Amazing food !!! My wife and I loves this place!! Amazing employees !!! And amazing management!!! The best Mediterranean in LA!!! And also I just wanna share what we experienced on Sunday, February 1, 2026 a customer was having an altercation with an employee named Marissa and the customer was being so rude because we got our food before her and the employee was being super nice and kind about it, and just wanted to note that it was also her birthday that day. I just love how the employee handle rude customers and I feel like this place and have more support and she was always saying kind things the customer. and after that altercation, the customer left with the middle finger in her hand. read more

Janet's Mediterranean Duarte, CA Date went 5/6/26 Time went 10:37am it didn't appear to be too busy Establishment Clean and had ample table seating for in house eating; I ordered at the touch screen kiosk placed right in front of the entry when you enter. Staff weren't present at the counter when I arrived, but greeted me when they came out to bring somebody's else's food to the dining area. Ordered food at 10:38am Got my food at 10:43am 5 minute wait time, quite possibly the quickest wait time I've seen at an establishment Food ordered Chicken and Beef Combo $24.49 With taxes grand total was $27.06 Food ratings Chicken and Beef Combo - 6.5/10 I was so sadden by the amount I spent for this combo. While the chicken and beef looked aesthetically pleasing the texture was a little bit on the drier side for my taste. The rice was good. The salad looked sad and not appetizing, I didn't even eat it and I HATE wasting food. My pita bread came inside a "PITA DOUX" package; as if it was purchased from a store and left in the bag it was purchased from. I essentially paid $27 for 5 pieces of beef and 6 pieces of chicken and some rice :( I won't be coming here again. read more

Had the Salmon and the beef shawarma both with rice. Salmon was well cooked, not dry at all. The shawarma was also juicy and flavorful. Service is good since you just order at the front and wait for them to take it to your table. Place is clean and comfortable. Will be back. read more

This place was a hidden gem in Duarte, they give plenty of Mediterranean food. It's enough for sharing, we ordered a chicken and beef kabobs. The meat was moist and tender. Which was the highlight of it all. You can't go wrong eating great food in this place. The only down fall is I wish they had drink fountains. Nothing but a nice cup with ice and a drink. But unfortunately it's either can soda or bottles. The service was slow at getting us our extra sides and dessert along with napkins. read more

Janet's has been FANTASTIC! My family and I highly recommend it to anyone we can! Each visit to Janet's has been wonderful, with great food and extremely friendly service.

Janet's Mediterranean Cuisine - Mediterranean Near Me - Duarte, California

I would've given this place five stars if it weren't for their questionable policy about not allowing customers to eat in the dining area. I arrived close to 7 p.m., and by the time I ordered, it was maybe a few minutes past. Since they close at 8, I figured I had plenty of time to sit and enjoy my meal. However, after placing my order, I was told the dining room was closed and I wouldn't be allowed to dine in. What made it more frustrating was that there was a couple already sitting in the dining area who were served their food around the same time I got mine. So if I'd been allowed to sit, I would've finished eating around the same time as they did. Strange rules aside, the food was really good. Everything tasted fresh, and the hummus is sooo much better than anything you'd buy at the store. read more

This is by far the best Mediterranean food I've had -- and I'm super picky when it comes to Mediterranean cuisine, so that says a lot! I went in with my brother during lunchtime. I ordered the Chicken Kebab plate and he got the Chicken and Beef Kebab combo. The portions were generous -- we even had leftovers to take home. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. We dined in, and the service was great. The lady who took our order was friendly and even brought the food to our table when it was ready. They offer a good variety of bottled drinks, including some in glass bottles, which is a nice touch. The space is clean and comfortable with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. They had sports on the TV while we were there, which added to the relaxed vibe. My only regret? Not getting the baklava! It looked amazing, but I was too full. Next time, I'm definitely grabbing some to-go. read more

Very authentic Mediterranean spot! I had the falafel plate and a side of dolmas. The dolmas had an interesting tomato twist that I wasn't the biggest fan of but I respect it (to be fair I have no idea the traditional recipes this comment is purely based on my personal experience). I would like if they had more plant based protein options and the service left more to be desired however I recognize it was a "dead time" possibly in between shifts. Regardless, I will be going back and for sure recommend if you're in the area. read more

