50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Playa Vista

“We love this place and eat here twice a week. The owner, Peter hires only helpful employees. The food is fresh and consistently delicious! The salted caramel baklava cheesecake is the best dessert ever!“

“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!!!“

“I like the food Jamil n actman is the best“

“Love this place. Always great music with a warm and welcoming atmosphere!“

“Getting there to be from best restaurant in LA. Tell Aviv cousin. Best vibe you have seen in LA.“

“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!“

“Delicious! Really interesting and tasty food.“

“If you are looking for a showstopping meal to share, this is exactly what to order. My friend and I came in for a late-night dinner and were blown away by how every dish complemented the next.

Start with the Marinated Olives, briny and fragrant with orange, lavender, and garlic confit. The Wild Mexican White Shrimp skewers were bright and tender with preserved lemon vinaigrette, and the Brussels Sprouts with date purée and brown butter were absolutely unforgettable. The Spiced Lamb Bolognese Radiatore was rich, savory, and the perfect way to round out the meal.

Our server was quick, attentive, and made easy adjustments for my friend’s non-dairy restriction without compromising the flavors. Every plate came out beautifully presented and full of flavor.

The atmosphere kept a lively buzz even as the night wound down, and though our table filled quickly with plates, we still scraped every one clean.

This spot delivers on both flavor and vibe. Highly recommend these dishes if you want a memorable meal to share.“

“This restaurant has excellent choice of delicious Lebanese food, beverages and desserts. Every thing is authentically signed (961) 🇱🇧🇱🇧“

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

“The Fig Restaurant is located in the Fairmont Hotel. The service was excellent, the food outstanding. The overall atmosphere was lovely. My photo is of the beautiful fig tree that stands at the hotel entrance. That alone is worth a visit for some :) We’ll be happy to come back.“

“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!“

“Elijah and the crew at Luna Grill are wonderful and nice! The food was delicious 😋 I’m definitely coming again! Thank you😊“

“This is a very popular place as it gets crowded even before normal dinner time. The semi-indoor/outdoor seating area is clean and relaxing.“

“If you’re reading this, here’s the short version: this is easily one of the best restaurants in Culver City, and you need to try it now!

It’s a small spot in downtown Culver City that you could walk past without noticing. I’m glad I didn’t. There are a couple of tables outside, but most of the seating is indoors. The space is modern, clean, and relaxing.

We ordered three dishes, all recommended by our waiter. The mussel toast is a must. Every bite is savory and packed with seafood flavor. For mains, we had the short rib and rainbow trout. The short rib was perfection. Cooked over fire and served with crispy potato strings. It’s something you get at high-end steakhouse but at half the price. The rainbow trout looked beautiful and tasted fresh, though the citrus was a bit stronger than I prefer.

For dessert, we couldn’t resist the churro and ice cream sandwich. The ice cream (another must try), sourced from a Persian maker, was rich with rose, honey, and pistachio. The presentation was just as impressive. The churros were decent, though I wished they were crispier and the dipping sauce was thicker.

Overall, I’d give this place a solid five stars. The food is close to Michelin quality without the Michelin prices. Go and you won’t be disappointed.“

“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“

“How can I say this...I love Hummus House and have for years! The food is delicious and has never disappointed. I go every chance I go to Hawthorne.“

“Came on a Thursday night and it was packed. It took 25 mins for my food to be ready, only 3 people working. The staffing didn’t meet TikTok-viral boosted demand. However, the chicken wrap was absolutely delicious. The different sauces that come with it are good and fun to dip, and the fries were flavorful, nice and crispy“

“5-star alert! My wife surprised me with this delicious Tunisian restaurant on Father’s Day! It was like an exotic trip to Mediterranean North Africa. The servers were good and the owner was super friendly and helpful! We had prawns, fish, lamb, cauliflowers, and the infamous Hand of Fatima. Everything was delicious, with unique flavors and beautifully presented. The sauces were so unique and flavorful, we had 3 orders of bread as we want to enjoy more of the flavors in every dish!“

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

“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!“

“Incredible experience. The staff is extraordinary, very friendly to the point where it feels like family. The pastries and coffee are rich and decadent. I had one of the best cappuccinos I’ve ever had and as a coffee connoisseur, I’m impressed.

The restaurant itself is a beautiful piece of art. They have a beautiful bar and really interesting and modern wine holders that are custom 3D printed on display inside.

