The Green Olive

★★★★☆ 3.6 (118) • $

"This is my go to place to grab a quick lunch. Infact i sometimes walk to the place from work. This is probably the first place where i am impressed with the team that serves along with the food. The lady on the counter is beyond awesome no matter how busy they are she is quick and smiling all the time. This review is for her more than the food.I always get the greek salad and its always exactly the same fresh and crispy."

Fatimas Grill

★★★★☆ 4.4 (124)

"This place is ridiculous! The food, service, and friendly conversation. I could be spokesperson for this location5 times in 8 days....working my way through the menu. This is the Paramount location where Manuel and his team are holding it down! I have no doubt they will be successful and keep the city fed! A++++ all the way around!"

Panini Kabob Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (490) • $$

"Food is always good here. We all had beef koobideh kabob dishes. Service is spot on, "Q" was very attentive and the ambiance was warm and cozy. Plenty if parking.We'll be back."

CAVA

★★★★☆ 4 (424) • $$

"Not my first time at a CAVA but my first time to this one. For those that don't know, CAVA is like a Mediterranean Chipotle. You start with a bowl or Pita and then you pick a base like rice or lettuce, a protein like Chicken or Falafel, some topping and sauces like Hummus, Garlic Sauce, Cucumber, corn, etc. They have a lot of things to choose from.Service here is relatively quick since everything is pre-cooked like Chipotle and there isn't much interaction with the staff after you get your food. Utensils are by the side of the Soda/Fountain Drinks and you have to get that yourself. The interior of this place is very nice and modern. They keep the seats and tables relatively clean. However it's really really cold inside. I recommend bringing a jacket. Even though it was 60 outside, it was freezing cold inside.The food itself is good, if you're not into pickled stuff, try to avoid anything with vinegar. As you can tell from my picture, the bowl isn't really full. It's not packed and that's about the only con -- portion size. I wish they would just be more generous with the rice since it's just cheap filler. The parking lot is pretty big and shared with a few other businesses. I didn't have much issue finding a spot since there's so many. Overall, recommend! Would give it a 5/5 if I didn't leave hungry still."

Cava

"Kristie, T, and Emely assisted me today!They were all amazing and extremely friendly. I come here A LOT as I'm obsessed with CAVA!I highly recommend this location to others.Nice staff and ALWAYS clean.10/10 highly recommend!"

Sahara Falafel

★★★★☆ 4.2 (916) • $$

"Today once again, I visited Sahara Falafel. The customer service was warm and welcoming. The food was exceptional, well seasoned and portions were great. I ordered the combo sandwich and my husband order a falafel sandwich along with a humus plate. Deeelicious! It was so nice to dine in and pause for a moment from our busy day. Thank you, (JazakAllah khairen) Sahara Falafel for being a halal staple in our community."

Mr.Shawarma

★★★★★ 4.6 (94)

"Got the chicken while my friend had a beef shawarma combo. Amazing wrap and seasoned nicely with delicious dinner. Served very fresh to order.Fries are good too despite coming on a weekday. Love to come by and get more. Portions are generous overall."

The Green Olive

★★★★☆ 4.1 (640) • $$

"It's all about the food the ambiance and vibe. I have eaten here for many years the restaurant is setup and located inside the liquor store in back of the store they only have a two sets of two person seating tables it's clean the staff are chill always nice and ordering is easy low key just order take it home is what most people do. Chicken Kebabs Grilled perfectly and seasoned well it comes with rice a small salad and hummus and pita it's very good and that salad dressing is the bomb I'd suggest you buy an extra one and eat it with the chicken this meal was a 8/10 it was so good I ate all of the salad and had a lot of rice and chicken leftover. Hummus delicious but the pita bread is mid and not homemade it will do but I prefer it made fresh. 7/10 Strawberry cheesecake Delicious very buttery crust and soo good. Side salad I ordered a larger one to go and bought an extra salad dressing that was divine it's a yogurt based garlicky sauce and I love it. Green sauce For dipping the chicken in this one is tasty. Tsaziki sauce Creamy garlicky and soo bomb I always buy extra. I definitely recommend that you give them a try there's so much more on that menu grilled salmon beef kebabs falafel gyros and more. Just me Shawn C. ; )"

Fabi’s Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (87) • $$

"Been wanting to try this place for a while and was pleasantly surprised. It's fast casual and mostly high top seating in a small location next to Starbucks. The prices here are very reasonable and the quality of the food is good. Had the gyro plate which comes with your choice of 2 sides and pita and the Fabi fries. Will definitely come back and try some other dishes as they have specials through out the week."

