    Side of falafels
    Laura S.

    We always get great friendly service here. They make a point of making you feel welcome. The location is nice, there's seating in the shade, the food is good. It's a nice quick stop so you can have a bite and get back to time at the beach, or in the art galleries, at the shops,...

    *** Cash only, but has an ATM with $1 fee and $60 cash max *** Adonis Mediterranean Grill is one of few grab-and-go spots in the busiest part of Laguna Beach (between Broadway St & Laguna Ave on PCH). This spot used to be Gallo's Italian Deli and became Adonis in 2012. [Parking]: Nothing easy when it comes to parking near the main beach area even after 8 PM. I got lucky and found a public parking spot at Lot 3, but I still had to pay $3 for 28 minutes. Fo public parking lot 3, the rate is $6.45 per hour from 8 AM to 9 PM. Place permit face up on dash. [Atmosphere]: The shop has a small outdoor patio seating section. Restroom is not available. [Menu]: Three wraps (chicken, gyro, or falafel) with combo options available (combo = additional french fries with tzatziki garlic dip and soda can / water bottle). No wraps? They also have 5 plate options (vegan option included). *** Gyro Wrap (gyro meats slices wrapped in toasted pita with tzatziki garlic, lettuce, tomato, pickles & white cabbage - $15.78): Gyro meat tasted a bit dry but the wrap had good flavor. Portion was generous enough. *** Gyro wrap was a bit pricey, but overall a convenient spot for a quick bite without having to spend big bucks on fancy dine-in restaurants in Downtown Laguna Beach.

    We love coming here every time we're in Laguna. So good and fresh! Bring cash for payment.

    Delicious gyro combo

    Such a beautiful beach front spot run by a sweet family. It was so hard to decide between the shawarma and the gyro, they were both so fresh and tasty. Shawarma is usually dry wherever I go but here it was very moist and the gyro portion was amazing. Very quick service and fresh fries and meats. Will definitely recommend to our friends and family and be coming back for more!

    My fav spot to grab food and take to the beach. Convenient location and food is fresh and excellent.

    Gyro Wrap
    Ashley B.

    This was my first time trying a gyro wrap, and it was so good!! The meat is very fresh and stored like al pastor, very nice. There is outdoor seating on this deck like area which is very adorable and aesthetically pleasing. The staff here is also super friendly. 10/10 will be coming back!

    Best Gyro ever!

    I've been a regular at Adonis Mediterranean Grill for years now and hereby proclaim it's serving the best Gyro Wrap ($14.95) on the west coast. Alex, the owner, is the most likable and friendly guy I've met in years. He handcrafts your wrap with whatever you want...lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, white and red cabbage and extra garlic tzatziki please! You can pick from the huge spits of fresh made gyro meat or white meat chicken. He makes your gyro, then wraps it in foil and heats it up in a Panini press. It's absolutely delicious. You can eat it there or take it to go and the best deal in Laguna Beach as far as I'm concerned. I did not order the fresh made French fries ($4.65) today but I know they taste great so don't be afraid to get those too. This is a solid 5-Star super casual restaurant in downtown Laguna and definitely worth a stop. FYI - It's not a sit down restaurant but more of a small stand up restaurant with stools and a ocean view. CASH ONLY!

    Amazing food and great service! Such an amazing experience! A view of the water plus a cute patio! 10000000/10! Will recommend to everyone in the area!

    Chicken Wrap
    Reta B.

    My sister and brother in law absolutely love this place. When they're in the area, they have to stop by and eat it. I met Alex, great guy, who is the owner, very welcoming! I think food was okay. I would give them another try.

    I live in Orange County and every time I go to Laguna Beach, I always stop by Adonis for a gyro wrap, and it's a tradition to bring along a friend to eat our gyro wraps at the beach!! The meat is juicy and flavorful and the pickled red cabbage and other vegetables and sauces make the wrap unforgettable! The chicken shawarma and falafel are also excellent. The guys that work there always greet me with a big smile and make me feel welcome. I definitely recommend you stop by Adonis when you are in Laguna Beach.

    Yummy fries. Wish they were hotter though.
    Ruby B.

    Quick late lunch and Adonis Mediterranean Grill was the perfect spot. We ordered a gyro platter and chicken wrap. We watched as they were prepared right in front of us, by a nice gentleman who we think was the owner. Great flavors for both meals. Delicious. My chicken wrap had tender and not dry well prepared chicken. Great pita and veggies inside too. I love that you get to choose exactly what you want with the offerings in the case. Hubby liked his shawarma wrap too because of the nice flavors. Fries could have been more fresh but they were still good. It's primarily a walk-up and order kind of place, with some seating. We took our food to the beach! We would absolutely return and try other entrees. Cash only, but there's conveniently an atm machine inside for those who need it.

    Best of the best! Chicken wrap was bomb! Super friendly! Great people working there!