I love It here and will definitely be back. It has the best energy.“

“This is the best Mediterranean/Lebanese food in LA. I have not tried a better falafel anywhere in the world yet... Definitely 10 stars!!“

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

“Dinner was superb tonight“

“I'm at a loss for words, but I'll try my best. Food? Amazing! Perfect amount of seasoning and the portions are huge! And this is coming from a big dude. For the appetizers, my favorites were the Kashk E'bademjan (Eggplant Delight), Potato Salad, and the Hummus! They have more selections, but this is what I was able to try. I hear all are great! For the Entrees, ALL OF THEIR KABOBS ARE FIRE (MMM MMMM YUMMY). I had a sample of most them and in the islands, we would say "broke da mouf kine", which translates to, the food is *beep beep* GOOD! If you've never had Persian Food, or you love it, this is the restaurant for you! Drinks? I love Korean Soju and Cass beer, so yeah, +10 points from me. They do carry various Wines and Beers though...and of course your choice of Soda Pop. Atmosphere? It' gives you a Kewl Kids Vibe; a classy place where you can be yourself with family and friends and just enjoy each others company. You have your choice of Indoor and Outdoor dinning which is amazing. There's also a private room upstairs that can hold 20 people for a meal and karaoke (there is a fee to reserve, but very much worth it). Staff? We were greeted at the door as if we were coming home. Pasha and his staff go above and beyond to make sure all your needs are met. Their suggestions on meal and drink pairings are spot on. I can't thank Pasha and the crew for making our group outing a success. Overall? I'll be going back and I hope that you add this restaurant to your list of 'go to' places to dine at. You will not be disappointed, I promise you. (Unless your attitude stinks or you're not willing to try new food ‍) Pasha again, thank you so much for the hospitality. I already told Fatemeh that I'll be coming back again. سپاسگزارم“

“We are blessed to have this King Mediterráneo in Torrance. The food is delicious and very generous on the portion served. When I go there, I always try to say hello to Ara or Norah. It is such a pleasure to see and talk to them, they make me feel that we are long time friends. For sure I recommend this place and give them a FIVE STAR rating. I assure you will not be disappointed. !!!!!!“

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

“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.

“Everything ; food; service“

“I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned — especially the hummus and the grilled meats. The staff were welcoming and attentive, and the atmosphere felt warm and authentic. You can really taste the quality and care in every dish. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!“

“Biggest strength: staff is friendly and nice.
Biggest weakness: long wait to get food

The restaurant was empty when I came in and it took 23 minutes to get a chicken kebab plate. A bit too long to be the only customer.

The food is good. Not great, but not bad or bland either.

The staff is very friendly and nice.

Price-wise it’s average. 24 dollars (included tax and tip) for a plate is not cheap but sadly has become the norm here in LA“

“A friend and I had lunch fresco style- patio area great! Superb service and food! The Lamb Chops were amazing! The Falafels were great— friend said they were super crunchy!“

“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!“

“The service was VERY friendly. My server, and several others, greeted me with genuine smiles. Started with Warak Enab Dolma/Sarma (stuffed grape leaves), which were excellent. They are the non-vinegar type which I much prefer, firm with plenty of rich olive oil. Then the Sea Bass entrée. Two full filets traditionally seasoned, a large salad, and potatoes. The tomatoes are perfect! Beautiful tea service. Very quaint atmosphere, friendly staff with genuine smiles, everything well presented. Will definitely be back. FYI: Ample free parking on the roof, enter on Western Ave (Petco).“

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

“Love love this little gem. The food was amazing. The owner was so kind. I felt like I was in someone's home. They way they served our food, and brought it out to us. Felt like aunty was cooking just for us. We love you guys so much. And I will definitely be coming back more regularly. Viva Palestina!!!!“

“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“

“Been meaning to check this place out for a while, and I finally got a chance this afternoon. I ordered the falafel plate. The food was made fresh to order. The falafel was crispy, and the hummus was perfect. He threw in some spicy eggplant, which was fantastic!

There’s a small seating area inside and some tables outside if you want to eat there. I did carryout.

Love this place! I’ll definitely be stopping by again!“

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

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

“The Rotisserie chicken was amazing!! I give it a 10! The spicy coleslaw was really good as well! Glad we decided to order for dinner. Yum! 🙂“

“This place is the bomb!

Healthy good wholesome Mediterranean food

We had a cashier server named Tiani. She was so kind to my wife and I, gave us sincere service with a smile and checked on us after we started the grub fest just because.

She also gave us recommendations and insight on the differences between the spices for the chicken

It was A1 customer service so Thank You CM and Tiani!!

Not only is the food delicious, but they had tunes playing at lunch time, classics from Prince to other ones I can’t even name, nice and steady.“

“So far, my experience working with Mr. Ralph Carico has been incredible. He is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of trading and well-connected. I feel very fortunate to have been referred to him. I highly recommend contacting him for your stock trading needs. He is the best trader. Ralph Carico is the real deal!“

“First time I ordered the delivery (3rd party) from Mizlala , and despite the courier getting lost and bringing the order in 45 mins - the food was still very fresh and delicious. Next day I was craving it again and decided to visit the place in-person, and my experience was absolutely outstanding: from service to food to
atmosphere at this very cozy location. Most kind and welcoming service by Alex & (the manager, sorry i forgot your name ) . Huge portions, very fair prices, and the food is so delicious and fresh, that you can taste it was made with love ! This is my favorite spot now whenever I crave this cuisine! Thank you so so much !“
