Scary! I just opened my mashawi salad and noticed something in a piece of lettuce. It looks like a metal hook. I don't even know what this could be from but is so so dangerous. It' looks like a fishing hook. 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

I absolutely love this place. It's so welcoming and clean. The service is amazing the cashier and cool are so sweet and they always seem to be in good spirits. The food is *chefs kiss* amazing! Definitely some of the better Mediterranean food in the area! read more

I love this place. Alas. I think the missed may finally outweigh the hits. I get the mashawi salad. For years. It's delicious. More or less consistent. A few years ago I got one that had RAW chicken on it. Not like a little. But glassy and pink inside. They replaced it after we drooooove all the way back but it definitely turned me off to the place for a while. Recently, I've gone back. Got a few decent salads and this last time, found myself being stabbed in the gum by something. Turned out to be some sort of orange toothpick thing??? Definitely plastic, definitely spikey, but otherwise I have NO IDEA what it was. Did I bother to complain? No. Would they have replaced it? Sure. I get take out, so it's a drive back and I do my best to check the food before I leave but come on. It shouldn't be my job to QA food for safety. Fool me once ok shit happens maybe somebody was new. But I just do not get the sense that they are putting that much effort into not maiming their clientele and it feels not worth the risk. read more

Love this place! Get the chicken kebob plate well done with spicy hummus. Been to a bunch of Mediterranean places. Usually I go for chicken sharma but the chicken kebob here is amazing! I get it every time! read more

Friendly staff & service, but the restroom is out of order and every dish ordered is overly salted

No lines and very few patrons after 1:00 PM. Fast and friendly service. Clean establishment. Sadly several pieces of the chicken shawarma was under cooked which gave me a terrible case of diarrhea. I honestly can't see myself going back. read more

The customer service was good but the food is gross. The jasmine rice is mushy and looks more like long grain white rice not jasmine rice. The steak kebab must be bottom of the barrel steak it's fatty and chewy and disgusting. The best part of my meal was the pita bread. Never coming back. Do not recommend. read more

It's been 2 months and they haven't fix or renovate their restroom. Like customers wants to use the restroom and their been saying out of order. Please do something with your restroom thank you read more

Just ordered from this place & it's AWFUL!!! The chicken is dry, the tabouleh is both dry & slightly wilted. Their garlic sauce is bland & I paid $17 for this garbage!!! Go to the other spot on Artesia. read more

I've gone here twice now and it's bomb. The food is fresh and reasonably priced. If you're going during the lunch hour I would 100% recommend calling ahead for pickup. read more

I don't know how this place doesn't have a 5 star average!! I ate there twice this week. The first time I had the kebab plate with jasmine rice and hummus. It was all amazing and the garlic sauce that came with it actually didn't make my breath stink! Magic!! The second time I had the chicken shawarma wrap and I can't believe it was even better than the kebab. The rice pilaf was tastier as well. Hummus, to die for. Also the service was amazing! Super nice, family owned.... go out and support!! read more

It was my first time at this restaurant and just having Mediterranean in general. It was sooooo good and the customer service was just as great. I didn't get her name , but the woman that helped us gave us recommendations plus checked back in to make sure we liked our food. We had the chicken, steak and lamb kabobs. All so very delicious! She asked where we from and turns out their first location is in my area! I will definitely be visiting! read more

The Torrance location is my go to for when I want to eat Mashawi but I was in the area and decided to eat at this one. I would've preferred in n out to be honest. No type of customer service skills whatsoever. The cashier didn't speak at all, my chicken was way too salty, pita bread wasn't warmed up it was cold and my " steamed " vegetables were raw. The food took a while to make and I was the only one there. I just wondered why it took so long to receive my food when the only thing that was close to warm was the salty chicken. Waste of $17. I was eating my food with buyers remorse while looking out the window at in n out, which is across the way. In n out would've tasted way better for cheaper. I'll pass next time ... read more

