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. read more

Amazing food and AMAZING service! It's so cute inside with the flower wall too. The baklava is delicious and their chicken shawarma is my favorite. Victor was our server and was very nice, attentive, and the presentation of the food was great too. I used to live 5 minutes away and would come all the time. Now I live an hour away and try to come when I can! Will definitely come back again. read more

The food here is good, but the service could improve. I can with a party of 5 and they sat us at a table of 4. When I moved over a small 2 person table next to us to give us more room *they insisted it be put back*. I explained the size issue to no avail. There were 4 other 2 person tables and 4 4 person tables. It was 7:30pm on a weekday. It was clear they weren't busy. To add insult to injury, they then sat a two person group at the four person table one beyond the two person table we wanted. Very disappointing. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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 read more

Been meaning to come here for so long and delighted that we did for a late Saturday lunch: even before we ordered, we got a beautiful single falafel, quartered, with delightful sauces. I love the way everything is plated: all the mini separateness of foods is delightful, and at the base of every plate are greens underneath the bowls...it makes everything so much more shareable, too. I ordered the salmon which was out of this world, melt-in-your-mouth delightfulness. My partner got the falafel, even better than the free appetizer, because freshly fried (in oil that is clearly the right temperature and changed often enough to be unnoticeable and light), so crunchy on the outside and fluffy inside: yum! Paid the extra (and well-spent) $2 to upgrade one side to the spicy garlic potatoes: perfection of crisp and fluff, rhyming with the falafel. Light fluffy garlic sauce. Great mutabal, cabbage salad, and tabouli; all fresh and alive. Pro-tip: we parked on the little parking lot in the other side of Trader Joes for ease of in and out. Light cool space: the cucumber mint mocktail is perfect for a hot day. Staff are amazing and hustling (just a cook and a waiter who also plates and preps!!) We now have a new go-to mediterranean near our house for takeout, too: can't wait to be lazy and get the family meal. 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

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

Excellent experience at Dvine. The food was outstanding, and the steak kabobs were cooked perfectly. We placed a takeout order, and everything was ready right on time. The young lady who helped us was professional, pleasant, and made the whole experience easy. Great food and great service. We'll definitely be back. read more

I ordered takeout from this place for the first time on 5/20 and it was great. I ordered takeout again today (5/22) and it was awful compared to our first try. I ordered the same thing both times (2 skewer plate) but I tried different meats. On 5/20 we had the chicken kebab, beef shawarma, hummus and tabouleh and everything was fantastic. On 5/22 I had the beef kebab, lamb kebab, hummus and tabouleh and it was a totally different experience. Both of the meats were so overcooked that they were inedible. I tried to feed them to my dog but even he wouldn't eat them. The tabouleh had way too much lemon in it and it felt like a waste of $30 Service is very friendly, however I did have to wait 20 minutes for my pickup order to be ready on 5/22. For the price, the food consistency should be better. read more

I have yet to dine here but I have been blessed to have tasted their Baklava and it is literally the best Baklava I have ever had.

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. 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

Delicious! Ordered online and the food was waiting for me when I arrived - super convenient. We ordered a chicken shawarma and beef shawarma plate, and 2 extra garlic sauces. We got french fries and hummus for sides. The orders already came with ketchup, 2 garlic sauces, and pita bread. The chicken was moist and flavorful - perfect with the rice and pita. The beef was okay - a tad dry and not as flavorful as the chicken but still good. My kids, 4 and 5 years old, also enjoyed their lunch. We mixed everything together with the garlic sauce - the flavors are amazing. We'll be back! 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

I was here 3 weeks ago with a friend and it was great. Came back today with my wife and it was just as good! We had a favorite and tried some new things, which were good as well. Jesus was welcoming and pleasant. The food was brought at good times during the meal (and as soon as it was ready). We didn't need to go looking for him, or really ask for anything. He was right there at the right times, but never hovered. Today they had a World Cup match on some tv's. We could hear well and still have a conversation, without raising our voices - great for us and for the people at the other tables doing the same. 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

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

This is one of my regular spots in Long Beach and I go back and forth between eating in and just picking up takeout. I always get the chicken shawarma and it's consistently good, well seasoned, never dry. Honestly the baba ghanoush might be my favorite thing on the menu. Even the sides hold their own, which isn't always the case at places like this. I can tell they care, the space is clean and thought out with real attention to detail, and the staff always seem willing to go a little further for you. It's just a solid, reliable spot that I keep coming back to. read more

This restaurant continues to out perform! Upon entering we were greeted by Jesus. This brief visit just seems to make our meals more special. The restaurant was open, brightly lighted and most inviting. My wife had her usual, Lamb Chops with beet salad and cucumber yogurt salad.

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. read more

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! read more

My first experience with D'Vine was unplanned (a friend ordered some for us for dinner) and was good enough that it's brought me back. I've now had both the chicken & beef shawarma and both were great. The rice is delicious and the servings generous enough for two meals. For sides, I've tried the hummus, tabouleh, and mutabal. All delicious. I don't usually order tabouleh because it often tastes lackluster, but the one here is super fresh and totally worth it. I've never dined in, but staff are always friendly when picking up and they have a cute upscale but casual vibe going in the restaurant. read more
