11 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Encino

“Had a great experience at The Kebab Shop! The manager, Juan, was super helpful and welcoming—great customer service makes all the difference. I ordered the grilled chicken bowl and it was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The bathrooms were clean, which is always a plus in my book. Even though they opened a new location in Santa Clarita, this one remains top tier—the taste here is always on point. Definitely my go-to spot!“

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

“This is one of my go-to lunch spots. Everything I've tried is absolutely delicious, and the service is amazing, they are truly kind people. Prices are very reasonable, especially for the portion size. I can't recommend Lusy's enough.“

“Awesome spot for lunch (and dinner too I suppose)! I work across the street and come here all the time. The prices justify the more than generous portions, and you’re not left feeling like you got lied to. Flavor is amazing, always on point. If you work around the area, order beforehand and go pick up your food because it can get pretty busy during the lunch rush. 5/5.“