The chicken kabob was delicious. The chicken was tender and soft. The tabouli was perfect and so was the humus and baba! Found my new place to eat! read more

Mashawi Grill is a great little place for quick dine-in or take out. What may look like strip-mall fare is actually very good, fresh cooked to every order, and an extremely pleasant (and healthy) experience. - I like their proteins. Quality cuts, cooked to juicy perfection, in wraps, skewers, sliced, or over rice. Cannot go wrong with the Shawarma wraps, or the simple and flavorful skewers. - The rice is great and they offer a few varieties, which is usually reserved for sit-down Indian/Afghan restaurants. - Their hummus is fresh and it's perfect. Amazing texture and taste. - Parking is sketchy but I blame the In N' Out next door. The parking lot can be bonkers, and I find it fun to watch all the lazies waiting on a 400 car line for their double/double animal style, while I am eating a healthy protein, hummus, and veggies. Granted I sin at In N' Out a couple times a year, but I don't understand America's daily fetish with fast food. When given the opportunity to spend the same (or less), and eat something fresh prepared, higher quality, and better for you...why sit in a drive-thru line and kill your insides? - Anyhizzle...Mashawi Grill is a great lunch spot for a quick ethnic fare meal. I'm a big fan. The staff is super nice. They take the time to make the food right. The spot is clean. The prices are great. Can't go wrong here...! ENJOY! read more

Really delicious wrap. Quick service. Clean atmosphere great for a quick bite to eat. Chicken shawarma is where it's at here.

The food here is very tasty, more so than my other Mediterranean food joints. Funny thing, I did not know this place was here, as I stopped by for a quick lunch while running errands about town I ordered the chicken kebab plate, with one skewer. I ordered it with brown rice, hummus, and a green salad. Every part of this meal was tasty. The kebab had a slight spice flavor to it, which is always great in my opinion. The brown rice was a good complement to the chicken kebab. The hummus was good, and I ate it together with the one slice of pita bread. The salad I ate last, and even that was tasty. There are limited fountain drink options, of which I chose the iced tea. All in all, the meals was very satisfying, and I walked away happy as I continued my daily grind. I recommend this place, and it is off the Inglewood Blvd exit on the 405 freeway, on the north side. read more

When I want to treat myself at work, I'll get the Mashawi salad for lunch and it's always great!

Good. Clean. Their rotisserie chicken special is a pretty good deal, but the chicken was just okay. Their lamb kabob was good.. however it was such a tiny portion. I don't think I would order that again. My friend got the combination shawarma plate and he felt like they both could have been spiced better. read more

Love getting Mediterranean food from here! They have great kebobs, shawarma, and wraps! My favorite menu item is the Chicken Kebob Plate. The marinated charbroiled chicken breast comes on a skewer and is moist and very flavorful! Just thinking about it is making my mouth water! The plate also comes with rice, pita bread, and choice of two sides. Their hummus is great, especially when you put it on the pita bread and eat it with the chicken. The yogurt cucumber is also a must-try side! Another healthy option is their garden salad. Comes with tomatoes and onions, and the dressing is pretty good! But whatever you order...don't forget the garlic sauce! A little tart, but a nice addition to any of the meats! There is usually sufficient parking, though sometimes the overflow from the In N Out drive-through line next door can block some of the parking spots. The atmosphere of the restaurant is casual. You go up to the counter to order your food, and then they bring the food to your table. Sometimes the wait time for food can be a little while...which is the only downside of this place. But other than that, come here for delicious Mediterranean food! read more

Mashawi Grill - Chicken Kebob Plate with rice, pita bread, hummus, and garden salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Excellent service and incredibly exquisite chicken kebabs. Grateful for the gluten friendly choices! The Spicy Hummus (homemade) is sooooo delish. 5 stars for Michelle Grill! read more

