Great locally owned Mediterranean plate. My friend and I split the Full Chicken Kabob plate with white rice, mashawi Cole slaw, and garlic fries because we both weren't too hungry, but it was a ton of food for the both of us. The food came out fast and hot. The chicken was delicious! Super juicy and flavorful. The rice had a slight buttery taste and was super fluffy and paired well with the chicken. The garlic fries were hot and crispy and came with tons of garlic. The mashawi Cole slaw was not your typical American Cole slaw, it was very herby and vinegary. The plate came with pita and toum, 9/10. Would definitely come back again! There was ample seating and the parking lot in front was small, but there was more parking on the side. read more

Mashawi Grill - Full Chicken Kebob Plate with Garlic Fries and Mashawi Cole Slaw - Mediterranean Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE SERVICE! The food is good--the spicy hummus is honestly amazing--but service matters, and this place consistently misses the mark. This was my second visit, and unfortunately I had the same rude experience. I tried to overlook it before because I liked the food, but tonight sealed it for me. I brought a friend because I had been hyping up the spicy hummus, and we were excited to go. We arrived around 7:16 PM, and right away the cashier was rude and told us our order had to be to-go because after 7:20 PM they don't allow dine-in. I mentioned it was only 7:18, and she responded with attitude, saying, "Oh, it just turned 7:20." I don't mind paying for good, quality food--even if it's not cheap--but I won't tolerate rude service. No matter how good the food is, the experience matters just as much. In my opinion, the staff could really use some customer service training. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back or recommending this place to others. Not worth it. read more

Every time I come visit my family in LA, I have to get this spot! The restaurant itself is pretty small with 6-8 tables inside. The staff here are so sweet and friendly. Definitely recommend this spot if you're in the area, the food is so fresh and delicious! Food review: Mashawi chicken salad: (5/5) Always my go to. It comes with the perfect amount of crunch, flavor, and chicken to salad ratio. I love to throw one of the garlic dressings on the salad and mix it. So delicious!! Baklava: (5/5) These are bombb! It has the perfect amount of chewiness and flakiness. I order one every time I come here. read more

Mashawi is always delicious. Chicken kabob wrap for a quick on the go bite is so flavor and filling. But my go to is the Mashawi salad, half salad can easily feed 2. Ask for pita and the garlic sauce, to make pita pockets. yum! read more

Food was great and I am someone who does not like this type of food. The kabobs were excellent and I can't wait to go back. Delicious!!!!

I'm bumping this to 5 stars since my last review ten years ago (!). Chicken shawarma sandwich is every bit as good as before, if not better. Maybe has the edge on Zankou these days, even. Price - $13 out the door. Everything is expensive these days, however I would say that this is fair - delicious, filling for lunch. I like to add hot sauce, which takes this to another level. Very mom and pop, clean place to eat. The lady who runs it is nice. Recommended and craveable. read more

I've been coming here for years. The food is the best. The chicken is always tender and well seasoned and the steak is juicy and tender. Make sure to get the garlic sauce, I've never had anything like it anywhere. My kids are picky eaters and they like this place more than In-n-out what!?!?! If you're looking to get your Mediterranean food fix, get it here. Epic! read more

Mashawi Grill - The chicken and steak are tender, every cut is delicious. - Mediterranean Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Fast service and good quality food. The hummus and the garlic dip are delicious. I usually get the half plate chicken kabob since it's just the right amount. The chicken shawarma and gyro is also great for even a quicker service. read more

Best tasting chicken kabobs I've had yet. They're flavorful and juicy. All that and it's breast meat, which is normally dry and bland.

I mean first things first, their chicken is amazing. The chicken kebab plate or wrap - I can't vouch for the shawarma. I've been coming here (and their Torrance location) for about a decade now because of the chicken. I generally love the food and don't mind the service I receive because I typically take it out. Now, you may be wondering why I'm leaving a 1-star review. Yelp and Google both have their close time as 8:30. I called tonight (Monday May 19) at 7:55 and the phone rang for about 2 minutes before I hung up. I live nearby, so I decided to drive there. When I got to the restaurant at 8:11 (which is about when my order would have been ready if they had picked up the phone...), the cashier told me that they close at 8:15 and they are no longer taking orders. They don't have hours posted on/near the door, so I can't confirm this, but again, Yelp and Google both have their close time at 8:30. Also, I am also confident I have picked up food between 8:15 and 8:30 in the past - I try to avoid restaurants close to close, so it happens once a blue moon. I used to work in the restaurant industry and sure it was annoying when people came in right before we close, but I would still serve them. My bad, I guess. This may have been an isolated incident, but service is typically not great when I eat in the restaurant. After reading other reviews, I think service is a persistent problem. It pains me to do this because it is one of my favorite places to eat out, but I hope this will spark change. read more

