50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Stanton

“The BEST pita chips and hummus!“

“I'm so used to getting rice that is room temperature at best. So I ordered the chicken shawarma rice bowl, and the first thing I notice is the rice is warm . . . like really warm. I also have a fear of really hot spicy food because it makes me sick. No problem here - the chicken was so delicious, and not "hot" spicy at all. Just a really great flavor. My friend ordered the same, and her reaction was the same. Great flavor, so tasty! The service was great too! But the very best part was the size of the serving - it was such a generous serving, I had to ask for a to-go container, and enjoyed it again later that day. The restaurant was light, bright and clean. I totally recommend this restaurant.“

“The best place to try Bosnian food! I can’t pick one favorite, from cevapi to pizza to pita , this food taste like homemade. All employees are nice and friendly, but the owner is an amazing human being, so humble and approachable, honest and relatable, love chatting with him every time we visit Cali, which is usually 2-3 times a year and we make sure we eat lunch and dinner at Sofra Urbana every day. See you soon! Can’t wait for the most delicious Bosnian food on the west side of the United States.“

Shoutout Ivan, Chris, Sergio, Ernesto.“

“My family went out and had a great experience. I had a chicken shawarma plate and it tasted very good. The portions are a decent size and we have leftovers for tomorrow. We also had walnut baclava and it was very good. Not only was the food fantastic but the atmosphere was also great. The owner was very nice and took care of our needs during our visit. Definitely would recommend this place.“

“What a treat to find this place! My husband and I both had the falafel pita pockets... they were large enough that we could have shared! The falafel was cooked to perfection. The potatoes were excellent and the lentil soup was delicious, very flavorful. Our waiter was very attentive and the ambience was delightful... really enjoyed the tastefully vibrant decor. Will return!“

“Absolutely amazing experience!
The soup, the meatballs, the kebabs — everything was delicious! The flavors truly reminded me of authentic home-style Turkish food from the Aegean coast. The staff and servers were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and even the owner was kind and attentive.
Great food, great people, and a warm atmosphere — I’ll definitely be coming back again.
Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves real Turkish cuisine! 🇹🇷❤️“

“I’ve been showing up this CAVA since it opened up with my coworkers, and it’s been amazing! The wait times are super short, service is always great (thank you Reyna & Catherine for always going the extra mile & even remembering our orders), and the food is amazing! The only thing I would add is maybe some extra shade for the outdoor seating area and opening up the side door so that we can re-enter. Overall, great place for lunch - thank you again to all the workers that make this place reliable and fun :-)“

“Alas, a local place with unique charm, expert staff and a creative menu. We will be back often.“

“I got the strawberry banana shake with plant based protein and a couple add-ons (I forgot what they were) and a side of electrolytes before I went to the gym. Everything was great and I'd go back without question, because it's one of very few health conscious smoothie places on Google maps that tends to my high cholesterol and high blood pressure.“

“This is a food truck with several tables available if you want to eat there or you can take the food to go. The food is fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful. I LOVE this place.“

“SO good! Highly recommend the ground beef hawawshy & bbq chicken american savory. We devoured ours.“

“Made a last minute decision stop at this tiny place (after an appointment at Kaiser down the street) and was VERY pleasantly surprised! It was DELICIOUS! The air-fried falafel was UNIQUE and perfectly crunchy on the outside! It's a MUST try and I'll definitely be back.“

“generous portions and very patient and kind staff! and the food is great too!“

“My wife and I ordered the Mediterranean Bowls. I ordered the chicken schwarma and she ordered the chicken Kabob. Staff was very friendly and even offered us Turkish Tea to taste when we were done with our food. We're not from the area but would definitely eat here again when we're back in the area.“

“Awesome food and great service. Atmosphere is what one would expect a strip mall food joint to be. Garlic paste seemed to be house made but the harissa seemed to be sambal oulek (an Asian chili sauce) everything else is really really good, especially the rice.“

“This has become my favorite food!
Very healthy and wholesome.
Service is exceptional and owner very kind. I got a complementary baklava piece because I kept eyeing it and kind owner noticed. Thank you Pom & Olive for your kind gesture. May God bless you with many more years of great food and service. Amen.“

