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

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

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

About a week ago i ordered from this location and they failed to bag my gyro with garlic fries. I did not receive these items. I immediately called the restaurant and they confirmed the items were left behind. I told her i am unable to go and pick up so she ensure me she will notate under my phone number so that next time i order i can call them and they will included to my order next time. Today i ordered and called and they said there are no notes and there is nothing they can do to help me. I was literally robbed i paid for items i never received. I will no longer order from this company unless this issue is resolved. read more

The taste and overall experience was mediocre. Maybe Im bias because I know good, authentic Mediterranean food. But this was not it. The chicken had no flavor, and not sure if it was cut right because it came in cubes. The garlic fries were small and greasy, and the garlic sauce was bland. Mediocre if you're looking for good shawarma. read more

Mashawi Grill - Mediterranean Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

The food there is great but the customer service is bad. I'm standing second in line to pick up my food and when it's my turn to come up, the cashier decides to answer the phone instead. Not only once but twice. What am I? Invisible??! This needs to be corrected...if a customer is standing there, right in front of you, you need to acknowledge them...first. Then you can acknowledge the phone calls. Put them on hold and take care of the customer in line first. Just sharing a piece of my mind...now that's off my chest, I can eat. Update.... I spoke with the manager there and she apologized for the bad customer service. She is currently working on addressing that issue. I hope she stays true to her word. read more

That chicken kabob is damn good. Very tender juicy and full of flavor. Gyros, not so much. Nice lady who runs the place.

I always get the Mashawi salad. In my opinion it is so much better than the Maison salad at Chicken Maison. The Mashawi salad comes with perfectly cooked grilled chicken, romaine lettuce, rice, cucumber, radishes, red onion, sesame seeds, Parmesan cheese, pita chips and house dressing. They also give pita bread and a side of garlic spread. The place is always clean, the staff is friendly and the service is fast. read more

Ok, so Mediterranean fast food may not be what you'd expect to find on Inglewood Avenue. I sure didn't, but it turned out a-ok. The lady at the counter recommended a Kabob Plate. It comes with a scoop of Rice, a single Pita, and 2 sides. I said ok. For meat, I went with 2 Skewers for $13.99. One was Lamb Kebob and the other Shish Kebab (Sirloin Beef). Both are marinated, but the small portions were a little dry and light on flavor. For sides, I tried Hummus to go with the Pita Bread and a healthy Garden Salad. Nothing was magical. Nothing was terrible. It was ok. I went back to my car in the free parking lot being semi-full after satisfying the daily requirement that I eat dinner. I can't say I was overjoyed with Mashawi Grill. So, I won't. It served it's purpose of being ok. Mashawi Grill isn't the cheapest fast food option around, but it stands out in this part of town for being clean, safe, and pretty ok. read more

***Mashawi Grill is an okay option for Mediterranean order-at-the-counter food, but nearby Chicken Maison delivers a more satisfying lunch and Harbor City's Fiesta Grill serves up more authentic cuisine*** Mediterranean cuisine is very popular in the South Bay. Chicken Maison, which is close to Mashawi Grill, is the busiest and serves consistently well seasoned and well prepared food--meats (even lean ones) are often moist at Chicken Maison. Fiesta Grill in Harbor City doest not have as nice or as comfortable of a dining room as Chicken Maison, but its food is good and tasty and there is a greater variety of more authentic preparations. Mashawi Grill has a similar menu to those places and their chicken kebobs are pretty moist--much more moist and well seasoned than what you would find at Chicken Dijon, which often serves dry and bland chicken. Mashawi Grill's pita is warm and good too. Their salad is okay as is their hummus, but I think their rice options are a tad odd--jasmine rice and brown rice instead of basmati rice. Service is friendly and quick at this order-at-the-counter spot. Prices are okay though I think you get bigger portions at Chicken Maison and I think Chicken Maison's prices are lower too. Mashawi Grill is a decent lunch option for Mediterranean food though the food at Chicken Maison, which is just a few blocks away, is noticeably more delicious and a better value. Mashawi Grill is located in a retail plaza that has its own free parking lot. While you should be able to find an open parking space, this restaurant is right next to an In-N-Out so you might find yourself in a jammed parking lot during peak times. read more