Zaytoon's Kabob

★★★★☆ 4.4 (355) • $$

"Buddy picked this spot after the gym and it was a great find. He ordered the gyro plate; I got the chicken kabobs and a few dolmas. Team here is quiet but friendly. Both plates were good--he said the rice was good, not great. I subbed the rice for salad which I enjoyed. Also subbed the hummus for tzatziki which I'm happy about. It was so good. Make sure to ask for their garlic sauce--tasty! The chicken was juicy and tender; the gyro meat was less exciting but did not lack in flavor. One ask would be to add a combo plate so you can try different proteins, but it worked out for us since we were able to trade. Dolmas were tasty."

Nubia

★★★★☆ 4.1 (476) • $$

"If you are an expat specifically and specially from Gulf region do not miss to visit this place. I have been living in LA since 2016 and the only place I know where I can go sit and relax and can enjoy fresh food like chicken kabab, shawarma, Kunafah and most importantly awesome Karak (milk) tea so this is the place. And I am sure For Hookah lovers too because I don't drink hookah. This place has its own special vibe. Excellent customer service.If you want to celebrate cute and inexpensive surprise birthday party please just let the manager know and you can order a slice of cake (or you can bring ) he will arrange a cake with candle and a patent birthday song. I wish I can give this place 10 stars"

Medmix Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (305) • $$

"Medmix is a place where you can get some Hookah, Mediterranean food and drinks all at once. They have a good sized outside seating area and a good variety of items to select for. While the selection and area looked good, the food, hookah and everything was just ok as well. I had ordered the Al Fakher Mint, and a Beef Shawerma which comes with fries as well and a pot of Mint Tea. They also have heaters outside during the cold season. The Hookah was fine but there was a little bit of an after taste from the previous hookah which just means they don't wash inside the stem or change the water but it was still better than some of the other places. The Shawerma was good in flavor but the meat was a little too dry. Now I believe the reason is also because on a Thursday at around 9pm we were the only people sitting there so things may not have been fresh as nothing was being ordered. But at the end of the day everything was just good, so around the industry average mark in my opinion."

Green Olive

★★★★☆ 4 • $$

"I consider myself a regular here and I can confidently say this spot never disappoints! I come here often, and the shawarma is my go-to dish. It's always flavorful, perfectly spiced, and cooked just right. Whether I'm in the mood for a quick bite or a sit-down meal, the quality is consistent and always hits the spot.The staff is friendly and attentive, the portions are generous, and I always leave feeling satisfied. If you're a fan of Mediterranean, this place is a must."

Taboon Mediterranean

★★★★★ 4.8 (200) • $$

"Randomly ran into fellow yelper B. N. and his wife who live nearby and they informed me that the address that used to have Kerostena has a new place, Taboon Mediterranean. Apparently Taboon has another location in Long Beach and Los Alamitos. The menu is large with soup, salads, cold appetizers, hot appetizers, wraps, bowls, plates, and dessert. Last Wednesday I had the day off work so figured it was a great time to try it out. They've only been open a few weeks. The employee was extremely friendly and happy to talk about the menu. He let me know they have lunch specials Monday-Friday which pretty much gets you the drink for free. I ordered the "halloumi cheese" wrap with lentil soup. I've never had this cheese before and loved it. It's very dense and doesn't melt. They grill it and wrap it with lettuce, tomato, garlic, and a flavorful sauce. The cheese is semi salty and because of the dense texture it was like eating a chicken wrap. I loved every bite and couldn't believe how good it was. I ordered one to take home for my wife and she loved it. At the end she said "I think they forgot the cheese though, it was just some delicious chicken". Her mind was blown when she found out the entire thing was cheese. The vegan lentil soup was a huge portion and loaded with flavor. It was served with some pita chips which I tossed in for texture. My wife had the fries for her side and it was a HUGE portion. She could only eat half and saved the rest for the next day. Salad was another choice for lunch special.Saturday my wife and I came back to eat there. We both ordered the Kefta kabab plate which is a blend of ground beef and lamb. It's heavy on the lamb flavor so keep that in mind if you don't like lamb. It was served with hummus, house salad, two types of rice, sumac covered red onions, a grilled white onion, grilled tomato, pita bread, garlic sauce, and tahini. HUGE portion. Neither my wife or I could finish which is rare for me. I usually devour everything. Every single thing on our plate was fantastic. Loved the two different types of rice. One was very herbal tasting. Since it was our first time here we ordered way too much food. Besides our gut busting entrees we also shared some of their fried cauliflower and the spinach fatayer which are like empanadas. Both awesome.Please try this place! It's behind Shakey's next door to the bagel place that's currently being repairs from the fire. We need good restaurants around here since so many closed during COVID. This is the perfect place for the plaza and I can't wait to try more items!"

