36 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Duarte

“I ordered takeout and was happily surprised! I got the chicken shawarma wrap and it was delicious! It did take about 25 minutes for my order, so plan ahead and order online through their website. The ladies working were very kind and attentive. Will be back to try more of their dishes!“

“Awesome!! The Blackened Salmon Kabobs have me LIFE!“

“They used to be open later which really helped the college students but now closes like a typical restaurant which is unfortunate because I haven't got to go but I like this salad you can create whatever toppings and I get falafel and all the vegan sauce is obsessed with the baba ganoush and the green sauce. If I could I eat a salad everyday for lunch so good for you!! Ty friendly staff for doing all that hard work n feeding azusa healthy !! U rock“

“We ordered the Skewers Mixed Grill (Mshakkal) from Aladdin Jr Restaurant and Cafe in Covina through DoorDash and it was absolutely delicious. The portion size is incredible — it says it serves 2–3 people, but honestly it easily fed four of us with leftovers. Everything was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor.
The meats were tender, juicy, and well-seasoned, and the variety in the mixed grill makes it perfect for sharing. The rice and sides complemented the skewers really well and everything tasted fresh and authentic.
Another thing we really appreciated was the packaging. Our order arrived neatly packed and still warm, which makes such a difference when ordering delivery.
We’ve ordered from here multiple times and they’re consistently good, and the portions always leave us with leftovers for the next day (which taste just as great!).
The only thing we wish is that they offered their own delivery, because we would definitely order even more often. But even through DoorDash, it’s totally worth it.
If you're looking for flavorful Mediterranean food, generous portions, and reliable quality, Aladdin Jr is a great choice. Highly recommend the Mixed Grill!“

“Came here with my family and it was unbelievably delicious, the owner and son were very nice and generous, they are a family owned business and just opened up, I live near the area and was looking for something delicious and different and they definitely didn’t disappoint, I recommend this place for you and your family it’s located in Glendora California and most definitely stands out with beauty, try it ONCE AND YOUR HOOKED!!!!!!!“

“Food is delicious great staff“

“this is some of the best authentic Mediterranean food in Glendora.

I ordered the beef shawarma and chicken kabob plate with seasoned rice, fresh Mediterranean salad, warm pita bread, and their garlic sauce and hummus. Everything was bomb, flavorful, fresh, and cooked perfectly. The beef shawarma was tender and packed flavor, the chicken kabob was juicy with the perfect char, and the garlic sauce took everything to another level.

What impressed me just as much as the food was the service. Friendly, welcoming, and genuinely appreciative of their customers.

We need to do a better job supporting small businesses like this. Get out of your routine, skip the chains for a night, and go experience some of the best authentic Mediterranean food Glendora has to offer.

Thank me later. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“The word is out! I honestly can say that Lemon Mint is the hottest restaurant in the SGV for excellent Mediterranean cuisine and hookah. I’ve had friends from Glendale to Orange County hearing great things about Lemon Mint and I tell them the hype is real. The cuisine is fresh and authentic. The hookah is the cherry on top to a relaxed outdoor environment. Seating is limited so plan ahead to get a great seat. For you that love hookah, we always have the “Love 66”.
Ownership of this great establishment is always on sight making sure every customer is happy and taken care of. Thank you Sam for bringing such a great restaurant to Glendora.“

“Great food, decent portions and pricing is very fair for the quality of food. They are a must try if you enjoy fresh prepared, and BBQ style plates you can share from. You'll know once you get there and the aromas from the kitchen hit your nose. The creamy hummus was delicious.“

“Came here during the Glendora Village Holiday Stroll. It was so yummy! We tried the beef and chicken crepe sandwiches with garlic sauce and pesto. Everyone in our party loved what they ordered, even the decaf was amazing! 💓 great, friendly customer service also. Highly recommend!“

“I’m picky and it was excellent lots of food on your plate. You could even share one meal with two people if there’s a lot that comes with it very hearty meal extremely well seasoned very good. Service prices are good as well. Clean atmosphere really comfortable chairs overall I give five stars all the way around“

