12 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Costa Mesa

“Absolutely amazing experience!
The soup, the meatballs, the kebabs — everything was delicious! The flavors truly reminded me of authentic home-style Turkish food from the Aegean coast. The staff and servers were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and even the owner was kind and attentive.
Great food, great people, and a warm atmosphere — I’ll definitely be coming back again.
Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves real Turkish cuisine! 🇹🇷❤️“

“Exelent servís the food is exelent“

“Fantastic service with very a friendly and attentive staff.
Went for my son's birthday as he was craving shawarma. He got the lamb and his girlfriend got the beef shawarma. Both of them said it was very tasty.

I had the chicken curry stew and have leftovers. It came with a Greek green salad and basmati rice. So delicious and such deep flavors.

We'd come back again for sure and since my son and his girlfriend live in the area, they are adding it to their spots too.

Highly recommend it.“

“I LOVE this restaurant and I feel guilty because I work at MACY'S!!! My co-worker and I STALK Ruscello to see when they're serving their amazing chicken pot pie soup. We are so there and don't care if we get fired for dining with the competition if this heavenly soup is on that day's menu. BEST SOUP EVER!“

“Very good kebab wraps ( falafel or beef/lamb with salad. The garlic aioli was pretty delicious and tasty too. Staff are friendly and helpful.“

“Highly recommend! We can't say enough good things about this restaurant. From welcoming us, helping us decide what to eat/drink, and the pace of the dinner, Gabrielle made the experience. He is now our favorite waiter of all time. The noise level was perfect; quiet enough to hear each other talk, but not to quiet that everyone can hear conversations from near by tables. The food didn't disappoint. Everything were ordered brought new and exciting flavors. The charcuterie board and artichoke were particularly the best we've had. In a city with incredible food, this is one we will routinely visit and recommend. Thanks for the incredible food and experience.“

“Great Greek salads. Get the Chicken and fried pitas.“

“Amazingly wholesome food. I came across this local business and it was so well prepared, you could taste the love and care that goes into their meals. I spoke with the owner as I was waiting for my food and you can tell that he really cares about his customers and preparing quality food. They cater too! If you are staying at the Hilton, you must try out this place!“

“Authentic Lebanese food! Hard to find in Orange County but now there's Bei! Thank you for bringing such a great restaurant experience to this part of Orange County. The food was amazing, service was great, and the restaurant ambiance was amazing! Checked off all the marks! Thanks Bei!“

“We enjoyed the food we go again“

“Pretty good, but kind of overrated.“

“The food is great but the customer service sucks! Please train your employees properly. Don’t hire anti-social people!“
