My friends and I were looking for Mediterranean food and came across Mezzaterranean near West Covina. Decided to give it a try, and we're so glad we did! I ordered the chicken shawarma plate to go, it came out in about 10 mins. The rice was super fragrant, fluffy, and not too greasy ( which I feel that's how some places make it). The chicken was perfectly seasoned, flavorful, juicy. The salad was crisp and refreshing, and the house made hummus was seriously good (smooth, creamy, and had that nice garlicky kick with a bit of tang). The interior is really clean, spacious, plenty of eating for 2 or more groups and nicely decorated. We also grabbed a piece of baklava, and it was delicious ; crispy layers, not too sweet, & the filling had a nice nutty flavor without being overly sticky. read more

Excellent healthy middle eastern food , awesome service , very clean with great vibes

Mezzaterranean is a gem. The falafel was fresh, crispy, and cooked just right, not the dry, overcooked kind you get at a lot of places. The hummus and salad tasted homemade, clearly made with care and fresh ingredients. What really makes this place special is the owner, Emilio. He walked around the restaurant checking in with customers, making sure everyone was enjoying their meal, and even treated a sweet group of older ladies to some extra treats. It has that neighborhood spot feel, where the owner genuinely knows and cares about his customers, but the food and quality never feel like they're cutting corners. They also offer vegetarian and vegan options, which is a great bonus. I'll definitely be back! read more

Food was good and prepared in very timely manner. Rice was soft and flavorful, schwarma not bad. My sides were rice, hummus, and tzatziki sauce (costs a couple dollars extra to replace it from the salad). I enjoyed the food, however I wish they put more rice... the container was not packed and the rice was maybe at the mid point line of the small to go box, a thinner layer than what I'm used to. I normally have more leftovers too compared to other Mediterranean places. The portion could be better for the price point, but overall the food was good and worth a try. read more

I generally don't like to post bad reviews, but I'm actually pretty disappointed in this place. We placed this order via grubhub and ordered the Trio Plate, Feta Cheese appetizer, and fries. Our food tasted like it went bad? My boyfriend and I immediately spit out the steak kabob on taking our first bites. The feta cheese smelled way too pungent for a normal feta you'd get at other restaurants, super markets, or farmer's markets. In all: the steak tasted like it was going bad, the fries tasted old, and the feta smelled way funkier than what one would expect of feta. The chicken and kefta kabobs tasted good, as did the rice and salad. I thought the hummus tasted fine but my boyfriend said it tasted a bit sour. It's pretty disappointing given that we splurged to get this order via Grubhub and basically spent $80 in total for food that tastes bad. read more

Purchased Mezzaterranean for lunch a few days ago for take-out and wondering if I went on an off day or not. Kefta Kebab Plate ($17.99): Two small ground beef kebabs served on a bed of rice with a side of hummus, Mezzaterranean salad, and pita bread. One of our kefta orders was fairly burnt so we had to spend time shaving off the burnt bits. The meat was a tad dry and needed the garlic dip to help enhance the flavors. Purchased a side of beef shawarma on the side with the same dry-ish flavors and not very tender. Hummus and tzatziki were standard. Perhaps I need to give this place another try, but even portions were just okay compared to other Mediterranean eateries at the same price point. read more

I've eaten it both their Rancho Cucamonga and West Covina locations and their food is really good. Their service is amazing too.. recently I catered my mom 71st birthday party with their food and it was a huge hit. read more

Interesting place, unassuming when you pull in, looks pretty inside! This place has not made up its mind yet, is is a fast food place or a restaurant? We ordered at the bar and sat down. Food came in waves, nothing special, but flavors was great, some came on plastic plates and some on porcelain, there is certainly a lot to improve but the food was great! read more

First visit and left very disappointed. I was meeting my wife for lunch and arrived about 5 minutes ahead of her. There was a chime on the front door, so the staff should have been alerted to my entrance. I stood by the order counter and took a couple photos for this review, then sat down at a table directly in front of the counter/cash register. No one came out to greet me or ask me if I was ready to order. Once my wife arrived, we stood there looking at the menu, then finally had to ring a bell to get someone to come out of the back and wait on us. The menu boards have no prices, so we had to look at a "to go" menu to figure out what was what. The staff was not very friendly, and later we saw a woman who was sitting at one of the tables, with a friend, get up and go behind the counter and take someone else's order. Was she an employee/management and just ignored us when we came in? FOOD: My wife initially tried to order the Beef Kebab Plate ($17.99), and was told they were out of beef (and this was at noon, lunchtime). She ended up getting the Lamb Kebab Plate ($20.99), and I ordered the Chicken Kebab Plate ($15.99), and two cans of soda. Both kebab plates were served with rice, hummus, Mezzaterranean salad, and warm pita bread. We waited 30 minutes from ordering to delivery at our table. There was only one other couple who had ordered before we arrived and were waiting on their food. A man came in after us, and received his food about 10 minutes before us. We had also ordered a "to go" item, the Feta Cheese Cold Mezza ($9.99), which was served with sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, and drizzled with olive oil. Both kebabs were a little on the dry side, and not too flavorful, but we did enjoy the fetta cheese mezza later that evening. Unfortunately, I don't think we'd visit again, as it wasn't a very good experience, and the food was mediocre at best. It's too bad, as we were looking forward to a new, local Mediterranean eatery. read more

