Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Franklin Park

We went to labebe for our 3rd anniversary, after our vacation had been compromised when our airbnb lost power and running water. Labebe turned our whole day around, and then some. We were looking for the best of the best, to have an experience worth remembering for the whole year, and that is exactly what we got. We got the beef croquettes, and the hummus to start. That was our first time having wagyu, and everything was fantastic, I do not usually do well with fried foods but you can tell with this one they use clean oil, so I did not feel sick from the breading at all, and I usually feel sick from one mozzarella stick. The staff came over to us so frequently we forgot who our original server was, and they had very extensive knowledge enough to help us with a recommended wine just based on a flavor we requested. We then got the prime filet mignons, 2 8 oz steaks, and we had been searching for a steak better than one we had been talking about since our honeymoon, and we finally found it at Labebe. It came out so juicy, and so warm in the middle, with a pepper for added spice if we want it and a sweet onion for added sweetness if we want it, and a little mushroom sauce. we didn't need any of that. We ate the whole steak as it was, because it was too good to sully with extra flavors. They then brought out a pallet cleanser lemon Italian before dessert, which we got the cheese cake and the lava cake, both fantastic as well. Will definitely be going again for our special occasions.

The restaurant is beautiful and the service is fantastic. The appetizers and drinks we had were awesome but thr entrees were lacking with overcooked proteins. We wouls go back again just for drinks and apps.

This was our first time dining at this restaurant. Murat, pardon the spelling, was very attentive, kind, and delightful. There was very nice background music of cover songs, and the place was clean and well decorated in the Mediterranean theme. The food was incredibly fresh, and the presentation was visually appealing. The menu was very unique and had a lot of options. The only downside was that the portions of protein were not very substantial. Other than that, this place was fantastic and we are looking forward to returning and would recommend everyone give it a try!

Mediterra is hands down our favorite restaurant in Princeton. The servers are attentive and helpful, the bartenders and chefs are top notch, and we've never ordered anything off their pleasing menu we didn't love. Their pastaless lasagna (a vegetarian dish) is the best I've ever had anywhere (and I'm not even vegetarian.) Their homemade whole grain bread is outstanding (as is the seasoned olive oil they serve as an accompaniment) and we always enjoy their shellfish, cocktails and seafood, too. Plus, they're open all day, for those who like later lunches and they have a great dog-friendly outdoor seating area with heaters for cooler days. My only complaint, if you can call it that, is that I do so wish they'd bring back their delectable mushroom tacos and continue the vegan menu they offered last month, as we have many vegan friends we'd like to invite. That said, they are very accommodating about making adjustments to existing offerings where they can. Oh, and fabulous cocktails and wine menu too.

The food is delicious and the staff are really nice. We had a great time and will definitely be going back!