Horrible experience been co ing here a long time ordered chicken kabobs and she told me I ordered beef look I wear hearing aids and my wife heard me order chicken and the difference in pronunciation is distinct! Also you're out of Pepsi one and the dining room looks terrible! I am not impressed with the food enough salt on everything to basically kill an army and season for the rest of the year yes I wasted 50.00 on this dinner on the way to the game! I ordered 500.00 worth of food from you at one time for my daughter's party when the owner was present and the quality was good! Shame that I will never return! read more

I come here all the time I just called at 8:16 PM to place a quick order as I live down the street The lady that just answered the phone said they close at 8:15 but the website says 8:30 PM And if you do close at 8:15 what's one extra minute lazy and your website clearly says 8:30 PM read more

If you've never had the Mashawi salad, you're absolutely missing out! The half plate is enough to fill me up. The large salad I typically share. My daughter loves the chicken shwarma with fries. Today we tried their brownies today for the first time- DELICIOUS. The owner is always sweet and inviting. read more

Ordered beef lula wrap, it's disgusting. Untasted, unfresh, dry, meet, with onion inside, that's all, no souse, no any other ingredients.

Highly NOT RECOMMENDED. read more

The baba was the better of the two. Nice flavour like home. Hummus was ok. Not much flavor but ok. The rice Was rice nothing spectacular. It was good The service was friendly and asked her what food was good and what she likes. She suggested the chicken and she was spot on. Very helpful in suggesting. Ambiance was ok. Would I come back ? For the chicken and baba yes and will try Another dish. I'd there was a 3.5 I would give that. 2 too low, so 4. read more

Great tasting food . I've tried the salad , fries , shawarma , garlic sauce. It's my preferred place to go for shawarma. Great service at the counter when ordering as well. A favorite. read more

I ordered a gyro plate to go but never been here before. I haven't eaten but it felt light in comparison to Maison Chicken portions. When I paid with card , they didn't tell me there is a surcharge fee of 58 cents . And then I saw a very small notice in between cash register. I told her I could have paid with cash if she told me. Not going back . Just saw the plate . The tabbouleh looked old, 1 only got 1 pita bread . Babaganush was do small. Definitely not going there . Go to Maison chicken instead. read more

I've been to several Mediterranean spots in the LA/South Bay Area and this is by far hands down the best place. No other place even comes CLOSE. Mashawi has such great portions, flavors, and freshness. My family and I literally always get food from here. read more

Honestly, the food here was terrible. Everything tasted bland, old, and way too salty. It didn't feel fresh at all, and I left pretty disappointed. Definitely not worth the money, I wouldn't recommend eating here. read more

Oh no why didnt I read the reviews before going there today! Good grief, what a waste of my hard earned money. $14 for a kabob wrap and it was scarily lightweight, when I grabbed my bag to go. Seriously, as soon as they handed me the bag I knew something was off. It was the weight of a snackbag of potato chips like WTH. They threw a piece of meat in a pita, a few chunks of tomato a sprinkle of onion and called it a day. No sauce, no lettuce, no flavor, Just a bad bad use of $14. Too bad they are not interested in return business. After many years I decided to give them a try today and they reminded why I stopped going here several years ago... no bueno. read more

I have never been disappointed! Their skewer combo is my favorite. Always grilled to perfection. The service is always friendly and my wait time is minimal. read more

There's a reason why I don't order my favorite SALAD here anymore but since I was in the area I figured I'd try it one more time...,UGHH THEY STILL SERVE IT WITH TOO MUCH RICE!!! And it's wet & mushy !! The Mashawi salad should have less rice & more greens.... ITS A SALAD NOT BURRITO CHICKEN BOWL! The location along Crenshaw Blvd makes their salad way better & their jasmine rice is not wet & mushy. read more

I have ordered falafel and baklava here in the distant past and was pleased; now, in September 2024, the food seemed different. I don't know whether the management is new, or whether the restaurant is using a different supplier. The tastes and textures are not the same as I remember. The shop is clean and well-lit, and the food prep area clearly visible from the front counter. The setting is pleasant. read more

They're food is ok. Service not so much. They need to update the info on their menu. Kids Kebob plate says it comes with a drink and two sides. My daughter ordered that, when we got her plate it only had one side. We assumed the other side was hummus but nope. Just rice and chicken. We also asked for the drink and we were told it didn't come with a drink. Didn't feel like arguing so here I am hoping the owner reads it and updates their menu. read more

This is my go to Mediterranean food. I found it when I use to work in Hawthorne. Unfortunately it's far from my house so I take advantage and go when I'm in the area now. I love the chicken kebab plate it is my favorite. Everything is so tasty. The chicken is very juicy and flavorful, hummus is delicious along with the rice. It is well worth it. read more

A friend recommended this spot to me. We've been here twice and both times the food has been soooooo good! The first time we went we ordered Chicken Kabob Plate, Salmon Plate and Falafel. The kids loved everything. The hummus was fresh and the pita bread was warm and soft. Kabobs we're tender and flavorful. The falafel was fresh and perfectly cooked. The second time we added the mashawii chicken salad. I could just eat this for dinner it's so good. Also had chicken kabobs, salmon, hummus and baklava for dessert. Def our go to Mediterranean go to spot now! read more

