Loved their falafel plate, and the basmati rice! The hummus was great as well, and they gave so much pita bread!! read more

Laith's Mediterranean - Falafel Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Carson, California

Literally just finished my meal and went straight into writing this review! FOOD: The food is FULL of flavor. We ordered the chicken shawarma wrap and the chicken shawarma plate with hummus and tzatziki + garlic sauce. I also ordered an iced fig latte and the owner upgraded my small to a large because we were first timers! The sweetest! I also love that all their coffees are made with oat milk and sweetened with date syrup. The coffee was also great and unique I've never had a fig flavored coffee before! SERVICE: 11/10 service. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. And like I mentioned earlier so sweet for upgrading our drink for being first timers! Love it! OVERALL: Let this review be the one to convince you to try this spot out! There's a good reason why they have great reviews. The food and service is beyond amazing and they deserve all the love! read more

Went to meet my boyfriend at his job and thought to bring him something different. Not knowing the area, but knowing what he likes, I found this place tucked away in a small plaza. At first, when I walked in I thought what is this place. Kind of very simply decorated and almost unlike your standard restaurant or take away spot. I didn't catch the woman's name, but very friendly woman took my order and the owner, Laith was on the phone. However once he got off he was very friendly. So I waited to see what this place was talking about and I can say I am ever so grateful for my accidental find. I appreciate the simplify of the place as that is all it needs. The customer service and food speak for themselves. Outstanding service, excellent food and filled with so much flavor. I would without any doubt highly recommend Laiths to anyone looking for some real good food to try. Just light, refreshing and filling just the same. This party of two that run this show are doing a superb job. I came out there from quite the distance and would gladly do it again! read more

Incredible food! Everything tasted so fresh and healthy. Some of the best Mediterranean food I've had in a while. We ate in but I'm sure it would also be great for takeout. They had quite a few tables inside and everything was nice and clean. The owners are husband and wife and they're incredibly sweet and nice! read more

Really great food and portions and the owner is awesome also. This is my favorite Mediterranean spot! Sauces and sides have incredible flavor. Highly recommend read more

Wow, just wow. This is a diamond in the rough! I work nearby and with a half an hour lunch, food options are pretty limited. I came across this place on Yelp and trusted the raving reviews. I placed my order on the Yelp app and decided to try the chicken shawarma with hummus and tzatziki as my sides. As for my sauce, the garlic sauce was the chef's kiss to this meal. Make sure to get the garlic sauce! They have a number of healthy juices and smoothies so I also had a wellness shot made with ginger, lemon, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. I'm so glad I did! It was delicious! As I walked in, I was a bit hesitant as it shares a location with a check cashing place and thought I was in the wrong place...not sure if it is the same owner but follow the two nice people smiling at you behind the counter towards the back! Lol I believe they have one picnic table set up inside for those who want to dine in. This is a great find and must try! read more

I was staying at the Doubletree and this place is across the street and I thought I would check it out. The first night I tried to go they were already closed. And it wasn't that late. The next time I try to go the guys in the kitchen were super nice about helping me understand their menu and what they offer. The restaurant is set back inside what is maybe a convenience store but it's a little confusing. It's not a full convenience store so I'm not really clear with the front part of the store actually is. I got The beef with rice, hummus, and a cucumber salad. You get a good amount of food. It is somewhat expensive at around $22. The cucumber salad is fine, but I would prefer a mix of cucumbers, onions, peppers, and a lot more feta cheese. It was just a little lacking for my taste. The hummus was really good. Could use a Tad more olive oil. The rice was fine, however, the beef I thought was where this dish really lacked. The Mediterranean restaurants I've been to traditionally have their meat on a vertical grill. It seemed like this restaurant was cooking the beef to order and it was severely overcooked. The garlic sauce has a really good flavor however it's a bit too thick. You can't drizzle it over the rice or really dip your meat in it. If they would add a bit more lemon juice to thin it out to a drizzling consistency it would be a lot better. The pita bread was good, but it actually reminded me more of naan bread than pita bread. It's also cut in small triangles so you can't really make your own wrap or Mediterranean taco as I call it due to the cut. This place is good enough if you're traveling and you want something good to eat, but it's definitely not the best Mediterranean I've ever had. read more

