Middle Eastern Restaurants near Monrovia, CA

“Great place, delicious food 😋. Worth the drive 👍“

“My family and I frequent a lot of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern restaurants, whether it's a sit down restaurant or takeout--and Sahara might just be the best we've ever had!

We heard good things about Sahara and decided to check it out yesterday; and it exceeded expectations.

I had the beef kebab plate, while my mom and brother had the chicken kebab plate. We loved how they had complimentary snacks (olives, cheese, and cucumber) and also that the plate came with either soup or salad. The meat dishes were so flavorful and honestly the best we've had at any restaurant. They gave a lot of meat too; 8 pieces for each dish. The baba ghanoush was also great.

Last but not least, Mary, our server, was extremely pleasant and attentive. We can't wait to go back!“

“We hadn't heard about the golden Skwer before we were looking for a banquet hall for my mom 60th birthday. Reached out and promptly received a call from Carla she was great with giving all the information of everything that is included with booking with them, right off the bat I loved speaking with her she was super friendly even with just speaking over the phone and very nice and friendly when we met to confirm details. everyone in her staff was very friendly. Banquet hall is beautiful in itself, food was amazing we had so many people compliment on how good the food is(mind we we hadn't tried till day of event) we booked because of Carla

We strongly recommend the golden Skewer, couldn't be more happy with the venue and service and FOOD.“

“Found Monta Factory last year. My waistline has suffered ever since. Sarkis just jams out perfection in a dumpling. The dough is crispy the filling is flavorful and the tomato and yogurt are both delicious. The Su Boreg is crispy and flakey and tasty as well.
If you go here, just go ahead and get the large. I got a small once and regretted it. They serve Salmon Sandwiches, but whenever I stop by, I can't force myself not to get the dumplings. They have a vegetarian option too.
Sarkis the owner is very nice and welcoming and knowledgeable about the food. I am not Armenian, but I am definitely a convert to Armenian Dumplings bc of this place!! Treat yourself.
This is a no frills spot that focuses on doing 2 or 3 things perfectly. They have a few little tables outside if you can't wait to get home!
You can also buy frozen and reheat at home.“

“Never had batter beef Showerma in usa thumbs up for ABU KABAB I highly recommend it you must try“

“1. The food was very good. The rice was done perfectly
2. Need to resurface and polish all table. The finishing material on the wood has desolved and it is sticky and anoying
3. Please toast the pita bread.
4. Upon the arrival of the customers, please by default present water. You also need to do a better job filtering the water. It taste like tap water which garbage.
5. The servers were good but need to pay attention to other customers. It seems like the are all single task type of people. They need retraining.“

“My family was traveling from Arizona to California and had the incredibly good fortune of finding Damasquino Mediterranean Restaurant. My son's a vegetarian and I'm essentially carnivore. We both were over the moon happy with the meals prepared by the owner. I am not kidding when I say don't walk to this restaurant - RUN. The food is out of this world. It's not a fancy sit down, but it's a comfy homey feeling with chairs and tables outside. The food is authentic in every way. The owner is one of the most kind, gracious hosts you will find. His one concern, and his staff all have the same attitude, is your happiness and satisfaction. Well it's an easy task for him, as the food is the best mediterranean food you will find without traveling to the middle east...and even then....I don't think you could find food as flavorful. Give them a try and you can thank me later. I'm literally checking my business calendar to see when my travels take me back to SoCal so I can go to Damasquino Mediterranean Restaurant again.“

“I love this place....all their dishes are delicious....if you haven't tried it....please do....there's never a day that the lines are out the door....speaks volumes!!!! The owner is a wonderful man....George is his name. So next time you see him call him by his name and you'll see for yourself.... :-)“
