16 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Pasadena

“Loved it! Excellent luleh kebab! Will definitely go back again!“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We go for the trout and beef koobideh! Fantastic food and warm, friendly service.“

“I really despise when the restaurant is fairly empty and the host sits everyone in the same section. I’ve never worked in this industry so I'm not sure of the reasoning behind the practice. It always bothers me but today in particular because the groups of people who the host chose to seat by me were wearing the loudest perfumes/colognes that really assaulted my senses. I was dining alone and enjoying the quietude and there was still plenty of empty seats in other parts of the restaurant. Sigh… Next time I'll order take out.“

“The food was great!! and good company.“

“I stopped in to get some hummus and garlic paste to go but see there $11.99 chicken kabob special and decided to try it. I am so glad I did. The dark meat chicken was so tender the side salad was delicious a fun the hummus was good even the rice was tasty. I will def recommend to anyone just passing by to try it!! Unfortunately I live far and can’t come back anytime soon but I wish I could.“

“I’ve been coming here for years for the beef plate beef kebab. The food is great. The salad is also top-notch as well as the nice air conditioning dining area for those hot days. If you want you could even sit outside in the patio either way it’s an all-around good experience and a good place to eat good healthy food“

“only downside is the parking, you have to engage on a busy Pasadena Street possibly even walk some steps over there but it is more than worth it! Fresh and delicious scrumptious food, where the owners really really really take pride in and care about what they are providing to others. check out their menu, dont miss this gem.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😍😍😍😍😍 every meal is made fresh. Hands down a favorite“

“Good food and excellent service!“

“Wonderful place to celebrates Valentine’s Day“

“Overall my experience was exceptional. I’m so grateful for not only the tastey cuisine but for the proper facilities provided for patrons like myself who have IBS -Type M and live with alternating (sometimes instantaneous) bowel habits -I never know what my experience is going to be like dining-in and zankou chicken has allowed me to continue to dine in with my friends and dates without any worry that I won’t make it to the bathroom in time. This location’s restroom is in clear sight, accessible, has multiple stalls and they always keep extra toilet paper stocked incase it’s an IBS -Type D day (if you know what I mean!) Haha anyways, I just wanted to post this to spread awareness of IBS Type-M incase there is anyone out there afraid to enjoy their favorite Mediterranean restaurant with the ease knowing your pants will stay doo doo free (srry for not using scientific terms sometimes you just gotta make the most of it and laugh ;D )“

“I am addicted to the sahara fries. I have been there 3 times and everytime I say that I will be trying a new dish but their sahara fries (half cream chop and half chicken shawerma) always seem to be calling my name, the atmosphere gives a very casual semi fast food vibe but the food is quality. HIGHLY recommend this place.“

“Recently my nephew got married and on his reception taken place on universal city Hilton hotel and we found Mazze banquet from Pasadena for catering. The food was excellent the service was excellent everything was on time. We had 250 guests and everything went smoothly. Food quality was 10 out of 10. Service was 10 out of 10. So happy so happy. Definitely recommend.“

“Phone in your order to speed up the wait. I usually get the garlic chicken panini. It's so so so very good. Keep in mind the limited hours. I wish they were open for dinner. It's also one of the few places you can still get a copy of the Pasadena Weekly.

Parking: If you don't see a spot to park in front, just park in the back. You enter the parking lot on the west side of the building. There's always an empty parking spot in back, but not as shaded.“

“My first time at CAVA…the food was so fresh and delicious! We will definitely go back!“
