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.“

“Great customer service, the music on point loved the hole 80’s theme. Manager was beyond professional very knowledgeable with salad and chicken flavors I love the Maison special salad so much I bought 3 of them. Keep up the good work guys definitely better management now.“

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

“Food was pretty good. Daphne's has a policy of being stingy on some items, even when they sell specific meals that should be better curated. For instance, you only get to have a small amount of bread and only one sauce in a group meal for four people. I wont return mainly for that reason.

This location seems to be going for the ambiance of a hole in the wall 90s Greek restaurant. It's probably more authentic, but it's just so funny when the prior location I went to was set up very modern. They don't have a light up sign out front and their menus are on 24 inch monitors like 10 feet off the ground.“

“I waited a year to come here from the east coast, and it was worth the wait. From the food to the atmosphere, I felt like I was in another dimension with the unique take on regional cooking styles to the sound quality of the music. You could taste the freshness in the ingredients — even the cheese in the dessert was clearly homemade and freshly made. This is such a unique and special place. Thank you for a wonderful experience. This was the best food I had in a long time.“

“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 like the food Jamil n actman is the best“

“Loved this place. I went there with my friend and had incredible experience. Food was so good, we loved porkbelly skewer. My friend ordered french toast, it was awesome. Other brunch menus were nice too, cinammon roll focaccia was sooooo good-a little too sweet but it's good to have once in a while! Restaurant itself was so cute and clean, loved the vibe. The hostess lady was so nice and welcoming. We will def come back here ❣️“

“I had this placed saved on Instagram and decided to give it a try. It did not disappoint! We got the chicken kebab plate with extra pita bread. It was so delicious 😋 EVERY bite produced a happy dance. Customer service was great. The girl at the counter was very patient with us. There’s outside seating where we chose to sit and free parking on the side streets. I would’ve given them five stars but the fries were lukewarm. They were seasoned and crispy but warm. I will definitely be back and I can’t wait to eat my leftovers tomorrow.“

“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) 🇱🇧🇱🇧“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“Simply delicious food. Look forward to visiting again soon! Baklava - to die for!!!“

“From the moment my brother and I walked in, the atmosphere felt like family — welcoming, relaxed, and genuinely warm. The food completely exceeded expectations, especially the Persian-style pizza, which absolutely blew me away with its unique flavors and perfect balance. The baklava was rich, fresh, and unforgettable, easily some of the best I’ve had. And the hookah flavors? Truly extraordinary — smooth, flavorful, and expertly prepared. This place isn’t just a restaurant, it’s an experience. I’ll definitely be coming back and bringing friends with me. Thank you Sina, Amir and Majid!“

“Clean, fresh and flavorful food - Cornish hen kabob plate and tabouli salad- was quite a nice surprise and delightful experience nestled in the heart of the Garment district.“

“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. !!!!!!“

“I love Cravings’ food and the fact that it has so many options to pick from. Their menu has a great variety, it’s quite impressive. Shane and his wife are very friendly and provide a great service. I have ordered meals from daily lunch to catering food for the office and the food is always delicious. I highly recommend this place. Prices are accessible too.“

“I think I may have a small addition to the 2 for 1 special they have for under $20. Qty 2 1/4 🐔 chicken and 2 sides. I am in love with their stuffed 🍇 grape 🍃 leafs. I order it in Uber and we pick it up or have it delivered. Next time I'll take photos. I'll be back like Norm at Cheers 🍻“

“This place is my new favorite food in central LA! The food tasted so fresh and looked exactly like the photos, if not better. My daughter and I went prom dress shopping and stopped here for a bite, she does not even like middle Easter food and told me she loved this food. The service was amazing too!“

“I love The Vegetarian with chicken breast � which is healthy and delicious! The staff are friendly and nice. They treat you like family �“

“Love this mom and pop shop. So awesome to see this hardworking older couple work alongside each other. Mom is so friendly at the register, dad is cooking the food right in front of you. Food has a homemade delicious taste, I can’t get enough of the gyro I find myself craving it even if I went yesterday! Highly recommend price level great value.“

“My Favorite L.A. restaurant by all means. I need to feel the love one puts into their food. And this is the place I feel it the most. Delish, home-style, served with a smile in a kind, friendly way. The one place that I walk into and feels like home. Thank you for you guys“

“We’ve been to most of the Bacari locations in LA, but this was our favorite by far! The service was truly amazing. Tiffany went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. We felt so genuinely cared for as customers and that seems so hard to find these days in the city.

We ordered our usual drinks and dishes, but everything somehow tasted even better this time. Huge thanks to Tiffany and the Bacari team for a wonderful experience!“

“Food was delicious , menu had so much to choose from“

“It was my first time visiting, and the staff were very kind and helpful in their explanations, which made for a very pleasant experience. The food was delicious, too.
I definitely want to go back again to try some of their other dishes.“

“They have an awesome multiple day deals you can try. We went on a Tuesday for the gryo wraps and fries combo that could feed up to 5 people.

The gyro was decent and the fries were nice and crispy. The portions were a little bit small, so it felt like it could likely feed 4 instead of 5.

The staff was very nice and friendly.“

“I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned — especially the hummus and the grilled meats. The staff were welcoming and attentive, and the atmosphere felt warm and authentic. You can really taste the quality and care in every dish. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Consistently good food and friendly service. My husband and I have never been disappointed with anything we've had from their menu! Super delicious!!!“

“Absolutely fantastic food! Not a fan of Key Lime pie but something told me to get it and I'm glad I did. Amazing and light without being overpowering or too sweet! We need a place like this in Boston (hint hint-expansion!). I'm here in LA for a month and I'll definitely be back!“

“delicious food in a beautiful setting.“

“The Rotisserie chicken was amazing!! I give it a 10! The spicy coleslaw was really good as well! Glad we decided to order for dinner. Yum! 🙂“

“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.“

“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.“

“I give this beef shawarma wrap a 10/10! The flavor was incredible — perfectly seasoned, juicy, and wrapped up fresh. Every bite was so good. The location itself is really nice and in a great spot, although parking can be a little tight. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place and will for sure be coming back!“
