One of our absolute favorite spots for Mediterranean food! Let's be real: perfectly cooked, delicious falafel is a 1-in-500 hit, and D'Vine Mediterranean absolutely nails it! The food here is consistently incredible. The lamb chops are hands down some of the best--perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. We also love the lentil soup, spicy potatoes, and tabbouleh. Honestly, everything we order is delicious, and the quality is consistently outstanding. We absolutely love eating here. Amazing food and generous hospitality. D'Vine is a true gem, and we're so happy to have found it. If you love Mediterranean food, do yourself a favor and come here. The lamb chops alone are worth the visit!
Wonderful returning here for lunch: so nice and cool, clean, well-appointed; with such friendly and attentive service! In love with the cauliflower hot mezze, so subtly and nicely spiced. And WTF!?: the falafel hot mezze is so unbelievably fluffy inside the satisfyingly crunchy exterior! My mouth is amazed! The salmon here is something we dream about, so it's wonderful to have its perfection again! The Batata Mediterranean is basically a huge baked potato with a chicken salad on top--my spouse who typically doesn't favor chicken shawarma loves was impressed. Delish. With lots of leftovers to take home and have again tonight!
D'Vine Mediterranean is one of those sleeper Long Beach spots that deserves more attention. We came in Thursday at 630p and had an excellent meal from start to finish. The falafel was brought out complimentary, which was such a nice touch, and it was fresh, crisp, and flavorful. We also shared the fried cauliflower. I had the lamb kabob plate with rice, pita, beets, and mutabal and he had the chicken shawarma plate with beets, hummus and rice-- everything tasted fresh and well seasoned. Service was a major highlight. Our server took great care of us throughout the meal and made the whole experience feel genuinely welcoming rather than transactional. To top it off, they also surprised us with a complimentary dessert, including baklava and a creamy rice pudding with pistachio, which was another very generous touch. D'Vine may not get as much attention as places like Ammatoli or Open Sesame, but it absolutely should be in that conversation. If you're looking for Mediterranean food in Long Beach, especially somewhere a little more under-the-radar with excellent service, don't overlook this place. We'll definitely be back.
Visiting my family here today--they ordered takeout from D'vine--and let me say they are aptly named because every bite was divine! I especially appreciated the garlic sauce to add to every bite of chicken kebab, the tabbouleh and the falafel with two sauces: tahini and a spicy sweet red sauce. The falafel was crispy even after the delay of eating takeout. All the meats :chicken kebab, chicken shawarma, lamb chops, and salmon were tender and cooked perfectly. The order was placed the night before and was ready on time as requested. Apparently when you order IN, the plating of the food is beautiful according to my brother. All I know is, I'll definitely order food from them again, because it was excellent!
I've been coming here forever, and they honestly never miss. In the past few years they've completely redone their interior - definitely ramping it up in terms of decor and ambiance. It's a great little spot with about 8 tables for you to enjoy your meal in or take it home to go The food is always consistently yummy and good portions for what you're paying. The steak, rice and pita are my top choices when I go in. Don't hesitate to ask for some baklava for dessert too, perfect crisp to sweet ratio. The staff is friendly and welcoming, happy to explain anything on the menu to you if you have questions. Great place!
Went here for an early Sunday dinner with the family after visiting MoLAA and HOLY MOLY, it was incredible. My only regret is that I do not live closer (I've set down roots all the way in San Diego county). My family and I shared cauliflower and mutabel and a complimentary falafel appetizer. Around the table, we ordered individual entrees which included more falafel, chicken kebab, salmon and lamb kebab. My husband has a rather particular palate and he was blown away by everything he tried. I loved trying new-to-me sides like the turshi and potato salad. In addition to the server's patience with us (our party of 5 can be a little much sometimes and tend to hold tables hostage), they were so lovely and provided us with complimentary dessert of rice pudding and baklava. It was all so good. Thank you for the perfect meal to end a fun family day. You had us at Shawarma! TL;DR: the food was so fresh, delicious and flavorful, the restaurant and bathrooms are comfortable and tidy and the service is welcoming and helpful! Note to Owner: D*Vine, please come down to Carlsbad! We're lacking flavor down here and NEED you!
I purchased a Clipper voucher via Groupon a while back and although it doesn't expire until August 7th I decided to use it. Tucked away in the Los Altos shopping center, this lil gem can be hard to find if you blink an eye (I am very familiar with the area but have never come across it). We were promptly greeted by our server whom told us to take a seat anywhere. We must have lucked out as there was only one other table occupied but it could be the fact that it was a Monday evening so it was not crowded. As 1st timers here, we informed the server about the Clipper voucher as he was familiar with it. We started off ordering the grape leaves from the cold apps menu. The server also brought us a complimentary serving of their homemade falafel balls. The grape leaves were so soft, chilled (came on a chilled plate with lettuce as garnishment) and tasty! The falafel was also very yummy with sauce drizzled over. Next up we ordered the chicken kabob skewer (1) plate which comes with rice and two sides (we chose Med salad along with hummus). Everything comes out a la carte so our server brought us our hummus, pita, and Med salad on separate plates and then the chicken kabob skewer (minus the skewer) comes out with the rice. Everything was so flavorful and delicious! The chicken was tender and the rice was very tasty and had some different spices added to it. The hummus was to die for as it was very creamy and not how some places prepare it very "waxy" like. Our server also brought us a complimentary dessert consisting of their homemade rice pudding and baklava and both were delish! We spoke with the server and he stated that this place used to be an express in/out restaurant mainly for take out orders and since the new owners took over they made it more appealing for dining in (cute decor and ambience). Prices are not bad either, and they also serve beer and wine. Parking is pretty easy with plenty of spots and not too congested. So happy to have discovered this gem as there have been a couple of Med restaurants that have closed in our hood and the other few remaining are just mediocre or too expensive. This place is definitely worth it!
I must start off saying this place is beautiful inside. I came here today to try the lamb and beef plate with rice, spicy hummus\pita bread and the sumac onions. Everything tasted delicous! The service was one of the best i had at any restaurant. They come to your table with water which is a nice touch. Victor who is one of the staff members here was the best and i loved his attitude and friendliness. He is a wonderful man. They have TV's a bathroom, outside seating which is nice. The meats were very favorful and easy to cut! The onions were seasoned well and the falafel plate was excellent! They have pepsi products here which is a bonus to me. I'm happy i stopped here! Yes, it's soo good i will be back again! Food rating. Lamb\beef plate 9.0\10 Falafel Plate 8.5\10
First time customer and I was highly impressed with how nice the restaurant is, quality of food and costumer service was excellent. Our waitress Allison provided us with the best recommendations and experience. If you enjoy Mediterranean food this is the place to be. Five stars for sure. Will be coming back with the family.
Great experience from start to finish friendly server, cute ambience, delicious food, ordered double protein plate. It came with two very large sides. Extremely satisfied.
The food, service and drinks were so good! First I started with a cucumber mint, it was very refreshing. Then we got some falafel, also delicious. I ordered the combo plate with the beef and chicken sharwama and my sides were the Mediterranean salad and cucumber yogurt salad. Everything I tried this evening was delicious. The environment was perfect for the occasion. The staff were very attentive.
We came here on a Sunday for lunch and absolutely loved it! Service, cleanliness, price, portion size and quality were all amazing. I had the 2 protein entree with the beef kebab and falafels. The steak was deliciously seasoned and tender (didn't even need a steak knife for it!) The falafels were crispy and good and the spicy hummus, cucumber yogurt, and pita bread it came with were wonderful! My dad tried the Sahara spritz and it was refreshing and yummy. We also had the cauliflower as an appetizer and the rice pudding for dessert and they were so good! Will definitely be coming back!
We came here for lunch. Beef kebab was not overly seasoned, I actually i can tasted the beef. My husband ordered lamb kebab, cooked perfectly. 2 sides for each order were quite generous and wonderful taste. Rice came the dish is ok, minor issue. Icing on the cake, they have complimentary appetizer and deserts. We definitely will return.