Mashawi Grill - Marinated chicken breast kebob, brown rice, pita, hummus, and garden salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

everyday coming to work i passed by this place. And it used to be a breakfast/ sandwhich placed and they closed. they sold the place to a mediterranead food place. i was excited to see another one in the area of my work. well 4 months have gone by, i thought.. Ok this place is still there. maybe i should go try it out. well came in, there was 2 ladies in front of me and 2 guys behind me. By the time it was my turn, i ordered the chicken kebabs plate ( 2 skewers, rice and 2 sides; i picked garlic fries and hummus) no drinks included... that's ok.. i usually dont drink soda anyways. by the time i ordered there were 5 people behind me. and my ordered came out to be $13 with tax included. i waited... and waited... and waited.. the 1st person behind me got his food first.. his was tabouleh salad. Then the person behind him got his salad too. then the 2 ladies in front of me got their shwarma's plate, then the 3rd -th person behind me got their food. by this time i'm fuming!!!! WTH?? i get it that salad doesn't take that long to make.. but heck.. if my food aint coming of the grill fast then you don't work on that darn salad!! sorry. to top it off, i got my meal 20 min later.. and the to go container was so light. not what you expect for paying $13!!! so i got back to my desk. and opened it up.. uh hmmm.. just what i expected. * look at the picture* would you expect that small bites to be considered as 2 full skewers? what size skewers are you guys using? baby skewers?? aarrrggghh... needles to say i'm not happy with this place. i called them to ask if they had given me lunch plate by mistake... and the lady on the phone says:" no you got a full plate" she asked how many pieces did i get.. i said 5 big pieces and some tiny ones.. she said you should have gotten 8 pieces. well i don't see 8 pieces in my picture...do you? read more

The switch from tri-tip Shawarma to gyro meat for the combo plate, was enough to make me stop coming here. Not even comparable! I used to LOVE this place. read more

Service and food are fantastic! Two thumbs up. Love Mediterranean dish but this one is by far one of the best in town.

Really 3.5 stars My friend and I were in the mood to try something new so we came in here one night for dinner. We decided to split the Tri-Tip and Chicken Shawarma plate. For our sides we got the Rice Pilaf and Hummus. We should have ordered some extra pita bread because it doesn't come with very much. We also ordered a side of Falafels. The Tri-Tip was a little too well cooked and was a bit crunchy. The food was good over all. Light and healthy tasting. I didn't really care for the Falafels though. They just seemed to be lacking flavor. We will be back for sure to try out other menu options. read more

We had catering for my sister's graduation, for about 50 people. Pauline helped us all the way through the process. She made the process easy. The food was ready at the time of pick up, warm and ready to eat. Our guest loooooved the food. They all had seconds and they all asked, where we got the food. I'm glad we made the right decision and went with this place. We had tried several, but this one by far was spot on with the flavor. Definitely a place to go back, too. Btw, the quantity of food, will definitely not disappoint. read more

The food is sooo salty and the staff is not friendly at all. Also very expensive for bad food. I was waiting for a while before I could place my order and when I got my food I was very very disappointed. Just try to avoid this place until they get customer service oriented staff, and cooks that can actually cook read more

I've driven past this place a few times. Since I was in the area, I decided to give them a try. As I entered, and not being familiar with the dish names to what the food actually looks like. I wished that they had pictures of the food with description. I had ordered the Beef Kefta lunch plate with rice pilaf, hummus and the garden salad. Knowing that the kebob is cooked to order, I do not mind the short wait. Once my order arrived, I was pleased to the plate presentation as it looked tasty. I was amazed how tasty the garden salad tasted, though I'm not a salad person. The Beef Kefta was normal compared to other Mediterranean restaurants, and wished for a little bit more spices. When I finished my lunch, I was full and satisfied. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean. I will return again with friends and co-workers. read more

My review is based on staff and owner. We arrived and a blackout happened in the whole block. Staff even continued to cook as much and they could using cell phone lights. Owner arrived right away and was nice, apologetic and did as much as he could to keep us happy. We waited but light never came back. We will be back to their food and then I will update this review but based on interaction they deserve five stars. read more

