50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Northridge

“Lemon Zest consistently delivers delicious food with the convenience of easy app ordering. Their new location on Reseda is beautifully designed, creating a great dining experience. The portions are generous, offering excellent value for the price. My two kids love the beef lule kebab plate—it’s big enough for them to share, with leftovers to spare. As someone who eats mostly vegan, I really appreciate the variety of plant-based options. I’ve tried the falafel plate, falafel wrap, veggie wrap, and several appetizers—all have been flavorful and satisfying. Highly recommend!“

“Yes I highly recommend the food, the service, and atmosphere.“

“Polecam ............. :)“

“Susan is delightful, and the food is FRESH & DELICIOUS....oh, that laffa bread!!!!!!!“

“This place is really REALLY good. To give you folks context, it’s a small restaurant off the food court in a Mall. So, you kind of go in thinking you’re going to get “mall food”.

But, no. Not at Kabab Lab (silly name, AMAZING food). Their combo plates come with a lot of rice, salad (with a great dressing), pita, humas, and excellent chicken and beef. Well cooked, juicy, well seasoned… it’s one of those places that “you have a taste for…” once you’ve tried it.

I cannot recommend it highly enough, but i can tell you that I keep coming back. I’d rather endure The Mall and have an excellent, delicious, well prepared meal instead of hitting some of my local places that aren’t nearly as good.

The restaurant is always very clean and well lit. It can get crowded but it’s the Mall so there is a lot of fast turn over. Plus there are another 100 tables in the common area if you aren’t in the restaurant itself.

The staff is always friendly and the cooks clearly know what they are doing.

Do yourself a favor and give it a try.“

“Excellent service, quality craftsmanship with the pitas, highly recommended with the weekly specials, great value prices as well as availability of food delivery via DoorDash or Uber Eats/Postmates. Recommended as a former CSUN student for local access & convenience if needing a quick snack/lunch/dinner option.

Parking: More than 15 spots estimated for the entire lot/shopping center.

Wheelchair accessibility: Door is leveled with parking lot as the door can be opened by the worker(s) whenever needed. The wheelchair accessibility applies to the restroom as well.“

“Delicious! Amazing food! Great service!My fish fillet with rice, beans and salad was very tasty.The scrambled pupusas also taste great.Passion fruit water tastes exactly as it should, not too sweet and not too sour, just the necessary flavor to refresh and quench thirst.Portions are very large, cater to the ferocious appetite, well I think so.The place is not very big, but the service is very good. I would definitely go back!!! test passed.“

“Both Jake and Brad were super helpful with answering any questions I had, as well as taking care of my order. They honestly seemed genuinely happy to be there and be of help. And that’s pretty awesome.

And of course the food was delicious, as usual!“

“This is the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever had! Everything was so flavorful! I had the lamb kabob plate and my dad had the chicken kabob plate, and both were fantastic! I eat a lot of mediterranean and this is absolutely the best! Its my new go to spot.“

“Incredible Mediterranean flavors! ?
The hummus was creamy, the falafel crispy, and the kebabs juicy. The service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was cozy. I highly recommend it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Shout out to Jasmine.

“Such a wonderful vegan oasis in the San Fernando Valley! As locals know vegan offerings in the valley are limited compared with the rest of the city. I am so happy that I found this place I will be coming here often! Great food and atmosphere all around!“

“Please place one more and write aboout kabab food“

“Edit: I love coming here and eating every chance I get. Too bad for inflation but I still get 2 meals out of the $15 meal. I came back and they have ice cream now!!! Of course I had to try.

The guy added a lot of Oreos and they’re nice and crispy. I should have gotten the Hersheys hard shell though.

Delicious food here! Fast service. The platter can last me a good 2-3 meals. The meal is so flavorful.

My bro likes the mixed platter, I like the chicken platter. The hot sauce is spicy, but so good. They give hot sauce and extra white sauce on the side. Pita costs extra, so I just used some I had at home.

