Good foods, good drinks and good people. Have the best lamb and ribs, surprisingly good! Dessert also so yum! Glad to make it here.

There were two of us dinning and our one year old toddler. This place was amazing! So glad google recommended it to us. We ordered one platter and an extra bowl of pickles. I am so impressed with how authentic and wonderful the food is, as someone who had fresh Mediterranean food while I was overseas. The platter was way more than we could eat at one time, with many choices of salad mixes to choose from.

Reservations recommended. The food was delicious. Three of us shared four small plates and our hunger was satisfied. The staff is really friendly. And, dogs on a leash are allowed on the patio where they offer seating. I hope to go again soon and recommend them.

Oh how I love Culinaria. I’ve been here a handful of times and it offers a surprise each time, while remaining consistently delicious. Tonight, the surprise was the Korean potatoes—an incredible blend of garlic and gochugang flavor. We almost ordered a 2nd batch for dessert!

My new favorite restaurant! Everything about Culinaria was wonderful. We got the fried chicken hummus bowl and Brussels sprouts for appetizer and they were both outstanding! My dinner was the chicken shawarma which was flavorful and light. My husband had the pork belly special, magical! Our server was kind and attentive. I can’t wait to go back and sit out on the patio!

Truly amazing Greek/Mediterranean Cuisine! If you’re not sure what to order, you can’t go wrong with the chicken shawarma or the fried chicken hummus! Everything is delicious!!

I’m kinda disappointed with food here. Everything is very salty. Some appetizers were good and braised beef was soft and tasty but rice was salty. Nice place and good services.

My first visit here was during Restaurant Week (Feb 18-27, 2022). I tried their chicken special and it did NOT disappoint! The Mediterranean flavors melded together so well and the chicken was fall apart tender. They do have outdoor seating during warm months. The inside is a classic limestone and concrete finish with cute decor. Great place for date night or just catching up with a friend. I would recommend anyone give this place a try!
