11 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Culver City

“Elijah and the crew at Luna Grill are wonderful and nice! The food was delicious 😋 I’m definitely coming again! Thank you😊“

“If you’re reading this, here’s the short version: this is easily one of the best restaurants in Culver City, and you need to try it now!

It’s a small spot in downtown Culver City that you could walk past without noticing. I’m glad I didn’t. There are a couple of tables outside, but most of the seating is indoors. The space is modern, clean, and relaxing.

We ordered three dishes, all recommended by our waiter. The mussel toast is a must. Every bite is savory and packed with seafood flavor. For mains, we had the short rib and rainbow trout. The short rib was perfection. Cooked over fire and served with crispy potato strings. It’s something you get at high-end steakhouse but at half the price. The rainbow trout looked beautiful and tasted fresh, though the citrus was a bit stronger than I prefer.

For dessert, we couldn’t resist the churro and ice cream sandwich. The ice cream (another must try), sourced from a Persian maker, was rich with rose, honey, and pistachio. The presentation was just as impressive. The churros were decent, though I wished they were crispier and the dipping sauce was thicker.

Overall, I’d give this place a solid five stars. The food is close to Michelin quality without the Michelin prices. Go and you won’t be disappointed.“

“A friend and I had lunch fresco style- patio area great! Superb service and food! The Lamb Chops were amazing! The Falafels were great— friend said they were super crunchy!“

“Been meaning to check this place out for a while, and I finally got a chance this afternoon. I ordered the falafel plate. The food was made fresh to order. The falafel was crispy, and the hummus was perfect. He threw in some spicy eggplant, which was fantastic!

There’s a small seating area inside and some tables outside if you want to eat there. I did carryout.

Love this place! I’ll definitely be stopping by again!“

“I Experienced their amazing food by “ Carry Out”. Difficult to believe one is able to pick up such delicious gourmet cuisine, by Top Chefs. Cannot wait to experience the full ambiance !!!“

“Very good food! Very clean . I've had the chicken plate, gyro so far very yummy. The hummus is amazing.“

“Good good food. The tabolue was my fav I came back for seconds then thirds lol. The service was dope asl too. Mind u this the mall. Xavier Alejandro P was my server btw. I’m shouting him out bc if he didn’t let me sample the taboule I wouldn’t have ate here.“

“This Cava has the best food compared to other branches in my opinion. It’s miles ahead of the USC Village location. The service can be very slow, however. It reminds me chipotle service, slow and inattentive. The employees often take long pauses making your bowl and you’re left there in line hungry. But the food was truly very delicious. It better have been for $17..“

“Great service .. delicious good . Will be back“

“Great Pita! It’s homemade!“

“I was craving chicken and my partner told me that their chicken is so delicious. I’ve ordered the meat and potato combo (I think that was the name). You can choose between dark and light meat, I’ve chosen light. The chicken was really well seasoned and wasn’t dry at all. The meal came with roasted potatoes, aioli and a chili dip which is so addicting. The pita and Hummus were also delicious and make it such a tasty combo. Next time I want to check out their dine in restaurant which is just one minute away. Also shoutout to the friendly staff :)“
