This place can be a little tricky to find if you’ve never been here, but once you’re able to find it, you’re going to be glad you did. The staff is so friendly, the food is absolutely delicious, and they’re fast! The location is a bit smaller, but they do have indoor and outdoor seating. Just a heads up, this place gets a line during lunch hour, but not too worry since they’re very fast here. I would recommend this place to anyone!
Hands down my favorite Mediterranean restaurant. My only complaint is I wish it stayed open through the night because I can't get enough of it. Food is finished and ready to go by the time you finish paying. The hummus, salad, rice, and meat are all top notch quality. Nothing else to say here.

I finally caught them open! I hate this store’s restrictive hours but once you catch them open, you should try it out! It’s on the fast-food style, classic Green-inspired gyros etc. Quality of food was great as well as their customer service and speed of service too.
You’re trippin if you sleep on Mediterranean Cafe!! This is the best middle eastern food I have EVER had!
The prices are unbeatable, the quality of ingredients are top notch, and the overall taste of the meats, sauces, veggies, sides and pita is unparalleled.
The exterior and interior are a bit unassuming but do not let that stop you from coming by. The dishes are prepared super fast, often being put in front of you while you’re still paying!
The falafel is moist and crispy, not dry at all! The lettuce and tomatoes are fresh. I love to also add the hot sauce and tzatziki which are crazy delicious!
This should be your go to for middle eastern cuisine!
My fiancé and I moved here last year and haven’t found a Mediterranean restaurant that we consider worthwhile. We live in Monrovia and the options are little. We have also found many restaurants that have little to no flavor or dry pitas. We stopped here on a whim and were beyond glad! The staff was friendly and the prices were more than agreeable. Your plate is created right when you order, which is fast and convenient! The falafels are truly the best from what I’ve had in the valley thus far! They are cooked perfectly and are not oily. On top of it all, they have great flavor. We ended up ordering two more as they are only $2.50! My fiancé loved the chicken Schwarma and he really enjoyed it. I had the chicken kebab plate and it was tender and perfectly flavored. Their hummus is great in texture and taste and their garlic paste is good. The chili paste they have is spicy but pairs perfect with their food. We were so glad that we stopped and will frequent this spot many more times.
Fantastic lunch spot. Great prices. Unbelievably fast service, (not even kidding, it often arrives fresh before I've managed to tap my card). The food is awesome, a mix of all the things you want, fresh salads, falafel, meats, pickled vegetables. The only place it could improve is if the pitas were fresh, but they are still great!
I will be a returning customer so long as I live in Pasadena! PS my go-to is the falafel plate!
This one of my favorite places in Pasadena to eat. Very quick, friendly service. Food is flavorful and satisfying. A delicious meal!!!
Delicious food, great service!