Was hesitant to try this place, with the mixed yelp reviews. But I did, I ordered the Greek salad and added chicken shawarma (my fav, kinda a chicken shawarma snob) TO GO! Overall, it's hard to mess up a Greek salad and pleasantly surprised with the tasty shawarma. I would order again! Staff was friendly and helpful! read more

This place is in absolute horrifying representation of Mediterranean cuisine. Thank you for the old left over burnt side of count them -12 fries. Thank you for the stalest pita bread that has been most likely on the shelf for more lord knows how long ...and so called "fresh" falafel that fell apart right off of the crumbling pita. For all of the patrons trying to support small businesses - leave this location to the wayside - it is a hard No. read more

Good quality of food and great service at this quick Mediterranean restuarant. I stop by here about 3 times a month to either get a wrap (when I want a lighter meal) or a dinner chicken and tri tip dinner plate when I'm starving. The chicken shawarma wrap is slightly small but comes paired with your choice of a side for about $9. The mix dinner plate is packed! For about $12 you get what feels like a quarter chicken and an equal portion of beef. The beef is slightly less tasteful than I would have in other restaurants but the chicken is king. The plate comes with your choice of 2 sides from a list of about 10 options. I love the hummus here, plain flavor nothing fancy but it taste delicious. Plenty of parking available. read more

My wife and kids like the food here. The food here is Mediterranean...Lebanese to be specific The chicken kabobs are the best in my opinion. The sharmwa???? Plate with beef and chicken good. This is a good change from in and out. They have a choice of sides so that you can eat salad or vegetables. I think it's a good place to try. read more

You know why they call it falafel, don't you? Another Mediterranean place and another 10$ falafel plate. I had this one for dine in and no I'm not one to publicly take photos of my food. It's embarrassing. I'd much sooner pop a public boner at a children's graduation party than do that. But that's besides the point, and I'm not saying I would do that... I mean really, why would somebody do that? Why would you even think that? Shock value? That's just poor taste. Wtf am I doing again?...ah shit the falafel! 4 *'s + Fresh ingredients YT Erik Wade read more

I tried their chicken kabob over rice for lunch w/ 2 sides; hummus & garlic fries. This time I was disappointed at the garlic fries, they didn't taste garlicky at all. Actually I didn't see any garlic at all, perhaps they forgot but I didn't want to ask since it took forever to get my food. The chicken kabob was very juicy & hummus was exceptional as usual... The girls were pleasant & it wasn't too crowded so I don't understand why my food took forever this time. I heard the cooks having a good time laughing in the back, I just wished they would've made my plate & then goofed around after... read more

This place gave me the runs, be careful !!! and the sad part I barely ate any of it because it had an off taste, which is why I stopped after 3 bites, their soda dispenser has to be one of the dirtiest I've ever seen! First time eating here and I only went because I went to Petco next door, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED (: go somewhere else that is actually worth your money and you won't get sick ! I know I'm not the only one experiencing this from this place. read more

I've been hearing about Mashawi Grill for a while and finally had a chance to try it out. ATMOSPHERE It's one of the nicer "fast-casual" around. Clean and well maintained. SERVICE The owner/manager greeted me and helped me navigate through the menu. Super friendly. FOOD I decided on the 2 skewer plate (1 chicken, 1 beef kefta), rice pilaf, hummus and salad. Tons of seasoning in the beef kefta and very flavorful. The chicken kabob is probably the best I've tasted in the South Bay. Well seasoned and juicy. Hummus was excellent and well seasoned too. Definitely better than some of the full service sit down restaurants on the area. PARKING Free parking. Though at lunch or peak times it can be a bit tricky, but it's in a large shopping center so can not imagine it being a problem. read more

Mashawi Grill - 2 skewer plate (1 beef kefta, 1 chicken kabob) with salad, rice and hummus - Mediterranean Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Never tasted a salad as good as their chicken salad. Perfect chicken kebab and hummus. 10/10 would recommend

