50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Marina Del Rey

“Amazing breakfast and pastries right on the water in Marina Del Rey! Fabulous service too! Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely delicious food and a wonderful atmosphere overlooking Marina del Rey area and I recommend their edamame hummus. It is over the top. The kebabs are amazing. Everything is good homemade and delicious.“

“I wish there were more seating, but this place was truly delicious. So many things on the menu that I would’ve loved to try. The beef & lamb was AMAZING and the hummus was very good. I wish they’d used traditional feta for the Greek salad but other than that, no notes.“

“Delicious, Persian food. Generous portions, great service and atmosphere.“

“After a long walk in the morning, I saw this store from afar and came to try it. It was very good!! I ordered Chicken Souvlaki with fries and a drink, and I really enjoyed it, it wasn't too much or too little food. I also reccommend the Orange Cardamom drink!“

“The best place for an incredible night out in LA!

As soon as we parked the smell of the outdoor grill hit us. We knew we were in for something special.

We were sat immediately with a reservation, and had the best service. Mike was our waiter and was everything you want in a server and more. He was present but not overly so, he knew his wines well, and was clearly very passionate about the food. He’s service absolutely made our night!

The food was the only thing that overshadowed Mike’s excellence, every bite was divine.

We shared the hummus toast, zucchini, Japanese, sweet potato, Shishito peppers. And for mains enjoyed a chicken skewer, lamb chops, and ribeye.

The lamb was seasoned and cooked perfectly, being my best bite of the night, but the chicken skewer won the hearts of the larger group.

We finished off with their chocolate cake which was perfectly gooey in the center.

There is so much more I would come back for. The atmosphere was just spectacular! Beautiful outdoor seating area, suitable for larger groups or small tables. Good music and great vibes.

All in all I’m just upset that I didn’t come try this place sooner. Definitely going to be a staple of mine moving forward.

If you go ask for Mike (Big Chicago Bears fan). You’re in the best hands with him!“

“Getting there to be from best restaurant in LA. Tell Aviv cousin. Best vibe you have seen in LA.“

“Everything about this place is excellent. The food is flavorful and clearly made with care, the service is kind and attentive, and the atmosphere is both elegant and inviting. A wonderful dining experience every time!“

“Love this place. Always great music with a warm and welcoming atmosphere!“

“I had this placed saved on Instagram and decided to give it a try. It did not disappoint! We got the chicken kebab plate with extra pita bread. It was so delicious 😋 EVERY bite produced a happy dance. Customer service was great. The girl at the counter was very patient with us. There’s outside seating where we chose to sit and free parking on the side streets. I would’ve given them five stars but the fries were lukewarm. They were seasoned and crispy but warm. I will definitely be back and I can’t wait to eat my leftovers tomorrow.“

“Loved this place. I went there with my friend and had incredible experience. Food was so good, we loved porkbelly skewer. My friend ordered french toast, it was awesome. Other brunch menus were nice too, cinammon roll focaccia was sooooo good-a little too sweet but it's good to have once in a while! Restaurant itself was so cute and clean, loved the vibe. The hostess lady was so nice and welcoming. We will def come back here ❣️“

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

“This restaurant has excellent choice of delicious Lebanese food, beverages and desserts. Every thing is authentically signed (961) 🇱🇧🇱🇧“

“Great foods and good portions too. 2nd time there and still delicious. 👍🥰“

“We tried the falafel, pita, and hummus and it was amazing! It is one of the best hummus I’ve had- the texture was so smooth and delicious. They are serving out of the Colony food kitchen on Lincoln Blvd in Venice, and we just happened to walk by. Highly recommend!“

“We randomly ended up to this restaurant: small, but pleasant, the type of place where you can talk with your friends. Party of three, we had the fish carpaccio, the octopus, and the burger (gourmet burger!). Everything was prepared to perfection. They will definitely see us again.“

