50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Canoga Park

“The lamb gyros are the best things ever. 😊“

“LOVED and will be back! Thank you Sylvia and the team for making such a delicious dinner!! Super friendly, generous portions, plenty of parking and close to bus stops. We had spicy boneless chicken kebab plate based on their recommendation - very flavorful, not super spicy, and huge portion, with plenty of leftovers! We also enjoyed the appetizer combo with tzazkiki, falafel, baba ganoush, and dolmeh. Finished off with takeout baklava that I am enjoying right now! And to cap it off, Sylvia overheard my friend mentioning my birthday and treated us to a tiramisu. We only had a forkful each because were too full but I loved it with my morning coffee. There were quite a few pickup orders while we were there! Highly recommend and can't wait to go there again!“

“Good service and great food.“

“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.“

“My first visit to Caffe Noor didn’t disappoint. The service was excellent and the food was so fresh and delicious. I recommend the falafel pita with roasted eggplant.“

“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.“

Most of the places i was ordering the same mixed kubideh, and never was good like in this place.
After dinner i ordered one more to go, to try my mom.
Thank you for delicious food 🙏🏻👍🏻“

“Had a great experience at The Kebab Shop! The manager, Juan, was super helpful and welcoming—great customer service makes all the difference. I ordered the grilled chicken bowl and it was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The bathrooms were clean, which is always a plus in my book. Even though they opened a new location in Santa Clarita, this one remains top tier—the taste here is always on point. Definitely my go-to spot!“

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

“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 food is amazing! I will definitely be going back. If you go for lunch order ahead, they make everything fresh.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Nice food, cooperative staff“

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

“Delicious love coming here“

“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.“

“Two serious complaints about Mizlala. One is that they need to move into my part of the SF Valley ASAP. The second is their crazy parking lot.

But one thing is for certain. This place serves outstanding Middle Eastern cuisine. Far better than anything I've had anywhere. Wonderful flavors, spices and herbs. Succulent chicken Pargiyot, Taste bomb Moroccan fried chicken. Sumac fries to die for. Salads bursting with feta, Kalamata olives, beets, radishes and tomatoes. Perfectly nuanced sauces and dressings. A delight for the senses.

Their staff is friendly and very helpful.

Now just move closer and make me really happy.“

“Good food good value and a full bar ;)“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Down to earth vibe, like an old school kitchen. No menu, just whatever the chef is making. All items are simple, clean, and wholesome. Menu changes daily, with fresh ingredients. Their tahini sauce is fire. 5/5 would return. $15 ayce win/win/win“

“This is one of my go-to lunch spots. Everything I've tried is absolutely delicious, and the service is amazing, they are truly kind people. Prices are very reasonable, especially for the portion size. I can't recommend Lusy's enough.“

“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.“
