50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Tysons

“I came here yesterday and had a wonderful experience. Fatma, in particular, provided outstanding service! She was kind, attentive, and very friendly. It’s such a pleasure to be served by someone so professional and warm. I can’t wait to come back again!“

“I would have liked to take a picture of the food but I ate it all 😅 staff are quiet ,friendly and very respectful. The food comes out decently fast and seeing the fresh pita spitting steam like a choo choo train was fun. All in all i think this place is a hidden gym and definitely deserves some love“

“We love Mezeh restaurants, so when visiting Tysons for the day we stopped into this one. It’s actually connected to the mall via Bloomingdale’s.

Service was great, helpful, and friendly. The selection was excellent and all items were fresh and appealing looking. Their chicken kabob was really nicely done and tender! That shuug sauce was spicy, but flavorful!

Highly recommend stopping in for good, healthy options!“

“I was a bit unsure of what to order, but they graciously offered a sample. The food was delicious, even better than the restaurant next door, which was called California something. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and they even let me customize my gyro. All of his recommendations were spot on! It’s a great place if you’re looking for a quick, easy, and affordable meal.“

“Absolutely delightful food, people, and atmosphere. My first visit was an urgent stop—I stopped in with a travel weary, overly hungry child who was quickly sated with delicious pastries. The gentleman behind the counter handled the situation so well. He turned our day around and wouldn’t even take payment for our food. I go back now as much as I’m in the area, and it’s consistently wonderful. The food is delicious. Despite being attached to the busy mall, it’s always clean and accommodating. The staff is friendly and has a welcoming attitude that makes it feel like a standalone restaurant where you can sit and linger a bit. Thank you for your kindness. I look forward to many future visits. 🙏🏻“

“Just an incredible restaurant - amazing food out of this world our server was simply impressive with one month on the job - I can't say enough good things about him. I will always be back !!!“

“In recent years there seems to be a proliferation of small-plate Mediterranean restaurants. But Yayla remains as one of the best, reasonably priced originals in northern Virginia. There is a pleasing range of mezzes, salads, entrees hot and cold, flat breads, spreads, etc . I had a Yayla mule, 3 spreads, lemony rice soup and superb shrimp. Friends chose a range of other dishes. I can guarantee whatever you choose, you won’t be disappointed. Everything is flavorful, fresh and beautifully presented. Wait staff and servers are friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and not obtrusive. Don’t miss the nice selection of creative cocktails, wine variety and desserts. Continued success and best wishes for this popular bistro!“

“Dalia's Falafel catered my husband's big bash birthday party last weekend. It was the best catering experience we have ever had, and I want everyone within a 100 mile radius of downtown Bethesda to know about this fantastic establishment located at 7750 Old Georgetown Rd, Bethesda, 20814. Ben, Cody and Kevin provided more than generous portions of outstanding food as well as practical support and guidance on preparing, presenting, serving, and storing their delicious trays of salads, sauces and, of course, falafels. They made the entire experience simple and easy. The value of the service we received was far greater than the fee that we paid -- truly! Please don't hesitate to consider Dalia's Falfel, a unique party option, for your next celebration“

“Exceptional Service. Culinary Excellence. Our dining experience at JOON was extraordinary, made even better by the exceptional service from our server, Yacine. His thoughtful recommendations, warm demeanor, and perfectly timed attentiveness made for an unforgettable evening. Even as the restaurant got busier, Yacine maintained his focus on us— a warm and welcoming touch that elevated the entire experience. Thank you! As fans of Persian cuisine and frequent shoppers at Yekta Market in Rockville— having recently tried our hand at making Persian dishes like Fesenjan at home— coupled with all of the culinary accolades— we had high expectations for JOON. It not only met but exceeded them. Mast-o Musir, yogurt dish with Persian dried shallot and rose petal, was exceptional— more elevated and nuanced than any we’ve had. The mushroom Khoresht stew with white truffle was another highlight, offering perfectly balanced flavors something hard to do with white truffles and a satisfying richness, complemented by the perfectly crunchy Tahdig, iconic golden rice crust. The braised lamb shoulder which Yacine suggested was the undeniable highlight of the meal I which each dish was excellent. Tender and flavorful, it was paired beautifully with texture. It’s a signature dish that rivals the best we’ve ever had, bringing to mind the legendary Bo Ssam pork shoulder from David Chang’s Momofuku— bold, unforgettable, and expertly prepared. The Gormeh Sabzi, short rib stew with its delicious sour depth, was excellent but couldn’t quite match the lamb’s showstopping brilliance. Two very minor points. While the food and service are exceptional, the main dining room lighting would benefit from dimming. A water filtration water system could make a big difference as well. JOON has firmly secured its place as a must-visit dining destination for us. We can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu.“

