50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Arleta

“Best pizza in the neighborhood!“

“Excellent food. Really great lamb chops. Yum. And really yummy homemade desserts.“

“I love the food is my favorite restaurant“

“The perfect meal to break my daily intermittent keto fast. I eat the salad bowls, sub grilled veg for the hummus and I'm relatively carb free. Carbs from the plants but no processed or concentrated carbs from sugar, seeds or beans. Fresh flavorful ingredients, rich flavors and very satisfying. Nice self serve sauce bar with seasoned yogurt, a dill ranch and good hot sauce similar to a mild harissa. Fills me up, satisfies me and then start the timer on the next 24 hrs.“

“The food portions are very generous! Everything is delicious, and the owner truly pays attention to detail. They noticed my husband was watching a soccer game and kindly turned on the TV next to us so he could keep watching. We’ve been coming here many times, and it never disappoints.“

“Monaia Mediterranean Cuisine is a true gem. The quality of the raw meats alone sets them apart — exceptionally fresh, beautifully cut, and with a level of care you can immediately taste. The variety across the menu is impressive, from classic Mediterranean staples to thoughtfully prepared specialties that feel both authentic and elevated.

Service is attentive, warm, and genuinely knowledgeable, which makes the entire experience feel effortless and welcoming. You can tell this is a place that takes pride in what they do — from sourcing to preparation to presentation.

If you care about quality ingredients, generous portions, and consistently excellent service, Monaia is a place you’ll want to return to again and again.“

“CAVA catering was excellent! The food was fresh, flavorful, and ready right on time. Everything was well-prepared, well packaged, and a big hit with my office.

Special thanks to Adriana and Roxana for their outstanding service—they were friendly, professional, and made the whole process smooth and easy. Great food and great staff. Highly recommend CAVA for catering!“

“The Lule kabob is very juicy and tender! Full of flavor! Very friendly staff, ready to take your order. Catering services are excellent too. They are closed Sundays, but they may cater food for special events on Sundays is you ask!“

“I had my family at The Grill Stories Restaurant yesterday Feb. 28, 2026 There were 6 of us and the food was amazingly delicious we had two big family platers and extra sides , my daughter needs gluten free so she had the Mediterranean salad alone separately she said it was fantastic. The outside dining was very comfortable and cozy , it was a beautiful 85° weather . The round lady hostess and other people there were very friendly and welcoming . After we stuffed ourselves there was still plenty of food to pack and take home . Ultimately it was a great experience and with all the food it was approximately $35 per person including tax and tip, for most people it would be less because we ordered a lot of delicious food. We will return again Thank you to The Grill Stories“

“Luna always delivers when it comes to flavor and freshness, but this location really stands out. Jacob is always super helpful and the entire team follows his lead. We are regulars at this location and love the atmosphere and the speedy service. The food is delicious. Especially love the flat cut chicken.“

“Stopped at a random spot to plan and grab lunch! So yummy! Between lunch and the sangrias it was amazing....😍😍💕💕“

“Hook Kabob has wonderful Greek food. If you want it, they likely have it. The place is so cute and comfortable. You can dine there, get take away and they also deliver. We like to eat there. It is fun.

The service is very friendly and they treat you like a family member. They make sure the food is right the first time and you get a goodly amount. They are famous for their kabobs, but there are other great things to have.

Their salads, wraps and desserts are so good. They have great bread and their hummus is out of this world. It is so good and so fresh.

You will love their salmon kabob and their and their pork ribs are just perfect. All their sides are great. You can have a little or a lot. After all, you can always take some home, it heats up so well.

Enjoy.“

“DELICIOUS 😋HEALTHY FOOD AND VERY NICE AND FRIENDLYCUSTOMER SERVICE .“

“I ordered a couple of times to go, which, everyone will agree can go wrong on many levels.
I can say I finally found a place I enjoy eating even the rice from, the flavors are great, seasoning is amazing, portions are generous.
Please, don’t change anything, only improve.
Thank you for the great food🙏🙏“

“Have you ever entered a business and immediately feel like you just walked into your home where family is waiting to greet you? That was the very feeling I had when I stopped by the NoHo Cafe today. I knew the food was good as I used the delivery service before. Today I decided to visit the Cafe and I promise I’ll continue going frequently. The food is delicious but what won me over was the welcome and love you experience when you walk in the door. The staff is amazing... the Cafe has a very “welcome home” atmosphere. The complimentary cup of soup is AWESOME. I sat at a corner table allowing me to do what I love...watch people. As I enjoyed my delicious first meal of 2020 I watched as every person who entered was treated with care and joy. Just like being home the staff will keep checking to see if the food is ok and if you need anything. The NoHo Cafe is a place I recommend to anyone wishing to enjoy a good meal and to experience a “welcome home” feeling. Thank you NoHo Cafe for starting my 2020 with a reminder of the importance of kindness.“

“todo está súper rico de verda selos recomindo yummy 😋“

“Whoa 😳!!! This place is Amazing! The food is fresh and service was outstanding. We had The San Diego Grill Wrap and Saffron Chicken Plate. Both were 🔥🔥🔥 and Eduardo's recommendations were spot on.
Definitely will be back!“

“Very nice meals. Good luck!“

“Absolutely loved our experience at Oliver Pepper! I ordered the shawarma and my boyfriend got the chicken kebab plate—both were incredibly delicious, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. You can truly taste the quality and care put into the food.

