50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Pacific Palisades

“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!“

“The cafe was another of the highlights of the visit to the villa. We had the antipasto platter which was perfect as a snack after the visit. But all the food looked great. They offer free water from a container but also offer sodas, beer, and wine. It's an awesome setting and food was fast. Great place!“

“Lovely spot for a delicious, fresh lunch. A wonderful find after a long hike nearby. Owner is very hospitable, and we enjoyed our time at Fiesta Feast very much. We look forward to returning again very soon! Thank you for a great experience!“

“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!“

“This restaurant was absolutely perfect! Loved the outdoor dining and how you could see the kitchen. My friend got their wine flight which apparently was good, and they have nonalcoholic wine! The food was delicious, we got 5 plates and dessert for 4 people. The strawberry apricot meringue tart was insane. Thank you!!!“

“Great spot for lunch or dinner“

“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) 🇱🇧🇱🇧“

“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.“

“Stopped in here today and glad we did. This is a very comfortable open air patio restaurant with outstanding food.

My wife had the chicken kabob plate and I had the beef plate. They were very tasty. Even the rice was very flavorful. My favorite was the beef shish kabob. It was tender with really good flavor.

The staff was friendly and helpful.

Overall a great experience!“

“Luna Grill was looking real clean when I walked in, so off to a good start. Ordered the chicken and beef kabob plate...solid portion for the price. Flavors were nice, but the beef leaned a little salty. Now, about those metal chairs… rock hard. Felt like I was sitting on a slab of concrete. A little padding wouldn’t hurt. Food was good, though, so I’d come back...just maybe seat on the booth next time.“

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

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

“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.

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

“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“

“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.“

“This is the first time I have ever been to one of the Bacari locations. This one, in Sherman Oaks, is excellent. My daughter, Lauren, picked this restaurant. I was surprised, because Lauren usually picks out more expensive restaurants.

Bacari is a tapas type restaurant. The prices are reasonable because the portions, and the plates, are small. They recommended ordering three plates per person.

We ordered one plate for each of us and a Margarita pizza to share. The pizza was excellent. I had the Bacari burger. It was amazing. My wife had sea bass, and our daughter had a filet. We all enjoyed our meals.

Service was prompt, friendly, and efficient. In this restaurant, they bring out each plate as it's ready. That encourages people to share and socialize.

The restaurant was quite noisy inside. They have a nice little courtyard with outdoor seating. It was slightly less noisy in the outdoor courtyard.

For people who want to lose weight and still have delicious meals, I recommend Bacari Sherman Oaks.“

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

“So I’ll start this by saying that I’ve eaten a lot of gyros in my life. I like gyros. So when I saw there was a spot near me serving gyros, it really excited me and filled a craving that I had for awhile.
I got two lamb gyros with feta cheese and extra tomato/onions. I was greeted with a smile and a laugh from an extremely nice couple. They got my food to me quick and I devoured both. Honestly I could’ve just done one with how big they were.

Here are the takeaways: great food, great service, and great prices. That’s all I need“

“The atmosphere at this place is wonderful—warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax. The hookah is excellent, with a variety of flavors. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy good food, great ambiance, and top-notch hookah!“

“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!“

“We went for happy hour, which is only one hour, from 5-6, but it is truly the best in Santa Monica. Everything on the menu is half priced, but full quality. You can't go wrong. Everything is excellent. The drinks, food, service, atmosphere, and even the other people around you. Everyone is just in a good mood. The servers move fast - unlike some happy hours where they try not to serve you, they serve you quickly and often. It's a good idea to look at the menu in advance to get an idea of what you want. They put on an auto tip of 20% of what it would be without HH prices (which is fair) and they circle it so you're fully aware. Plan to arrive about 10-15 minutes early if you don't have reservations so you can sit at the bar. They open at 5, which is the start of HH, but you can line up earlier than that. Parking is tough as it can be in Santa Monica. It's by the beach, so if it's a nice day, you may need to walk a bit if you don't want to park at the hotel.“

“DELICIOUS 😋HEALTHY FOOD AND VERY NICE AND FRIENDLYCUSTOMER SERVICE .“

“Very nice meals. Good luck!“

“great food. hands down awesome“

“Got there right at closing time with our online order mistakenly scheduled for the next day, and manager Juan and server Vanessa could not have been more gracious and professional in how they handled the situation. They rallied to make sure I got the wrap I ordered for my son, and I am extremely grateful for the team taking the time to make him a delicious meal even after all the food was put away for the night. Kudos and thank you!“

