Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Lenox Hill

A Yorkville Turkish dining room that leans into generous mezze, steady kebab execution, and a menu that rewards classic ordering over novelty. Best nights land when you anchor with one grilled protein plus one bright cold-meze spread, then finish with something honey-and-nutty.

A long-running Yorkville Persian staple built around saffron rice, slow-simmered stews, and straightforward kebab plates in a calm, old-school room. It’s at its best when you commit to one signature khoresh plus one skewer for contrast, then add a shared dip to start.

A casual Upper East Side Greek stop built for fast, satisfying plates that still read fresh when you keep the order simple. The move is one grilled skewer plate or gyro, plus one classic side so the meal lands bright instead of heavy.

A polished, newer Upper East Side Mediterranean room that leans brunch-forward and menu-wide variety, with the best results coming from decisive picks instead of breadth. Go with one egg-forward signature plus one savory plate and a shared spread so the table feels cohesive.
