50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Los Alamitos

“We ordered this takeout. I must say, even with a 15 minute drive home, the food was delicious. The food was very, very tasty and cooked to perfection. It was a little pricey but worth it.“

“The best place to try Bosnian food! I can’t pick one favorite, from cevapi to pizza to pita , this food taste like homemade. All employees are nice and friendly, but the owner is an amazing human being, so humble and approachable, honest and relatable, love chatting with him every time we visit Cali, which is usually 2-3 times a year and we make sure we eat lunch and dinner at Sofra Urbana every day. See you soon! Can’t wait for the most delicious Bosnian food on the west side of the United States.“

“Amazing food and customer service!! Everything is always fresh and delicious.“

“I was planning a get together for my son’s 21st birthday and he wanted Mediterranean food. I did some research to try to find the best food that would fit in my budget.
The experience:
Once I called DVine and spoke to Jesus, I knew I had found the right place. I called asking information on their catering options and ended my conversation with a confirmed order for 40 people. Jesus was very kind, patient, and helpful in answering my questions. I ordered beef shawarma, chicken kebabs, hummus, and cucumber yogurt salad. He was kind enough to throw in all the pita bread, sauces, and order of falafel, and grilled veggies on the house. Fast forward to Saturday when I drove to the restaurant to pick up my catering order. I walk in and am greeted by Jesus who already has a few surprises waiting for me. In addition to what we had confirmed over the phone, he also added baklava, fresh cut fruit, and rice pudding to my order. Such a kind gesture. As he’s bringing out the trays with the entrees, he points to the beef shawarma and chicken shawarma. I asked him if he said chicken shawarma to ensure I hadn’t heard incorrectly. He could tell by my expression that something was wrong and asked immediately if he had gotten it wrong. I said I had ordered chicken kebab, not chicken shawarma. He immediately made it right by saying, he’d have the kebabs fired up immediately and personally deliver them. He spoke to the cook and before I left, I could see that the kebabs were already on the grill.
After helping me load my car, he sent me off with the beef and chicken shawarma and assured me that he’d be at my home soon with my kebabs. Within 30 minutes of arriving home, Jesus was at my house with the hot and fresh kebabs.
My guests were so impressed taste didn’t disappoint!
The food:
The beef and chicken shawarma were very flavorful and juicy and the chicken kebab was perfectly cooked, seasoned, and succulent - not dry at all, which could be challenging to pull off with chicken breast. The sauces were a hit, especially the garlic sauce and the hummus was perfectly smooth and creamy. The pita bread was was not too thin and just thick enough to be the perfect vessel for the sauces and hummus.
I highly recommend DVine for both the service and quality of the food. Great find in Long Beach!“

“😀This restaurant is awesome, the food tastes great, the ingredients are made fresh daily from scratch, and the menu is so rich with a lot of varieties you will love, especially the reasonably priced dishes. The service is top notch, and the chef, Mr Cotch is the best. The atmosphere is very pleasant and inviting, it's a great place to have events and parties, dine in, or call and order by phone. I highly recommend it to everyone who enjoys authentic middle eastern cuisine. Cheers.“

“My family went out and had a great experience. I had a chicken shawarma plate and it tasted very good. The portions are a decent size and we have leftovers for tomorrow.

“The best Mediterranean food in the area and it shows. You will not come across this restaurant randomly since it's so out of the way, you have to come look for it, and the fact that there are plenty of people who do speaks to how good it is. The potatoes are good, the gyro is good, all is good and has decent pricing.“

“Food was so good we ate here on our 7 day vacation in California, we drove to San Diego and drove back just to get more. 10/10 will return back when I come California again inshallah. The grill tomato with onion is so good and the meat cooked very good. Great service too, very kind staff.

Only downside is the outdated seats and tables

May Allah bless this business , Ameen ??

Dietary restrictions: Mediterranean Food is best for people with health problems , they serve low sodium food with everything cooked with olive oil instead of vegetable oil, very healthy!“

“My wife and I ordered the Mediterranean Bowls. I ordered the chicken schwarma and she ordered the chicken Kabob.

“Most welcoming people with delicious food. Couldn’t go wrong with anything on the menu. We tired this place to beat the crowds at Disney land and honestly had a much better and wholesome experience at this restaurant than anything we could have gotten at DL. Thanks for the food and experience. Would love to come here more often but unfortunately we are visiting from the east coast. Highly recommend!!!“

“Came here for a quick bite. Ordered two bowls, Daniel was very helpful and offered us his opinion on what was good. Got half and half chicken shawarma and lemon chicken. Both tasty, I got a little of each but it’s unlimited topping. Sauces were good if you like tahini. Signed up for their rewards and already got a free lemonade.“

“generous portions and very patient and kind staff! and the food is great too!“

“Great ambiance and amazing food. I had a lot of food… falafel, spicy hummus, kafta kabob, tzatziki loaded with veggies, cheese balls, and baklava. All so delicious and fresh. I even loved the fresh pita and dipping sauce that was complimentary. From the manager and many servers, everyone was pleasant and friendly throughout my time there. I went during happy hour so the specials were great during that time. I’m definitely returning to this Mediterranean restaurant for sure. I loved it.“

“I ordered the cinnamon oat latte, and I'm usually not a fan of oatmilk but it was balanced so well against the espresso and the cinnamon that it didn't dominate the flavor. It was a very smooth drink, not too sweet, not too bitter, and not too strong.

