Middle Eastern Restaurants near Montebello, CA

“We have been to Golden Skewer many times in the past, but had not been here for several years (don't know why not). But it was my birthday and Mediterranean food sounded good. We were pleasantly surprised by the updated decor, and the menu had a few items I didn't remember seeing previously . . . we found out that the ownership changed a few years ago.

We shared a Greek salad, which was very fresh (and was enough for a party of 4 to share, although there were only two of us). I had the chicken kabob plate which was excellent, and chose only the rice pilaf, but was offered a choice of two sides. There are plenty of entrees to choose from -- and they all look good!

Pita and hummus was complimentary. We were not rushed in any way.

The restaurant has a large banquet room (we held my father-in-law's 80th birthday party here in 2003) and there was a large birthday party in progress, but you wouldn't really know it except for the folks entering the restaurant and heading to the back.

Golden Skewer is an excellent choice . . . prices are modest and the service was very attentive.“

“Always a good interaction when coming to Z Falafel. The cooks are such nice guys and always so helpful when I may ask about one of their many options on the menu. I always try to switch up my plate when I come here and not once have I had a disappointing meal from this location. Keep going hard!“

“Great food! Excellent service! 😍“

“Would recommend this place. Especially the falafel, might be the best I've ever had! Very crispy on the outside with a soft and tasty filling. Big portions, we had enough to also bring home some of it for breakfast the day after. Liked the variety of all the different food such as feta, salad, humus, pita, lentil soup. Also very kind and genuine family who runs the place, thanks a lot!“

“Best spot in downtown. Family owned business, great service literally made it feel like I was visiting a family member, eating a home cooked meal. Food was hands down the best Mediterranean food I've ever had, coming from an Armenian that eats this stuff at least twice a week. A must try Mediterranean spot in downtown LA.“

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

“We were invited to this restaurant. Food was average. I had better Persian food. It was on the blend side. They will spice it up of you tell them.
Service was not up to par. The lady who took our order was confused. Our host repeated it a couple of times. They also mentioned to serve everything on a family platter. However it can as an individual dish. The host was upset as they come here regularly and this was not what they expected for their guest. We assured they it is fine.
The kabob and kubbedieh were very soft and juicy. They also serve extra butter. Kids enjoyed the fried and burger. They said it was good.
They have a nice spot for salah. I wish it was bigger for more people to pray. Us ladies had to wait along time till the guys are done.
Restaurant is very old but clean and taken well care of.

Parking: You have to park on the street next to the restaurant. It is hard to find during peak hours.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access but hard to maneuver inside the restaurant.“

“This used to be that yogurt place before COVID lol, but anyways...
The food here is amazing! Went for my first time recently and I will go back as a regular. I had the Wrap with chicken and bunch of other stuff in it and it just tasted so flavorful and good amount for the price. Highly recommend if you want mediterranean food nearby.“

“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.“

“Loved the place it’s so cute and cozy in there! The food is amazing and their gala cakes are probably some of the best I’ve had

They did accidentally switch my vegetarian order for one with check, but the servers were incredibly nice and threw in a free baklava for their mistake

Everyone is super kind! It’s kind of hard to find parking as it’s mostly street parking, but overall it was a great experience and meal“

“The lamb gyros are the best things ever. 😊“
