There's a reason why this place is so highly rated. It's really good!! And they give giant portions. I the king bowl is multiple meals for one person, and good! I'd recommend getting the tzatziki on the side, so the bowl doesn't get overly soggy. So, I have a new rating system......I will write what I feel honestly about an establishment. The only ratings I will give are 5 stars, which is enjoyable, or 3 stars which is "needs work." read more

Nice spot for fast casual Mediterranean food. Portions are huge and food is tasty. Plenty of parking. Seating is covered outdoor only. They don't have a bathroom for guests so you'll need to go over to Aldi's. read more

King Mediterrano - Chicken Kebob Strip Bowl. 1/2 Rice, 1/2 Spring Mix. BIG Portions! - Mediterranean Near Me - Torrance, California

King Mediterrano still reigns supreme in South Bay Mediterranean cuisine! Was fortunate to be a dinner guest at a recent meeting of 150 or so people. KM was the caterer. Diners at my table raved about the delicious hummus. Salad was tasting fresh and healthy. Pita bread and hummus, grilled chicken, and seasoned rice were all on point.. I've visited the restaurant at the large plaza off of Hawthorne Blvd and Redondo Beach Blvd off and on over the years. Will definitely have to visit them again soon! read more

An excellent little grab and go for good Mediterranean. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Also helpful with the menu Portion sizes are quite large, the ball, can easily feed three people so feel free to get half rice and half salad. I had plenty of rice left over and I'm a big fan of the Mediterranean rice. The chicken was very well seasoned both the Shawarma and the kebab. I enjoyed the tomato cabbage and carrot mixed in, as it was fresh and not wilted or been sitting around for a while. The pita was good. The hummus was creamy and well flavored. The garlic sauce packs a punch, as it should. I liked their medium hot sauce. I mixed it with the garlic sauce for the chicken. Everything is made fresh. There is plenty of parking. read more

Food was great. I got the gyro plate and it was very good. This is my first time trying gyro and the flavor is unique to any other flavor I had tried. It was a lot of food that I was only able to eat half of it. read more

King Mediterrano - Mediterranean Near Me - Torrance, California

Always great! Food is fresh, delicious and on point!!! They had to increase prices, but this restaurant is worth it. They live up to their name. There are so many amazing selections that I usually can't decide right away. I love the falafel, won't eat fries from anywhere else, the chicken kabob is great and the salads are abundant and very fresh. All dishes feed 2 or more. This place is the king of delicious food anytime!!! 5 stars in my book read more

January 5, 2026 | Torrance | After looking for items for my new home at several furniture stores, including falling head over heels in love with a high pile, large area rug in the area, I needed to walk away & think it over and my stomach was growling at me! I looked on YELP & discovered King Mediterrano, which was nearby! What a delicious find! Falafel Bowl | Delicious, wildly flavorful, and incredibly plentiful! Yum! I highly recommend this dish! The falafel is seasoned so well! When asked if I wanted salad or rice, I took a moment and was offered both, the half-and-half! Yes, please, and it was a great choice! I had enough food to feed several people! It definitely seems like a shareable dish, depending upon how hungry you are! The dish was even better the next day! If I could give more than five stars, I easily would for this restaurant! French Fries | Yes! They are a win! Golden, crisp on the edges, thick and just delicious!! The fries are something special, truly flavorful! I highly recommend! Customer Service | Friendly & top of the line, excellent experience from Alice! Thanks again! Even though it was near closing time, customer service was phenomenal! Alice even explained more about the restaurant, letting my best friend, I know that it was a mix of Mexican and Mediterranean fusion! Fabulous! Unique flavor and on point! Seating & Parking | Outside & plenty of space! Cute decor! Plenty of parking shared with other stores/restaurants! Overall | Absolutely! I would go back in a heartbeat! I had a great experience and the falafel dish is simply spectacular! Thanks again for excellent customer service, Alice!! And by the way, I got the area rug... Just on a different day! Hahaha! read more

OMG this gyro salad was the salad of my dreams!! They packed the box so full of lettuce, it was like a brick. The gyro meat was amazing, so flavorful and cooked perfectly.

