What this is

MediterraneanFoodAtlas is a free directory of Mediterranean restaurants in the United States, organised by state and city. Every listing has an address; most have a phone number, and where a business publishes its hours or services we show those too. Listings come from open data and from the businesses themselves, who can correct their card at any time — about the directory. Nothing on the lists is paid placement.

Pick a state above, or use the “near me” button to jump to the Mediterranean restaurants closest to you. City pages show the full list with a map; state pages collect smaller towns that have a single Mediterranean restaurant.

Common questions

What counts as Mediterranean food?

Mediterranean cooking covers the countries around the Mediterranean Sea, with olive oil, grilled meats, fresh vegetables, legumes, herbs and flatbreads at the center. In the United States the label is often used for Greek, Lebanese, Turkish and other Middle Eastern restaurants, so menus vary a lot.

What is the difference between a gyro, shawarma and a kebab?

A gyro is the Greek dish of meat roasted on a vertical spit and served in pita with tzatziki. Shawarma is its Middle Eastern relative, with spiced meat on a spit, often in a wrap with garlic sauce or tahini. Kebab usually means meat cooked on a skewer or sliced from a spit, and the details vary by country.

Are there vegetarian options at Mediterranean restaurants?

Usually. Falafel, hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, stuffed grape leaves and lentil dishes are common. Confirm ingredients with the staff, since some rice dishes, soups and beans may be cooked with meat stock.

What does halal mean at a restaurant?

Halal describes food prepared according to Islamic dietary rules, including how meat is sourced. Restaurants use the word in different ways, so ask the restaurant how its meat is sourced and certified.

Do Mediterranean restaurants take reservations?

Counter-service shops are usually walk-in, while sit-down restaurants may take reservations, especially for groups and weekend dinners. Call ahead to confirm.

Which places are not listed here?

Halal meat markets, Middle Eastern grocery stores, bakeries without a dining menu, sandwich shops that only use pita bread and hookah lounges are not listed. The directory is for restaurants that serve meals.
