We arrived about 40 min before closing on a random weeknight. The waiter was super nice and answered all of our questions, and we even got served by Gaby himself. When they were out of a drink my friend ordered, Gaby insisted on making more himself just for us. They even treated our table to some extra appetizers. We all got the butter garlic lemon chicken and it was soooo delicious. My favorite part of the meal had to be the sesame sauce we dipped our naan in though. I would buy it in a jar to have at home! read more

It has a nice outdoor ambience. The kebab is decent enough, though not the best. I would recommend if you're a Palms local for convenience.

The food is amazing we go to gaby's at least 3 times a month. The service is wonderful, employees are very nice, respectful, with a smile on their faces.Gaby is our favorite restaurant. read more

Some of the best service I've ever received. I work in the area and came by for the first time for lunch the other day. The owner, Gaby (who I didn't know at the time), was hard at work, running around the entire restaurant making sure every customer was satisfied. It was a hot day and he gave me a free bottle of water after I ordered my food. Service was quick and attentive, all from Gaby himself. He checked in multiple times to make sure I didn't need anything. I ordered the cilantro salmon plate and it was absolutely delicious, full of flavor and cooked to perfection. I cleaned the entire plate of course, and as I was leaving I thanked him for his amazing service. We then had a brief chat and he told me a bit about the history of the restaurant. As he was doing so, another lady walked in and made a comment about his aquarium. He then even offered her some guppies to take home. Even in this brief encounter it was very clear how much Gaby cared about his restaurant and customers. I will most definitely be back, and if you're in the area definitely check this place out. read more

Casual Mediterranean full service restaurant. The seating area is under a protected tent, but no AC. It was slightly warm as we sat to have our lunch. The music transported me to another country, and made me smile. Food was really tasty. The zatar appetizer arrived first with pita bread and oh my, beautifully presented and tasty. I loved my Greek Salad, which I chose to be my main meal. My husband ordered the Chicken Kafta Kabob , Two skewers of grilled seasoned ground chicken mixed with parsley, onions and spices. It came with a side salad, tzatziki, grilled tomato and onion. He loved it! There were no leftovers The service was on point with a smile! Thank you!! Free parking on the lot. read more

I found this restaurant 20 years ago while Working in La. I've been coming here since. And when I'm in LA I try to stop. The food is authentic and to die for.... The foul muddamas is the best!! I have never found better. The garlic sauce YUM!!!!! The meat so tender. I wish this was in OC because i would be going weekly!!! read more

The Mediterranean food arrived quickly & hot & as ordered. Will order from gaby's again!

Had the shrimp kabob, what a dish that was!!. It was amazing!! It was a generous serving with your choice of rice or fries. The place lacks ambience, but it more than makes up for it with its speedy and friendly service and its wide selection of dishes.9 read more

The food is fabulous. I've eaten there so many times and can't believe I've never reviewed it. The service is excellent and I love the location as I live around the corner. I know the menu by heart but always order the same thing, Phoenician Chicken. The portion is so large I take it home for seconds. read more

Gaby's Mediterranean has been one of my all-time favorite spots since I was a kid, and it's still just as amazing all these years later. The serving sizes are incredibly generous, the service is always quick and friendly, and the food.... absolutely delicious! Every bite is full of rich, authentic flavor that instantly reminds me why I always make it a point to stop by whenever I'm home visiting (I live abroad now). My go-to dishes are the lemon chicken and the rotisserie chicken with garlic sauce, both are perfectly seasoned and so satisfying. Gaby's never disappoints, and it continues to set the standard for great Mediterranean comfort food. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a meal that's both hearty and unforgettable! read more

Really delicious! Get in here. I had the Leon's grilled chicken salad with Fatoush dressing. I meant to eat half and take the rest home but ended up licking the plate clean. read more

Delicious! I think it was supposed to come with hummus? So I think they made a mistake. But the garlic spread and the chicken marinade is so good here! $10.50 for this is amazing !! Service is quick. I did take out so ambiance is not applicable here. read more

Had an amazing time here last Saturday! Food was excellent, the falafels were particularly delicious. I absolutely recommend this place to anyone nearby, as it has honestly had the best mediterranean kitchen that I have had in LA. The restaurant itself was pretty nice to be inside, and the customer service was top notch! The waitress was very patient with my non-Mediterranean self haha. 5 stars!! read more

The food knocked it out of the park. TELL EVERYONE! Best creamy lemon salmon I've had in my life. Not to mention the labneh was whipped to perfection. The service was exceptional and I felt as though I was right at home. There is very comfortable seating if you're thinking about dining in, great Togo containers if you're looking to eat at home. Thank you Osai for your amazing service and we will be back again soon. read more

I used to love this restaurant. Love. So much I would seriously get take-out from here at least once a week. Unfortunately the food and service has seriously gone downhill in the last year. The last 3 times I ordered from here, the salad has been wilted & meat either under or overcooked. All 3 times. While some of the staff is friendly, others are not & do clearly do not know the menu. I tried to call in an order & was told kafta is not on the menu. It is. My love affair is over. Does Gaby still own this place?? read more

I'm sorry but this place needs alot of love. It has potential but unfortunately I won't be returning to see the improvements. Chicken shawarma was not grilled AT ALL, smelled funny & had no seasoning. Everything else isn't even worth mentioning. I sent it back and a guy came out and tried to intimidate me. Never apologized for the horrible food but instead was attended that I didn't like it. read more

Gaby's Mediterranean was delicious! My husband and I both got the beef kabob plate and ordered a side of hummus with it. It came with pita bread and it was so filling. Service was fast and friendly.

