50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near View Park Windsor Hills

“I recently purchased food from here while attending a conference in the city of Los angeles. It was truly fall off the bone deliciously seasoned chicken. The chicken was tender and juicy. It was a little difficult to separate out some of the smaller Bones from the half chicken but I got through it and enjoyed that I could rend the flesh with my hands because I did not have a knife and fork (I do not mind this it made me feel cool to eat it manually). The bread was spectacular and was baked to a degree of fluffiness that I have not experienced in another bread. I got it with hummus and pickled turnips which were pretty delectable, very toothesome and vibrantly colored. The sauces I chose were the tahini and the red sauce which were both nice accents on the food. I also got a delicious mint lemonade which was the perfect amount of sweet and tart with a nice cool mint flavor.

It is so difficult nowadays to find truly authentic Middle Eastern food, oftentimes it is just a poor imitation co-opted and misappropriated by people from northern Europe who think they have a claim to the land. That's why I am so glad you have gotten food from Jerusalem Chicken where I could tell it was cooked by people truly native to the land.“

“I like the food Jamil n actman is the best“

“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.“

“One of the best meals I’ve had in LA. The food was exceptional and had so many amazing flavors. I went here on a date and the atmosphere was perfect. It is all outside but the heaters kept it toasty and it’s very picturesque. Our favorite things we got were the yams, and there was a delicious mussels special that was SO good. Extra bonus because they have a parking lot. Will definitely be coming back many times!“

“From the initial greeting, to the lovely outside seating, to the great service staff, to really great flavors, it was a terrific meal. Our whole group concurred, “let’s come back here.”“

“Delicious! Really interesting and tasty food.“

“Love this place. Always great music with a warm and welcoming atmosphere!“

“One of my favorite restaurants ever. The meat was seasoned so expertly and was so tender. Mussel toast was INCREDIBLE. Their sourdough was out of this world. Staff was knowledgeable and guided us in trying many interesting wines. This place was amazing!“

“From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere at Carmel felt amazing. The staff greeted us with warm smiles, and the ambient setting was just right for a relaxed evening. The open flame grill created delicious dishes that were as beautiful as they were tasty. An overall fantastic experience.“

“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 creamy pasta is my favorite.“

“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.“

“This restaurant has excellent choice of delicious Lebanese food, beverages and desserts. Every thing is authentically signed (961) 🇱🇧🇱🇧“

“Lamb, beef, falafel, hummus, cauliflower, etc. Fresh made bread so fluffy & soft to dip into the creamiest hummus ever. 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!! 😋😋⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“Wonderful food and service! The owner is very friendly and we enjoyed learning about his restaurant journey. Cute diner atmosphere. Definitely a place you want to patron regularly.“

“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!“

“I really love this place. It feels like you’re walking into a special place somewhere in Europe. And it’s tucked away enough to not be super touristy and crowded. The staff always greets us with a smile, and the vibe is just perfection. The indoor area has such a cool atmosphere, and the outdoor tables are on the water. You can NOT go wrong here.“

“So absolutely pleasantly surprised by all parts of this place. The food was phenomenal. The eggplant was surprisingly bright and so flavorful. The wines were so crispy and unique;such beautiful art.

The staff and the live music were the best part. This has got to be one of the nicest teams in the city. Loved every minute of it.

Kid-friendliness: Amazing. My four year old had a blast. Her menu was surprisingly creative and yet so approachable. And she loved to dance to the live music“

“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.“

“Lud’da offers a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere with an impressive cocktail menu that stands out in the area. The drinks are expertly crafted, with unique twists on classic favorites. Bartender Ugur is a true standout—his skill and knowledge shine through in every cocktail he serves. 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!“

“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“

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

“Great spot for lunch or dinner“

“Dinner was superb tonight“

“The decor made you think you were on vacation. The food took your tastebuds to a whole other level of flavor! This place went above all my expectations. Everyone should try to visit @PalomaVenice“

“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.“

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

“My 1st time here. I ordered food to go for my son and I. Really enjoyed it. I've lived right around the corner, over 35yrs, and have never seen this place. I will be back.😊“

