Food - Finally a DELICIOUS Mediterranean food spot near me! My mom and I shared a chicken shawarma plate with hummus, cucumber salad, and basmati rice. And let me tell you... it was REALLY GOOD!! The plate also comes with 4 pieces of pita bread. The hummus is perfect, the rice, the chopped up chicken and cucumber salad! We also tried the mango tango smoothing with the date syrup and that was also good! I was iffy about date syrup, but it actually wasn't that bad! Service - food does take a while so calling ahead would be great! It only takes a while because they cook it while you order it. Ambiance - it's located inside the angelito market, inside the Carson plaza. Spacious inside with seats to eat as well! read more

Food and SERVEice is top notch. They SET you up with a lot of food. I drove here in BUMPer to bumper traffic from HB and it was well worth every bit of that. read more

I absolutely love the food here. Everything is fresh, authentic and flavorful. I love the chicken plate as well as the falafel. The side dishes are amazing! Laith and his wife are not just amazing cooks but great hosts, very welcoming and friendly. All my coworkers come to eat here now, def recommend! read more

Amazing food and even better service! Will definitely be coming by again. The place is new but don't be intimidated it's worth the trip!

I am originally from Cyprus, the little island in the Mediterranean near the Middle East. I've spent a lot of time in the US and I can easily admit that this was the best falafel, hummus, tabbouleh I've had here! The place isn't too inviting to "sit-in" but the food is incredibly delicious - tasted like home. Will definitely be going again. The service was extremely nice, everyone had a smile on their face and greeted us when we walked through the door. read more

Tried this place for the first time and I was blown away by how delicious my meal was. 10/10 for sure. Chicken shawarma wrap was the best. Super fresh and tender. Usually pita bread can get a little chewy sometimes not at Laiths. My pita bread was soft and melted in my mouth. They cook your chicken on the grill in real time. I was beyond impress. I also tried the shake can't remember the name the first one on the shake menu. It was so fire. For a drink to be so healthy but delicious at the same time is rare. I was very close to going back for dinner the same day lol. This place is a MUST try. read more

My husband and I have come here a couple times, and each time, THEY DO NOT MISS. Now, their dishes are BOMB. Whatever you order, it'll be juicy and delicious. Get their gyro. It's great. Their chicken? Amazing. Beef? Fantastic. BUT--I'm going to focus on their falafel. So, normally, I do not like falafels. I've tried them multiple times in the past and people have SWORN that it was the best at [insert location] and each time I've been disappointed. I'm used to them being so dry, bland, and just not good. The owner assured me that theirs ISN'T dry and that it's quite good. I had my doubts. I've been told that before. But, since their other dishes were so good, we decided to try falafels along with our main dishes. And wow, it was the first time I was able to enjoy falafels, and he was right!!--they were NOT dry and they were delicious. I can finally start to understand how vegetarians enjoy falafels and not burst into tears because their food is sad and gross. TLDR; probably the best, low-key Mediterranean spot in the South Bay. read more

So happy I found this hidden gem in Carson! This is mostly a to-go place since there's only a few small tables available. Lots of parking available. We ordered the chicken shawarma wrap, beef shawarma wrap, and falafel. The food was amazing with a generous portion size. I'll definitely come back to taste more of their food. read more

Great food and service. I hope the owner reopens and update new location. If anyone knows please share.

My second time here. It's a small cafe but definitely worth checking out. I got the gyro plate last time so I figured I would try out the Grilled Mix Plate this time. Huge portions so you don't have to worry about not starving. Owner is really good guy. Cares for his customers. read more

I'm so sad I didn't take a picture of the food...nor of the owner Laith and his wife. They are such amazing, wonderful people! So friendly and so kind to explain their menu. Love its simplicity to make sure the quality of their food is still top notch. They also offered us one of their drinks so we tried their cinnamon rose latte but using the date instead of coffee and wow what a burst of flavors! That was really really lovely to drink, light with a depth of flavor and the rose was subtle. We tried both their chicken and the beef and both were so delicious! Definitely would come back to this place when we're in the area! read more

I am SO happy they're open again! The best Mediterranean food EVER. it's worth my 25/30 min drive every single time.

