12 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Knoxville

“I’ve been eating at this restaurant since my UT days(about 10 years ago! 😭🙂‍↕️😅) and it’s STILL delicious!!! Being from Queens, NYC, this is the only place in Tennessee I trust to make a Reuben that reminds me of home. The staff is so incredibly friendly and have remained that way since the 1st time I came in, 10 years ago! EVERYTIME you drive down Sutherland Ave, ask yourself “why haven’t I eaten here yet?!” Then just do it!! It’s worth it!!“

“Very good service, friendly n great chicken“

“I do recommend Cava and was only given the option to recommend or not recommend. BUT it would be helpful if they would post updated hours when closing early (which I have ran into on multiple occasions) to their website or social media platforms. There have also been occasions where they stopped online orders early and were out of ingredients when we went in store close to closing. But overall I do love having food from here. It is delicious and easy to pick up even until the 9 o’clock hour- usually.“

“stopped in for a quick snack while getting tires changed and oh man. I had a gyro with a baklava, first bite had me hooked. hands down some of the best flavor in blount county. The gyro had me stuffed, but that first bite of baklava 🤤 so light, and crispy the perfect dessert to compliment the flavor profile. going to make this a regular stop.“

“Cava has a great variety of items to select from. The restaurant is clean and the staff is very friendly. You can build your own bowl with fresh ingredients. However if you know what authentic falafel tastes like skip their falafel.“

“CAVA is a great option, especially for people with digestive sensitivities or lactose issues. I tried it twice and had no problems at all, which was a big plus for me. They offer many fresh and customizable options, making it easier to choose ingredients that work with your diet.

The restaurant was very clean, and the service was excellent. I ordered online, and my food was ready 5 minutes earlier than the expected pickup time. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. Overall, a very positive experience, and I would definitely recommend it.“

“Absolutely the best tasting food i have had in years! and the workers are very nice. and the place looks so clean.“

“So friends of our wanted to take me out for my birthday. This was a first for me. My wife and friends had eaten at Kefi before. Now I am more of a southern comfort food guy (meat, potatoes). My wife assured me that there would be something for me to eat. She said that there would be meat and cheese.

We started with a fried cheese appetizer that included toastettes (spanakopita). The serving dish was extremely hot. The cheese and toast was really good. The bulk of the dishes are small plate dishes best shared. There was a beef/steak dish with a soft tortilla like bread chicken, short ribs, shrimp. Plenty of mixed drinks available. The lighting is turned down and the conversation level was low enough to carry on a regular conversation. For an old country boy, the experience was very good.“

“The BEST chicken shawarma in Knoxville! The owner is always working and gives the best customer service imaginable. The place is SPOTLESS, the food is consistently excellent and the prices are totally reasonable.
We get take out sandwiches once a week because they are delicious, always ready when we pick up and the bread, OMG, the pita bread the sandwiches come in is to die for. Love this place!“
