Although Mediterranean cuisine has many dishes that include meat, there is always some vegetarian options. 

They have a great appetizers' selection. I shared with my family homemade Falafel and Cauliflower Zahra: 

Homemade falafel: Five patties of fava beans, chick peas, cilantro, garlic and onion blended and served with a parsley tahini sauce.
 


Cauliflower Zahra: Roasted cauliflower seasoned with garlic,
chopped tomato and cilantro served with tahini sauce


There is always a salad on the side:
