50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near San Fernando

“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!“

“The kebab here are delicious. I was finally able to try this place for lunch and it did not disappoint. The staff were very friendly and polite with us. My wife and I came here after her doctor appointment because it's in the same plaza.

My wife got the chicken kebab plate with hummus and macaroni. I got the beef lule kebab plate with Shirazi and French fries. They make it fresh right when you order so it can take a couple of minutes. We are our food inside of the place so they brought our dish out to us. They also give complimentary lentil soup for my wife. We both really like how seasoned the chicken and beef lule kebab were. We'll be sure to come back again to try another dish.“

“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!“

“Stopped in here today and glad we did. This is a very comfortable open air patio restaurant with outstanding food.

My wife had the chicken kabob plate and I had the beef plate. They were very tasty. Even the rice was very flavorful. My favorite was the beef shish kabob. It was tender with really good flavor.

The staff was friendly and helpful.

Overall a great experience!“

“What a Great Find! First time there and Junior took time to explain the whole menu to us. He also prepared the Delicious meal! We tried the chicken kabob, Shawarama, rice, Mediterranean salad, and hummus with pita bread. Fantastic meal!!! We also watched him prepare a Wrap which was Huge. We definitely be back!!! This great little place is located in the CVS shopping center on Hollywood Way and Verdugo.“

“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.“

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

Shout out to Jasmine.

“Polecam ............. :)“

“Delicious sandwiches/wraps. My group tried the bens way gyro and the chicken delight. She made the meal as fast as she could and they turned out great. The large pita and hummus wasnt available at the time, so she made the medium. The pitas and hummus were top notch. Competitive pricing for sandwiches of this quality in the area.“

“Excellent food. Really great lamb chops. Yum. And really yummy homemade desserts.“

“They have great quality products and they are very friendly“

“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.“

“Always fresh and filling!“

“A wonderful place! We ordered takeout for dinner, and everything was top-notch. The portions were generous, the food was delicious, and the service was great. The menu variety was impressive, with something for everyone. The prices are justified by the quality, and we were very satisfied. It’s a great spot to enjoy a good meal. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Came on a Saturday to enjoy Mediterranean BBQ. Staff was amicable, a little slow in serving and taking orders and came to our table with someone else's order. I would highly recommend they do a number system (assign table number to customers for staff to reduce confusion). It was decent food, spices and grilled veggies were good. Chicken was a little thick and hard to cook all the way through those meats. Steak was a bit dry. Seasoned fries and hummus, Pita bread was good. Ambiance was settle, no music or noises. A little pricy but portions are good. Clean establishment. Parking can be a little tight in the parking lot.“

“ABSOLUTE GEM. We were lucky enough to find Cafe Elegante after a long travel day. Was just dumb luck that we found it but BOY did they delivery.

The staff were unimaginably kind to our weary travelers and provided a truly memorable dinner experience. The soltani and everything else) was AMAZING.

We'll be back many many times...“

“The food and service was excellent and it also has good hookah!“

“This is the first time I have ever been to one of the Bacari locations. This one, in Sherman Oaks, is excellent. My daughter, Lauren, picked this restaurant. I was surprised, because Lauren usually picks out more expensive restaurants.

Bacari is a tapas type restaurant. The prices are reasonable because the portions, and the plates, are small. They recommended ordering three plates per person.

We ordered one plate for each of us and a Margarita pizza to share. The pizza was excellent. I had the Bacari burger. It was amazing. My wife had sea bass, and our daughter had a filet. We all enjoyed our meals.

Service was prompt, friendly, and efficient. In this restaurant, they bring out each plate as it's ready. That encourages people to share and socialize.

The restaurant was quite noisy inside. They have a nice little courtyard with outdoor seating. It was slightly less noisy in the outdoor courtyard.

