Recently discovered this place... Let's just say I've had it twice this week and it's only Tuesday 🤣. We got the chicken plate and beef plate. Comes with either rice pilaf, lemon vinaigrette salad or you can do a combo of both. The rice is soft. Their hummus is delicious with their fluffy pita bread. Their garlic toum is very flavorful and has a nice spice kick at the end. Meats are soft and tender. I really liked their cucumber and tomato salad as well. I recommend ordering online. They have a rewards program for online orders and your first order you can use the promo code "LOCAL" for 20% off. If you order in store, there is no way to track rewards yet. You earn 10 points per $1 spent and the points are redeemed for food items.
The guy that took my order his name was AHMAD. He was friendly and helpful. The food was outrageously good. My daughter thought so too. We split a trio dinner. I ordered a side salad extra but we couldn’t eat it. We were so full from the dinner. The chicken and the beef we’re so tender. The rice was very tasty. The hummus was good. The bread was thick and very yummy. This will be our Mediterranean place to go to. I found parking very easily right out front.
This place is the real deal. Authentic food prepared with quality ingredients. Get the Pops Plate if you can't decide...its like a kabob combo. The gyros are yum. Get rice, it's fluffy and buttery. 5/5. The pita 5/5 is the fluffy airy kind. The place is new and hasn't installed its decor, but it's got modern upscale takeout vibe but a clutch of nice small tables. And a wall length bench. Owner/chef is Danny...very personable and friendly. So happy to have awesome Mediterranean food in the SGV. Danny gave us a sample of the falafel .... omg, so good, not greasy so crunchy on outside and moist inside...can't wait to order as a dinner or in a bowl...oh and the hummus is so beautifully balanced between creaminess and oil...oh and you get a packet of sumac to sprinkle on veggies or rice. A lovely earthy herb, under appreciated. Thanks Danny for introducing us to this new flavor. We will be back to use our 10 percent discount you gave us.
I met Danny one of the owners while I was at work and he was such a chill guy, he told me to come try his restaurant down the street so I went. When I say this is quality food I mean it’s quality. Everything tastes fresh and premium. I got the mix beef and chicken shawarma plate and it was seasoned to perfection. One cashier was handling like 15 people at once perfectly multitasking while holding a conversation in Arabic with me. Amazing service and Huge portions too; I couldn’t even finish my plate in one sitting. Amazing tahini sauce and lovely atmosphere. Definitely recommend this place to anyone who likes Mediterranean
Stopped by this cozy little Mediterranean spot, and wow—it did not disappoint! The chicken and beef skewers were super juicy and packed with flavor, and the rice, hummus, and that creamy garlic sauce pulled everything together perfectly. It’s the kind of food that feels homemade but with a little extra magic. We will definitely be back again!
We stopped by Pop's Mediterranean for dinner, and the food was fantastic! Everything was well seasoned, and the portions were generous. The baklava was absolutely delicious — one of the best I’ve had. The restaurant is small and seems to focus mostly on takeout, so the atmosphere isn’t the main draw. There was a bit of a wait because of all the online orders, but it was totally worth it for the quality of the food. Highly recommend if you’re craving great Mediterranean dishes!
Wow!! Went back after 6 months, this place still feels shockingly good!!! The pita, the kebab, the hummus. I’m in tears. Front Desk person Garo K was super nice without being overly pretentious. Sorry didn’tip you today.
I ordered from Uber Eats, and oh my goodness! Food was fresh, still hot. The steak was tender, well marinated and so delicious. Hummus and pita bread…yummy! They even thought out every detail, making sure utensils and a little baggie with garlic sauce, hot peppers, hot sauce and sumac seasoning was included. Definitely 10 out of 10, thank you! I would have posted a photo, but my food didn’t stand a chance 😋
While visiting my Bff, we decided to have a Mediterranean lunch and tried this new place in Alhambra. The beef and chicken kebabs were so tender and tasty, as were the gyro and falafel. The hummus and toum were delicious. They make their own Pita bread, thick and fluffy, and come out still warm. Everything was so delicious. I will come again if I'm in the area.
Recommend 100%! For the price you’re paying, it can easily be split into two meals to save some money. A much better alternative for those who would like a bowl but not prefer Chipotle. Chicken was cooked properly and tender, portion size was very generous. Staff were very friendly and parking on site.
