Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Cedarhurst

excellent food small restaurant but great service

From start to finish, our experience at Philia Restaurant in East Meadow was absolutely unforgettable! My friends and I (two couples) decided to celebrate Valentine’s Day here, and we were blown away by the incredible food, atmosphere, and top-notch service. The owners, Luis & Diego, went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and taken care of. Their attention to detail and warm hospitality truly made the evening special. We kicked off our meal by sharing an incredible variety of appetizers: Calamari, Grilled Octopus, Salad, Oysters, and Huge Shrimp Cocktails. Each dish was better than the last—everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. For dinner, we shared the Lamb Chops, Steak, Sole, and Seafood Pasta, and it was all absolutely delicious. The Lamb Chops were perfectly cooked and tender, and the Seafood Pasta had a rich, flavorful sauce that was to die for. To finish the night off, we had the Cheesecake, and it was the perfect ending to an already amazing meal—smooth, creamy, and a perfect balance of sweetness. I can’t recommend Philia Restaurant enough! The food is outstanding, the service is exceptional, and the ambiance is warm and inviting. We will definitely be back for another amazing dining experience. Luis & Diego truly make this place shine!

Great place for date. Food was nice vibes were great

My Family and I celebrated my wife’s birthday here and we loved the food and service as well and as the friendly staff. Fonda was hospitable and had some entertaining stories to tell which made for a very enjoyable evening

Excellent food. Lamb shank was superior. Tiny gem in a random strip mall.
