50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Bell

“This family-owned restaurant is an absolute gem! The food is unbelievable—fresh, full of flavor, and clearly made with real love. The whole vibe is warm and welcoming, and you can feel the pride they put into every plate and every detail of the experience. The service makes you feel like you’re part of the family, and the atmosphere is the perfect mix of cozy and lively.“

“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.”“

“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 was in LA for four nights, went to other notable restaurants, and this was by far the best dining experience I had. You feel like you are in a friend's home. All of the dishes were delicious, fresh, vibrant and beautiful. Every detail is intentional. The dishes and platers are stunning and thoughtfully chosen. Highly recommend. If you're in LA, don't miss Chef Okay Inak and Sora.“

“Probably the best Mediterranean food I have ever had. I tried the chicken kebab—it was delicious. The chicken was flavorful and cooked to perfection. The rice was flavorful. Hummus was amazing. The side salad with the beet dressing added the cherry on top. Will definitely be back!“

“I’ve been showing up this CAVA since it opened up with my coworkers, and it’s been amazing! The wait times are super short, service is always great (thank you Reyna & Catherine for always going the extra mile & even remembering our orders), and the food is amazing! The only thing I would add is maybe some extra shade for the outdoor seating area and opening up the side door so that we can re-enter. Overall, great place for lunch - thank you again to all the workers that make this place reliable and fun :-)“

“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“

“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.“

“Absolutely fantastic food!“

“Simply delicious food. Look forward to visiting again soon! Baklava - to die for!!!“

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

“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.“

“Made a last minute decision stop at this tiny place (after an appointment at Kaiser down the street) and was VERY pleasantly surprised! It was DELICIOUS! The air-fried falafel was UNIQUE and perfectly crunchy on the outside! It's a MUST try and I'll definitely be back.“

“Ordered pick-up because my mom loves Mediterranean food and this place was near the hospital she was staying at. They had the food ready by the time I walked down from the hospital room to my car. The order was put together and ready by the time I got there. The person who welcomed me was super nice and patient with me. It took me 15 minutes to get there and 15 minutes to drive back to the hospital, and the food was still warm. My mom enjoyed the wrap and the ice cream. I think this meal was the most she had eaten during her entire stay in the hospital. We will 100% be eating here again!“

“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.“

“I have been coming here since 22 years ago. I was happy to see it open again. The guy and his sister are very friendly and nice. Food is amazing . Best Mediterranean food in town . Live it . I'm a fan of this restaurant and I go back on time everytime I come here. Thanks for this amazing place“

“Such a hidden spot...first off the bat freshly made hummus served with fresh pita bread warm and a side of Mediterranean salad. It's included with your order of whatever you decide. Thats rare, and the food incredible. A big size portion for very affordable price. This place really represents the name of its business and most importantly the customer service stands behind the name TRUE LOVE.“

“I ordered the cinnamon oat latte, and I'm usually not a fan of oatmilk but it was balanced so well against the espresso and the cinnamon that it didn't dominate the flavor. It was a very smooth drink, not too sweet, not too bitter, and not too strong.

My wife got the strawberry matcha latte, and while the matcha was of a decent grade and quality, the strawberry isn't a puree, nor is it like a strawberry creme or milk added in, it's an additive in powder form and she doesn't tend to like that.

Their chocolate croissant, which we shared, was heated up as requested, it came with a line of melted chocolate drizzle on top, which I think was similar to Nutella but less thick in terms of consistency. It was also topped with powder sugar, and it had an inserted line of darker chocolate, maybe 65%, so pretty balanced against the sweetness of everything else involved.

The area the cafe is located in is nice, it's a large promenade with several nicer restaurants (it's also sort of attached to it's restaurant counterpart) and there's plenty to walk around and get some shopping done or walk off the drinks and baked sweets. Plenty of parking as well, and the mall itself is only a block or two north from the cafe.“

“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).“

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

“First time there and has a good experience 👍“

“Jacob was amazing. !!!!!

This review is from the girl with the braids and the SpongeBob jersey on lol“

“This review is for my experience with catering. Due to a mix-up at another restaurant, I had to make last-minute changes to catering plans for a small gathering I was hosting. A couple days before my event, I inquired whether Dune Atwater would be able to fulfill my order.

Leslie the catering director responded the next day and gave recommendations for the size of my event as well as dietary needs. I submitted the order as recommended and picked up the next day.

Food came out on time and they helped load my order into the car. Wow, I was very impressed with the packaging and presentation. Came with quality serving utensils, placards describing the food and ingredients/allergens. Vegetable platter was beautifully arranged with an incredible variety of pickled veggies, salads, and hummus.

Our guests were very impressed by the food presentation, and most importantly, everything was delicious. People who had never eaten at Dune were asking where we catered from. So glad things worked out and we would definitely cater with Dune again.“

“Super Deli! 100% recomendado 😋“

Healthy good wholesome Mediterranean food

We had a cashier server named Tiani. She was so kind to my wife and I, gave us sincere service with a smile and checked on us after we started the grub fest just because.

She also gave us recommendations and insight on the differences between the spices for the chicken

It was A1 customer service so Thank You CM and Tiani!!

“My coworker and I was craving Mediterranean food and this spot was close.

I ordered their salmon plate, with a beef kubideh along with lentil soup and garlic fries. The salmon was delicious and the beef. The soup was good, a little tangy then I’m used to but the garlic fries might be the best garlic fries ever had in my life so far.

I’d definitely come back here again to try their other menu items.“

“We went for my dad's 87th birthday. They had the table all ready for us in the back of the restaurant, so it was quiet. Sam and Lida made us feel very welcome and like family. The food was fantastic, well timed and everyone loved it! This is a hidden gem in a mini mall. Lovely atmosphere and authentic food. Highly recommend!“

“Cava is a very healthy alternative to other restaurants, and their bowls are highly customizable with many options and toppings. It’s a great place to stop and grab quick take out as a college student.

“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! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Mike was very helpful with the ordering process. I like to stick to plant based items and he immediately let me know they have a lot of vegetarian options. Healthy options too. I like food that is going to satisfy my hunger and the options they have are very filling. There was a mixture of sweet, salty, spicy and savory flavors. Which is what I chose and love. I will definitely be coming back!“

“Great food and it’s very cheap, I recommend it to anybody.“
