I stopped by Mediterranean Cafe recently and was honestly blown away. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and friendly, and the food came out fresh and beautifully prepared. I ordered the salad, and it was anything but ordinary. Every bite was packed with flavor crisp vegetables, fresh ingredients, and the perfect balance of seasoning and dressing. It's rare for a salad to be the star of the meal, but this one absolutely was. You can tell they don't cut corners when it comes to quality. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself was clean, comfortable, and had a relaxed atmosphere that made it easy to enjoy the experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Whether you're stopping in for a quick lunch or a casual dinner, this place delivers. If you're looking for fresh Mediterranean food with generous portions and incredible flavor, Mediterranean Cafe is definitely worth a visit. I'll absolutely be back to try more of the menu! read more

I don't usually write reviews but this place was actually so good. I got the salmon croissant and it was perfect. Buttery, flaky, and the salmon tasted really fresh. Not heavy, just really well made. The owner is such a sweet lady, super welcoming and kind. You can tell she really cares. They also have Armenian-style dishes which is really cool, and the desserts in the front all look amazing (I regret not getting one). Definitely coming back. read more

Hours need to be updated. Wasn't open at said time on Yelp. Disappointing looking up places to eat on yelp, and going out of your way to to get there and they're closed. Update hours so people know not to waste their time. read more

Went to Cela Cafe last night for the first time very since my husband and I love Mediterranean food and are also trying to eat a bit more healthy. This place was absolutely phenomenal. Let's start with the service shall we. The two people working were incredibly helpful at helping us navigate the menu as well as providing some great suggestions. This is counter service but since we ate there on their patio they brought our food and even set real silverware and our plates down for us. Next let's talk about the ambiance. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is small but where this place shines is their back door patio. It's super cute, warm, and very inviting. The person working even turned a heater on for us.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lastly, the food. Omg delicious I had the chicken shawarma plate (pictured) and my husband had the beef shawarma plate. Both were amazing and very delicious. All in all, it was great experience and we will absolutely return. read more

It was alright. It's a few minor issues that I wished to change but overall, it's tasty.

After my partner purchased a drink, we were told we weren't customers and screamed at instead of spoken to respectfully. Rude lady, ugly spirit. read more

Absolutely loved Cela Cafe. This place is the real deal. The food is so good and genuinely authentic you can taste the care and tradition in every dish.

Stopped in after the Holiday in the Park event and it was the perfect place to wind down with good food. All of the team members are friendly and make sure you're comfortable and feel welcome. They recommended the chicken kebab plate and it was a good portion to share for two. We opted to sit in the patio section in the back and it was really nice to get away from all the busy-ness in the streets and have a secluded spot to eat. Staff were attentive to keeping spaces clean and bathrooms were very nice. They were also dog-friendly! read more

This sweet cafe is in the heart of Magnolia Park and it is a must visit. The staff were so warm and welcoming. There is a variety of delicious items on the menu. But the best thing about Cela Cafe is definitely the ambiance. The outdoor patio is so relaxing. It's perfect for a solo lunch or a lovely group dinner. Highly recommend this spot. read more

Love Cela! My go-to is the Falafel Wrap which is full of falafel, tahini, lemon dressing, cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce. The pickled veggies on the side are *chefs kiss*. Service is fast, so it's the perfect place to grab a bite quickly to go or on a quick work break. They have lovely seating indoors or a gorgeous courtyard outside in the back. Staff is so sweet and there are so many options on the menu, including vegan - of course. Love a solid spot for falafel! read more

Always had their Lunch/Dinner and finally had a chance to stop for their breakfast menu. Fantastic Mediterranean espresso with some light cookies to start. Strong and just a small bit of sweetness (a no-sweet option is available). I had the Shakshuka eggs Very reminiscent of a Huevos Rancheros and honestly, this was so much better than any huevos rancheros I've had at any Mexican restaurant. Spicy (as requested) and very savory with the perfect easy/medium egg in a cast iron. I'd eat this every morning!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]For the espresso alone in their outdoor covered back patio is cause enough for an early morning stop with my dog (yes - pet friendly!) to enjoy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I really do hope to see this place busier as the staff is some of the nicest people I've met. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Located in a private area away from the busy Magnolia road, this is a nice place to sit and relax and enjoy good food at any time of the day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Not trying to be mean, but not worth $87. They need to fire the cook. Lule chicken dry & cold. The beef shawarma tacos came out dry & cold , no flavor. The chicken salad salty & the chicken breast dry . The only thing that was a 9/10 was the fries & the hummus. The main protein should be the high light not the sauces to cover up the dry meat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What's even more disappointing as it wasn't even busy , there was literally two people inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] What was the excuse of the meat being so dry and coming out cold . read more

New management was rude and charged me $3 for hot sauce. Ridiculous. I won't be eating here ever again

This is for a delivery order, so i can only speak to the food quality, packaging and value. Food taste & quality: 5/5 Cost vs Value: 3/5 Packaging: 4/5 First the good, we all enjoyed our food. The gyro was very tasty with a nice amount of tatziki, and my request asking for no parsley was honored. Shwarma was difficult to unwrap, paper was stuck on the inside and looked as though it was grilled/pressed with the paper on it which jammed pieces of the paper into the folds of the shwarma. Once unwrapped, it was delicious. Chicken luleh kabob plate was good. Kids chicken was good. The only real issue I have is that an $18+(menu price not delivery) gyro or shwarma should be bigger or come with fries. And the paper issue with the shwarma was just odd. read more

