20 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Somerville

“Kyma is the reason we drive 30 minutes for amazing authentic Greek cuisine. Our appetizer/small plate of smoked eggplant dip & lamb empanada with herb mint sauce was a wonderful start. Sea bass in tomato broth with potatoes & Aegean shrimp dish were perfectly prepared. We had to have the baklava with vanilla ice cream (no pic as we attacked it!). The ambience, service and food made for a beautiful meal!“

“We had a meet up group of 20 people. It was my first time there and I will definitely be back. BYOB if you forget like I did, there’s a liquor store next door. The food was excellent. I had the chicken Michele and I loved it. I had the most artichokes on mine and it was my favorite part. The portions are very big. The restaurant is beautiful and I am looking forward to coming back with my family and visitors. My only problem was we were 20 people and we got 3 dishes of olive oil to go with bread. Should’ve been 6! I asked for some and never got it. Asked for wine glasses and got ice. Kept the ice and asked for wine glasses/ never came. This was the busers not the waiter who was very personable and sweet. Overall loved it.Parking: There is parking behind the restaurant.I went for lot 4 which is closest.Parking is free on Sundays.“

“Very good food. First time having Egyptian food but it was quite enticing. It's a small quaint place but during pleasant weather they've got sidewalk seating which I think is awesome. I'm thinking it probably is a BYOB but you may want to call them to confirm. I did not see any liquor on the premises.I was seated immediately and served by whom I believe may have been the owner or manager. Very nice man and very helpful.“

“One of the most fabulous halal upscale dining experiences. This has become our go-to place for birthdays and anniversaries. Their lamb shank with qabuli and filet mignon kebabs are out of this world. Very nice ambiance and service as well. Highly recommend!“

“Hey there ? I live in Islamabad, I visited Gyro King, the food is so Delicious and everyone who works there is so sweet and kind also the staff is so kind. We had visited many great places but I loved the Gyro King food. The Araby salad is so good in taste and all the other dishes I tried is also so yummy and delicious. Keep up the good work guys and don't let up on the consistency!“

“As always Labebe was wonderful. I told Tony, (owner) we have eaten in many restaurants in Manhattan, and the food in Labebe is far better than any place we have been. It is a gem to have this restaurant in a short drive from our home Besides going here for just a dinner out, we have celebrated our family's birthday and other occasions here.“

“We stopped by on our way and didn't expect this small place to have such good, tasty and fresh Mediterranean food. The order taker was friendly and nicely explained menu items. Seating place is average but for the kind of food absolutely perfect. Definitely a place to return for some halal Mediterranean food.“

“The Falafel House has become one of our favorite places. Friendly staff and great service deliver delicious food. Eat in and enjoy the Egyptian atmosphere or take out. Either way you will enjoy an amazing meal.Don't forget the home made chips or dessert.“

“I have hired them to cater for my daughter’ grad party. The food is amazing. The owner is very responsive, prompt and on time. The food was so good. Everyone loved it. It was a huge success! I highly recommend this restaurant and their service“

“Masala Bay is a fast casual dining offering a blend of Indian and Middle Eastern-inspired bowls and burritos (wrapped in naan bread). Its unique naan variations paired with spicy spreads create an intriguing experience.Vegetarian options: Has a whole bunch of Naan Options, Falafel and Samosa chaat“

“This place is incredible. Every single dish that we ordered popped with flavor (chicken kabab with rice and salad, a traditional gyro, and Mediterranean platter w/baba ganoush, dolmas, grilled vegetables, falafel and pita). Everything had a lightness to it, freshly made and expertly prepared. This was nowhere more evident than with the baklava with its light crispy pastry, delicious honey and pistachio paste. The decor is warm and comfortable with exuberant music. We loved it and are definitely coming back. Btw, I felt that the portions were generous, but if you are value minded, you owe it to yourself to try the daily specials. We had the gyro on a Tuesday for $6.99 !“

“Chef/owner Antonio and his family provide impeccable service and consistently good food every tine we've gone here. Tonight was exceptional with Antonio doing the cooking in the back and his son and 2 of his daughters providing service in the dining area.“

“I have some of the best pizza in Somerset however I think they are changing to a cheaper Bridge it seems like everyone is getting this Easy Bake Oven flour to make horrible bread the cheese and the sausage fantastic but please please go back to the better bread it might cost a little more and maybe you can charge a little more but this bread that you have now is not going to work this is not going to keep you in the top class right now you're fading with that bread but we like the sauce and the cheese so much we will order again can we bring you our own dough cuz that bread has got to“

“Nice small Mediterranean spot. The stuffed grape leaves were very good. The falafel also was very good. Crispy on outside and moist on inside. Wish it came with a sauce. Portion sizes are fair. Baklava was huge and not overly sweet. Would come back“

“This place is my freaking go to for a salmon salad! I order a "caesar" salad with salmon. They give you such a generous piece of fish on top of the salad. I put caesar in quotes because it doesn't taste like your regular caesar dressing - but it still tastes good lol“

“The service was amazing, the employee Mykal was so nice and finished my bowl so speedy. The managers are respectful and very dedicated to their service. The overall restaurant was spacey and lots of places to sit.Visit here ASAP. the garlic sauce is to die for!“

“We had a really good meal and experience at Sahara on Saturday, 4/20/2024. We ordered the Hummus appetizer, Falafel dinner and Chicken Chops for dinner, and shared baklava for dessert. Each item was delicious and the portions were huge. They're so big we had a second dinner at home with the leftovers. Did I mention the wood-fired bread? The Staff were also extremely friendly and attentive.“

“Everything very good but pricy That will limit me going there.“

“What an unexpected, pleasant dining experience. We had the experience of a meal that is a true delight.The pleasures that Silk Road provides are many: the elegant dining rooms, the attentive service, and the wonderful food, the attention to detail, and the friendly atmosphere all come together to delight the customer.We had been out on a dreary day, one of many such days lately. My wife suggested we go to Silk Road, that it would be a treat on such a somber afternoon. An excellent choice!We were promptly seated for lunch. No sooner than we were seated our server had a carafe of water on the table. The decor has been done with care, cloth napkins speak to the pride Silk Road takes in its image.We placed our order. We were immediately served Afghan salad and Lentil soup. The salad was loaded with fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, the lentil soup delicious (and I dislike lentils!). Two pieces of Afghan Bread were served shortly after, piping hot and delicious. We were told the bread is baked fresh in house. We could have been satisfied with these first offerings, which were offered with our entree. My wife had the Large Mantu, which are steamed dumplings filled with minced beef, chives, and afghan spices, garnished with dill yogurt. She shared some with me: delicious! I had Banjan, an eggplant dish redolent with Afghan spices. Both entrées came with Naringe Palaw, a rice with orange and saffron, an intriguing combination of flavors. My wife, who doesn't particularly like eggplant, loved my dish almost as much as I did. A true gustatory delight.The owner spent some time with us, his pride in his restaurant and his cuisine evident, his desire to provide a warm and friendly atmosphere makes for a great dining experience. Do yourself a favor: venture forth to Silk Road. You'll be pleased you did.“

“Great food and great people. Highly recommend them!“