We were placed in a table on the roof that had a great view of the ocean and Laguna Beach. We were greeted by our waiter Juan and informed him about my Ladies birthday. He came back with a card wishing my lady a Happy Birthday with a Toucan on the cover. A nice Indaba Chardonnay from South Africa was ordered for my Lady. A nice sized pour of this wine and a glass of ice with a spoon was promptly delivered. We ordered the Seafood platter for two. Our dinner was delivered in a large platter with grilled lobster tails, butterflied prawns, shrimp, scallops and fried squid strips. Accompanying the seafood were bowls of hot melted butter and peri peri pepper sauce. The chefs knew how to properly cook seafood as everything was done to perfection. I am a home cook and a fisherman so I know how to cook fish and shellfish correctly. Enjoying the view we slowly ate our meal. Our water Juan was very attentive but not to the point of hovering over us. After we finished eating a complementary Birthday dessert was brought to our table with a lighted candle. My Lady made her wish and blew out the candle. The dessert was Mozambiques famous Banana Bread Pudding and a cup of vanilla ice cream. The bread pudding was covered in toasted macadamia nuts, blueberries, strawberries and boysenberries. The dessert was like the dinner delicious. Each piece of fruit was perfectly ripe and sweet. The meal, the atmosphere and the service deserve the 5 Star rating. I will definitely recommend Mozambique to friends and family and my lady and I are already discussing when to return there again for dinner!

Upon sitting down, waters were brought to the table and consistently refilled. We started with their ceviche, which was fresh and cooked well. Even taste through every bite. For entrees we had their Salmon and the lemon chili linguini (added chicken). The salmon had a good sear to it and the taste was amazing, cooked perfect to my liking- not over cooked at all, soft with every bite. The veggies and potatoes served with the salmon were exceptional as well. The green sauce served with it was so complimenting to both the protein and sides. My guest stated the pasta was delicious as well. "It had plenty of flavor and spices without overwhelming the palate. The pasta was perfectly cooked while the chicken complimented the meal- as it is wood smoked and still moist." Soon after we were done eating, I believe the manager greeted us asking how our meal was and if we were celebrating anything in particular. We shared we were celebrating our friend anniversary and he surprised us with their Portuguese hot butter pudding. The dessert was a perfect ending to the meal! It was a warm bread pudding complimented with fresh whipped cream and berries. Each bite melted in your mouth. Along with great customer service, the ambiance is good as well. Since it is rooftop, tables are tightly packed, but we didn't mind it at all. There is still enough room to walk and eat comfortably. A beautiful view is seen from every angle of Laguna as well. The waiters were very prompt and polite, even when busy. They openly accommodated any needs we requested. Definitely will be coming back, and recommend it to others.

Needless to say I sat there waiting for my two to-go orders for what felt like an eternity. A lot of people flowed in after me and they were all just waiting, it was weird since it was empty when I walked in and then seeing 6 tables of people with no food. I thought I ordered the cheaper lunch special of chicken koobideh and beef koobideh, but he punched in the full portion instead. I didn't really mind as it just became extra food for dinner. But I feel like if someone is going in at the beginning of lunch time, they would be looking to order lunch menu stuff? I guess I can't expect people to do what I my logic would do. The two koobidehs is pretty much the same thing I order at any of these places because I prefer ground meat that's tender and juicy and this place did not disappoint. They were cooked to perfections with just a little crisp on the meats. Not much else to say since I only had a basic meal....meals

We ordered the combo beef and chicken plate, the beef gyro plate, and two falafel on the side. The falafel didn't look impressive, but they were surprisingly excellent--moist, flavorful, and honestly better than Sababa's. I'll definitely order six next time. The gyro plate was solid, not overly greasy or heavy, and the seasoning was just right. I wasn't a fan of the hummus, which had a bitter aftertaste, but my partner liked the tanginess, so that may come down to personal preference. On the combo plate, the chicken stood out: juicy and tender. The beef seemed to be a leaner cut and was a bit dry. I'd probably skip this particular beef kebab next time and try a different one. The saffron rice and grilled tomato were a nice complement. The plate also came with jumbo naan, served warm and smelling amazing, definitely a highlight.

I appreciate that they offered to make it right, but when all 3 people eating the meal have the same complaint, it doesn't seem like it was just a one time issue.

Mandana (one of the chef owners) lured me in with a sample of their Falafel which I shared with my daughters. Let's just say you could taste the love in it (three days worth!) and I finally had truly delicious Falafel. We all ended up having some along with two Mazzeh samplers. Everything was so hot, fresh, and delicious. Don't even get any of us started on the absolutely delicious hummus. I'm pretty sure we would have taken a vat of it home if we could. Mandana also gave us samples of the pomegranate soft serve and baklava ice cream. Both were delicious and light and the baklava ice cream wasn't cloyingly sweet. We ended up having the pomegranate soft serve to top off the meal since it was a relatively warm day...and we couldn't resist. It was the perfect ending-- a little sweet, a little tart, and all delicious. Mandana also gave me a cookbook recommendation so I could try making some Persian dishes at home and I bought it right away. She was so warm, welcoming, and happy to share with us.
