South Bay Mediterranean Kitchen

South Bay Mediterranean Kitchen is a hidden gem in Boston for fresh, flavorful Mediterranean cuisine. I ordered the lamb kebab platter — the lamb was tender, perfectly seasoned, and paired beautifully with the rice, hummus, and fresh salad. The portions are generous and well worth the price. I also tried their falafel — crispy on the outside, soft inside, and not greasy at all. The pita bread was warm and fluffy, a perfect complement to the dips. The space is clean, modern, and comfortable, making it a great spot for both quick lunches and relaxed dinners. Service was friendly and attentive, with staff happy to explain menu options. If you’re craving authentic Mediterranean food in Boston, South Bay Mediterranean Kitchen should be on your list. The flavors are bold, ingredients are fresh, and everything is made to order. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu!

Ordered lunch pre-fix with a great selection diversity. The pear and Gorgonzola salad was fresh, with nice acidic flavors that opens up your appetite. Also, did I mention their bread was toasted and fluffy? The catch of the day is a must order! Super fresh, tender, excellent execution by the chef. Perhaps can improve by contrast the richness with a tad of acidity. Overall had a fantastic time and this restaurant is definitely a gem at downtown New Haven.

Visited South Bay recently and was completely disappointed. The restaurant was unbearably hot and humid — made dining really uncomfortable. The staff were unfriendly and totally unhelpful, acting like they didn’t want to be there at all. As for the food, it was honestly the worst I’ve had in a long time. The calamari and fries both tasted old and greasy, like they’d been sitting around forever. The pasta was salty and watery, making it almost inedible. Definitely not worth the price or the experience. Would not recommend!

Ordered delivery, so I cannot opine on the service or atmosphere. However, the portion sizes are laughably small. I ordered the hangar steak (see below), which consisted of 5 bite sized pieces of meat. The quality of meat and taste were ok, but certainly did not justify the 20 dollar price tag. The rest of the dishes were similarly overpriced and mediocre quality at best.

I took my hubby here today for Father's Day. Wanted to try something new. The Place is nicely decorated. We were seated right away. We started with drinks and hubby had a blackberry mojito which was 😋. I had a tasty white wine. We ordered grilled Octopus to start with. It was perfectly cooked and tasty. But did need a bit of salt. We ordered three entrees. The meals did need some salt, the Hanger Steak was nicely seasoned. There was an issue with one of our meals but they were so polite and accommodating. They changed it out and really took care of us. Such great staff. Ultimately their perfect courtesy saved the Father's Day dinner. Would definitely be back to try some other things on the menu that sound tasty. 😁

This is a wonderful restaurant with wonderful and tasty food, as well as very good service. We had a very nice waiter who treated us with great attention - this is a big plus! Very nice atmosphere inside, but we decided to enjoy the last warm days and sat outside. And now I’m ready to share with you how delicious the food was prepared by the magic chef and his team. It was delicious!!!! I ordered myself the most tender, juicy lamb ribs - words cannot describe how delicious it was! My friend ordered fettuccine, she thoroughly enjoyed it and said that it was the best fettuccine she had ever eaten. My friend’s husband took mussels in a delicious red sauce. Oh God, it was just incredibly delicious! And the youngest son ordered himself a salad of arugula and octopus - it was light, with a pleasant mild taste and balanced seasonings, he was enjoyed it, it was delicious! They don't have kids menu but we ordered finger food for my 4 year old son, thanks very much to our waiter because he recommended it. It was cute little burgers with fries and it was delicious. I cannot give an objective assessment of this restaurant because there is no such number for it, it’s for sure more than 5 stars!!! We had great time and enjoyed our food!!!! Thanks to your chef and his team!!! Thanks to your service staff, they do a great job!!! Highly recommend!!!!

10 out of five this establishment was absolutely perfect from the beautiful clean, classy environment down to the food and every single employee. Everything was perfect. I tasted flavors in the dishes that I ate that I’ve never even had before. This was one of the best birthday dinners our family has had. They went out of their way to make it special at the end of the evening for my daughter. Absolutely amazing!

Ok, this place saved me. He food was delicious and well made and well presented, but it wasn’t pretentious. The bartender was lovely and talented and took good care of me as a customer. The atmosphere was welcoming and calming. I loved it. I’d return for the food and staff.