If you have the patience to wait for your meal, this place is definitely worth a visit since everything is made to order. On a typical weekday afternoon, I waited about 15-20 minutes after placing my order. The setup includes shaded outdoor seating with chairs and tables, but there's no indoor dining area. The prices may seem a bit high at first, but the portions easily make up for it as each meal is basically enough for two servings. The to-go container was packed to the brim, and I even had leftovers for another meal. The food itself was really good, but the wait time did make me question whether it's always worth it. On a side note, this spot was once ranked on Yelp's Top 100 list, which says a lot about its credibility. read more

King Mediterrano - Half & Half Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Torrance, California

It's an unassuming Mediterranean/Mexican fusion stand. You can get everything from swarma plates, quesadillas, to fried cauliflower. The portions are always generous, fairly priced and service is quick (in person and online). read more

People are lying about how this food is tasty. It isn't, believe me. I ordered the King bowl with 2 proteins and it was served with okd salad greens and the chicken was dry. The faflafel wasn't seasoned t all. Dry as all dry can be. The gyro with the 2 in it was ansty as well. The Feta cheese does not go well with lamb and the pita was old. The only hood thing about this place was the tzatziki sauce. My gosh, try better and learn to cook. The price I paid was not worth it and I will not be hoing back. The outside seating area was kept clean‍ read more

This place has changed a lot! I used to know this place when the owners were first starting. It has expanded quite a bit, sitting is outside, you order your food and they will open the window when the food is ready. We ordered 2 bowls and a plate, all of them were equally as big, big portions here. The menu might have changed from a long time ago. The chicken schwarma was a little on the dry side and they did not give the garlic side for the meats. Overall it was good, but not as great as I remembered it. They make the outside seating cute, but there was construction that day so all the dust kept coming to the seating areas. read more

A fan of Mediterranean food and this place has lot of reviews. Decided on the chicken kebab plate with rice, fried zucchini and salad. There was a lot of food, enough for 2-3 people. The kebab was good and not dry. Zucchini was fried well and not soggy. Salad was okay. I didn't like the rice and there was a lot of it. Was reminiscent of western style flavored rice. Wish it came with some pita bread. TBH it was too much food and most I didn't end up finishing. Not bad but not great. Maybe the food is just not to my taste. read more

First time here and we will definitely be back ! Alice greeted us with her beautiful smile and explained the menu .

Ordered delivery for the first time to try this place and it did not disappoint - got the gyro bowl and you can customize whether you want greens or rice or 1/2 and 1/2. Portions were large and food was comforting and delicious (even for round two with leftovers the next day). Definitely will be ordering again and hope to go in person! read more

Very delicious big portion great prices... mediterranean original taste . Staff is very kind and helpful

This place is SOOO GOOD. What a nice local hidden gem. Discovered it through Grubhub delivery showing it as hot and trending nearby - and now I know why! Think Halal Guys, but 1000000x better. I ordered the King Bowl with chicken and gyro meat, and half salad/half rice. When it was delivered, you can imagine my surprise when the container was so full, the lid barely closed. Great portion size, I'll be able to make at least 2-3 meals out of this. Also came with a yummy garlic sauce and a very spicy hot sauce on the side. Will definitely be ordering from here again! read more

Hey gang. This is basically about nothing more than the food. Service was good and they have a fair amount of outdoor seating... but the food is something else. It's a fusion of Mediterranean and Mexican food. These both are my sweet spot when it comes to my personal spice palate. (No cilantro please, it's a DNA thing). They have bowls, plates, gyros, quesadillas, kabobs and they taste better than my go to Mexican or Mediterranean restaurants. ( so much so I may look into a franchise) . Try it just once, I guarantee you you won't be one and done. Buon Apettito! read more

Ordered from King Mediterrano and wow--the portions are HUGE. The King Bowl was packed with meat, fresh toppings, and tons of flavor. The Falafel & Chicken Shawarma Burrito might honestly be one of the best things I've had in a while--crispy falafel and juicy shawarma in every bite. Massive and filling. The Hummus & Pita was simple but perfect--super creamy hummus with warm fluffy bread. Sauces were on point (tons of flavor, not overwhelming), and everything tasted super fresh. Definitely a spot I'll be ordering from again. read more

Still tasty overall, but the burrito construction has significantly dropped off - ie. noticeably smaller and less generous with the protein. I thought this might've been a one-off experience, but it's happened at least twice now. The plates and quesadillas are still gargantuan and quite tasty, but we definitely don't order nearly as often anymore. read more

