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.“

“Love love love the food , great dinner I fly out here just for this place“

“Food is delicious. Service is probably the last thing you expect at a fast food restaurant. My wife and i went on Saturday 11/22 and got exceptional service from Zack . Friendly and always a checking in to see if we were
Missing anything . One of the reasons why i enjoy dining in at this Luna grill“

“😀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. We also had walnut baclava and it was very good. Not only was the food fantastic but the atmosphere was also great. The owner was very nice and took care of our needs during our visit. Definitely would recommend this place.“

“What a treat to find this place! My husband and I both had the falafel pita pockets... they were large enough that we could have shared! The falafel was cooked to perfection. The potatoes were excellent and the lentil soup was delicious, very flavorful. Our waiter was very attentive and the ambience was delightful... really enjoyed the tastefully vibrant decor. Will return!“

“Alas, a local place with unique charm, expert staff and a creative menu. We will be back often.“

“I’ve been showing up this CAVA since it opened up with my coworkers, and it’s been amazing! The wait times are super short, service is always great (thank you Reyna & Catherine for always going the extra mile & even remembering our orders), and the food is amazing! The only thing I would add is maybe some extra shade for the outdoor seating area and opening up the side door so that we can re-enter. Overall, great place for lunch - thank you again to all the workers that make this place reliable and fun :-)“

“This is a food truck with several tables available if you want to eat there or you can take the food to go. The food is fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful. I LOVE this place.“

“SO good! Highly recommend the ground beef hawawshy & bbq chicken american savory. We devoured ours.“

“I got the strawberry banana shake with plant based protein and a couple add-ons (I forgot what they were) and a side of electrolytes before I went to the gym. Everything was great and I'd go back without question, because it's one of very few health conscious smoothie places on Google maps that tends to my high cholesterol and high blood pressure.“

“Great service food is good“

“Made a last minute decision stop at this tiny place (after an appointment at Kaiser down the street) and was VERY pleasantly surprised! It was DELICIOUS! The air-fried falafel was UNIQUE and perfectly crunchy on the outside! It's a MUST try and I'll definitely be back.“

“Best meditarranean restaurant in downtown Long Beach for sure ,this place is new and already getting popular in the area“

“My wife and I ordered the Mediterranean Bowls. I ordered the chicken schwarma and she ordered the chicken Kabob. Staff was very friendly and even offered us Turkish Tea to taste when we were done with our food. We're not from the area but would definitely eat here again when we're back in the area.“

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

“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.“

“I like the food and the service when I sit in. I have ordered from the app for pick up a few times which is really convenient! However, each time I order a greens and grains bowl, it seems like a much smaller amount of food compared to when I walk in and ask for the same ingredients at the counter. I’m still hungry after eating the pick-up bowl. I’d prefer if they added more greens and grains at the bottom. Thanks!“

“Tried this gem for the first time today! Fall off the bone chicken and salmon Alfredo with fresh vegetables was delicious. The staff was friendly and gracious. Definitely a new favorite!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“food is good but customer service is pretty bad. went here for the first time and did not feel welcomed and worker seemed annoyed i was a little confused on how to order, but i brushed it off. now coming in again hoping for a better experience as i loved my bowl, was met with the same unwelcoming and annoyed vibe. same worker then a literal minute later was laughing in the back with their coworker and slapped one with a glove to then touch the next persons food with that same glove (i saw :/). tbh as im typing this will not be coming back to this location :/

Edit: so I came back(😭) to pickup an online order for my brother and I and I wanted to add something in person, I didn’t feel like chatting in person to make a bowl because of last time, pretty PIT with gorgeous piercings offered a drink + my extra item for free which I thought was super sweet if I changed my review :) felt a lot better coming here after the last interaction lol, thank you again pretty lady for the extras I’m sorry I don’t remember your name to give you credit :(“

“Absolutely fantastic food!“

“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.“

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

“I love the Salmon bowl! I’m attracted to the Kids eat free Mon-Thursday. I like the kids play area. It’s inside or outside. I will be back for many terrific reasons!“

“Great service, fantastic food, friendly atmosphere! Loved everything about the place. Can't wait to come back.“

“Just ate at Habibi Grill in La Mirada. the Chicken Shawerma w/hummus & taboula was Great. Fantastic flavors and garlic sauce. Definitely recommend 👌“

“First time visiting TKS with the family and they did not disappoint. Brian helped us with our order, great service from him and the crew. They have a variety of options for everyone in the crew. Whether you want something light and fresh or a hearty full meal. Fresh made and comfortable environment.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“The BEST pita chips and hummus!“

“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.“

“GUYS, if you haven’t tried it, you are MISSING OUT . Soooooo goood.“

“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⭐️“

“Great food always served fresh. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“Absolutely loved the food at Kababji Grill — the Beef Kafta, Kibbe Nayye, and Beef Shawarma were all bursting with flavor. The service was top-notch, and the atmosphere made the experience even better. Truly one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time!“

“I have been coming to this Zankou Chicken since it has opened here 5 years ago! When come here I always order the Chicken Kabob and the Fattoush Salad! Every time I come here I am usually attended to by Brandon! Brandon has an excellent personality and he also has wonderful service! Brandon has potential and a great future ahead of him! Thank you very much like always Zankou Chicken!!!!!“
