12 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 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“

“I’ve ordered the poke from this place 3 times. It’s always excellent and feel good knowing it’s healthy and fresh. Javad is the best. He did an excellent job of explaining what wonder was about. Super friendly and helpful.“

“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.“

“The best Greek restaurant in the DMV“

“I’ve been coming to this location pretty much every weekend for the last 3 years and realized I’ve never actually left a review! They have another location that is bigger than this one, but honestly, this one is the better spot for food, service, and the overall vibe. I actually live closer to the Falls Church location but still make the drive here because the staff are always super friendly and the experience is consistently good. On Fridays and Saturday, it can get a little busy a hectic but the wait usually isn’t too bad, maybe around like 10–15 minutes. My order has always come out right and the food tastes fresh and delicious every time I’ve been here.

The place itself is clean, condiments are always stocked, and there’s a really nice mural on the wall that gives it a cozy feel. Nice music playing most of the time I come and seating is a little tight but it’s comfortable. Every time I come in,I’m greeted right away and the staff have been the same since I first started coming so they know what they’re doing. If there ever is an issue, they’re quick to fix it. If you have any allergies or food restrictions, they are pretty accommodating to requests so that is something to consider.
Overall, this has been one of my go-to spots for Greek food for years! Consistently good food, good prices, and really great service.“

“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.“

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

“Four and a half stars.

The truth is, finding a buffet these days that does not require a loan officer standing next to the dessert station is getting harder and harder. So when Mandy Mediterranean shows up with a buffet for $19.99, that gets my attention.

And yes, I have decided the “Mandy” must stand for mandatory, because if you are in the area, you really should check this place out.

The buffet offers a nice mix of Indian and Mediterranean dishes, and everything I tried tasted fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. The real move, though, is making sure you get some of the fresh baked naan. Warm naan at a buffet is basically a cheat code for happiness.

The butter chicken had a little more edge to it than the creamy version I am used to, but that may just be a different cultural dialect of flavor. It was still good, just a little more assertive than expected.

All in all, this is a strong spot with good variety, fresh food, and a price that feels refreshingly reasonable. If you are hungry and want options, Mandy Mediterranean is absolutely worth a visit.“

“Great food and service! Thank you.“
