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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

If you're in Carson you need to eat at Laith's. If you're in The SOUTH BAY you need to eat at Laith's. Drive there, walk there, take a bus there-- it's that good. If I'm here it feels like a real treat; the shawarma wrap is nice and doughy, the meat is always so juicy and generous, the pickled veggies have justttt the right bite... it really doesn't even need anything extra but I stand by their sauce recipes it's SO tasty. I really try not to eat out too often but holy cow I've never had a better shawarma AND had such warm hospitality-- the couple are so kind and friendly. Every time I go there's a smile and you never feel rushed. Pictures don't do this place justice -- you just need to try it. Never had anything that wasn't tasty here and is such a hidden gem of Carson's foodie scene. read more

One of the best Mediterranean restaurants I have been to in a really long time! I highly recommend Laith Mediterranean to anyone looking for fresh, flavorful, and authentic Mediterranean food. We tried the Gyro Wrap and the Beef Shawarma with Basmati Rice, Cucumber Salad with Feta Cheese, and everything was absolutely delicious. The portions are incredibly generous, the ingredients taste fresh, and you can really taste the care and passion that goes into the food. The service was also wonderful. The owner was welcoming, attentive, and made us feel right at home. It was great to experience such a warm and personal touch while enjoying a fantastic meal.

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. read more

Hungry for a late lunch with my team after a good sales meeting we needed a place to eat and found this spot on yelp. What we encountered after was nothing short of great. The owner gave us an overview of the menu and his personal selections for us. He was spot on! I got the mixed plate of chicken and beef and it was a perfect blend of flavors! The sides were excellent and he even gave us more items and a dessert. This man is what every business needs. You can feel his passion come through his food and care for your dining experience. The place was immaculate as well! I brought some home as the plate was filled to the top. My wife really enjoyed the rest of it and complimented every aspect. I'll surely be back but pay this place a visit and add it to your rotation. There aren't many places like this anymore. Truly a diamond in the city!!! read more

Came across Laith's simply because we were in the area and needed to find somewhere to eat. I wanted to try something new, and Laith's came up on Yelp, so we mapped it and headed straight there. We walked in and were greeted right away. Since it was our first time, the man working the register was patient and walked us through the menu. We had kids with us, and instead of pushing two plates for them, he recommended just splitting one. We ordered the chicken shawarma wrap, the gyro plate, and the mixed meat plate (gyro and chicken shawarma) with hummus, cucumber salad, rice, and tzatziki on the side. We grabbed our table and could hear the kitchen sizzling away. The food came out about 10 minutes after we ordered, and it was honestly the best gyro I've had in the South Bay. I'm a fan of gyros, and Laith's is thinly sliced, wildly crispy on the edges, and moist in the center. The rice underneath was perfectly seasoned to complement the meat. The tzatziki and hummus tasted fresh, not overly processed or loaded with unnecessary ingredients. Unlike other places, this tzatziki was special--you could actually taste the Greek yogurt, the cucumber pieces, and the olive oil drizzled on top. Throughout our meal, the man working the front checked in with us and the other customers dining in, making sure everyone was well taken care of. We ended with the baklava, and as perfect as the gyro was, the baklava kept up--flaky, with a crunch you could hear on every bite. I'm a fan of Laith's, and even though I'm not in the area much, I'll drive out of my way for his food when I'm craving a great gyro, tzatziki, hummus, rice--everything. Next time I'm getting the falafel, just to see if it amazes me the way today's meal did. read more

Came about this little hole in the wall while I was at the smoke shop next door. A customer in line asked if it was any good and the smoke shop employee spoke highly of this place so I had to try it out. Only to find that same customer from the smoke shop there as well! I believe they just barely opened and the interior was sleek with a good amount of sitting area. Laith was kind and apologized for not being able to take our order as he was busy in the back but not to fret there is a touch screen to place an order yourself. Ordered x2 Beef Shawarma Wrap, Cucumber Salad, x2 Garlic Sauce and the Chocolate Maca Shake. I've had my fair share of Mediterranean cuisines and I can say everything was delicious! I devoured the that Beef Shawarma. & tbh, I did not expect to enjoy the shake as it contained Dates but it was by far my favorite, hands down. Would definitely recommend this establishment to family & friends. I wish I had taken a picture before digging in, there's always a next time. read more

History

Established in 2024.

