    Burnt Falafel
    Vicki G.

    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

    Third time here. Good little Mediterranean place for lunch or dinner. Their wraps are generous with the meat and size! I need to come more often since it is by my office or pick up on the way home.

    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.

    Lunch time !

    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.

    Amazing food, excellent service and beautiful decor you can't ask for more from a small but super cute restaurant

    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.

    I don't even know where to start -- this place is phenomenal! From the moment we walked in, the new owner greeted us so kindly and made us feel like family. You can immediately tell how much pride and love go into everything here -- the food, the atmosphere, the hospitality -- all of it. I brought my friend for lunch who's never had Mediterranean food before (she's a bit set in her ways), and by the end she was absolutely moaning with delight over every bite. We started with the potatoes -- perfectly seasoned, crispy, and addictive. For lunch, she ordered the grilled prawns and I got the two-meat combo for $25, which came with rice and two sides. The portions were incredibly generous -- I had enough to take home another full meal! She chose the potato salad and roasted beets, both amazing. The potato salad was like a chunky, lemony mashed potato -- light, bright, and full of flavor. The beets were perfectly roasted and so fresh. I had the chicken skewers and kafta -- both juicy, tender, and full of that perfectly balanced Mediterranean spice blend. My sides were the eggplant dip and tabouli, both spot-on and beautifully executed. Everything came with the warmest, fluffiest pita bread and a side of garlicky sauce that should honestly be bottled and sold -- it's that good. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful -- modern yet cozy -- and the service couldn't have been more welcoming. To top it all off, the amazing owner sent us off with a plethora of desserts to die for. It was such a thoughtful gesture and the perfect end to a truly special meal. Counting down the days until I can go back. This place is a gem and deserves all the love and attention it can get.

    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.

    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!

    Cute decor

    Found this great gem today. I had the salmon entree with hummus and grape leaves as my side. Chilled glass of Sav Blanc. Hubby had chicken kabob entree. Inside is a whole vibe.. cute signs, modern design, very clean. Met owner Jesus who gave us a falafel as a complementary appetizer.. which was so tasty! Finished our meal with a must try baklava and rice pudding pistachio dessert. We will definitely be recommending this place to our friends and family. When you are in the area stop by! Generous portions, great customer service and good price point.

    At first, I thought a review update would have been superfluous, even if it still rewarded full marks for this excellent eatery, but like I said in my initial review, it takes *a lot* for me to award 5 stars. For them to remain at 5 stars even after a review update should be saying something, and if it doesn't, I'm not sure what will. I roamed around the shopping center for about 30 minutes before making my way indoors. I immediately noticed a difference when I saw the sign "Please wait to be seated", which made me think it was dine-in only. This almost became a problem for me because there's a sign at the shopping center saying that customers could only park there for one hour max. If I had to dine in, then I would have exceeded that one hour, and who knows what could have happened depending on how draconian that parking rule is enforced? I remembered Jonathan from last year, and he was just as helpful, though it was Bella who assisted me for the most part. I had told Jonathan I was planning to order takeout, and he directed me to Bella, who I think is a newer team member, but she was very courteous and customer-centric as well, answering my multitude of questions effectively and with ease. Well, except maybe for the sumac onions as she had a difficult time describing the powder that supplemented the onions, so she asked Jonathan for some help with that. Jonathan not only explained it, but he even went through the trouble of fetching a sample for me! The sumac onions were just your regular (not fried) onion rings with some seasoned powder that wasn't really spicy, but didn't really leave much of an impression for me. Bella sold me more on the labne and tabouleh, the last of which reminded me of the tabouli from The Kebab Shop. Not sure if they're actually supposed to be the same, but I felt Dvine's tabouleh had darker greens and fewer grains compared to The Kebab Shop's tabouli. Just like last year, I ordered the salmon again, knowing how sizable their filets are. I was anticipating a 20-minute wait since that was how long I waited last year, and Bella confirmed this when I asked her upon paying. The interior is pretty fancy and neatly decorated with a fair number of tables inside for dine-in customers. I sat at a table for two in the rear by the wall that separated the table from the kitchen. There was already a laminated menu on that table, so I took some time to look at the menu more. I really wish that their menu would include photos so I wouldn't have to keep asking Bella and/or Jonathan what each of the side dishes are. But they really do care about the customer and want them to know what they're getting before they actually pay. When my order was almost ready, Jonathan asked if I was planning to dine in or not. He had forgotten that I mentioned that to him the first time, but with how busy it was inside from serving the numerous customers to supervising the other parts of the house, it's understandable why he'd forget. He also made sure to get some utensils and a cup of garlic yogurt sauce in my takeout bag prior to my departure. The backs of their shirts do say "ask for some extra garlic yogurt sauce", and I still got one even when I didn't ask. They probably would have given me a second one if I had asked, but I didn't bother to. They also included a pita bread to go with my order. Both the labne and tabouleh were good choices of side dishes, though the labne didn't leave as much of an impression as the tabouleh. I ate it separately from the pita bread, but I think they would have gone well together. There was a fair amount of flavor in the tabouleh, and I thought it went well with the garlic yogurt sauce. But the star of the show remained the salmon, still generous in size even though I think the quality dwindled a bit compared to last year, but definitely not enough to rescind a star from my initial rating. And the rice? There was so much flavor in the rice itself that adding any more flavor would run into a case of too much good being no good. Maybe that's where all the flavor in the salmon went? lol Overall, still a great spot for Mediterranean eats, and I sincerely hope that readers will flock towards Dvine for a divine dinner like the ones I've had. They treat all customers like family whether they're fluent in Greek cuisine or can't even spell/pronounce mutabal.

