“Absolutely fantastic food!“

“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.“

“I luv this place! I usually order for pick up. I recommend the Chicken Kabob plate with Basmati rice and a Ceasar salad. Don't forget the pita bread! 😋👍“

“Making the most out of this Covid-19 situation for pick-up. Order was secure, exact, and made fresh. They were backed up as when I first got there they were a little short staffed as The Friday Dinner rush was starting, but they kept their cool, their extra hand showed up, and they did well. Just make yourself visible so they got your name assuming you pre-ordered for pick-up. The short wait will not disappoint. And they definitely didn't forget my white sauce - always my biggest fear as it's truly the essence of this place!“

“Dvine Mediterranean Experience is a fantastic spot for fresh, flavorful Mediterranean food and generous portions at a fair price.
The food is consistently high quality, with tender, well-seasoned meats, creamy hummus, and fresh salads that taste like they were made to order. The family-style meal was a standout – plenty of food to share, great variety on the table, and it really felt like a feast rather than just dinner. For what you get, it’s an excellent value, especially considering the portion sizes and how satisfying every dish is.
The staff are genuinely warm and welcoming, checking in often and making sure you have everything you need without ever feeling rushed. They create a relaxed, friendly atmosphere that makes it easy to linger and enjoy the meal, whether you’re with family or a group of friends. Overall, Dvine Mediterranean Experience is the kind of place you immediately want to recommend to others—and we’ll definitely be back, especially for another family meal.“

“Amazing food and customer service!! Everything is always fresh and delicious.“

“Love love love the food , great dinner I fly out here just for this place“

“Amazing delicious fresh plates at reasonable prices! 2 plates fed 3 people providing a well-balanced meal with plenty of fresh salads and protein options! Maritza and staff served us with great customer service even close to closing. A quaint location with a family atmosphere and attentive servers who check on you often, making sure customer satisfaction is met at all aspects. Clean and bright! Will visit again and bring all the family and friends!“

“I had placed a takeout order through the app and it gave me the quickest option to pick up in 15 minutes but I purposefully added extra time and chose to pick up in 30 minutes.

When I arrived 30 minutes later, my order was still not ready because they had run out of falafel. Despite the mishap, Rachael was the one who assisted me and handled the situation professionally with great care and understanding. She took time to discuss the matter and gave me options, but even more than that, she showed kindness and made me feel seen as a customer.

Even in negative situations like this, customer service always goes a long way and it's easy to forgive a mistake when you are met with kindness and respect and when action is taken to rectify the situation. I will be returning :)“

“This was my third visit to this location, and today was by far my favorite experience. Ruby was incredibly kind and helpful, and she had one of the most welcoming faces. She really made the visit feel warm and enjoyable. She made it worth 5 stars“

“My family went out and had a great experience. I had a chicken shawarma plate and it tasted very good. The portions are a decent size and we have leftovers for tomorrow. We also had walnut baclava and it was very good. Not only was the food fantastic but the atmosphere was also great. The owner was very nice and took care of our needs during our visit. Definitely would recommend this place.“

“This is a food truck with several tables available if you want to eat there or you can take the food to go. The food is fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful. I LOVE this place.“

“I got the strawberry banana shake with plant based protein and a couple add-ons (I forgot what they were) and a side of electrolytes before I went to the gym. Everything was great and I'd go back without question, because it's one of very few health conscious smoothie places on Google maps that tends to my high cholesterol and high blood pressure.“

“Best meditarranean restaurant in downtown Long Beach for sure ,this place is new and already getting popular in the area“

“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.“

“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.“

“We ordered this takeout. I must say, even with a 15 minute drive home, the food was delicious. The food was very, very tasty and cooked to perfection. It was a little pricey but worth it.“

“Awesome food and great service. Atmosphere is what one would expect a strip mall food joint to be. Garlic paste seemed to be house made but the harissa seemed to be sambal oulek (an Asian chili sauce) everything else is really really good, especially the rice.“

“My family and I were looking for a restaurant that serves halal food on our way home. We found this on google maps and had minimal expectations.
Honestly, we were glad we stopped here, We loved it! The gentleman who worked their was super kind and friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and pleased. So i would give the service 20 out of 10 !
We had kebbeh, lamb chops, and chicken tawook. Kebbeh was served super hot and crispy. Yum.
The other plates were delicious but there is a room for improvement. I would have prefered my tawook to be a little more juicier. But the flavor was their and I would order that again, no doubt.
They also provided us with lentil soup as an extra (probably coz it's ramadan?) And it was a super nice touch. Loved it.
I would come to this place again inshaAllah!
Thank you!“

“As I stand hear dancing and writing this review I got to practice my Spanish with Daniel who has to be one of the coolest guys I have met within a time of ordering. The food made my mouth water as I anticipated eating.

I cannot wait to bite into this delicacy sitting in front of me.“

“If you haven’t been to Cava yet, let me save you the suspense. From the moment you walk in, the ingredients look fresh, and the entire team moves with purpose and professionalism. You can tell right away they take pride in what they do and that starts at the top with Stavo.

Stavo was so sweet, friendly, and overall amazing. I absolutely loved his personality! You can tell he genuinely cares about both the people he works with and every single guest who walks through the door.

Now let me talk about something that surprised me.

