38 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Birmingham

“It was one of the best wraps I've had. Super good and pretty healthy. It was very loud in there, so having a conversation was difficult, but the server was nice. There were no combos. Everything was a la cart, so it was a little more expensive. 3 people, wraps and fries...$45 before tip. ?‍♀️“

“I have been there 3-4 times, but not in the last year. Met a client for dinner and hostess was very nice and welcoming. Server, MIA, was attentive, explaining specials and answering questions regarding menu. MIA brought a bread basket, water, my wine and my client a lemon cello martini to start. A gentleman, who did not introduce himself, but maybe the manager stopped at our table. I had salmon, which was cooked perfectly and very good. My client had the snapper, which was one of the specials. Which she indicated was ok, but not great. We did have dessert, pistachio cheesecake, which was really good. Bananas Foster was ok, not great. Service was excellent, and based on the outstanding food from my earlier visits I will probably try again. But again, my salmon was great!“

“Elie's Grill offers a fantastic dining experience with its cozy yet elegant ambiance and a menu filled with delicious Mediterranean-inspired dishes. From impeccable service to top-notch flavors, every aspect of the experience is sure to impress. It's no wonder it's a local favorite! Definitely coming back.“

“We had a really great dinner here. It was my family's first time here (I had been here before for lunch). I put in my name at the front after being told it was about a 1-1.5 hour wait. Got texted when the table was ready. As we were waiting at the front to be seated, we noticed a ton of regulars that knew the hostess/staff were being told that they had a long wait, and no they couldn't get seated immediately and would have to wait. I mention this because I find that the staff at MND are very well trained, friendly, and very fair for sticking with their system of first come, first served.The food was delicious and the servings are very generous. Even with mixed drinks, the price was very reasonable.You probably need to make a reservation at least a week in advance, or if you walk-in expect a long wait. But it's worth it!“

“I absolutely love this place and every dish in here! The bread and garlic OMG!!! SO GOOD! The Fatoosh Tawook with Feta is my favorite salad anywhere. The Shish Kabobs with roasted vegetables are amazing. The owner, Mo, is a wonderful man.“

“Extremely flavorful meats. They use a good choice of spices that is different than other middle eastern places I’ve had. Excellent, warm, soft pita, and the rice/picked veggies are fantastic. Prices are good for what you get, and you’ll always have leftovers. Owners are extremely friendly. I would recommend eithout any hesitation.“

“Our food was wonderful. We plan to be back in the future.“

“Taza was recommended by Deana and did not disappoint. I called to ask about one of the menu item ingredients and purchased the SPICY chicken shwarma.The owner was friendly, and food was made to order. As soon as I drove off and began to open my sandwich, I had to turn around to order a 2nd one. (Didn't even get a photo)I came back with less than half a sandwich 1 mile down and the new one thay I scarfed down just as fast.Note: Tĥe punch of the spice is delayed. The initial punch is packed with flavor.“

“I wish to extend my heartfelt gratitude for the divine blessing that led me to partake in an Iftari at this esteemed establishment. While diligently engaged in my duties within the nearby vicinity, observing the fast until the moment of iftar, I found myself drawn to this restaurant. Upon entering, I was immediately struck by the remarkable level of customer service, which surpassed all expectations. Moreover, the culinary delights presented before me were nothing short of extraordinary; each dish exceeded my anticipations, prompting me to indulge beyond measure.What truly touched my heart was the thoughtful gesture of providing complimentary dates and water to aid in breaking my fast, a gesture that exemplifies the spirit of hospitality and generosity. Furthermore, as I prepared to take my leave, I was pleasantly surprised by the esteemed lady of the establishment, who graciously bestowed upon me a complimentary dessert, an unexpected and delightful conclusion to an already exceptional dining experience.In reflection, the warmth of the hospitality extended to me during my visit not only nourished my body but also enriched my soul. Such acts of kindness and generosity serve as a testament to the noble values upheld by this establishment, leaving an indelible mark on my memory and prompting me to eagerly anticipate future visits.“

“This is absolutely the best Mediterranean restaurant in the state of Michigan. Their chicken swarma is phenomenal it is never dried out always fresh with homemade phenomenal garlic sauce. The humas is the best I've ever eaten. The tabooli salad will knock you out.You will not find a better Mediterranean restaurant.Thanks for the great food great service and fair prices. The owners will be successful in this location because they are customer friendly and they deliver what they claim to be the best chicken swarma Anywhere.“

“Excellent food with convenient parking. The beef tenderloin kabob pita sandwich is outstanding! The humus and salads are too.“

“Looking from the outside, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from this restaurant, but mind you, that was some of the best shawarma I have had near the city in a long time, and I live in Dearborn. They are quite clean and very friendly service as well which made the experience so much better. If it’s take out or just a quick lunch, definitely recommend this spot!“

“Great food great service you have to go try this“

“Just tried your new Ft Wayne location yesterday. Having lived in Saudi Arabia for years, your food is as close to legit as I have found since moving back to the USA!! The chicken Schwarma and tabouli were soooo good!! The falafel was the best I have ever had!!! The pita bread was excellent that the Schwarma was made with!!! We will def make the 1.5 hour drive to go back and do it frequently!!!“

