50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Lake Balboa

“Omg the most delicious breakfast I have ever had , mr jamshid is the kindest person, thank you always and appreciate your neatness for this wonderful restaurant“

“Very friendly and healthy atmosphere me and my guests had a blessed. Amazing food, beautiful hall“

“Lemon Zest consistently delivers delicious food with the convenience of easy app ordering. Their new location on Reseda is beautifully designed, creating a great dining experience. The portions are generous, offering excellent value for the price. My two kids love the beef lule kebab plate—it’s big enough for them to share, with leftovers to spare. As someone who eats mostly vegan, I really appreciate the variety of plant-based options. I’ve tried the falafel plate, falafel wrap, veggie wrap, and several appetizers—all have been flavorful and satisfying. Highly recommend!“

“Great spot for lunch or dinner“

“Lamb, beef, falafel, hummus, cauliflower, etc. Fresh made bread so fluffy & soft to dip into the creamiest hummus ever. The falafel made with a perfect crunch & so moist & tasty on the inside, lamb & beef...PERFECTION! Joe, the owner, very soft spoken & humble when given a compliment. Service, EXCELLENT! I read the reviews yesterday & today we had to try it. If I had 3 thumbs 👍👍👍😉😁 Our lunch feast! Excellent!! 😋😋⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great foods and good portions too. 2nd time there and still delicious. 👍🥰“

“Luna Grill was looking real clean when I walked in, so off to a good start. Ordered the chicken and beef kabob plate...solid portion for the price. Flavors were nice, but the beef leaned a little salty. Now, about those metal chairs… rock hard. Felt like I was sitting on a slab of concrete. A little padding wouldn’t hurt. Food was good, though, so I’d come back...just maybe seat on the booth next time.“

“This is the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever had! Everything was so flavorful! I had the lamb kabob plate and my dad had the chicken kabob plate, and both were fantastic! I eat a lot of mediterranean and this is absolutely the best! Its my new go to spot.“

“Incredible Mediterranean flavors! ?
The hummus was creamy, the falafel crispy, and the kebabs juicy. The service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was cozy. I highly recommend it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Shout out to Jasmine.

“Dinner was superb tonight“

“todo está súper rico de verda selos recomindo yummy 😋“

“Delicious sandwiches/wraps. My group tried the bens way gyro and the chicken delight. She made the meal as fast as she could and they turned out great. The large pita and hummus wasnt available at the time, so she made the medium. The pitas and hummus were top notch. Competitive pricing for sandwiches of this quality in the area.“

“Definitely a go to place for comfort food! It was my first time to go here with my girlfriends and their happy hour is worth it! Since then I kept coming back or order delivery. My favorite is the gyro combo with some sweet potato waffle fries. Don't forget the garlic aoli sauce (thank me later ;D)“

“Such a wonderful vegan oasis in the San Fernando Valley! As locals know vegan offerings in the valley are limited compared with the rest of the city. I am so happy that I found this place I will be coming here often! Great food and atmosphere all around!“

“DELICIOUS 😋HEALTHY FOOD AND VERY NICE AND FRIENDLYCUSTOMER SERVICE .“

“A wonderful place! We ordered takeout for dinner, and everything was top-notch. The portions were generous, the food was delicious, and the service was great. The menu variety was impressive, with something for everyone. The prices are justified by the quality, and we were very satisfied. It’s a great spot to enjoy a good meal. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Have you ever entered a business and immediately feel like you just walked into your home where family is waiting to greet you? That was the very feeling I had when I stopped by the NoHo Cafe today. I knew the food was good as I used the delivery service before. Today I decided to visit the Cafe and I promise I’ll continue going frequently. The food is delicious but what won me over was the welcome and love you experience when you walk in the door. The staff is amazing... the Cafe has a very “welcome home” atmosphere. The complimentary cup of soup is AWESOME. I sat at a corner table allowing me to do what I love...watch people. As I enjoyed my delicious first meal of 2020 I watched as every person who entered was treated with care and joy. Just like being home the staff will keep checking to see if the food is ok and if you need anything. The NoHo Cafe is a place I recommend to anyone wishing to enjoy a good meal and to experience a “welcome home” feeling. Thank you NoHo Cafe for starting my 2020 with a reminder of the importance of kindness.“

“Came on a Saturday to enjoy Mediterranean BBQ. Staff was amicable, a little slow in serving and taking orders and came to our table with someone else's order. I would highly recommend they do a number system (assign table number to customers for staff to reduce confusion). It was decent food, spices and grilled veggies were good. Chicken was a little thick and hard to cook all the way through those meats. Steak was a bit dry. Seasoned fries and hummus, Pita bread was good. Ambiance was settle, no music or noises. A little pricy but portions are good. Clean establishment. Parking can be a little tight in the parking lot.“

“Wow also serving hookah after 8:00 pm.“

“The lamb gyros are the best things ever. 😊“

“The Lule kabob is very juicy and tender! Full of flavor! Very friendly staff, ready to take your order. Catering services are excellent too. They are closed Sundays, but they may cater food for special events on Sundays is you ask!“

“Yes I highly recommend the food, the service, and atmosphere.“

“I love this spot the owner has great Persian food , the kinda flavor that is so different then the rest of the Persian res in the area, I swear the owner is this older nice men the place has home made food smells so good !He makes the best horash sabzi it’s the green herbs stow it comes with a side of rice and it’s really delicious!My friend loves kabobs so he orders that and says it’s very good !All the locals of the area eat here :)So in case you are in the Woodland Hills neighborhood I recommend grabbing lunch at this placeI enjoy every time I come here it reminds meof my moms food , so thank you for this“

