15 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Irvine

“Alex helped us out today and he was great. He took our order, repeated it back to us to make sure it was correct, upon delivering the food he brought our more forks and knives, then cleared away our plates at the end. Service was amazing, and the food was too. We got the lunatic sampler plater; the falafel was hot and tasty, the stuffed grapes leaves yummy and the hummus with pita also tasty. The salad had a nice herb dressing.“

“Always like coming here for a quick, fresh lunch while I’m working on UCI campus. I especially like the salads - falafel on a Mediterranean salad is delicious. Very friendly staff!“

“Great healthy food! Service was great.“

“I went in today and Izzy helped me out with my bowl, she was very patient and understanding as it was my first time back in a while. Overall the staff was super friendly, the store was very clean and the portions are great! Will be coming back again soon!“

“Have been coming to TKS for years now and they have consistently delivered good food at a great value. My favorite is the Same Diego with lamb, the fries gives it a special taste. And don't forget their sauceses, they are so delicious.“

“Fast and friendly service. I like the current loyalty points system- so much easier than hunting for an app, login info, rewards, erc. All you need is your phone number. I got the protein bowl with chicken and it was excellent. Nice and bright inside too. They do school fundraisers which brought me out to lunch today, and the experience was well worth it.“

“Great service and reasonable prices“

“wonderful food - never had a bad meal here. Their lentil soup is fantastic.“

“Fantastic Mediterranean food!! I had the gyro and my friend had the chicken kabobs. Both were amazing but I gotta say, hands down, the best gyro I ever had. It was huge and I actually ate it all! Service was amazing, everyone was so nice and we actually had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was warm and welcoming as well. The baklava ice cream is a MUST TRY!

PS they have an enclosed patio which was perfect for friend's kids to play while we enjoyed our meal. Huge plus!“

“Wow wow wow, my first time here, I had beef Soltani, it was the best Soltani i ever had, brave owner and staff“

“We got the chicken pita and beef/lamb pita. The pita was really soft and warm. Everything else was sauced/seasoned very well. Definitely coming back for the food.

Cashier was super helpful and attentive. Seating area is kept clean and tidy.“

“The food is the best thing that happened to Irvine. It is fresh, crisp, clean eating. Thank you and keep it up!“

“This restaurant is absolutely phenomenal. The atmosphere is warm and friendly which is evident from all interactions with every staff member. The food and service are excellent in every sense of the word. The bread and baklava were made fresh! The Turkish Delights were phenomenal. The owner and staff went to great lengths to make us feel comfortable and welcome, explaining the menu items in detail. We are so excited to have come across this gem!!! It is the type of culinary and cultural experience that my husband and I treasure. We will be coming again soon, both with and without friends! We can’t wait to try some of the items on the patio grill. :)“

“Best food I’ve had in a long time!!“

“Been coming here for years for lunch with co-workers. Come here once in a while with my wife for dinner. The place had a kind of Parisian bistro atmosphere in the evenings. There are many Persian delights on the menu, but I come for the Fesengen. Service is always friendly and excellent. Sometimes I call it in and pick it up on my way home to eat at home.“
