    Okay Bellflower! Why I didn't came back sooner?? I came back to my old town and found this restaurant. Want Mediterranean flavor? This is your call! This restaurant is being here already a year probably... I walk in and I was greeted by the owner, Cecilia. I told her it was my first time there and I started tasting the lamb and chicken meat, it was bomb! I always struggle finding good Mediterranean food and healthy food choices! This restaurant met my expectations with fresh, well seasoned food. The restaurant is very clean, wheelchair accessible and has a QR code menu. Prices are a bit high but, but! I don't mind spending a little bit more for something healthier and home made food taste. I am giving a four because the plate could have a bigger side of meat and I love all sides but I feel the plate could be filled with more of what I got, other than that , I am sure I will return to the restaurant!

    Everything here was super dry. Really dry...

    Ok late post from February work lunch I had earlier this year. Reading all the good reviews thinking maybe I just had a bad experience? Anywho, came in go the bowl 2 proteins. Dry. Like reaaally dry. It was pretty bad. Veggies tastes like they been sitting on the warming tray for a minute. Came in around noon-ish so doesnt make sense to me. Gyro meat was dry, grilled veggiesnwere dry, hummus was mid, sauce was good. Staff was nice, mentioned was my first time there and offered suggestions. Def willing to give it a other try, maybe caught them on an off day. I dunno.

    Chicken & Falafel BOWL
    Mariella S.

    This had to be the yummiest meal i've had in a long time. i got the bowl with chicken and falafel, i've never been the biggest falafel fan but this might have changed my mind. The serving size was really good for the price, and it feels like a healthy meal overall! We ordered pick up so I can't say much about the inside of the restaurant but I did see they had good amount of seating available and the girl who gave us our order seemed very nice! :)

    Food was fresh and delicious! Service was prompt and graceful. It was brunch time with Gemi and I was starving! This spot is gonna be a local gem

    Fantastic bowl. No rice & mixed up. Yum!

    OMG. Delicious, Homemade, Healthy, Fermented REAL food! My 1st time here, so I mistakenly got too many toppings. Usually eating out, you must add more sauce & cheese for flavor, but not here! Next time, I will get it just the way it comes. Clean beautiful dining area. Excellent service & they can list their short ingredients list. Food the way Mom & God designed! No seed oils used--only olive oil. A lot of meat in the bowls!

    Build your own bowl, with chicken yummm

    OK I'm so impressed! Finally a good Mediterranean place on this side of town :') everything is so flavorful and you build it as you wish! Cava who? I'm def coming back to try more things. The price is also great for the huge portion you get. Highly recommend this place! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, the veggies were crisp and fresh, the rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned, the sauces are a great finish for an explosion of flavors that go so well together! Yummmssss

    The bowl with chicken
    Mari H.

    Glad I picked this spot to order my lunch from. This will definitely be on my rotation. I ordered the bowl with chicken. It was very tasty. I also ordered a side of hummus. Wow the hummus is so good...I could not stop eating it!

    This is one of my go-to places during lunch. Staff is very nice and they give you a lot of meet. My pita is always stuffed. Food is delicious too. I like the beef gyro.

    Pita Bowl with Gyro (lamb and beef mix)
    Nancy A.

    The bowl is simple but I feel very healthy eating this. The portions are not outrageous but just right for a nice lunch. The gyro meat is very flavorful too (I like the chimichurri sauce).

    Bowl with gyro & falafel
    Selma K.

    The food here is amazing! Got the falafel & gyro with seasoned rice & lettuce, tried the chicken as well & all 3 were really yummy! The portions here's really good & I love that there was parking & spaces to sit. Would defs come back here again

    Chicken bowl with everything but pickled cucumbers and jalapeño
    Khalilah R.

    The food is delicious, fresh, seasoned well, the staff is nice and welcoming, I eat here every week, it's always clean, you can order online , if you like Mediterranean food you will love this food.

