50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Renton

“My husband and I loooooove going here for lunch dates! Generous portions, delicious flavors, and great service.

You cannot go wrong! The place can fill up during peak mealtime hours if you’re hoping to dine in at a table with chairs but they do have window stools too.

I always get the gyro plate and it hits every single time. The owner-chefs also sometimes gift us freebie food every now and then which is above and beyond.“

“This place was amazing. Great food and great customer service. The guy that helped me was very helpful and had a great attitude while helping me out. On top of this the wait for the food wasn’t long at all. I will definitely go back. Highly recommend.“

“wonderful atmosphere, service and food! ❤️“

“Amazing food! Top Quality! Well worth the Price!“

“Wonderful food and service.“

“I had a great experience at Shawarma Land. The food was very delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The service was respectful, friendly, and fast. The atmosphere was clean and comfortable, and the staff treated customers with kindness and professionalism.
I really enjoyed my meal here and I definitely recommend this place to others. Thank you for the wonderful service!“

“I'm mad my friend didn't show me this spot earlier!!! For starters, we had the mezze platter. It came with dolmas (so good!! Perfect marriage of rice and spices!), tzatziki (so fresh! The mint...yum!!), baba ganoush (with a smokey hint), hummus (so fresh!!), tabouli (best ive had in a long time! It was not overwhelming with parsley... super enjoyable. So good we got orders to go!), and the piyaz (a chilled white bean salad with ginger root, onion, tomato, EVOO, and garlic...so good we got orders to go!). Entrees we had the mesopotamian lamb and beef (the stew was so comforting..like a hug. The lamb was so tender!), and the lamb chops (love the rosemary and garlic!) For dessert...freshhhhh baklava, freshest ive had. It had just been made. It was so perfect! It's not so heavy compared to the normal baklava with honey that Im used too. Looks like I have a new favorite Mediterranean spot to go to!!! The staff was great. The food was amazing.“

Homer on Beacon Hill is one of those places that immediately wraps you in warmth from the moment you walk up. The glowing yellow sign outside sets the tone — soft, inviting, and a little bit magical. Inside, it feels like stepping into someone’s family kitchen where modern design meets soulful comfort.

The ambiance is intimate but lively — thoughtfully designed with an open kitchen, glowing ovens, and seating that keeps you close to the action. It feels both upscale and deeply human. I believe there are two wood-fired ovens, which add to the cozy scent and visual energy. The bar seating is beautifully done, though it’s near the door where guests come in and out, so bring a light jacket if you plan to sit there. The space still feels incredibly warm and welcoming.

The staff move like a rhythm — attentive, intelligent, and graceful in motion. You can tell this place is designed with care: there’s even a wheelchair-accessible restroom, and the flow between spaces feels intentional. The walk-up window for self-serve soft-serve ice cream outside is such a clever touch.

We ordered a trio of spreads — classic hummus with chickpeas and cumin, smoky red pepper with mint and pomegranate, and creamy yogurt with roasted tomatoes and herbs. Every bite was balanced, fresh, and beautifully plated. The pita bread came straight from the fire oven, warm and pillowy, with that slight char that tells you it was made with love.

The cocktails were another highlight: a perfectly balanced Old Fashioned and a frothy Whiskey Sour that was so well-made it could easily compete with any high-end cocktail bar in the city. The flavors were elegant and layered, just like the atmosphere itself.

The music was nostalgic — the kind that makes you sway a little in your seat without even realizing it. The crowd felt connected, like everyone was collectively part of something special. It’s clear this restaurant was designed for experience, not just eating.

Homer captures what dining should feel like — intentional, soulful, and sensory. Everything from the lighting to the flavors to the flow of energy was in harmony. It’s rare to find a space that satisfies the body, mind, and spirit, but this one truly does.

✅ Highlights:
• Open kitchen with wood-fired ovens
• Exceptional cocktails (Old Fashioned + Whiskey Sour)
• Stunning hummus trio and hot pita
• Modern design with cozy, family-style warmth
• Wheelchair-accessible restroom
• Outdoor seating and a walk-up soft-serve window
• Great for date nights, solo dining, or small groups

💫 Tip: Sit at the bar if you love watching the chefs work their magic, but bring a light sweater for cooler nights.

This is one of those places that reminds you food is more than flavor — it’s connection, creativity, and care. Homer made me smile, sway, and feel deeply at home.

