11 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Vienna

“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.“

“I absolutely loved the food at CAVA. The variety of protein options is impressive, and everything tasted fresh and well prepared. The grilled chicken was one of the best I’ve had—juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly.

Adding feta cheese, cucumber, and Kalamata olives created an outstanding combination of flavors. Everything was well balanced and delicious.

On top of that, Edwin, the team member who assisted me at the register, was extremely kind, professional, and genuinely great. Excellent customer service, and thank you for the recommendation of the pita chips—they were a perfect addition to the meal.

I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place.“

“I’ve been getting kofta, kebab, makdoos, kibbeh, and other items from Beirut Butcher for 10 years. It’s still my favorite place to get authentic, handmade food in the DMV area.
The staff are always kind and helpful.
Highly recommended! 😊“

“One of the best meals I have had in Tyson’s Corner! Way above average!“

“Best place in NOVA for a gyro. Maybe it's nostalgia glasses but I feel like it used to be better, in any case still the best option. I remember plaka being involved with the community and it's been a while since I've been back but this is still a Vienna staple. Recommended lunch spot if you're in the area.“

“Good selection of manaeesh/flat breads and pies!“

“I love their chicken shawarma wraps. It's big and a normal price. My mom loves all their sandwiches/wraps and their chickpea salad. Their pastries are good too. I often get their Belgian chocolate brownie. We will continue to get food from here.
This is a takeout place. There is no space to eat in store.“

“Great food and service! Thank you.“
