40 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Arcadia

“Great food at a reasonable price. My favorite items are salmon kabob, beef lula kabob, Israel. It was a great New Year Eve dinner.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We go for the trout and beef koobideh! Fantastic food and warm, friendly service.“

“Loved it! Excellent luleh kebab! Will definitely go back again!“

“Never had batter beef Showerma in usa thumbs up for ABU KABAB I highly recommend it you must try“

“We ordered the Skewers Mixed Grill (Mshakkal) from Aladdin Jr Restaurant and Cafe in Covina through DoorDash and it was absolutely delicious. The portion size is incredible — it says it serves 2–3 people, but honestly it easily fed four of us with leftovers. Everything was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor.
The meats were tender, juicy, and well-seasoned, and the variety in the mixed grill makes it perfect for sharing. The rice and sides complemented the skewers really well and everything tasted fresh and authentic.
Another thing we really appreciated was the packaging. Our order arrived neatly packed and still warm, which makes such a difference when ordering delivery.
We’ve ordered from here multiple times and they’re consistently good, and the portions always leave us with leftovers for the next day (which taste just as great!).
The only thing we wish is that they offered their own delivery, because we would definitely order even more often. But even through DoorDash, it’s totally worth it.
If you're looking for flavorful Mediterranean food, generous portions, and reliable quality, Aladdin Jr is a great choice. Highly recommend the Mixed Grill!“

“They used to be open later which really helped the college students but now closes like a typical restaurant which is unfortunate because I haven't got to go but I like this salad you can create whatever toppings and I get falafel and all the vegan sauce is obsessed with the baba ganoush and the green sauce. If I could I eat a salad everyday for lunch so good for you!! Ty friendly staff for doing all that hard work n feeding azusa healthy !! U rock“

“I ordered from Uber Eats, and oh my goodness! Food was fresh, still hot. The steak was tender, well marinated and so delicious. Hummus and pita bread…yummy! They even thought out every detail, making sure utensils and a little baggie with garlic sauce, hot peppers, hot sauce and sumac seasoning was included. Definitely 10 out of 10, thank you! I would have posted a photo, but my food didn’t stand a chance 😋“

“Food is delicious great staff“

“I love hummus labs!

if you find yourself in Pas, and you’re in the mood for Lebanese/Mediterranean food, come eat here.

ordering the filet mignon kabob platter and chicken kabob platter and sharing it between two people is my favorite. choose two sides for each platter. ——I mean you gotta choose your favorite hummus (mine is the tomato habanero one), and don’t forget to choose the cauliflower for one of your sides!

and if you’re feeling bold and a little indulgent, order their shawarma nachos for the table!

for the longest time, I felt indifferent about Mediterranean food, but ever since my cousin introduced me to hummus labs, and
Mediterranean food has grown on me. ⭐️✨“

“Great food, decent portions and pricing is very fair for the quality of food. They are a must try if you enjoy fresh prepared, and BBQ style plates you can share from. You'll know once you get there and the aromas from the kitchen hit your nose. The creamy hummus was delicious.“

“I've been coming to the spot for probably over 10 years and the experience overall has been solid. The owners are always really polite, the food is put together ridiculously fast, and the flavors are pretty familiar and flavorful as you would expect from Mediterranean food. I will say, that perhaps there's a little bit of shrinkflation because most restaurants, the portions just seem a little smaller. I think for this cafe, everything is pretty much the same with high quality hummus, tasty rice, fresh salad, but I think the meat portions are a little smaller than I remember a year ago. Also, this round, my lamb skewers were a bit overcooked and on the dry side. But, perhaps this is just an anomaly for this visit. I'm going to try again probably this month!“

“The food was great!! and good company.“

“Great place, delicious food 😋. Worth the drive 👍“

“The food is amazing! You can’t be the quality of the ingredients.“

“Good food and excellent service!“

“The food es excelente!! My first time buying there, definitely worth it!!“

“The lamb swarmma plate was delicious. But the homemade baklava was supurb. It melted in my mouth.