There's something special about seeing a favorite restaurant open a new chapter close to home. After first discovering D'Vine at its downtown Fullerton location several years ago, I was thrilled to learn it had expanded to Long Beach. Naturally, we had to pay a visit, and from the moment we walked through the door, the experience exceeded every expectation. We were welcomed warmly and seated immediately, setting the tone for an evening defined by exceptional hospitality. Our server thoughtfully guided us through the menu, offering recommendations that made choosing our meal both exciting and difficult. Then came an unexpected surprise: a complimentary falafel appetizer that was fresh, flavorful, and a wonderful introduction to the meal ahead. For our main course, we selected the steak and chicken kabob platter, accompanied by two cold mezza: a vibrant red beet salad and the mutabal, a silky roasted eggplant dip blended with yogurt and tahini. Every dish arrived beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare, the chicken was tender and expertly seasoned, and the rice was light, fluffy, and wonderfully aromatic. What truly elevated the evening, however, was the service. Our server checked in at just the right moments, ensuring everything was perfect without ever feeling intrusive. Even more impressive was seeing that same level of attentiveness and kindness extended to every guest in the restaurant. It created an atmosphere that felt welcoming, genuine, and refreshingly personal. Just when we thought the evening couldn't get any better, we were treated to complimentary baklava and rice pudding for dessert. It was a thoughtful gesture that perfectly reflected the restaurant's commitment to making every guest feel valued. D'Vine Long Beach delivers far more than outstanding Mediterranean cuisine, it delivers an experience. From the spotless, inviting atmosphere to the incredible food and remarkable hospitality, every detail reflects care and pride. If you find yourself in Long Beach craving authentic Mediterranean flavors, do yourself a favor and visit D'Vine on Bellflower & Stearns near Cal State Long Beach. HATS OFF to the entire D'Vine team. You've created something truly memorable, and I can already tell this will be the first of many return visits. read more

