    Omg! Just was driving around did a Google search for Mediterranean food and this gem came up! Nice quaint atmosphere! Very nice owner! Food and service AMAZING! Definitely will patronize again when in the area!

    Support small local businesses that offer yummy food. Cute spot, friendly staff and a fat 3 meat meal for $30. Everything tasted fresh and delicious would return.

    A girlfriend and I were planning to meet for lunch, but the Mediterranean restaurant we've been to before is closed on weekends. I looked on yelp and found this amazing little restaurant, and I'm so glad! The owner took our order and explained the menu. We both ordered the Chicken Thigh entrée. He brought out hummus, pita bread, and their house salad while our meals were being prepared. OMG!! Everything was absolutely DELICIOUS!! The pita bread was warm, soft, and fresh. The hummus is probably the best I've ever had. The salad was fabulous. Our meals were beautifully presented, with the rice in a heart shape. The portion was so large. I have tons of leftovers! We both loved everything and plan to meet there again soon. If you are in the area and craving Mediterranean food, make sure to stop in and check out this amazing restaurant!

    Definition of a hidden gem. I traveled 40 minutes to try this wonderful little restaurant and it was definitely well worth it. Super friendly staff, amazing food, and very clean dining area. They do have a bathroom since one post mentioned they weren't sure. The filet kabob and the chicken thigh were so delicious and tender. Can't forget that magical garlic sauce!

    True Love Kitchen has unexpectedly elevated my appreciation and love for Mediterranean cuisine!!!!! Ordered the Chicken Thigh and Chicken Luna Platter. Everything on the plate was delicious. The Chicken, rice, jalapeño, tomato, hummus, salad, and pita were each prepared perfectly and blended well together. The subtle enhancing seasoning was perfect and allowed the freshness of the ingredients to delight my palate. If you review the restaurants I have visited, you will see over 50 Mediterranean locations across the U.S. and Europe. True Love is one of my top 3!!!!! My only wish is that they were more centrally located so that more of you could be blessed by their warm hospitality, amazing food, and humbling reminder that great things come the most understated packages!

    Hidden gem Mediterranean food in Rosemead.The best Mediterranean food I've ever tasted, especially their protein. Everything is made fresh when you place your order. SO Worth if you're dining in or take-out. I've heard more people order takeout than dine in. However, when I dined in, the staff's kitchen, teamwork is pretty funny while they're cooking and blasting their music. Friendly staff throughout, and if you sign up for their loyalty program, you'll get a discount coupon for your next visit. Filet Mignon Chicken Thigh Combo: Comes with a side salad and pita bread with chickpea hummus. I love their side salad because it's not as sour compared to other restaurants. The pita bread is so soft and the chick pea sauce was smooth and rich. Honestly, the protein was what made the whole dish stand out. Both the filet mignon and chicken thigh were so soft and juicy, it made me question which one was my favorite.

    The food is amazing! Love Mediterranean food and this hits the spot. We had two combo platters and the feta garlic fries. Good quality and great taste. Check it out if you're a Mediterranean food lover!

    Stopped by here for dinner with my partner and it's become my new favorite spot for Mediterranean food in the SGV! Everything I tried was so flavorful and absolutely delicious: all the meats I tried were juicy, hummus was so smooth and creamy, and their babaganoush (not on their daily menu so check if they have it) was my favorite thing I tried! The workers are all so attentive and nice the moment you walk in. The seating is very minimal but this place is really a hidden gem! Parking: free lot

    Everything was delicious, fresh and made to order.

    Everything was freshly made and you could taste it! Delicious hummus and the meat was perfect cooked with a little char on the outside but perfect moist and tender in the inside

    Garlic Fries

    OH EM GEE! It's located by the cemetery on Potrero Grande. We were greeted and seated right away. They brought out hot pita breads, hummus and veggies. I'm a sucker for hot pita breads! It's so hard not to eat all the sides before your entree comes out! Here's what we ordered: Garlic Fries - 5/5 Chicken Thigh and Beef Lule - 5/5 Beef Lule - 5/5 Everything was made fresh, hot and not dry! To be honest, the highlight of the show is the chicken thigh! The marinade in the chicken is pretty good IMO. Wrap a piece of chicken in a pita bread with garlic sauce and veggies makes it all perfect! We were skeptical a bit because it's a new restaurant for us. Compared to some of the other middle eastern restaurants we've been to, this spot was not bad at all. We enjoyed the food and the hospitality. Definitely will be returning.

    I love Mediterranean food and I have been eyeing this place ever since it opened. Its located in the small plaza where Tozai used to be so there is plenty of parking. Restaurant is small with a few tables. I got their Filet + Chicken Thigh Combo for about $20. It comes with rice, grilled jalapeño, grilled tomato, hummus and pita. As far as price goes, I think its a bit higher compared to other spots like Hummus Labs and Pops. The food is clean and simple and everything tasted great. I wish it came with garlic sauce as well.

