Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Northgate

Had a wonderful dinner out with girlfriends here. Easy to order family style and share dishes, loved the squash and chicken. Server was helpful, recommending items and came to check on us regularly without being overbearing.

The food, as always, was wonderful. My o Lu complaint is the timing of the food coming out of the kitchen. Everything came at the same time! We ordered pita and spreads. We thought those would come first and we could enjoy them with our first glass of wine. As it was - everything arrived together. Not ideal. We ordered espresso with our dessert. It came and then we waited and waited for dessert. Espresso was cold by the time it came out. They could work on their timing!

My family and I had a fantastic experience at Ada's. This was my first visit and I will absolutely be returning. My initial draw was the Beef Manti, which was a dish I loved when traveling in Turkey years and years ago. We enjoyed the muhammara, Greek fries, the Turkish Shephard's Choban salad, the beef manti (as delicious as I hoped!), eggplant stuffed with ground beef, and a more Italian style dish of chicken in a mushroom cream sauce. We also tried 3 desserts: the baklava, the rice pudding, and the poached pear. All were fantastic and presented a great variety of textures and flavors to share among a group. The ambience was warm and cozy for a cold fall evening and it wasn't overly loud in the restaurant (some background music at a reasonable volume). Tips/Notes: I thought the portions were enormous. 2 of us could've split one order of the Beef Manti. The salad was plenty to share. Every single person in our group had about 50% of their meal to take home. You'll enjoy the value if you have a big appetite, but otherwise would recommend starting with a few dishes to share and adding more as you go. We were seated at a high top table which I was initially worried about because they can be really uncomfortable. Thankfully the chairs / available foot rests made the seating quite comfortable, but I recommend you request a regular table as needed based on your party's physical needs/comfort.

I have not been to this restaurant for probably 20 years. I was not disappointed. Our server was very professional but fun. The food was excellent. The restaurant was packed and full of energy. My only complaint the entire evening is it took quite awhile to have someone come over to take our initial drink order and it took some time after that to get our drinks (pet peeve). After that, the service was flawless and our group of 6 enjoyed our time there very much. I will not wait another 20 years to return!

Papardalle Bolognese and the Sausage Gnocci were both wonderful. The Charcuterie was a good amount too! Service was great!