The parking lot is small, so I park on the street when I can.“

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

“A wonderful place! We ordered takeout for dinner, and everything was top-notch. The portions were generous, the food was delicious, and the service was great. The menu variety was impressive, with something for everyone. The prices are justified by the quality, and we were very satisfied. It’s a great spot to enjoy a good meal. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Have you ever entered a business and immediately feel like you just walked into your home where family is waiting to greet you? That was the very feeling I had when I stopped by the NoHo Cafe today. I knew the food was good as I used the delivery service before. Today I decided to visit the Cafe and I promise I’ll continue going frequently. The food is delicious but what won me over was the welcome and love you experience when you walk in the door. The staff is amazing... the Cafe has a very “welcome home” atmosphere. The complimentary cup of soup is AWESOME. I sat at a corner table allowing me to do what I love...watch people. As I enjoyed my delicious first meal of 2020 I watched as every person who entered was treated with care and joy. Just like being home the staff will keep checking to see if the food is ok and if you need anything. The NoHo Cafe is a place I recommend to anyone wishing to enjoy a good meal and to experience a “welcome home” feeling. Thank you NoHo Cafe for starting my 2020 with a reminder of the importance of kindness.“

“Came on a Saturday to enjoy Mediterranean BBQ. Staff was amicable, a little slow in serving and taking orders and came to our table with someone else's order. I would highly recommend they do a number system (assign table number to customers for staff to reduce confusion). It was decent food, spices and grilled veggies were good. Chicken was a little thick and hard to cook all the way through those meats. Steak was a bit dry. Seasoned fries and hummus, Pita bread was good. Ambiance was settle, no music or noises. A little pricy but portions are good. Clean establishment. Parking can be a little tight in the parking lot.“

“The Lule kabob is very juicy and tender! Full of flavor! Very friendly staff, ready to take your order. Catering services are excellent too. They are closed Sundays, but they may cater food for special events on Sundays is you ask!“

“I love this spot the owner has great Persian food , the kinda flavor that is so different then the rest of the Persian res in the area, I swear the owner is this older nice men the place has home made food smells so good !He makes the best horash sabzi it’s the green herbs stow it comes with a side of rice and it’s really delicious!My friend loves kabobs so he orders that and says it’s very good !All the locals of the area eat here :)So in case you are in the Woodland Hills neighborhood I recommend grabbing lunch at this placeI enjoy every time I come here it reminds meof my moms food , so thank you for this“

“Great food and friendly staff. Owners greet you and serve!“

“Wow also serving hookah after 8:00 pm.“

“Food was nice and the atmosphere was great. The DJ was good. We loved the vibe. Drinks were nice too. We loved the passion fruit one. Jacob helped me with choosing options from the menu that were compatible with my food allergy. He was meticulous to make sure everything goes smoothly and safely. We absolutely loved the Arais. This is a good spot for dates and gatherings. Will be back :)“

“Most delicious food you can ask for“

“Food is really good, good prices, lot of food“

“Delicious love coming here“

“I’m always doubtful when I see a 5 star review, but this neighborhood gem certainly deserves it. The staff is friendly, everything is clean, but the food!!! We ordered the family plate (to eat there) which was to feed 4, and we could only eat about half - it could feed 4 growing teenagers. Everything they brought out was delicious. There was a plate of pickled vegetables, a bowl of fantastic hummus with pita, a large plate of garlic fries, a plate full of grilled vegetables, and a large platter full of grilled meats. Everything was flavored to perfection. The beef kabob was cut-with-a-fork tender. I would definitely come back. The only problem is that it is too close to home and I’d be temped to go too often!“

“The cashier was rude , I asked her if they sold carne asada fries. She pointed to the menu. I said it only says nachos. She replied " no" our Antonio's nachos are fries. How would I know that! I'm not a regular customer. And with that type of customer service surely I will not be a regular customer.“

“The food is amazing! I will definitely be going back. If you go for lunch order ahead, they make everything fresh.“

“1st time eating here , I came with one of my coworkers and all I can say the guy who helped us is very nice, prepared our dishes very fast, I had the lula kabob wrap, huge wrap btw and very delicious I couldn't finish all, just half, my coworker got the combination kabob, I'm looking forward to go again , I highly recommend this place

Parking: Is a small parking lot , plus is not parking only for magma, there are other shops“

“Omg the most delicious breakfast I have ever had , mr jamshid is the kindest person, thank you always and appreciate your neatness for this wonderful restaurant“

