We ate at Cafe Mediterranean Saturday night and it was sooooo good! 5 Stars! I had Beef Kababs that were soooo tender they melted in my mouth! Sam had lamb chops- they give you 5 of them! TJ had Swordfish and Sammy had Iskander Kabab-Marinated spiced lamb, sipes and casic over pita, yogurt and fresh tomato sauce. We all got a grilled tomato, grilled pepper, nice grilled veggies and a scoop of basmatti rice. Everyone really enjoyed everysingle bite! For an appitizer we had Sucuklu Hummus (Hummus with Turkish Sausage)with fresh homemade bread (We ate like 5 baskets full!!) and for desert Sammy and I had the best Baklava EVER!! Hands down THE BEST!!! TJ had a rice pudding pot and Sam had this vanilla custard typr thing topped with chocolate sauce and I think espresso powder? Oh they also enjoyed the real Turkish coffee. When I visited Turkey I noticed meals were about celebration. The whole family getting together and enjoying eachothers company for HOURS. This was no exception. This is not fast food. You are meant to spend the time enjoying eachothers company as much as the food over a course of hours. Not to scarf it all down in 10minutes but, to savor the fellowship of both friends and family as well as the flavors and love and care that went in to making each esquisite dish. The service is very attentive and will keep your glass full at all times. The owner greets you at the door and makes his way from table to table throughout the night and his gratitude for your business shows in his warmth. Even your check comes in a little wooden treasure chest! We dined on the patio but, the inside looks beautiful as well and I have heard they have a Belly Dancer as well some nights. Don't miss out! We will be back!. Teşekkür ederim biz geri dönecek

Just happened upon this gem of a restaurant. Beautiful decor, excellent presentation of food and taste, attentive staff. Appetizers, entrees and desert were all superb! Highly recommend to anyone who loves Mediterranean cuisine. Definitely be back.
I’ve been to Cafe Mediterranean many times and it truly never disappoints. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is great. I’ve only eaten inside once because the little outdoor patio is so lovely. It’s a great place for fresh and healthy Mediterranean food. I came on my birthday and the owner gave me a complimentary dessert. The Iskender Kebab will forever be my favorite dish.
Excellent place! I wish I knew about it before! Lamb kebabs - fantastic, juicy like in Turkey. Extremely hospitable staff. Pistachio bakhlava - out of this world. Highly recommended!
We absolutely love this restaurant and especially the owner who treats us as family. We literally crave this food and have quickly become a “regular”. The food is to die for. We recommend trying everything on the menu as it is each unique yet healthy and delicious. I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. We come here at least once a week. I highly recommend Café Mediterranean to everyone!!
The BEST Greek and Turkish food in greater Cincinnati. This restaurant features authentic cuisine that the Turkish owner has lovingly shared.
Their tabouleh and dolma (stuffed grape leaves) are *chefs kiss.* The bread was fresh out of the oven steaming.
Finish off with Baklava prepared in a homemade style and Turkish coffee. Finally, enjoy the wooden chests they present the bill in. Could not be more happier to have a place like this in Cincinnati.
Outside patio dining is available and metered street parking.
Enjoyed a really fabulous meal here! Husband had the special “whole” fish branzino which he said was one of the best he had. I loved my stuffed cabbage dinner . Food is fresh, authentic and elegantly presented. Atmosphere is really nice and staff and owner were so friendly and engaging. They even offered us complimentary flan style dessert with
tea in the cutest glass cups. Absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!
Excellent Turkish food, great service with smile! My son and I enjoyed our lunch and just hang out. We recommend this restaurant to anyone is looking for great food.
I have see. Few reviews with low rating, one was for the Turkish coffee and the price. The person made the comment didn’t understand Turkish coffee doesn’t come in large cup; it is very strong and always comes in small cups.
If you haven’t tried Cafe Mediterranean Hyde Park, you’re missing on some amazing food and great service.Our biggest critic (our 7 year old girl) loved the food too.We went there for our 15 years anniversary and I wanted to try more the one kinda grill meat.The chef put together a very tasty family size girl mix which was not on the menu. Thank you chef!! Was delicious 🤤Appetizers didn’t disappoint either.
I highly recommend this place. I can’t wait to go back soon. Don’t forget to try some of the best baklava and super good complimentary tea.

I am glad we came here for dinner. This is the first time for me to have Turkish food and it was quite nice.
We chose the sampler for starters which was larger than expected, but delicious. Every portion had a different texture, flavour and colour so was quite nice. The beef kebab was extremely tender and very nice. Portions are quite large so between the two of us the appetizer, kebab, and smaller portion of baklava was perfect. If you are not used to the huge amount of food they serve in America, I highly recommend NOT ordering one entree for each person; sharing is the way to go.
The live musician, and the ambiance overall were excellent, and the Turkish coffee (without the sugar) was a great way to end the meal.
Service was great, the server attendant to our needs, and the owner very friendly and happy. It was interesting to see one of the employees continuously walking around with a broom and a dust tray and sweeping up the fluff and bits of food that find their way to the floor.
I found the receipt in the treasure box to be a fascinating and practical cultural practice. Rather than leaving change etc on the table, you put it in the velvet-lined box and it gets whisked away.
A hidden gem, my family and I ate there for lunch and the two gentlemen were a delight! We were served complimentary hummus and bread — fresh and delicious, in addition to our main entrees!
Highly recommended for both the warm hospitality and wonderful food!
