Middle Eastern Restaurants near Gardena, CA

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

“First time visiting this restaurant and let me tell you, amazing customer service, rhe guys that help us went above and beyond. Food was delicious 😋. I order 1/4 original chicken with Mason rice and salad. My kids order chicken kabob with Mason rice and salad. I will definitely come back.“

“Koobideh meal is delicious just how I cook at home. Tahchin has cardamom in it which I'm not used to, but it is still good. The ghormeh sabzi is good but lacking some lemon flavor for me. Ask for extra Omani lemon/lime to squeeze into the stew. House doogh was very good. Owner Reza is very nice and friendly. Overall a good experience. No restroom on premesis.“

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

“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. !!!!!!“

“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.“

“Wow. I just put my fork in to pull some chicken meat off and it was so tender the bone popped right out (even though it wasn’t my intent) and came off 100% clean. Unreal.. reminds me of the food back home. Can’t wait to try everything on the menu including the fried eggplant vegan sandwich. We got the lemon chicken, falafel, and fried cauliflower, which is more like a cauliflower steak than florets. Delicious but just an fyi.“

“The breakfast / brunch menu has a good concept and good options. The merguez sandwich was good, but too oily. The fries were done well but too salty.

I wish they cooked the food with less oil and salt. Maybe I'll request that if I stop by to eat there again.“

“Best Persian food in the area. There is no cheating Persian food. It has to be fresh. Everything is made to order with quality. Chicken and beef are tender. The sides are amazing. My only gripe is I want them to get bigger but not lose their quality.“

“Delicious food and friendly workers“

There is a place for kids to run and play and comfortable tables to have a delicious meal bought at the market. I recommend the coffee there too and the bread. Enjoy the experience.“

“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.“

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

“We’ve been here multiple times and honestly every time has been a great experience. The food is always fresh and delicious, the atmosphere is warm and relaxed, and the staff are genuinely kind and welcoming.

You can really feel that the management cares about the customers and about maintaining the quality of the restaurant. It’s one of those places that feels comfortable whether you go with family or friends.

The kebabs were excellent, the rice was perfect, and everything tasted authentic and homemade. Definitely one of our favorite Persian spots in OC right now. Highly recommended.“

“We had just landed and were in a hurry, looking for a quick bite before heading to Ventura—and Panini Kabob Grill exceeded every expectation.

From the moment we sat down, the service was exceptional. Danny, our server, was quick, attentive, and incredibly efficient—truly amazing. It’s rare to feel so well taken care of, especially when you’re short on time.

And the food… absolutely spectacular. The rice was perfectly cooked (Persian style), the salad was fresh (avocado on point) and vibrant, and the chicken was tender and full of flavor. Every bite was delicious.

What started as a quick stop turned into a standout experience. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Very good food and service“