“Garden Salad and request to add the grilled salmon.“

“The food was great!! and good company.“

“Great place, delicious food 😋. Worth the drive 👍“

“The food is amazing! You can’t be the quality of the ingredients.“

“I was referred this hidden gem by a friend to try their bakery, namely the “Laham be ajeen” aka (Safiha) but I was tempted to try their spinach pies, which turned out to be a great idea. Family enjoyed the pies more than the famous bakeries of Brookhurst of Anaheim. I have bought some Baraze’ too but unfortunately they seemed to have been slightly under-cooked so I had to give them a little bit of toasting. Maybe it’s a personal choice of mine to have sesame on baraze’ cookies a bit darker and more toasty.
Their cooking menu is good. I would order in advance.
In the small grocery section, I was surprised to find some middle eastern delicacies at a decent price such as the coveted brown truffles in brine. I filled up 😎

While they have a couple of tables, I didn’t feel it was suitable to sit. The view is the parking lot and other businesses.“

“I've been searching for really good stuffed grape leaves since a former co-worker brought some of her home made dolma at work about 8 years ago... I've had some hits (mostly misses), but none compared to the one she made... now this... the search is over. Happy palate!😊 It's my first time here. What can I say? As soon as I entered the place, I can smell good things baking and cooking. The owner showed me trays of fresh baked pastries/pies (spinach, meat & cheese) as he took them out straight from the oven. Everything looked delicious. The service was great. I ordered to go and the owner gave me a sample of the Cheese Burak (Cheese Pie) to eat on the go. I started driving off and as soon as I took my first bite I regretted immediately why I did not order that.Everything we ordered were so flavorful and delicious. They also have the best Hummus. So I will definitely go back to this place. 😊“

“Excellent food (and service) at good prices. Dinner plates are hearty with plenty of food to split in half. Thank you!“

“The meal I had here was simply delicious! The chicken was tender , the steak was juicy , the humus savory , everything was great and I learned that all Baklava’s are not created equally . This Baklava is top tier! Definitely recommend and will eat here again.“

“Went yesterday with my Daughters and can I say the food was so amazing. It was everything I hoped it to be. We came all the way from L. A and it was worth the drive. We will definitely be back! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😍😍😍😍😍 every meal is made fresh. Hands down a favorite“

“K Grill Kabob has the best beef and chicken dishes. Their rice is so tasty that you don’t need any butter. I order from here regularly and thoroughly enjoy all I order each time. I have been a fan of Persian cuisine since I was a kid and K Grill Kabob is the best Persian restaurant in all of Southern California. You should try their great dishes. I know you will enjoy it!“

“This is the best Mediterranean food around. We love the chicken kabob plate. It’s a must have.“

“I love this place....all their dishes are delicious....if you haven't tried it....please do....there's never a day that the lines are out the door....speaks volumes!!!!

“Great service and great food. Everyone there is friendly and the food is wonderful. I'll have to go a few more times before I write about specific menu items.

I tried a bit of the Kebobs and the lulu sandwich. The sandwich was quite good with raw onions and tomatoes. But mostly, the atmosphere there was quite wonderful. Casual and friendly.“

“Excellent food with the cutest decor ❤️❤️❤️ not ganna lie, I first saw the store and thought I’m ganna go in and get some lemon ice cream of some sorts 🤣 and then I go inside and was like what’s this place?🤣I we end up getting a gyro and some fries, very yummy!“

“Great food at a reasonable price. My favorite items are salmon kabob, beef lula kabob, Israel. It was a great New Year Eve dinner.“

“Great experience eating here chicken is delicious“

“They prioritize Uber Eats over walk ins but over all the food is good but a bit pricey. But I’m only posting a review because I was having a really bad day and someone put this post it on the bag saying “have a great day” with cute stickers and it just really touched my heart. Thank you - I needed that“

“Amazing food! I have had just about everything on the menu. This place has won the San Gabriel Valley's BEST Reader's Choice Award for 2025, so you know it's going to be good! My favorite is the Feta and Olives, Lemon Potatos, Pita, Hummus and Gyro Meat. My wife has the Salmon all of the time and it's her favorite. My go to is usually the Classic Gyro. We also love the Feta Fries. Those are fantastic. My kids chow those down!“

“Excellent food and nice staff“

“Phone in your order to speed up the wait. I usually get the garlic chicken panini. It's so so so very good. Keep in mind the limited hours. I wish they were open for dinner. It's also one of the few places you can still get a copy of the Pasadena Weekly.

Parking: If you don't see a spot to park in front, just park in the back. You enter the parking lot on the west side of the building. There's always an empty parking spot in back, but not as shaded.“

“Came here before the Covina chris parade and was yummy as usual.“

“The staff was really nice and the food was fantastic! Looking forward to going again.“
