    I ordered the beef shawarma and really enjoyed it. I thought the meat was seasoned well and the portion was great for it being a wrap. I loved the cleanliness inside and friendly owner/staff. He also has 'tea' bags inside which are actually dates and he can tell you the story behind that process how he gets it imported. As for the the food, delicious and would definitely come back. I think we could always use more great quality Mediterranean restaurants in our area. Thank you!

    I've frequented Laith's a few times now and can confidently say their food is consistently amazing each time. With it being located in a strip mall along Carson St, people will overlook it but do yourself a favor and swing by. This spot is such a hidden gem and there are seldom Mediterranean spots in Carson, and I am grateful this place exists. I love getting the Beef Shawarma Wrap with hot sauce and garlic sauce, the meat is cooked to perfection and the flavors are on point (plus the servings are very generous!) The chicken option is great as well! The staff are very hospitable and you feel very taken care of here. Please come by and support this great small business.

    Loved the food here! Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. Great price for the quality of food. The service was great, very fast and friendly. The man and woman here (there are only 2 workers) created such a great environment. I recommend!!

    Got the Cucumber Salad and the Chicken Shawarma Wrap (hold the pickles). Everything was delicious. Fresh ingredients in the salad. The mild acidic dressing helped balance the richness from the feta cheese. The pita was nice and soft. The meat was seasoned well. Putting it all together (with the lettuce, tomatoes and garlic sauce) makes for a tasty bite. Also, it was a good-sized wrap. The hot sauce does have some lingering heat. Service was super friendly. No issues on parking.

    Absolutely amazing and consistent Mediterranean food. Owner Laith pays attention to detail and consistency of food for each customer. I've been here twice and loved it each time. Laith's is located in the Carson Bonita Plaza and is very easy to park in. The storefront has inside seating but is also a good grab and go spot. What sets them apart from others is their food is number one really flavorful, they don't use a meat rotisserie cooker, it's freshly made to order the meats. They also have Date shakes which are very healthy and shake that most businesses don't serve. I'm a big beef guy so I got their beef shawarma plate the first time I went and a beef shawarma wrap the second time. The flavors in the wrap were mindblowing. The pita is very very good along with their hummus. Their hummus hands down is one of the best and I'm not just saying that! Laith also recommended the Falafel which I've never really enjoyed before. Here at Laith's it was great, very crispy on the outside and soft in the inside and it wasn't greasy at all. We finished the meal with their sweet Baklava, so good. Need to try their chicken and date shakes the next time I stop by.

    While looking for something to eat, we hopped on Yelp for good Mediterranean food and this place popped up -- Laith's Mediterranean. It's a small establishment with just a few tables and, at the moment, no wait staff. The owners, a husband and wife team, were very friendly. They are the chefs and also take care of the customers, which gave the place a very welcoming, personal feel. The vibe is more fast-casual. You can order on a tablet or place your order directly with the owner. The menu isn't very extensive, but everything we tried was really good. I ordered the chicken and beef shawarma, falafel, basmati rice, and an assortment of sauces. The portions were generous, and the food was flavorful and satisfying. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal and would definitely come back again.

    My sister was bragging me to try this place she said everything so good and fresh!!! She's right! I just went Just tried this place it's delicious the owner so nice too good service! I will return again and try other dishes! They also have Organic Dates Shakes! I tried the Chocolate one it's amazing!

    Chicken shawarma always good, service always good too,. and friendly. Ambiance is minimal.

    We were in Carson and decided to look for a Mediterranean food spot. We lucked up and found Laith's just a mile away. When we walked in we were greeted by one of the really nice owners, he walked us through the menu and made recommendations. We decided on the shawarma chicken and beef combo plate with rice, cucumber salad and hummus. There's a seating area with tables and chairs. We wanted to enjoy the food while it was hot so we sat there; the food was fresh, delicious and the portion was huge! I typically can only tolerate a spoonful of hummus but Laith's house made hummus was creamy and flavorful, I couldn't help but to dip my pita in it. The chicken was my favorite but I'm bias because I'm not much of a beef person. The falafels were good as well. I was bummed that we only ate one each and I accidentally threw away the rest of them. They have garlic butter, spicy saucy and tzatziki which were all good. There's plenty of parking in the lot and you can get your order to go as well. I will be back for sure.

