50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Canoga Park

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

“All the dishes are fantastic“

“I got the ground chicken skewers for dinner. The food was good. The price is great for the amount of food you get. I got 2 skewers, rice, a salad, hummus, pita bread, & a sauce for the salad. The sauce that comes with the salad is especially good. The service we experienced was also good. We ordered online and the food was served in a timely manner. Overall, this is a good Mediterranean restaurant for a nice, casual meal.“

“Good service and great food.“

“I love the food is my favorite restaurant“

“I stumbled upon this location completely by chance and I am so grateful I did! The overall standards here are exceptionally high, boasting a remarkably flawless presentation and a truly comforting ambiance. It is an absolutely phenomenal destination that undoubtedly deserves top marks from me.“

“I recently tried Monaia Mediterranean Cuisine and was genuinely impressed by the quality of the food. If you’re looking for authentic Lebanese-style Mediterranean dishes, this place definitely delivers.

The standout for me was the grilled meat—everything from the chicken to the beef kebabs was cooked perfectly, juicy, and full of flavor. The shawarma was also excellent, with well-seasoned meat and fresh toppings. Their sides deserve just as much credit; the hummus was smooth and rich, and the baba ghanoush had a nice smoky depth that tasted homemade.

Portions are generous, which makes the prices feel fair, especially if you’re sharing plates. It’s the kind of place where you can order a few items and easily have enough for leftovers.

The atmosphere is pretty simple and casual—this isn’t a fancy or trendy spot, but more of a low-key neighborhood restaurant. Most people seem to order takeout, and it’s easy to see why the food travels well.

Service was solid and straightforward. Nothing overly attentive, but everything came out correctly and in a reasonable time.

If I had to point out a downside, it would be the ambiance. It’s not somewhere I’d go for a special occasion or a date night, but that’s not really what this place is trying to be.

Overall, Monaia is a hidden gem for anyone who cares more about authentic flavor than presentation. I’d definitely come back, especially when I’m craving quality Mediterranean comfort food“

“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.“

“I ordered a Shawarma sandwich for my son and asked for fries inside. The lady asked the owner if he can make that. The owner sent a complimentary fries to my son. The food is good and the place is clean. As a previous Mediterranean restaurant owner I recommend this place.“

“Extensive menu with lots of options for sides, toppings and sauces. But the meat itself isn't that great. Both the chicken and lamb/beef were dry and not flavorful on their own. That's too bad because otherwise it's a pleasant venue with fast service. I won't be going back“

“Food here is unbelievable. The beef soltani is not conparable to any steak preperation I have ever had and the people that create this great food are wonderful. Everytime I eat here I feel transported and the rose water is a nice touch. If you havent been, go. If you have been, it's time for another visit!“

“Jocelyn and Sal were awesome! Very accommodating and kind— a joy to interact with. I wish there was a bit more seating on hot days like this, but that’s not the restaurant’s fault, and to be fair, there’s A LOT of seating, anyway.“

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

“Service with love. The food is amazing. The owner is very kind.“

“Food is great and service was fine. Unfortunately, the location lacks any charm. It's dark, cavernous and lacking in any charm or warmth. I love the location on West Adams, but will not return to the Sherman Oaks location unless it's for takeout. They really need to find a new space“

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

“I love this spot the owner has great Persian food , the kinda flavor that is so different then the rest of the Persian res in the area, I swear the owner is this older nice men the place has home made food smells so good !He makes the best horash sabzi it’s the green herbs stow it comes with a side of rice and it’s really delicious!My friend loves kabobs so he orders that and says it’s very good !All the locals of the area eat here :)So in case you are in the Woodland Hills neighborhood I recommend grabbing lunch at this placeI enjoy every time I come here it reminds meof my moms food , so thank you for this“

“Nice food, cooperative staff“

“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!“

“Halal House simply is the best for the plates! Chicken over rice and Gyro! I even got two Gyro pita wraps today. Its affordable, quick bite to heat right near CSUN. I also saw that they have burgers! Really good size and taste. This is my go to spot for halal food near Northridge, honestly.😀I“

“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“

“Excellent food and service.“

“This Mediterranean restaurant proved to be an excellent selection for lunch. It was our first visit, and we are delighted that we chose to stop by. The food was truly delicious and surpassed the quality of our usual Mediterranean dining establishments. The individual at the register was exceptionally friendly and provided excellent assistance. We also had the pleasure of trying their garlic sauce for the first time, and it was incredibly flavorful. The portion sizes offered great value for the price. Both indoor and outdoor seating options are available. We opted to dine outdoors due to the pleasant weather. The interior of the restaurant is remarkably clean and quiet, making it an ideal setting for enjoying a meal alone or with loved ones. We certainly plan to visit again when we are in the Calabasas area.“

“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.“

“Cicek’s Chicken has been one of my go-to Mediterranean spots for years, and it’s always consistent. I had the half chicken with hummus and salad — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and filling. The chicken is juicy with great seasoning, the hummus is smooth, and everything tastes fresh.

The price-to-value ratio is excellent, the place is always clean, and service is solid. If you’re looking for a great place to eat chicken, this spot delivers every time. Highly recommended.“

“We loved everything. The service was very friendly and professional. The place is very welcoming. But the best part was food.
Big portions and sooo yummy. We ordered chicken and beef shwarma and they were great, but chicken lula was the best we've ever had, and we know Mediterranean food.
Would definitely recommend and can't wait to go again and try other items on the menu.“

“Awesome fun place with music good food, and fun. ❤️“

“Whenever we come to LA from East Coast this is one of our first stops. Food is always authentic, fresh, and healthy. We have been coming since it was first opened on 3rd St, near where we stay when we are visiting. My daughter is gluten free, dairy free and there is something for all of us.“

“The food is absolutely delicious, whether you’re enjoying an appetizer or a main course—everything is packed with flavor. The hookah is top-notch, smooth, and enjoyable. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure you have a great time. And the weekend live music adds such a fun and lively atmosphere! Highly recommend this place for a fantastic night out.“

“Chicken Dijon in Torrance, has really great food, the employees are always friendly, smiles and accommodating. I have been going for several years and will continue to patron this location. I also found them very smart in proving a free drink for a yelp. I think a trend offering this type of promotion would be good business.“

“Delicious love coming here“

“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.“
