50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Studio City

“Definitely a go to place for comfort food! It was my first time to go here with my girlfriends and their happy hour is worth it! Since then I kept coming back or order delivery. My favorite is the gyro combo with some sweet potato waffle fries. Don't forget the garlic aoli sauce (thank me later ;D)“

“The Brazino was amazing 🤩. Great service, salad and appetizer.“

“This is the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever had! Everything was so flavorful! I had the lamb kabob plate and my dad had the chicken kabob plate, and both were fantastic! I eat a lot of mediterranean and this is absolutely the best! Its my new go to spot.“

“We ordered from Kismet Rotisserie for lunch today, and it was a fantastic meal! We went for a whole chicken, along with hummus, tzatziki, wedge pickles, pita, garlic, and chili.

• Chicken: The whole chicken was perfectly roasted—juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The skin had a nice crisp, while the meat remained tender and moist.
• Sides: The hummus and tzatziki were both delicious, fresh, and creamy, complementing the chicken nicely. The wedge pickles added a tangy crunch, which was a great contrast to the richness of the chicken.
• Extras: The pita was soft and warm, perfect for scooping up the hummus and tzatziki. The garlic and chili packed a punch, adding an extra layer of flavor and spice to the meal.

Overall, it was a well-rounded, flavorful lunch that hit the spot. We’ll definitely be ordering from Kismet Rotisserie again!“

“The little plates are yummy. I love the pita bread that came with the hummus (Salatim plate). The other plates were good also. I loved the bread pudding (I think it's better than the best cake). What I like the most about Bacari, besides the beautiful ambiance, is the friendliest staff.“

Let's all help out! May God Bless all of you 🙏“

“Tucked away in an unassuming area of the city, this restaurant is truly a hidden gem. With just one incredibly talented chef running the entire operation—from cooking to serving—you will be amazed by the precision and professionalism on display. Despite managing everything alone, the chef is efficient, courteous, and goes above and beyond to ensure each guest feels welcome.

The restaurant itself is small, cute, and perfectly neat. It exudes charm with its cozy atmosphere and impeccable cleanliness, which makes the dining experience even more enjoyable. During our visit, the place was full, hosting a party of 11 alongside another table of 4 people. Yet, the chef managed to serve everyone on time without compromising the quality or presentation of the food.

We tried all the dishes on the menu, and every single one was a masterpiece—flavors that were perfectly balanced, ingredients that were fresh, and dishes presented with care. Although there are not many vegetarian options, the ones available were thoughtfully prepared and delicious.

This restaurant is a testament to the dedication and passion of its chef, who has created an unforgettable dining experience. Whether you are seeking an intimate meal or a full-course feast, this hidden gem will not disappoint. Highly recommend visiting and totally worth the drive to the area!“

“The food was amazing. I ordered the chicken pita with Tzatziki and fries. The chicken was juicy with a nice char on the outside and the tzatziki sauce was perfect. What I loved most about this place was the staff. Everyone was polite and friendly; even in their interactions with one another. Definitely will be coming back when I'm in the area.“

“The creamy pasta is my favorite.“

“This sharwama restaurant is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Middle Eastern flavors. The shawarma is perfectly seasoned and juicy, wrapped in fresh bread with crisp veggies and a tangy sauce. The falafel is also fantastic—crispy outside, tender inside, and packed with flavor. Portions are generous, and the hummus is smooth and balanced. With a cozy atmosphere and friendly staff, and also offers a delightful experience at a great value. Highly recommend!“

The falafel made with a perfect crunch & so moist & tasty on the inside, lamb & beef...PERFECTION! Joe, the owner, very soft spoken & humble when given a compliment. Service, EXCELLENT! I read the reviews yesterday & today we had to try it. If I had 3 thumbs 👍👍👍😉😁 Our lunch feast! Excellent!! 😋😋⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

And of course the food was delicious, as usual!“

Whether you're a cocktail connoisseur or just looking for a great place to unwind, Lud’da delivers top-notch drinks and an exceptional experience. Highly recommended!“

“Amazing food. Great family run business. It’s just like eating a home cooked meal every time. The family is one of the nicest you will meet. Been coming here for a lot of years and the food is consistently great. Also, they do catering for any sized parties.“

