50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Rosemead

“Hands down some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever had! I ordered the beef lulu and filet mignon plate. The filet mignon was more tender than I’ve had at $100 streakhouses and the beef lulu was seasoned to perfection. Everything from the tomato and cucumber salad to the hummus was extremely fresh!

On top of that, the lady who works the counter is extremely friendly and made sure I felt at home even though I showed up near closing time.

I’ve found my new go-to Mediterranean spot.“

“Food is excellent. Ordered the chicken thigh kabob and they were juicy and perfect amount of seasoning. We dined in and the portions were a lot. Get the grilled tomato! The pink dressing (I think they use beets) was a nice change. It’s not a fancy place, but it’s clean and employees were very polite. Would go back to try other menu items.“

“Food drooling good. Just amazing. Service is okay atmosphere is also just okay. For what the restuant is the food is surprisingly good. Easily one of the best resturants I've been to locally. Pointing more expensive than your average food but definitely worth the price. Food quality is amazing and whatever they do in there has to be magic. Absolutely delicious. Banger everytime“

“Great Lebanese taco joint. Vegetarian options. Generous portions. Very satisfying.“

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

“The food is great.
It gets packed so you do have a to wait a bit but once I got the food, you can tell the quality of the food and why lots of people order.
Its a Mediterranean/mexican fusion, as a mexican... I like. Good combination.
It has a meat market next to it, which i wasn't able to check out, it has Halal meat which i prefer. I'll be checking it out soon.
I got the kabob combo, it was a big plate.
Asada fries, decent size.
Steak wrap, big.

All in all, great prices for the food we got.
Will be visiting again soon, they have a large menu to try.“

“The food is amazing! You can’t be the quality of the ingredients.“

“I've been coming to the spot for probably over 10 years and the experience overall has been solid. The owners are always really polite, the food is put together ridiculously fast, and the flavors are pretty familiar and flavorful as you would expect from Mediterranean food. I will say, that perhaps there's a little bit of shrinkflation because most restaurants, the portions just seem a little smaller. I think for this cafe, everything is pretty much the same with high quality hummus, tasty rice, fresh salad, but I think the meat portions are a little smaller than I remember a year ago. Also, this round, my lamb skewers were a bit overcooked and on the dry side. But, perhaps this is just an anomaly for this visit. I'm going to try again probably this month!“

“Great place, delicious food 😋. Worth the drive 👍“

“Good food and excellent service!“

“nice place to dine with family, owner is extremely nice and the food is excellent taste and quality highly recommend“

“Mediterranean cravings = officially handled at Wahib’s Mediterranean Express🤌🔥

Hidden inside Blossom Market Hall, this spot is serving up fresh-made Mediterranean comfort food that seriously hits every time. We tried the Chicken Kebob Plate, Gyro Wrap, and garlic fries… and honestly, not a single miss👏

The chicken was juicy, the gyro wrap was PACKED, and those garlic fries disappeared way too fast🧄🍟 Already planning my next visit for their Filet Mignon and housemade grape leaves because yes — they make them fresh in-house daily😮‍💨✨

Perfect SGV food hall stop when you want something flavorful, filling, and fresh💯“

“good and healthy food and very delicious too.“

“My friend and I visited zankou
first time. When we walked in Lucy greeted us with a big smile She was so friendly. We tried the quarter white chicken and a tarna wrap. The food tasted delicious and love the garlic.
The address 1296 Colorado Ave.
Pasadena, Ca“

“I ordered takeout and was happily surprised! I got the chicken shawarma wrap and it was delicious! It did take about 25 minutes for my order, so plan ahead and order online through their website. The ladies working were very kind and attentive. Will be back to try more of their dishes!“

“I know a lot of are going to say no way! So on the 2025 Super Bowl a specific taco vendor was highlighted I’ll say. Without name dropping we all know who I’m talking about, if not look it up.
I e definitely had both… But I guarantee!! Tirzaha is 100% better!!
Try them both as I did I’m stuck on Tirzahs Mex-Terranean!!“

“I am now permanently coming to this location, food was much better than the bell location. The kabobs combo was genuinely the best plate I have had in LA. High five to the amazing cook here!! Highly recommend it. I didnt even get to take a picture of the food because it was so good I just devoured it 😁“