The environment was welcoming and comfortable, but what really made the experience special was interacting with the owner and his family. They were so kind, genuine, and made us feel right at home.

Amazing food, great atmosphere, and even better hospitality. We’ll definitely be back!

If you want it shorter or more casual, I can tweak the tone too 😊“

“The best of the best Israeli/Mediterranean kosher food home made and you can taste the diffrence! I cant praise them enough. Try and you won't be disappointed! Amazing!!!“

“This Mediterranean spot is absolutely amazing! The food is incredibly delicious — every dish is full of authentic flavor and perfectly seasoned. The service is outstanding — the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and taken care of. The prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality and portions you get. The whole place has such a friendly and relaxing atmosphere — perfect for families, friends, or even a casual date. Highly recommend this gem to anyone who loves great food and warm hospitality!“

“We just moved in the neighborhood and this place is easily my new favorite.

I got the chicken delight (summer delight with chicken) and I definitely want to try all their sandwiches.

The staff is genuinely warm and friendly too. Definitely want to come back as much as possible.“

“Always fresh and filling!“

“Love this place! I order out and also dine at the Sherman Oaks location. My food is always fresh and delicious. The staff is always friendly and efficient. I especially love the flavored water with cucumber and lemon added for that extra touch whether I'm picking up food or sitting down to dine.“

“This spot is one of my go-tos when I want something quick but still really good. Everything tastes fresh, portions are solid, and the setup makes it easy to get exactly what you want. Jay stood out with his service—he was welcoming, patient, and just made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. It’s always nice when someone like Jay makes you feel appreciated as a customer. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to.“

“Great food and friendly staff. Owners greet you and serve!“

“Serra is amazing! and so is her food!“

“The food here is really delicious! Everything tastes fresh and full of flavor, and you can tell they put care into how it’s made. The people who work here are super sweet and friendly, which makes the experience even better.
The only downside is that the prices feel a bit on the higher side for a kebob stand. Still, the quality and taste definitely make it worth trying. Overall, great food and great service!“

“Yes I highly recommend the food, the service, and atmosphere.“

“Absolutely fantastic for date night or literally any other dining event you might have!!!! Food was incredible especially the glazed pork belly and the brussel sprouts. AND dessert is an absolute must, everyone needs to try the bread pudding! Good price point for the quality of food and the cutest Mediterranean inspired design.“

“The food and service was excellent and it also has good hookah!“

“Delicious dishes! Everything is recommended! But if you twist my arm, I'd say try the beef or chicken shawarma sandwich.“

“Nice food, cooperative staff“

“The chicken shwarma, fried brocolli, lebneh, Sumac fries, salad and the freshly baked pita were delicious.
Portions are generous and priced reasonably.
Park in the back corner of the lot to be close to Mizlala's door. The parking fee is inexpensive.“

“Food is Laways great here. Especially the Xinkali. I've had it many times and its always on Point. Just recently tried the xash and it was awesome. Everything is a bit on the pricy side but then again quality costs. I just wish they cost a little less then maybe we can use them more often then not.“

“After the 4th restaurant in Tujunga failed to make good Shawarma, I thought I would have to drive all the way to Glendale for the only good Shawarma I know, that I get from a food truck. I didn't know Shawarma House existed until today. The dine in place is nice and spacious, the service was kind, and for the first time in Tujunga that I know of, this a restaurant that didn't serve dry wraps with no garnishes.“

“Beautiful place“

“Omg the most delicious breakfast I have ever had , mr jamshid is the kindest person, thank you always and appreciate your neatness for this wonderful restaurant“

“Delicious love coming here“

“Most delicious food you can ask for“

“I've been going here for over 20 years. Great food, friendly staff. You won't believe the amazing dishes that come out of that kitchen. Don't let the name fool you, I have never had a burger here, my favorite dish... The t-bone steak. Highly recommend!“

“The Shawarmins are awesome! Very friendly and cool owners. HEY Guys! It's ME!“

“Just fantastic. Everything was perfect: the staff, the food—just everything. Such an unassuming little place. We had the Chicken & Lulu Kebab and the Gyro Plate. Both meals were superb and really exceeded our expectations . On top of a wonderful meal, the staff really went out of their way to make us happy. We had a wonderful time and really look forward to coming back.“

“Five stars for Elite Garden Cafe! Absolutely Amazing food! They even turned down the music for my sensitive ears so I could enjoy the atmosphere. Beautiful restaurant, great service, and incredible food. Highly recommend. Lovely experience“

“The food in this establishment is absolutely delicious. My favorites are the smash burger and cheesesteak!! I never thought I would find a burger that topped my all time fave (cali people will know the one) but this burger was tooooo amazing!! Check it out if you haven't already.“

“Wonderful, fresh and yummy meat, and great veggies (potatoes and eggplant). All was well packaged and arrived safely.They delivered to our house which was super convenient as well and included yogurt/cucumber drinks. Overall, great service and nice folks! We'll happily order again!“