“After a hard day of work, I went to treat myself to eating Cava - Lee Hwy, I like it because the food is fresh and delicious. When I arrived, I was delighted to see the smiling and friendly staff, but I especially want to thank Diosesis for always giving all customers such a pleasant, smiling and very respectful welcome. Thank you very much for the excellent work you do.“

“The gentleman at the counter had wonderful customer service. We paid for our food even brought it to the table, which was very nice. It felt like fine dining, he gave us a bit of conversation and seem like such a pleasant gentlemen. I enjoyed the food. It was amazing. I eat every drop and the baklava ice cream with everything took a friend for the first time. My friend said he enjoyed it, and we will definitely be back again. I recommend this place highly if you love Greek food and gyros.“

“Amazing tasty dishes and friendly service. My family loves the Old Gtown Wrap!“

“Celebrated a birthday dinner here & the food & service were excellent. The lamb & Chilean sea bass were well worth their price. The presentation was beautiful. Bottles of wine are available for a decent upcharge from store pricing. The chocolate mousse was incredible.

Shout-out to Miriam for her excellent service & for hyping up our dinner choices!“

“Excellent service, terrific food!“

“Delicious food. We wanted a bite after a hike in the Great Falls area and this sounded like a good place to try. There was plenty of free parking and we were seated immediately upon going in. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, with a very relaxed atmosphere. Everything on the menu looked so good so we started off with some appetizers, both of which were delicious. I loved the Shirazi salad, which was delicious and refreshing. The kashk e bademjoon had a great flavor profile and went wonderfully with the pita bread. For my meal I had the chicken shawarma, which was probably one of the best I’ve had. The chicken was so moist and flavorful, with just a hint of cardamom. My wife had the apple orchard salad, and son the gyro Greek salad. This place is a must-try.“

“Please bring back the family meal!!!“

“Very tasty food specially Chicken over Rice“

“Fresh natural decor, open layout and engaging music. The small pita included perfectly spiced protein and fresh veggies with a wide array of veggy sauces and dressings. Great taste and value.“

“I go to this Cava at Bethesda Row fairly often and the service, primarily from the FANTASTIC manager Manuel is what truly keeps me coming back. Thank you to the phenomenal staff of Cava Bethesda Row!“

“Absolutely delicious - the best falafels I’ve had in a long time and my family said the lamb/beef combo was very flavorful. The ingredients were fresh and the service was very attentive. And I’m still dreaming of the chocolate peanut butter cupcake I had - so good!“

“Hi! I went to Cava in Burke today ! The food was delicious! And fresh! Also, the staff members were very friendly and respectful.

“CAVA Ballston has quickly become one of my go-to spots—not just for the delicious and healthy food, but for the amazing service as well! Being on a keto diet, I truly appreciate the variety of fresh, nutritious options that perfectly align with my lifestyle.

Every visit is a great experience thanks to the friendly and welcoming staff. Big shoutout to Rosa, Gustavo, and Angie—they’re always smiling, courteous, and go above and beyond to make sure my meal is just the way I like it. Service is quick, and the team makes me feel like a valued guest every single time.

The location is clean and inviting, from the spotless restrooms to the well-kept tables. And on a hot day, nothing beats the refreshing selection at their fountain drink station—so satisfying!

If you’re looking for great food, friendly faces, and a clean, safe spot to dine—CAVA Ballston is it. Highly recommended!“

“We had a wonderful breakfast this morning! The Beirut Breakfast, the Rose Water Latte, and Shaksura were all fabulous and the staff was lovely, friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!“

“I have gone twice and both times have been amazing. There is a good variety of flavorful food to choose from. I love the chicken kabobs. They are so good and juicy. But my favorite is the rice. I'm not familiar with all the names but every type I've tried has been good. On top of the great food is the friendly and welcoming staff. This is some of the best kabob I've had in the area. And to have a buffet lunch is a dream come true.“

“I’ve visited several locations, and today I stopped in for dinner with friends while working in the area. The service we received was outstanding—truly top-notch. I believe the team members assisting us were Bellinda and Guisela, and they were both exceptional. I’ll definitely be returning the next time I’m in the area.“

“We recently hosted a dinner and chose the stuffed lamb from Beirute Butcher. Not a single guest left without praising it and thanking me for this choice. The lamb was absolutely exceptional, tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented.