“How can I say this...I love Hummus House and have for years! The food is delicious and has never disappointed. I go every chance I go to Hawthorne.“

“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“

“This Cava is my go-to! The food is always amazing and consistent, but the service is what really stands out. We were greeted warmly and served quickly by Nicole and Millie today. They were so friendly and made the whole experience seamless. Highly recommend this location!“

“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!“

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

“From the moment my brother and I walked in, the atmosphere felt like family — welcoming, relaxed, and genuinely warm. The food completely exceeded expectations, especially the Persian-style pizza, which absolutely blew me away with its unique flavors and perfect balance. The baklava was rich, fresh, and unforgettable, easily some of the best I’ve had. And the hookah flavors? Truly extraordinary — smooth, flavorful, and expertly prepared. This place isn’t just a restaurant, it’s an experience. I’ll definitely be coming back and bringing friends with me. Thank you Sina, Amir and Majid!“

“Simply delicious food. Look forward to visiting again soon! Baklava - to die for!!!“

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

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

“This is a very popular place as it gets crowded even before normal dinner time. The semi-indoor/outdoor seating area is clean and relaxing.“

“Great place for delicious breakfast, after a good brisk morning walk.
I had a fresh omelet, with mushrooms, onions and cheese. I added fresh toasted slices of sourdough bread and a cup of Americano coffee (stronger than regular coffee). Not a long wait, comfortable seating, attentive server, made it a complete pleasant meal.“

“Great place to eat. I come here like three times a week. Cesar the manager is a great guy always helps me whatever. I need great customer service very hard-working very busy very professional. Great tasting food thank you I will continue to do business here as a happy customer!“

“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“

“great food. hands down awesome“

“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. !!!!!!“

“Great customer service, the music on point loved the hole 80’s theme. Manager was beyond professional very knowledgeable with salad and chicken flavors I love the Maison special salad so much I bought 3 of them. Keep up the good work guys definitely better management now.“

“well fortunately. the soup is probably the best I've tried in a very long time. the garlic bread its delicious. you should stop by and consider the place. good background music and sports on TV. it doesn't tear a new one on your pocket.“

“I love Cravings’ food and the fact that it has so many options to pick from. Their menu has a great variety, it’s quite impressive. Shane and his wife are very friendly and provide a great service. I have ordered meals from daily lunch to catering food for the office and the food is always delicious. I highly recommend this place. Prices are accessible too.“

Food has a homemade delicious taste, I can’t get enough of the gyro I find myself craving it even if I went yesterday! Highly recommend price level great value.“

“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“

“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!“

“The service was VERY friendly. My server, and several others, greeted me with genuine smiles. Started with Warak Enab Dolma/Sarma (stuffed grape leaves), which were excellent. They are the non-vinegar type which I much prefer, firm with plenty of rich olive oil. Then the Sea Bass entrée. Two full filets traditionally seasoned, a large salad, and potatoes. The tomatoes are perfect! Beautiful tea service. Very quaint atmosphere, friendly staff with genuine smiles, everything well presented. Will definitely be back. FYI: Ample free parking on the roof, enter on Western Ave (Petco).“

“We enjoyed the food but as most of the fried items are cooked in the same oil, if you have an allergy issue, my wife could not eat many of the cooked items. It’s not cheap. Three people about $200 which includes gratuity. For those with no allergies, we enjoyed the food.“

“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!“

“Consistently good food and friendly service. My husband and I have never been disappointed with anything we've had from their menu! Super delicious!!!“

“delicious food in a beautiful setting.“

“The Rotisserie chicken was amazing!! I give it a 10! The spicy coleslaw was really good as well! Glad we decided to order for dinner. Yum! 🙂“

“Absolutely fantastic food! Not a fan of Key Lime pie but something told me to get it and I'm glad I did. Amazing and light without being overpowering or too sweet! We need a place like this in Boston (hint hint-expansion!). I'm here in LA for a month and I'll definitely be back!“
