    Vegan lemon blueberry cheesecake
    Aleara L.

    We went on a Saturday night, the ambiance and service were amazing. I enjoyed the vegan pizza and the vegan cheesecake dessert. I would recommend it and will be back.

    Butternut Squash Risotto (Vegan)

    Ok first we need to talk about this chocolate pie. It looks deceiving, I wasn't sure if I would like it when it came to the table because the topping looked so thick. But I am not kidding when I say this chocolate pie might be my favorite food? Not just pie in general or my favorite of this menu but like actually my favorite food I've ever eaten. Otherwise, we also had dinner (lol) which was really delicious. I had the butternut squash risotto which was fairly sweet, I got it without the goat cheese which probably would've added a saltier element to it. My fiancé got the lasagna and noted he could not tell it was GF which is a BIG compliment from him, and he cleared his dish. The focaccia with the appetizer was warm and bouncy. All the staff were really friendly and the restaurant was warm and cozy with Christmas lights up on a cold fall night. Mediterranea is the hands down winner of GF dining in the metro! What an absolute treat!

    Mediterranea is not your ordinary Mediterranean restaurant if you're thinking basic kababs or falafel. It is a restaurant that gives you as close to a Mediterranean experience through food and drink as possible. The menu is so carefully curated with GF meat, vegetarian and vegan options that will wow almost any foodie. Thanks to this menu, it makes a great spot for groups with diverse eating needs. We started with the Brussel sprouts appetizers which was shaved and delightfully seasoned. A very nice departure from the oil bombs that many restaurants serve. I would suggest a balsamic glaze to improve. We ordered the focaccia as well bc how often can you find GF bread service? It was fluffy but dry even with the olive oil. My husband suggested that it be paired with a dipping sauce to improve the dryness. There were so many plant based options to choose from that I was giddy bc there was more than just a boring salad option. Even if youre not vegan or vegetarian, if youre looking for light fare or healthy options, Definitely try the lentil stuffed zucchini with the balsamic and tanning glazes. My husband ordered the chicken dish and tried mine and thoigh he enjoyed his dish he even admitted my was better. We ordered 2 cocktails bc even that menu has imported liquors from the Mediterranean that neither of us have ever heard of. Service was very friendly. We will definitely return for another date night.

    This is my new fav restaurant in Atlanta. I can't believe they've been open so long and I hadn't heard of it. Everything is absolutely delicious. I have a huge sweet tooth so I was skeptical about the gluten free desserts but they were just as good as everything else! Also, they have a plenitude of non-alcoholic beverage options which I love.

    Delicious! We sat on the rooftop at sunset and it was beautiful! Food: spinach/mushroom lasagna and the eggplant stack (both amazing). Service was nice and calm. Drink: limoncello spritz

    Beautiful little restaurant and amazing food! We went late on a Saturday and it was easy to get in, but they do offer reservations. Our server was delightful and I will definitely be coming back!

There was indoor and outdoor seating and we chose to sit outside as it was a beautiful night. We had amazing service, great food, in a really cute neighborhood. We were especially impressed with the staff, and we had a member come out more than once to check with one of the people dining with us who had food allergies to ensure that how they were offering the food would be safe for her. It was also impressive that this restaurant was so busy on a Monday night. There were three of us dining, and we didn't even order any of the meats, and there was plenty of food for us. From the Mazzes, we had the Omani Shrimp, which had a great dipping sauce and the Beet Carpaccio. (they were very accommodating and put the whipped feta on the side). For the Spreads, we did the hummus with mushroom, shisito and egg, which was amazing and the labneh with pickled fennel on the top. It's served with taftoun bread which I would describe as a mix of a cracker and pita with sesame on top. We also enjoyed a raw vegetable dish with radish and the most delicious apple slices. Their heirloom tomato salad was beautifully presented and plentiful. They had a flight of condiments and we were able to sample zhoug, spicy tahina and torshi, which was a mixture of pickled vegetables. We ended with a pistachio lava cake with the most delicious cardamon gelato. Overall, we had an amazing meal in their beautiful outdoor space, and we thought the food was really reasonably priced. There's something for everyone on this menu whether you're vegetarian, vegan or a meat eater.

The service has always been really great, and the owner is genuinely nice and always ready for a pleasant conversation. But sometimes the food comes out... average at best? I really only come here when I have the taste for mediterranean fare but don't feel like cooking it since it's so nearby. There are some things they do well. I like their baba ganoush, hummus, and beet salad. But other things are a bit lackluster and the meats can be a hit or miss. Sometimes it's dry, other times it's succulent. The pita is toasted, but you can surely tell it isn't made fresh. My husband is obsessed with wings and even he said the wings served here are a BIG no. Also cannot recommend the fries, as they've been notoriously dry and cold. Perhaps we should not have expected good wings given that it's primarily mediterranean fare lol. The parking situation is also abysmal. They share a really small lot and the individual spots are poorly marked. This place is off of Briarcliff and the traffic is notorious for being bad, so that makes coming and going that much harder in a lot that's already a little treacherous. When the parking lot is full, it is like playing 2-ton Tetris. I'll also note that the hours can sometimes be a suggestion, and they unexpectedly close earlier than indicated (but will leave a handwritten note). This place seems to be a local favorite. The prices are nice. I just wish it was more reliable with taste and quality.

The Iskender Kebab and the Muhammara were the best of the bunch, but overall I think I was expecting more punch from the spices and greater nuance in the flavors of each dish. The thing I honestly enjoyed most was the complimentary bread and sun-dried tomato dip, which has gotten a number of shoutouts of Yelp already. I would come back to this spot to get a handful of appetizers, eat that bread, and hang out for a few hours. It does seem like the restaurant needs more staffing. Everyone we saw was very kind, but it took a long time to get a server's attention whenever we needed something.