Mediterranean food is hard to find in the heart of the SGV. As I'm in this area, I had to take advantage of it and go to a Mediterranean restaurant. Food: I'm on a low carb diet and this lunch completely ruined my diet. I ordered the chicken lule plate and everything on the plate was so good...My first taste was the garlic dip with pita which set the tone for the meal. The dip had huge strong flavors. The hummas was also packed with flavor and very smooth. Salad was well dressed and plentiful. The chicken lule was moist and packed with flavor. The drippings was captured by a bed of rice to complete the meal. Service: Order at the counter and food brought to you. Casual dining. If you need hand holding type of service, this is not the place for you. Environment: Parking is plentiful. The seating area is kind of weird as it is next door to the actual order area. If you're yearning for more Mediterranean stuff, there is even a market next door. Price: Not bad for the type and amount of food you get. Food: 5 Service: 4 Environment: 4 Price: 5 read more

Janet's Mediterranean Cuisine - So good! - Mediterranean Near Me - Duarte, California

We have been on the hunt for the best Mediterranean food and this is definitely on the top of the list. Everything was so fresh and flavorful! My partner has already planned his next meal here. The two of us shared a beef and chicken combo plate and it was more than enough food. The plate comes with grilled filet mignon and chicken, salad, hummus, pita, and a generous amount of rice. Every bite was amazing and we can't wait to try the rest of the menu. It's located on a pretty large plaza with plenty of parking spaces. Service was great and the staff were so friendly. If you are looking for a casual and chill spot for lunch or dinner, this is a great pick if you're in the area. read more

We love Janet's! The food is always delicious. My husband and I usually order the combo plate for two and it's perfect. The falafel wrap was tasty as well. I usually don't like baklava because they tend to be overly sweet, but I actually enjoyed the baklava at Janet's! They were crispy and had a good amount of sweetness. read more

Delicious food, fair price, friendly staff. We come here almost once a week for the pita wraps!! 10/10 should try

Janets Mediterrinean Food is FIRE. Nice to have some Middle Eastern foods in the Duarte area. I get bored with all of these American hamburger stands, and boring Mexican foods in Duarte when I come visit. Anyways, I love the Baklava, Rice, Tabouli, and Kebab meats. Nice owners and employees here. Very comfortable outdoor and indoor tables to eat at. food is on point with the garlic and seasonings. I will be back for more when in town. read more

This is always the go-to place for Mediterranean food for us. The shawarma is one of the best I've had. Also try the Bubaganoush and Hummus , its great and so flavorful. If you like Mediterranean food and you're in the SGV, you should give Janet's a try. For us, it's the absolute fav place for this type of food. We've been going there for years. read more

Staff is super nice. We waited a bit, they gave us free dessert as a sorry. They even offer for us to dine in even when it was close to their closing time. Generous portion size! read more

Excellent food, it takes a bit of time so don't be in a rush as they make it all to order. I've had the beef and the chicken shawarma plates. Both were delicious and the rice top notch. Portions are huge. The down side is the tabbouleh was only ok and they don't have fountain drinks, but overall a great meal! read more

Just get the falafel. Now I dont expect everyone to drop what they are doing and rush to Duarte for falafel....but you could... This humble restaurant offers big taste and delivers quality everytime....and in this case...I believe hard work and the 'labor of love' proove a successful recipe. Located in a strip mall, Janet's seems like a grab and go joint for locals....but it's really falafel paradise. To be honest, i havent tried anything else here....but the falafel is very, very good. The falafel plate is a good size. Definitely large enough to satisfy a hungry appetite. It has amazing flavor with strong spices enhancing every bite. The crispy fried exterior contrasts nicely with the soft center and matches nicely with the flatbread, hummus and salad. The flavor of the falafel is great...but the lingering herbal aroma is heavenly. The service is very good when you order, and there is a dining area off to the side where you can eat there. Everything is kept clean and there is plenty of room for your friends. I will be back to try the kebabs....but the falafel has my heart! read more

Janet's Mediterranean Cuisine - Oh yes! - Mediterranean Near Me - Duarte, California