    Great Mediterranean Food and Service. I am glad a friend recommended this place. All the times I have been to this shopping center (Target/TJs on Bellflower), I had no idea there were additional stores and restaurants on the otherside close to Stearns! Very inviting interior with comfy chairs and booths. It was lunch time and we dined it. There was a good crowd when we arrived and a lot of take out orders going out. We were greeted and seated right away. Price point for a plate is very good especially for the quantity and quality. We easily could have made a second meal but we enjoyed it so much decided to eat it all while it was fresh and warm! I can't believe we ate it all and here it is hours later, definitely no dinner for me tonight! I took one plate to go but only served half to my husband, it was plenty to eat! We both ordered the Chicken Sharwarma Plates and then I ordered a Beef Shawarma Plate to go. The plates come with two sides along with pita, rice, and garlic sauce. I had the Mediterranean Salad and Beet Salad for sides, both were very good and the beets were definitely fresh! My son ordered Tabouli Salad and Potato Salad and happy with both. My husband had the Tabouli Salad and Mediterranean Salad, and pleased with both. Pitas and garlic sauce were great. Now for the Sharwarma, Chicken was excellent, tender and flavorful! Beef (reheated(.was also very good! There are so many other options on the menu including pockets, appetizers, etc. Service was great and friendly! Can't wait to go back. This a great location to meet my husband after work. We will be back and soon!

    This is my first experience at Dvine and was there with family to enjoy a meal... it was wonderful! The service was impeccable and the food was absolutely fresh, well prepared, and delicious. The manager played an active part in making our experience as great as it was His demeanor and humor were spot on and he actually made us feel at home - like family. If you are looking for a good to place to thorough enjoy fantastic food and ambience, this is your new place!!

They only gave us 1 garlic sauce and I asked for another one because we ordered 2 plates. They charged me an extra 75 cents because one of these combo plates doesn't include garlic sauce. Uhm... ok. Apparently only 1 plate can have a garlic sauce. What kind of logic is that?! They both are Mediterranean plates with rice and hummus! 75 cents extra for a tiny garlic sauce. Custom charge of $3.00 was added to our $24 combo plates because I substitute the beef for another salmon Kabob. The other Kabob was a chicken. A takeout order, they charges 15 cents for a paper bag.

The bill came out to be $55 for a takeout meal that's inside and behind a liquor store. All the highlighted upcharges on the receipt (see picture) that other restaurants does not charges. This is just taking advantage of your customer. Next time, I'll enjoy a nice sit down meal at a Mediterranean restaurant down the street with those prices. So underwhelming and disappointed. I know times are tough. I'm sure that $20 plus dollars you charge for a plate of food already made the business some profit already. It's tough for the customers as well, but taking advantage like this, I will never come back again which is too bad because my office is near and we would of made this our regular place to grab lunch. In honesty, it's not the extra few dollars that matter, it's the principle.

I waited for my already-paid-for online order for approximately 25 minutes, which I consider very extreme since my order was for falafel and hummus. Not to mention, people who called in orders and had not yet paid were provided their orders with no wait time (other than the line to pay for their food).
