50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Lawndale

“Dynamite Mediterranean spot located in a Lawndale area ghost kitchen. Everything that I tried here was fresh-tasting, well-seasoned and so delicious! Standouts for me were the kafta kabob and the gyro meat. I was very impressed with the authenticity of the flavors and the loving care put into the preparation and the presentation. And, the accompanying baba ganoush was very fresh and tasty. David, the chef and owner (along with his wife) is very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be returning to try some other items on the menu.“

“Awesome food with lots of great flavor. We enjoyed our experience and definitely would recommend to others to try. 10/10“

“Great food, everything we tried were very tasty. You order your food from kiosk, and unfortunately no alcohol served, also it’s in the sketchy part of downtown but that makes the parking easier,
since street in front of the restaurant was empty. However, food taste made up for those.“

“The food was fantastic! The owner, Laith? (I completely forgot to ask his name!), was very hospitable and friendly. We got the beef shawarma and gyro. Both were very tasty, but I preferred the gyro. The garlic sauce and hummus were outstanding. Everything we ordered was delicious. My husband liked the Original shake too. He said it’s like drinking banana bread in the best way! 😂 It was a bit warm without AC, but be tolerable. We will be coming back! 😊“

“I love this place and come constantly. The food and service are fabulous. The staff are extremely friendly and the atmosphere is so beautiful. I really wanted to give five stars, but I just wish the owner would fix the A/C. I feel really bad that the staff have to work in such hot temperatures in the summer, especially the gentleman working the grill. Please fix it for them and I'll be happy to leave another 5-star review :)“

“Love Chicken Maison! when I pull up at . The spicy lemon garlic chicken is so good and fresh. They always greet you with a smile and explain the menu to you. I love the music selection while i was waiting.
A whole vide. The manager Eric was very helpful and polite.“

“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!“

“Went in for some take out and service was friendly, warm, and efficient. I ordered the lemon garlic chicken and it was amazing. So tender, so flavorful, and great portions. I tried different sides and I enjoyed every single one. I have recommended to friends and family who'd love a delicious, flavorful meal with excellent service.“

“Truly authentic Greek. Portions generous. Price surprisingly reasonable. Feels like a real honest place.
Shd book in advance. They looked real busy the Sunday we went for lunch. Still, the service was good, our Peruvian host Kiara never missed a beat, or gentle smile.
Sunday is our preferred day to come when we are missing Greek cuisine, vis there’s the Mar Vista farmers market to enjoy too just 60 yards across road.“

“Amazing breakfast and pastries right on the water in Marina Del Rey! Fabulous service too! Highly recommend!“

“just check your takeout meal is complete before you leave they forgot my pita bread huhu“

“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’ve been coming to Z Garden for years and it never disappoints. The falafel is absolutely delicious—crunchy on the outside, tender inside, and seriously mouthwatering. The chicken shawarma plates are just as good: savory, flavorful, and always satisfying. Great Mediterranean food, generous plates, and the kind of neighborhood spot I’m always happy to come back to.“

“Fresh, filling and delicious!“

“I came here to celebrate an anniversary with my wife, and what an amazing dining experience. When you first enter, the decor and layout is very inviting. Once we were seated, our server had great energy. The cocktail drinks are very unique, and the tasting menu is absolutely delicious and an incredible best value. All dishes are small plates, so a 5 course dinner was perfect to share. Pro tip, get two different tasting menus so you have more items to share. The dishes are substantial enough that by dish 3 we were pretty stuffed, but every course was superior! Our server and general manager were incredibly attentive and made for a very memorable dinning experience. Thank you!“

“well fortunately. the soup is probably the best I've tried in a very long time. the garlic bread its delicious. you should stop by and consider the place. good background music and sports on TV. it doesn't tear a new one on your pocket.“

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

“I found this place off of Google Reviews and wanted a lighter dinner meal. When I arrived the owners, which I believe are a husband and wife duo, both greeted me and told me the menu was on the wall. Given Im still new to eating Mediterranean food I took a moment to look it over. I asked a question and the guy suggested the chicken gyro sandwich. After paying, I watched him prepare the meal and it smelled divine. Honestly the only complaint I have is I should have eaten it there and asked for no tomatoes. That's on me. Im not a local but if I was, I'd be going back to try other dishes and get that chicken gyro. They also have provided some of the best customer service and genuinely seemed happy to see me.

Check these guys out.“

“Excellent food!!! Great service and we observed lots of take-away traffic“

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

“This was my first time at Chicken Maison and it was a great experience the manager Juan was very attentive and the atmosphere was very very good the food was amazing good portions definitely want to go back again the service was impeccable.“

“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!“

“Really surprised how much the prices went up. But I guess that's everywhere. None of us ordered the sandwiches so can't comment. But the plates come with your own bowl of hummus and your own garlic butter which is excellent. The kafka is very savory. And the rice is cooked to perfection. Fluffy, light. I do not recommend ordering the meal for 2 , even though you get 3 different meats. My husband got the kafka and I got the chicken kabob, there are 2 large pieces each so we divided it to have one of each. And we got more food than the other couple who ordered the bar b que for 2 . We were given a plate of 4 baklava rolls also, which was a nice surprise. Or server very attentive , pleasant friendly. It's not a big place, a lot of takeout.“

“Went yesterday with my Daughters and can I say the food was so amazing. It was everything I hoped it to be. We came all the way from L. A and it was worth the drive. We will definitely be back! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“I had chicken and beef showerma plate as well as hummus and salad. Beef shawerma was genius taste of shawerma, chicken was good but need to improve. Location was clean a little bit noisy cooks and chiefs. Food was fresh and enough amount but it could be a little more. Recommend for try.“

“Delicious food and quite healthy too…“

“Hummus is the diggity dong! Ordered the beef kebab plate and everything in the plate was flavorful , beef, veggies and hummus which i preferred over rice. I was skeptical at first because they have Mediterranean and other foods but man this is a Great place! Customer Service was good! Ok enjoy!“

“First time here, the whole experience was good. The place was clean, food came out good, and the atmosphere was nice. Got greeted right away when I walked in. Great hospitality and customer service overall. Definitely coming back. Thank you Hendrix“
