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!“

“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“

“Very good food Fresh and healthy Owner is always there With a nice smile !“

“my boyfriend and I came here for the first time and LOVED IT! I’m middle eastern and was drooooooling over the wagyu shawarma. I was on the fence about getting the hummus side and ultimately decided against it bc I wasn’t sure how much food I wanted - but then 5 minutes later the lovely man working ( I didn’t get his name but he had tunnels ) very very kindly brought out a small side of hummus for us to try and it was bomb! the fries also fantastic and only $5! i’m pretty sure they make the ketchup because it was delicious. next time i’ll be getting the full side of hummus and adding a side of hot sauce. one of my new favorite spots“

“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“

“Have gotten takeout from here a number of times. Never disappointed. Flavorful chicken that's nice and tender, ingredients always seem fresh.
All of the sauces are very tasty and they are very generous with them. The chicken plate and The Get Greeky bowl are, so far, my favorites. Pricing is fair compared to some other places.
Staff is friendly and attentive.“

“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!“

“Coffee was delicious! And another time wine was awesome! Michal was attending to us and he was polite and helpful!“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“In love with this restaurant 🤤🤤🤤“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Cafe Elegante in Burbank is truly a hidden gem and one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with warm hospitality and outstanding customer service that made me feel right at home.

The food was absolutely incredible. The chicken dishes were perfectly seasoned, tender, juicy, and packed with flavor in every bite. The beef was equally impressive—cooked to perfection, rich, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. You can genuinely tell that great care and attention go into every dish that comes out of the kitchen.

What really stood out were the mouthwatering appetizers. Every appetizer we ordered was fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. They were the perfect way to start the meal and left us excited for the main courses. Each bite showcased the quality ingredients and passion that Cafe Elegante puts into its menu.

The atmosphere was welcoming, clean, and comfortable, making it a wonderful place to enjoy a meal with family and friends. Between the exceptional food, generous portions, and attentive service, Cafe Elegante exceeded all expectations.

If you're looking for delicious chicken, flavorful beef dishes, unforgettable appetizers, and a dining experience that leaves you smiling, Cafe Elegante in Burbank is a must-visit. I cannot wait to return and try more of their amazing menu!“

“If you haven't been to The Kebab House in Santa Clarita yet, you are missing out!
I got the chicken wrap, and it was massive—seriously loaded with vibrant, freshly grilled ingredients like pickled red cabbage, greens, and even crisp fries tucked right inside that perfectly charred wrap. Next level unique flavours I had ever experienced in a food wrap. Every bite was packed with unbelievable flavor, especially when paired with their delicious side dips and sauces.
As if the wrap wasn't enough, the truffle fries were top-tier—crispy, hot, and generously tossed with parmesan and fresh herbs. The portion sizes overall are super generous, so you definitely leave full and happy.
The atmosphere inside was welcoming and clean, and since it wasn't overly crowded when we visited, we were able to grab a table right away without any wait. Bathrooms were clean as well.
The staff were warm, friendly, and made sure our food came out steaming hot and fresh. And made it to my preference (as I requested no tomatoes in the wrap).

10/10 recommendation! I already can't wait to go back.“

“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👍👍“

“Very nice meals. Good luck!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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! 🙌“

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

“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“

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

“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“

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

“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“

“Always fresh and filling!“

“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!“

“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.“

“We just moved in the neighborhood and this place is easily my new favorite.

I got the chicken delight (summer delight with chicken) and I definitely want to try all their sandwiches.

The staff is genuinely warm and friendly too. Definitely want to come back as much as possible.“

“Highly recommend! Cosmo Palace has easily become our go to spot. Amazing food, great atmosphere, nothing short of an amazing time. Must try“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

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

“I had the pleasure of trying out this food truck today when I was at the Northridge Farmer Market. They were parked toward the back but I been craving some Kebabs so today was the perfect time to get some. I looked at their menu first and knew I was going to go with the Beef Shish Kebab plate. I didn't have to order at the truck, one of the lady working walked out of the truck to take my other. I asked if I could sub out the hummus and they allowed me to get extra shirazi salad which is my favorite. They said it would take about ten minutes to make.

The key to eating kebab is that you have to eat it when it comes out from the grill and hot. If you eat it after it gets cold then it won't taste great. My food took about the exact time they said it would and I took it home to eat since I live close. The food is on the pricer end compared to other things but I'll say it's worth it.

The thought the Shish Kebab was kind of overcooked or it could be that when it sat in the box while I was driving home, it cooked some more. Beside that I thought my plate was delicious. The pita bread was soft, the shirazi salad was amazing and they give you a decent amount of rice with kebab. They also give you a little mint as well after you finish your food. I would come back to this truck again and maybe try another dish when I have a chance.“

“Nice food, cooperative staff“

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

“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 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!“

“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.“

“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.“