I ordered the falafel wrap and it was very very dry. The falafel themselves were very salty and dry. Plus a drink equals $18+ NOT WORTH IT - GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! read more

I came to this place to try out their food as I am always looking for the next best in California. Good food is tough to come by in SoCal. In my honest opinion, I was not impressed. My ordered consisted of a chicken shawarma a small side of hummus and a can of soda. The shawarma was a subpar at most. It was chicken wrapped in a small pita bread with some garlic sauce. It was definitely missing some of the key ingredients you are supposed find in a sandwich like this, such as a pickle at minimum. The hummus was ok. In regards to seasoning, some olive oil and paprika.. definitely not the seasoning I would expect from a middle eastern restaurant. Finally, I was charged $3.50 for a 12oz soda can. I think this is the most I've ever spent on a can of soda in my life. Service was quick, staff about 2, customers 1 other than me. Definitely will not be returning to this location as it definitely did not meet my expectations at the least. Luckily, I didn't start with very high ones. read more

The food is amazing, I went two times in one week. I got the chicken kabob, spicy hummus, tabbouleh. So good, and the owner was so nice and personable. read more

Originally wanted to go hummus house but was too fricken crowded in the area. Came here and was just crowded everywhere. But had some good food. Honestly food is really good the only con is the portions....wish there was just a little more . Other than that ill rate it 5 star. read more

I wish i can give no star at all. The Chicken is wet and mushy. Doesn't taste like Shawarma at all. I threw it instead. I tried enjoying it but I cannot cheat myself. read more

Mashawi Grill - This is what they call Chicken Shawarma. - Mediterranean Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I had the chicken shawarma It was horrible!! The pita bread fell apart! The chicken was over cooked it also fell apart and very salty! I think the cook was having a bad day or very tired. What a waste of money read more

We enjoy the food here and usually pretty happy with it. Of all the restaurants that serve a garlic sauce/paste, I think they make the best! I placed a phone order for a Mashawi Salad, not knowing there were two sizes available they automatically sold me the larger one for $17.75. Sadly, for nearly $18 dollars this salad is a total rip off, I literally had at the very most 3 ounces of chicken in the entire salad. Very disappointing to pay this much for a salad with hardly any protein in it. I hope the owners read this review and make changes to insure their customers not only get good food but also value for the money they spend here. read more

We will definitely come back to this delicious place. The Hummus House was closed that day. So, we came here instead and didn't regret it. read more

The food in general was meh. The chicken and Hummus was ok but everything else lacking any flavor. It's decent. Like if you wana eat on the go and have limited choices it'll do. But I wouldn't seek it out. Lady at the cashier barely spoke. Not the best communication skills. Also it's a hassle to get in and out of there because drive through next door is crazy. read more

I frequent both of the Mashawi Grill restaurants, but I have to say I like this one a little better. The food here just seems to have a little more flavor and is always perfect. The two skewer plate is my go to, and I always have left overs. The Mashawi Salad is also amazing. I REALLY encourage you to try this place. read more

Instead of hopping on the freeway and heading to Kings Hawaiian:The Local Place as planned, I saw this place along the way, anchoring a mini-mall next to the In n Out Burger Drive. On an impulse, I pulled into their drive. Time for an impulsive culinary adventure! Ordered the tri-tip shawarma. It came to my table in less than 10 minutes...on a white square plate. The sandwich was completely wrapped in foil, as if to go, not to dine in, so the display of the sandwich did not get me excited about what I was about to eat. No matter, it's the taste that counts. Alas. I opened up the sandwich and it looked like it was filled with dry broken bits of lavash. The sandwich seemed like it had been sitting around and wasn't made fresh, maybe I got someone's go-to order...but the pita/lavash was soggy in the middle and hard on the inside with the brittle broken bits. The tri tip itself had a strange texture and no seasoning, except when I ate some harder burnt bits (which actually tasted good)... I eat Mediterranean food at least once a week so I know something was wrong with the assembly and freshness of the food. And no small container of sauce to help. Too bad. If the sandwich doesn't come with garlic or yogurt sauce, you might consider a small container of something to accompany. Just a suggestion. Would make a better impression when the sandwich comes to the table. There were plenty of diners who were enjoying their food. And their food seemed served for dining in...the friendly girl at the register even asked me if my order was for dining in or taking out...I said clearly dining in...oh well, maybe I just got someone's bad day. Too bad. The girl who took my order was nice and definitely didn't have anything to do with the poor assembly of my wrap sandwich. In fact, the menu looked good too, and so did the desserts on display, and for a fast-food place, it was small but comfortable clean and pleasant. Too bad about that tri-tip wrap. read more

the food here is amazing! my go to is a beef kefta plate with humus, and garlic fries! the humus is to die for! perfectly spiced and creamy!! the yellow rice is also amazing! and the beef keft with the garlic sauce is out of this world!! i'm obsessed with this place!! other restaurants like humus house are fine, but mashawi grill is 100/100!!!! read more
