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 :)“

“Some of the best Mediterranean food in the area- which is saying a lot.

Chicken is always juicy; the rice is always flavorful; the salad has the perfect acidity level and balance of components; hummus is clearly house-made; the toum is rich and potent.

The food is great, and the entire place is usually run by one fella, so have some patience- it's not McDonalds, it won't be ready in 30 seconds.

Slow down and enjoy yourself- well worth the wait. Don't bother with food delivery, just drive down there like a normal human being.

My only gripe? The pita could be warmer. That's it- that's my only complaint.“

“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!“

“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.“

“BEST MEDITERRANEAN IN LA (technically Glendora…)
Soooo good omg!! Haven’t had food like this since I was in Athens. The meat is such high quality, just incredible. Vegetables are fresh, bread is soft and handmade - zaatar is fantastic. Excellent prices as well - got the three kebab combo plate, the beef Lula amaaaazing. Chicken and beef kebab good as well but that one was a standout.
And the baklava - wow the pistachio is so fresh and flavorful ugh.
Clean dining room and a few seats in a small patio (next to the parking lot) so not super great date vibe or something….but the food is amazing!“

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

“I've been coming here for years now, and it's consistently a 10/10! Service is great, food is delicious (and healthy!), and it's always awesome to dine at small mom and pop shops. Will forsure be catering from here when I need it!“

“Food is delicious great staff“

“If you’re looking for Mediterranean food with great vibes and a welcoming atmosphere, this place is definitely worth checking out!

The owner was incredibly friendly and cheerful, and you could tell he genuinely cared about making everyone feel welcome. His positive attitude really set the tone and gave the whole place such a good vibe.

I also loved the small mom-and-pop feel. It felt personal and welcoming, which made the experience even better.

We ordered the chicken kabobs, and the kids went with the classic burgers and fries. Everything was great, but what really stood out was the empanadas. The owner was raving about them and insisted we try some on the house, and honestly, I was very impressed. They were delicious!

We’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you again for the great food and positive energy!“

“Came here during the Glendora Village Holiday Stroll. It was so yummy! We tried the beef and chicken crepe sandwiches with garlic sauce and pesto. Everyone in our party loved what they ordered, even the decaf was amazing! 💓 great, friendly customer service also. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“The Best of Mediterranean“

“My wife & I found this hidden gem Mediterranean Restaurant a few years ago. We've tried many other Mediterranean restaurants but Damasquino to this day is still our favorite! Don't let the small location fool you because the food is larger than life! Amazingly mouth watering delicious!
Hussam, the master chef/cook never fails to deliver! We typically get the chicken kabob plate with rice, hummus, salad, grilled onion & tomato, pita bread & of course the strong garlic sauce! Last time we were there on 06/25/26, Hussam made us his juicy signature shawarma sandwich wrap which was a flavor bomb! It made our taste buds explode! The prices are very reasonable, the ambiance is cozy, & the cooks are friendly! We drive over 30 minutes every time we come here! It's worth the trip!
If you're looking for delicious authentic Mediterranean food, stop by & give them a try! You won't be disappointed.“

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

“In love with this restaurant 🤤🤤🤤“

“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. :)“

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

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

“First time eating here. The food was fire! So fresh and delicious. The girl taking orders was very helpful and answered all of my questions. I ordered a build your own bowl. My base was French fries and Romaine salad. I got feta cheese to make feta fries. In my salad I kept all of the toppings it comes with from tomatoes, cucumber, pickled onions (the BEST here), and more. I added cilantro jalapeno humus, Caesar dressing on the side, kalamata olives, feta cheese, jalapeño, red onions and pita crumbles. For Protein I got the Chicken Shawarma and added extra protein-Shrimp. The shrimp was the star of the show. They were big, plump, deveined, grilled and seasoned to perfection! It also came with a thick, soft pita. One of my friends ordered a shawarma chicken wrap and it was huge. 2 other friends ordered the plate. The plate only comes with the protein and 2 selections and they got rice and veggies with a pita. The bowl and wrap are the best options.
I gave the atmosphere a 3 because the seats are hard seats and it’s not too warm and comfy but the food is worth it. I’m also glad they have Coke brand and also Poppi can drinks and bottled sparkling water.“

“Great food and great service!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 loved the people helping they were fantastic and knew what they were talking about when it came to the excellence of Mediterranean cuizine. On TOP of that, the space is very neat and well organized. Overall very accommodating and excellent service.“

“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. 😊“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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 is the best Mediterranean food around. We love the chicken kabob plate. It’s a must have.“

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

“I love this place....all their dishes are delicious....if you haven't tried it....please do....there's never a day that the lines are out the door....speaks volumes!!!! The owner is a wonderful man....George is his name. So next time you see him call him by his name and you'll see for yourself.... :-)“

“They prioritize Uber Eats over walk ins but over all the food is good but a bit pricey. But I’m only posting a review because I was having a really bad day and someone put this post it on the bag saying “have a great day” with cute stickers and it just really touched my heart. Thank you - I needed that“

“I visited Nick The Greek in Yorba Linda and had such a great experience!

We ordered the Gyro Plate, Greek Salad, Beef Gyro, and the Mediterranean Bowl, and every single dish was absolutely delicious. The flavors were fresh, well-balanced, and everything tasted authentic. The portions were also very satisfying.

One thing that really surprised me was that they even have Pistachio Cream Dubai Chocolate ice cream, which was such a unique and tasty dessert option!

The kitchen looked very clean, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the overall atmosphere was great.

I will definitely be coming back next time. If you're looking to try authentic and flavorful Greek food, I highly recommend this place!“

“Excellent food, good service“

“A good friend of mine invited me to this place. The steak and chicken skewer were so tender, juicy, and flavorful, we ended up ordering another round! We ordered the lemon dill rice, grilled mixed vegetables, and potatoes. All very delicious! We had Greek Wine which is good too! We will be back for sure!“

“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!”“

“Excellent food and nice staff“

“Came for empanadas and left with yummy kabobs. Waldo was super funny and nice and I preferred his sauce over Mariam’s since he asked. Didn’t expect the middle eastern food to be that good but it was. Can’t wait to come back. He also gave us warak Eineb on the house and it was pretty good. Better warmed up like he did.“

“Awesome!! The Blackened Salmon Kabobs have me LIFE!“

“Came here before the Covina chris parade and was yummy as usual.“