The Mediterranean Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (366) • $$

"It's a local spot and a place I go to at least once a month for the past 7 years. I always go for the lamb gyro plate or chicken kebab. I'm not the biggest fan of their hummus, but I enjoy how they cook their meat and rice, and the side of charred tomato and jalapeño with the plate. Everything here is 'not bad' to 'pretty good'. If you're in the area and want bang for your buck, go here. 3.7 stars"

Zait & Zaatar

★★★★☆ 3.9 • $$

"~ WOW JUST WOW ~It was my first time trying Lebanese food and Zait & Zaatar did not disappoint!! I've tried other MEDITERRANEAN cuisines prior, but oh my, nothing like this! I grew up just down the street from this spot, but they unfortunately opened right when I moved out for college. Thankfully, my mom introduced us to this wonderful spot just recently! I'll for sure be back again when I visit my hometown.~ FLAVOR TOWN ~This spot deserves 5 stars for several reasons. One of them is that the dishes are super FLAVORFUL and the SERVINGS are HUGE. I got the FALAFEL SANDWICH and every bite was just spot on. I also snuck in a few bites of the fresh SAJ BREAD and dipped it in HUMMUS from my husband's plate. You can tell that everything was made fresh. They really got the balance of flavors right with every single dish.~ FRIENDLY STAFF ~I'm a little surprised to see some of the negative reviews here. We experienced nothing but friendly and accepting vibes from the staff. We had a chance to mingle with one of the owners and he even hooked us up with some fresh not-so-MINI ZAIT. I'm already looking forward to my next visit here. Can't wait to be back again!"

Carson Kebab

★★★☆☆ 3 (2)

"The food is amazing and the service is great, I really enjoyed the grilled plate I will be returning"

Nomad Eatery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (219) • $$$

"This place is pretty great. It's located within some sort of living space with "suites" but unclear if it's a hotel or not. The place feels modern with an outdoor patio, greenery, and wooden studs supporting the frame.The service was good. Timely with water and food. Not much else to say.I was here for the dinela event and so I ordered the scallop crudo as an appetizer, the filet mignon lomo saltado entree, and the creme brulee dessert.The scallop appetizer was excellent with a spicy green salsa and jalapeño slice that complimented the fresh scallop, mint, and cucumber. The avocado didn't pack too much of a punch, but the combination of spicy with a bit of refreshing minty scallop was excellent.The filet mignon lomo saltado was great too. The steak was very tender and the sauce seeped into the rice well. The fries were crispy as slightly damp fries could be and the onion and tomato mixture was good. The only qualm I have is that the flavor profile comes off a bit salty. A little more kick of lime or mint would freshen it up nicely.The creme brulee is a standard one with a nice crispy top with berries and mint. No notes, this is just delicious since I'm biased towards dessert. Fruit and mint accompany the sugary innards of the brulee well.A fantastic experience all in all. Something worth checking out if you're in the area."

Mama's Kabab

★★★★☆ 4.4 (726) • $$

"Another hidden gem in a strip mall, this time in Cypress. The outside looks older and the menus/signs not well maintained, but don't let that deter you from trying Mama's Kabab. Ordered the combo plate with salad which had kafta kebab, chicken kebab and I think beef shawarma with a generous serving of salad and hummus as well as pita and garlic sauce. The chicken and beef were both fantastic; both tasty and tender. The only complaint I have is the kafta kebab was a little overcooked and thus dry. The pita was okay but also a little dry.Reasonable price for a generous portion. Team is quiet but welcoming. Would definitely come back if in the area."