I wish I lived closed than 90 miles from this delightful spot. It's clean & well kept. I'll stop anytime I'm going through the San Gabriel Valley.“

“Excellent food (and service) at good prices. Dinner plates are hearty with plenty of food to split in half. Thank you!“

“only downside is the parking, you have to engage on a busy Pasadena Street possibly even walk some steps over there but it is more than worth it! Fresh and delicious scrumptious food, where the owners really really really take pride in and care about what they are providing to others. check out their menu, dont miss this gem.“

“The meal I had here was simply delicious! The chicken was tender , the steak was juicy , the humus savory , everything was great and I learned that all Baklava’s are not created equally . This Baklava is top tier! Definitely recommend and will eat here again.“

“Very delicious chicken kabob, their shish kabob is a bit chewy but ok. Their garlic sauce thingy goes extremely well with the chicken and shish. Value is pretty good in my opinion, portions are good. But this area is a bit sketchy. Honestly their chicken kabob is like the best.“

“my favorite marinade and cucumber salad. like Pico de galli but with cucumber🤌“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😍😍😍😍😍 every meal is made fresh. Hands down a favorite“

“Lots of vegan choices here with faux meats. I ate my falafel and fries. The fries were a light golden, crunchy outside fluffy inside, generous portion, but it costs extra. The falafel (about five in the wrap) was good, a little dry, but good chickpea flavor 5/5...but I wished the lettuce wasn't so "spring mix from a supermarket bag" and clubky chunky...I like to see more finesse...but the pita was the thick fluffy kind and the sandwich was well wrapped so you could hold it without too much falling out. I enjoyed the cute Sierra Madre ambiance inside...though I was kept waiting so long in the place i nearly left...about 12 minutes alone before someone emerged from the back, without as much of a welcome or greeting. Well, I was excited to be there at least. Anyway, no check ins from any server but I tipped the guy 15 percent anyway, and he did thank me for that. I ordered a beef and chicken combo with rice and the proteins were grrrreat 5/5. It survived the half-hour drive home. Suggestion: Ask to have the pita bread packaged outside the container. The pita was under the proteins...alas mushy soggy unrecognizable....not smart, sorry. So if you want pita that isn't mush, beg to have the pita on the side. One star less because of that decision to put bread on the bottom for a takeout order. My mom didn't get any pita 0/5 and that's a shame bec it was the fluffy kind.“

“Wonderful place to celebrates Valentine’s Day“

“I love this place....all their dishes are delicious....if you haven't tried it....please do....there's never a day that the lines are out the door....speaks volumes!!!! The owner is a wonderful man....George is his name. So next time you see him call him by his name and you'll see for yourself.... :-)“

“Great service and great food. Everyone there is friendly and the food is wonderful. I'll have to go a few more times before I write about specific menu items.

I tried a bit of the Kebobs and the lulu sandwich. The sandwich was quite good with raw onions and tomatoes. But mostly, the atmosphere there was quite wonderful. Casual and friendly.“

“Great experience eating here chicken is delicious“

“Really fresh, healthy food and a very friendly staff.“

“My first time at CAVA…the food was so fresh and delicious! We will definitely go back!“

“Had an unexpectedly wonderful lunch by picking this place on a whim! The owner of the Greek Cafe was very engaging and polite. The food was ALL freshly made and absolutely delicious. All the dishes are freshly made to order and was willing to make accomodations for food allergies. If you are looking for authentic and a true taste delight THIS is the place. Strongly recommend it!“

“I just got a bowl at the new spot by USC. Juicy chicken, nice fluffy rice, The chipotle sauces are tasty and service was fast. I'll get another bowl for sure.“

“The place is super cute inside. I came on a Saturday around 11am and didn't have to wait too long for a table. Service was great. Me and my friends just got brunch items, and it was satisfying but nothing memorable. Although, the almond croissant is absolutely to die for and made up for it. Definitely try the pastries here.“

“Recently my nephew got married and on his reception taken place on universal city Hilton hotel and we found Mazze banquet from Pasadena for catering. The food was excellent the service was excellent everything was on time. We had 250 guests and everything went smoothly. Food quality was 10 out of 10. Service was 10 out of 10. So happy so happy. Definitely recommend.“

“Phone in your order to speed up the wait. I usually get the garlic chicken panini. It's so so so very good. Keep in mind the limited hours. I wish they were open for dinner. It's also one of the few places you can still get a copy of the Pasadena Weekly.

Parking: If you don't see a spot to park in front, just park in the back. You enter the parking lot on the west side of the building. There's always an empty parking spot in back, but not as shaded.“

“Wonderful customer service! Friendly employees! I will definitely return.“

“It’s was Ddddeeeeelicious. I had the chilaquiles with a big cup of horchata coffee. It’s a clean family restaurant, came on a Saturday afternoon, indoor and outdoor seating are available. I will be back with my family 100%!!! Service was on point. 😍“

“Awesome!! The Blackened Salmon Kabobs have me LIFE!“

“The staff was really nice and the food was fantastic! Looking forward to going again.“