“Wonderful food, great service. Highly recommended.“

“Sure nice guy running the place. All in all pretty good. IMHO though the falafel was too thick and thus was a bit under cooked in the middle. Not traditional tahini either. I expected it to be better given the reviews. I will definitely try again, but next time I might ask for well done falafel and see if he has regular tahini. I hope this does it because it is super close to me!“

“I've been visiting here for about 8 years and have never been disappointed. The food is always so fresh and taste absolutely delicious.the service from Layla alone is outstanding. She is always personable, kind and inviting. I always get there a few minutes before the rush so we can chat. The food comes out quick, hot and perfect every single time! My go to is the gyro plate. If I'm extra hungry I'll add some baklava which taste like it was transported directly from an oven in Greece!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely wonderful experience! The staff at Minna Mediterranean are so friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared — the lamb in particular was outstanding! The restaurant was very clean and well-kept, and everything we tried was delicious. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Mediterranean cuisine and great service!“

“Great food...good value :)“

“Friendly staff and the most AMAZING garlic sauce. Highly recommend the Greek French fries 🍟“

“Ordered takeaway (using ezCater) from Mint & Olive on NYE as we were a large group, and it was spot on. All of the food was delicious (the hummus especially!), the portion sizes suited our group of 9, and it couldn't have been easier to order and pick up. Would revisit!“

“In our experience, Seattle eateries have consistently delivered exceptional meals, but Miss Cafe and their Turkish breakfast exceeded all expectations. Generously portioned for two, the spread featured an array of fresh, delectable dishes that showcased the chef's skill. Standouts included the cheese pastry and a rich, tomato, cheesy egg stew. However, the true pièce de résistance was the heavenly honey and cream, perfectly paired with crusty bread - a flavor combination that bordered on sublime. Leaving some for my boyfriend was nothing less than an act of pure love, but we'll certainly return again and again during our short stay in the city.“

“Surprising unexpected delight by the side of a busy road with not a lot of foot traffic between Swedish Hospital and Virginia Mason! I think more could be done with the decor, and it was understaffed, but the food was AMAZING! I can see why it is so highly rated - the meat is perfectly bribed or seasoned or whatever magic they do to make it tender and infused with flavor throughout. We had the Gyro plate and the Beef Shwarma plate along with the Baba Ganoush - each was excellent in their own way, and the garlic dressing in the accompanying salads is to kill for. Will come again!“

“If you're in the mood for some amazing Mediterranean food, you have to try the chicken gyro with french fries topped with feta cheese! The shish chicken kebab plate and the lamb shish kebab plate are both absolutely delicious too. You won’t be disappointed!“

“The food is delicious . Everything is made with pride . It’s all fresh and made in house . Since it’s fresh and made to order , you will have to wait . It is worth it . I highly recommend the Greek french fries , amazing. Also I would not skip the chai tea or baklava, both so good. Friendly family business that appreciates its customers. The only thing I did not like was not their fault . Customers constantly talking loudly on cell phone , incredibly annoying ringers going off from multiple phones, some very loud voices . It’s a tiny place with close tables so hear everything. It has lovely lighting from beautiful lamps and is nicely decorated. I just wish some of the customers more considerate .“

“Awesome place. Excellent shawarmas, staff is super cool and always nice. Fast service. Great parking. Spot is clean and they always got something good on the TV, like ufc or soccer or nature channel or whatever. Good prices for alot of food that will fill you up. They know how to make a incredible spicy shwarma. If your sensitive to spice, be careful cuz you might pay for it in the morning but it's worth it. Damn good place. 10/10 best spot“

“Love this place. Don’t bother with the menu, just order the shish tawook:)“

“Really great food and options with great friendly service. Appreciate you all and thank goodness for DoorDash too. 🙏🙏🙏“

“ما شاء الله تبارك الرحمن اكل طيب مطعم نظيف والعاملين روعه بالتعامل والمساعدة شكرآ لكم“

“This is our go to place for Greek food. We eat here a few times a year and are always satisfied with our meal and service. Order at the counter and then find a seat. Plenty of seating, portions are great (usually have leftovers). Does a lot of take out business.“

“Best Food In seattle“

“This place is great. It's a small space with limited seating, but I always order to go. The sandwiches are fresh and delicious and I love their sauces. Besides a traditional euro I always get a small order of Greek fries, but I always make sure and request crispy fries. This is one of my twice a month treats that I would not want to do without. I usually place a lock up order, and the food comes out reasonably fast, and the workers are very friendly.“

“Good food and good service always lots of fun when get there order food get free drink or free cake the owner of Sahara is business man his goal always make sure each customer come to place. Happy and blessed and make sure coming back that’s his goal“

“Had the most amazing Chicken Shawarma Platter ordered thru Grub Hub~ it was “fine dining” delivered!! I highly recommend making an order ~ even if you’re staying in right now, it’s well worth it!!! Everything on the platter was delicious ~ the best shawarma that I’ve ever tasted!!! ✨“