    Chicken BOWL

    Wow where do I even start. This place is healthy, delicious and affordable! I got the chicken bowl and it comes with a tiny piece of pita bread for a total of $17. Very good bang for your buck. The chicken is so flavorful and perfectly seasoned. The spicy cilantro is definitely spicier than the spicy red pepper sauce. The only thing I'd do differently next time is order an extra side of pita bread. Definitely give this place a try if you want healthy food full of flavor. I ordered online and my order was ready by the time I got there, staff was friendly as well.

    Kabab Crush delivers a satisfying and well-executed meal with their Beef Kabab Combo Plate…read more While it's a bit on the pricier side, the portion more than justifies the cost. The plate comes with three filet mignon skewers, each incredibly juicy, buttery, and tender--clearly cooked with care and quality ingredients. The rice is another highlight: deeply flavorful with just the right amount of seasoning, making it a perfect complement rather than an afterthought. The combo also includes pita and two sides; I chose the hummus and yogurt cucumber, which added a nice balance of richness and freshness to the meal. Be prepared for a bit of a wait, as the food does take some time, but it's evident everything is made fresh and to order--well worth the patience. Overall, a hearty, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared plate that earns a solid 5

    Finally doing this spot justice with a review because this is hands-down hubby and I's favorite…read moreMediterranean place. We've been here a good five times and I'm finally writing a review--better late than never. Parking is easy and there's a decent amount of seating both inside and outside. Ambience-wise, it's your typical fast-casual, in-and-out vibe. Nothing fancy and not super pretty inside, but don't let that fool you. Once the food hits your tongue, it's game over. Hubby and I are creatures of habit and always order our usual plates. He gets the beef and lamb kebabs, and honestly the portion sizes are so generous that our plates are interchangeable every single visit. A must-have side is their Mediterranean salad--get the large so you can save some for leftovers the next day. For my plate, I always order the red cabbage, hummus, sumac onions, and of course the Mediterranean salad, and it is always absolutely delicious. For the entrée, I go with the chicken and beef shawarma. The meat is perfectly shredded and pairs so well with their fluffy rice, plus the generous amount of garlic and tahini sauce. The only downside I would say is the pita bread. I personally don't care for how dry it can be, but to be fair, the best pita bread I've ever had was in Athens, Greece, so it's very hard to compare when most pita breads here are premade. Service is always fast and on point. This place is an absolute must-try if you're craving Mediterranean food. Happy eats!

    Great food quality for the price - their lunch pricing at $21.99 is quite a deal. Dinner at $28.99…read moreis also great too. In addition, at dinner only, each person can order one lamb shank - just this piece of meat alone is worth your $28.99 visit. The restaurant food section is maintained very cleanly, food is beautifully displayed for a self-serve buffet restaurant. Plenty of seating area with ability to accommodate larger parties, and feels family friendly. The only shortcoming they have is that their fruit section tastes consistently unappealing, and some of the desserts don't tastes too great either. But at least their main dishes taste good. Regardless, this is a regular lunch spot frequented, and would bring friends over for dinner here, if they ever feel like Mediterranean.

    As a buffet, I consider Dimassi's in Cerritos a game changer. This is a Mediterranean themed…read morebuffet that's only $22 before 4pm on Monday through Friday. For dinner on the weekdays it's only a few dollars more ($29). On weekends it's $33 all day. I mention the price because I consider it a no-brainer for a weekday lunch. I agree with the criticism that the protein options can be limited. You aren't going to be getting filet mignon kabobs for lunch. But their chicken options, their fried fish filet, and their gyro meat is not bad. If you are looking for the premium kabobs, there are many Mediterranean options in the area that you can get that. What makes this place truly worth it are their delicious salad options, their warm, house made pita bread, their abundant options of spreads (hummus, baba ghanoush, garlic sauce). The multiple options for mediterranean salads are really what I crave from here. For $22, if I can have a multi course meal featuring 4-5 types of refreshing salads, fish filet, warm pita with hummus, a gyro (assembled on your own with their ingredients), a soft drink, and baklava. Considering the fact that I spend $16 on a combo meal at Carl's Jr or a salad wrap at Sweetgreen, this is truly a no brainer. If you do come here for dinner ($29-33), know that you can special order their braised lamb shank. I like to eat this with the pita bread, some roasted veggies, and one of their delicious spreads, but you do what you like.