We opened our first location in January 2024 with a simple goal: to serve fresh, authentic Mediterranean food to our community. We started small — inside a local market with a small kitchen, just 2 tables and 8 seats. Most of our orders were to-go, but our customers’ incredible support and loyalty helped us grow faster than we ever imagined. In addition to our traditional Mediterranean dishes, we’re proud to offer our popular healthy date shakes, made with quality ingredients and full of flavor. Thanks to the amazing support from our community, we moved into our own nearby location in January 2026. Now, with 24 seats and a space we can truly call our own, we’re excited to offer a more comfortable dine-in experience while continuing to serve the same great food and friendly service you’ve come to love. We’re grateful for everyone who has supported us from the beginning and look forward to welcoming new faces to our growing family.

Meet the Business Owner: Laith A.

My name is Laith, and my journey into food started in 2015 when I began importing date seed coffee from Jordan to the United States. Sharing this unique drink with people made me realize how much I enjoy bringing happiness to others through good food and drinks. Seeing how much people appreciated the flavors inspired me to turn that passion into something bigger. Through my experience importing from Jordan, I built relationships with trusted suppliers and learned how to source authentic ingredients from the Middle East. That journey eventually led me to start Laith’s Mediterranean, where I share authentic Middle Eastern flavors with the community. The best part for me is still seeing people enjoy the food and hearing how much they love it.

I really wanted to like this place, but it just didn't live up to my expectations. I ordered the…read morechicken and beef kabob, and my husband got the chicken and beef shawarma plate. Honestly, both dishes looked almost identical. The meat was cut into chunky pieces instead of being sliced. While the portion sizes were generous, the quality of the food just wasn't there. The seasoning was off, and the chicken and beef tasted low quality with lots of tendons. Mediterranean food is a broad category, and while I appreciate variations in flavor, the kabobs here were seasoned much differently from other Mediterranean spots in the area--and not in a good way. Overall, everything tasted off, and we just didn't enjoy it.

Okay-average place…read more Online ordering is convenient. Prices a bit expensive for the food amount. Chicken schwarma is better than the tri tip. Tri tip is a bit dry and chewy so would not recommend. The plate only comes with hummus and salad and there was no option to select alternatives. Taste and food isn't anything special and I would probably skip.

It's in a busy small shopping center with other small restaurants so it can get a bit busy, but there is extended parking as well.

I ordered the Combination plate with chicken and beef shawarma and it came with the rice and the most delicious Fatoosh salad the dressing was to die for and the salad portion was great! The flavor was just amazing, very flavorful with every bite and the pita bread was delicious with the their dipping sauces and the hummus as well. I waited maybe 10 min and then my food was ready. I even got a text to notify that my food was ready so even if to went to wait in your car or go do something quick the notify you and I loved that touch. I WILL def coming back the portions are great and the food is delicious and fresh and made to order. They have a fridge with some drinks as well. Over all I love the concept it's easy to order and food comes out fresh.. if you are looking for some delicious kabobs or Mediterranean food this is your spot here in Lomita. Thanks for great customer service!

I recently visited Laith's Cafe and was thoroughly impressed by the quality of their food and beverages. I ordered the Gyro Plate, which came with a generous serving of hummus, rice, tabouleh salad, garlic sauce, and tahini sauce. Each component of the dish was meticulously prepared, offering a delightful combination of flavors and textures. The gyro meat was perfectly seasoned and tender, the hummus was creamy and rich, and the tabouleh salad provided a fresh and tangy contrast. The garlic and tahini sauces added an extra layer of depth to the dish, making it a truly satisfying and fulfilling meal. To complement my meal, I tried the Roasted Fig Latte. It struck the perfect balance of sweetness, with a subtle yet distinctive fig flavor that was both unique and delicious. The latte was smooth and aromatic, making it a delightful accompaniment to the savory gyro plate. Overall, Laith's Cafe provided an exceptional dining experience with its flavorful dishes and innovative beverages. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious and memorable meal. read more

