50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Hawthorne

“How can I say this...I love Hummus House and have for years! The food is delicious and has never disappointed. I go every chance I go to Hawthorne.“

“I had the Chicken Kabob plare with Hummus and Maison Rice. The food was delicious. The chicken included a skewer with one little mushroom, one cherry size tomatoe, a sliver of red bell pepper and a small sliver of red onion. The vegetables kabob was delicious but such a tiny portion. I would have liked a full side of the grilled vegetables (4 skewers) which is not on the menu. Next time I visit I hope they make an exception and allow me to add the extra vegetable kabobs to my order.“

“I ordered beef kebab. It was great I will come back !!“

“Great dine in great food friendly staff and delivery is also great cool spot“

“The best place for an incredible night out in LA!

As soon as we parked the smell of the outdoor grill hit us. We knew we were in for something special.

We were sat immediately with a reservation, and had the best service. Mike was our waiter and was everything you want in a server and more. He was present but not overly so, he knew his wines well, and was clearly very passionate about the food. He’s service absolutely made our night!

The food was the only thing that overshadowed Mike’s excellence, every bite was divine.

We shared the hummus toast, zucchini, Japanese, sweet potato, Shishito peppers. And for mains enjoyed a chicken skewer, lamb chops, and ribeye.

The lamb was seasoned and cooked perfectly, being my best bite of the night, but the chicken skewer won the hearts of the larger group.

We finished off with their chocolate cake which was perfectly gooey in the center.

There is so much more I would come back for. The atmosphere was just spectacular! Beautiful outdoor seating area, suitable for larger groups or small tables. Good music and great vibes.

All in all I’m just upset that I didn’t come try this place sooner. Definitely going to be a staple of mine moving forward.

If you go ask for Mike (Big Chicago Bears fan). You’re in the best hands with him!“

“I was in LA for four nights, went to other notable restaurants, and this was by far the best dining experience I had. You feel like you are in a friend's home. All of the dishes were delicious, fresh, vibrant and beautiful. Every detail is intentional. The dishes and platers are stunning and thoughtfully chosen. Highly recommend. If you're in LA, don't miss Chef Okay Inak and Sora.“

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

“If you are looking for a showstopping meal to share, this is exactly what to order. My friend and I came in for a late-night dinner and were blown away by how every dish complemented the next.

Start with the Marinated Olives, briny and fragrant with orange, lavender, and garlic confit. The Wild Mexican White Shrimp skewers were bright and tender with preserved lemon vinaigrette, and the Brussels Sprouts with date purée and brown butter were absolutely unforgettable. The Spiced Lamb Bolognese Radiatore was rich, savory, and the perfect way to round out the meal.

Our server was quick, attentive, and made easy adjustments for my friend’s non-dairy restriction without compromising the flavors. Every plate came out beautifully presented and full of flavor.

The atmosphere kept a lively buzz even as the night wound down, and though our table filled quickly with plates, we still scraped every one clean.

This spot delivers on both flavor and vibe. Highly recommend these dishes if you want a memorable meal to share.“

“Elijah and the crew at Luna Grill are wonderful and nice! The food was delicious 😋 I’m definitely coming again! Thank you😊“

“This restaurant has excellent choice of delicious Lebanese food, beverages and desserts. Every thing is authentically signed (961) 🇱🇧🇱🇧“

“This is a very popular place as it gets crowded even before normal dinner time. The semi-indoor/outdoor seating area is clean and relaxing.“

“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.“

“5-star alert! My wife surprised me with this delicious Tunisian restaurant on Father’s Day! It was like an exotic trip to Mediterranean North Africa. The servers were good and the owner was super friendly and helpful! We had prawns, fish, lamb, cauliflowers, and the infamous Hand of Fatima. Everything was delicious, with unique flavors and beautifully presented. The sauces were so unique and flavorful, we had 3 orders of bread as we want to enjoy more of the flavors in every dish!“

“Came on a Thursday night and it was packed. It took 25 mins for my food to be ready, only 3 people working. The staffing didn’t meet TikTok-viral boosted demand. However, the chicken wrap was absolutely delicious. The different sauces that come with it are good and fun to dip, and the fries were flavorful, nice and crispy“

“The decor made you think you were on vacation. The food took your tastebuds to a whole other level of flavor! This place went above all my expectations. Everyone should try to visit @PalomaVenice“

“Ordered the chicken kebab plate with spicy potatoes and grilled vegetables and it was bursting with flavor! It definitely has a unique taste compared to most medditteran style food.

And the beef shwarma pizza... let me tell you what... WAS A STRAIGHT BANGER! Get extra garlic sauce to dip it in and you'll flalalyyyy to heaven with the first bite.

The owner also gave slice samples of their new vegetarian pizza and it made me want to go vegan. You can taste each vegetable and wasn't overpowered by the sauce.

Restaurant is very clean and the decoration makes you feel like you're in another country. This family owned business is very passionate with making their food taste good with all sorts of unique spices so give this spot a try! You won't regret it ;)“

“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!!!!“

“A friend and I had lunch fresco style- patio area great! Superb service and food! The Lamb Chops were amazing! The Falafels were great— friend said they were super crunchy!“

“Biggest strength: staff is friendly and nice.
Biggest weakness: long wait to get food

The restaurant was empty when I came in and it took 23 minutes to get a chicken kebab plate. A bit too long to be the only customer.

The food is good. Not great, but not bad or bland either.

The staff is very friendly and nice.

Price-wise it’s average. 24 dollars (included tax and tip) for a plate is not cheap but sadly has become the norm here in LA“

“Absolutely the best food and great service. The baklava is probably the best I’ve tasted in a while. We’ll certainly be back again!“

“Been meaning to check this place out for a while, and I finally got a chance this afternoon. I ordered the falafel plate. The food was made fresh to order. The falafel was crispy, and the hummus was perfect. He threw in some spicy eggplant, which was fantastic!

There’s a small seating area inside and some tables outside if you want to eat there. I did carryout.

Love this place! I’ll definitely be stopping by again!“

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.“

“Amazing food! We went for my son's birthday lunch and everyone ordered something different it was amazing! Everything tasted wonderful! Service was great and very welcoming staff and the cooks were helpful with questions as well. There breakfast seems almost like a hidden secret menu because I wasn't aware that it existed but it sounds delicious and I can't wait to try it so definitely ask about that you can get coffee there too!! 😁“