A hidden gem! Visiting Long Beach and was looking for a place for dinner. Came across D'vine Express on Yelp, and given the reviews decided to give it a try. Above and Beyond expectations!! Our servers David and Alison were warm and welcoming. We started off with complimentary falafel. I am not a falafel fan, but it was so tasty! Next up cucumber salad and pita bread that was light and pillowy and delicious! I chose beet salad and the Mediterranean salad as my sides and they were equally delicious. They weren't covered in heavy dressing or oil so you could actually taste the flavors of the vegetables. The garlic sauce that accompanied was the bomb! I chose the chicken kebab for my main entree and it was tender and flavorful. We enjoyed our meal so much, we decided to go back the next day! read more

Love this place! First time trying and I was very impressed. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate with Mediterranean salad and beet salad. The portion was huge. It was 2 meals for me. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. The owner also gave me some baklava to try and they were perfect. read more
This Mediterranean spot has been on my "to try" list for a while and sure didn't disappoint. The food was very very good. Although I did takeout, the restaurant is beautifully decorated and much more inviting for a dine in experience. I decided to order the 2 item combo (chicken and beef Shawarma) with the idea of trying more of the menu at once. At $25 for the 2 meat combo, I found it to be a bit pricey vs 1 meat choice at $18. However, all items includes in the meal were tasty, full of flavor, and I was definitely satisfied. Located in the same parking lot as aTrader Joe's, but on what I'd consider the backside facing Stearns. I never realized there were businesses on that side. Parking right in front. Dining in for the next visit is the plan for a full experience. read more

We ordered the Falafel entree...first we noticed the pita was missing, the rice has chicken broth in it, nowhere was this listed. The fatayer was only cooked on one side, is that how its done now? And the falafel was soo burnt, like bitter burnt crunchy grossness...seriously!!! Too many fails Im totally confused about the hype for here read more
The food and service is wonderful... Love the sides and the salmon... this time we came, our server gave us two appetizers for free! A delicious Falafel cut into bite size pieces for all of us to try and the fried cauliflower... both excellant dishes... our food was plentiful, and our server came by and placed more pita bread to eat with our meal... everything was fresh and made to order... all you heard from our table was ummmmmmm... soooooo gooood.... mmmmmmmm.... and a lot of noshing... and just when you are done... our server brings out two desserts! Crazy huh? A ice cold rice pudding that was amazing! Cold, creamy with just the right amount of sweetness and cinnamon spice... and baklava for each of us! Really??? He didn't have to, in fact, I felt guilty that he went this far to treat us with free and scrumptious goodies... and the Baklava was divine! You better believe he got a good tip from me... my tip for you... check this place out... crazy that there are more than one location spread out... I can only vouch for this one though... 10/10 for me and my wife! And this is coming from someone who doesn't even like cooked salmon or Mediterranean food... oh, they have Dubai Chocolate dessert as well... next time I'm going to add that to the other two desserts, compt or not. read more
TL;DR: The best D'vine around me. Super fresh mediterranean food with expert cooking and flavors. Great hospitality. It's a farther D'vine, but it's well worth the travel for me. Food: I got the pita chicken shawarma. It was so delicious. The chicken was so flavorful and tender. You can add any toppings, and I got hummus, garlic sauce, cucumbers, and sumac onions. Service: My server was so sweet and attentive. The best hospitality I've experienced in a long time. Ambiance: The place was well decorated and homey, while still looking very modern. read more

Right after church, the belly was rumbling! Yesterday, when I was looking on Yelp, I realize that there was a Mediterranean restaurant close by. So I drove right to it. I walked in cute Little restaurant and got my food to go. I ordered the beef Sharma, beat salad and hummus. He said it would be ready soon . So I walked to Trader Joe's Grabbed a couple things and came right back . He was very sweet and had me seated in a booth and send me home with some free rice pudding. On top of the rice putting is a link to Yelp Now. That's good marketing.! This food was absolutely delicious. The service was amazing. I will definitely be returning five stars. read more

Came here for lunch during the weekday around 12 and it wasn't crowded yet so we were able to find seating. Parking could be an issue - This lot gets crowded fast with all of the other eateries and shops nearby. The inside is really clean looking and we were directed to sit where we wanted. Seats are comfortable and service was fast and really friendly! I got their Beef Shawarma Plate ($19) which comes with rice and two pieces of soft, pillowy pita bread and a side of garlic sauce. You also get a choice of two sides, so I choose their potato and Mediterranean salad. The beef was deliciously flavored and although I didn't think there was much, it actually filled me up! Their salad was heavy on the green bell peppers which tasted...pretty good for me normally avoiding them. The potato salad was very good and the entire meal was great with the garlic sauce stuffed between the pita bread. Would definitely come back to try their other offerings! read more

I hosted my daughter's graduation party at Dvine Restaurant, and it was a wonderful experience. The food was amazing, and the service was outstanding. All of my guests had great things to say about the restaurant, especially about the quality and taste of the food. I was extremely satisfied with my decision to choose Dvine for this special occasion, and most importantly, my daughter was very happy. I highly recommend Dvine Restaurant for anyone looking to host a memorable event. read more
