50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Los Angeles

“Delicious! Really interesting and tasty food.“

“I reached out to Le Great Outdoors to help me celebrate a birthday with a group of 20 people. The team was super helpful in getting everything set up and was able to set up a secluded area for my group to eat, mingle and hang out. Everyone was super impressed with the ambiance and food. Great venue for a larger event - highly recommend!“

“The little plates are yummy. I love the pita bread that came with the hummus (Salatim plate). The other plates were good also. I loved the bread pudding (I think it's better than the best cake). What I like the most about Bacari, besides the beautiful ambiance, is the friendliest staff.“

“The creamy pasta is my favorite.“

“The chicken is cooked perfect just enough flavor!! The sauces are the perfect way to kick it up. Salad dressing is insane so satisfying. All of the sides are delicious. Don’t forget to order Schmaltzy potato’s the best way to eat potato’s“

“From the initial greeting, to the lovely outside seating, to the great service staff, to really great flavors, it was a terrific meal. Our whole group concurred, “let’s come back here.”“

“Great vegan food and friendly owners. Please visit . You will love the food..“

“whipped feta app was incredible, it's been almost a week and I'm still thinking about how good it was! the drinks were all memorable as well. was super busy when we went but worth the wait. can't wait to go back for dinner!“

“Our first time and we will definitely go back!!“

“I have been to The Little Door many times over the years and have always had a wonderful time enjoying their great food. In recent years, however, the food has just gotten better and better over this and my last few visits. Some of the most delicious octopus I've ever had, and my steak was delicious and cleverly prepared. The food is creative and so flavorful. Can't beat the ambiance, either. Our server was delightful and friendly. I definitely recommend The Little Door for multiple visits.“

“the most beautiful venue in , la Music Is on point food is soo delicious Stuff is soo friendly And Professional Highly recommended“

“We absolutely love the food, and bring friends and family here often for lunch. Usually get the fried chicken plate. Always consistently delicious. Parking in front is always limited but we park in the neighborhood behind and walk quite far. You order at the window and usually service is decent and quick. However, the last time we had lunch, we were treated very rudely by one of the staff members for asking for a to-go box. Lately the tables have been filled and there’s been a small wait for them. We usually have to clean up after people that leave all their dishes and trash on the tables so fyi - there is a bin in the middle of patio area for you to put your dishes and a trash can for waste, along with a self service water dispenser. Highly recommend Dune for flavorful, fresh, healthy, and huge portions.“

“My wife and I dined here for the first time tonight and this is now our new favorite restaurant in LA. We ordered so many different things and every single thing was absolutely delicious. The whole staff is so nice and attentive to everything. And our waitress, Mariam, was the absolute best ever. We can’t wait to go back. I highly recommend Sunnin to everyone.“

“Excellent shawarma, falafel & everything that goes with it. Fluffy pita bread was nice as well.“

“Cevapi is almost like eating it in Sarajevo a few years ago.“

“What’s not to like!? Owner Arman and bar manager Jay are masters of their craft. Amazing and welcoming service with an amazing modern layout. Beautiful bar with a view to the city if you choose. Amazing apps and mains, priced in my opinion low that are of high quality and delicious. I’ve been in the service industry for over a decade, but still in the field of customer service, I’d work here. So happy I’m a hop skip away, they allow my service dog and make me feel welcome. If you’re looking for a place to unwind, take a break from the hustle and bustle and not break your wallet….this is the place! Thank me later.“

“Very professional and friendly! Our waiter, Matt, was the best!!“

“delicious food in a beautiful setting.“

“Had a perfect solo lunch at Levant. The spinach and mushroom flatbread was amazing. I’m GF due to an autoimmune disorder. I’m in town for a long weekend. LA provides lots of GF options, but all my research said to try out Levant. I’m so happy I did! I’ll be back!“

“The food was spectacular Everything made fresh and the prices are very reasonable I highly recommend“

“So far, my experience working with Mr. Ralph Carico has been incredible. He is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of trading and well-connected. I feel very fortunate to have been referred to him. I highly recommend contacting him for your stock trading needs. He is the best trader. Ralph Carico is the real deal!“

“Great food, friendly service“

“Very impressed with Javan! Service was so helpful and friendly, especially our server Victor. The food was outstanding and so fresh. The combination of flavors in the Alex salad was absolutely outstanding. Our vegetarian Koobideh was delicious. The hummus and babaganoush were perfect. Thank you - we will be back!“

“Great Lebanese taco joint. Vegetarian options. Generous portions. Very satisfying.“

“Been twice now and the place keeps impressing. Called in the AM to make a reservation for Sunday evening. Got seated at a ambiance-y table outside on the patio with dim lighting. Highly recommend the lavraki -- whole sea bass. It's A+. Before I ordered it I wondered whether the bones would be annoying but I'm glad I went for it because they slide right off :) Service was kind and attentive, which helped as we were in a rush to get to the airport afterwards.“

“good food and great people“

“Excellent choices. Just had meze and small plates - the crispy mushrooms were unbelievable - were enough for us. ❤️“

“Came from Cleveland oh wonderful food and atmosphere authentic Persian food“

“The bowls were good. Vegetarian and vegan are possible. Thanks!
A little tip: Instead of small plastic containers, use small mini bowls for the sauces. It was great that the sauces were served separately - so you could dose them yourself. You were good.

