50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Reseda

“I recently tried Monaia Mediterranean Cuisine and was genuinely impressed by the quality of the food. If you’re looking for authentic Lebanese-style Mediterranean dishes, this place definitely delivers.

The standout for me was the grilled meat—everything from the chicken to the beef kebabs was cooked perfectly, juicy, and full of flavor. The shawarma was also excellent, with well-seasoned meat and fresh toppings. Their sides deserve just as much credit; the hummus was smooth and rich, and the baba ghanoush had a nice smoky depth that tasted homemade.

Portions are generous, which makes the prices feel fair, especially if you’re sharing plates. It’s the kind of place where you can order a few items and easily have enough for leftovers.

The atmosphere is pretty simple and casual—this isn’t a fancy or trendy spot, but more of a low-key neighborhood restaurant. Most people seem to order takeout, and it’s easy to see why the food travels well.

Service was solid and straightforward. Nothing overly attentive, but everything came out correctly and in a reasonable time.

If I had to point out a downside, it would be the ambiance. It’s not somewhere I’d go for a special occasion or a date night, but that’s not really what this place is trying to be.

Overall, Monaia is a hidden gem for anyone who cares more about authentic flavor than presentation. I’d definitely come back, especially when I’m craving quality Mediterranean comfort food“

“I’ve always enjoyed my visits to Cava, but Lorie today made the experience extra special by genuinely getting me to laugh with her wonderful disposition. Even more impressive, as I just left the hospital and haven’t been feeling well for some time.“

“I love the food is my favorite restaurant“

“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!“

“My my experience, my car was very good. I was treated fairly and with respect the food is very good Trevon and his crew members. What’s excellent and provide me the best customer service that I had in a long time I will for sure. Be coming back tomorrow in the next day the next day and the next day the next day, the next day. I might have to take Trevon to have him work at my company. Please let me have him.“

“Food is and always has been amazing! The chicken and lamb kebobs are my absolute favorites. There was a small mishap with my latest order, but the manager, Mike, called me personally and quickly addressed and resolved the issue. Great food and great customer service!“

“The lamb gyros are the best things ever. 😊“

“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!“

“The Lule kabob is very juicy and tender! Full of flavor! Very friendly staff, ready to take your order. Catering services are excellent too. They are closed Sundays, but they may cater food for special events on Sundays is you ask!“

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

“Jocelyn and Sal were awesome! Very accommodating and kind— a joy to interact with. I wish there was a bit more seating on hot days like this, but that’s not the restaurant’s fault, and to be fair, there’s A LOT of seating, anyway.“

“Raul was very welcoming! So many choices on the menu and everything sounded yummy.
I was unable to make a decision and Raul was helpful and accommodating.
Highly recommend this place!
Food is excellent👍👍“

“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.“

“I had my family at The Grill Stories Restaurant yesterday Feb. 28, 2026 There were 6 of us and the food was amazingly delicious we had two big family platers and extra sides , my daughter needs gluten free so she had the Mediterranean salad alone separately she said it was fantastic. The outside dining was very comfortable and cozy , it was a beautiful 85° weather . The round lady hostess and other people there were very friendly and welcoming . After we stuffed ourselves there was still plenty of food to pack and take home . Ultimately it was a great experience and with all the food it was approximately $35 per person including tax and tip, for most people it would be less because we ordered a lot of delicious food. We will return again Thank you to The Grill Stories“

“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)“

“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! 🙌“

“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.“

“Extensive menu with lots of options for sides, toppings and sauces. But the meat itself isn't that great. Both the chicken and lamb/beef were dry and not flavorful on their own. That's too bad because otherwise it's a pleasant venue with fast service. I won't be going back“

“todo está súper rico de verda selos recomindo yummy 😋“

“Halal House simply is the best for the plates! Chicken over rice and Gyro! I even got two Gyro pita wraps today. Its affordable, quick bite to heat right near CSUN. I also saw that they have burgers! Really good size and taste. This is my go to spot for halal food near Northridge, honestly.😀I“

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

“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“

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

“Absolutely loved this restaurant! The food was incredible 10/10! fresh, flavorful and beautifully prepared.

What really made the experience special was the customer service. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming

I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for DELICIOUS and REAL Armenian cuisine. Definitely be coming back!“

“Yes I highly recommend the food, the service, and atmosphere.“

“Excellent Lebanese restaurant! The food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was attentive, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. Highly recommend for anyone craving genuine Lebanese cuisine!“

“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.“

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

“Love this place! I order out and also dine at the Sherman Oaks location. My food is always fresh and delicious. The staff is always friendly and efficient. I especially love the flavored water with cucumber and lemon added for that extra touch whether I'm picking up food or sitting down to dine.“

“My favorite Lebanese place in the valley. Hands down!“

“Nice food, cooperative staff“

“Absolutely fantastic food! Not a fan of Key Lime pie but something told me to get it and I'm glad I did. Amazing and light without being overpowering or too sweet! We need a place like this in Boston (hint hint-expansion!). I'm here in LA for a month and I'll definitely be back!“

“I picked up a large order of khinkali, cheese khinkali, potato vareniki and some salads. Everything was amazingly delicious. I was in Georgia last year and honestly the khinkali from Gev’s was just as good if not better than what I had there. Can’t recommend this place highly enough.“

“Super tasty & halal 👌 highly recommended!“

“The food here is really delicious! Everything tastes fresh and full of flavor, and you can tell they put care into how it’s made. The people who work here are super sweet and friendly, which makes the experience even better.
The only downside is that the prices feel a bit on the higher side for a kebob stand. Still, the quality and taste definitely make it worth trying. Overall, great food and great service!“

“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“

“Very good food. Everything we ordered was good and reminded me of actual Armenian homemade food like my parents would make. Service also was very accommodating and welcoming. I ordered last minute before closing and they were so nice to take my order and prepare it and waited for me to go get it. I will definitely recommend this place to everyone.“

“My first time trying Mediterranean food and what can I say, the dishes were authentic and so delicious, especially the Fattoush Salad . Loved it so much. I will definitely recommend to my friends.“

“I forgot who recommended this place but I'm glad I came. Ordered the Beef Lula ate that during a movie. Was so satisfied with that when back after the movie & got the Chicken Lula & BBQ. Some of the most authentic and delicious Armenian food I've had in awhile. I will definitely be back with guests.“
