Rice
Victoria S.

Great deals on their family meals! We ordered to-go & got the one whole chicken meal served with hummus, rice, house salad, pack of pita bread & garlic spread. The chicken family meal was under $50 and it can easily feed 4 or more adults. We also got a beef kebab plate (Filet mignon, served with rice, hummus, salad & pita bread). They give generous portions of meat. The rotisserie chicken & beef kebab were tasty, tender & delicious & the rice was fluffy. They had plenty of parking in the front & there's indoor & outdoor dining available. We will definitely return!

A delicious quick lunch spot in Monrovia on Foothill, if you're looking for kebabs and creamy hummus this is perfect! Located in a small plaza Chicken King Express has lunch specials, plates of rice, salad, hummus, or even wraps at really decent prices. My husband and I came by to try it out last week and we just came back again since it was so good! We both have tried the lunch special chicken lule plate which comes with rice, hummus and salad asking with the quarter and half chicken plates which come with rice and hummus and everything comes with two pitas on the side. The half or quarter chickens were so juicy and delicious it was truly the reason we had to come back so soon. Everything is pretty fresh, the rice is a little bland and basic but everything else is delicious. Overall it's a great spot for a quick lunch or to go plate and we will be back again!

Inside

Fire chicken place! First time trying the restaurant and we are sold. The cashier was nice and explained to us their specials and different options. The menu is pretty simple and ready to go but they do have traditional Mediterranean food. We came early because we were hungry but it got busy and full as we ate our meal. The place had indoor seating and outdoor if prefer the fresh air, the inside does smell strongly of grilled check FYI. They have a variety of can sodas at a reasonable price. Since it was early they did not have the veggie options but was here for the chicken anyway. The chicken was flavorful and juicy, they give you a lot of food for price point. Will def come back and explore menu more. A must try if you love garlic, spices and fresh dips like hummus.

This place needs to upgrade their rice. While I do appreciate the freshly grilled meats, I just can't take their mushy cafeteria quality rice. There is another skewer shop not too far away that starts with the letter K. Also grilled to order and better rice and side options.

A really pleasant surprise of Mediterranean food in SGV. Fresh ingredients, large portions and seasoned perfectly. Situated in a little strip mall, this restaurant only got a few tables. Look like they are mainly on take out order. You can order their food through their website for pick up. I ordered 1/2 chicken plate and chicken kebabs plate. Both are excellent. Try chicken is tender but the skin is a little crisp and tasty. Their garlic sauce is one of the best one that I ever had. It does perfect with the chicken Price very reasonable. Service is excellent too. I was greeted nicely when waiting for my order.

Still going strong as one of our fave local spots for Mediterranean food in the SGV! Been coming here for years and have loved everything we've ever tried - you can't go wrong. Lately we've been hooked on their chicken kebab wraps - the pita is thick and soft, the chicken cooked to perfection and so savory along with the garlic sauce, and it comes with rice and hummus. We also like their 1/4 chicken plates and beef kabobs. Their garlic sauce is the best in the area imo - so smooth and not overpowering like a lot of other places. Prices are decent and service is efficient and quick on the to-go orders too. They have lunch specials as well. Plenty of parking and lots of seating indoors and on their patio. A great fast-casual spot for quick local Mediterranean cuisine!

Chicken Kebab Wrap
Lala L.

The food here is delicious! I love the chicken wrap plate with all the sides. Everything is so moist and this meal is fresh, tastes amazing and is not heavy. I feel great every time I eat here. I can't wait to go back!

Chicken Kebab Plate
Brittany M.

So yummy! I got their chicken plate that comes with chicken kebab pieces, rice, salad, hummus, and pita bread. So worth the price, delicious tasting, and not too heavy. Definitely the place to go if you're feeling fast casual Mediterranean food. I tried their chicken since that's what they're known for but would try something else next time. I placed a to go order and the cashier happily handed it over to me with utensils and napkins in the bag already.

