5 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Singapore (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Thorne Savarin
By Thorne Savarin, Culinary Explorer · ✓ Data verified August 2026 · 8 min read

Mediterranean restaurants in Singapore run heavily Turkish, and Kampong Glam's Bussorah Street alone accounts for most of the names here. Between them these restaurants have logged over 25,400 Google reviews, and Cappadocia's alone hold more than 7,700, so the neighbourhood has clearly earned its reputation as the city's Mediterranean strip.

Short answer: Cappadocia Turkish & Mediterranean Restaurant leads by volume with 4.7 stars across 7,705 reviews, the most of any Mediterranean restaurant here. Anatolia Restaurant and Ayasofya Turkish Restaurant both hold 4.8, with Anatolia's bone marrow and Ayasofya's mandy rice among the most-praised dishes.

Cappadocia Turkish & Mediterranean Restaurant

4.77,705 Google reviews

Cappadocia Turkish & Mediterranean Restaurant, on Bussorah Street in Kampong Glam, has reopened under new management since March 2022, serving traditional Turkish cuisine from kebabs and flatbreads to mezze and baklava. It sits within Kampong Glam's historic Arab Street enclave, long known for Turkish, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dining. The restaurant leans into its street-side, bustling character rather than a quiet fine-dining setup.

What people praise

  • Kebabs and grilled meats consistently named the standout dishes
  • Generous portions reviewers repeatedly call worth the price
  • Friendly, approachable staff mentioned across reviews
  • Cozy atmosphere despite the busy Bussorah Street location

Worth knowing

  • Parking near Bussorah Street can be genuinely difficult
  • Some rice or lamb dishes noted as slightly overcooked on individual visits

Anatolia Restaurant ( Turkish and Lebanese Food)

4.85,408 Google reviews

Anatolia Restaurant, also on Arab Street, blends Turkish and Lebanese cuisine, with a mezze platter spanning hummus, moutabel, baba ganoush, dolma and muhammara, plus a signature bone marrow dish reviewers consistently call the standout of the meal. The restaurant runs a full mixed grill for sharing, and its kunefe dessert draws repeat visits on its own. It's positioned as a first-time-visitor-friendly spot given the range on its mixed platters.

What people praise

  • Bone marrow named the standout dish by multiple reviewers
  • Mezze platter offers strong variety for first-time visitors
  • Kunefe dessert draws people back on its own
  • Warm hospitality, including complimentary desserts and tea

Worth knowing

  • A few reviewers found individual dishes slightly under-seasoned relative to expectations

Our take: Tied for the highest rating on this list at 4.8, and the strongest pick if variety and a genuine standout dish (the bone marrow) matter more than volume.

Ayasofya Turkish Restaurant

4.84,729 Google reviews

Ayasofya Turkish Restaurant, on Bussorah Street, is known for its lamb and chicken mandy served over fragrant rice, alongside a mixed grill and Turkish apple tea reviewers repeatedly single out. Multiple reviews name the restaurant manager directly for his personal, welcoming hospitality, suggesting a genuinely hands-on operation rather than a large chain. It's positioned for both business travellers and family dinners.

What people praise

  • Lamb and chicken mandy named the standout dishes repeatedly
  • Personal, attentive service from named staff across many reviews
  • Turkish apple tea consistently called a must-order
  • Suitable for groups, with reviews describing parties of 10-plus

Worth knowing

  • One larger group found the overall experience solid but not exceptional at 7.5/10
  • Ambience described as comfortable rather than especially polished

#4🕑 Open 7 days

BAKALAKI Greek Taverna

4.54,411 Google reviews

BAKALAKI Greek Taverna, on Martin Road, is a large, deli-inspired Greek restaurant sourcing traditional ingredients directly from Greek suppliers, alongside a curated selection of Greek wines and beers. The kitchen runs seafood specialities, grilled meats and a kebab kalamaki reviewers call the standout dish. It's the only dedicated Greek option among the largely Turkish-leaning names on this list.

What people praise

  • Kebab kalamaki and halloumi repeatedly named standout dishes
  • Genuine Greek sourcing for deli products and wine
  • Attentive, well-paced service noted across multiple reviews
  • Large enough space for bigger groups and celebrations

Worth knowing

Alaturka Mediterranean & Turkish Restaurant

4.63,198 Google reviews

Alaturka Mediterranean & Turkish Restaurant, on Bussorah Street, has served Turkish and East Mediterranean food since 2005 and holds a Michelin Guide Singapore Bib Gourmand distinction from 2016. It grinds its own meat blends, smokes its own eggplants and prepares dough fresh daily, and its supreme sampler platter and kunefe dessert are the menu's clearest signatures.

What people praise

  • Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition, a genuine external accolade
  • Kunefe and the supreme sampler platter consistently named standouts
  • Made-from-scratch approach: own meat blends, smoked eggplant, fresh dough
  • Proactive communication, including WhatsApp reservation reminders

Watch: 5 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Singapore (2026)

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is the restaurant’s live Google star average. Review volume measures how many diners have rated it, ranked against other Mediterranean restaurants in Singapore. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from thousands of diners counts for more than a 4.8 from a few hundred. Recency reflects how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a meal cost at these Mediterranean restaurants in Singapore? (2026)

Pricing varies by format, a mezze and shared-plates dinner costs less than a full mixed grill or sampler platter for the table. None of the restaurants publish a fixed per-person rate, so ask when you book.

Serving all of Singapore

Three of these restaurants cluster on or near Bussorah Street in Kampong Glam’s Arab Street enclave, with BAKALAKI out on Martin Road near the Singapore River. Searching for Mediterranean restaurants near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and address so you can check availability before you go.

What to ask before you book

  • Do you take reservations, and how far ahead for a weekend dinner?
  • Is the mezze or sampler platter sized for our group?
  • Do you serve halal food, and is the whole menu halal-certified?
  • What’s the kitchen’s signature dish tonight?
  • Is there a minimum spend for a group booking?
  • Do you offer complimentary tea or dessert for special occasions?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these restaurants?

We started from Mediterranean restaurants in Singapore with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Is there a Greek option on this list, or is it all Turkish?

BAKALAKI Greek Taverna is the one dedicated Greek restaurant here; Cappadocia, Anatolia, Ayasofya and Alaturka all lean Turkish or Turkish-Lebanese.

Which of these has a Michelin recognition?

Alaturka Mediterranean & Turkish Restaurant holds a Michelin Guide Singapore Bib Gourmand distinction, awarded in 2016.

The bottom line

Cappadocia is the safe default given its scale and central Kampong Glam location, while Alaturka is the pick if a Michelin-recognised, made-from-scratch kitchen matters most. Book ahead for weekend dinners on Bussorah Street especially.