I have recently ordered twice from them. Once for a small family dinner and also for a large dinner. The food is nothing short of tasty, bordering on amazing. Their chicken kebab signature plates are great. Turmeric notes in their kebab along with rice pilaf and their spicy hummus is intense. Their side of steamed vegetables are CRISPY not soggy. That alone gets them kudos points. They include some pita bread and some garlic butter with your larger orders. The food is prepared and hot when you pick up for takeout. The wait time on average is about 10-15 minutes since they appear to cook to order every time. It is really well worth the wait. Now I must agree that it is slightly pricey. But I must add that you will taste food that surpasses your average fast food joint. If want a burger, keep driving on. This is the better option and a lot healthier. read more

Cannot comprehend how someone could give less than 5 stars. First time going here was today. The lady in the front was super nice to every single person who walked in and she seemed like she knew so many of the folks walking in. If she didn't know them, that's what good service is all about. If I owned a business I would hire that woman in a millisecond. She even spoke Spanish to a man who was struggling a little bit to order and she tried to make him feel more comfortable. The food was 10/10... I got the chicken kebab plate with pilaf and spicy hummus with French fries. The pita that came on the side was warm still I saw a previous review that it wasn't warm, yeah that's not true whatsoever my pits was so warm I could feel it through the bag when I walked out to my car. Im not a huge pilaf guy but I'm not gonna get jasmine rice with a meal like this so I went out of my zone got the pilaf anyway and now I can say I like pilaf. Lol it was so good. Spicy hummus was SO fresh and perfect spice. French fries were perfectly seasoned with salt and pepper and were better than mcds. Chicken... don't even get me started ... the chicken was FLAME!!!! I can't wait to go back and try the lamb or the ground beef. I highly recommend this place. Also, I got the full plate, it was about $20 and this would have fed two of me. I was moderately hungry when I ordered and knew there would be leftovers but the half plate might be a good option if ur getting lunch!! read more

Moist chicken swarma, tasty flavor. Gyro is what you'd expect. Fresh tabuleh, spicy hummus. Plates come with garlic spread and yogurt cucumber side. read more

The best salad you can have. Very filling and tasty. You will not go wrong getting a mashawi salad.

First of all the service of this place is incredible, Sarah (I hope this is how she spells it) is an absolute sweetheart and goes above and beyond for customers. The food is incredible, it has great taste and always fresh, and the portions are good for the price you're paying. I would highly recommend anyone to try this place as they have various meat options for meat lovers and they also have tasty vegetarian options as well. read more

The chicken is good. Juicy and moist. The reason I give 3 stars is because their rice has a hint of "boiled in a plastic bag" if yknow what I mean. As well as out of the 5-10 times I've ordered the Chinese chicken salad about 3 of those times it had all the ingredients listed. A lot of time they wouldn't put the almonds in. Today it was missing the mandarins. Which is essential to a Chinese chicken salad. If you're out of ingredients a heads up would be great so I can change my order. I've actually called and suggested this before after being really disappointed about not getting the almonds on my salad. But I guess they don't care to receive constructive criticism. read more

I've been going to Mashawi for years and would always get the Kebob or Shawarma which were always very good. Recently, my in-laws brought over the Mashawi Salad and I was hooked! I've been back twice in the last 3 days and have been ordering this salad. Lots of subtle flavors and the chopped pieces of chicken and rice pilaf works surprisingly well tossed together. I like Greek food and have tried many restaurant around LA but Mashawi Grill has the best flavors. read more

Mashawi Grill - Mediterranean Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

First off, do not pay attention to the negative reviews. This is, in my honest opinion, the best Mediterranean restaurant in the area for what they are going for and that is fresh, high quality food for a reasonable price that is great for casual dine in and or take out orders. I have tried every single skewer they have and they are all fantastic. The chicken is probably my favorite. It is super tender, marinated very well and has a flavor that stands out. The lamb is also very tender and cooked perfectly. The selection of sides is awesome. You get two with each plate and I have to say that the spicy hummus is one of the best I have personally had. It's not overwhemingly spicy, but it has a nice kick with an amazing consistency and it just bursting with flavor. The tabouli is very good as well, especially if you really like a bit more lemon juice on yours like me. Don't forget the lentil soup! It's delicious! I'm happy I found this place that is pretty close to home and I encourage anyone that has ever pulled into in n out and wondered, "I wonder if that place is any good?" to put down the burger and fries for one meal and give it a try. The manager is super nice as well! Just had to throw that in there! :) read more

