26 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near San Dimas

“I was referred this hidden gem by a friend to try their bakery, namely the “Laham be ajeen” aka (Safiha) but I was tempted to try their spinach pies, which turned out to be a great idea. Family enjoyed the pies more than the famous bakeries of Brookhurst of Anaheim. I have bought some Baraze’ too but unfortunately they seemed to have been slightly under-cooked so I had to give them a little bit of toasting. Maybe it’s a personal choice of mine to have sesame on baraze’ cookies a bit darker and more toasty.
Their cooking menu is good. I would order in advance.
In the small grocery section, I was surprised to find some middle eastern delicacies at a decent price such as the coveted brown truffles in brine. I filled up 😎

While they have a couple of tables, I didn’t feel it was suitable to sit. The view is the parking lot and other businesses.“

“They used to be open later which really helped the college students but now closes like a typical restaurant which is unfortunate because I haven't got to go but I like this salad you can create whatever toppings and I get falafel and all the vegan sauce is obsessed with the baba ganoush and the green sauce. If I could I eat a salad everyday for lunch so good for you!! Ty friendly staff for doing all that hard work n feeding azusa healthy !! U rock“

“We ordered the Skewers Mixed Grill (Mshakkal) from Aladdin Jr Restaurant and Cafe in Covina through DoorDash and it was absolutely delicious. The portion size is incredible — it says it serves 2–3 people, but honestly it easily fed four of us with leftovers. Everything was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor.
The meats were tender, juicy, and well-seasoned, and the variety in the mixed grill makes it perfect for sharing. The rice and sides complemented the skewers really well and everything tasted fresh and authentic.
Another thing we really appreciated was the packaging. Our order arrived neatly packed and still warm, which makes such a difference when ordering delivery.
We’ve ordered from here multiple times and they’re consistently good, and the portions always leave us with leftovers for the next day (which taste just as great!).
The only thing we wish is that they offered their own delivery, because we would definitely order even more often. But even through DoorDash, it’s totally worth it.
If you're looking for flavorful Mediterranean food, generous portions, and reliable quality, Aladdin Jr is a great choice. Highly recommend the Mixed Grill!“

“Came here with my family and it was unbelievably delicious, the owner and son were very nice and generous, they are a family owned business and just opened up, I live near the area and was looking for something delicious and different and they definitely didn’t disappoint, I recommend this place for you and your family it’s located in Glendora California and most definitely stands out with beauty, try it ONCE AND YOUR HOOKED!!!!!!!“

“very very good.. the animal style fries or crazy style.. I forgot lol.. are the best ever.. you have to try them.. I recommend 👌“

“This is an amazing little Mediterranean joint. The food was some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve had in the area. I ordered the chicken Shawarma wrap combo. The chicken Shawarma was served in the traditional way and I haven’t tasted anything better. The hummus was fresh and that’s the best way to have it. I am definitely going back again!“

“The word is out! I honestly can say that Lemon Mint is the hottest restaurant in the SGV for excellent Mediterranean cuisine and hookah. I’ve had friends from Glendale to Orange County hearing great things about Lemon Mint and I tell them the hype is real. The cuisine is fresh and authentic. The hookah is the cherry on top to a relaxed outdoor environment. Seating is limited so plan ahead to get a great seat. For you that love hookah, we always have the “Love 66”.
Ownership of this great establishment is always on sight making sure every customer is happy and taken care of. Thank you Sam for bringing such a great restaurant to Glendora.“

“BEST MEDITERRANEAN IN LA (technically Glendora…)
Soooo good omg!! Haven’t had food like this since I was in Athens. The meat is such high quality, just incredible. Vegetables are fresh, bread is soft and handmade - zaatar is fantastic. Excellent prices as well - got the three kebab combo plate, the beef Lula amaaaazing. Chicken and beef kebab good as well but that one was a standout.
And the baklava - wow the pistachio is so fresh and flavorful ugh.
Clean dining room and a few seats in a small patio (next to the parking lot) so not super great date vibe or something….but the food is amazing!“

“I’m picky and it was excellent lots of food on your plate. You could even share one meal with two people if there’s a lot that comes with it very hearty meal extremely well seasoned very good. Service prices are good as well. Clean atmosphere really comfortable chairs overall I give five stars all the way around“

“this is some of the best authentic Mediterranean food in Glendora.

I ordered the beef shawarma and chicken kabob plate with seasoned rice, fresh Mediterranean salad, warm pita bread, and their garlic sauce and hummus. Everything was bomb, flavorful, fresh, and cooked perfectly. The beef shawarma was tender and packed flavor, the chicken kabob was juicy with the perfect char, and the garlic sauce took everything to another level.

What impressed me just as much as the food was the service. Friendly, welcoming, and genuinely appreciative of their customers.

We need to do a better job supporting small businesses like this. Get out of your routine, skip the chains for a night, and go experience some of the best authentic Mediterranean food Glendora has to offer.