Vegetarian options: Also possible as vegan or flood-free.“

“Aside from the tables being very close together, the ambience, food and service were all top notch. Our waiter, Jason, made great recommendations and checked back at appropriate intervals, making it a great overall experience. Our only mistake was not coming with friends so we could try more of the menu. We'll be back. And we'll definitely get the snapper schnitzel again!“

“The man behind the counter who I believe was the owner was so friendly and knowledgeable. We asked him for a recommendation on some plates to share and he answered instantly. The food was delicious and he was very attentive. Will definitely be coming here again.“

“Excellent food and service to match. Kebab, falafel, and grilled branzino were real standouts on par or better than anything in Los Angeles. Will be back for sure, especially considering the very reasonable price point. Fantastic restaurant all around“

“I'm at a loss for words, but I'll try my best. Food? Amazing! Perfect amount of seasoning and the portions are huge! And this is coming from a big dude. For the appetizers, my favorites were the Kashk E'bademjan (Eggplant Delight), Potato Salad, and the Hummus! They have more selections, but this is what I was able to try. I hear all are great! For the Entrees, ALL OF THEIR KABOBS ARE FIRE (MMM MMMM YUMMY). I had a sample of most them and in the islands, we would say "broke da mouf kine", which translates to, the food is *beep beep* GOOD! If you've never had Persian Food, or you love it, this is the restaurant for you! Drinks? I love Korean Soju and Cass beer, so yeah, +10 points from me. They do carry various Wines and Beers though...and of course your choice of Soda Pop. Atmosphere? It' gives you a Kewl Kids Vibe; a classy place where you can be yourself with family and friends and just enjoy each others company. You have your choice of Indoor and Outdoor dinning which is amazing. There's also a private room upstairs that can hold 20 people for a meal and karaoke (there is a fee to reserve, but very much worth it). Staff? We were greeted at the door as if we were coming home. Pasha and his staff go above and beyond to make sure all your needs are met. Their suggestions on meal and drink pairings are spot on. I can't thank Pasha and the crew for making our group outing a success. Overall? I'll be going back and I hope that you add this restaurant to your list of 'go to' places to dine at. You will not be disappointed, I promise you. (Unless your attitude stinks or you're not willing to try new food ‍) Pasha again, thank you so much for the hospitality. I already told Fatemeh that I'll be coming back again. سپاسگزارم“

“This is probably the best Syrian/ Middle eastern fare I’ve had in the US, and some of the juiciest most flavorful meat and chicken I’ve had. Don’t pass up the opportunity to visit if you’re in the area and want a quick, delicious meal.“

“This is the best Mediterranean/Lebanese food in LA. I have not tried a better falafel anywhere in the world yet... Definitely 10 stars!!“

“An absolutely delightful addition to our neighborhood. This is the best priced restaurant in the area - and the food is excellent for the price point. Absolutely order the Branzino - it's flown in fresh from Turkey and prepared it as if they were on the waterfront in Istanbul. The roasted vegetables rock, salads are excellent, and they have the best baklava in Los Angeles(and yes, I've tried many). Lovely people, great place to grab a very good dinner in a nice atmosphere at a very good price.“

“Clean, fresh and flavorful food - Cornish hen kabob plate and tabouli salad- was quite a nice surprise and delightful experience nestled in the heart of the Garment district.“

“If you're looking for a great place to grab a bite, I highly recommend trying the restaurant I visited yesterday. The food was absolutely delicious, and you could tell it was prepared with fresh ingredients. What's more, the service was top-notch, and the location was clean and inviting. I can't wait to go back!“

“Love the food. It is the best Mediterranean lunch I’ve had since I was in Israel.“

“great food. hands down awesome“

“The food here is delicious, anytime I'm craving kabob I stopped by. A service is always very nice too. The folks are super cool. Manny was awesome and made sure to answer any questions. I had. Even gave me some water while I was waiting“

“We made a reservation for my husband’s birthday and took a big chance, we had never been here before but I’m so happy we chose it. The food was amazing, the service was incredible, the atmosphere was fantastic, really sweet owners. Can’t recommend it enough ??“

“My Favorite L.A. restaurant by all means. I need to feel the love one puts into their food. And this is the place I feel it the most. Delish, home-style, served with a smile in a kind, friendly way. The one place that I walk into and feels like home. Thank you for you guys“

“York Kabob deserves high praise for their exceptional customer service. Despite the initial oversight of forgetting to include the stew in my order, they promptly rectified the situation by delivering two kinds of stew to my doorstep at no extra charge. Their attentiveness and willingness to make things right left a lasting positive impression. The food itself is delicious, with fresh ingredients and perfectly marinated kabobs cooked to order. York Kabob's commitment to customer satisfaction is truly commendable, making them a standout restaurant in this area

Vegetarian options: Ghormeh Sabzi“

“I have never in my LIFE had a shawarma more delicious than the one I had here last night! The shop was closed for the night, but upon seeing my hungry, whiny condition, the waitress opened her kitchen up to me and fed me the JUICIEST, FRESHEST Chicken Shawarma I have EEEVEEEERRRR had! It didn’t even need no extra dip because she made it so well! I wish I’d asked her her name I love you so much! Thank you for making my last night in the US SOO beautiful “

“The chicken is so good and juicy. Its fresh and full of flavor.“

“Delicious food, friendly service, and decor and music that create a Mediterranean mood. Near multiple museums and hotels (across the Kimpton). Drone shot of shareable breakfast attached. Will return when next in the city. PS thank you for collecting funds for earthquake relief.“

“Superb Taste and well served. A must go place.“

“Tote (Abdul Malik) hooked is up with the restroom during a toilet emergency. Kind man.

However, on our way to the restroom, another person, the bartender stopped us. We had to buy a drink to get restroom access.

When did we as a society stopped being kind and compassionate? Be like Abdul Malik, not the nameless male bartender.“