    My second time coming here! I love ambience here! It's small but very cute! I like their filet mignon and chicken thigh the most! Chicken lula is very good too. I am not a fan of the beef Lula though. The hummus is very smoothly blended. The pita was softer and warmer the first time I was here but it's still good. The service is great! Very friendly. oh and they added more to their menu! I would definitely come back again!

    Wow!!!! I can't believe I have been going to Blossom Market Hall for years now and ONLY NOW just…read morediscovered Wahib's Mediterranean Express. But I can confidently say that after one meal here, I will be coming back~ Items ordered: 5/5 - Chicken Plate - Garlic Fries - Lamb Gyro Wrap - Baklava Everything here was freshly cooked and made to perfection. But my favorite dish was by far the chicken plate. Let me preface this first with a foodie confession. I'm usually not the biggest fan of chicken kebabs (I prefer beef). Most of the time I find them very dry and bland. However, after hearing from the owner's son that it is their best selling dish, I was convinced to try it. And it truly exceeded all my expectations! With each bite, the meat was packed with juicy, delicious flavor and just melted into my mouth. And with the combination of aromatic rice, grilled zucchini, and fresh hummus, my dad and I completely devoured our plate. Now it got me to thinking: what makes it so different from other places? Well, I actually learned that the owners import a special olive oil to infuse into all their meats, giving it a rich flavor without excess fat. Next time when I return, I'm definitely trying the beef kebab to compare! SERVICE: 5/5 Honestly some of the nicest, humblest, and friendly staff I've ever seen! They were able to answer my questions and offer suggestions, which I deeply appreciate as a foodie aiming to try the best of what each establishment offers. The location is quite convenient and inside Blossom Food Hall with other food vendors in vicinity. (I've actually came several times for ice cream and didn't realize how extensive it was). Seating is plentiful with bar seating and tables throughout the food court. Of note, because it's located on Mission Drive, parking may be limited during certain hours but there's a parking lot in the back. I didn't have an issue finding parking although I can see it easily getting packed on busier events. Overall, with its deliciously made food and fantastic service, they definitely earned me as a regular - and I'll bring the family this time

Two fountain drinks Most of the people got to-go at this restaurant, so it was pretty empty when we dined in; however, they were very busy because they had so many to-go orders. Our food came in about 15 minutes later. Our orders also came with pita bread and yogurt. The pita bread was soft and perfect to dip in the Greek yogurt. I liked my beef Kabob; it was very flavorful. But the meat quality of beef and chicken was not very tender; they were a bit chewy. The Kafta was a Mediterranean dish consisting of ground meat; this one was ground beef. It was not bad. The fries and rice were also good. Make sure to order your food earlier because you may need to wait for a while. The service was friendly. The cashier was very helpful; she helped us to refill our drinks and also followed up on my fries that they forgot earlier.

I ordered the Beef Shawarma Plate and grabbed a box of pre-made baklava from the counter to-go for my lunch break. The plate was a generous portion. The beef was seasoned perfectly, complete with fresh pita and a delicious garlic spread. The baklava, unfortunately, wasn't the flaky goodness I'd hoped for. It seemed like it might've gone into the container while still warm, so the texture was a bit off, but the flavor was still great. Would love to try it fresh or crisp next time. Overall, Pop's is busy for a reason. Whether you're ordering to-go or dining in, it's absolutely worth a visit!

The location is very visible as you drive north or south on Hill. Parking is available in a number of different areas. They have their own parking lot alongside the edge of the building.

The Mediterranean Grill is located in suite 101. When you enter you walk through the inside seating to the counter to place your order. I had a number of questions concerning their menu and the gentleman at the register was very helpful in giving me suggestions of different dishes I might enjoy. I ordered a number of items so that I could get an understanding of their menu. I decided to order three items. A salad and two dinners. As I sat down to wait for my order, a staff member brought over a small salad and a small bottle of water for me to enjoy while I was waiting. I found out that the salad was a shirazi salad. It was bright and refreshing. The lemon and olive oil dressing was perfect along with the chopped onions, marinated cucumber, tomatoes, and parsley. Enjoyable! I picked up my carefully packaged order and was on my way home. I was eager to try some new flavors. The aroma of the food was still present as I opened each of the three items. The Greek salad with chicken had a great flavor. There were large chunks of lightly fried chicken pieces, with fresh cucumbers, feta cheese, olives, lettuce, onions, with their special olive and lemon dressing. This salad is a full meal, very satisfying. The chicken platter with white meat included rice, a marinated cucumber salad, a tomato, and jalapeno. I had a choice of with seeds or without and I decided to spice it up and ordered with the seeds. There is definitely a lot of food . then one dinner. I found out that it tasted good the next day. Their special sauce is amazing. The beef skewer was very tender and filled with flavor. The meat had been marinated and tasted great both warm and cold the following day, as did the other items. I was so intrigued by the menu that I went again for the gyro roll and the falafel platter. Both were well worth the return visit. Highly recommend the flavorful food at Mediterranean Grill! Their service, recipes, and food are well worth the visit. I look forward to returning to experience more items on the menu.