“Food is consistently good, service is great, had the chicken kebab and Barramundi plate, both were excellent. Will be back!“

“I like the food and the service when I sit in. I have ordered from the app for pick up a few times which is really convenient! However, each time I order a greens and grains bowl, it seems like a much smaller amount of food compared to when I walk in and ask for the same ingredients at the counter. I’m still hungry after eating the pick-up bowl. I’d prefer if they added more greens and grains at the bottom. Thanks!“

“we are from Alaska so we maybe fresh fish snobs... but this was absolutely delish, fast, and priced great. highly recommend so glad we stumbled upon ot!“

“Tried this gem for the first time today! Fall off the bone chicken and salmon Alfredo with fresh vegetables was delicious. The staff was friendly and gracious. Definitely a new favorite!“

“Food was so good we ate here on our 7 day vacation in California, we drove to San Diego and drove back just to get more. 10/10 will return back when I come California again inshallah. The grill tomato with onion is so good and the meat cooked very good. Great service too, very kind staff.

Only downside is the outdated seats and tables

May Allah bless this business , Ameen ??

Dietary restrictions: Mediterranean Food is best for people with health problems , they serve low sodium food with everything cooked with olive oil instead of vegetable oil, very healthy!“

“🥰 love the salmon plate!!!“

“Yala Kabab Restaurant is a standout gem for lovers of Levantine cuisine—especially for those seeking authentic Mandi, Mansaf, kebabs, and mezze served with warmth and tradition. The portions are hearty, flavor consistent, and prices family-friendly. While service flow and space may feel informal at times, the overall experience remains elevated by quality food and genuine hospitality.“

“I highly recommend that you stop to eat here whenever you can. Amazing five star food. Staff is amazing, welcoming and friendly and helpful. Amazingly clean restaurant too. You will not be disappointed unless you pass them by and don't stop in.“

“The best Mediterranean food in the area and it shows. You will not come across this restaurant randomly since it's so out of the way, you have to come look for it, and the fact that there are plenty of people who do speaks to how good it is. The potatoes are good, the gyro is good, all is good and has decent pricing.“

“Came here for a quick bite. Ordered two bowls, Daniel was very helpful and offered us his opinion on what was good. Got half and half chicken shawarma and lemon chicken. Both tasty, I got a little of each but it’s unlimited topping. Sauces were good if you like tahini. Signed up for their rewards and already got a free lemonade.“

“Highly recommend this amazing and beautiful place to hangout and eat with friends or family !! Food is very filling and delicious !! Don’t forget to try out their aguas frescas flavors mango/pineapple and cucumber lime!! Very friendly service and clean environment! Don’t be shy ! Me and my boyfriend will be back soon!“

“Great food! Great service! This is one of the best places for lunch in Irvine!“

“Great ambiance and amazing food. I had a lot of food… falafel, spicy hummus, kafta kabob, tzatziki loaded with veggies, cheese balls, and baklava. All so delicious and fresh. I even loved the fresh pita and dipping sauce that was complimentary. From the manager and many servers, everyone was pleasant and friendly throughout my time there. I went during happy hour so the specials were great during that time. I’m definitely returning to this Mediterranean restaurant for sure. I loved it.“

“Seriously the absolute BEST Shawarma I’ve tasted! I got the 24” mix variety and loved being able to try both. Pro tip: Order next time you have friends/family over since they’re already cut and packaged perfectly. That’s what I’ll be doing ;)“

“First time visiting TKS with the family and they did not disappoint. Brian helped us with our order, great service from him and the crew. They have a variety of options for everyone in the crew. Whether you want something light and fresh or a hearty full meal. Fresh made and comfortable environment.“

“Most welcoming people with delicious food. Couldn’t go wrong with anything on the menu. We tired this place to beat the crowds at Disney land and honestly had a much better and wholesome experience at this restaurant than anything we could have gotten at DL. Thanks for the food and experience. Would love to come here more often but unfortunately we are visiting from the east coast. Highly recommend!!!“
