Middle Eastern Restaurants near Gardena, CA

“I like the food Jamil n actman is the best“

“I’ve seen this place since 2017 but never decided to eat here once I found out it was a Greek restaurant (at that point I thought they just served chopped up grilled chicken on top of bowls of salads with olives) but boy was I wrong.
The service is as good as the food, both magnificent. I finally came here because of LATryGuy on YouTube review in one of his YouTube channel shorts and when I saw the chicken I said “OH it’s like Dino’s Greek style chicken with the seasoning and lemon juice on the bed of fries at Dino’s restaurant) I tried both types of lemon garlic chicken meals at Maisons so far the regular and spicy (which it’s actually not that spicy at all) and they were good. The gyro is good too, I’m just disappointed they have not re-upped on the LEGENDARY LAMB CHOPS for months after the review. Next I have to try the shrimp pasta like LA TRY Guy reviewed he said it was a 10/10 for everything.“

“This was my first time eating here. I must say the food was amazing. I'm used to going to Westwood for my Persian food however having this spot in the neighborhood is fantastic. They serve the same food here as they do in Westwood. Check out the menu it's amazing. I had an opportunity to meet with Reza the owner Chef a super nice guy.“

“Great kebabs, and the BEST Persian ice cream!“

“Love love this little gem. The food was amazing. The owner was so kind. I felt like I was in someone's home. They way they served our food, and brought it out to us. Felt like aunty was cooking just for us. We love you guys so much. And I will definitely be coming back more regularly. Viva Palestina!!!!“

“We ordered this takeout. I must say, even with a 15 minute drive home, the food was delicious. The food was very, very tasty and cooked to perfection. It was a little pricey but worth it.“

“Great, healthy, flavorful food!“

“We are blessed to have this King Mediterráneo in Torrance. The food is delicious and very generous on the portion served. When I go there, I always try to say hello to Ara or Norah. It is such a pleasure to see and talk to them, they make me feel that we are long time friends. For sure I recommend this place and give them a FIVE STAR rating. I assure you will not be disappointed. !!!!!!“

“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.“

“I gave 4 stars for atmosphere because it's at the mall and it's very loud but other than that the customer service I receive is always the best. Food is always delicious and I don't mind waiting at times because I know it will be steaming hot and delicious 😋“

“From the Kansas Citian. ......a very nice atmosphere with cost effective $$$ Prices! Good Nutritious Food! Coach John Arthur Carstens! P.S. will return again to Marina Del Rey !“

“The food tasted and looked great. Large portions and seemingly fresh ingredients.“

“Great food! Had the chicken shawarma and really enjoyed it. It came with pita bread, garlic dip, and two sides. There’s a long list of sides to choose from so you can mix and match to your desire. The chicken was tasty, juicy, and has the perfect char from cooking on the spit. The portion was very large and filled me up with some leftovers.
Staff was very friendly! Will be coming back and trying other items.“

“Chicken Dijon in Torrance, has really great food, the employees are always friendly, smiles and accommodating. I have been going for several years and will continue to patron this location. I also found them very smart in proving a free drink for a yelp. I think a trend offering this type of promotion would be good business.“

“delicious food , service with a smile . Friendly place, warm atmosphere. Will be back. I recommend it😁👍👍👍“

“Service was friendly place was clean. Food was made fresh, veggies were crisp. All there house made sauces original garlic was my preference.

I got the grilled steak a little chewy still had the nice grill flavor I’ll try the chicken next time.

Overall a pleasant experience.“

“Very good food and service“

“This is a small spot for eating middle eastern grilled dishes. We had the lamb chops and minced meat kebab. If you like Turkish or Persian or Middle East style dishes this is a good place. You will have to buy a beverage ($4 or $5 for soft drink) since they don’t offer free water. Parking is free at the strip mall lot.“
