50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Bell

“It's a BANGER!! Now and days with ridiculous prices for restaurants, I am taking my hard earned money to small business, mom and pop restaurants. The food is better and you get more bang for the buck then going to a large scale fast food restaurant. This place is amazing! Great food and great customer service and proportion size is equal to the dollar amount. The shawrama bowl was a huge highlight for me out of my 2-day binge at this place. I will be coming here again as a Mediterranean favorite when I am in the area.“

“The little plates are yummy. I love the pita bread that came with the hummus (Salatim plate). The other plates were good also. I loved the bread pudding (I think it's better than the best cake). What I like the most about Bacari, besides the beautiful ambiance, is the friendliest staff.“

“I like the food Jamil n actman is the best“

“From the initial greeting, to the lovely outside seating, to the great service staff, to really great flavors, it was a terrific meal. Our whole group concurred, “let’s come back here.”“

“Delicious! Really interesting and tasty food.“

“Tucked away in an unassuming area of the city, this restaurant is truly a hidden gem. With just one incredibly talented chef running the entire operation—from cooking to serving—you will be amazed by the precision and professionalism on display. Despite managing everything alone, the chef is efficient, courteous, and goes above and beyond to ensure each guest feels welcome.

The restaurant itself is small, cute, and perfectly neat. It exudes charm with its cozy atmosphere and impeccable cleanliness, which makes the dining experience even more enjoyable. During our visit, the place was full, hosting a party of 11 alongside another table of 4 people. Yet, the chef managed to serve everyone on time without compromising the quality or presentation of the food.

We tried all the dishes on the menu, and every single one was a masterpiece—flavors that were perfectly balanced, ingredients that were fresh, and dishes presented with care. Although there are not many vegetarian options, the ones available were thoughtfully prepared and delicious.

This restaurant is a testament to the dedication and passion of its chef, who has created an unforgettable dining experience. Whether you are seeking an intimate meal or a full-course feast, this hidden gem will not disappoint. Highly recommend visiting and totally worth the drive to the area!“

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

“I'm at a loss for words, but I'll try my best. Food? Amazing! Perfect amount of seasoning and the portions are huge! And this is coming from a big dude. For the appetizers, my favorites were the Kashk E'bademjan (Eggplant Delight), Potato Salad, and the Hummus! They have more selections, but this is what I was able to try. I hear all are great! For the Entrees, ALL OF THEIR KABOBS ARE FIRE (MMM MMMM YUMMY). I had a sample of most them and in the islands, we would say "broke da mouf kine", which translates to, the food is *beep beep* GOOD! If you've never had Persian Food, or you love it, this is the restaurant for you! Drinks? I love Korean Soju and Cass beer, so yeah, +10 points from me. They do carry various Wines and Beers though...and of course your choice of Soda Pop. Atmosphere? It' gives you a Kewl Kids Vibe; a classy place where you can be yourself with family and friends and just enjoy each others company. You have your choice of Indoor and Outdoor dinning which is amazing. There's also a private room upstairs that can hold 20 people for a meal and karaoke (there is a fee to reserve, but very much worth it). Staff? We were greeted at the door as if we were coming home. Pasha and his staff go above and beyond to make sure all your needs are met. Their suggestions on meal and drink pairings are spot on. I can't thank Pasha and the crew for making our group outing a success. Overall? I'll be going back and I hope that you add this restaurant to your list of 'go to' places to dine at. You will not be disappointed, I promise you. (Unless your attitude stinks or you're not willing to try new food ‍) Pasha again, thank you so much for the hospitality. I already told Fatemeh that I'll be coming back again. سپاسگزارم“

“This used to be that yogurt place before COVID lol, but anyways...
The food here is amazing! Went for my first time recently and I will go back as a regular. I had the Wrap with chicken and bunch of other stuff in it and it just tasted so flavorful and good amount for the price. Highly recommend if you want mediterranean food nearby.“

“Great food and outstanding and friendly service. Their food is well prepared and with great quality. I d you are looking for al place with healthy food and rich in flavors and variety this is your place“

“Clean, fresh and flavorful food - Cornish hen kabob plate and tabouli salad- was quite a nice surprise and delightful experience nestled in the heart of the Garment district.“

