Maria's Mediterranean

My friend and I had a wonderful lunch at Maria Mediterranean today. We arrived around 2:15 pm and stayed for a couple of hours. The restaurant has plenty of seating — tables for 2, 4, and 6, plus bar seating. Some tables were taken, but it was not crowded at all, which made for a very relaxed experience. For drinks, I had a Dubai Chocolate Martini, and my friend enjoyed a Margarita. We shared appetizers — fried calamari and stuffed portobello. The calamari portion was very generous, easily enough for two people to share, tender and perfectly cooked. The portobello was one large mushroom, flavorful and nicely prepared. For entrées, I ordered bifteki (pork, beef, and lamb ground with herbs) and lemon potatoes, and my friend had chicken souvlaki, also with lemon potatoes. Everything was abso

Me and my wife suddenly wanted to try Mediterranean food in bayside, ny, and I found this local family owned and operated restaurant, the owner was super friendly and greeted us with smile and a little chat before taken us to the table. We ordered whole red snapper, beef on skewers and stuffed clams, all seafood was delicious and fresh, it’s like just out of the sea.

This is a long overdue review for Maria’s Mediterranean — and it is so well deserved. I’ve ordered catering twice for family gatherings, and both experiences were exceptional from beginning to end. From the very first phone call to discuss the menu, the team was warm, patient, and incredibly helpful in guiding me through the options. They really listened and made thoughtful recommendations that fit our group perfectly. The setup at the venue was seamless and professional, and most importantly — the food was a true crowd pleaser. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Guests kept going back for seconds and asking where the food was from! If you’re looking for reliable, flavorful Mediterranean catering that makes hosting feel easy and stress-free, Maria’s Medi
