39 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Calabasas

“This place was delicious! Tried it for the first time today for dinner. The humus and falafel taste very original I could tell they use quality ingredients and the entrees were so big we could’ve ordered a lot less. Great food at a great price point and the server was really nice as well!“

“***** tasty food nice and clean place“

“WOW!!!! This place is legit!!! Food was hot, packed with flavor and plentiful!!! The pita was soft and warm. The hummus was on point, the chicken was super legit! Enough food for 2.5 people for sure! Just get an extra pita to split. I got the chicken shawarma. Salad was green and dressing was on point! I’m visiting from Texas and this has been my favorite meal.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Absolutely Outstanding Experience at Kabab Village Calabasas!

From the moment I walked into Kabab Village, I could tell this place takes pride in what they do. The restaurant is spotless — tables, floors, and even the small details like the silverware and water glasses are perfectly clean. Cleanliness: 10/10.

The staff is incredibly attentive and welcoming. They check on you just enough to make sure you’re comfortable, but never overbearing. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests and take pride in providing excellent service.

Now, the food absolutely amazing. I ordered the Kubideh Plate, and it was perfection. The meat was tender, juicy, and full of authentic Persian flavor. The rice was fluffy with just the right touch of butter, and the grilled tomatoes added a perfect smoky balance. Every bite tasted fresh and homemade, not like a rushed meal but something made with love and tradition.

You can taste the authenticity in every dish it truly feels like a piece of Persian culture brought to Calabasas. The flavors, presentation, and quality easily make this one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants in the area.

If you’re looking for authentic Persian food, friendly service, and a clean, relaxing environment, Kabob Village is the place to go.

Highly recommend the Koobideh Plate — you won’t be disappointed!“

“We tried the falafel, pita, and hummus and it was amazing! It is one of the best hummus I’ve had- the texture was so smooth and delicious. They are serving out of the Colony food kitchen on Lincoln Blvd in Venice, and we just happened to walk by. Highly recommend!“

“I love the food is my favorite restaurant“

“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.“

“Love them. They give the homeless a free lunch every Sunday at 12:00“

“I ordered mutton kebab. Everything was good except the mutton kebab was not tender; the meat was not marinated with garlic, ginger, onion and vinegar before cooking.
At the head of the cooks was a beautiful Indian girl who seemed to be trying to keep the customers happy.“

“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.“

“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 😊“

“I only recently went into Cicek's Chicken and couldn't believe how delicious it was. The quality is consistent every time. The moutabal is to die for, and the garlic sauce hits so good with the chicken. Speaking of which, the chicken is juicy and perfect. The filet mignon is so delicious too. Just tried the baklava and WOW, didn't expect it to be as delicious as it was. I was genuinely surprised. So happy to be a semi-regular now, this place rules. Give it a shot.“

“The lunch special is a really good deal as the food is always hot and delicious. The long grain basmati rice is extremely soft and so delicious. The boneless chicken kabobs are super juicy and cooked to perfection. We also tried the ghormeh sabzi and the gheyme and they were both very good!!! one of my favorite hidden gems on the west side of the valley. The owner is very kind and sweet as the food is made with love.“

“I occasionally visit Mediterranean Pita Grill for lunch, and the service is always friendly. During my most recent visit, the ice dispenser was out of ice. When I shared with the staff, they sprang into action to check the machine and even went to Tikka Grill next door to collect some ice. It was really nice to see them go the extra mile for their patrons.“

“I recently had a family dinner for a party of 20 and everyone enjoyed! The food was extremely fresh and flavorful, great service, and really nice ambience in their beautifully remodeled seating area. Special thanks to Arpik for taking such good care of us!“
