They gave me a generous amount & a discount because the falafel was not ready at the time I ordered. This made my day! Thank you so much for being so kind to my kid and I :)“

“This terrific restaurant has been my go-to choice for Mediterranean food in the Whittier-La Mirada area for years. Their plates are pretty to look at and filling. Today my wife and I split a kofta plate and a lamb pita sandwich. The kofta in a particular was wonderfully spiced and tender. Though we did not order it today, they have the best falafel. They also do a great job with large catering orders. We've used them for parties in the past, and our guests always came away happy“

“First time here and what a delicious surprise. Ordered a Mediterranean chicken Doner Wrap and it was great. Decent portion, the combination of ingredients plus the garlic aioli sauce made my day.
And also the servers were so attentive too.
Highly recommended!“

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

“Food is delicious great staff“

“Despite the restaurant being busy, I was seated very quickly, which made for a great first impression. The food was excellent, and I especially enjoyed the orange mint hookah. The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was friendly, and the overall vibe made for a great experience. I would definitely recommend this place and look forward to coming back.“

“The food was like going to a hig-hend restaurant, without the high-end price. If you want real food eat here. I am not one to rate places, but this one I just had to give it 5 stars. Just be patient with the cook it's not fast food and he takes his time to make it special. Authentic mediterranean if I ever had it.“

“The Best of Mediterranean“

“Damasquino is an absolute gem in Glendora! The food is outstanding—everything is fresh, flavorful, and tastes authentically made. The shawarma, kebabs, hummus, and garlic sauce were all exceptional, and the quality really stands out.

What made the experience even better was the service. Everyone was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The staff was friendly, helpful with recommendations, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal.

If you’re looking for incredible Mediterranean food paired with outstanding hospitality, Damasquino is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend!“

“This is our go-to place for great Mediterranean style food. Great food, and friendly employees, especially Cailyn and Jonathan! I miss the beef 'kafka' and kale salad, but the seasoned beef/lamb combo and the new salads are great too.
Keep it up.“

“The word is out! I honestly can say that Lemon Mint is the hottest restaurant in the SGV for excellent Mediterranean cuisine and hookah. I’ve had friends from Glendale to Orange County hearing great things about Lemon Mint and I tell them the hype is real. The cuisine is fresh and authentic. The hookah is the cherry on top to a relaxed outdoor environment. Seating is limited so plan ahead to get a great seat. For you that love hookah, we always have the “Love 66”.
Ownership of this great establishment is always on sight making sure every customer is happy and taken care of. Thank you Sam for bringing such a great restaurant to Glendora.“

“In love with this restaurant 🤤🤤🤤“

“I love how tasty their food is. I had the Lafta wrap and a Kafta plate. The way I devoured it all was insane. The flavors were great, the food was fresh, and the restaurant is kept very clean and tidy. The bread in unreal and tastes so good from their oven. I absolutely loved this place and I loo forward to coming back!

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp right by the entrance!“

“Great food and great service!!“

“I usually order online because I like to just grab my food and go. I work near the La Habra location, but I’m almost always disappointed there—they’re pretty stingy with the portions and my bowl is never exactly what I order.

The Brea location is completely different. Every bowl I’ve ordered has been a 10/10 with generous portions, fresh ingredients, and great consistency. I’d much rather stick to the Brea location because I know I’m getting a great meal every time!“

“This restaurant is absolutely phenomenal. The atmosphere is warm and friendly which is evident from all interactions with every staff member. The food and service are excellent in every sense of the word. The bread and baklava were made fresh! The Turkish Delights were phenomenal. The owner and staff went to great lengths to make us feel comfortable and welcome, explaining the menu items in detail. We are so excited to have come across this gem!!! It is the type of culinary and cultural experience that my husband and I treasure. We will be coming again soon, both with and without friends! We can’t wait to try some of the items on the patio grill. :)“

“We stopped by for a quick dinner, and everything we ordered was delicious. The food was flavorful and had a homemade feeling to it. We got a side of hummus & pita (surprised at how reasonably priced this was!). I got chicken shawarma plate with cabbage salad & tzatziki, and my husband got the kefta plate. Everything was so good! It’s small place, more for a quick bite or take out. Will definitely be back! They offer family size orders also.“

“Needed a bit to eat after my leg workout. I wanted chicken and rice so came in to try this place out. I was a little confused because it says Aladdin but the sign outside says burgers 🤣 Glad I walked out to look for it. Ordered a chicken kabob. It was about $30 with the extra chicken kabob, but it was a hefty meal. The plate came with rice, grilled veggies, hummus, pita, and a green salad. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. Everything was tasty, even the garlic sauce and taziki sauce. Glad I tried it out.“

“Garden Salad and request to add the grilled salmon.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Best Mediterranean food I’ve had in a very long time.“

“Love Kebab G Stop! I moved to the area from central LA and am so happy I found a Mediterranean spot that is up there with the best! Love the chicken kebabs, the rice is very tasty and the spicy hummus is creamy and smooth! Def my go-to spot!“