The food was very fresh, and not greasy at all. I had the Pesto Chicken Wrap, and it was delicious. I could eat that every day. My sensitive stomach even liked it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The lovely outdoor covered seating in the back had such a nice and peaceful atmosphere, with the sound of water from a fountain.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will be coming back with my boyfriend. I love this place. There is a friendly new owner who has been there for 6 months, and who really improved the quality of the food since the last owner. read more

Great! The food tastes incredibly fresh and clearly homemade, which makes such a difference. You can tell care and quality go into every dish. Everything I tried was delicious, well-prepared, and satisfying. I'll definitely be coming back--highly recommend! read more

From now on, I know where to stop before getting on my Southwest flight home. I had the chicken shawarma to go. I have to admit I was a little concerned that the chicken breast would be dry, but it was moist and delicious. If you're heading to the Burbank airport and want something to take on your flight, and not $$$ airport food, may I suggest doing a grab-and-go from Cela Cafe, they're less than 2 miles from the airport.

Cela Café is an absolute gem! Everything here is amazing and so delicious. The owner, Cela, along with all her chefs and staff, are incredibly kind, welcoming, and friendly--it truly feels like a place made with love. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the back patio is one of the coziest spots ever, with TVs, heat lamps, and the perfect vibe to relax and enjoy a meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And the pastries... wow. Hands down some of the most amazing pastries on the planet. I was lucky enough to be there while fresh baklava and other pastries were coming out of the oven--so good I couldn't even remember their names because I ate everything . She bakes fresh daily, and some of these pastries are genuinely divine. The food is incredible too. As a vegetarian, I love that there are so many great options, and their French fries are so yummy. I truly love coming here. Thank you, Cela, and thank you to your café for all that you do--you've created something really special. read more

Cela Cafe in Burbank is on a whole different level under its new ownership. I've been coming here before, and I can confidently say the transformation is impressive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The food quality, presentation, service, and overall atmosphere have noticeably improved.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everything feels more intentional, more refined, and more consistent. The flavors are incredible, fresh ingredients, perfectly balanced seasoning, and generous portions. You can tell there's real pride behind the kitchen now. The new owner has done an outstanding job elevating this place. His passion, attention to detail, and commitment to quality truly show. It's not just a meal, it's an experience. Both husband and wife owners work extremely hard to provide the best quality to their customers. If you haven't been recently, go back. If you've never been, now is the time. Burbank needed this upgrade. Highly recommend!!! read more

I'm a fan of Mediterranean food, but this plate was unfortunately nothing to write home about. The falafel was rather dry and the portions were small for the $20+ I spent on the plate. I wish there was a larger amount of salad instead of rice and lavash to balance out the dryness. This is an order at the counter restaurant with no service and a self-serve water station. The interior has a few tables and they have a patio in the back, but even with the tarp overhead, it got extremely hot outside. Sustainability note: All disposable food ware. read more

Good food. Way too expensive. I realize that every place is expensive now after Covid but at the very least they could offer a free drink from the soda fountain. I actually think all places should do that. read more

Super amazing croissant breakfast sandwich ! Huge and so tasty. I also love the spicy Cela wrap!

They are under new ownership, but the food is still excellent. Great hospitality from the owners. They have authentic home baked goods and coffee now too, and it sounds like they will begin serving breakfast in the new year. Definitely a spot to check out as they grow and change. read more

Due to a food advertiser on IG, I decided to drive to Cela Cafe to try a combo plate with chicken skewer and beef shwarma $20.95. Service was mediocre as I my order took forever to be ready and no one was overly friendly for a fairly new establishment. Food was not worth the wait. As I was a bit disappointed with portion and quality of food. As instead of a skewer of chicken, it came with 2 chunks of chicken and some beef that taste dry, reheated and a bit old (see my pic). My food look nothing like what the Asian guy on IG was eating. Street parking, although I found a couple empty spaces at the bank next door. Few tables and chairs to dine in with nice decor. Perhaps, I caught them on an off day.... read more

$20 for a small shawarma sandwich that has piping hot lettuce in it. Not worth it. I feel like I burned $20

This was a random spot we chose to stop by in our short day trip to Burbank. We were met with two really kind employees who recommended some really great dishes and overall gave us great service. We were shocked, we were the only ones in the restaurant after trying the food! It was so fantastic. Our tummies were so full, and we left feeling warm and beautiful. read more

Great food, served by great people. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The seating in the back was nice and relaxing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend supporting this family.

Cela Cafe - Gyro Wrap with fries - Wraps Near Me - Burbank, California

An adorable locally-owned shop that offers your typical selection of Mediterranean food. I went with the gyro wrap because I can never resist pita wraps. This one came with extra tzatziki spread on the spice along with pickled veggies which are my favorite. The pita bread they used here was soft, fluffy, and addicting with the hummus. The hummus I mentioned came with the combo plate. For my protein, I ordered the chicken shawarma and beef shawarma that came on a bed of basmati rice. I found it interesting though that the pita bread they provided here was very different from the wrap. It was much more thin and dry so it definitely needed to be dipped to enjoy it. I also got the Mediterranean Chicken Salad, minus the olives, as recommended by the worker which was a fun twist on the usual since it was layered on top of hummus spread and topped with lemon vinaigrette dressing. They have both indoor and outdoor dining but I recommend sitting on the outdoor patio in the back since it's decorated to be like a backyard. It also has a TV if you're interested in watching while you eat. The food came out quickly and it's a good place for a quick bite or a place to hang out with friends. read more

Loved the pita sooo much, thank you for an incredible meal! read more