Never had food here but did have a pour over which was pretty tasty. My only complaint is that it was lukewarm! Please figure out a method of keeping it hot for the customer. Aside from that, great drink! read more

Was in the mood for Mediterranean and was in the Carson area due to visiting Dignity Health Sports Center and stumbled across this cafe! The food was fresh to order. My son and I shared Chicken Shawarma plate with a side of humus and rice. We de devoured the entire play and my son isn't really into chicken, but he really liked the chicken here. Garlic sauce was tasty too! Don't expect it to be a restaurant. Seating is limited with one picnic bench, and two small tables inside. read more

Best mediterranean food ever. The owners are amazing; customer service, care and satisfaction are their priority.

This place is amazing! I am on a detox where I can't have coffee and have been craving coffee! I had the fig and date coffee and it was amazing! I can't believe this is not Coffee! It reminds me of Armenian coffee because the seeds are left at the bottom of the cup! I did eat the leftover which has fiber? If you can't have coffee and want some thing that taste like coffee, I recommend his place! I even bought a bag to take home with me! read more

This is an amazing restaurant with a very unique homemade recipes. It's very hard to find a Falafel and Shawarma that taste like this one. This is what you get when you go to the Middle East. And I highly recommend their Medidate with cardamom roasted seed. read more

Haven't tried the food but while I was there trying the matcha, I was given a sample of the garlic sauce and hummus. Both were super fresh and tasty. Can't wait to return for lunch. The matcha was great. They don't use sugar, only date syrup which they also sell. Laith was very nice and helpful. read more

I don't live in the area but was grabbing food to meet a friend. I did a random Yelp search and Laith Cafe came up as a good lunch spot and the 5 star reviews also drew me in. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate (with cucumber salad, hummus and rice) with a cinnamon rose latte. The food and drink did not disappoint! The chicken was well seasoned and flavorful, along with the sides. The latte was also yummy and had the perfect sweetness with the date syrup they add. Apparently they only use date syrup to sweeten their drinks and don't use sugar syrup, which is a unique touch. They share space with another store so that was interesting. It also meant their seating was limited, but I imagine they're mostly a grab and go spot for most customers. Overall, I would definitely come back and try their beef plate. The owner was also super friendly and provided great customer service. read more

10/10. The beef plate alone is worth the drive. Juicy beef, explosion of flavors, and the perfect amount of cucumber salad. Healthy, good quality Mediterranean food I didn't know I needed.. Service was immaculate. I love supporting small and new businesses--lucky to have found this gem. It's gonna pop off, I just know it. Garlic sauce and hot sauce is a must.. I'm so glad I don't have to drive up to Hollywood for incredible shawarma. Note: This was two servings (for me).. definitely will be back. Can't wait to take it to work. read more

As a flight attendant I travel all over and get to try little hole in the wall places that normally people won't get to. This is just the cutest little place. It's small, but I could feel the warmth and loving ambiance the second I walked in. The food smells fantastic, made to order, obviously . I wasn't sure what to get but the cashier and owner was super welcoming and helped me through the order. Though he said everything taste fantastic. (He wasn't wrong, the food is delicious) I ordered the chicken shawarma plate. Not only did he sell me on a plate, he also recommended a fantastic coffee which was a cinnamon rose latte! Hands down so incredibly delicious. Honestly he was hands down the nicest person I've interacted with in a long while and this place is a place I'll come back to over and over again. Support this local business. read more

I was looking to change up the normal lunch routine and came across this gem on Yelp. I scheduled pick up through Yelp/Grubhub and ordered the beef shawarma plate. It seemed a little pricey at $17.99, but I trusted the 5 star ratings and reviews. The place is in an unassuming strip mall at the back of a strange store with random counters. Food was not ready at my designated pick up time, but it only took a couple of minutes to finish up my order. The food was incredibly fresh and restaurant quality. Beef was tender. Hummus was fresh. Cucumber salad was delicious. The pita bread was hot and fresh. The employees were hard working and hustling. I could not recommend this place any more than I have. Parking spots are a little tight for a big truck, but manageable. Definitely will return and added to my lunch rotation. If you think The Halal Guys is good Mediterranean food, you'll never go back. read more

First time here and will defiantly be returning. The service was great and so nice. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate with the cucumber salad and hummus,10/10. Can't go wrong with the garlic sauce on the side. Ordered a small oat milk latte with light sweeter and it was perfect! Wish I had this spot in orange so I can defiantly get the coffee often. Had to finish my order with something sweet and got the baklava read more