“Great ambiance and amazing food. I had a lot of food… falafel, spicy hummus, kafta kabob, tzatziki loaded with veggies, cheese balls, and baklava. All so delicious and fresh. I even loved the fresh pita and dipping sauce that was complimentary. From the manager and many servers, everyone was pleasant and friendly throughout my time there. I went during happy hour so the specials were great during that time. I’m definitely returning to this Mediterranean restaurant for sure. I loved it.“

“I’ve seen this place since 2017 but never decided to eat here once I found out it was a Greek restaurant (at that point I thought they just served chopped up grilled chicken on top of bowls of salads with olives) but boy was I wrong.
The service is as good as the food, both magnificent. I finally came here because of LATryGuy on YouTube review in one of his YouTube channel shorts and when I saw the chicken I said “OH it’s like Dino’s Greek style chicken with the seasoning and lemon juice on the bed of fries at Dino’s restaurant) I tried both types of lemon garlic chicken meals at Maisons so far the regular and spicy (which it’s actually not that spicy at all) and they were good. The gyro is good too, I’m just disappointed they have not re-upped on the LEGENDARY LAMB CHOPS for months after the review. Next I have to try the shrimp pasta like LA TRY Guy reviewed he said it was a 10/10 for everything.“

“happily 😊 surprised. lunch on the run. Good Chicken!“

“First time there and has a good experience 👍“

“?Love this spot the food always so good and their meats are so flavorful and tender Shirazi salad is my favs the roasted tomato and jalapeño too plus that one special sauce that has spices and a tangy lemon taste goes real good on everything ? trust me this place is so worth it ?“

“recommended momed 💜️ hotel“

“The chicken is so good and juicy. Its fresh and full of flavor.“

“The service was VERY friendly. My server, and several others, greeted me with genuine smiles. Started with Warak Enab Dolma/Sarma (stuffed grape leaves), which were excellent. They are the non-vinegar type which I much prefer, firm with plenty of rich olive oil. Then the Sea Bass entrée. Two full filets traditionally seasoned, a large salad, and potatoes. The tomatoes are perfect! Beautiful tea service. Very quaint atmosphere, friendly staff with genuine smiles, everything well presented. Will definitely be back. FYI: Ample free parking on the roof, enter on Western Ave (Petco).“

“I love love love love Luna Grill. Service is excellent thank you Nadja very nice good atmosphere and the food is delicious very fresh and tasty.“

“Food Was Good! I ordered the Chicken Parmesan Pasta it was very tasty! The chicken had a good flavor and the pasta was filling!We picked up a Strawberry Matcha Latte and a Dubai Chocolate Tart on our way out , the latte was just ok for me but the tart was so gooooddd I will be going back to try different drinks on the menu along with different food options also ordering process can improve it felt crowded and servers kept passing by saying excuse me space and seating is limited!“

“whipped feta app was incredible, it's been almost a week and I'm still thinking about how good it was! the drinks were all memorable as well. was super busy when we went but worth the wait. can't wait to go back for dinner!“

“Some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever had. I ordered the Hummus and Falafel Plate (vegetarian) and the whole plate was a beautiful presentation with amazing flatbread and falafel. The service was decent for LA. The ambiance is an amazing outdoor seating venue that is very picturesque. We ate here around 11am when they opened on a Friday. It started getting packed around 12pm. Definitely recommend this place.

Hummus + Falafel “

“My tummy is so full and happy. The staff was so very friendly (cashier). Definitely coming back!“

“This is my go to spot for Greek food! The food is always so delicious and the servers are friendly and welcoming. The sweet potato pita, beet salad, and baklava froyo are a must try :)

Vegetarian options: Menu offers detailed description of each item on the menu.“

“Best ever kabob&desserts. Quality Service Ambient Best flavor food!!! Try once & never stop😋“

“My first time here ordering for lunch and it did take a little bit for the food to buzz ready but I realized it’s bc it was all freshly made to order!

As this is low key casual setting, you order at the counter and you sit anywhere inside Blossom Market Hall or outside and bus your own trays.

The FOOD was delicious! I ordered the COMBO FOR 2 for $30. It came with rice, salad, pita, hummus- it was definitely more than enough food for 2 :)

- The CHICKEN was surprisingly NOT dry and over grilled bc it was actually very tender and juicy.
- The BEEF was great too and the slices were nicely sliced for easy consumption.

