    Great lamb chops. Salmon was good. Spinach was good. I didn't like the drink. Service was excellent

    There's nothing Junior about The Diplomat Junior. With their recent expansion and outdoor seating, it's a full-fledged Mediterranean restaurant and it's a local fave of ours! Today, I stopped in for lunch with one of my daughter's in prep for taking her to college on Friday. It was closing in on 100 degrees outside as I walked in to what felt like the North Pole or Glendora. It was so cool and comfortable, we knew immediately we chose the right spot. We were greeted as we walked in and told we could choose anywhere we liked. So, we grabbed a table in the new expanded area. Which, to our surprise was now nicely decorated and sound-dampened. Upon a prior visit months back, when they initially opened the new area, it was basically a box - a very loud box. But, now, they've decorated it to the theme of the restaurant and added wall decor to reduce the sound and lighting that provides for a wonderful dining atmosphere. Our waitress was with us within a minute and was super attentive and friendly throughout our lunch. Hayley and I both ordered a Chicken Shawarma lunch plate and a side of fries with Spicy Lebne. The wrap was fantastic! The chicken was cooked to perfection! The spice was just right. The sauce and toppings were all apportioned appropriately. And, the side of hummus, pita, and red cabbage topped it all off! Prob didn't need the fries, but they came out super hot and crispy and were outstanding as a dipping tool for the lebne, no need for the extra pita so we packed that up for a snack at home to finish off the left over hummus. We've been coming to The Diplomat Jr. for years and it keeps getting better. That's refreshing, as many places tend to do the opposite over time - they lose the spark that once made them a local fave, but not here. We also love the dinner plates and often bring larger family parties too. Now, that our three are all off to college by Friday, the next time we all meet up for dinner will be an entirely different experience - and I'm thinking The Diplomat will be just the place.

    That lentil soup was AMAZING! Get it!! I shared appetizers with my Friend as well. First time here. Food was good. Atmosphere was nice as well. Paring can be a bit tough in this area on weekends, I'm sure. Tucked away in a downtown type area.

    One of my boyfriends fav restaurants that he wanted to take me to and I understand why We ordered the chicken shawarma plate and the beef kebab plate as well as some Brussels sprouts. Everything was super flavorful and fresh. My favorite though was the Brussels sprouts. It is 100% in my top 3! Service was great and everything came out quick so no complaints at all!

    Greek filet mignon salad amazing

    Came during lunch and had amazing service and great food. Ordered the filet Greek salad and the filet arugula salad. Great serving size for the price and the meat was so tender. It really was grilled to perfection. We also ordered the hummus with the filet. I am ruined for life in a good way! This is honestly the best hummus I have ever had in my life. So creamy and flavorful. With the added steak or not hands down the best. When we go out to other spots I will not even want to try others it is that good! The service is top notch, my drink glass was never empty and I we were checked on by their amazing staff. The music playing is great and the restaurant is very clean. We will be back to try more of your delicious food!

    beef fillet kebab

    I was recommended this spot and so came here for a solo dinner after a long day of work. Ordered a plate of beef fillet kebab...and damn it was amazing. The spices they used were so flavorful and the meat was so tender, and the rice pilaf it came with was full of savory goodness as well. My server Ricardo was very sweet and explained the menu quite well. It was pretty slow for a dinner time service, but the restaurant was cozy and homey, I would love to go back but with friends/family next time.

    I can't speak highly enough of the food, service and helpfulness of this restaurant. We had a…read moreparty for 75 people. They catered it for us and everyone absolutely loved the food. We kept hearing that it was the best Mediterranean food they had ever tasted. The owners were so helpful in helping us figure out how much food we needed, so reassuring and accommodating. They gave us so many ways to customize the meal so it worked to make our busy day easy. They were kind, generous and we will be going back time after time.

    OPEN UNTIL 11PM!!! If you come home late and don't know what…read moreto do but also don't want to get in n out or some fast food... THIS IS THE SPOT! The employee (owner maybe?) who helped us explained thoroughly about the menu and gave us suggestions. We ended up getting chicken shawarma combo and beef shawarma combo because we were hungry but the portion is humongous!!! This place has a shred style of meat (like al pastor in taco stand) and that's what I got but they should have the grilled meat on a sword looking stainless tool. The beef had the slight lamb-ish flavor which I like and the garlic spread wasn't too strong so I could smother everywhere. The salad was also very very good. I want to learn how to make the dressing. It was insanely good. The restaurant has a small eat in space. 3-4 two persons tables. We took our foods home but if you were to eat inside your food will be served on a wooden tray. I'll be coming back for their Borek and sandwich.
