50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Garden Grove

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I never thought vegan food would be so yummy! I got the potato salad and the "favorite dish" of the super nice young man who owns the business. I would definitely recommend it!!!“

“Yes and yes! Great menu! Will be back!“

“I always get the combo over rice with white sauce. The meat is always consistent and I enjoy the food very much. The restaurant is clean and the employees are great. Good service overall at the Garden Grove location.

Parking: Park anywhere it is available.“

“The best place to try Bosnian food! I can’t pick one favorite, from cevapi to pizza to pita , this food taste like homemade. All employees are nice and friendly, but the owner is an amazing human being, so humble and approachable, honest and relatable, love chatting with him every time we visit Cali, which is usually 2-3 times a year and we make sure we eat lunch and dinner at Sofra Urbana every day. See you soon! Can’t wait for the most delicious Bosnian food on the west side of the United States.“

The service is top notch, and the chef, Mr Cotch is the best. The atmosphere is very pleasant and inviting, it's a great place to have events and parties, dine in, or call and order by phone. I highly recommend it to everyone who enjoys authentic middle eastern cuisine. Cheers.“

“I had such a great experience at Luna Grill! The food was super fresh and flavorful, everything came out quickly and was perfectly cooked. What really stood out, though, was the service. Sarah, the cashier, was so friendly and helpful! She took the time to explain a few menu items and made sure everything with my order was just right. It’s so nice to see genuine customer service like that. Definitely coming back soon!!“

“The staff always talk to me like I’m their neighbor! They are so friendly and so willing to help me get the perfect bowl. With each bite I’m sent to heaven and after every minute I come back down to earth in this little paradise called Cava. They’re epic and sometimes I come just to say hi. Shoutout Ivan, Chris, Sergio, Ernesto.“

Definitely would recommend this place.“

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! 🇹🇷❤️“

“I’ve been showing up this CAVA since it opened up with my coworkers, and it’s been amazing! The wait times are super short, service is always great (thank you Reyna & Catherine for always going the extra mile & even remembering our orders), and the food is amazing! The only thing I would add is maybe some extra shade for the outdoor seating area and opening up the side door so that we can re-enter. Overall, great place for lunch - thank you again to all the workers that make this place reliable and fun :-)“

“This has become my favorite food!
Very healthy and wholesome.
Service is exceptional and owner very kind. I got a complementary baklava piece because I kept eyeing it and kind owner noticed. Thank you Pom & Olive for your kind gesture. May God bless you with many more years of great food and service. Amen.“

“I like the food and the service when I sit in. I have ordered from the app for pick up a few times which is really convenient! However, each time I order a greens and grains bowl, it seems like a much smaller amount of food compared to when I walk in and ask for the same ingredients at the counter. I’m still hungry after eating the pick-up bowl. I’d prefer if they added more greens and grains at the bottom. Thanks!“

“Food is consistently good, service is great, had the chicken kebab and Barramundi plate, both were excellent. Will be back!“

“we are from Alaska so we maybe fresh fish snobs... but this was absolutely delish, fast, and priced great. highly recommend so glad we stumbled upon ot!“

“Food was so good we ate here on our 7 day vacation in California, we drove to San Diego and drove back just to get more. 10/10 will return back when I come California again inshallah. The grill tomato with onion is so good and the meat cooked very good. Great service too, very kind staff.

Only downside is the outdated seats and tables

May Allah bless this business , Ameen ??

The portions are hearty, flavor consistent, and prices family-friendly. While service flow and space may feel informal at times, the overall experience remains elevated by quality food and genuine hospitality.“

“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.“

“Friendly workers, really good food. The location is quite small and kind of in a random spot in the middle of a business park. However, that doesn't stop me from coming here anytime I get a craving for Mediterranean food. O man, their spicy potatoes...mmmm. It's a definite must-have. Their prices are a little high, but their plates do come with big portions.“

“On our vacation and during the very busy US Surfing Open weekend, this place was super accommodating and allowed our family of 15 to reserve tables for dinner when other restaurants were full. The gyro wrap was the best I've ever had anywhere! I came back the next day for another one! Would definitely recommend! Location right across from the pier is great!“

“Highly recommended Best service home style family restaurant“
