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

“This place is the bomb!

Healthy good wholesome Mediterranean food

We had a cashier server named Tiani. She was so kind to my wife and I, gave us sincere service with a smile and checked on us after we started the grub fest just because.

She also gave us recommendations and insight on the differences between the spices for the chicken

It was A1 customer service so Thank You CM and Tiani!!

Not only is the food delicious, but they had tunes playing at lunch time, classics from Prince to other ones I can’t even name, nice and steady.“

“This place is DIVINE. I’d put it in the top 10 restaurants I’ve ever tried. Truly an incredible experience from the culinary aspect to the service to every attention to detail. The seating is a few tables outside, they brought us complimentary persian tea. Every meal is individually wrapped with cute, themed stickers and decor, which had a special touch. Definitely some of the best persian food I’ve ever had. I’m not a big tahchin person but you MUST get it here. The kabob plates came with salad shirazi as well. Also very affordable for the amount of food we got. Cannot wait to come back here!“

“Great, healthy, flavorful food!“

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

“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.“

“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. !!!!!!“

“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.“

“We randomly ended up to this restaurant: small, but pleasant, the type of place where you can talk with your friends. Party of three, we had the fish carpaccio, the octopus, and the burger (gourmet burger!). Everything was prepared to perfection. They will definitely see us 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“

“Wonderful Vegan Palestinian Dinning Exprience with Chef Summer We were transported to Middle East, while sitting in the Majlis , the Vibrantly decorated Traditional sitting area, where your served In a style that feels like your being feed by family in their home. Which the Permited kitchen actually is the chefs home adding the extra layer of hospitality, unlike anything else . The from Scratch Dinner experience offered a variety of different cultural foods from Palestine, Summer shared stories with us about her culture , history, and her upbringing. Making the Food so much more special, knowing that is made with love and it's her form of resistance against oppression that she offers to the world . 20% of the proceeds are donated to Palestinian families, who are experiencing extreme hardships due to the Ongoing G3n!cide in Her Homeland.

“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.“

“The market is a very pleasant place to be on a Saturday the fruit corner is very good and I buy my best Fuji apples there and best tangerines and peaches. I enjoy the experience a lot. 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.“

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

“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.“

“We went to the Lantern Grill as a group of seven cyclists who had come from Orange County for lunch.
The owner of the restaurant greeted us warmly from the moment we walked in and was very friendly and generous, which we really appreciated. Our food was prepared relatively quickly, especially considering we were a larger group.
The overall quality of the food was average. Unfortunately, the rice and the pot roast were not hot when served. That took a bit of a toll on our experience.
Overall, this was a decent lunch stop with friendly service and could easily have been even better with a little improvement in the temperature and consistency of the food.“

“Very good food and service“
