Best Mediterranean in Atlanta

, 6 Options Found

Nick’s Food to Go on the corner of Hill Street and Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard might not look like much, but the Greek take-out eatery is a favorite with locals and food aficionados throughout Atlanta. Nick, his wife and their grown children operate the restaurant, adding a dash of authentic flair. The gyro platter, which includes a Greek salad and Greek fries on the side, is one of the most popular dishes. Anyone with room for dessert can try the baklava.

The Mediterranean Grill's three locations—Midtown Atlanta, Decatur and Marietta—are usually crowded with casual diners looking for gyros and kebabs. Other traditional Mediterranean dishes include Greek salads, falafel and tabouleh salad. Often, the most simple menu items are the most popular, such as a plate of hummus with pita wedges. Pita wraps, gyros and shish kebab plates are complimented by Greek potatoes, another popular offering. Order at the counter then settle in at a table in the casual dining room, or opt for take-out. The Mediterranean Grill has been voted the best Mediterranean and Middle Eastern restaurant in Atlanta.

One of Atlanta's most popular restaurants, Cafe Agora is almost always full. The menu is inspired by cuisine from countries bordering the Aegean from Turkey to Greece. You'll find a variety of salads, sandwiches, appetizers and meat dishes to choose from here. The lamb kofte, perfectly-seasoned skewers of minced lamb cooked to perfection are delicious, as is the rotisserie-roasted chicken gyro. For those looking for a vegetarian option, the tabouli, cracked wheat, diced vine tomatoes, cucumbers, scallions, fresh herbs, lemon juice and olive oil; and the piyaz, white beans, diced vine tomatoes, red onions, carrots, potatoes, and olive oil are excellent choices. The traditional desserts are sinfully decadent; try the Turkish rice pudding, a creamy concoction of rice, milk, dry fruits and spices.

A meal at Buckhead's Kyma is an adventure in the lively culinary traditions of the Mediterranean. Meze such as ceviche, oysters, calamari, and spinach pie make for excellent sharing plates while traditional Greek spreads make for hearty meals. Salad lovers can go for the refreshing watermelon and feta salad, while seafood connoisseurs can relish the delicate flavors of Lavraki served with olive oil, Santorini capers, and Tuscan kale. You can also try the specialty Mykonos Platter, which features grilled beef ribeye, lamb chops, pork ribs, and chicken with olive oil, Tzatziki, eggplant stew, and beans.

Ameer's Mediterranean Grill is an unpretentious, welcoming eatery where food takes precedence over everything else. This no fancy, Mediterranean restaurant which also features Middle Eastern fares has more of fish, salads, whole grains dishes though there are a selected few meat platters in the menu. From crispy falafels, delish shawarmas to the flaky hummus, everything is flavorful and delightful that you will want to come back for more. Vegetarians can also relish here on their veggie sandwiches and entrees.

Long windows, soothing colors, comfortable seating, and mellow lights, all make Divan Restaurant an intimate Middle Eastern oasis. The scents of exotic candles and hookahs mingle with the aroma of the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Here, you can relish fare like Lamb Kabobs Salad and Spicy Shrimp, while you sip on some Turkish beer or a Pomegranate Martini, which happens to be the house specialty. You can end the languorous meal with a fruit-flavored hookah or sheesha.