Thank me later. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Came here during the Glendora Village Holiday Stroll. It was so yummy! We tried the beef and chicken crepe sandwiches with garlic sauce and pesto. Everyone in our party loved what they ordered, even the decaf was amazing! 💓 great, friendly customer service also. Highly recommend!“

“I love how tasty their food is. I had the Lafta wrap and a Kafta plate. The way I devoured it all was insane. The flavors were great, the food was fresh, and the restaurant is kept very clean and tidy. The bread in unreal and tastes so good from their oven. I absolutely loved this place and I loo forward to coming back!

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp right by the entrance!“

“In love with this restaurant 🤤🤤🤤“

“Garden Salad and request to add the grilled salmon.“

“great place, love the fresh vegetables“

“This restaurant is absolutely phenomenal. The atmosphere is warm and friendly which is evident from all interactions with every staff member. The food and service are excellent in every sense of the word. The bread and baklava were made fresh! The Turkish Delights were phenomenal. The owner and staff went to great lengths to make us feel comfortable and welcome, explaining the menu items in detail. We are so excited to have come across this gem!!! It is the type of culinary and cultural experience that my husband and I treasure. We will be coming again soon, both with and without friends! We can’t wait to try some of the items on the patio grill. :)“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Best Mediterranean food I’ve had in a very long time.“

“My family stumbled across Aladdin yesterday tucked away by Trader Joe’s. The shop is slightly run down but we were welcomed in by Wally who treated us like his most beloved children who he needed to feed with love and care. We had excellent menu suggestions and when we ordered the empanadas he insisted we try all the kinds and threw in an extra. The beef and chicken empanadas were the clear winners with the beef delicately spiced. My daughter had the falafel which was crispy and delicious. My husband I both had the chicken kebabs which had been long-marinated and came out golden and perfectly cooked. Wally didn’t want us to miss the chicken shawarma so he piled some of that on our meals, as well. Also tender and golden and perfect. Each meal came with exquisitely creamy homemade hummus and basmati rice. The grilled peppers were charred and smoky and like something out of the most expensive Middle Eastern restaurant you’ve ever eaten at. I’d go back just for those. I ordered the tzatziki as one of my sides and it was cool, creamy and full of dill and crispy cucumber. The pita was excellent on the side. I won’t forget this restaurant visit for a long time. I left well fed with the excellent food, but even more so feeling like I’d just been fed by an old friend.“

“Great food and great service!!“

“Love Kebab G Stop! I moved to the area from central LA and am so happy I found a Mediterranean spot that is up there with the best! Love the chicken kebabs, the rice is very tasty and the spicy hummus is creamy and smooth! Def my go-to spot!“

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

“I've been searching for really good stuffed grape leaves since a former co-worker brought some of her home made dolma at work about 8 years ago... I've had some hits (mostly misses), but none compared to the one she made... now this... the search is over. Happy palate!😊 It's my first time here. What can I say? As soon as I entered the place, I can smell good things baking and cooking. The owner showed me trays of fresh baked pastries/pies (spinach, meat & cheese) as he took them out straight from the oven. Everything looked delicious. The service was great. I ordered to go and the owner gave me a sample of the Cheese Burak (Cheese Pie) to eat on the go. I started driving off and as soon as I took my first bite I regretted immediately why I did not order that.Everything we ordered were so flavorful and delicious. They also have the best Hummus. So I will definitely go back to this place. 😊“

“Great food , and fair prices. The best Mediterranean food I had in the inland empire. it’s located in the new part of Claremont Village.“

“We ordered the spicy hummus, garlic fries, beef shawarma, babakenush?, and cauliflower. My friend saw the baclava and had to try it. So we started with desser. The pistachio was very crispy and chewy and was my friends favorite. The walnut was sweet and chewy which was my favorite. Everything was absolutely delicious! The spicy hummus had a little kick at the beginning but as we ate we didn't taste the kick anymore. The cauliflower is lightly fried and so freaking delicious! I ate it by itself or with some hummus. My friend ate it with the babakanush and some cauliflower sauce and was in love. I tried her babakanush. I don't like eggplant but this was really delicious! Had a lovely garlic flavor that was slightly addicting. The garlic fries was just fries sprinkled with garlic powder but dipped it in the hummus and it was good. The pitas were really good too. I could've eaten more if I wasn't so full. But the beef shawarma was freaking AMAZING!!!!! We both said this was the best Mediterranean food we've ever had. I said no tomatoes to my beef shawarma which I'm glad I did. The flavor was absolutely amazing without it. Definitely 10/10 no complaints at all. And service was awesome too! So kind, friendly, and funny. I can't wait to come back again!“

“Went yesterday with my Daughters and can I say the food was so amazing. It was everything I hoped it to be. We came all the way from L. A and it was worth the drive. We will definitely be back! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“
