    Side of falafels
    Laura S.

    We always get great friendly service here. They make a point of making you feel welcome. The location is nice, there's seating in the shade, the food is good. It's a nice quick stop so you can have a bite and get back to time at the beach, or in the art galleries, at the shops,...

    *** Cash only, but has an ATM with $1 fee and $60 cash max *** Adonis Mediterranean Grill is one of few grab-and-go spots in the busiest part of Laguna Beach (between Broadway St & Laguna Ave on PCH). This spot used to be Gallo's Italian Deli and became Adonis in 2012. [Parking]: Nothing easy when it comes to parking near the main beach area even after 8 PM. I got lucky and found a public parking spot at Lot 3, but I still had to pay $3 for 28 minutes. Fo public parking lot 3, the rate is $6.45 per hour from 8 AM to 9 PM. Place permit face up on dash. [Atmosphere]: The shop has a small outdoor patio seating section. Restroom is not available. [Menu]: Three wraps (chicken, gyro, or falafel) with combo options available (combo = additional french fries with tzatziki garlic dip and soda can / water bottle). No wraps? They also have 5 plate options (vegan option included). *** Gyro Wrap (gyro meats slices wrapped in toasted pita with tzatziki garlic, lettuce, tomato, pickles & white cabbage - $15.78): Gyro meat tasted a bit dry but the wrap had good flavor. Portion was generous enough. *** Gyro wrap was a bit pricey, but overall a convenient spot for a quick bite without having to spend big bucks on fancy dine-in restaurants in Downtown Laguna Beach.

    Delicious gyro combo

    Such a beautiful beach front spot run by a sweet family. It was so hard to decide between the shawarma and the gyro, they were both so fresh and tasty. Shawarma is usually dry wherever I go but here it was very moist and the gyro portion was amazing. Very quick service and fresh fries and meats. Will definitely recommend to our friends and family and be coming back for more!

    This was my first time trying a gyro wrap, and it was so good!! The meat is very fresh and stored like al pastor, very nice. There is outdoor seating on this deck like area which is very adorable and aesthetically pleasing. The staff here is also super friendly. 10/10 will be coming back!

    Amazing food and great service! Such an amazing experience! A view of the water plus a cute patio! 10000000/10! Will recommend to everyone in the area!

    Best Gyro ever!

    I've been a regular at Adonis Mediterranean Grill for years now and hereby proclaim it's serving the best Gyro Wrap ($14.95) on the west coast. Alex, the owner, is the most likable and friendly guy I've met in years. He handcrafts your wrap with whatever you want...lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, white and red cabbage and extra garlic tzatziki please! You can pick from the huge spits of fresh made gyro meat or white meat chicken. He makes your gyro, then wraps it in foil and heats it up in a Panini press. It's absolutely delicious. You can eat it there or take it to go and the best deal in Laguna Beach as far as I'm concerned. I did not order the fresh made French fries ($4.65) today but I know they taste great so don't be afraid to get those too. This is a solid 5-Star super casual restaurant in downtown Laguna and definitely worth a stop. FYI - It's not a sit down restaurant but more of a small stand up restaurant with stools and a ocean view. CASH ONLY!

    Chicken Wrap

    My sister and brother in law absolutely love this place. When they're in the area, they have to stop by and eat it. I met Alex, great guy, who is the owner, very welcoming! I think food was okay. I would give them another try.

    Best of the best! Chicken wrap was bomb! Super friendly! Great people working there!

    Best of the best! Staff is so friendly ! Food is bomb, recommend the chicken wrap with everything on it! Not too crowded on a Sunday evening at the beach!

    I live in Orange County and every time I go to Laguna Beach, I always stop by Adonis for a gyro wrap, and it's a tradition to bring along a friend to eat our gyro wraps at the beach!! The meat is juicy and flavorful and the pickled red cabbage and other vegetables and sauces make the wrap unforgettable! The chicken shawarma and falafel are also excellent. The guys that work there always greet me with a big smile and make me feel welcome. I definitely recommend you stop by Adonis when you are in Laguna Beach.