Sigh. Where do I start? The bread was dry. The chicken was dry. Beef was also dry. Salads look old. The edges of the lettuce looked pinkish. We definitely will not be back. I promise I am not a harsh rater, but we truly did not enjoy our dinner. read more

Very clean, urban, Mediterranean simple/minimalist interior atmosphere. Clean, updated, gender neutral restroom. Fast food like system to order at cashier and have food served to your table. We tried the beef, chicken kebab, lamb, chicken shawarma, and baklava. Very good local Mediterranean food with best juicy tender well prepared lamb and highly recommend this restaurant for affordable food. read more

Marissa gets 1 star. The food is 5 stars however. But Marissa is so rude and doesnt have basic human communication skills which may have ruined it for me after years of coming here. read more

If you're in the area and looking for a quick lunch, Janet's Mediterranean Cuisine is a nice place to visit. Janet's is located in a plaza on Huntington with ample parking. The restaurant has a nice and quiet vibe to it. There is a lot of seating if you're trying to sit in and dine. I came here on a Tuesday afternoon during work and ordered a beef and chicken combo plate. The order took about 25 minutes to come out. I wasn't particularly happy about that. The food itself was plentiful! I really enjoyed the hummus and salad it came with. The meat was really tender! I couldn't finish it all but you could probably share a combo with two people. I think I would visit again soon barring the wait time. read more

Janet's Mediterranean Cuisine - Chicken Kebab Plate $15.99 - Mediterranean Near Me - Duarte, California

The food was too heavy on the garlic and salt. Further, we had a problem with placing and fulfilling the order and the restaurant didn't respond when we contacted them to correct it. it was an expensive meal, most of which was thrown away. read more

Janet's remains one of the better Mediterranean restaurants in the area. Tried dine in and service and food was solid. My GF didn't love the beef because of the texture, which I understand was a bit off but chicken and lule kabob were on point. Platter for two was more than enough for us and had leftovers for the next day too. Great deal for about $35. Will be back for sure. read more

My wife called to place an order for takeout. The lady who answered the phone asked her to hold. After being on a hold for 15 minutes,, we decided to get food elsewhere. Their food is delicious, but their customer service is atrocious! read more

Big fan of Janet's! I come here more than a few times a month and LOVE their falafel salad!! I know there's more to order there but when I want some healthy with tons of flavor, Janet's Falafel Salad is my go to. The falafel is soooo tasty and the salad dressing is CRAZY good and the fact that they give you a pita wrap is a great addition to the enjoy the dish multiple ways. Go check it out, you will not be disappointed! read more

The first time I came to Janet's, the food came out slow. This time we ordered online through their website for pick-up. If you want to save time, I recommend ordering online. The combo for 2 is $33.99. Although pricy and on par with other Mediterranean restaurants' combo meals in the area, the portions are decent sized. It comes with marinated filet mignon, chicken breast, and beef lule. It comes with rice, salad side, 4 pita breads, 2 portions of hummus, salad dressing, garlic sauce (similar to toum). Critiques: - The online menu ordering system didn't make it clear that it came with the sides. I ordered an extra side of hummus, not knowing it already came with hummus. - The hummus wasn't the best. It tasted beans only. I couldn't taste a depth of expected flavors, such as aromatic tahini, spiciness from garlic, and sourness from lemon juice. Service: - It was normal. I came into the restaurant and the folks working in the kitchen handed the order over. - I did not feel comfortable asking for water, as I felt judged given that I had ordered in advance. It took a while to receive the water. The first time I came, I brought my own water bottle. I saw that many other tables bought drinks and did not receive water. - The lady behind the counter came off as rude. She spoke in another language in a gossip-like manner, assuming that customers wouldn't understand what she's expressing. - The workers aren't the most enthusiastic. It's not the type of restaurant where, when I leave, I can say goodbye to them. While cleaning the tables, I see they are multi-tasking by being on phone calls via AirPods. That might explain why the floors felt grimy (no cleaning is done there) There are plenty of tables and parking. read more

Janet's Mediterranean Cuisine - Combo for 2 ($33.99) - Mediterranean Near Me - Duarte, California