I’ll definitely be coming back again for more COMBOS FOR 2 if I’m really hungry!“

“Went yesterday with my Daughters and can I say the food was so amazing. It was everything I hoped it to be. We came all the way from L. A and it was worth the drive. We will definitely be back! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Here’s an example of a glowing review for Vala Kitchen:

Five Stars! ?????
Vala Kitchen is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the ambiance is warm, modern, and inviting. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home.

The menu is thoughtfully curated, offering a perfect balance of fresh, flavorful, and innovative dishes. I was blown away by the quality of the ingredients and the attention to detail in presentation. Every bite was an explosion of flavor!

Whether you’re in for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, Vala Kitchen exceeds expectations. I can’t recommend this place enough and will absolutely be returning soon“

“Delicious food, I love the shish kebabs & rice! 😋“

“Good food. Good portion. Highly recommended!“

“Tried out your Cerritos location, I lived in LA almost 3years and food especially the kebab wrap was the best by far and I have tried different kebab place’s before in LA. One of the best Kebab place in America, the lamb was moist and very tasty with great flavors, the combination of the hummus, salad, fries combined with the lamb was delicious, the fresh flat bread was soft and crispy on the outside. Add the garlic yogurt sauce wow your tastebuds explodes in your mouth, the food was very lite and not heavy like most kebab place so they got the right balance by using the flat bread and not pita bread that most place use on the wrap Well done this place remind me of a place back home in New Zealand. I give The Kebab shop in Cerritos 10/10 Highly Recommend this place to my friends and family and different locations in America. Will go again and try something different on the menu.“

“The food was spectacular Everything made fresh and the prices are very reasonable I highly recommend“

“Absolutely fantastic food!“

“Super Deli! 100% recomendado 😋“

“This is the first time we eat here. The menu has a wide variety. My husband and I ordered chicken wrap. Delicious! The wrap is enough for a person!
The service was very good!
The only thing is that the restaurant does not have a bathroom. If you don't mind going to the nearby Starbucks you are good! However, the food was great! Definitely we will be back!“

“Perfect venue for an event (we celebrated a gender reveal here and it was perfect!). Food, service, ambiance, shaded patio dining, everything was excellent! Family owned business I highly recommend for dining and for celebrations. Menu has something everyone would love. I give them 5 stars!!!“

“My son is in love with your minestrone soup.. Your pizza..and your tiramisu!!“

“Great place for a snack. We ordered pita with chicken and vegetables. There was a little mess in the kitchen, but overall everything is very good. The people behind the counter are friendly, the interior is simple and casual, the food is delicious“

“The best food in Santa Clarita“

“food is very nice. so good“

“Nancy at the counter is always fast and efficient. She really knows her menu! They have a variety of plates, salads, wraps, and sides. A few of my fan favorites include the works, which comes with a little bit of everything, kafta, beef, chicken, two falafel balls and two step grape leaves. Chicken wrap is made with pita bread, garlic paste, lettuce, tomatoes, and homemade salad dressing. The sides forBesides for your wraps are pickled turnips and your choice of spicy potatoes or salad. My favorite salad would be the grilled veggie salad with protein optional it has onions, bell peppers, zucchinis, yellow squash, and corn, all grilled and topped with their homemade balsamic dressing and feta cheese. Their stuffed grape leaves and falafel are always a hit as well. I have yet to try their baklava, but that is next on my list they’re located in a food plaza, so there are a bunch of other eating establishments as well and their dining areas and restrooms are always spotless. Most of the establishments have the restroom code and Wi-Fi password posted or if they don’t, you can always ask! The TVs mainly play the news and they have connections if you need to charge your phone or laptop overall, this is one of my favorite places to eat. If you decide to go check this place out at the counter know Roxy sent you!

Vegetarian options: Falafel balls, hummus, grapes leaves, eggplant wrap, fattouche, tabouli, baba ghanoush, grilled vegetable salad, house salad, Cesar salad, Greek salad.“

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

“Fresh fruits and Vegetables 🥕 🫑 🌽“

“Our first time and we will definitely go back!!“