“I'm at a loss for words, but I'll try my best. Food? Amazing! Perfect amount of seasoning and the portions are huge! And this is coming from a big dude. For the appetizers, my favorites were the Kashk E'bademjan (Eggplant Delight), Potato Salad, and the Hummus! They have more selections, but this is what I was able to try. I hear all are great! For the Entrees, ALL OF THEIR KABOBS ARE FIRE (MMM MMMM YUMMY). I had a sample of most them and in the islands, we would say "broke da mouf kine", which translates to, the food is *beep beep* GOOD! If you've never had Persian Food, or you love it, this is the restaurant for you! Drinks? I love Korean Soju and Cass beer, so yeah, +10 points from me. They do carry various Wines and Beers though...and of course your choice of Soda Pop. Atmosphere? It' gives you a Kewl Kids Vibe; a classy place where you can be yourself with family and friends and just enjoy each others company. You have your choice of Indoor and Outdoor dinning which is amazing. There's also a private room upstairs that can hold 20 people for a meal and karaoke (there is a fee to reserve, but very much worth it). Staff? We were greeted at the door as if we were coming home. Pasha and his staff go above and beyond to make sure all your needs are met. Their suggestions on meal and drink pairings are spot on. I can't thank Pasha and the crew for making our group outing a success. Overall? I'll be going back and I hope that you add this restaurant to your list of 'go to' places to dine at. You will not be disappointed, I promise you. (Unless your attitude stinks or you're not willing to try new food ‍) Pasha again, thank you so much for the hospitality. I already told Fatemeh that I'll be coming back again. سپاسگزارم“

“Amazing food , great ambiance and friendly staff“

“Hummus is to die for. Had the seasonal seabass special and schnitzel, plus the strawberry and blackberry cocktail. Everything was top notch. Very friendly service. Nice ambiance. Great patio; the hedges make it feel like you're in a secluded park. If you're staying at the adjacent Sonder Crescent Hotel it's a bonus being close to this quaint 5-star restaurant. For fine-dining quality food I found the prices totally reasonable! The portions were also very filling.“

“Dinner was superb tonight“

“We were surprised just how good the food and the service was here!! The hummus was some of the best we've ever had and every single dish was fresh and flavorful. Our wait staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Would definitely come back here again!!“

“Clean, fresh and flavorful food - Cornish hen kabob plate and tabouli salad- was quite a nice surprise and delightful experience nestled in the heart of the Garment district.“

“Love Dune! Great spot for a quick bite of something Mediterranean. In the heart of Atwater village too! Highly recommend the falafel plate as well.

Vegetarian options: Love the veggie options here, the falafel is so good and I am usually very picky about falafel!“

“Way fancier inside than I expected. It was empty at the time, so we got amazing service: quick and attentive. The food was a bit pricey but came with so much and was absolutely delicious! Excited to go back and to bring more people next time!“

“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.“

“happily 😊 surprised. lunch on the run. Good Chicken!“

“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!“

“This is the best Mediterranean/Lebanese food in LA. I have not tried a better falafel anywhere in the world yet... Definitely 10 stars!!“

“The staff here were so kind! I came in very close to closing (I know - I just hadn’t eaten all day ?) and they were still lovely. DD took his time putting my order together and made sure I got as many as possible of the toppings that I wanted, despite some of the stock having run out for the day. Thank you guys for a positive experience - I appreciate it!“

“It’s the most place to hangout and enjoy caravans meal. Great food and excellent service Caravan restaurant is the best and awesome place“

“I saw that this place had been open not too long ago and happened to walk by it the other day and was enticed by the smell.

Today I decided to give it a try and based on the customer service alone, I will be returning!

Angel and Chris were super helpful and helping me decide what to order my first time and made some accommodations for me which I really appreciated. They really went above and beyond and it's nice to be able to have an experience like that when the media has been hammering away that quality customer service is in decline.

I'm happy to say that that is not the case here!

Looking forward to my next visit!“

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

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

“Cevapi is almost like eating it in Sarajevo a few years ago.“

“The owner is one of a kind, not only is the food the best quality and Persian cuisine in westwood, but the owners attentiveness to detail is also extraordinary. The workers and owner have never missed a detail in any of my orders while always being diligent regarding the timing of my take out orders. My favorite is the sangak pizza and juicy chicken kabob. Can’t go wrong with those. I only do take out so I’ve never dined in but the sauces they offer for the salad and pizza are also great. Definitely try them out for your next dine in or takeout experience.

Also, the owner waited for me to pick up my order after closing time since I was running late. Really the best.“

“Always fresh and filling!“

“Wonderfully fresh ingredients, deep flavors, expertly prepared,,,all the taste and all the health benefits. Everything made fresh to order. Beet Salad rocked. Owner was a delightful gentleman.

Vegetarian options: Beet Salad“
