Chicken Kabob plate with mutabel and pickled vegetables
Nicole I.

What a hidden gem! Excellent food and super welcoming and kind service. The food is made fresh to order, and the little bit of a wait is well worth it. I had the chicken kabob plate, which came with tender and flavorful kabob, delicious rice, a grilled onion and pepper, grilled and lightly seasoned pita, and two sides. I chose the pickled veggies and mutabel (eggplant); both of which were incredible. There are tables inside for eating, and two small tables outside. I look forward to retuning! I loved that you could get the food for here or to-go. Thank you to the team!

This is my second time coming with a friend. This restaurant is beyond excellent food, service and ambiance. The restaurant is small but is the best place you will ever try Mediterranean food. My two visits have gone outstanding! Thank you Pita Paradise!

A hidden gem in the city of La Mirada. The food was amazing and made-to-order. The establishment was very clean and well-maintained. Try out the Lentil Soup, it took me by surprise how flavorful it is! I tried the Beef and Chicken plate with rice, spicy hummus, and seasoned fries. 10/10 would return again. Thank you Pita Paradise (:

Mixed Shawarma

Rola has been amazing ! She has been serving me the best Mediterranean meals for lunch since I discovered the place. I get the mixed Shawarma with Mediterranean salad and humus. The meal is always fresh. There is rarely a line, and it's calm and relaxing inside.

I recently gave Pita Paradise a try and while the experience was okay, I wouldn't say it's a go-to for the shawarma. The shawarma felt a bit off to me; more like a panini-style burrito with fusion fillings rather than the classic wrap I was expecting. On the other hand, my friend ordered one of the kebab plates and it looked and smelled very good; the grilled skewers were clearly prepared well and seemed like a solid choice.

Falafel plate, tabbouleh salad, grape leaves, cucumber yogurt salad
Chad K.

Unassuming in a strip mall behind Mr. V's Bar and Grill, but we were extremely impressed with the quality and taste of everything we ordered. We were coming here after walking the SFS Swap Meet for hours, so we were hungry and the food and portion size did not disappoint. We ordered the falafel plate, tabbouleh salad, grape leaves, and a cucumber yogurt salad. The pickled vegetables were crisp and fresh. The grape leaves were tart and bright and the falafel was crispy on the outside and steamy on the inside without being too greasy. We had a great meal and would definitely come back.

This is a cozy place with amazing food. A lot of places I've been have dry beef and chicken, but the meats here are tender and juicy! The rice that comes with the plates are seasoned well and everything goes well with the garlic sauce they have. I've also tried the wraps/sandwich they have and those are also great! A good proportion of meat, veggies, and sauce. Food is a 5/5, but my only complaint is the wait time for food can sometimes be quite long.

Cheese puff

Omg this meat quality is so good it's halal which is top notch and the meat literally melts in your mouth! Absolutely love this little hidden gem! I will definitely be back for more!!! Everything we had was perfect from the kebabs to the garlic sauce to the fresh pita bread all the salads chutney everything!!!!! This was freshness you can literally taste. Chef Sam is very kind as well. We will be ordering catering for our mosque gatherings from brother Sam as well!

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.

I stopped by Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet in Cerritos for a brunch-style meal…read more For a buffet, the price didn't seem too expensive at first, but after eating, I didn't necessarily feel like it was an amazing value for what I had. To be fair, I went on a weekend, so I paid the highest price. I could see this place being a much better value during weekday lunch. The inside was very clean, which I appreciated. One thing that felt a little awkward was the service setup. There didn't really seem to be servers inside, and you pay when you leave, so I wasn't completely sure how much tip made sense. I noticed they even had a 10% tip option, so I'm guessing they know the setup can feel a little unclear. The food overall was clean and decent. It felt like they had pretty much everything you would expect from an American-style Mediterranean/Middle Eastern buffet. Nothing really stood out as especially amazing, but there was a good variety, and most of the food gave me that "this is probably healthy" feeling. I'd consider coming back if I were with friends who really like Mediterranean food.

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!
