50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Manhattan Beach

“I visited The Hummus Factory in Manhattan Beach yesterday, craving some Lebanese food, and wow, I was blown away! The hummus is top-notch—easily one of the best I’ve ever had. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate, and the chicken was so juicy and flavorful. I also tried the gyro, and everything was just amazing. The pita was warm and soft, the salad fresh and crisp, and the lamb was perfectly marinated—it literally melted in my mouth.

My wife went for the Greek salad, and she couldn’t stop talking about how refreshing and light it was. If you're in the area and in the mood for some delicious Mediterranean food, this spot is a must-visit! I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Manhattan Beach.“

“I like the food Jamil n actman is the best“

“One of the best meals I’ve had in LA. The food was exceptional and had so many amazing flavors. I went here on a date and the atmosphere was perfect. It is all outside but the heaters kept it toasty and it’s very picturesque. Our favorite things we got were the yams, and there was a delicious mussels special that was SO good. Extra bonus because they have a parking lot. Will definitely be coming back many times!“

“One of my favorite restaurants ever. The meat was seasoned so expertly and was so tender. Mussel toast was INCREDIBLE. Their sourdough was out of this world. Staff was knowledgeable and guided us in trying many interesting wines. This place was amazing!“

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

“Elijah and the crew at Luna Grill are wonderful and nice! The food was delicious 😋 I’m definitely coming again! Thank you😊“

“This sharwama restaurant is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Middle Eastern flavors. The shawarma is perfectly seasoned and juicy, wrapped in fresh bread with crisp veggies and a tangy sauce. The falafel is also fantastic—crispy outside, tender inside, and packed with flavor. Portions are generous, and the hummus is smooth and balanced. With a cozy atmosphere and friendly staff, and also offers a delightful experience at a great value. Highly recommend!“

“I really love this place. It feels like you’re walking into a special place somewhere in Europe. And it’s tucked away enough to not be super touristy and crowded. The staff always greets us with a smile, and the vibe is just perfection. The indoor area has such a cool atmosphere, and the outdoor tables are on the water. You can NOT go wrong here.“

“I recently purchased food from here while attending a conference in the city of Los angeles. It was truly fall off the bone deliciously seasoned chicken. The chicken was tender and juicy. It was a little difficult to separate out some of the smaller Bones from the half chicken but I got through it and enjoyed that I could rend the flesh with my hands because I did not have a knife and fork (I do not mind this it made me feel cool to eat it manually). The bread was spectacular and was baked to a degree of fluffiness that I have not experienced in another bread. I got it with hummus and pickled turnips which were pretty delectable, very toothesome and vibrantly colored. The sauces I chose were the tahini and the red sauce which were both nice accents on the food. I also got a delicious mint lemonade which was the perfect amount of sweet and tart with a nice cool mint flavor.

It is so difficult nowadays to find truly authentic Middle Eastern food, oftentimes it is just a poor imitation co-opted and misappropriated by people from northern Europe who think they have a claim to the land. That's why I am so glad you have gotten food from Jerusalem Chicken where I could tell it was cooked by people truly native to the land.“

“Delicious food and friendly workers“

“Friendly, accommodating staff and great, healthy food 😊“

“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!“

“The decor made you think you were on vacation. The food took your tastebuds to a whole other level of flavor! This place went above all my expectations. Everyone should try to visit @PalomaVenice“

“I love the Lemon 🍋 Herb Chicken. It is the best. The chicken is so moist and juicy. I love dipping the chicken in the juice, getting all the flavor. I get it with a bake potato 🥔 with butter 🧈 and sour cream and mixed vegetables. My daughter loves it, too.“

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

“We recently hosted a full buyout event at Mon Ami in Santa Monica, and once again, it was an absolute dream come true! This is our second year in a row working with them, and I can't say enough good things about the entire experience.

A special shoutout to Courtney, the event manager extraordinaire, who made every step seamless from start to finish. Her attention to detail, creativity, and ability to anticipate our needs were truly unmatched. Whether it was coordinating the perfect layout, curating a delicious menu, or ensuring our guests felt pampered and welcomed, she nailed it all. It’s rare to find someone as dedicated and easy to work with as Courtney – she’s a huge reason we returned to Mon Ami again this year!

The venue itself is elegant, with a warm ambiance that perfectly complements the beauty of Santa Monica. Our guests raved about the food, which was as impeccable in taste as it was in presentation. The staff was attentive and professional, making sure everything ran smoothly throughout the event.

If you’re looking for a place to host your next event, Mon Ami should be at the top of your list. And if you’re lucky enough to work with Courtney, you’ll be in the best hands possible. We can’t wait to plan with her again next year!

Thank you, Mon Ami and Courtney, for making this event truly unforgettable!“

“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. !!!!!!“

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

“Let's start off with breakfast can easily get $40 to $50 a person. But, this is not your everyday diner. I was very pleased with the taste, presentation, and atmosphere. I felt like the service was a little slow for high-end place, but it may have been a one-time thing. When I go here again? Yes.“

“Everything was good and the food was prepared quickly!“

“Amazing gem I found here in Culver City, I was looking for Mediterranean food and happened to stumble upon this place. The owners are so welcoming and the atmosphere feels very much like a home. I will definitely come back for more, highly recommend the lamb shawarma plate! Thank you!“

“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.“

“Everything was delicious ! I can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend to get their Chicken Shawerma Entree but honestly anything you pick will be pleasing to your palate 🤤🤤“

“Very good food healthy for diabete people“

“The taste was excellent, and they gave big portions for the price. We got hibachi off the lunch menu and ended up with leftovers.They also threw in some free egg rolls, which were also really good. It seems like they mix all their own sauces, too.The only problem was a language barrier with the cashier, so they must not be used to taking orders verbally. Oh, and the salad is literally just roughly chopped iceberg lettuce with dressing on the side.There is no space to sit down and eat, so this place is take-out only basically.“

“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!“

“If you are looking for the best Mediterranean food in South Bay, you must come here. I’ve tried everything on the menu and it is all delicious.

“QUITE LITERALLY one of the best hidden gems in LA. The chicken skewers are jumbo and the sides are FIRE. The mac and cheese is just as good as the best I've ever had. The brussel sprouts are solid.One of the BEST values out there. And hidden in a super market. Whoda thunk?

Vegetarian options: Brussel sprouts. Vegetable medley.“

“Very generous portions, absolutely delicious food. I got the lemon chicken, which was perfectly juicy and tender. The sauce was fresh, rich, creamy, and flavorful while not being overwhelming. The hummus was fresh made and mouthwatering as well.

Would highly recommend, they put a lot of heart into every single plate.“

“Absolutely the best food and great service. The baklava is probably the best I’ve tasted in a while. We’ll certainly be back again!“
