2010 - Best Middle Eastern Restaurant

Readers’ Pick:

Paymon’s Mediterranean Cafe

Multiple locations

Rating: +20 (from 32 votes)

Readers have helped Paymon’s grow over the years from a humble storefront on Maryland Parkway to a bigger restaurant and hookah lounge on Maryland Parkway, then the addition of a west-side location and now one downtown. And through the years, it has been a reliable source for consistently good food from across the Mediterranean. Marrakech Moroccan Restaurant is a distant second.

Our Pick:

Ibo Turkish Restaurant

9755 W. Flamingo Road

Rating: +1 (from 13 votes)

That the Mediterranean region is an expansive, diverse place has been driven home by the variety of restaurants with that self-proclaimed designation that have opened in the valley during the past couple of years. There are plenty of differences and similarities among their cuisines, but Ibo serves it up better than many, and in a serene, refined atmosphere.