Met a girlfriend here for lunch yesterday. We couldn't figure out what we wanted to eat, so I looked on yelp as we both like Mediterranean food. I'm so glad I found this place! We both ordered the Chicken Kebab Plate. OMG!! Everything was incredible! The chicken was juicy and tender, the rice was delicious, the hummus was incredible, and the salad was great. The pita bread was really good. It wasn't soft and thick like I'm used to. It was thinner and tasted homemade. The man who took our order (might have been the owner) was very nice. He told us to ask for more pita bread when we were ready, as they don't like it to get cold. Of course, we did ask for more pita bread. I can't wait to go back and try something else. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area and craving Mediterranean food! read more

$18 for a chicken kebab. It didn't come with the garlic paste. It had a literal salad no pickled veggies. The chicken was ok the whole plate was ok. It was lunch for my birthday I love Mediterranean food this place is literally down the street from me so I sent my husband to get me food from here but next time I rather send him to oasis grill in Covina. It's affordable and they send the works in their plates read more

What a fantastic place to eat. In a small strip mall but a large space. The service was friendly and accommodating. Made sure we were satisfied and offered extras. My coworker and I both had lentil soup that tasted amazing with plenty of ingredients that was not skimpy. Served extra fresh and hot. The sandwich was top tier with plenty of ingredients to make it full and satisfying. The falafels inside were vegan which had a nice crispy not too fluffy. Offered us hot sauce and wow that was perfect amount of heat. You can really taste the ingredients in the food which is very refreshing not to have sauce cover the flavor. Both my coworker and I walked away knowing this place was a gem! Thank you Mezzaterranean. Defiantly gained a new customer. read more

Attended a meeting where we ordered from Mezzaterranean, and it was served fresh, and delicious. I had the chicken kebab plate with rice pilaf, hummus and salad. All very tasty. I cannot comment about the restaurant or staff as we did not eat in house (hence 4 stars vs. 5), but the food is high quality. Looking forward to trying more stuff on the menu. read more

Really delicious Mediterranean place! I love that it's next to Porto's. I got the trio, and while it was a bit expensive ($32), it definitely filled up two people. The meat flavor was good, quality of meat was good, rice was super fluffy, and the salad/hummus was yummy too. I also got the Armenian sausage appetizer and that was really unique and flavorful. Lots of seating indoors, which is greatly appreciated. I'd definitely come back, the only thing that makes me hesitate is the price range. read more

Freshly made Lebanese food, nice decor, and atmosphere. Impeccable and warm service. Just like mama's.

$27.50 for this is insane. The piece of salmon is the width of my finger and the size of my palm. read more

Great ambiance. Service was great, the owner is super nice and the food is delicious.

It's really good food when it's open, the last 3 times I went there were either closed for the day even though operating outa showed open or closed early. Like way early. Almost 1hr- 30 min earlier than there hours. But if you can find them open there two person meal is a good deal. I dropped 1 star because it kinda sucks to drive there during operating hours and it's closed. read more

I came in for a quick lunch because I had heard good things about this restaurant . When I approached the counter to choose from the wall mounted menu, there were no prices listed, so when the guy asked me what I wanted, I asked why no prices were listed? He says, here and slides a nasty, wrinkled, laminated menu across the counter, then rudely walks off and disappears to the back room somewhere. I looked at the menu, and decided what I wanted, but after a few minutes, he never came back. I just walked out, so I never tried their food. I ended up finding a better Mediterranean restaurant close by called Georgie's Mediterranean . I won't be back read more

I caught them during opening hours. I might have been their first customer of the day. I ordered the Beef Lule as that is my favorite thing to order at Mediterranean restaurants. Food: The food was very presentable. It looked clean and well organized. What it lacked was a bit of savory flavor to the lule. The texture is also a bit grainier than I'd like. I think it was well made and though it wasn't the flavor I was looking for I think many people would enjoy this. Overall it tasted fairly healthy. I'd suggest they add a sauce of some type because that seems to be a missing item for this plate. Came with a pita, salad, and a lot of hummus. Service: Lady was pretty nice. Didn't have much interaction since I ordered to go. Environment: The place looked very clean and reminds me of a modern-looking coffee shop. Price: $20 a bit on the high side in my point of view. Food: 3 Service: 4 Environment: 5 Price: 3 read more

Food was served hot and delicious. Service was amazing and hospitable. The ambiance was very calming and clean.