Papa K's Mediterranean Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.7 (334) • $$

"Came in on Friday nite, what a hidden gem! I ordered the chicken and beef plate which was $17.99. It's a bit pricy but kid you not...it's worth the price. The plate is big enough to share with two people. The meats are tender and flavorful. The rice is just cooked right with good taste of salad on the side. My partner ordered the falafel salad which was full of flavor also. Falafel isn't dry and not overly oily or heavy dressing. It came with a basket of pita bread huge portion. We can't wait to go back!"

DonerG Turkish & Mediterranean Grill - Long Beach

★★★★☆ 4.3 (738) • $$

"I stopped by here for a quick lunch since I happened to be near The Hangar Food Hall in Long Beach. I wanted something lighter and not super greasy, so I went for Mediterranean food. DonerG Turkish & Mediterranean Grill is a family-owned and fast-casual restaurant specializing in Turkish cuisine. Currently, they have five locations - Irvine, Anaheim (flagship location), Santa Ana, Lake Forest, and this one in Long Beach.[Parking]: Parking at The Hangar Food Hall isn't always super easy, but visitors can usually find a spot with a little patience and some circling around the nearby area. Parking tends to be more crowded on weekends.[Menu]: They offer several signature dishes including the Istanbowl, Pita Sandwich, Doner Saltado, and Doner Kebab Plate. Customers can also customize their orders in three steps: #1 choose your base - options include pita sandwich, wrap, fladenbrot, doner kebab rice plate, or doner kebab salad plate. #2 top it off - select from fresh salads, spreads, or sauces. #3 pick your protein with beef, chicken, or falafel.***Istanbowl (Rice, Beef & Chicken Döner Kebab, Red Cabbage, Onions, Parsley, Shepherd's Salad, Falafel & Pita Bread - $15): It was actually a pretty bowl as the bowl was packed with almost every protein they offer. The falafel had a slight spicy kick and the pita bread was nicely toasted. One downside is the bowl came with no sauce even though each item supposedly includes two sauces. Unfortunately I didn't get any sauces.***DonerG is a solid food option within The Hangar Food Hall. A solid 4.5-star on food quality, but I'm knocking it down slightly due to the missing sauces. That being said, I certainly wouldn't mind revisiting this place and trying other options like the pita sandwich."

Georgie's Mediterranean Cuisine

★★★★★ 4.5 (66) • $$

"Running errands and needed lunch. Beautiful clean spot with super friendly staff. I needed a recommendation of food. The young man offered his suggestion and that is how I decided on the chicken kabob. Nice chunks of chicken on a huge bed of rice. Two sides come with it, I chose hummus and dolmas. Yummy! The falafel bowl comes with 6 pieces of. On rice it is super filling and delicious. The falafel pieces were tasty. The pickles were the perfect accompaniment with the food. I would eat here again."

Panini Kabob Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (494) • $$

"Food: 4 starsPrice and Quantity: 5 starsService: 3 starsI totally understand why there is always either a lot of customers waiting to be seated, and what the hype is about. Every time I had passed by, or was in the area, there were always a crowd of people, so I knew I had to put it on my "to try" list - though it took me a few years to visit, until Black Friday (of all days). As I was waiting for my friends to arrive (which I purposefully arrived 15-mins early to see if I could add my name to the "possible" waitlist), the restaurant started to fill up by 12:30 pm (both the interior and the patio seating). We opted to sit outside as the inside was full, and it was a bit more "airy" outside as well.Hummus Trio (A Must) $9.99Combination of Garbanzo, Spicy Red Bell Pepper Hummus (switched out for Tzatziki), and Edamame Hummus. Blended with Chopped Garlic and Olive Oil Mixed with Fresh-Squeezed Lemon Juice.Charbroiled Chicken Shish Kabob $16.99Charbroiled Wayne Farms Fresh Tenders with No Antibiotics.