Such an amazing spot. Met Gaby himself - such a sweetheart. Amazing food -- I got the vegetarian plate and it's lasted me two days. Generous portions, good people. Thanks Gaby! Will be a regular now read more

The worst lamb and rice I have ever had. The lamb was chewy, dry with lots of fiber tissue, inedible, tasted like gasoline, burnt and had no flavor. The rice was overcooked and very salty. This location is nothing like the Marina Del Rey location that closed. Money wasted. Won't reorder ever! read more

I've been going to Gaby's Mediterranean for decades, and it has always been the perfect spot for meeting up with friends and enjoying family meals. Recently, my wife and I hosted a baby shower there, and the experience couldn't have been better. Gaby worked closely with us to create a wonderful menu featuring a variety of appetizers, main courses, and desserts. The entire team was incredibly helpful and flexible on the day of the event--preparing the space, arranging tables, and making sure everything was comfortable for our guests. They even encouraged us to decorate the room to our liking, which made the celebration feel truly personal. During the party, the staff kept the buffet hot, fresh, and filled with the most delicious food. We received countless compliments from guests about the variety, taste, and quality of the dishes. It's clear that Gaby and the whole staff--from the servers to the cooks--take great pride in what they do, and it really showed. We recommend Gaby's Mediterranean for both everyday meals and special events. read more

AMAZING mediterranean food with super yummy fries and falafel. I do Hawaiian Outrigger Canoeing nearby in Marina Del Rey and this is the best meal after practice. Definitely come support!! read more

From the first time I came to Gaby's over a year ago, I've ALWAYS received amazing service and I always feel like a queen. The food is always cooked to perfection and made with love. Joe the manager is always so kind and always wows me with the food presentation. It's obvious he takes a lot of pride in his work. Also each time I go there are always improvements made to the restaurant which look very nice. Oh! The hookah is very good quality too, it's flavorful and not harsh like it can be at other places; not once did I cough with it. Very enjoyable. If you're looking for for good food that's always fresh and cooked to perfection with great service, go to Gaby's. I usually get the lemon salmon and chicken kabobs. read more

Got a chicken shawarma pita. Chicken was dried out and pretty tasteless. Salad was over saturated with dressing.

This was our first visit to Gaby's, and it won't be our last. We were heading to LAX, and my brother, who lives nearby, recommended this spot. The food was generous and delicious, and the service was excellent, including a visit from Gaby himself. You can't miss this place, and you should definitely give it a try... and you'll end up coming back... just like us! read more

I have been coming to Gaby's for over 20 years now and truly love the food. Unfortunately I went there today and by the looks of everything (signage gone, locked doors, no telephone answer) it appears sadly that they are closed. I truly hope that I am mistaken. read more

Best food I've had in the area I typically go to. Definitely will be back. Very friendly, downside...NO public restroom even when dining it. That sucked read more

This is the second time I have placed an order with this restaurant and they have cancelled it with no explanation. This is unacceptable. The last time I called and they said they had run out of chicken. I had tried to order it multiple times and they simply kept cancelling the order. No call or communication. That's rude what sort of restaurant is always running out of food and doesn't have the decency to send some kind of communication. I'm not surprised the other location went out of business. Next time I will order from somewhere that is actually capable of delivering food. Sent from my iPad read more

I hadn't been here in years but the food is still so good. We had really nice service and the entrees had so much food. The Arabic music is nice in the background and went we went is wasn't too busy so it was really nice over all. read more

Awful restaurant! When cooked, chicken can be a nutritious choice, but raw chicken can be contaminated with Campylobacter, Salmonella, or Clostridium perfringens germs. If you eat undercooked chicken, you can get a foodborne illness, also called food poisoning. I was so sick after eating in this place! Uncooked chicken:( The health department should shutdown this establishment immediately! Also it was raining inside and very sleepy floor! Terrible place. read more

Hangry! We were hangry! The family turned to me and asked where to eat? This usually does not go well. But I spun the little wheel in my brain. It Came up Gaby's Mediterranean. Surprisingly everyone agreed. Actually not so surprising. This restaurant is very consistent in providing quality meals at reasonable prices. I happen to love their felafel plate. The rest of the team goes for meat-based dishes. My family is unenlightened, but I love them. I believe you will truly enjoy a meal at Gaby's. read more

Love Gabys taco plates, they are so delicious! We usually order takeout because we live close by. Always friendly staff!