I have never tried their Mint Cucumber drink before because I simply do not like anything minty. Ever! Stavo suggested I give it a try. I asked him directly, “Is it minty?” He confidently told me it wasn’t overpowering and that it’s actually one of their top drinks. And let me just say he did not lie!!!!

The Mint Cucumber was divine. So refreshing. Light, crisp, and perfectly balanced. It wasn’t overwhelmingly minty at all just clean and cooling in the best way. Thank you for that suggestion, Stavo. You converted me!

And while we’re here, if you haven’t had their Pita Chips, you are absolutely missing out. They are the BEST. Perfectly crisp, lightly salted, and dangerously addictive. Make sure you get them when they’re fresh and come right out that’s when they’re at their peak. Trust me on this one.

The food is consistently amazing fresh greens, flavorful proteins, creamy hummus, vibrant toppings everything tastes thoughtfully prepared. But what truly makes this location stand out is the experience. The teamwork. The hospitality. The leadership.

Five stars simply don’t feel like enough. 👏🏾“

“generous portions and very patient and kind staff! and the food is great too!“

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing experience every time! The customer service is top notch — Noah is always so friendly, helpful, and welcoming. You can tell they really care about their customers. The food is so delicious that I completely forgot to take a picture before digging in… it’s that good! Highly recommend this spot if you’re craving a great kebab and outstanding service.“

“Great service food is good“

“They have very friendly staff and the food is fantastic.“

“Very friendly service and the girl at the register was really sweet. The food was very good. I ordered soup and lahmacun and both were delicious. The only small issue was the wait time it took a little longer than expected for simple things like soup and lahmacun but overall everything was good.“

“I love the Salmon bowl! I’m attracted to the Kids eat free Mon-Thursday. I like the kids play area. It’s inside or outside. I will be back for many terrific reasons!“

“I spotted this place while driving to See’s Candies and decided to give it a try, so glad I did. From the moment we walked in, the customer service was on point. We were greeted right away, and the whole place had a warm, welcoming, homey vibe.

The menu selection is solid. We ordered the beef gyro and the chicken souvlaki plate. The beef gyro was very tasty, the meat was tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. The chicken souvlaki was also delicious, but the real standout for me was the hummus. It’s made in-house, and you can absolutely tell, creamy, warm, and honestly one of the best hummus dishes I’ve had.

It even brought back memories of Papa Cristo back in Mid-City LA, that’s how good it was. If you’re craving quality Mediterranean food, don’t pass this gem up.“

“We love love your restaurant!! You have the best grilled chicken ever!! We dine here about twice a month. We love Paris she is a fantastic server. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience every time. ❤️“

“Very pleasant experience here! From the friendly accommodating staff, to the very delicious well prepared fish, it was a treat!! Best fish I’ve ever had! I look forward to coming back! 5⭐️“

“Cristina helped me navigate the menu as it was my first time ordering here. She was incredibly kind and helpful. Very clean and welcoming environment and my meal was delicious. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate and it did not disappoint. I will absolutely be back 💯💕“

“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.“

“We ordered this takeout. I must say, even with a 15 minute drive home, the food was delicious. The food was very, very tasty and cooked to perfection. It was a little pricey but worth it.“

“The BEST pita chips and hummus!“

“Kabob plate has it all: chicken, beef, rice, salad, garlic paste and pita. The entire plate was clean after we finished.

The owner is very helpful and eager to help customers when they have questions.

They’ll put the game on for you if you ask. Overall, excellent experience.“

“Alan/Yalla Truck provided the attendees at our event with the most delicious meals!
He has a fantastic menu to choose from and gave us the highest quality food and the quantity was most satisfying. His crew was efficient and professional and all through our emails and phone calls, Alan was professional and helpful.

Couldn’t ask for a better experience!
Thank you Alan! Your Yalla Truck should be in high demand.“

“Had a great experience here. Had been wanting to try it for a bit. My wife and I stopped in after a long day and wanted something healthy. My wife got a bowl and i got the super duper wrap. I completely botched the ordering process however Isaac swiftly came over and asked what I meant to order. He was very kind and helpful. Great place, great employees. We will be back.“

“Most welcoming people with delicious food. Couldn’t go wrong with anything on the menu. We tired this place to beat the crowds at Disney land and honestly had a much better and wholesome experience at this restaurant than anything we could have gotten at DL. Thanks for the food and experience. Would love to come here more often but unfortunately we are visiting from the east coast. Highly recommend!!!“

“this was my first time eating here..I highly recommend!! perfect 10!! place is super clean, customer service is excellent n the food was delicious!! the food is FRESHLY made so it does take a kool minute to get ur meal but TRUST, it's worth it!! they serve big portions at fair prices.“

“GUYS, if you haven’t tried it, you are MISSING OUT . Soooooo goood.“

“good and healthy food and very delicious too.“

“Un buen servicio y la comida rica“

“We enjoyed our dinner at the Paradise Garden Grill because of the atmosphere and service. Quesadilla was delicious and worth the money! The tacos and tri-tip steak burrito (misleading since it’s vegan lol) were a bust and wouldn’t get again.“

“Amazing food, nice friendly atmosphere!“

“la comida meditereanea esta deliciosa y el sevicio es rapido y amable. me encanto!“

“Absolutely loved the food at Kababji Grill — the Beef Kafta, Kibbe Nayye, and Beef Shawarma were all bursting with flavor. The service was top-notch, and the atmosphere made the experience even better. Truly one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time!“

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

“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.“
