There was live music as well the evening we were there, but it isn't every day from what I gathered. The interior is really nice -- the kind of place that feels thoughtfully put together rather than generic. There's also outdoor seating. Our server was fantastic. We ended up having great conversations -- warm, thoughtful, brief life experiences chats, the kind of service that actually adds to the experience rather than just taking your order. One small but important detail just from my point of view - they've placed a little board with their name outside near the curb. Turns out it's basically become a public service -- cars used to cut over and bump on that curved curb outside the library all the time - the little board has put a stop to it. Says a lot about the kind of thoughtful, community-minded people running this place. Highly recommended!

The Santorini sizzling Shrimp appetizer was amazing! Shrimp settled into a special sauce like Nona would have made, and fresh buffalo mozzarella cubes melted! Yum! We were off to a great start! I had the marinated grilled lamb chops that were excellent! Tim had a gluten free pizza crust. The sauce was delish, the crust a bit cool when arrived, but once reheated was much better! Grateful they had a gluten free crust! Now if we can get the chef to get a gluten free pasta

Hands-down, this is the best Mediterranean-based cuisine restaurant in the South Bay, if not all of…read moreLA. I wanted to follow up my very short review that I wrote about this restaurant over a decade ago as I have continued to frequent this restaurant and I have always enjoyed their food. What they offer here is a really nice selection of Mediterranean-based cuisine. They always use the best ingredients, and the food always arrives with a great presentation. Mostly, the food here tastes very-very good. And, isn't that the right reason you actually go to a restaurant in the first place? This is a family-owned and operated business. From this, you can really tell that everybody who works here really cares about the restaurant and the customers. Thus, it's always a great dining experience. Their menu offers a really nice selection of everything from gyro's to kebabs onto salads and the like. There's a really nice choice of both entrées and side dishes for you to choose from. The one thing I will say about this establishment, and this is certainly not a criticism, but whenever you eat here, they always keep the food coming. Whether it is the pita chips, the pita bread, the whatever, when you leave here you are going to be very-very full. This restaurant is located just off of Hawthorne Boulevard and a block from PCH. Thus, it's very easy to find. In terms of parking they have a parking lot over to one side of the building. You could always find a spot there. They also have a number of spots on the street, in front of the restaurant. This is where I always prefer to park. Easy in, easy out. Overall, if you're looking for some great Mediterranean-based food, this is the place to go. You will not be disappointed.

It's in a busy small shopping center with other small restaurants so it can get a bit busy, but there is extended parking as well. As you walk in it's very small there is no seating so it's mostly pick up but there is a Kiosk and that's where you order your food and Arash comes to the front and greet you and he was so kind and offered help as this was my first time and he guided me. I ordered the Combination plate with chicken and beef shawarma and it came with the rice and the most delicious Fatoosh salad the dressing was to die for and the salad portion was great! The flavor was just amazing, very flavorful with every bite and the pita bread was delicious with the their dipping sauces and the hummus as well. I waited maybe 10 min and then my food was ready. I even got a text to notify that my food was ready so even if to went to wait in your car or go do something quick the notify you and I loved that touch. I WILL def coming back the portions are great and the food is delicious and fresh and made to order. They have a fridge with some drinks as well. Over all I love the concept it's easy to order and food comes out fresh.. if you are looking for some delicious kabobs or Mediterranean food this is your spot here in Lomita.

Overall, it was a terrible experience: Pricing Overcharge: The Tahdig with Gheimeh was listed as $6.99 on the menu, but I was charged $13.99! To make matters worse, the Gheimeh was literally just split peas and tomato paste--not a single piece of meat in it. Poor Food Quality: The Chenjeh was incredibly tough and chewy, while the Joojeh was way too spicy/peppery. As for the Koobideh, it ended up giving me a severe stomach ache. I ended up paying around $100 for just 3 portions of food. It is honestly mind-boggling how we are expected to pay such exorbitant prices for such low-quality food these days. I definitely do not recommend this place.

It has taken me way too long to review this place. I apologize…read more Wow. King Mediterrano. I've never eaten in, but I've picked up food from here twice and have enjoyed their food at my sister's house at least one other time. The first thing I don't understand is how this place is in Torrance rather than Redondo Beach. I don't mean that I don't understand why they chose Torrance over Redondo Beach; I mean that I just don't understand the two cities' boundaries very well, because this feels like straight-up North Redondo to me. The second thing I don't understand is how this place hasn't expanded or multiplied or otherwise won the hearts and minds and stomachs of South Bayers near and far. But maybe it already has. The third thing I don't understand is why I don't come here more often. It's not that far from my sister's house, and I was dog-sitting there earlier this year. . . . I'm fresh out of things I don't understand. What I do understand is that the owners of this place (an Armenian brother and sister?) are amazing. The food is so good and fresh and flavorful. The menu is kind of all over the place, which in most cases is a red flag, but in the case of more than one restaurant owned and operated by Armenians (I'm including my cousin's restaurant before he sold it and retired), the more different items on the menu, the better. Or at least it's not a red flag. I promise. The combo deal is legit, but even without that deal, the prices are good, especially when you consider the food quality. Writing his review now makes me miss King Mediterrano even though I don't normally miss it or think about it. Those days are over. Next time I have calories to collect in the South Bay, I'm headed straight for Redondo Beach Boulevard.

Wow what a scam. Typically, I love coming to this establishment, however totally disappointed today 8/7/26. Got an ad in a local magazine YESTERDAy for a that said they had to buy one get one free sole entree. We just left there at 11:30 and they said they're " sold out" so in one hour that you've been open, you sold out out of the fish?? or was that just false advertisement to get people in the door - and while honestly, I love their chicken and could've eaten there I didn't because it's just they never put out coupons and when they do, it's for something that doesn't exist. I don't believe they're sold out (the coupon just came in the mail yesterday) don't believe they have any sole at all and maybe never did, but that's their story and they're sticking into it.