I ordered the Mashawi chicken salad. It was very good. They place the salad on a bed of rice pilaf. Yum. I would've given my review 5 stars. But, since they added way too much salad dressing, I had to minus one. Next time, I'll have them put it on the side. Other than that, it was pretty good. read more

I absolutely love this spot. The food is always fresh and tasty. I happened to be hungry one day and yelp a place to eat. I have been going for about six months now and every time have been greeted with a friendly smile and conversation. I usually buy the Mashawi salad for my family and I. Yesterday, the owner suggested chicken Kabobs. I was able to select rice pilaf, with two sides. I chose the spicy hummus and a side salad. My meal was fantastic! I would definitely recommend this place. read more

This place is soooo good. The chicken shawarma and steak shawarma are a must get with a side of hummus. Both meat taste so fresh and you can see all the meat cooking on the rotisserie. They are great for catering or delivering. read more

I love this place I'm serious but employees keep changing and they don't know the old menu. To the owners please track them the old menu. Us long time customers STILL LOVE the old house salad and the people Over the phone or cook keep giving me the wrong salad. We order about 3 weeks ago for lunch then family dinner and again today. For who ever is reading this review the food is good and also PITA 360 in Gardena which they own as well this location one of the sisters owns it and the one in Torrance a brother owns and they are very nice people. Please support small business like them. Just please have them do the salad the right way. read more

Not sure what happened to Mashawi Grill but it used to be my go to place. Lately their quality has plummeted. I always order the mashawi salad and it comes out fine. I mean how hard is it to make a salad right? Or so I thought because the lettuce pieces I got looked like they were torn by hand, the stem from the tomato wasn't cut off, the cucumbers were soggy, and their chicken was burnt to a crisp and tasted like yesterday's left over refrigerated chicken. Just see my picture for yourself. My husband ordered the kabob plate as usual and it seems like every time their portions decrease but you still pay the close to $15 a plate for a non-sit down restaurant. read more

Go down the street to Hummus House, their lunch special is bigger than Mashawi's "plate", Ordered Lamb Plate, literally gave me 3 pieces of meat. Hummus House id leagues above them, and they're just down the street. Avoid. read more

In general, not a terrible place to grab lunch. With many other competitors in the area, there's not much about this place that stands out, but it's solid food with a better chance of serving you during rush hours compared to some of the other busy stores in the area. read more

I normally order catering delivery from here for office meetings, so today I decided to try my luck for lunch. I call in a to go order. we normally do catering orders, so I wasn't really sure of what to get. I went with the tri tip kebab plate. The tri tip just so happens to be my favorite, I also really enjoy their rice pilaf. So glad I found it in lunch and dinner size! Also, I'm huge on customer service! It really warmed my heart she remembered me from my office and was genuinely happy to see me. FIVE STARS all day. read more

My boyfriend brought me a Mashawi salad once and I loved it! It had this garlic sauce that you dip your pita with and it was really refreshing. I came here as I remembered how great it tasted and the only girl cashier working there took my order. I said I wanted a small Mashawi salad and my boyfriend got the tripe combo. I have the lady my card and realized my Total turned out to be $26 she charged me for a large! I didn't realize it until after that she didn't charge me for a small even though she repeated "small?" Back to me and I said yes small. We got to our car after we picked it up and we didn't even get our garlic sauce. So I went back and she said oh we're not serving garlic.... ok well what sauce do you have so I can dip my pita in? And she said ummmm zucchini? So I said sure. The zucchini sauce tasted gross. The whole reason of us going here was for the delicious garlic sauce. I wish she would've told us they're not serving garlic when we were ordering but instead she wanted to scam me and place my salad order as a large instead of small and cheat us of our garlic sauces. Not worth it will not be coming back here due to this. read more

So i went 30 minutes before closing, shouldnt be a problem right? Looking to buy dinner. I wanted to order a meal but they said i wasnt going to get any pita bread, which is part of the meal. So i asked if they were going to replace it with something, and said no becuase its not a regular side. The workers just didnt want to go and get bread out the back... just out of laziness they lost a regular customer. So i guess this laziness wouldve just transferred to the quality of the food and i still wouldve been disappointed. Dodged a bullet there. read more
