Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Cabbagetown

My guest was a first timer, loved it, and will be back. Bill Todd

Excellent 3rd visit for me and 1st for my Veteran grandad—will definitely be back!

Last night marked my inaugural dining experience at Divan, and it certainly did not disappoint! The valet service was quite affordable, and despite the bustling atmosphere, I was pleased to find that I didn’t wait long at all before my car was whisked away. Upon entering, we were met with a warm welcome and swiftly shown to our seats. The ambiance struck me as elegant and refined, creating the perfect backdrop for our meal. Haniyah, our server, was exceptional—she took the time to walk us through the menu, offered stellar recommendations, and checked in on us throughout the evening. I opted for a refreshing sangria, while my husband chose a delightful pomegranate wine—both drinks hit the spot! Following Haniyah's suggestions, we indulged in the hummus duo, Spice Roasted Double-Cut Lamb Rib Chops, and a flavorful curry with prawns. Our main dishes arrived in a timely manner, piping hot and cooked to perfection; they were utterly delectable, and the portion sizes were just right. We left no morsel behind! Although I had to skip dessert this time around, I’m already dreaming of a return visit to savor those sweet endings. I can hardly wait for my next culinary adventure at Divan!

Had a great experience, I’ll definitely be returning. Our server was sweet and attentive . The hookah, drinks & food came out fast even tho it was Valentine’s Day and it was packed. The only reason I’m giving 4 star is because I didn’t like the 75 minute table time, we felt rushed towards the end when we were trying to enjoy our drinks and hookah. And the valet drivers took forever to get our car, so we were standing in the cold freezing. But other than that the restaurant itself is 8/10, next time I’ll come on a not so busy day .

Great service, great food, great ambiance both indoor and outdoor. Nice dog friendly patio. Nothing not to like! And be sure to check out local legend Robert Ray on the piano Friday and Saturday nights!