Great mediterranean food options. Falafel, Lamb and Beef Wraps and Plates $8 to $13. Portion sizes are great to dine in or to order out. Customer service is great and always clean facility. Repeat customer, I will return. Suggestions: The lids for the soda cups have always been kind of loose. I don't know if they are incorrect size or brand, but I almost spilt the soda on several occasions because the lids are not snug enough. Please consider other live/top for the cup. Also, the hand written signs of that are around the restaurant look a bit tacky. I do suggest getting a LabelMaker or printed out and laminated to make it look more professional. read more

This picture speaks for itself...Would yall eat this yourself? What disappoints me the most is I see food and cooking as an art form. This is beyond disrespectful and speaks about the character of the shop. Please take some pride in your craft or just don't pursue this industry anymore. I'm not looking for five star meals but this is straight garbage comparable to high school lunch. read more

Mashawi Grill - Trash - Mediterranean Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

The food is good. But the service is horrible. The cashier is sooo rude and slow! I waited 30 minutes for 1 order. And like 10 minutes of those, my food was just on the counter. She decided to help a customer before giving me my food. When i asked her if my food was sitting there this whole time she just replied with, "For a few minutes". And when i told her i saw it sit there almost ten. She responded with, "mkay". Then i get home and my order was wrong. Food is good. But i rather find another restaurant for my food. And this was not the first time having a bad experience with her. And apparently according to other reviews. Im not the first to complain about her. She has to go! Ohhh and by the way. The place was empty. Then, 3 people came in after me. And they got their food first. read more

This is supposed to be the "tri tip" beef. This place serves scraps of food. It's not pretty, doesn't seem very fresh, and took a whole 10+ mins to prepare. The second I ordered the cashier seemed annoyed to be taking my order. Hello? Aren't you getting paid to pretend to be nice for at least the 30 second you have to interact with me? This is a whole half of my food that I can't eat, it's too dry, too rough and super over cooked. Should've just gotten in n out. Or Chicken Maison from down the street. read more

How can a place like Mashawi Grill not have Lentil Soup and not know when they'll get it back?!?

2 starts only because the food was delicious or maybe I was super hungry and tired to drive somewhere else. I had no option but to eat here even though I wanted to leave after 3 minutes being there. I paid cash and cashier after touching money with bare hands started preparing pita bread without glows. Imagine how many people are touching that money? And now you're transferring the germs and maybe Covid to the food. No common sense. The other guy was wearing glows and I am thankfully for that. The service was horrible. We made it clear that we will dine in but she brought the food inside the take out boxes as if trying to shoo us away like hello? You seriously have no plates ? read more

Inconsistent. When it's good - Mashawi Salad, Babaganoush and chicken kabobs are excellent.

I love Mashawi. I go to the one in Torrance on Crenshaw all the time. They are super nice when I call. Have my food ready when I arrive. It's always fresh and it's a great price. I was on the other side of town and decided to order from this one. The woman who took my order was not very nice. The salad was about $3 more than the other place. All the lettuce was red and brown. It was just not good and I was very disappointed. Won't make that mistake again! read more

I used to enjoy this restaurant but it has gone downhill. The only good part about this restaurant now is the spicy hummus and the coleslaw. I would always order the steak kabob, which is pretty pricey compared to the other options, even though the price doesn't justify the quality. The meat appears to be old and the portion gets smaller and smaller every time I order food from here. The recent and last time that I ordered the food here I had to go to the bathroom right after I finished the meal and a few minutes later yet again! I tried to give them more chances, hoping that the food would improve but after my most recent visit it just keeps getting worse. It's safe to say, I won't be ordering food from this restaurant anymore. read more