Solid mediterranean food. Everything taste fresh, tender, and delicious. We got the combo for 2. It is $33 bucks, with tax it's more like $37. If you're hungry you can probably eat the whole thing. If you're a small eater, you can probably make this 3 meals and still feel very satisfied. - Salad is fresh. - Meats are tender. Wish there was more though. - Lots of rice. Pretty good. Not overpowering flavor. - Hummus is smooth. Not too much garlic flavor. - Garlic sauce is nice, tangy, and refreshing. - Pita bread is good. I like to tear it and dip/scoop with hummus. The hubby likes to split in half and fill out like a sandwich. read more

Janet's Mediterranean Cuisine - Combo for 2 - Mediterranean Near Me - Duarte, California

Hidden at the same strip mall as Grocery Outlet, this Mediterranean restaurant is a must when you're in the area! What I ordered: 2 Beef kabobs 1 Chicken kabob Small side of Hummus with free pita bread Basmati rice Salad with their house dressing All were outstanding. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Beef was so soft and juicy I hardly needed to cut the meat. Chicken moist. I'm in a food coma right now. All that was able to feed my family of 3 with leftovers. It is a little pricey but again, you pay for fresh and great quality ingredients. I am a fan and will go back. read more

I want to love Janet's. Unfortunately everything here is great. Food fresh and healthy. Service is somewhat depressing and needs attention. Ambiance is just enough to get by and eat food. Food is great though. Would recommend. No heartburn read more

This place is an absolute gem! Looks like a hole in the wall but the food was just delicious! Chicken kabobs, hummus so good and fresh, salad dressing is tangy and delicious, steak cooked to perfection. Highly recommend! Not much atmosphere but the food makes up for it 10 fold read more

This is my first review for 2024! I had ordered from this restaurant via Uber Eats. I had their Combo for One Kebab Plate. This is marinated filet mignon and chicken breast served with basmati rice, salad, garlic sauce, hummus and pita bread. I ordered an extra side of tahini sauce - which is my favorite! For me, this was a lot of food. Both proteins were flavorful. The salad dressing had a citrus flavor, which I like. The pita bread and hummus dip were also yummy. We hope to visit this place in person soon and hope to try more dishes! read more

This was my first time at Janet's and I loved it so much! Marissa was at the cash register and she was so energetic and helpful and served us with a smile and positive attitude. We ordered the Combo 1 which was plenty to feed two people. Their hummus is really good and their salad is so fresh. The inside tables were very clean. I will definitely be back. A lot of people came to get to go so I hope to do that in the future. read more

Best food ever!! I moved to Azusa and I still drive down for pick up or Dine in!! Servings are huge!

It's definitely not the same as pre COVID/pre-fire. This place use to be the best place in the area. I stopped by for the quick pick up and it wasn't so quick. I ordered it 25 minutes in advance and when I arrived I still had to wait another 10 minutes. I would've been better off with a panini from the store next door . I like the remodel but as a lot of other restaurants post covid the food just isn't the same. I ordered the falafel sandwich with no lettuce or tomato. It was like a falafel quesadillas without cheese and a very thin layer of falafel and garlic spread. So disappointing for the price. Although the was good it wasn't worth the price it the time I wasted waiting for it. I could tell from the look of other people waiting. They weren't happy either. Sorry I will not return. read more

Very long wait for dine-in, 45+ mins after ordering. If you have a 1hr lunch, go elsewhere. They grill one order at a time. We had the chicken kebab & it wasn't complicated, throw two skewers on the grill, add lettuce & tomatoes, scoop hummus and plate it. Order online ahead & you might not wait as long, or you might. read more

The staff is extremely friendly & will answer any questions you may have regarding any dish. read more

First time visiting this restaurant! Recommended from a friend. I can be a bit pickier eater, but the food I had was fantastic! I ordered the salmon plate, came with rice, hummus and a salad. The salmon is cooked to perfection, with a delicious herb crust.my husband and I also shared an order of Kibbeh, first time having it and it was robust with flavor. The hummus is INSANELY good, very smooth and with very fresh olive oil in it. Service was prompt, we only waited maybe 10-15 minutes for food and everything was correct from our order. It is a smaller location, but it is cute and comfortable. I will definitely have to make a trip out to try the food (a different dish) again! read more