The front of the building

I got I got the half chicken plate and I'm gonna tell you right now. I am a Zanku fan all the way, but this place was a lot better. The guy at the front was super nice super friendly not to mention he has the most beautiful eyes lady's hahaha so I would say the service is great super casual ambience definitely somewhere to get a really good meal

Grill

We did take-out and enjoyed the chicken family dinner with a huge chicken and salad along with rice and pita bread. Although we took out, the owner was nice and explained what types of meals were offered. It is rather small inside, the tables will seat about 20 people.

King Combo Plate

10/10 would recommend Every meat in the King combo plate was juicy, not one bit dry and had that delicious grilled touch. The rice was quite flavorful but a bit mushy. Only thing missing was a nice chili or something spicy.

Yesterday, we found ourselves craving the spicy lebneh and decided to give it another try. I'm so glad we did because we were lucky enough to have Ari as our server. Ari is truly extraordinary. She is warm, vibrant, genuinely engaging, and has that rare ability to make every guest feel welcomed and cared for. Her hospitality is effortless, authentic, and unforgettable. There honestly aren't enough good words to describe how wonderful she is. She completely changed our experience and reminded us why we loved coming here in the first place.

The Diplomat is so much more than a whiskey bar--it's serving some of the freshest, cleanest, and most flavorful Mediterranean cuisine I've had in a long time. You can truly taste the difference. Everything is made fresh from scratch with so much care and attention to detail. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, and the quality shines through in every bite. The full bar has an excellent selection, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the outdoor patio is the perfect place to relax--especially since it's dog-friendly! Being right by the Monrovia Farmers Market makes it an even better spot to grab a meal or drinks before or after strolling through the market. If you're looking for amazing food, handcrafted drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere, The Diplomat is absolutely worth the visit. I'll definitely be back!

The energy was vibrant and lively with music playing and the TVs showing the NBA game. Cafe X20 had a some new menu options that I decided to try one. My wife and I usually love the White Fish plate so she ordered it. I went with the Char-Grilled Chicken Thighs with grilled veggies and spicy hummus. Our orders came out in adequate time. And they give a bag of pita bread. These dishes looked so appetizing you can't wait to dig in! The chicken thighs were grilled tremendously and the char added a new wave of flavors. A nice addition to the menu. Both dishes would be reliable options. The plates look colorful and are filling. Your tummy will be happy! Cafe X20 consistently delivers on their customer service and menu items no matter the location. Thanks for the delicious food! ( ^_^)b

You would think the food would be piping hot since it's made fresh and required such a long wait...but no... Everything was lukewarm and the bread was cold. The salad consisted of lettuce and some marinated tomatoes that tasted sour. The hummus was very bland and the bread was thin, but soft. The Luhle (ground beef) was savory, but wasn't very juicy at all. The RICE, however, was very delicious. It was well seasoned and you can taste the different spices used to flavor it. Very earthy notes. Overall, very underwhelming experience. Mediocre and not worth the price or wait. Would probably not go back again. It's located inside Blossom Market Hall, so you order and seat yourself. Food will be ready when the buzzer they give you rings. Free street and lot parking available.

Family owned and operated; Corfu specializes in Mediterranean food. This friendly neighborhood restaurant is small and quaint and the staff are warm and welcoming, especially Ryan & Maribel who took excellent care of us during our visit. I was curious to try the Muhammara (a dip made of crushed walnuts & red pepper paste.) I've never had it before, but it was particularly good. The fresh warm pita & Muhammara was a delightful combination. I couldn't stop eating it. The Greek Salad was a generous serving comprised of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, kalamata olives, & feta. It was plenty for us to share and the dressing was light and not overwhelming. They don't have a full bar. My friend tried two beers. One from Lebanon (Almaza) and another from Greece (Hillas). He liked them both. I had a glass of sparkling wine, which paired well with my meal. The background music was enjoyable and added to the ambience. I didn't realize it was coming from musicians who were playing out front. Ryan informed me that they perform Friday, Saturday, & Sunday evenings. Overall, it was a pleasant experience from beginning to end. I'm grateful for the recommendation and look forward to returning. *Street parking or lot in back.