My wife got the strawberry matcha latte, and while the matcha was of a decent grade and quality, the strawberry isn't a puree, nor is it like a strawberry creme or milk added in, it's an additive in powder form and she doesn't tend to like that.

Their chocolate croissant, which we shared, was heated up as requested, it came with a line of melted chocolate drizzle on top, which I think was similar to Nutella but less thick in terms of consistency. It was also topped with powder sugar, and it had an inserted line of darker chocolate, maybe 65%, so pretty balanced against the sweetness of everything else involved.

The area the cafe is located in is nice, it's a large promenade with several nicer restaurants (it's also sort of attached to it's restaurant counterpart) and there's plenty to walk around and get some shopping done or walk off the drinks and baked sweets. Plenty of parking as well, and the mall itself is only a block or two north from the cafe.“

“I’m updating my review due to the soda machine having mold on the soda spouts and black mold in the ice machine dispenser.
I’m editing because I looking on company site to get into contact. And there was no contact button. So here it is. Won’t be eating there until someone reaches out or it’s cleaned. But most likely won’t go back.“

“Alan/Yalla Truck provided the attendees at our event with the most delicious meals!
He has a fantastic menu to choose from and gave us the highest quality food and the quantity was most satisfying. His crew was efficient and professional and all through our emails and phone calls, Alan was professional and helpful.

Couldn’t ask for a better experience!
Thank you Alan! Your Yalla Truck should be in high demand.“

“My first time here and I was not disappointed. From the service to the food ❤️❤️❤️. My food to start with was so fresh and so well seasoned. The steak perfectly cooked, the fries were the right about of crisp and soft in the middle, and the veggies amazing! All the sauces very delightful. The person who helped us talked with pride once I complimented the food and very well mannered and charismatic. I can't wait to come again.“

“Yala Kabab Restaurant is a standout gem for lovers of Levantine cuisine—especially for those seeking authentic Mandi, Mansaf, kebabs, and mezze served with warmth and tradition. The portions are hearty, flavor consistent, and prices family-friendly. While service flow and space may feel informal at times, the overall experience remains elevated by quality food and genuine hospitality.“

“Great food always served fresh. Highly recommended!“

“Awesome food and great service. Atmosphere is what one would expect a strip mall food joint to be. Garlic paste seemed to be house made but the harissa seemed to be sambal oulek (an Asian chili sauce) everything else is really really good, especially the rice.“

“The BEST pita chips and hummus!“

“Best ever kabob&desserts. Quality Service Ambient Best flavor food!!! Try once & never stop😋“

“Nice place, arabic environment, hookahs, mix grill, arabic tea and coffee, Barbican and some old Egyptian sodas. Capacious place with out door, in-tent, and indoor places. Staying as late as 2am!! People are friendly, good new administration.“

“Tried out your Cerritos location, I lived in LA almost 3years and food especially the kebab wrap was the best by far and I have tried different kebab place’s before in LA. One of the best Kebab place in America, the lamb was moist and very tasty with great flavors, the combination of the hummus, salad, fries combined with the lamb was delicious, the fresh flat bread was soft and crispy on the outside. Add the garlic yogurt sauce wow your tastebuds explodes in your mouth, the food was very lite and not heavy like most kebab place so they got the right balance by using the flat bread and not pita bread that most place use on the wrap Well done this place remind me of a place back home in New Zealand. I give The Kebab shop in Cerritos 10/10 Highly Recommend this place to my friends and family and different locations in America. Will go again and try something different on the menu.“

“They have very friendly staff and the food is fantastic.“

“This was a very satisfactory experience. Plates are 20$ give or take 5 depending on what you want in your order. I ate using the garlic butter spread with hummus on my bread with veggies and chicken/beef. Each bite was incredible and beef was soo tender. Excellent food, weird atmosphere. Staff was nice.“

“My tummy is so full and happy. The staff was so very friendly (cashier). Definitely coming back!“

“Amazing food, nice friendly atmosphere!“

“Very pleasant experience here! From the friendly accommodating staff, to the very delicious well prepared fish, it was a treat!! Best fish I’ve ever had! I look forward to coming back! 5⭐️“

“We love love your restaurant!! You have the best grilled chicken ever!! We dine here about twice a month. We love Paris she is a fantastic server. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience every time. ❤️“

“Golden Olive in Huntington Beach is a hidden gem—authentic, family-run, and absolutely worth it. We had the grilled Singari sea bass, sea bream, fried calamari, and shrimp—everything was fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. Portions were big and satisfying, and the owner and his wife were incredibly welcoming and genuinely kind. You can feel the love in both the food and the atmosphere. If you're craving real Mediterranean seafood, this is the spot.“
