldn't chew it. The steak had no seasoning. It was horrible. I wasted my money. I drove 2 hours because we don't have one in our town. Plus the young man making my Steak and Feta Pita was incredibly rude. Definitely won't be back.“

“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.“

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

“Food was fantastic and service was great. I forgot to take a picture of the food because I started eating it too quick before I realized I wanted the photograph for this post. But I will definitely be returning. It will photograph my next venture there. I had the beef and chicken combo. Best on earth“

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

“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!“

“Great atmosphere, friendly service and tasty food.“

“I have never! given anyone a 5 start review but I have to sayyy this is the best vegan shawarma I have ever had in my life! Omg the falafel was crunchy and that isn’t easy to come by the hummus the cucumbers cabbage everything blended so well together was so flavorful I am in absolute love and will be returning“

“We've lived in the neighborhood for 4 years and have not tried this gem until last week, what a shame! I did not expect the unique design, nice service, and delicious food. I had the moussaka, my wife had the lamb chops, and our young kids split the chicken kebab with rice. Also, the bar looks fun to have a drink at. Will definitely be back.“

“Janiyah munirah briyonna all were fantastic! It was first time getting cava and they were very helpful and friendly. Even gave me some great dip recommendations that were really good! Definitely coming back here again. Such hospitality from the rockstar staff!“

“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!“

“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“

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

“a very authentic delicious food,and a great generous team,I highly recommend it“

“We were very excited to try yet another of the Shulson Collective. Entering the space only made us more so, as it is spectacular. Execution was not up to the standards we are used to from this group. Does it really take 20 minutes to deliver a diet coke? The Mezzes and apps were very good (particularly like the beet spread). The kebabs were not. Lamb was excellent. Chicken was good, salmon was undercooked. We will, however try again. I will chalk the service up to newness and maybe the specific server.“

“Great food, the inside is pretty cramped and not super fancy but it's okay if you're looking for a quick but great tasting food.

Lamb platter - great, would eat again. Their eggplant is super creamy and delicious.“

“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.“

“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,“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I have been to this restaurant 4 or 5 times now and it is always a fantastic experience. The food is always perfect and the staff is incredible. I will always come back.“

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

“Absolutely the best I have had in the area. In addition the staff is so professional and friendly. We asked about an off menu item and without hesitation they made it for us.“

“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???“

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

“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“

“This is not the first time I wat at Mezeh in the past years. I ordered a salad bowl with lamb and grains, as always, everything tastes extremely fresh, well cooked with details, nothing tastes artificial or oily even their fountain juices taste very fresh. For such a price, it’s so worth it to have such a healthy meal :)“

“Ordered the Adana Kebab, three appetizer mix, and the sigara boregi (cheese filled pastry) and loved everything! The Carrot dip was amazing. We will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. The little market has a great selection of spices and other Turkish staples!“

“delicious! we tried a little of everything.“

“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!“

“Just had a great experience here! Best customer service I’ve experienced in a long time. Was pressed for time and had entire pizza ready in 5 minutes and it was delicious. Highly recommend.“

“Everyone should come and try Mediterranean foods!! Everything is delicious, fresh, and made with love! Pick-up is easy and the people are wonderful! They have been in business for over 30 years! Thank you for bringing this masterpiece to PA!“

“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!“

“Great value. I had the chicken on rice w/ salad & hot sauce. Couldn't try the white sauce due to a milk allergy. The chicken, rice and salad were fresh. Platter came with a canned soda for $8. Plenty of drinks to choose from. Def would return.“

“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!!“

“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😩👌“

“First time at the Ale House and we were really happy we went! Great bartenders/waitstaff, delicious portions of Fish & Chips and Roast Beef Sandwich w/ skinny fries, sadly we didn't save room for dessert. Definitely a sports bar vibe w/ 8 big screen TVs in the bar area. Did not get a look at the dining room but it seems to be a good size.
Will absolutely be back!“

“Super tasty super healthy option and the best part is they make it however you want and its fresh everyday!“

“Kabab Cafe in Wayne is an awesome spot for Middle Eastern food, and they’ve got plenty of veggie options too. If you’re in the mood for something sweet after your meal, their desserts like baklava, chocolate nut rolls, and Turkish delight definitely hit the spot. The staff is friendly, service is quick, and everything always tastes fresh. Great place for a relaxed meal or takeout. Check them out when in the area.“

“Stopped by to pick up dinner from this spot. The service is absolutely wonderful
The food was delicious. The young lady Tiffany the counter was very friendly and professional. The manager always greets everyone coming into this restaurant. I would recommend this spot to all my first responder friends.“