“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“

“We had a meal at Mon Ami in Santa Monica with friends, and we had a great time. As French visitors, we really enjoyed the cocktails, which were excellent and beautifully crafted. The place is nicely decorated, warm, and welcoming. The staff was excellent – very friendly and professional. We ordered the tajine, which was good, but a bit simple in its preparation – a little disappointed with this dish that we know well. Overall, it's a place worth visiting if you're in Santa Monica!“

“Very great place to eat, I just went there today the salad is so good!! 🤗❤️“

“Me and my friends went to Calabra for sunset and had the best experience. Our server, Danil, was amazing. He went above and beyond, especially when one of us asked for a drink that wasn’t on the menu. His recommendations were spot on, and we loved the seafood tower. Overall, the service from the entire staff was excellent. Other servers checked in on us, cleared plates promptly, and brought the bill without delay. Danil’s attention and friendliness truly made our visit extra special. 🤩“

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

“Delicious food. My favorite Kabob spots on the Westside🙌🏽“

“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.“

“The staff here is really kind. They work very hard and are super nice. The owner needs to compensate them better and more fairly or hire more people to help them because it seems they are always busy and stretched thin but still do their very, very best.

As far as the food, it is very overpriced. You don't seem to receive your money's worth but it is still fresh and not too bad in the taste department.

The atmosphere feels tiny but is quite cozy as a result.

Overall, I would return but maybe not frequently. The people working here are the best part of the experience and they deserve better pay and more help.“

“Leider waren die Besitzer nicht da Hätte gerne mit Ihnen ein bisschen gequatscht😏“

“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 🤤🤤“

“Such a lovely, beautiful and relaxing outdoor patio. Very good food. Best warm chocolate chip cookies ever!! We will def come back again soon.“

“Wooooowwww such a gem of a find! I was hungry looking for a kebab and came across A&V. The warmth and hospitality I encountered were when walking in from A&V was amazing! They explained everything patiently when I asked what to order.

I ended up selecting a chicken shawarma plate and soup and wooooow it was the best chicken shawarma I’ve had in SoCal and I’ve tried a loooot of shwarma places. The chicken was cooked fresh over a charcoal grill infusing it with so much smoke and flavor only a charbroiled cooker can have.

The combination of everything in the soft lavash was sooooo delicious and super generous in terms of portions! I could only eat half of it. Another main highlight are the potatoes! While most kebab places just give fries, A&V hand cut their fires and infused them with garlic oil and cilantro which paired super well with the shwarma.

I would whole heartedly again here again for a shwarma fix.

Even paired it with an Armenian tarragon soda to wash down the deliciousness, amazing!“

“Very friendly staff and excellent food with lots of choice to pick from. 👍👍👍“

“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. Very healthy and hearty options, the owner is a delight, and makes sure you are well taken care of.Very consistent amazing quality food made fresh daily.“

“Ok place .. food is not so great.. the hummus is fine .. except of that the rest is really so so .. I’ve eaten in a better places ..but again it a matter of taste .. they still got for me 5 starts as they are a local business and I support their efforts to hire local people.. but they need to improve the service and the quality of the food..“

“This place ROCKS. We came in right before take out dinner rush but we decided to eat in. It was hot out but they quickly turned on the AC for us. While we had to wait a little bit for our food to come out, it was WORTH IT. You could tell everything was super fresh.

Best baba ghanoush we’ve ever had! Get the family appetizer platter to give it all a try. Super cheap, super fresh, kind and lovely folks. Go support Rosemary Grill!“

“Lemón Zëst is an absolute gem! It's the perfect spot for a satisfying meal that leaves you feeling energized. The menu offers a wonderful variety of light yet flavorful dishes that are ideal for any time of day. What truly sets this place apart is the delicious food that tastes so fresh and authentic. The interior is bright and inviting, with cute lemon-themed decor that gives it a cheerful and refreshing vibe, making it a great place to relax and enjoy your meal. Parking is super convenient, with a lot just around the corner, making it easy to access. If you prefer, there’s also metered parking available right out front, which is great for a quick visit. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual bite or a more leisurely dining experience, Lemón Zëst provides a nice and enjoyable atmosphere. I highly recommend giving it a try!“

“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!!!“
