2 months agoBeat hummus I've had was here! I've been to many places , many restaurants, some I forget to leave reviews about cuz it wasn't worth the effort tbh . But this place made me rethink and revisit the fact that I've never had good/great/amazing hummus before. Something about this hummus was so much better , fresh, and delicious. I ended up ordering the chicken and beef share plate for 2, it definitely feeds two and some, we had enough for left overs as well. The food the next day was still so good and fresh. I ate plenty of food and still felt great to play some volleyball with the fam without a stomach ache or tummy grumble lol. A most stop and eat place for me and my lady in the future now, and if youre wondering they do cater . The menu was so simple and pleasant to look at and read . Don't worry if you were like me and never had good hummus then this is the place for you and your family !!

8 months agoLocated in an older strip mall, it's easy to miss this place. The good reviews we found on Google led us here. The cashier agreed that the 3-meat combo was the best value on their menu. The volume of food it came with was indeed impressive. The meats were good, grilled perfectly. The rice was subpar, for sure, made with parboiled rice. Not very authentic. The hummus was decent, the pita was commercially bought, served in its original packaging. My daughter enjoyed the salad, which I was ok with, but not too impressed. I enjoyed the baklava which was generously portioned, not swimming in syrup, flaky and delicious. The service is fast-foodish and the wait for our food was reasonable. Even when opting to dine in, our food was served bagged and in to go containers. Don't expect to be wowed. You will leave full at least.

a year agoKafta kabob was tiny. The last time I got food from here I had leftover kabob. Today the kabobs were yummy but too skinny like hot dogs. And the rice, while tasty wasn't middle eastern.. more like Uncle Ben's.... Hummus is fantastic though!

a month agoPretty solid place. I like my food very specific like a really cuminy hummus or really tart tzatzikiโฆ.thats the only reason this wasnโt a 5 star place for me but it was still REALLY good! Definitely coming back here!

3 years agoLocated on the corner of Malachite and Foothill blvd, in the same shopping center as Autozone, Mezzaterranean is a family owned restaurant specializing in Lebanese food. I recently had their beef kabob plate, and it was so good, I was left speechless. Speechless, not because i didn't have the words. Speechless because, I was too busy eating. The chunky cubes of beef were perfectly cooked. Every piece was soft, tender, and lean (no fat whatsoever). Combined with the flavorful rice, hummus, and salad, the beef kabob platter was nearly a perfect meal. The next dish I want to try will be the Shawarma Fries. Check this place out. They opened in 2014 and have a sister location in West Covina.
