33 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Wayne

“Absolutely the best kabab in Philadelphia and South Jersey area! Everything is halal. High quality rice and meats. They also have a lot of middle eastern and Persian spices and items for sale. We tried mixed kababs are ground beef, chicken pieces, and lamb pieces. They all tasted authentic and similar to what you get in Iran.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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 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!“

“Food was great. Definitely overpriced and staff lacked social/people skills.“

“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 !“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Exceptional food and environment. The owner is so amazing…“

“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,“

“Welcoming and friendly...nice people. Had the Athens Bowl and loved the spicey feta, great touch. Will be back soon!“

“From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food is outstanding—everything from the authentic Neapolitan-style pizza, with its perfectly charred crust and rich, flavorful sauce, to the homemade pasta and classic Italian dishes was absolutely delicious. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients, and the flavors speak for themselves. But what really made our night special was the amazing service at the bar, thanks to Nick and Jack. These two are hands-down some of the best bartenders in Newtown Square! Not only are they knowledgeable about cocktails, wine, and beer selections, but they also make every guest feel like a regular. Their energy, professionalism, and attention to detail set them apart. Whether you’re looking for the perfect craft cocktail or just great conversation, Nick and Jack make the bar experience at Carmine’s unforgettable. If you’re in the Newtown Square area and looking for delicious Italian food, a great bar, and top-tier service, Carmine’s is the place to go. We can’t wait to come back!“

“delicious! we tried a little of everything.“

“Excellent food! Highly recommended.“

“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!“

“Whenever we are at kop mall,mezeh is our first choice to eat.Being vegetarian i enjoy there food,lots of veggies with falafel.Today for me the bowl was too dry to eat.We end up throwing half bowl.I am not sure if i can go back and ask for extra sauce.“

“The best sujukh in USA. And very delicious lahmajun which is one of two productions available on the East coast, for the residents of NJ and NY.
The life is becoming expensive, the prices are going up everywhere. So the box of dozen became 10. That's ok, that's understandable.
But ... don't downsize and don't skimp on the meat.“

“Warm and elegant atmosphere, gracious waitstaff, excellent, delicious and extensive menu, and did I mention BYOB? I will definitely return!“

“Great food � great service � I Love this place It has a great atmosphere I highly recommend it �“

“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!“

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

“The service was wonderful. The food was incredible and the atmosphere was pretty authentic. We were in town for a doctors appointment we live in Delaware so this was long drive away and totally worth the drive to go back. The food was fantastic.“

“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!!“

“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!!“

“very good food would come back. I got the chicken over rice and it was delicious with the salad. It was so good and The chef makes the sauce on top homemade and it is delicious Recommend going definitely coming back.

Kid-friendliness: This place was amazing. The food was delicious. Good prices definitely would recommend and would come back.“
