Aba Austin · South Congress
Aba's leafy patio beneath an old oak tree is the main draw at this South Congress Mediterranean restaurant. Start with warm pita and whipped hummus, then consider the shawarma-spiced skirt steak. The room is buzzy, but the cooking can be uneven; plan ahead if you want a patio table.
Ezov · East Austin
Chef Berty Richter's Ezov is a Michelin-recognized Eastern Mediterranean kitchen in East Austin built around mezze and seasonal sharing plates. Hummus, laffa fresh from the oven, and vegetable-forward dishes anchor a menu that shifts with the seasons. It is an intimate, ingredient-driven room that punches well above its size and reads as one of the city's most thoughtful Mediterranean tables.
MezzeMe · Central Austin
MezzeMe is a Turkish Mediterranean spot on West Guadalupe serving charcoal-grilled kebabs, mezze, and build-your-own plates over rice or salad. Doner, hummus, and stuffed grape leaves make an easy fast-casual lunch. A second Austin location followed the original, widening the choices for a quick meal built around grilled meat.
Yamas Greek Restaurant · North Austin
Yamas is a North Austin Greek kitchen and bar serving moussaka, souvlaki, and grilled octopus. Spreads, saganaki, and lemony roast potatoes fill out a menu suited to sharing. Ouzo and Greek wine complete the meal in a lively, blue-and-white taverna room.
Cafe Malta · South Austin
Cafe Malta serves a seasonal Mediterranean menu on West William Cannon Drive. Italian gnocchi, Lebanese hummus, and Moroccan spices show the kitchen's range. The unpretentious bistro setting makes it a neighborhood dinner choice in South Austin.
