19 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Cranston

“I’d like to give a shout out to a local businesses where I had an absolutely delicious meal. I was looking for something new & different in the Cranston area close to Garden City that wasn’t the same old monotonous fare that I’m used to. I stopped in for lunch on Thursday as I had an appointment on Reservoir Ave & again for dinner on Sunday after I picked up a cake at Antonio's Bakery. I’d like to start out by saying, I’m half Italian on my Dad’s side (Neapolitan, from the Avelino region, & Sicilian, specifically from Messina) & a quarter Armenian on my Mom’s side (ancient Armenia which is modern day Turkey)…so therefore I’m extremely fussy about my Italian, Armenian, Mediterranean, & Middle Eastern cuisine; my Grandma (Neapolitan) & Grandma (Armenian) were outstanding chef’s in their respective kitchens, & I was outrageously spoiled as a child & very rarely ate out, I had the best of the best~those skills were certainly not passed down nor inherited by me-scrambled eggs in the microwave anyone. With that being said… The owner (who is from Syria, so you know you’re getting an authentic product) & his team provided great customer service, very attentive & patient, knowledgeable about the food they’re serving & able to explain the flavor profile of each item. The restaurant is pretty well taken care of & clean. They encouraged me to try the shawarma, I’m glad I listened, I wasn’t disappointed…now I’m obsessed. I ordered the grape leaves, hummus, & chicken gyro. The grape leaves and the tzatziki were okay, I was expecting a tangy, lemony flavor with the grape leaves along with a more traditional look as well as flavor to the tzatziki, however the hummus & chicken gyro were very good. The hummus was creamy & the gyro was light, airy, & mild…it felt like I was eating healthy. The owner provided a free sample of their falafel…which I had at another establishment years ago & didn’t like…when I returned on Sunday I ordered that along with the chicken gyro, & the owner gave me a free paklava dessert-to my surprise I thoroughly enjoyed it as I’ve found others hit or miss & off putting. Needless to say, I had an amazing experience & I’ll definitely be a repeat customer for sure when I’m in town.“

“Very happy to discover the new Sonia’s Deli. My BYOBowl was fantastic. So much to choose from and very fresh. Shat hamov eh! I look forward to the reopening of the market for Armenian groceries. 🇺🇸🇦🇲“

“I’m disabled and housebound. My daughter just picked up a variety of your amazing food, all gluten free for me. I have to tell you every single bite was over the top delicious. The portions are huge. Best falafel I’ve ever tasted and I’m picky. I’m going to be enjoying this all weekend. I’m definitely going to be begging her to bring me more again, lol. I highly recommend your delicious food. Thank you for amazing product especially the gluten free.“

“Offers the best Mediterranean food on the East Bay. The dishes are fresh, flavorful, and authentically prepared, making it a standout spot. What truly enhances the experience is the incredibly family-friendly atmosphere. The owner’s warm hospitality made us feel right at home. His genuine care and attention to our family made the meal even more enjoyable. For anyone in the area, this restaurant is a must-visit for top-notch Mediterranean food and a welcoming environment. Highly recommended!“

“Place is a small hole in the wall gem on the east side. You would probably miss it if you were going down Thayer street if you weren't looking. Food quality especially the shawarma is totally awesome and is well worth it to drop in for lunch. Space is limited is only minor downside if your planning on eating in. Great for takeout.“

“This establishment deserves more than just good reviews. My colleague and I come here for lunch once a week and we are never disappointed. The food quality and the staff are always top notch, and the interior is always very clean. What also stands out at this location is the floor manager who is very involved with the front end of the store and has been extremely accommodating more than once. I cannot wait to get my pita wrap this week!“

“This is a fantastic find! The menu is expansive but delicious. There is something for everyone. The food is of the utmost high quality and the service was professional and polite! The wine is a must!“

“Fantastic food. End of story“

“Delish pizza and a wonderful ambiance. Great service as well!“

“Terrazza RI in Smithfield, RI has done it again! This time they teamed up with Ember To Ash Lounge for a fabulous evening featuring premium cigars from Oliva Cigar Co. and a decadent five-course dinner with wine pairings with a fabulous jazz band for entertainment. We kicked things off with a refreshing lobster & shrimp ceviche, followed by a savory filet crostini and crisp summer salad. Next came the star of the night—pillowy homemade ravioli—before finishing with an impressive mixed grill served in a truly generous portion! A huge thank you to Ariana, Shay, Megan, and the entire team for crafting such a memorable and delicious experience.“

“I just tried the food for the first time. I had a classic Greek pita (with chicken) and a steak skewer as a side order. The food was fresh and delicious. The staff was welcoming and friendly. The establishment itself was very clean. This place will definitely be my go-to for Greek food. It’s a great addition to the neighborhood.“

“Everything!!!! Great food, great service, very clean! Awesome place!“

“Joe Luca is an outstanding real estate agent. He recently helped the son of one of my friends purchase his first home, and the entire experience was smooth and stress-free. Joe was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping him find the right place.

What really stood out was that Joe got him into a great home and we closed within 30 days—an impressive accomplishment in this market, especially for a first-time buyer.

If you're looking for a realtor who knows the market, communicates well, and gets the job done, I highly recommend Joe Luca.“

“Always enjoy the freshest ingredients! Best falafel hands down. Diverse menu but I have my staples with chicken shwarma plates, gyro fakafel wraps, hummus and grape leaves. Loyal customer for years!“

“Amazing restaurant! Amazing Staff and amazing food!! I fully recommended it!!“

“My son and I enjoyed a wonderful birthday lunch at Fleur Providence on January 19 at 12:30 pm. The two servers were attentive and professional, making our experience exceptional. A big thank you for the thoughtful birthday dessert—it was a lovely touch. We can't wait to return!“

“A great spot!! We love the food and drink and the service is the best!!“