For people who want to lose weight and still have delicious meals, I recommend Bacari Sherman Oaks.“

“DELICIOUS 😋HEALTHY FOOD AND VERY NICE AND FRIENDLYCUSTOMER SERVICE .“

“Such a wonderful vegan oasis in the San Fernando Valley! As locals know vegan offerings in the valley are limited compared with the rest of the city. I am so happy that I found this place I will be coming here often! Great food and atmosphere all around!“

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

“Most delicious food you can ask for“

“Delicious love coming here“

“Very nice meals. Good luck!“

“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!“

“Absolutely amazing! Went here for Mother’s Day and had the lamb combo. I love lamb and this was delicious with a great portion. Had it a couple weeks later with some beef and also amazing. I’ve been eating Mediterranean food since a kid and this is definitely my go to spot now. The price and portions and quality are the absolute best! Highly recommend :)“

“Food is really good, good prices, lot of food“

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

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

“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.“

“Wooooowwww such a gem of a find! I was hungry looking for a kebab and came across A&V. The warmth and hospitality I encountered were when walking in from A&V was amazing! They explained everything patiently when I asked what to order.

I ended up selecting a chicken shawarma plate and soup and wooooow it was the best chicken shawarma I’ve had in SoCal and I’ve tried a loooot of shwarma places. The chicken was cooked fresh over a charcoal grill infusing it with so much smoke and flavor only a charbroiled cooker can have.

The combination of everything in the soft lavash was sooooo delicious and super generous in terms of portions! I could only eat half of it. Another main highlight are the potatoes! While most kebab places just give fries, A&V hand cut their fires and infused them with garlic oil and cilantro which paired super well with the shwarma.

I would whole heartedly again here again for a shwarma fix.

Even paired it with an Armenian tarragon soda to wash down the deliciousness, amazing!“

“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“

“Serra is amazing! and so is her food!“

“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!!!“

“Beautiful place“

“Lemón Zëst is an absolute gem! It's the perfect spot for a satisfying meal that leaves you feeling energized. The menu offers a wonderful variety of light yet flavorful dishes that are ideal for any time of day. What truly sets this place apart is the delicious food that tastes so fresh and authentic. The interior is bright and inviting, with cute lemon-themed decor that gives it a cheerful and refreshing vibe, making it a great place to relax and enjoy your meal. Parking is super convenient, with a lot just around the corner, making it easy to access. If you prefer, there’s also metered parking available right out front, which is great for a quick visit. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual bite or a more leisurely dining experience, Lemón Zëst provides a nice and enjoyable atmosphere. I highly recommend giving it a try!“

“Delicious dishes! Everything is recommended! But if you twist my arm, I'd say try the beef or chicken shawarma sandwich.“

“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.“

“Ok place .. food is not so great.. the hummus is fine .. except of that the rest is really so so .. I’ve eaten in a better places ..but again it a matter of taste .. they still got for me 5 starts as they are a local business and I support their efforts to hire local people.. but they need to improve the service and the quality of the food..“

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

“Best burgers in LA... come here at least once a month“

“Been going here since I was in middle school

They have the friendliest staff. It's run by a lovely Armenian family

They always have great hospitality service and a smile. I also love seeing Salvadoran soda available as a fellow Salvi ??

They used to do onion rings back in the day but they're not on the menu. I wonder what happened because I used to love them

But the food here is straight up. Amazing! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but what introduced me to this place was their burgers which are just incredible. I just got one after so long and I just couldn't help but notice that it looks like the Real life version of the Krabby Patty

Love to see this place is still going strong“

“We were looking for a quick bite before an event and happened to spot this cozy little place. We hadn’t read any reviews and had no idea what to expect, but it turned out to be a great find! The couple who runs it was warm and welcoming. I ordered the chicken shawarma sandwich combo—so good! The chicken was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. I really enjoyed it, and I’ll definitely be coming back to try more from the menu next time I’m in the area.

Also, I just have to say—the woman who owns the place has an awesome haircut and color! I meant to compliment her in person, but forgot, so I’m writing it here in case she sees this.“

“After the 4th restaurant in Tujunga failed to make good Shawarma, I thought I would have to drive all the way to Glendale for the only good Shawarma I know, that I get from a food truck. I didn't know Shawarma House existed until today. The dine in place is nice and spacious, the service was kind, and for the first time in Tujunga that I know of, this a restaurant that didn't serve dry wraps with no garnishes.“

“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 !!“

“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“

“The food is absolutely delicious, whether you’re enjoying an appetizer or a main course—everything is packed with flavor. The hookah is top-notch, smooth, and enjoyable. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure you have a great time. And the weekend live music adds such a fun and lively atmosphere! Highly recommend this place for a fantastic night out.“