A hidden gem. From the outside you would never expect what it would look inside! Itnwas very beautifully organized and clean. Spacious and descently spread out. Perfect during this crazy pandemic. Coworkers wanted to try this place out looking at the awesome pics on yelp. Thank you fellow yelpers! I got the chicken shawarma plate. I have had better but being a place in random area of covina, its not bad at all. Yes, as many yelpers also said, its a bit pricey but i would also add what isn't nowadays. Sad but true. I actually thought the portion i got was quite descent in my opinion. Or the owners are listening to costumers and if that is so, I think they deserve some love for having a passion in what they do and out care in their restaurant. Although i had better, this was very clean and light which i liked. The garlic butter i can admit can't compare to Zankou but again, its a cleaner and lighter version (less butter thick and more greek yogurt like base). The owner was super nice and quite an elegant lady if I could add. She gave us each a baklava to try and good marketing as I am sure to get more. Many baklava i have tried elsewhere are usually way too sweet with way too much sweetened syrup on it. These were perfect!! Will definitely come back again! read more

I tried this place a couple of times, I've tried the beef kebab, chicken shawarma, and chicken kebab plate. I'd highly recommend putting your order in by calling or online order, it takes quite a while for one plate. Personally, for the price, the amount of food isn't a lot. I like a lot of sides with my food but all the sides such as the pickled radishes you have to buy separately. It's a quick fix for when you're craving Mediterranean. read more

I cannot put in words how delicious and fresh the food is here! Today I ordered the grape leaves and a side of humus, although yesterday I ordered the chicken sharwma plate which was pared with a backlava desert! Service is always top tier! The ambience is chill laidback. read more

Great tasting, quality food. And excellent service. I'd return and I reccommend to others.

If I could give 6 stars I would, this place is amazing!! We tried the chicken, Shawarma, hummus, grape leaves, and falafel and ALL were excellent! They were out of tahini sauce, and next thing we know they had made a fresh batch just for us! I highly recommended trying this place, you will love it! *They also do wedding catering! read more

I came here after a doctor's appointment and saw that this was nearby. Last time I was there, they took orders at the door and I waited in my car. The wait was not long and the guy brought my order to my car. I had ordered their chicken shawarma platter ($12.99) , mulberry drink for myself and a soujuk sandwich ($10.99) for my brother. Their chicken shawarma is juicy and piled on top of rice; the platter came with a side of their house salad with hummus drizzled with olive oil. The salad was fresh and the hummus was creamy. No toum (garlic paste) was given with the platter but a piece of pita bread came with it. The mulberry drink was good, not too sweet. The soujuk sandwich came with tomatoes, pickles, garlic spread and hummus wrapped together in a pita bread. My brother liked it, it was spicy enough for him. No indoor dining with everything for take-out only. The staff is nice. read more

Not bad. Stopped by for lunch on a Friday. I was craving some Mediterranean. This place had good reviews and photos. So I gave it a try. Work pays for my lunch on fridays so this is an unbiased opinion. Not happy but nit disappointed either. The wrap was good. Saucy. Soft meat. Flavorful. Portion was small for the $ though. A met with a friend and her food came up to $19. That's too much for take out on a lunch trip in my opinion. Again, for the quality and portions. Neither of us were unhappy. Glad I tried it and now I know. Won't be coming back but thanks for the good visit. read more

Mezzaterranean - Beef wrap. Meh. I'm just a good photographer lol - Mediterranean Near Me - West Covina, California

Some things are not on the online menu, such as the tzatziki sauce. We had ordered to go pick up through DoorDash and had to call the restaurant to add it to the order. They were kind enough to add it "free this time" to the order. However, when we received the lunches, the garlic sauce we had ordered wasn't there. So I guess they substituted the paid garlic sauce with the "free" tzatziki! Our chicken kebabs were pretty moist and tender, and the hummus was also smooth. The rice pilaf was slightly mushy. I really wish that the places around Covina and Glendora would put out for basmati rice, like my favorite Massis Kabob restaurants. They were generous with the pita breads and the order did arrive on time. read more

Mezzaterranean - Chicken kebab plate. Large chicken pieces. - Mediterranean Near Me - West Covina, California

I was craving Mediterranean food and saw that this location was only a 5 minute drive from my school. The building is large and spacious inside. Very clean and the gentleman that helped me was very nice and polite. I ordered a chicken kebab wrap. I asked for my food to be a to-go order and it wasn't until I got back to school that I realized I was given the incorrect order. I received a beef schwarma wrap instead of the chicken kebab I payed for. At that point, I was extremely hungry so I just ate it. The size of the wrap is quite small for the price, but that's most places nowadays due to inflation. Pita was on the drier side and I did feel that the wrap was too saucy. Overall, the establishment is nice but I have had better Mediterranean elsewhere. read more

The food is delicious and the service is great. I like to call in my order and they have it ready when I arrive with no issues. Food is always consistently good and I love their desserts. Parking in the front is never an issue, staff is always kind. read more

Came here with a large group of colleagues for lunch and had a great experience. Service was great - food came out at a reasonable pace despite us being such a large group, quickly corrected a wrong order, and they very kindly offered us some extra drinks and coffee to end our meal. I had the lamb kebab plate and thought the seasoning was great, although the meat was just a little tough for my preference. Surprisingly I absolutely loved the citrusy salad dressing. Everything else I sampled from other orders were good too - the baba ghannouj, tabouleh, and chicken shawarma fries. Portions were good. read more