“The food is amazing! You can’t be the quality of the ingredients.“

“We love love your restaurant!! You have the best grilled chicken ever!! We dine here about twice a month. We love Paris she is a fantastic server. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience every time. ❤️“

“I was referred this hidden gem by a friend to try their bakery, namely the “Laham be ajeen” aka (Safiha) but I was tempted to try their spinach pies, which turned out to be a great idea. Family enjoyed the pies more than the famous bakeries of Brookhurst of Anaheim. I have bought some Baraze’ too but unfortunately they seemed to have been slightly under-cooked so I had to give them a little bit of toasting. Maybe it’s a personal choice of mine to have sesame on baraze’ cookies a bit darker and more toasty.
Their cooking menu is good. I would order in advance.
In the small grocery section, I was surprised to find some middle eastern delicacies at a decent price such as the coveted brown truffles in brine. I filled up 😎

While they have a couple of tables, I didn’t feel it was suitable to sit. The view is the parking lot and other businesses.“

“I've been searching for really good stuffed grape leaves since a former co-worker brought some of her home made dolma at work about 8 years ago... I've had some hits (mostly misses), but none compared to the one she made... now this... the search is over. Happy palate!😊 It's my first time here. What can I say? As soon as I entered the place, I can smell good things baking and cooking. The owner showed me trays of fresh baked pastries/pies (spinach, meat & cheese) as he took them out straight from the oven. Everything looked delicious. The service was great. I ordered to go and the owner gave me a sample of the Cheese Burak (Cheese Pie) to eat on the go. I started driving off and as soon as I took my first bite I regretted immediately why I did not order that.Everything we ordered were so flavorful and delicious. They also have the best Hummus. So I will definitely go back to this place. 😊“

“I ordered takeout and was happily surprised! I got the chicken shawarma wrap and it was delicious! It did take about 25 minutes for my order, so plan ahead and order online through their website. The ladies working were very kind and attentive. Will be back to try more of their dishes!“

“Love the food, great service. Super sweet staff. They gave my sister a free cup to drink whatever she wanted. 🤍

Delicious, and good portioned food. Plus the desert is extra yummy. They even have dubai chocolate!“

“We ordered the spicy hummus, garlic fries, beef shawarma, babakenush?, and cauliflower. My friend saw the baclava and had to try it. So we started with desser. The pistachio was very crispy and chewy and was my friends favorite. The walnut was sweet and chewy which was my favorite. Everything was absolutely delicious! The spicy hummus had a little kick at the beginning but as we ate we didn't taste the kick anymore. The cauliflower is lightly fried and so freaking delicious! I ate it by itself or with some hummus. My friend ate it with the babakanush and some cauliflower sauce and was in love. I tried her babakanush. I don't like eggplant but this was really delicious! Had a lovely garlic flavor that was slightly addicting. The garlic fries was just fries sprinkled with garlic powder but dipped it in the hummus and it was good. The pitas were really good too. I could've eaten more if I wasn't so full. But the beef shawarma was freaking AMAZING!!!!! We both said this was the best Mediterranean food we've ever had. I said no tomatoes to my beef shawarma which I'm glad I did. The flavor was absolutely amazing without it. Definitely 10/10 no complaints at all. And service was awesome too! So kind, friendly, and funny. I can't wait to come back again!“

“Great food , and fair prices. The best Mediterranean food I had in the inland empire. it’s located in the new part of Claremont Village.“

“Excellent food (and service) at good prices. Dinner plates are hearty with plenty of food to split in half. Thank you!“

“Went yesterday with my Daughters and can I say the food was so amazing. It was everything I hoped it to be. We came all the way from L. A and it was worth the drive. We will definitely be back! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“K Grill Kabob has the best beef and chicken dishes. Their rice is so tasty that you don’t need any butter. I order from here regularly and thoroughly enjoy all I order each time. I have been a fan of Persian cuisine since I was a kid and K Grill Kabob is the best Persian restaurant in all of Southern California. You should try their great dishes. I know you will enjoy it!“

“This place did NOT disappoint. The food was delicious, the service was fast, and the overall experience was awesome. One of the best spots I’ve tried lately!”“

“As a Greek myself, I have to say good Greek food is HARD to find, and Grape Leaf absolutely delivered! 🇬🇷 Everything we ordered was cooked perfectly, fresh, flavorful, and genuinely delicious. From the salmon and Greek salad to the potatoes, pita, dips, everything was SO good.

I’m visiting from Las Vegas and I’m honestly so happy I stumbled across this spot. It’s always exciting to find Greek food that actually tastes authentic and reminds you of home. ❤️

Seriously, 10/10 I will absolutely be back next time I’m in California! Highly recommend! 🇬🇷✨“

“Good food, great service, fun atmosphere. The inside isn't fancy by any means, but trivia is playing along with 80s music videos that were enjoyable to watch while we waited. Highly recommend the chicken and beef empanadas (in that order). We also got the duet combo with all the fixings which was great. Owner was super friendly and played trivia with us!“

“Lovely healthy food, great hookah options, and wonderful service. I love the atmosphere it’s like a mini vacation.“