“Got there right at closing time with our online order mistakenly scheduled for the next day, and manager Juan and server Vanessa could not have been more gracious and professional in how they handled the situation. They rallied to make sure I got the wrap I ordered for my son, and I am extremely grateful for the team taking the time to make him a delicious meal even after all the food was put away for the night. Kudos and thank you!“

“Very nice meals. Good luck!“

“Most delicious food you can ask for“

“Food is really good, good prices, lot of food“

“Great food and friendly staff. Owners greet you and serve!“

“Delicious love coming here“

“Combination of new management and new ownership makes it very well and highly recommended. Because of my excellent experience of the Brentwood location, just wanted to see, how is the new location. I'm glad, i had a chance to get another excellent experience one more time here in Beverly ����“

“Such a lovely, beautiful and relaxing outdoor patio. Very good food. Best warm chocolate chip cookies ever!! We will def come back again soon.“

“The cashier was rude , I asked her if they sold carne asada fries. She pointed to the menu. I said it only says nachos. She replied " no" our Antonio's nachos are fries. How would I know that! I'm not a regular customer. And with that type of customer service surely I will not be a regular customer.“

“I’m always doubtful when I see a 5 star review, but this neighborhood gem certainly deserves it. The staff is friendly, everything is clean, but the food!!! We ordered the family plate (to eat there) which was to feed 4, and we could only eat about half - it could feed 4 growing teenagers. Everything they brought out was delicious. There was a plate of pickled vegetables, a bowl of fantastic hummus with pita, a large plate of garlic fries, a plate full of grilled vegetables, and a large platter full of grilled meats. Everything was flavored to perfection. The beef kabob was cut-with-a-fork tender. I would definitely come back. The only problem is that it is too close to home and I’d be temped to go too often!“

“Leider waren die Besitzer nicht da Hätte gerne mit Ihnen ein bisschen gequatscht😏“

“I've eaten here twice now. First time ran in and ordered a Falafel with Hummus and Tabuleh. It was so delcious - some of the best I have ever had. Came back for lunch with mu huband for lunch and he had a Schwarma salad. It was also delicious. The garlic sauce and home made bread served with salad was amazing. Will go back again and even go out of my way to enjoy this specail little spot.“

“The food is amazing! I will definitely be going back. If you go for lunch order ahead, they make everything fresh.“

“Polecam ............. :)“

“Susan is delightful, and the food is FRESH & DELICIOUS....oh, that laffa bread!!!!!!!“

“This has been one of my favorite places to eat for many years, but the quality of food and the portion size have been noticeably diminished to a sub-par level it's so disappointing. I would suggest charging a little more to get it back up to speed!“

“Great food, friendly service“

“La Bella Mediterranean Restaurant has stolen our hearts as our ultimate go-to spot for Middle Eastern delights. With its perfect fusion of flavors and the sweet touch of Armenian charm, it's like dining in a cozy corner of our own home.Walking into La Bella feels like stepping into a clean, welcoming restaurant where every visit promises a delicious plate. And let's not forget the family matriarch - she's an absolute sweetheart who adds an extra sprinkle of love to every dish.From classics to creative twists, the menu never fails to surprise and delight our taste buds especially their super appetizing power plate known as the Sampler which has five different types of middle eastern dish sides to enjoy and yes they do make their Sarma (filled grape leaves wrapped with wonderful ingredients) fresh and not out of a can. Additionally we enjoy their entrees without ever being disappointed. It's clear that the chefs pour their hearts into each plate, and it shows in every bite.We couldn't be happier that La Bella has taken over this restaurant. It's become our go-to spot for any occasion, big or small. With its warm atmosphere and delectable dishes, La Bella has truly become a part of our culinary journey. We can't recommend it enough!“

“Phenomenal food, great location and prices. Excellent service, the main guy is super friendly and nice to everyone. I am writing this review because I saw a Google review from years ago about someone claiming they experienced Asian Hate and I highly doubt they did. This place is super welcoming and I've been coming every day. Other Asian American reviewers on Google said they also had fantastic experiences here. I'm visiting LA and have been spending my money here every day for breakfast/brunch. I recommend you try their food“

“Wow… this was truly spectacular… idk what I got… but the sandwich was a top 5 all time!! The meat is so freaking tasty, smells amazing and tastes even better. I asked for a recommendation and the cashier suggested correctly!! If I lived closer, I’d be here weekly.“

“Best burgers in LA... come here at least once a month“

“Been going here since I was in middle school

They have the friendliest staff. It's run by a lovely Armenian family

They always have great hospitality service and a smile. I also love seeing Salvadoran soda available as a fellow Salvi ??

They used to do onion rings back in the day but they're not on the menu. I wonder what happened because I used to love them

But the food here is straight up. Amazing! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but what introduced me to this place was their burgers which are just incredible. I just got one after so long and I just couldn't help but notice that it looks like the Real life version of the Krabby Patty

Love to see this place is still going strong“

“I GENUINLEY really love how everytime I come here it’s never a dull experience. The workers here are so nice always ready to serve and help. I wish I could name each one of them ! But this is definitely my favorite cava of them all!! Especially Zeke he’s a star grill employee always making sure customers get the freshest food!“

“I enjoyed a healthy and delicious lunch meal here. The staff was very friendly and helpful with recommendations.“

“Serra is amazing! and so is her food!“