First time here. Food was excellent. Very tasty. Had the works mix grill chicken and beef. I could not finish it all and I came in hungry. Place was very clean. Service was awesome. I waited about 5-7 minutes. Definitely coming back to bring back my family. This will be my new Mediterranean spot in Carson. read more

Laith's Mediterranean in Carson was absolutely fantastic! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The restaurant itself was very clean and well-maintained, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Friendly staff Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Mediterranean cuisine! read more

My very first time trying this newly opened Mediterranean restaurant. I had the Beef Shawarwa Plate. Very generous portion. The beef was grilled to your liking and seasoned to perfection. It was juicy and moist, served over rice. The hummus was tasty and authentic. The tabouleh salad was fresh and crisp. The garlic sauce will make it over the top. And the hot sauce got some kick to it. I hope this place will stay open for good. The food is healthy, fresh, and authentic. The young gentleman was warm and welcoming. There's a table if you chose to eat inside. However, most of their busines is takeout. They deserve to have more customers. I can't wait to come back and try the falafel and the coffee and smoothie. read more

Food - Finally a DELICIOUS Mediterranean food spot near me! My mom and I shared a chicken shawarma plate with hummus, cucumber salad, and basmati rice. And let me tell you... it was REALLY GOOD!! The plate also comes with 4 pieces of pita bread. The hummus is perfect, the rice, the chopped up chicken and cucumber salad! We also tried the mango tango smoothing with the date syrup and that was also good! I was iffy about date syrup, but it actually wasn't that bad! Service - food does take a while so calling ahead would be great! It only takes a while because they cook it while you order it. Ambiance - it's located inside the angelito market, inside the Carson plaza. Spacious inside with seats to eat as well! read more

Food was delicious. I had the gyro plate. The lamb was so good, the humus too and the cucumber salad. And the baklava was also the bomb. The lamb was so thinly sliced and it tastes so good. The owner was so nice, he came out to shake my hand and the wife also peeked to say hi. The lady in the front is also very nice and knowledgeable about the menu. The original date shake is also a must try. It's not so sweet, you can taste all the ingredients. I will definitely go back again and bring friends. The serving is huge. Cheap for the portion read more

Reopened in the same shopping center as Vallarta! Amazing food and service! Best chicken shawarma around!

Laith "the owner" was far beyond Amazing! The food is authentic. You must tastes the chicken here since is their specialty. The portions are well served. We drove 40 miles to get here and it was well worth it. You wont regret it! read more

The 5 stars rating is accurate. The mixed Shawarma plate was so flavorful, especially the beef. It was seasoned to perfection and the rice, pita bread and cucumber salad was superb. They also have great customer service. I will definitely go back again in the near future. read more

This is a new place for me and I will return. It is small, but I was greeted by a friendly staff which answered all of my questions. WARNING - the portions they give you could almost serve two! But it is delicious and you will be tempted to try to eat it all. I didn't. I threw it in the fridge and I'll be breaking it out for lunch tomorrow. I had the chicken shawarma plate with basmati rice, hummus, and tzatziki. Add to that some warm pita bread and their housemade sauces and follow it up with the crunchy sweetness of their baklava... What's not to like? I found another gem in my own backyard! read more

This is an amazing restaurant with a very unique homemade recipes. It's very hard to find a Falafel and Shawarma that taste like this one. This is what you get when you go to the Middle East. And I highly recommend their Medidate with cardamom roasted seed. read more

Laith's has re-opened less than 5 minutes from their previous location, it's just as delicious as I remember. You can't beat the price especially considering the high quality/freshness of the food (the meat is halal) and the generous portion sizes. With this new location they were able to add more seating so you can eat there if you choose to. The owner and his wife are so friendly and very welcoming. You can't go wrong with anything you order, I highly recommend trying the date shake and chocolate maca shake at some point. read more

Laiths is always incredible. Great service, fresh food, and great portion sizes. Authentic food as well. Cannot recommend enough!