“Its my wife's birthday so we wanted something GOOD and memorable. Went to Nancy's for dinner and it was so good! Horiatiki, humus and barbecued shrimp. Pita, fresh. Humus tasty. Horiatiki delicious. Shrimp perfectly cooked and delicious. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES - chains are fine, but local eats means the money stays in the community.“

“Excellent food (and service) at good prices. Dinner plates are hearty with plenty of food to split in half. Thank you!“

“Update 8/25/2025:

I wanted to make an update since some things have changed since I initially wrote my first review. This is still easily one of my top three Mediterranean spots in the area. The flavors are always on point, the portions are generous, and the quality has stayed consistent over time. One thing that has changed, though, is the gradual price increase. The chicken kabob plate, which comes with hummus, pita, rice, and salad, used to be about $17 but is now closer to $20 or more. I feel a little conflicted because for the taste and portion size it still feels worth it. At the same time, if you are bringing a date or ordering for more than one person you should expect to spend a bit more than you might anticipate.“

“My family and I frequent a lot of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern restaurants, whether it's a sit down restaurant or takeout--and Sahara might just be the best we've ever had!

We heard good things about Sahara and decided to check it out yesterday; and it exceeded expectations.

I had the beef kebab plate, while my mom and brother had the chicken kebab plate. We loved how they had complimentary snacks (olives, cheese, and cucumber) and also that the plate came with either soup or salad. The meat dishes were so flavorful and honestly the best we've had at any restaurant. They gave a lot of meat too; 8 pieces for each dish. The baba ghanoush was also great.

Last but not least, Mary, our server, was extremely pleasant and attentive. We can't wait to go back!“

“My tummy is so full and happy. The staff was so very friendly (cashier). Definitely coming back!“

“The food es excelente!! My first time buying there, definitely worth it!!“

“Excelente servicio y la comida deliciosa …. Pasamos un rato bastante agradable. Gracias 🙏🏻“

“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.“

“The food was really good, and the prices for decent. When we got there, it was only my friend and I. Though as the day progressed a lot of people came and went. The service was excellent and the server as well as what I think could have been the owner or the manager keep coming and asking if there was anything that we needed. I would definitely recommend this place to go and eat.“

“Been getting food from here for a while now and always is on point. Kind of a bummer they don't have filet mignon meat option like their other location, but not a disappointment as the the steak is tender and flavorful as well. You can substitute the salad for potatoes. Not sure if they have an option where it is not spicy, but that is how I get it. Also, their green sauce is a must to add to your rice and protein you get. They are not open on weekends so you'd need to make time during the week and on the early side as that is the only time they are open. Parking is at the Commerce Commons. It's kind of like a food court at your local Shopping Mall. The staff here are always welcoming and nice.“

“The best food in Santa Clarita“

“Good food. Good portion. Highly recommended!“

“my favorite marinade and cucumber salad. like Pico de galli but with cucumber🤌“

“The best food, people and everything is amazing 🤩“

“My wife and I realized that we had not thought to stop here in quite a while and so we stopped for lunch today and we were immediately reminded why we like the food here so much. I like the chicken kabob wrap and my wife typically gets the chicken bowl. The staff is friendly and helpful and the food is consistently good. We will definitely have to keep the Hummus Factory on our regular list of places to visit for lunch and dinner. A photo of the chicken bowl shows just how appetizing it looks.“

“Ordered the breakfast burrito and cold brew and it was delicious. Had to order an extra side of the chipotle sauce that was in it because it was so good. We also had the veggie quiche and it was also amazing. Great atmosphere and great food.“

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

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

“Great food at a reasonable price. My favorite items are salmon kabob, beef lula kabob, Israel. It was a great New Year Eve dinner.“

“I love this place....all their dishes are delicious....if you haven't tried it....please do....there's never a day that the lines are out the door....speaks volumes!!!! The owner is a wonderful man....George is his name. So next time you see him call him by his name and you'll see for yourself.... :-)“

“I just got a bowl at the new spot by USC. Juicy chicken, nice fluffy rice, The chipotle sauces are tasty and service was fast. I'll get another bowl for sure.“

“Excellent food with the cutest decor ❤️❤️❤️ not ganna lie, I first saw the store and thought I’m ganna go in and get some lemon ice cream of some sorts 🤣 and then I go inside and was like what’s this place?🤣I we end up getting a gyro and some fries, very yummy!“

“Really fresh, healthy food and a very friendly staff.“