    Wow! I came in to order lunch at Laith Mediterranean Restaurant and was immediately impressed. The customer service was super friendly and welcoming. I also loved the menu, it's laid out so clearly and was very easy to order from. I had the beef shawarma wrap and paired it with the Palm Green Smoothie, and both were 100% delicious! Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. I can't wait to come back again during lunchtime. Highly recommend!

    Food was good, the beef shawarma wrap and the meat was so tender that I was barely chewing! The owner was nice and offered assistance. Gotta have the garlic sauce it was so good, wish I had more. Definitely a good hole in the wall spot and the entire place was spotless, wish I dined in. Making plans to come back!!!

    Beef shawarma wrap is heaven in a wrap

    This location has the best shawarma wrap on the planet! My first time here on Saturday I had a chicken shawarma wrap and I loved it so much it gave me a craving to back today! Today I got a beef shawarma wrap and was able to place the order on the phone as I raced to pick it up before closing. Best dinner! The guy who works there is very chill and friendly. The location is small but has heart. I highly recommend this location to anyone and everyone! I can't wait to come back again!

So glad I finally got to stop by many years later for dinner! Parking was easy (on a weeknight). Plenty of street parking and many open meters but I can see it being very difficult on weekends. Bake in some time to find parking! There's both indoor and outdoor seating at this location. This inside is cozy and there's a second room for additional seating. I went on a Thursday night and it was slammed. They do not take reservations but they do have a waitlist via toast that you can join while you walk around and wait for your table. Plenty to do and see on 2nd street. We ordered the party platter for 4 people! It was the perfect amount of food with leftovers to take home. Everything was cooked to PERFECTION. Our beef was a textbook medium rare and was so juicy and tender, as was the rest of the meat. The chicken was so moist and flavorful, as was all the shawarma. All meats were seasoned beautifully. The rice underneath was stunning as well and really caught all the juices from the meat on top. The roasted tomatoes, onions, and pickles were the perfect compliments to help freshen up the palette during the meal. The sauces were amazing and there was a clear favorite (the garlic sauce) which was annihilated by all four of us. Service was friendly! It was very packed so it was slow at times but understandably so. They come by and give you orange blossom water for your hands post meal - what a treat! We smelled amazing! NO NOTES FOR OPEN SESAME! I have to come back with more friends! We did have an issue but it was with another patron who had the audacity to yell at my table (while I was in the restroom) for "having too much fun"?!?! This is a public restaurant and it was loud as hell in there because it's tight and everyone talks over each other, not to mention the open kitchen. The energy in the restaurant is exciting and frenetic. If you want a quiet dinner f*cking STAY HOME and leave the streets to those of us who have had a WEEK and want to enjoy a fun dinner with friends. We will be back and we will have even MORE FUN, xoxo.

Limone was a gift that kept on giving, from the cute branding, to the welcoming service, and to the unique mix of flavors and fresh ingredients. Some things that I really appreciated about the chicken shawarma bowl: The salad inlcuded both dill and mint, which uplifted the entire dish and left me wanting more. They give you a whole stack of (fresh!) pita bread that is sprinkled with flaky salt, something I didn't know my pita needed until now. The hummus were topped with crunchy chickpeas that gave hummus that a nice blend of textures where it would normally just be smooth. Lowkey the chicken was the least memorable part of the dish, but it was still cooked well and tender. For how much competition there is in the Enclave, these guys are killing it.

Until as of late... it's so sad when restaurants start loosing their quality. I ordered through DoorDash today 6/12/26 as I've done before and like always the sauces were missing. I've never asked for a refund for missing sauces but it's disappointing that the sauces are always missing ( especially when I paid extra for them). But the biggest disappointment was the quality of the food. The flat bread was extremely raw and placed at the bottom of the plate as if done on purpose or out of spite. Chicken was overcooked and limited portion. Not only was the flat bread raw on my plate but also my husband's. Quality control is not there. I'm so disappointed in my favorite restaurant.

Same cheap/thin plastic came too with a thin, unidentifiable overprocessed flavorless swirl that I had to call the store to identify it -supposedly - as hummus, when I'd ordered babaghanous!
