Z Garden

this is hands-down, my favorite spot for Mediterranean food all of the west side. And I've lived here for 25 years. You can't beat the prices, the quality of the food and the fast service. I also had them two of my events and they handled the whole catering process from ordering to delivery flawlessly.. I recommend them to everyone I know.

I've been coming here for years. Just awesome healthy food with very friendly and welcoming staff. Also, the ambiance calm and relaxing. Furthermore, they have a keto menu, and zero sugar drink options. I love coming here.

Great service, great food. Solid 4.5 on 5 experience.We tried the Falafel bowl and Shrimp skewer with sides of rice and hummus.Everything was fresh, hot and delicious, despite this being a takeout order. The shrimp was grilled perfectly, and was succulent with the garlic sauce. Falafel was one of the best we had. Not too dense or oily, just the right crunch. With the tahini that had some lemon, it added oomph to the meal.There was enough shrimp, but the falafel bowl felt a little light with only 3 falafels. On hindsight, we should've added more.If you are in the sunset/ocean park area of Santa Monica and craving some quick, excellent Mediterranean, Z garden will provide a flavorful experience.We will definitely be back.Tip: Free parking outside the restaurant. Order online directly with restaurant, they have coupons for first time customers.

I was lost in the area and my phone had died so I decided I needed to find a bar or restaurant to get my phone charged. Z garden seemed like an oasis in the desert. I had the Schwarma plate generous portions really good food and their classic Lebanese garlic sauce was amazing. For what you pay you will be served a generous portion.

Found this Mediterranean spot that is convenient to grab. Highlights of the menu:1. Hummus 2. Pita bread & dipping oil 3. Fried cauliflower4. Steak kebab plate 5. Lamb shank

My daughter and I felt like a little Mediterranean so we chose Z Garden! We ordered the combo (beef, chicken and lady's kabobs) with rice, babaghannouj and baklava. The combo was excellent, I don't even know which meat I liked best as they were equally flavorful and tender. The rice was also great, seasoned and perfectly cooked. The quantity of the sauces was impressive. The baklava was a tasty flakey treat. We door dashed this and it held up well in the travel time. Next time we will dine in the restaurant to get the full experience. We really enjoyed it!