“Wow… this was truly spectacular… idk what I got… but the sandwich was a top 5 all time!! The meat is so freaking tasty, smells amazing and tastes even better. I asked for a recommendation and the cashier suggested correctly!! If I lived closer, I’d be here weekly.“

“Serra is amazing! and so is her food!“

“A gem of a restaurant! Beautifully designed interior, terrific service, and delicious food. We had the Chipotle Chicken Kabob plate with rice and a Cesar salad, and the Lule Chicken Wrap. The wrap was very good. The plate was huge, with ample portions. They also had Coke Zero! It looks like they will soon be serving beer and wine. This was my first visit and I definitely plan to return and try more from their menu. Well done, Lemon Zest!“

“Value! You get your money's worth here. I'll be back if I'm in the area.

12 noon on a weekday, there's a few open tables.

Food is great. I had the $14.50 chicken sandwich. It's better than subway, that's for sure. Served on a 10" french baguette roll thing, it was good because the chicken breat is an actual chicken breast.
Comes with about a cup of french fries.

Inside the place is clean, open and airy. Bright lights and walls. NOT dingy at all.“

“The best of the best Israeli/Mediterranean kosher food home made and you can taste the diffrence! I cant praise them enough. Try and you won't be disappointed! Amazing!!!“

“I first discovered Kebab shop while working in San Diego. It was my Go to there and now that I've found many more around my area I go quite frequently. Now that my wife has had it, when I ask her what she wants for dinner she replies Kebab shop! Your business gained some new patrons for life.
Not a big fan of the saffron rice but I love everything else.“

“Nice food, cooperative staff“

“My go-to lunch spot. I go to both of their locations and I am never disappointed. Delicious, flavorful steak and chicken plates. Hummus is amazing and their almond cookies always hit the spot! Worth every penny. Last but definitely not least, excellent customer service ?“

“Had the chicken shawarma plate for lunch. Nice, cozy, family-run restaurant that serves authentic Middle Eastern food. The chicken shawarma plate looked even better than the pic on the menu, and everything tasted freshly made. The salad was delicious too!“

“I’ve been here many times and I always like it“

“Fairly mid, especially for the price. The food was just ok but priced the same as restaurants with better tasting food. The beef koobideh had a very loose consistency and not flavored with the typical seasonings I'm used to but not bad. Hummus was absolutely flavorless, though. Steak wrap was good. We got 2 wraps from the 1 order and I'm not sure if that's just how it is or if we just got charged for 2. The rice was very tasty. In any case, the food was ok and service was good. Probably a one off for me but I can see someone else enjoying it more.“

“Been going here since I was in middle school

They have the friendliest staff. It's run by a lovely Armenian family

They always have great hospitality service and a smile. I also love seeing Salvadoran soda available as a fellow Salvi ??

They used to do onion rings back in the day but they're not on the menu. I wonder what happened because I used to love them

But the food here is straight up. Amazing! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but what introduced me to this place was their burgers which are just incredible. I just got one after so long and I just couldn't help but notice that it looks like the Real life version of the Krabby Patty

Love to see this place is still going strong“

“The Shawarmins are awesome! Very friendly and cool owners. HEY Guys! It's ME!“

“La Bella Mediterranean Restaurant has stolen our hearts as our ultimate go-to spot for Middle Eastern delights. With its perfect fusion of flavors and the sweet touch of Armenian charm, it's like dining in a cozy corner of our own home.Walking into La Bella feels like stepping into a clean, welcoming restaurant where every visit promises a delicious plate. And let's not forget the family matriarch - she's an absolute sweetheart who adds an extra sprinkle of love to every dish.From classics to creative twists, the menu never fails to surprise and delight our taste buds especially their super appetizing power plate known as the Sampler which has five different types of middle eastern dish sides to enjoy and yes they do make their Sarma (filled grape leaves wrapped with wonderful ingredients) fresh and not out of a can. Additionally we enjoy their entrees without ever being disappointed. It's clear that the chefs pour their hearts into each plate, and it shows in every bite.We couldn't be happier that La Bella has taken over this restaurant. It's become our go-to spot for any occasion, big or small. With its warm atmosphere and delectable dishes, La Bella has truly become a part of our culinary journey. We can't recommend it enough!“