“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!“

“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.“

“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)“

“First time there and has a good experience 👍“

“?Love this spot the food always so good and their meats are so flavorful and tender Shirazi salad is my favs the roasted tomato and jalapeño too plus that one special sauce that has spices and a tangy lemon taste goes real good on everything ? trust me this place is so worth it ?“

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

“Delicious! Stumbled upon this hidden gem. Food was incredible, plates were totally customizable, service was amazing (the owner came to offer us extra sauces and napkins and a to go bag at the end)- definitely exceeded expectations. We will be back!“

“I love the Lemon 🍋 Herb Chicken. It is the best. The chicken is so moist and juicy. I love dipping the chicken in the juice, getting all the flavor. I get it with a bake potato 🥔 with butter 🧈 and sour cream and mixed vegetables. My daughter loves it, too.“

“I love The Vegetarian with chicken breast � which is healthy and delicious! The staff are friendly and nice. They treat you like family �“

“I love the food here! I get the bowl and choose Romaine and french fries for my base. Tastes so good with the grilled chicken and all the other super fresh ingredients. Fast, friendly service too. The place is very clean and open. Industrial chic.“

“I came to Tesse to meet up with a friend and it just happened to be Dine LA week. For the prices, I felt that they offered a good variety and good amount of dishes to make sure you left full, at least for 2 people. Not a cheap place so it was nice to actually get a full meal. Not sure how it would have worked out if we had a larger party being that you get one smallish salad and 2 pastries. The food was very good. For DineLA, the table gets the Morning Baked Pastries (1 muffin & 1 croissant) AND the Little Gem salad AND their Our Famous Gluten-Free Oat Pancakes. Then each person chooses one of the main courses which in our case was their Short Rib Hash and Tesse Burger. We did not try the muffin or the croissant but I did take it home and my sister said it was average. As for the salad, it looked way over dressed but it wasn't so bad when I actually tried it. The dressing was mild so it was good. I really enjoyed their pancakes. If you have any hesitations about the gluten-free or oats, I would say still try them. They were good and would definitely order them again. I enjoyed the Short Rib Hash. It was basically a deconstructed hash, layered with scrambled eggs, short ribs, crispy potatoes, and caramelized onions and peppers. I felt that the short rib could have been flavored more, but eating with the caramelized onions helped. The potatoes were fantastic. So crispy and not burnt. The burger visually looked very plain and boring but it was surprisingly really good. It was on the small side though. I did feel that the DineLA menu was a bit confusing in that the food options were a bit scattered and random, especially in the order that they were served. The service was great. It was not very busy so perhaps that helped but the staff was very friendly and attentive. Overall, I would come back again....I just need to be prepared a little extra since once again it is not a cheap place.“

“recommended momed 💜️ hotel“

“We are blessed to have this King Mediterráneo in Torrance. The food is delicious and very generous on the portion served. When I go there, I always try to say hello to Ara or Norah. It is such a pleasure to see and talk to them, they make me feel that we are long time friends. For sure I recommend this place and give them a FIVE STAR rating. I assure you will not be disappointed. !!!!!!“

“Exceptional Mediterranean food (even though most people just get fried chicken and fries here — no shame!). Unexpected highlight is the home made ketchup, worth getting a few extras.
Minus one star for the baklava which is $7 for a tiny, single bite piece. Photos make it look like it’s the size of a slice of pie, which is very misleading.“

“great food. hands down awesome“

“The chicken is so good and juicy. Its fresh and full of flavor.“

“The service was VERY friendly. My server, and several others, greeted me with genuine smiles. Started with Warak Enab Dolma/Sarma (stuffed grape leaves), which were excellent. They are the non-vinegar type which I much prefer, firm with plenty of rich olive oil. Then the Sea Bass entrée. Two full filets traditionally seasoned, a large salad, and potatoes. The tomatoes are perfect! Beautiful tea service. Very quaint atmosphere, friendly staff with genuine smiles, everything well presented. Will definitely be back. FYI: Ample free parking on the roof, enter on Western Ave (Petco).“

“Amazing gem I found here in Culver City, I was looking for Mediterranean food and happened to stumble upon this place. The owners are so welcoming and the atmosphere feels very much like a home. I will definitely come back for more, highly recommend the lamb shawarma plate! Thank you!“

“delicious food in a beautiful setting.“
