The Best Mediterranean Food in Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County
A current guide to Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Spanish menus across the county.
Mediterranean is a broad description, not a single restaurant style. In Washtenaw County it covers Levantine counter service, Lebanese grills, Spanish tapas, and French restaurants whose menus draw on the same coastline. This guide keeps those categories visible and sends readers to current restaurant sources for menus, hours, and prices.
Ann Arbor
Jerusalem Garden, 314 E Liberty St, is a downtown Middle Eastern restaurant. Its official contact page confirms the address; the restaurant's live menu is the source for current falafel, shawarma, mezze, and platter options.
Pita Kabob Grill, 529 E Liberty St, is another downtown option for pita sandwiches, kabobs, dips, and vegetarian plates. Verify the current menu and hours with the restaurant before visiting.
Aventura, 216 E Washington St, brings Spanish tapas and a sherry-focused drinks program to downtown. The official site has the current menu, reservations, and service schedule.
La Serre at The Vanguard, 201 Glen Ave, is a French brasserie in the Vanguard hotel. The Vanguard dining page is the source for current menus and reservations. It belongs in a Mediterranean guide as a French coastal interpretation, not as a Lebanese or Greek restaurant.
Sava's, 216 S State St, serves a broad menu that includes Mediterranean-influenced plates alongside brunch and American dishes. Use the official site for current offerings and hours.
Ypsilanti and Dexter
Casablanca, 2333 Washtenaw Ave, Ypsilanti, offers Lebanese and Middle Eastern dishes. Confirm the current menu and service details directly; older prices and item lists should not be assumed current.
La Marsa, 7049 Dexter Ann Arbor Rd, Dexter, is part of the Michigan Lebanese restaurant group. The company site lists locations and current menus. Check the Dexter location before driving, since group menus and hours can differ by restaurant.