Alice at King Mediterraneano provided exceptional service. From the moment we arrived, she was incredibly polite, energetic, and welcoming. She took the time to go over several food options with us, gave helpful suggestions, and made the entire experience feel easy and enjoyable. What stood out the most was her positive attitude. Even if she was having a bad day, you would never know it. In today's world, a lot of people bring their personal problems into the workplace, but Alice maintained such a professional, upbeat, and genuine energy the entire time. That kind of attitude truly makes a difference in a customer's experience. Employees like Alice are rare and deserve recognition. She would honestly make an amazing manager one day because of her leadership energy, positivity, and dedication to great customer service. King Mediterraneano is lucky to have her, and I hope management recognizes the value she brings to the team. Thank you, Alice, for such a wonderful dining experience! read more

The food is so freaking tasty. i order the chicken kebab plate, I have food for 3 meals...for the price you're getting so much bang for your buck. Service is fast and always with a smile. We love this place. Never disappointed no matter what we eat. You can't go wrong, you won't regret ever eating here. Outdoor patio space is great on a sunny day. read more

Let me tell you, this place was great! At first when we paid we were like oh it's a bit pricey but then we got our order and were shocked the servings are well worth it! We had so many falafels for our loaded fries and even the falafel plate. They falafel were good taste soft inside, crunchy outside l. The loaded fries were nice and crispy too. They serve in to go plates and for a good reason we weren't able to finish our food and took it for later. The seating is outdoors there is no indoor seating but they have a nice size for seating. It's located in a shopping center so ample parking available. If you're looking for some Mediterranean food the Mediterranean King is a good choice! read more

This review is 150% accurate, triple confirmed with multiple witnesses and checked for facts: First time in my life I walked up to a business and was turned away because they have "too many orders". 2:00pm on a Saturday: special people doing special things. What a disaster. Those are the facts. read more

I've lived next to this place for well over 3 years and my first time trying it was today.. I should slap myself for not trying it sooner. This place was fireee! I had the Mediterranean burrito with the gyro as my protein and it was hella bomb. Service was great too! I didn't catch her name but she helped me choose my protein today and she was so nice and lovely. Appreciate her for that! I don't think I saw inside dining tables but then again I didn't really look, there were some tables outside though. I am 100% going back and ordering this massive burrito! Much love! read more

Been wanting to check this place out for a while, and I'm glad I did! The food is so gooood! We ordered the Chicken Shawarma Plate and Gyro Plate, and you can choose it with rice or salad, or half and half. They do put a good amount of sauce and it goes well with the dish. The meats were so tender and juicy and packed with flavor. The food is pretty pricey but they do give you big portions, so it's definitely shareable. It's a small place where you order from a window so there's only outdoor seating. It was pretty busy with lots of takeout orders so we did have to wait a bit for our food. The workers were friendly and gave us some recommendations since it was our first time there. They have a variety of items on the menu so I'll be back to try more! read more

King Mediterrano - They're amazing menu. Food is always made fresh to order. Closed on Mondays. - Mediterranean Near Me - Torrance, California

I really wanted to like this place, i had very high expectations because everyone was telling me this spot is delicious. So I finally decided to give it a try today and tbh it just wasn't hitting for me. I ordered the king bowl with gyro and chicken shawarma with rice and spring mix. The chicken was really good, but the gyro was not for me. The flavor wasn't the best and the texture wasn't for me either. I also think their rice could've been better. The salad was good and fresh. I also ordered hummus and pita and it wasn't all that as well. In my opinion, the hummus was runny and not as flavorful as their competitors. The pita bread was good tho. This was a delivered meal so I don't have an opinion on their service or how the ambiance was inside. Overall wasn't what I was expecting from a highly recommended spot. I don't think I'll be back. 2/5. You should definitely try the kebab shop for better Mediterranean food in my opinion! read more

King Mediterrano - King Bowl, Hummus With 2 Pitas - Mediterranean Near Me - Torrance, California

The food here is really good. I don't know what they're doing to their fries but they are so crispy and delicious. I love that they come in a full brown paper bag. I've tried the Medi tacos from here and was so full after just one. The staff is always super nice when I come by and it's more of a pick up window so there's not really anywhere to sit and dine. I wish this was in a better location just because it's a little hard to get to on such a busy intersection, but it is definitely worth making the trip. read more
