Good and healthy food at a good price, my family enjoyed the kabobs, shawarma, and baba ganoush. Definitely recommend, except for the drinks, we're boycotting Pepsi/Cola so we had to buy them elsewhere. Otherwise, great spot.
My peers have mentioned to me how I'm a tough reviewer and how it takes *a lot* for me to give 5 stars. This is an easy 5 stars from me, and if that's not saying something, I don't know what will. D'Vine Mediterranean Experience is located at North Los Altos Shopping Center on the northeast corner of Bellflower and Stearns. It's easy to miss because you can't see it from the main parking lot in front of Target, Big Lots, and Trader Joe's. If you see Five Below, it's in that building, but on the opposite side. You should be able to see it if you're traveling horizontally on Stearns, but if you're traveling vertically on Bellflower, you'd only be able to see it driving northbound. Thanks to a Fivestars offer. I was able to try D'Vine at a discount, and what an effective way to get me through that front door! It wasn't too busy inside, but Jonathan takes his time to service each and every customer whether they are a regular or a first-timer like yours truly. I prefaced this review by mentioning how tough of a reviewer I have been lately, especially with this brutal stretch where it felt like things kept falling apart at inopportune times. After my experience here, I felt like this brutal stretch may have stopped, if only for a brief moment, but it was so nice to finally catch my breath for once. There are three TV monitors above the front counter showing the menu. It sounds like a lot, but only one of those TVs was for entrees. The others were for starters, salads, soups, kids meals, desserts, and pita pockets. There's also a menu on the counter if you don't want to look up. For entrees, you have the option of mixing any two proteins. The TV didn't specify any restrictions, but I think one of the menus on the counter did. If there really are stipulations to this option, that should be spelled out on the TV menu too, even in fine print, so as to not be misleading. Since I've been trying to avoid red meat, and I wasn't in the mood for chicken, it was a really easy choice for me: Salmon! I knew the entrees would come with rice and pita bread, but I overlooked the right side specifying that entrees come with two sides! I had no clue about several of them, but Jonathan was happy enough to describe them for me. I'm convinced he knows the menu inside and out because when I was struggling to say mutabal after just the first syllable, he knew what I meant and immediately answered. I went with mutabal and the turshi, the last of which is like a mini platter of vegetables you don't normally see at other restaurants. Jonathan mentioned that it takes about 20 minutes to cook the salmon and wanted to make sure I was okay with the long wait. Of course, and I totally appreciate him letting me know so that I'm not anxiously waiting inside twiddling my thumbs for an eternity. And speaking of inside, I absolutely adored the interior! Plenty of greenery on the walls, and there's even a flower backdrop with a neon sign that would be perfect for the gram. It was a little over 20 minutes before Jonathan let me know my order was ready. He offered a set of utensils as well, which even though they weren't packed in plastic, was still a nice gesture! And the food was divine! Or should I say, D'Vine! The salmon I got was a really generous sized filet that even if I had paid full price, I still think it'd be worth it! The rice was infused with flavor as well that no sauce was needed even though they also gave me a white tangy yogurt sauce on the side, a serendipitous surprise! I used the sauce as well as the mutabal on the salmon and the pita bread, which was cut open in the middle so that I could have made a pita pocket if I'd like. It would have been hard to with my meal, so I simply used it with the last remaining sauces. Jonathan was outstandingly superb that I can't tell if he's the store manager or not. If he's not, he was trained really well and could very well be the store manager in the near future! D

D' Vine is back. After coming back from the pandemic and reopening its doors I noticed the quality of food went down compared to its location in Anaheim. After a few months, this place has turned it around with authentic food that is freshly made and stays true to the flavor and ambiance of its other locations. If you haven't been here in a few months, give this place a secon

I ordered the chicken schwarma plate on Friday and enjoyed it so much I ordered it again on Saturday! There was enough food for my daughter and I to both have plenty. The garlic sauce was yum! I will definitely be trying other dishes here

Consistent good food, plain cooked and great sides. Not the best Mediterranean but very good quality, well prepared and worth your dollar. Better than most. Worth a try.

Great food for a yummy price. Service was on point plus outdoor seating. So I like the vibe and the portions were great!
Divine is located in a busy plaza which may be hard to find parking at times. They had some outdoor seating in the front as well as a good amount of seating indoors. The inside is very clean and has trendy neon lights with the Resturant name with bushy backdrops surrounding the interior walls. The food was prepared relatively quick probably within 5 minutes. I got the chicken shawarma with spicy hummus and labne. Each entree is served with a side of hot pita bread. I didn't really care for the spicy oil that they put on top of the hummus but the hummus its self was good. This is the first time I tried labne so I can't be a fair critic on it but it just tasted like cream cheese. I also tried some of their falafel and it was hot and crispy, a good option if vegetarian. This place is more expensive than other Mediterranean spots for the portions they give you.

Had the opportunity to try this place last weekend. Was so impressed. The interior of the restaurant is cool/good vibes. The real score is the food which I'm still thinking about - hence this review. A++