(TRUE VEGAN) Served with Grilled Artisan Bread.Ordering was fast, and the food came out as expected, with the Hummus Trio arriving first. With the cooler weather, 2 (out of 3) of us also asked for hot water with lemon, which they also never refilled... good thing I had water in my bag as I was getting thirsty. When the entrees were brought out, I was surprised at the portions! Those are not 1-person entrees, they are totally shareable and I was amazed at the affordability of it! (Just the other week, I had Mediterranean down the street - which I will not name the restaurant, the to-go portion was like a child's meal and it cost me in the $20's for an entrée and the quality was not even up there.) I had the Charbroiled Chicken Shish Kabob and the chicken pieces were very tender and I loved the grilled vegetables. The Mediterranean Greek Salad was fresh and very tasty. I do wish the pita bread in the Humus Trio was a bit warmer, but it probably got cold as it was sitting on the table, outside on the patio.Everything tasted delicious (quality) and we all had food (to share) or for dinner. I would most definitely return and try the many other dishes that caught my eye. Great place to meet up with friends and catch up as well. Service is a bit on the younger side, but they are very kind. Due to the smaller storefront, I see why there could be a wait for a table, so expect a wait during busy times. Parking can also be a bit difficult with the amount of storefronts in this plaza."

Moonlight Pizza & Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.4 (338) • $

"My personal favorite local pizza spot, good value, delicious cheese, and I really like the dough. Used to always get a pizza here to share with my parents. I don't eat doughy pizza anymore, and the dough here is nice and thin and tasty almost like pita. Family run spot, interior is dated, but I don't care, since they don't charge bougie prices and I order for takeout."

Pita & Basil

★★★★★ 4.7 (118) • $$

"Thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I was in the area for an appointment and wanted something quick to pick up and share with my toddler. This was perfect. I enjoy Mediterranean food so this hit the spot. I created my own bowl and decided on a wrap for my MIL to share with my BIL. You can choose half and half on the protein, add on as much or as little veggies, and top it with your favorite hummus or salad. Service was friendly. They were busy making online orders but took the time to explain everything to me. I'll be back!"

The Castle Mediterranean Grill

★★★★★ 4.7 (84)

"We loved our experience at the restaurant. The food was delicious, grilled meat can be a little spicy so if you don't like it spicy just mention that when ordering. The service was great, and my daughter and nieces loved the decor. They have freshly baked bread which we loved. Prices very reasonable and the menu has good offerings. We'll definitely be back and will bring our friends.Also must note the restaurant owner also owns a butchery across the street called Jenin Meat Market!"

New Amsterdam

★★★★☆ 4.4 (31)

"New Amsterdam in East Village had their soft opening tonight and we were there.We arrived about 5pm, a few seats were open so we grabbed a table for 2 inside. You order first then grab a seat. They had live music outside on the patio which was nice. Inside was really hopping inside, busy, busy, busy. Being their soft opening they were doing well, not too crazy. Their opening consisted of a small part of the restaurant, I believe the entire location will be open when they have the main opening.Food: we started with the Beets Caesar - tender beets, charred avocado, lettuce and cotija. Very refreshing, I could've made a meal out of the salad.Fish & Chips - fish, fries, seasoned cabbage, tarter sauce & homemade hot sauce. This was my meal. The fish was buttery, flakes and melted in my mouth. The batter on the fish was one of the best I've had. Flavorful, crisp, not greasy or oily at all. The hot sauce had a kick and very tasty.Summer Cookout - steak, corn pudding, summer veg, chimichuri. My wife had this one. Small tender piece of steak, vegetables were cooked nicely. Would have liked a larger portion but it was cooked very well.Falafel - tahini. Our appetizer, 6 pieces, good size, filling and tasty but could have used a sauce.They had several amazing looking desserts but we were to stuffed to try any but we got the photos. I ordered ice tea to drink but they did not have any, they actually took the time to make some for me. The service was good. When you take into consideration it was a soft opening, there will always be mistakes but we personally didn't witness any. Everyone was very nice, welcoming and really seemed to enjoy their jobs. We will definitely be back. WELCOME TO EAST VILLAGE!!!"