Laith's Mediterranean is such a gem! We celebrated my aunt's 70th birthday here, and the entire experience was wonderful from start to finish. The owners are incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating... they truly go out of their way to make you feel special. The restaurant is very clean and well kept, which made the experience even better. The food is absolutely delicious, made with fresh ingredients, and you can really taste the care put into every dish. Everything we ordered was flavorful and perfectly prepared. It's conveniently located in the same plaza as Bank of America and Vallarta, making it easy to find and access. If you're looking for amazing Mediterranean food with great service and a welcoming atmosphere, this place is a must-try. Highly recommend! read more

Laith's Mediterranean Cafe is a hidden gem for exceptional Mediterranean cuisine. Opting for the mix grill combo, I chose falafel and chicken shawarma, driven by my love for falafels. Accompanied by hummus, tzatziki, and basmati rice, the portions were generous and well worth the price. Their freshly made juices, like the pineapple pulse, are a highlight, with the added bonus of a free wellness shot for first-time patrons since just opening. Despite some wait times due to their recent opening and limited staff, the outstanding taste and service is worth coming back for. read more

I ordered online for pickup and the whole process was easy and hassle-free--my food was ready on time and still hot when I got there. I had the chicken wrap, cucumber salad, and rice, and everything was delicious. The chicken was flavorful and juicy, and they definitely did not get stingy with the meat in the wrap. The cucumber salad was fresh and refreshing, and the rice was perfectly cooked and well-seasoned. If you're looking for solid Mediterranean food with generous portions and an easy pickup experience, this place is a winner. Highly recommend! read more

Laith's Cafe is a gem! I stopped by for coffee, and it was absolutely delicious--full of rich, bold flavors that you just don't find everywhere. It's clear they take great pride in their craft. I can't wait to come back and try their Mediterranean food; the menu looks amazing! The person working the register, who I believe is the owner, was so pleasant, insightful, and welcoming. Their warm hospitality made the experience even better. This place is a must-visit for delicious coffee! read more

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. And I have found a winner, and they now have a new regular.

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.

The baba gannouj lacked its signature smoky flavor, the hummus was disappointing, and the pita was cold and thin. Additionally, the garlic sauce was not to our liking, and while the beef skewer had a good texture, it was under-seasoned. We were also told that potatoes were unavailable because the fryer was being cleaned. Regarding the service, we waited 30 minutes for our order. When I checked on the status after 20 minutes, the counter staff informed me it would be brought out when ready. However, 10 minutes later, our number was called and we had to collect the food ourselves for dine-in. There was about 4 people eating there, but I saw many to go orders go while where there(maybe the reason for the slow service). very spacious and the tvs where nice to have with low volume so you could have a conversation without yelling. I have previously visited your Compton location and found the food there to be delicious, so I hope this feedback is helpful for maintaining that same standard at this location.

I've never eaten in, but I've picked up food from here twice and have enjoyed their food at my sister's house at least one other time. The first thing I don't understand is how this place is in Torrance rather than Redondo Beach. I don't mean that I don't understand why they chose Torrance over Redondo Beach; I mean that I just don't understand the two cities' boundaries very well, because this feels like straight-up North Redondo to me. The second thing I don't understand is how this place hasn't expanded or multiplied or otherwise won the hearts and minds and stomachs of South Bayers near and far. But maybe it already has. The third thing I don't understand is why I don't come here more often. It's not that far from my sister's house, and I was dog-sitting there earlier this year. . . . I'm fresh out of things I don't understand. What I do understand is that the owners of this place (an Armenian brother and sister?) are amazing. The food is so good and fresh and flavorful. The menu is kind of all over the place, which in most cases is a red flag, but in the case of more than one restaurant owned and operated by Armenians (I'm including my cousin's restaurant before he sold it and retired), the more different items on the menu, the better. Or at least it's not a red flag. I promise. The combo deal is legit, but even without that deal, the prices are good, especially when you consider the food quality. Writing his review now makes me miss King Mediterrano even though I don't normally miss it or think about it. Those days are over. Next time I have calories to collect in the South Bay, I'm headed straight for Redondo Beach Boulevard.
