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“

“comida deliciosa servicio bueno precios buenos solo que últimamente que hemos ido esta serrado y bien temprano ya 3 veces que hemos ido y es temprano y esta cerrado estaba otra familia afuera también esperando deberían cambiar el horario a si uno no se da la manejada asta aya“

“I’ve been coming to Corner Kebab literally since shortly after it opened…roughly 25 years!
We immediately clicked with the owner and have been so happy to see his continued growth, success and stability! He is always right there, speaking to and working with customers and is ALWAYS friendly!

Unexpected to find this kind and quality of Mediterranean in this corner of the valley, no matter where we are, we find a way to come by to enjoy lunch or dinner…always a treat!

The salads and sides are always super fresh and served plentiful, the protein/mains are made to order and always served in an extremely timely and professional manner…but this isn’t fast food at all!

The ambiance is super clean, fresh and friendly, the owner and his team and happy to see you, happy to accommodate you and want to see you enjoy a (huge) meal.

The lentil soup is always hot and authentic, the hummus is creamy and delicious, the lavash and pita served warm and soft. The rice always tastes sooo fantastic, cooked perfectly and seasoned lightly. The protein is always cooked ‘just right’ and the food presentation and service are literally second to none…EVERY time! The food quality and consistency is absolutely amazing, always good, fresh and served hot!

I hope to keep coming back another 25 years, you MUST go and enjoy! I can’t speak highly enough about Corner Kebab“

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

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

“Aviad Yalin, it was great to talk to you today about Haifa. You are doing something really special. As you were grounded in the best in Haifa Isreal. Perhaps the best in all of Israel. Avi Cue will become a regular stop on our trips to LA. God bless and Kind Regards... Scott“

“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“

“The perfect meal to break my daily intermittent keto fast. I eat the salad bowls, sub grilled veg for the hummus and I'm relatively carb free. Carbs from the plants but no processed or concentrated carbs from sugar, seeds or beans. Fresh flavorful ingredients, rich flavors and very satisfying. Nice self serve sauce bar with seasoned yogurt, a dill ranch and good hot sauce similar to a mild harissa. Fills me up, satisfies me and then start the timer on the next 24 hrs.“

“I stumbled upon this location completely by chance and I am so grateful I did! The overall standards here are exceptionally high, boasting a remarkably flawless presentation and a truly comforting ambiance. It is an absolutely phenomenal destination that undoubtedly deserves top marks from me.“

“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“

“To be honest, Luna Grill was somewhere in the middle for me. I didn’t have a bad experience, but I also didn’t leave feeling particularly impressed. The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly, and the service was quick, which I always appreciate.

The food was decent and tasted fresh, but nothing really stood out. Everything was prepared well enough, yet I never had that moment where I thought, “I can’t wait to order this again.” The portions were reasonable, the ingredients seemed good quality, and the menu offers plenty of healthy options, especially if you’re looking for Mediterranean food.

What makes this a difficult review is that there wasn’t anything wrong with my visit. The meal was perfectly acceptable, and I can understand why many people enjoy this place. At the same time, with so many restaurants in Los Angeles competing for attention, it’s hard for me to say that Luna Grill would be my first choice.

Overall, it’s a solid restaurant that does a lot of things right. If you’re in the area and want a quick Mediterranean meal, it’s worth trying. My experience was neither disappointing nor memorable—just a decent meal served by friendly people in a comfortable environment.“

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

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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!“

“In love with this restaurant 🤤🤤🤤“

“I ordered catering for 60 people, delivered. The food arrived on time, hot, and delicious at a fair price. The employee we spoke with were all polite and helpful. We sampled greek food at a few other spots around Santa Clarita prior to placing our order and the Kebab Shop was not only more affordable than other options but was hands down better food. My only suggestion is that they add cucumber yogurt to their offerings. Our wedding was a total success and we're super grateful for the Kebab Shop. Thank you!!!!“

“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👍👍“

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

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

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

“I ordered a Shawarma sandwich for my son and asked for fries inside. The lady asked the owner if he can make that. The owner sent a complimentary fries to my son. The food is good and the place is clean. As a previous Mediterranean restaurant owner I recommend this place.“

“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.“

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

“Whoa 😳!!! This place is Amazing! The food is fresh and service was outstanding. We had The San Diego Grill Wrap and Saffron Chicken Plate. Both were 🔥🔥🔥 and Eduardo's recommendations were spot on.
Definitely will be back!“

“Very nice meals. Good luck!“

“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“

“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!!!“

“Always fresh and filling!“

“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.“

“This spot is one of my go-tos when I want something quick but still really good. Everything tastes fresh, portions are solid, and the setup makes it easy to get exactly what you want. Jay stood out with his service—he was welcoming, patient, and just made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. It’s always nice when someone like Jay makes you feel appreciated as a customer. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to.“

“Was craving some Armenian barbecue and happened to be in Sylmar thought I’d try this local spot out for the first time. Glad I stopped by Hovo recommended me the Lule kabob plate and it was truly delicious, very fresh. I highly recommend this spot if you want some Good barbecue.“

“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.“

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

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

“Bacari Sherman Oaks was the most incredible dining experience I have had in a very long time. It was more than just great food. The staff at Sherman Oaks created a complete experience with ambiance, fantastic service, and creative dishes to choose from.

The ambiance is energetic yet relaxed, and the Mediterranean-inspired small plates are incredibly creative and fun to share. Every dish we tried was outstanding. Our server, I believe her name was Mallery, was absolutely fantastic. Her warmth, enthusiasm, and attention to detail elevated an already amazing meal into something truly special.

Congratulations to the Bacari team for building something so unique. Bacari delivers an experience well beyond great food. I will enthusiastically recommend Bacari to everyone I know who visits Los Angeles, and I'll definitely be back when I'm in town.

Wishing the entire Bacari family continued success!“

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

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

“Nice food, cooperative staff“

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

“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!“

“As a realtor, my days are often long and nonstop, so having something quick, delicious, and easy to prepare at home is a lifesaver. We always buy the frozen Khinkali from Gev’s Kitchen, and they never disappoint!

They’re perfect for serving guests, taste amazing, and are so simple to cook after a busy day of showing homes to clients. Truly one of our favorite go-to meals. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Beautiful place“

“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“

“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.“

“Most delicious food you can ask for“

“I've been going here for over 20 years. Great food, friendly staff. You won't believe the amazing dishes that come out of that kitchen. Don't let the name fool you, I have never had a burger here, my favorite dish... The t-bone steak. Highly recommend!“
