41 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Tysons

“Walking around the food court, one of the workers offered a sample of some of the chicken shawarma. It was good so I ordered a chicken shawarma wrap. It was shockingly good. I was honestly sad when I had finished it. The mango drink was really good, as well as the gyros. Highly recommend.“

“Had a great dinner at East-West Cafe. The food was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. My favorite was the chicken kebab, which was delicious and cooked perfectly.

We also really enjoyed sitting on the patio. It was comfortable, relaxing, and made the dinner even more enjoyable. The service was friendly and attentive, and overall we had a great experience.

I highly recommend East-West Cafe if you’re looking for a great dinner spot. Definitely worth trying, and I’ll absolutely be coming back!“

“Door Dashed it for the first time last night. Yummy and enough for 2 meals for me. New fan!“

“An excellent and authentic Middle Eastern bakery. The food is outstanding, and the staff are friendly and attentive. The only downside is the parking situation, which can be challenging at times. If they can improve parking availability, the overall experience would be nearly perfect.“

“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 !!!“

“Extremely delicious. Falafel and shawerma are the best ever tried . Staff are generous. And very kind . Prices are affordable And the plate size is big .each 1 plate is enough for 2 . Restaurant is also very clean and cozy“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Excellent service, terrific food!“

“First time dining at Agora, and we really enjoyed it! The food was delicious, and the service was amazing, thanks to Lara. Her recommendations were spot-on!

The restaurant has a beautiful, open feel with a nice arrangement of banquette seating, although the room can get a bit loud during prime dining hours. Overall, a great experience!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“1st time and will be back!“

“I have been to other Cava restaurants all over Northern Virginia, but the best by far is the one in McLean. No matter the time of day, the service is always excellent. Kayla and the Staff are always gracious, even when the customers aren't. (We are talking about McLean). Thanks to all the Wonderful Staff. Cheryl Izegbu“

“Is the best Mexican food i ever tried. I used to eat from cava 3 or 2 time a week.

I recommend the place if u didnt tried it u have something wrong in ur life :D�� one more thing after u put all your toping end it with Lemon tahini dressing yummy yummy no regretting“

“You can't go wrong with this location or CAVA in general! The store is always spotless, and they always have enough staff to keep the line moving smoothly. Plus, the portion sizes are fantastic; you never have to ask for extra because they get it right the first time. I'd choose CAVA over Chipotle any day! A huge thank you to Mayra and Gisella for an amazing experience.“

“I came here on a Sunday evening during Restaurant Week, but we wanted to try more dishes so we opted for a couple of them from the regular menu. My favorites were the mixed spread and dolma, as well as the sumac lemonade. Our server, Abdullah, was excellent! The whole dining experience was great from start to finish. Highly recommend this place!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Good service, great authentic Mediterranean food, amazing lemonade. I was floored when the lady came out and gave us FREE REFILLS on the lemonade. The presentation of the food was authentic and charming, the tzatziki and spicy sauce were great. The best Mediterranean food I’ve had in the DMV“

“My husband and I visited here coming back from our honeymoon, and we had a wonderful experience at Corsica! The food was delicious with many vibrant flavors and we especially liked the summer Lemon Bucatini, the Lamb Skewers, spicy cucumbers, and chocolate ganache dessert. Joy, Ian, and Mario were so friendly and attentive - we felt very taken care of and we would love to come back again!“

“excellent fooood. just tried it. very gooooooooooood!!!“

“Maria and the crew are some of the friendliest staff and best food!!

It is where I was first introduced to pickled onions and they have awoken my love of lamb again. It's also got a lot of very healthy choices, but the magic is when it is all put together it's delicious no matter what combination“

“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.“

“Hi! I went to Cava in Burke today ! The food was delicious! And fresh! Also, the staff members were very friendly and respectful. I had the chance to ask some questions to the manager while I was waiting for my pita bread, and she nicely answered my questions ! Is good to see that we have hardworking people in the area !!! I will highly recommend this location to my friends,Thank you for your good service and for being open during this pandemic time.“

“Wanted a quick snack before popping into work and SO glad I stumbled upon this NEW Afghan spot! Definitely gonna have to come back and try literally everything.. the portion size of the plates coming out the kitchen on top of the amazing smells like fresh baked naan, I already told the owner to expect me weekly!! The owner, Sharif (hope I’m spelling that right) was super kind, enthusiastic and excited to share his hard work with everyone after a year long wait. I’m excited to see what else is in store for this authentic, delicious spot!“

“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!“

“great customer service even late night“

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

“Excellent food. My whole family loved it. Will return again.“

“We’ve ordered catering from the Beirut Butcher on a number of occasions and their food has always been delicious and their service has been lovely. If there was one bit of feedback I would share is that their menu prices online are a little bit out of date, but that should be a simple website update. I would highly recommend this place for catering and make sure you reach out to them early because they get busy.“

“Reasonably priced drinks and karaoke was fun!“

“Wow x10! Probably the best falafel & gyro I’ve had in very long time since I lived in Chicago. Don’t get me started on the baklava. They made this with the most detailed attention and poured their love into it. I highly recommend this place. My new favorite Greek restaurant.“

“Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.“

“I’ve been to this CAVA location several times, and unfortunately, I consistently have an issue when the manager is working.

I order the kids meal because it is the appropriate portion for me. I cannot finish a regular meal, and I end up throwing a significant amount of it away. With the kids meal, I am able to finish my food without a problem.

However, whenever this particular manager is there, I am repeatedly told that I need to order a regular meal. I’ve also been told that I cannot request half rice and half lentils and that I must choose one or the other. I have never had an issue making the same request when another employee or manager is working.

I understand that restaurants have policies, but the inconsistent way this is being handled is frustrating. I’m simply trying to order a portion that works for me and avoid wasting food. I would appreciate it if the staff could apply the same policy consistently and treat customers respectfully.

I enjoy CAVA and would like to continue coming here, but this experience has made me consider going elsewhere.“

“I recently visited Raki Cafe and was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional customer service. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a friendly atmosphere. The staff were incredibly attentive and went out of their way to ensure that my experience was enjoyable.

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

“Cafe Monaco is absolutely the best kept secret in the McLean/Tysons Corner area.

I bought three (yes, three - don't judge me) ham/cheese/egg croissants and these might have very well been the best croissants I've ever had in the States. Crisp, wonderfully flaky, and perfectly buttered; these have become my go-to breakfast sandwich.

Honestly, you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't pay a visit to Cafe Monaco.“

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

“Omg. That’s all I can say. This was the best lamb gyro I ever had! I was really craving some good Greek food and it hit the spot. I’ll be back! Thank you so much! 💕💕💕 the rice pilaf was chefs kiss!!“
