13 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.“

“This place is phenomenal!! The food is absolutely delicious a and the staff are top notch. The customer service you experience here is second to none. This was my first time in today and I had no idea how it worked. Alexis was super helpful and explained everything, made excellent recommendations, and took wonderful care of us. It's rare that you get great food AND great service these. This will be one of my frequented places going forward. Highly recommend!!“

“Wonderful Greek tapas (is that cultural appropriation allowed?) that encompass a variety of tastes. Innovative takes on classic Greek favorites, with a definite eye toward well sized, shareable portions. Great service that's attentive without being intrusive (though we went on a Tuesday; I don't know what chaos a Friday or Saturday would entail) with thoughtful recommendations. Pistachio ice cream with the baklava is genius!“

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

“😅Outstanding food, reasonable prices and friendly atmosphere.“

“When Alibaba’sclosed, I was so happy to find Aladdin‘s serving the same Falafelrecipe. This has been a staple of my life for 13 years, love to catch it as much as as I can. Great food, great atmosphere and always good conversation.“

“The food is so tasty and I love that it is customizable! This place doesn’t disappoint. Highly recommend the falafel.“