    Yummy fries. Wish they were hotter though.

    Quick late lunch and Adonis Mediterranean Grill was the perfect spot. We ordered a gyro platter and chicken wrap. We watched as they were prepared right in front of us, by a nice gentleman who we think was the owner. Great flavors for both meals. Delicious. My chicken wrap had tender and not dry well prepared chicken. Great pita and veggies inside too. I love that you get to choose exactly what you want with the offerings in the case. Hubby liked his shawarma wrap too because of the nice flavors. Fries could have been more fresh but they were still good. It's primarily a walk-up and order kind of place, with some seating. We took our food to the beach! We would absolutely return and try other entrees. Cash only, but there's conveniently an atm machine inside for those who need it.

    New patio!

    Always the best! Every time I come into town for a beach day we love stopping by Adonis for a quick bite to eat. Food is always A+ and staff is amazing! Ten stars!

    Me with the awesome owner.
    Francesca H.

    Love this place! The herbs always taste so fresh in the Gyro wraps. It's a great place to get a quick bite to eat and then walk to the beach after.

    Gyro Wrap. Best gyro I've ever had and the tzatziki is deliciously punchy

The salmon was cooked well, and everything else was enjoyable. The only issue was with the carrots and vegetables. They seemed to have a noticeable chlorine-like smell and taste, as if they had been cooked or rinsed in heavily chlorinated water. It was quite noticeable and affected the overall experience. Other than that, everything was great. I hope the restaurant can look into this, as it would make an already good dining experience even better.

Got the Penne Pasta Mozambique which was loaded with wonderful flavors and did not disappoint. The cheese they put on it melts in the pasta and gives it a unique flavor profile and unites the dish. Definitely worth trying. Everything on the menu and what my party ordered looked incredible and makes me want to come back soon. But not only is the service excellent, upstairs on Sunday nights they have a live reggae band and it's such a fun place to drink and listen to amazing music with friends. I'm not sure what took me so long to learn about this place, but here I am, and I totally can't wait to return!

    Food is good, service was okay, speed was disappointingly slow…read more I get that these places make their food to order so I expected a wait, but they have the word "express" in their business name so I had a false expectation. Needless to say I sat there waiting for my two to-go orders for what felt like an eternity. A lot of people flowed in after me and they were all just waiting, it was weird since it was empty when I walked in and then seeing 6 tables of people with no food. I thought I ordered the cheaper lunch special of chicken koobideh and beef koobideh, but he punched in the full portion instead. I didn't really mind as it just became extra food for dinner. But I feel like if someone is going in at the beginning of lunch time, they would be looking to order lunch menu stuff? I guess I can't expect people to do what I my logic would do. The two koobidehs is pretty much the same thing I order at any of these places because I prefer ground meat that's tender and juicy and this place did not disappoint. They were cooked to perfections with just a little crisp on the meats. Not much else to say since I only had a basic meal....meals

    We had it to go, so I can't speak much about the dine-in experience, but I will say the service…read morewasn't the friendliest. We ordered the combo beef and chicken plate, the beef gyro plate, and two falafel on the side. The falafel didn't look impressive, but they were surprisingly excellent--moist, flavorful, and honestly better than Sababa's. I'll definitely order six next time. The gyro plate was solid, not overly greasy or heavy, and the seasoning was just right. I wasn't a fan of the hummus, which had a bitter aftertaste, but my partner liked the tanginess, so that may come down to personal preference. On the combo plate, the chicken stood out: juicy and tender. The beef seemed to be a leaner cut and was a bit dry. I'd probably skip this particular beef kebab next time and try a different one. The saffron rice and grilled tomato were a nice complement. The plate also came with jumbo naan, served warm and smelling amazing, definitely a highlight.
