46 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Porter Ranch

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.

“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!“

“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!“

“I always love coming in here. The vibes and the staff are really nice. The food is delicious. The pricing can get a little high but they compensate for the excellent portion sizes! Hummus is literally solid ??

Parking: It’s in the center“

“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.“

“Polecam ............. :)“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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“

“I GENUINLEY really love how everytime I come here it’s never a dull experience. The workers here are so nice always ready to serve and help. I wish I could name each one of them ! But this is definitely my favorite cava of them all!! Especially Zeke he’s a star grill employee always making sure customers get the freshest food!“

“I enjoyed a healthy and delicious lunch meal here. The staff was very friendly and helpful with recommendations.“

“We go here about once a week and it is consistently good. The portions are very generous so if you add a kabob to a meal it’s definitely enough for 2 adults to split.

Parking: There’s a lot behind and they validate for free.“

“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 ?“

“Amazing food! We tried everything from their beef, fish, chicken kabobs to the variety of rice! Our favorite the lentil with raisens, super delicious! Highly recommend🔥“

“First off, do NOT drive to the front of the restaurant. The front entrance is on the lane to the On Ramp of the freeway. You will be forced to take the freeway and drive around a few extra miles. There's a nice paid parking lot behind the restaurant.
Once you get to the restaurant, though, you're greeted by friendly staff. The service is great and fast. The food is awesome. Everything we ordered tasted very nice, and the portions are pretty big. I would definitely recommend the Brussel sprouts and the chicken shawarma. The Babaganoush is delicious as well.

Vegetarian options: Falafel, salads, hummus, babganoush, Brussel sprouts.

Parking: There's a paid parking lot behind the restaurant.
Do NOT drive to the front. The front of the restaurant is on the on-ramp to the freeway. You will have to take the freeway and spend a few more minutes coming around.“

“Great food great experience loved it would come agin.“

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

“There is NO PORK at this amazing kosher restaurant !! For some reason it was posted by a random individual that doesn't understand KOSHER LAWSWhat delicious food !! Home cooking at its bestI was ecstatic to find my new favorite lunch spot with leftovers !!“

“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“

“December 21, 2024

I was searching my app for an affordable mediterranean spot and this place came out so I gave it a try. I thought their food was good because it had a good rating online and their food looked good in the pictures but I was wrong because their food wasn't good, it was actually super great! The cashier, manager, and server were super nice and attentive and it costed me about almost only $30 for two skewers, salad, and hummus.“

“I only recently went into Cicek's Chicken and couldn't believe how delicious it was. The quality is consistent every time. The moutabal is to die for, and the garlic sauce hits so good with the chicken. Speaking of which, the chicken is juicy and perfect. The filet mignon is so delicious too. Just tried the baklava and WOW, didn't expect it to be as delicious as it was. I was genuinely surprised. So happy to be a semi-regular now, this place rules. Give it a shot.“

“I love coming here with my family. We are welcomed with open arms and great customer service. But don't get me started on the food. The quality is top tier. Compared to other similar restaurants, you can taste the quality of the meat. There is an indoor and outdoor seating to enjoy. 10/10 recommend.“

“Great service, lovely restaurant. We ate outdoors and loved it. Really good food!!! Went there for lunch and we will go back again!!!!“

“This is a very cute restaurant and the food is fantastic. The servers were all very friendly. I highly recommend the chilaquiles, it is not a very large portion as I typically would expect of a dish like chilaquiles, so if you’re sharing, order at least one per every two people. It has a very pleasant citrus taste to it and the chips are great. The egg pizza (add bacon) is fantastic. The combination of flavors between the runny egg yolk, caramelized onions, bacon, and cheese all blend magnificently together. I also had the Noa’s cauliflower, which was good but not as amazing as the previous dishes, however that didn’t stop me from eating all of it. The chefs French toast is a bit eggy, but makes a nice sweet finish to brunch. I would highly recommend this place and will definitely be eating here again.“

“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.“

“Service with love. The food is amazing. The owner is very kind.“
