Our Westchester County Mom contributors live all over this beautiful county. Each of us knows our own corners well, and as a team, we love being able to share our collective resources and knowledge of Westchester County with our readers.
A common question on social media, especially in parenting groups, is for local restaurant recommendations. As Westchester County is home to many incredible restaurants, our contributor team is excited to share our faves!
This month we are spotlighting our top choices for some Mediterranean cuisines. From Mount Kisco to White Plains to Armonk to Bronxville…we’ve got you covered with some delicious choices for Greek, Israeli, and Georgian food!
Bena’s Pick:
Erin’s Picks:
Meraki Taverna (450 Main Street, Armonk): “Traditional Greek staples served up in a more refined fashion than many of the other Greek restaurants in the area. Meraki is a welcome addition to the community! I love the gyro and zucchini croquettes. They also make an amazing cauliflower dish.” Meraki Taverna offers a large selection of traditional and modern Greek dishes, sometimes combined into one dish! They boast that all of their dishes have the Meraki touch, which translates to doing something with love, passion, and a lot of soul. Open for dine-in, take-out, and delivery. Catering is available as well.

Lelia’s Pick:
Nikos Taverna (287 Central Avenue, White Plains): “I love their grilled shrimp. The flavor and authentic seasoning are amazing!” Nikos has been a White Plains staple since 2005 and their menu offers all the Greek food faves. If you can’t narrow down your choice of an appetizer, you cannot go wrong with the Hot Pikilia Sampler: zucchini fritters, meatballs, house-cured pickled vegetables, cheese, and tzatziki. They put a different spin on their Pan Pizzas, as they are cooked Detroit-style (a rectangular pizza with a thick crust that is crispy and chewy). And top it off with your choice of Greek wines. They offer catering, delivery, dine-in or take-out, with a lovely outside dining area.
And few of us have a taste for Lefteris Gyro.
Angela says, “Lefteris Gyros in Tarrytown on Main Street is fab.”
Jessica says, “Generous portions. I love their Greek salad. Their dressing is so good!”
Erin says, “Love their gyro, too!”
Lucky for us, they have four locations in Westchester County:
