50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Pacific Palisades

“This is a lovely cafe for lunch and/or coffee. There staff is very friendly and helpful accommodating our requests for additional salad dressing. However it closes at 3pm, at which time you can no longer refill your fountain drinks. The view and the ambiance is absolutely amazing. The outdoor seating areas are well spaced out and shaded. The Villa Burger is a good balance of gruyere cheese, beef patty, Arugula, onion jam and brioche bun. Three garlic fries are perfectly seasoned with garlic and parsley. The Market Salad with apple, quinoa and chicken is generous and well dressed with shallot vinaigrette. The prices are definitely 10-20% higher but the ambiance is worth it.“

“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!“

“what an amazing experience from the service to the food to just sitting under the stars it was fantastic we loved our dinner“

A special shoutout to Andres, who truly went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience. He was so patient, helpful, and genuinely took the time to make sure all my questions were answered.

“my boyfriend and I came here for the first time and LOVED IT! I’m middle eastern and was drooooooling over the wagyu shawarma. I was on the fence about getting the hummus side and ultimately decided against it bc I wasn’t sure how much food I wanted - but then 5 minutes later the lovely man working ( I didn’t get his name but he had tunnels ) very very kindly brought out a small side of hummus for us to try and it was bomb! the fries also fantastic and only $5! i’m pretty sure they make the ketchup because it was delicious. next time i’ll be getting the full side of hummus and adding a side of hot sauce. one of my new favorite spots“

“Hands down, one of my favorite restaurants in LA. My husband and I visit here 2-4 times a month. All the locations are beautiful and unique, but our favorite is Sherman Oaks. It's our home local restaurant, and the entire staff knows us and takes great care of us. It was just our 17th anniversary, and the staff made us feel so special. But then again, they always make us feel special, so we just love everything about this place. Our go-to must-haves are the chicken sliders, fries, and the little gem. And to end the meal, we order vanilla lattes, the best cake and ice cream. It's simply the best!“

“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“

“Chris has been extremely trained in the Art of Customer Service. One of the most friendliest if not the friendliest experiences I've had at any Cava Store. I will definitely be coming back and letting my coworkers know to come here for healthy food and Excellent Service... Music also made it for a Good Vibe...“

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

“I love this place and come constantly. The food and service are fabulous. The staff are extremely friendly and the atmosphere is so beautiful. I really wanted to give five stars, but I just wish the owner would fix the A/C. I feel really bad that the staff have to work in such hot temperatures in the summer, especially the gentleman working the grill. Please fix it for them and I'll be happy to leave another 5-star review :)“

“Had a wonderful brunch at Fig Restaurant! The setting overlooking the pool was beautiful and relaxing. We ordered the Fig Cobb Salad and Eggs & Steak, and both were delicious. The service was friendly and attentive as well. Make sure to ask for their steak sauce, it’s amazing! Definitely a great spot for a special brunch.“

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

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

“As someone born and raised in Greece,
I’m very particular about what I call authentic Greek food—and Taverna at The Mar Vista is the real thing. 🇬🇷

The food genuinely brings me back home.
The recipes have been passed down through three generations, and you can taste that tradition in every dish.
This isn’t Americanized Greek food; it’s the kind of simple, flavorful, traditional cooking I grew up with in Greece.

A special mention to Maria, the consulting chef—she is absolutely incredible.
Her passion, knowledge, and respect for authentic Greek cuisine come through beautifully in the food.

Their Sunday lunch/brunch and traditional Greek BBQ are a must—beautiful grilled meats, fresh Greek salad, tzatziki, warm pita,
and all the flavors you expect from a real Greek taverna.

The service is excellent—warm, attentive, and genuinely hospitable—and the ambience is amazing.
Sitting outside under the trees honestly gives you that relaxed Mediterranean feeling of a Sunday afternoon back in Greece.

Three generations of recipes, authentic Greek flavors, wonderful hospitality, and an atmosphere that feels like home.
The most authentic Greek experiences in Los Angeles. 🇬🇷💙“

“This is such a wonderful find! I was looking for something healthy and filling, and this exactly hit the spot. Jake and Josue were so friendly and took time to walked through the menu with me. 5 out of 5, if you’re looking for a healthy flavorful meal and a friendly vibe this is your spot!“

“Very nice meals. Good luck!“

“The food was fantastic! The service was good too but at times it felt like there was too much time between when our server came by. The drinks took a long time to come out, and when they arrived on of the drinks was spilled by the server. The 4th course came out before the 3rd course. The $70 dinner sampler is a great way to try a variety of food but it's not really a great value; the portions were almost laughable. Corkage is allowed for a $35 per bottle fee.“