“After a dozen or so visits over the past year, I've yet to be disappointed here. The food is always fresh and hits the spot. The almond and raisin rice-toppers are a nice touch a lot of places don't offer.But the real standout here in a town with hundreds of Mediterranean options is the demeanor of the owner and staff. They have always been friendly and I always seem to leave smiling. It's very clear the owner cares and instills the same in his staff.Really happy you moved in to Berkley. Keep up the good work!Vegetarian options: The falafel is decent“

“Great food, good prices and friendly service. It was our first time there today, we're looking foward to going again soon. The mango sauce was fantastic (different take on a honey-mustard style sauce).“

“Was here awhile back and tried another place and it was awful so I had to come back here to get my taste buds back and it was great the lamb and rice 4 different kind made my day ? and the soup was deliciousVegetarian options: They have grilled vegetablesKid-friendliness: What can you say the host is a kid with respect and honor when he takes your order“

“I been going here for over a decade. We have our favorites. My wife and the kids love the Philly cheese steak sub and I love their Buffalo wings. Their onion rings are great too especially if you love the onion chunks. Cherry on top is everything is halal! Alhamdulillah“

“friendliness and effeciency of the staff.“

“Excellent every single time. I'm a regular.“

“The food is amazing and the people are super friendly! Worth the drive!!“

“Bare bones takeout spot with a unique (usually spicier) take on Lebanese style food. Most of the menu is creative and reasonably priced, and I’ve never had something from here I didn’t enjoy immensely. The Al Jabal sandwich and Kof and Slaw are unique and spectacular.“

“Went here to eat today for the first time. Not only was the food good and the seating area nice, but the man who served me was very helpful with recommendations when I asked, thanks to him I ended up with a delicious bowl that I couldn't have been happier with! Definitely will be back again.“

“I found my new favorite spot! I went there for the 1st time today. My friend and I ordered lunch. The food is absolutely delicious!!! I’m middle eastern and I know good food. This food is it! Everything I tried is on point. Chicken shawarma, falafel and lentil soup. I ordered some grape leaves and tabouli, but I haven’t tried it yet. The workers are super friendly. Don’t let the location of this place fool you. It’s very clean and well kept. I can’t wait to go back. *thank you Wally & Jeanna!!!*“

“Exceptional first order! I decided not to park so I rode my bike 2 miles for a veggie plate and a kabob. I barely had room in my very large backpack! Food was insanely good. We moved here 2 years ago and haven’t found a go-to place, but I think this I now it!!!! 5 out of 5 I’m a food snob and this place is LEGIT“

“The food is great. the salad was very fresh and the dressing was fantastic. The whole meal was really good. We will be back!“

Troy, MI 06315 11/13/2022 Exellent evening for six of us at a very fair value. Restaurant was friendly, family-owned and sturdy furnature. Whipped garlic and bread outstanding and had the women in our group overjoyed. My boneless whole chicken was marinated/grilled perfectly. Spinich pie was meh. Lamb soup and ground lamb fresh and tasteful. Great value - most dishes around $17-20. No alcohol. They really tried to make our meal special - checking on us often with frequent refills. Definitely on our "restaurant rotation" now. Restaurant/restrooms spotless. Paper napkins.“

“Truly anything, everything here has so much flavor and it’s all cooked with a lot of love.“

“Whenever I get a homesick feeling, I always crave Mediterranean food. Of course not all Mediterranean restaurants are the same, but Shish Palace is a great example of why it works as my medication. It's not about the food, but the people behind it. The people who work here put time and care into the food, and it translates to time and care for the one eating it. Of course I'll be back, again“

“excellent service flavorful chicken worth the price. clean establishment“

“great food at great prices. we live being carry out here!!“

“Uncle Chuck was so nice and welcoming.. the hospitality was just as amazing as the food.. my new favorite spot.. my chicken shawarma bowl was so good and the kids enjoyed the fresh chicken and wedges and buttery honey biscuits.. thanks you guys for the candy for my kiddos.. go show uncle chuck some love“

“This is similar to a chipotle concept of ordering a pre-determined bowl or creating your own bowl. I really appreciated that when you first come in, there is a wall with the pictures of the different items you can pick for your bowl because I wasn't familiar with some of the items. I did a custom bowl half/half with the zartar steak and lamb. I asked for the kale salad and the blaze hummus. This bowl was magnificent. The flavors were great and it was good quantity of food. Everything tasted fresh and light. The hummus was perfect and the blaze sauce gave it the spice I needed. If I knew the blaze sauce would be that delicious, I'd of asked for more of it in my food. The bowls came with fresh warm bread (I saw them make it while I was waiting). I was obsessed with this bread. It was fluffy and warm and fantastic. It was a really nice size to come with the bowl. There were tables to sot down at if you wanted to dine in. I would 10/10 recommend this place.“

“The food was good I really liked the majority rap that I got m j a d a r a that's a Latin I mean that's a Lebanese but there's no tables something about this isn't right I can't say I didn't go there I went there but it's carry out only.“