Mr. Ahmad, the owner, along with his family and team, deserve all the credit. They are decent, professional, and very respectful, making every interaction a pleasure. This is not my first time as a customer, and it certainly will not be my last. For years, I have been ordering from Beirute, whether it is small meals, fresh meat. frozen pastries, or specialty items,and every time the quality is outstanding. For anyone craving authentic flavors that bring comfort and remind us of home, Beirute Butcher never disappoints. Their commitment to quality and customer care is truly remarkable. Respect ✊🏼“

“they have more add ons. great strawberry citrus.“

“The quality of ingredients is consistently high, and the variety of options ensures there's something for everyone. What truly sets this place apart is the exceptional service.

“Absolutely my favorite lunch spot in Fairfax. I’ve been eating here for 5 years now and the place is like home.. friendly and loving staff with the Absolute most delicious kabobs (IMO).. The only downside here is I live in faqr co.“

“Cava is a great alternative to fast food when you need food on the run. It’s also a great place for picky eaters to get their food exactly how they want it and gradually expand their food choices. My daughter started with white rice and meat. Next visit added romaine lettuce. Next visit chopped tomatoes. Next visit added greek dressing on the side, etc, etc.

Dietary restrictions: You can make your meal gluten and dairy free. They can direct you on the ingredients.“

“Reasonably priced drinks and karaoke was fun!“

The goat meat and other tibs(steak) is amazing. I recommend you to try it.

“Corsica in Reston never disappoints. The atmosphere is warm and inviting — low lighting, a wall of books, and a rustic feel. The staff is friendly and personable, and the food is consistently outstanding.

Shoutout to Antonio, the bartender. His drinks are always on point, food recommendations are spot on, and he’ll keep you up to date with anything new on the menu and at the restaurant. He’s always bringing good vibes to the bar and is always up for a joke. Definitely recommend you see him and try a drink when you visit!

Overall, Corsica is a must-visit for anyone looking for amazing food, great cocktails, and awesome service.“

“Great service, super fresh and tasty - I'm becoming addicted!“

“Wow! What a fantastic place! I didn't expect much coming in for a business meeting, but both the atmosphere and food was just amazing!
Interior design is so well done - all the details are impressive, as well as a general look and feel.
And food... mmm.. food was 10 out of 10. 2 light dishes, dessert, tea and cocktail - everything was simply delicious! All the tastes in each dish are perfectly combined!
Service was average, but the other two components compensated fully for it.
I strongly recommend and I will definitely come back soon!“

“Awesome Place and Environment!! Great Staff, Service and Really Good Food 🔥 Highly Recommend 🥵💰“

“Delicious food! We will be back!“

“1st time and will be back!“

“Positively DELICIOUS WITH ASTOUNDING QUALITY OF BOTH SERVICE AND CUISINE! I love this place, and didn't know about it for my 50 years in Rockville.. I had the BIG kabob platter, which I shared with Mike, my friend and LARGE ENOUGH FOR TWO; the chicken and lamb were both succulent and expertly seasoned, just "right." I couldn't giver more than 5 stars, but would've given seven.“

“Great food, great service, very clean. I found my new favorite place in Reston.“

“Best bang for your buck health food in Ballston. More customizable options and toppings than sweet green or chopped. A small bowl is enough food for lunch, large bowl can be split in two if you have a regular appetite.

The staff and management are also friendly and efficient, great place overall“

“Love this place!! Food is always delicious and fresh .“

“I spoke with a man named Taha to order a variety of Persian kebab, etc. for a Surprise Birthday Party and was very satisfied, as well as the 30 guests who attended and (most being Persian) on the quality of the food. The kebabs were tender, the rice was good quality and the extra sides very plentiful. I would highly recommend this for a large gathering because the price was very reasonable and service very customer friendly, especially ordering from Taha. Kudo's to him and all his help in making this special birthday even more special and worry free for me.“

“GREAT food, and some of the friendliest people in Bethesda! We’ll be frequent fliers...for sure.“

“Food was delicious and service is top notch.“

“Excellent food. First time there. The two girls working were super nice and were very knowledgeable in what some of the items were and gave solid recommendations Thank you!“