“This place is so cool. I felt like I was stepping into a 1920's jazz club. There was live jazz, dark and swanky, bartenders shaking up drinks and remarkable service. Not to mention the food was delicious. Try the deviled eggs, thank me later.😊“

“Best place to eat by yourself or with family“

“Had a great time at this bar, the interior was really awesome, a spooky, eerie vibe! Loved it and definitely recommend stopping in for a drink!“

“great food quaint envroment and quality service for almost 20 years“

“I really enjoyed everything here.
The staff was amazing and when we asked for advices, was very welcoming and friendly.
The food was amazing, starting from the taste and it was extremely good looking.
Will definetely come back!“

“Food was great we loved it. Tables are small so a party of 5 is hard to accommodate. Seating out doors is limited and there is limited staff so they don’t make the rounds very often. Over all we loved it and will definitely eat there again.“

“The food was amazing! The Turkish coffee and the hummus alone is worth the drive. Their side sauces are terrific too. Highly recommend the lamb gyro. Service was very nice too. Tacoma location. 5 out of 5!“

“They have the best falafel ever! ❤️“

“Great service. Good good.“

“The best halal Mediterranean food in town. We just loved fresh salads & starters. BBQ grill was finger licking good and freshly made. Ambiance was too welcoming. All kinds of fresh and yummy Arabic authentic sweets reminded us of Dubai❤️ the serving size is large and price is very reasonable. I strongly recommend the place“

“Delicious food made with high quality ingredients.“

“I have ordered from this location many times through online delivery, and they’ve been consistently reliable. The vegetarian food from this location is always fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. Their falafel is excellent — crisp on the outside and soft inside — and the hummus is smooth and perfectly seasoned. For the price, the portions are generous and feel like great value, which is one of the reasons I keep ordering from this particular branch.

My online orders have always arrived well-packed, with everything neatly separated and nothing leaking or getting soggy. The flavors stay intact even after delivery, which isn’t always the case with Mediterranean food from other places.

Communication from the restaurant has been good, and orders are usually ready on time for pickup or delivered exactly as requested.

The only minor challenge is parking around the area if you ever need to pick up, but for pure online ordering, this Garlic Crush location has been excellent. If you want tasty, well-priced vegetarian Mediterranean food delivered without hassle, this spot is a dependable choice.“

“10/10 would recommend. Off the beaten path, Adrian and team were a delight. You can see that they truly take pride in what they do. Friendly, queer friendly, quality, and vibes are a few of the many wonderful ways I would describe this place. Fantastic meal and drinks“

“The food was incredible. I loved the gyro. Loads of meat and flavorful tzatziki sauce. The Greek fries were the perfect side for it and the portions are massive. Pricing is great relative to the quality of food and portion size. Great place.“

“What a magnificent find this was! Impeccable service, Andaluca offers a romantic and elegant ambiance to complement the perfect culinary experience. We started with the soft-ripened Murciana goat cheese and house made preserves, the star of the night was their roasted beets and citrus salad, the Andaluca paella simply delicious and the flavors of the preserved lemon chicken transported us to the Mediterranean! I have to add that the cocktails were also an experience! We all agreed this was by far one of the best meals we’ve had. Highly recommended!“

“The Shop Agora is Seattle's very best restaurant. Nikos' food and wine selection is a hidden gem - unbelievably more delicious than the approachable price tag would suggest! But the priceless part is Nikos' thoughtful entertainment. He curates the small restaurant's crowd each evening, from a collection of happenstance strangers to neighbors who've raised a glass together. Tip well. Nikos and his team earn it every time.“

“Ordered the Chicken Kabob and garlic fries. The chicken is sooo melt in your mouth good! And the garlic paste was creamy and not too rich. Fries were seasoned perfectly and the sauce that goes on them was very good. Overall, this place has the best Mediterranean Food in all of King County. I have visited their Redmond and Issaquah locations as well. The consistency between restaurants is much appreciated.“

“Playlist was tops. Food is absolutely delectable. Made to order and served up in very generous portions. The vast array of complimenting flavors, textures and aromas made my palette very happy. Service is genuine and friendly. The ambiance was special. I highly recommend this bistro!“

“Yusra & Sabah Restaurant is a must-try for incredible East African flavors! The goat meat with spiced rice (bariis) and tender suqaar are perfectly seasoned and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, paired with fluffy sabaayad flatbread and that fiery green sauce. Don’t miss the aromatic spiced tea (shah)—it’s the perfect finish. Everything halal, fresh, generous portions, and super welcoming vibe. Best Somali spot around; already planning my next visit!“
