Phoenix Mediterranean Restaurant
With Phoenix’s great mix of ethnic food all around the city, there is bound to be a couple great Mediterranean restaurants in Phoenix. And there definitely are, with most of the Phoenix Mediterranean restaurants featuring southern Italian, Greek & Middle-eastern food. To put it into perspective, any Mediterranean restaurant you visit in Phoenix will not only have Mediterranean classics such as breaded lamb and Greek gyros, but also Middle-Eastern food staples such as falafels and hummus. This article intends on highlighting the absolute greatest Mediterranean restaurants in all of Phoenix.
Hands down, one of the best Mediterranean restaurants in Phoenix has to be Eden’s Grill. For starters, try their delicious hummus that’s served with their homemade pita bread. If you’re eating there with more than one person, don’t hesitate to try their combination platters that come with different types of doner kebab with Bismati rice and vegetables. For lunch, they serve smaller portions of their kabobs and gyros for very affordable prices. Eden’s Grill also caters towards the vegetarian crowd with numerous vegetarian plates and dishes.
The second Mediterranean restaurant in Phoenix that should be mentioned is Pita Jungle. While it is a chain restaurant with locations all over the Valley, don’t let that mislead you. In addition to their wonderful variety of pita sandwiches, Pita Jungle also happens to serve surprisingly authentic Mediterranean cuisine as well. If you’re in the mood for anything pita, try their Mediterranean roasted chicken shawarma or one of their wood-fired pizzas on pita bread. If on the hunt for actual Mediterranean cuisine, you’ll be pleased with either the chicken putanesca or wood-fired fresh salmon. Be sure to check out their surprisingly respectable wine list, too.
When one thinks of the Mediterranean they imagine beautiful Italian and Greek coasts, delicious food and sunny weather. While Phoenix is far away from anything remotely as beautiful as something like the Mediterranean coast, Eden’s Grill and the Pita Jungle do a wonderful job of exporting the great Mediterranean taste and bringing it to the city of Phoenix.
