Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Ozone Park

Tonight, I had the extraordinary pleasure of dining at MELI, and it was nothing short of a Mediterranean masterpiece! From the moment I walked in, the restaurant’s lively energy, warm lighting, and chic decor set the tone for an unforgettable culinary experience. We began with an irresistible array of appetizers—golden, tender calamari and kolokythokeftedes that were crisp on the outside, yet bursting with flavor on the inside. Each bite was a perfect introduction to what was yet to come. For my main course, I chose the lamb chops, and they were simply divine. Perfectly cooked, impossibly tender, and infused with aromatic spices, they were paired with golden Greek fries that added just the right crunch. My friend’s veal chop was equally impressive—rich, succulent, and layered with mouthwatering flavor. The service elevated the entire evening. George, our server, was an absolute delight—attentive, warm, and a true wine aficionado. His recommendations paired so perfectly with our meal that it felt like the flavors danced together. And then, the grand finale: baklava. Sweet, flaky, and drenched in just the right amount of honey, it was the ultimate indulgence to end an extraordinary dinner. MELI isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a destination for Mediterranean food lovers. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out on a true gem.

Excellent food and service. Convenient location. Attractive decor. Manager was willing to turn down the very loud music so that we were able to converse.

I always go back to Mesiba. the food is AMAZING and the service is very good as well.

Excellent service and excellent food! Always a great experience!