“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“

“great food. hands down awesome“

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

“This is my fav CAVA location around me. Hakima and the whole staff are super helpful, kind, and patient yet quick! The perfect spot for a lunch outing or a quick lunch break. Thank you for always providing great service and delicious food. The Harissa Avocado salad is my fav! :)“

“This place is a MUST VISIT! Incredible food, stunning patio and ambiance, and the service was out of this world. Our server, Shirel, was extremely knowledgeable and made sure we were taken care of throughout the entire experience. That is what it is at Alisa - not dinner - an experience! Beautiful wine list, amazing people, fabulous service and food. Highly recommend!“

“The food was AMAZINGG I can’t wait to go back and eat it again. They reached my protein and calories goals while being delicious. The atmosphere and service was amazing and Jennifer was welcoming and had a Bright smile. Would go again 😊“

“We had a fantastic dinner here. I ordered the chicken combo plate and my wife had the beef combo plate Both were amazingly delicious - perfectly cooked, tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The service was friendly and full of good energy. Highly recommend next time you're in Sherman Oaks.“

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

“Love the atmosphere, great place to try authentic Turkish dishes ( İskender , dolma , mercimek çorba, Lahmacun) 😋😋😋🇹🇷🧿“

“Had such a great time here with my cousins. We were visiting from Chicago, and it was the perfect LA experience. The food was delicious, the service was amazing, and the atmosphere made the whole visit even better. Everyone in our group loved it, and we left happy and completely satisfied.

Definitely a place I’d recommend to anyone looking for great food, great vibes, and an even better experience. We’ll definitely be back! 🙌“

“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“

“King’s Kabob is a 10/10 recommend. Best Mediterranean food in Culver City by far. As CC residents, we’ve been looking for a good small business to support and King’s is perfect. Kafta plate was delicious and appreciated the extra pita, Greek salad was amazing and the hummus was great. Wait was short and service was amazing. The Mom-and-Pop duo was so sweet and the woman went so far as to personally come out, thank us, and wish us a great day :) All in all, King’s Kabob is a great experience and we totally recommend.“

“First time here, the whole experience was good. The place was clean, food came out good, and the atmosphere was nice. Got greeted right away when I walked in. Great hospitality and customer service overall. Definitely coming back. Thank you Hendrix“

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

“Craving for a Decaf? No, it’s dangerous to dilute my caffeine. Let’s begin this new cafe adventure.

Cravings cafe is a cozy lil cafe in West Hollywood area at the lobby of Avaco Center building. They’re known for breakfast, paninis and Mediterranean kabob plates. Similarly, they serve coffee and tea drinks.

I came to grab some breakfast sandwich and coffee drink. Food was delightful as well as the coffee. Staff were nice and competent. Prices are fair. Atmosphere was inviting. Their indoor and outdoor seats were spacious.

Overall, it’s a nice lil cafe for coffee and breakfast. I recommend it.“

“We just moved in the neighborhood and this place is easily my new favorite.

I got the chicken delight (summer delight with chicken) and I definitely want to try all their sandwiches.

The staff is genuinely warm and friendly too. Definitely want to come back as much as possible.“

“Fresh, filling and delicious!“

“Food is great and service was fine. Unfortunately, the location lacks any charm. It's dark, cavernous and lacking in any charm or warmth. I love the location on West Adams, but will not return to the Sherman Oaks location unless it's for takeout. They really need to find a new space“

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

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

“Really surprised how much the prices went up. But I guess that's everywhere. None of us ordered the sandwiches so can't comment. But the plates come with your own bowl of hummus and your own garlic butter which is excellent. The kafka is very savory. And the rice is cooked to perfection. Fluffy, light. I do not recommend ordering the meal for 2 , even though you get 3 different meats. My husband got the kafka and I got the chicken kabob, there are 2 large pieces each so we divided it to have one of each. And we got more food than the other couple who ordered the bar b que for 2 . We were given a plate of 4 baklava rolls also, which was a nice surprise. Or server very attentive , pleasant friendly. It's not a big place, a lot of takeout.“

“Beyond excellent! Anything they cook is delicious high quality, flavor(real Persian taste), stuff very friendly, clean (tables,restrooms), definitely I’ll be back, back again, again and again, price(for what the do is very affordable)“

“Great service .. delicious good . Will be back“

“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!“

“We had a great time! Thank you for making it so special I.“

“I tried the beef shawarma plate here for lunch and it was delicious. Some places the flavor shifts are you dive into the plate, but this plate had a very consistent and satisfying taste. The staff is busy. The place has a very busy vibe to it with just a few people here.“
