50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near View Park Windsor Hills

“I heard great things about this place and they exceed my expectations! You can order and pay on a screen or at the counter, food was fast, hot and SO GOOD! I brought two friends, we each got something different but all left satisfied. I got the half lemon and garlic chicken. The plate is HUGE could easily share with two people. I’m already looking forward to having the leftovers for lunch tomorrow.“

“Everything about this place is excellent. The food is flavorful and clearly made with care, the service is kind and attentive, and the atmosphere is both elegant and inviting. A wonderful dining experience every time!“

“We had a 9PM, Sunday reservation at Sora Craft Kitchen, and when we first pulled up, we genuinely thought we were at the wrong place. The surrounding area is very dark and industrial at night, there were barely any cars around, and from the outside you would never expect what’s waiting for you inside.

The second we walked in, it was a completely different atmosphere. It was quiet and super ambient. One thing that immediately surprised me was that it didn’t smell like at all. We were greeted by the chef himself, and seeing him prepare everything right in front of us made the experience even more special. He was essentially running the kitchen himself, yet every dish came out surprisingly fast, fresh, and beautifully prepared.

We started with the Dry-Aged Tenderloin Shish Kebab, and that alone immediately set the tone for dinner. The beef was incredibly flavorful and tender.

Then the chef brought out the Mastabe and PLEASE!! If you come here, ORDER THIS. It ended up becoming the staple of our entire dinner. It’s this creamy house-made yogurt, we literally started adding it to EVERYTHING. The garlicky, creamy freshness somehow complemented every meat and every dish without overpowering anything.

Next came the Siverek Tava, and this one completely blew me away. The combination of ground beef, tomato, and roasted eggplant was incredible. My boyfriend HATES eggplant. Like, refuses to order anything with eggplant level of hate. Even he was shocked at how good it was and how perfectly the eggplant worked with the beef. Huge props to the chef because changing someone's mind about an ingredient they swear they hate says a lot.

The Grilled Branzino came next and was a perfect change of pace. Simple, fresh, perfectly grilled, and topped with vegetables. After all the richer flavors, the fish felt light and refreshing while still having plenty of flavor.

Then we had the Icli Kofte, which might have been one of the biggest surprises of the night. I wasn't expecting such an explosion of flavor from this dish.

Our last savory dish was the Garlic-Spiced Kebab. At this point I was so full and genuinely thought there was no way I was going to finish another dish... and then I kept eating it. It was smoky, garlicky, juicy, and so flavorful that I literally couldn't stop.

And somehow we still made room for dessert.

We finished with the Cheese Halva with Yuzu–Black Sesame Ice Cream, and it was the PERFECT ending. The warm cheese halva practically melted in our mouths. While the ice cream had this refreshing flavor that reminded us of mint and pistachio. The pistachio pieces underneath added the perfect crunch and texture to balance everything out.

What impressed me most about Sora wasn't just one specific dish. It was how thoughtfully everything paired together. Every dish tasted completely different. Nothing felt generic or like something you could order at any other restaurant. You can genuinely taste the freshness and the amount of thought the chef puts into the flavors, textures, and pairings.

Don't let the location fool you. Once you walk through those doors, it's this little hidden gem where the food completely speaks for itself.

Mastabe is NON-NEGOTIABLE. Order it and put it on everything.

Such an amazing dinner and the perfect way to end our day. We left ridiculously full and already talking about coming back. Easily one of the best meals we've had so far.“

“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.”“

“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.“

“Such an enchanting restaurant. I went there for the second time taking my girlfriends . It was such a hit and WE all had an amazing time . The food, service and atmosphere all are superb . We all got together after a long time and the relaxed atmosphere gave us the opportunity to catch up and enjoy the food and the drinks !!!“

“Dasha, help us out with our order. She has an amazing smile. We were having a bad day and as soon as we saw her with her smile, they turned around. She is very professional and served us with a lot of love and kindness. We will definitely gonna tell all our friends about this.
The manager was amazing too. The coke machine was not working and he said take one of the bottles. Do you know how I feel??? I feel like like, I will tell to a million people about how good cava is!!!!“

“I love this place and come constantly. The food and service are fabulous. The staff are extremely friendly and the atmosphere is so beautiful. I really wanted to give five stars, but I just wish the owner would fix the A/C. I feel really bad that the staff have to work in such hot temperatures in the summer, especially the gentleman working the grill. Please fix it for them and I'll be happy to leave another 5-star review :)“