First time here and wow wow so flavorful and such a nice portion for the price ! My husband and I will definitely return .. excellent service as well read more

I absolutely love the food here. Everything is fresh, authentic and flavorful. I love the chicken plate as well as the falafel. The side dishes are amazing!

Food and Service were great, portions were huge. I ordered a chicken shawarma sandwich, and it was huge! My coworker ordered a plate and couldn't finish half of it. Tables are really clean and ambiance is modern. Owner Apologized for serving after 15 mins and gave use a free backlava. He also asked us about feedback and mentioned his online pick-up prices are the same as his dine in prices. Overall, you can tell he cares a lot about the food, the service and his customers. read more

I am originally from Cyprus, the little island in the Mediterranean near the Middle East. I've spent a lot of time in the US and I can easily admit that this was the best falafel, hummus, tabbouleh I've had here! The place isn't too inviting to "sit-in" but the food is incredibly delicious - tasted like home. Will definitely be going again. The service was extremely nice, everyone had a smile on their face and greeted us when we walked through the door. read more

My husband and I have come here a couple times, and each time, THEY DO NOT MISS. Now, their dishes are BOMB. Whatever you order, it'll be juicy and delicious. Get their gyro. It's great. Their chicken? Amazing. Beef? Fantastic. BUT--I'm going to focus on their falafel. So, normally, I do not like falafels. I've tried them multiple times in the past and people have SWORN that it was the best at [insert location] and each time I've been disappointed. I'm used to them being so dry, bland, and just not good. The owner assured me that theirs ISN'T dry and that it's quite good. I had my doubts. I've been told that before. But, since their other dishes were so good, we decided to try falafels along with our main dishes. And wow, it was the first time I was able to enjoy falafels, and he was right!!--they were NOT dry and they were delicious. I can finally start to understand how vegetarians enjoy falafels and not burst into tears because their food is sad and gross. TLDR; probably the best, low-key Mediterranean spot in the South Bay. read more

Went in today for some falafel. The interior is very clean and quaint. The people working there were very hospitable, asking if we were enjoying our meal (which we were -- the food was well seasoned, you could taste the fresh herbs, falafel was moist, gyro was very yummy, chocolate maca smoothie was delicious as well). Don't be fooled by the fact that there aren't many people dining in. The foot traffic of the to go orders suggest that this place is well loved by locals. 10/10 recommend for some good authentic Mediterranean food. read more

Just ordered from Laith's and it was a 10/10 experience. The owner Laith was so genuine and seemed like he was actually doing something he loved. The food was amazing as well. Overall would highly recommend and plan on returning very soon. Great place. read more

Amazing food and even better service! Will definitely be coming by again. The place is new but don't be intimidated it's worth the trip!

Totally recommend this spot. I love Mediterranean food and this place did not disappoint! The hummus was so creamy and tasty, the rice was fantastic, I suggest perhaps a bit flavor on the rice however the chicken made up for it! It was so yummy! Such a well rounded meal. The owner was extremely kind, and welcoming. I appreciate that he takes pride in his food, it means he will always have quality in mind. Ambiance was balanced. Very minimalist with a hint of modern. I totally recommend!! Good food is worth the price. read more

So happy I found this hidden gem in Carson! This is mostly a to-go place since there's only a few small tables available. Lots of parking available. We ordered the chicken shawarma wrap, beef shawarma wrap, and falafel. The food was amazing with a generous portion size. I'll definitely come back to taste more of their food. read more

I'm so sad I didn't take a picture of the food...nor of the owner Laith and his wife. They are such amazing, wonderful people! So friendly and so kind to explain their menu. Love its simplicity to make sure the quality of their food is still top notch. They also offered us one of their drinks so we tried their cinnamon rose latte but using the date instead of coffee and wow what a burst of flavors! That was really really lovely to drink, light with a depth of flavor and the rose was subtle. We tried both their chicken and the beef and both were so delicious! Definitely would come back to this place when we're in the area! read more

Great food and service. I hope the owner reopens and update new location. If anyone knows please share.

My second time here. It's a small cafe but definitely worth checking out. I got the gyro plate last time so I figured I would try out the Grilled Mix Plate this time. Huge portions so you don't have to worry about not starving. Owner is really good guy. Cares for his customers. read more