Athens West

★★★★☆ 3.8 (426) • $

"Wow the food here was super good! Normally I prefer Middle Eastern food over Greek food but the Greek food here was top notch and super flavorful! I ordered the 2 kebab plate for $16.99 and paid the $2.50 up charge to get a steak kebab in addition to the chicken kebab. Both kebabs were perfectly cooked and very flavorful. The steak was medium and tender and not overcooked at all - it was perfect! I also liked how there were red peppers and onions layered with the kebab. So tasty! The chicken was also perfect. The stars of the show in addition to the kebabs were the side dishes that came with it: orzo pasta (DELICIOUS!), tzatziki sauce (oh soooo flavorful! I wiped the container clean it was so good!), and a really delicious greek salad with kalamata olives, feta cheese, onions, cucumbers, a peppercini and lettuce with a really yummy dressing. They had multiple slices of pita bread as well which was soft and super fresh. Overall, this was a super delicious meal and I think this restaurant deserves 5 stars. I will FOR SURE come back here! I also noticed many people getting takeout too. There's plenty of seating inside and they give free cups for water. The ambiance is casual but nice. I'm so glad I tried this restaurant and can't wait to return!"

Tahini House Mediterranean Grill

★★★★★ 4.8 (38)

"Food: 4*Service: 5*Ambiance: 3*Located in a strip mall easy to miss. Stopped by this place for lunch due to Yelp. I ordered the gyro lunch plate special with salad, tabbouleh, and hummus. The gyro was a deconstructed one with the gyro meat over a salad. Pita was on the side. The meat was good, the salad was tart and delicious. The pita was hard as a rock, no matter if I warmed it up or not. The tabbouleh was tangy and good, the hummus was creamy and delicious. Service was fast and friendly. in all, I would return again."

Rimal Snack

★★★★☆ 4.3 (13)

"Nice addition to little Arabia. I ordered chicken shawarma wrap and zinger sandwich. Both were tasty but I enjoyed the chicken shawarma the most. I personally would like to see the traditional breading on the zinger sandwich (sub bread) and shrock for the shawarma instead of tortilla. But overall great experience. Very clean place and nice place to just grab a quick meal with a friend."

Kabab Grill Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.5 • $$

"Kebab Grill Restaurant was right across my hotel in Westminster, CA. Just had to walk across cross the street. Menu looks rather large but really it's a few main protein separated into a few choices. I attempted to get at least 10 percent of their entire menu in my belly lol. Decided to get the 3 piece lamb combo. Asked it if I go swap 1 lamb skewer for 1 beef skewer, request was granted with no up charge. Perfect. Go my sides, hummus, pita, and their Turkish Salad. Lamb kabob so tasty and tender. The beef has flavor but wasn't as tender as the lamb. The sides, spot on in the flavor department. On the way out, I decide to ask for 1 meat pie just because it was calling my name lol. Interestingly delicious. I would compare it to empanadas but it wouldn't do itself justice. This meat pie was in a league of its own. Just try it. All in all, the food was worth going back for. The next day I actually returned to try other items on their menu. I do apologize, no pics because my phone was back at the hotel charging. I ended up purchasing the lentils soup and the lamb sandwich. Perfect match. In closing, I highly recommend this establishment. The reviews speak for themselves. Until next time, eat till your heart is content."

"We ordered the 20 kebob meal for a party and it was delicious. Everything came packaged well. The salad was fresh and came with a wonderful dressing, everyone loved the pita, hummus, and rice. The Kebobs were perfectly cooked , came with plenty of garlic sauce, and were served in a way that you could take as much or as little as you'd like. I had ordered some pizza just in case some people preferred that -- not one person ate it-- everything else was too good! Also, try the spicy potatoes-- we added a half tray on and we're so glad we did!The restaurant itself is warm and welcoming, and I was helped to my car. 10/10!"

The Halal Guys

★★★★☆ 4.1 • $$

"The food here is bomb! My go-to order is the gyro and chicken combo, and I always ask for white sauce and BBQ sauce--mixing them together takes it to the next level. The flavors are spot on, the portions are generous, and everything is always fresh.Parking is decent since it's in a big shopping mall, so you don't have to stress about finding a spot. The service is quick, and the food never disappoints. If you're craving a solid Mediterranean experience, this place is a must-try. Definitely one of my favorites in Long Beach!"