“5-star alert! My wife surprised me with this delicious Tunisian restaurant on Father’s Day! It was like an exotic trip to Mediterranean North Africa. The servers were good and the owner was super friendly and helpful! We had prawns, fish, lamb, cauliflowers, and the infamous Hand of Fatima. Everything was delicious, with unique flavors and beautifully presented. The sauces were so unique and flavorful, we had 3 orders of bread as we want to enjoy more of the flavors in every dish!“

“As someone born and raised in Greece,
I’m very particular about what I call authentic Greek food—and Taverna at The Mar Vista is the real thing. 🇬🇷

The food genuinely brings me back home.
The recipes have been passed down through three generations, and you can taste that tradition in every dish.
This isn’t Americanized Greek food; it’s the kind of simple, flavorful, traditional cooking I grew up with in Greece.

A special mention to Maria, the consulting chef—she is absolutely incredible.
Her passion, knowledge, and respect for authentic Greek cuisine come through beautifully in the food.

Their Sunday lunch/brunch and traditional Greek BBQ are a must—beautiful grilled meats, fresh Greek salad, tzatziki, warm pita,
and all the flavors you expect from a real Greek taverna.

The service is excellent—warm, attentive, and genuinely hospitable—and the ambience is amazing.
Sitting outside under the trees honestly gives you that relaxed Mediterranean feeling of a Sunday afternoon back in Greece.

Three generations of recipes, authentic Greek flavors, wonderful hospitality, and an atmosphere that feels like home.
The most authentic Greek experiences in Los Angeles. 🇬🇷💙“

“just check your takeout meal is complete before you leave they forgot my pita bread huhu“

“One of my favorite spots to grab a quick meal. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently good. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and service is always fast. I also love all the sauce options and the healthier menu choices. Portions are generous too—I usually end up with leftovers for later. Definitely a place I keep coming back to!“

“The Harvest Dinner was a wonderful experience. Lemon Poppy is a durable, local favorite, a fun & friendly place to get predictably good food. Having the opportunity to attend a more intimate, curated & personal dining experience was such a treat! The relaxed pace, the unique multi-course meal, & the delightful food surprised that just kept coming ... delightful! Everything was so good! And so much food - we left with multiple leftover containers, that I was able to enjoy for several meals afterward. Definitely a highlight ❤️“

“It was our anniversary, as I had mentioned when making the reservation, and unfortunately, nobody even acknowledged it. It was quite disappointing and not a good feeling to have on such a special night. We also felt a bit forgotten between our appetizer and main course. By the time the main course arrived, we were both kind of over the experience, which was unfortunate. Nobody came by to check on us or ask if we wanted another drink. The atmosphere itself is beautiful, and I would recommend coming here for a regular night out, but based on our experience, I wouldn't recommend it for a special occasion.“

“This is my fav CAVA location around me. Hakima and the whole staff are super helpful, kind, and patient yet quick! The perfect spot for a lunch outing or a quick lunch break. Thank you for always providing great service and delicious food. The Harissa Avocado salad is my fav! :)“

“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“

“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. !!!!!!“

“great food. hands down awesome“

“My Favorite L.A. restaurant by all means. I need to feel the love one puts into their food. And this is the place I feel it the most. Delish, home-style, served with a smile in a kind, friendly way. The one place that I walk into and feels like home. Thank you for you guys“

“We stopped by this little Greek restaurant before we went to the Greek theater. The kabobs were definitely prepared by a chef that knows what he is doing. You can tell it was authentic right when you walk in.
Spicy hummus was SPICY. Kabobs were very tender. I wish I lived closer!“

“First time there and has a good experience 👍“

“The food was fantastic! The service was good too but at times it felt like there was too much time between when our server came by. The drinks took a long time to come out, and when they arrived on of the drinks was spilled by the server. The 4th course came out before the 3rd course. The $70 dinner sampler is a great way to try a variety of food but it's not really a great value; the portions were almost laughable. Corkage is allowed for a $35 per bottle fee.“

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

“I’ve been to Zankou Chicken many times, but I never really stepped out of my comfort zone to try something different.

Nava recommended the Chicken and Steak Combo, and I’m so glad he did! My family and I absolutely loved it. Nava was also very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Thank you, Nava, for the great recommendation and amazing service!“
