Best Croatian Restaurant Berkeley Near Me

4worldlovers:
Consistently voted “Best Middle Eastern” and “Best Mediterranean” in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Located in the heart of Berkeley’s Elmwood community, La Méditeranée has been a family and local favorite for generations of diners. Since 1982, our award winning Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes, such as meza plates, hummos, kebabs, and fillos, are made from scratch daily. Founder Levon Der Bedrossian and his cousin Garbis opened “Cafe La Med” with the goal of serving good food in a pleasant environment, with warm and friendly service. Our Mid-East and Mediterranean cuisine is inspired by chef Levon’s Armenian and Lebanese family recipes. Family owned and operated, we offer dinner, lunch, & brunch, as well as a daily happy hour, dining on our popular heated patio, and catering delivery & pickup. Anoush Ella! (May it be Sweet!)”

Our full menu, including specials from our wine list is now available. We also offer local Catering delivery for boxed meals or family style platters.

La Mediterranée wishes to take a strong stance in support of racial justice in America. We acknowledge that we must prioritize and commit ourselves to advancing racial equity as an organizational imperative. We welcome all people from all backgrounds as our customers and as members of our team. Nearly every management position at La Mediterranée is held either by a person of color, a woman, a member of the LGBTQ community, or a person of immigrant background. Our extensive charity work, donations, and fundraisers support a myriad of diverse causes in the community. We also know that commitment without greater action is meaningless to those most impacted by racism.

La Mediterranée stands in solidarity with those protesting systemic racism on the frontlines and from home. We believe that racism has no place in the restaurant industry or in our country.

These are a few of the actions we are taking today (read more) …

We offer Very Tasty, Filling Meal made with Daily Fresh Produce


From UC Berkeley’s North and south Gates, Dyar Mediterranean Cuisine offer fresh made-to-order wraps and plates.


"Their falafels (btw, I recommend the Falafel Deluxe) MELT IN YOUR MOUTH, and it is amazing."


The pita bread is soft and lightly grilled, and the plates come with hummus, salad and rice."

"I've only tried the Chicken Shawarma plate and from my experience, it tasted great!"

I got the chicken shawarma with rice on the side. It came down to about $7.50, and I wasn't disappointed at all. The plate comes with a scoop of seasoned rice, chicken shawarma, a small salad, 4 pita bread triangles, and hummus spread.

The bread and hummus complement each other nicely. The salad comes with ranch dressing, and it's not too special (lettuce, grape tomatoes). And last but certainly not least, the chicken shawarma. IT'S REALLY FLAVORFUL. The red onions and spices that come with the meat are excellent flavor boosters. Just go try it for yourself. You won't be disappointed. Overall, you get a tasty, filling meal for a reasonable price.

I'm a huge fan of Mediterranean food now because of D'Yar. I have been introduced to the wonderful world of schawarmas and falafels. The food here is delicious and incredibly filling. If you go around peak times (ie. lunch time and dinner time) you'll have difficulty finding a seat inside the restaurant so I recommend just getting your food to go.
