It has taken me way too long to review this place. I apologize…read more Wow. King Mediterrano. I've never eaten in, but I've picked up food from here twice and have enjoyed their food at my sister's house at least one other time. The first thing I don't understand is how this place is in Torrance rather than Redondo Beach. I don't mean that I don't understand why they chose Torrance over Redondo Beach; I mean that I just don't understand the two cities' boundaries very well, because this feels like straight-up North Redondo to me. The second thing I don't understand is how this place hasn't expanded or multiplied or otherwise won the hearts and minds and stomachs of South Bayers near and far. But maybe it already has. The third thing I don't understand is why I don't come here more often. It's not that far from my sister's house, and I was dog-sitting there earlier this year. . . . I'm fresh out of things I don't understand. What I do understand is that the owners of this place (an Armenian brother and sister?) are amazing. The food is so good and fresh and flavorful. The menu is kind of all over the place, which in most cases is a red flag, but in the case of more than one restaurant owned and operated by Armenians (I'm including my cousin's restaurant before he sold it and retired), the more different items on the menu, the better. Or at least it's not a red flag. I promise. The combo deal is legit, but even without that deal, the prices are good, especially when you consider the food quality. Writing his review now makes me miss King Mediterrano even though I don't normally miss it or think about it. Those days are over. Next time I have calories to collect in the South Bay, I'm headed straight for Redondo Beach Boulevard.

There are so many great options on the menu, but my go-to's are the Spicy Lemon Garlic Chicken, Chicken Kabobs, and Steak Kebabs. Always delicious! After all these years, Chicken Maison is still one of my favorite spots. Great food, great people, and consistently great service. Definitely deserves 5 stars!

This spot is good for families and groups with plenty of seating and a good selection of combos (Chicken + Sides). Servings are fairly large and reasonably priced. You order at a kiosk and they will bring your food to you. Staff members here were helpful and friendly. Spicy Lemon Garlic Chicken (3/5): Flavorful but a little dry. Greek ColeSlaw (3/5): Mixed reviews -- I thought it was fine but someone else didn't want to touch it after one bite. It's your standard slaw with an oily herb dressing that reminded me of Kraft bottled Italian. Potato Salad (2/5): Disappointing and mostly unseasoned mashed potato.

Al Hamra Kabob Grill is a restaurant run by a Pakistani owner, specializing in kebabs and grilled…read moremeats inspired by Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. The menu also features traditional Pakistani, Persian, and Arabic dishes, such as Beef Nihari and Haleem. After several visits, here are my thoughts on some of their grilled meats and desserts. Beef Kofta - 3/5. The kofta was a bit dry and tough. I wish it had more fat and seasoning to make it juicier and more flavorful. The grilling is also somewhat inconsistent--sometimes the kofta comes out beautifully browned, while other times it's over-charred. Grilled Fish - 4/5. This is easily my favorite item on the menu and, in my opinion, their best dish. The fish is seasoned just enough to enhance its natural flavor without overpowering it. It's grilled very well, developing a beautiful golden-brown crust while remaining moist and tender inside. Beef Shish Kebab - 3.5/5. The quality of the beef is decent, especially considering the price. Given the cut of meat they use, they've done a commendable job with the grilling. The beef has a solid seasoning base and a nice sear with just enough char to add flavor without becoming overly smoky. It's reasonably tender, though I wish it retained a bit more juiciness. Chicken Shish Kebab - 3.5/5. Very similar to the beef shish kebab. It has good flavor and is grilled well, but it could benefit from being a little juicier. Gyro - 2/5. Unfortunately, this was the biggest disappointment. The gyro meat on the vertical spit often appears to be rotating without enough heat to properly caramelize and crisp the exterior. As a result, the meat comes across as dry, rubbery, and lacking the rich roasted flavor that makes a great gyro. Kunafa (Knafeh) - 3/5. This dessert has both strengths and weaknesses. The cheese filling has a pleasant, slightly salty flavor and a creamy texture, and I appreciate that it isn't overly sweet. However, the syrup is underwhelming. A good kunafa should be generously coated with a fragrant sugar syrup - ideally infused with rose water or orange blossom water - to provide sweetness and aroma. I also wish the kataifi, the shredded pastry dough, were crispier and lighter to create a better contrast with the gooey cheese filling. Overall, Al Hamra Kabob Grill is one of the better places to enjoy Middle Eastern-style grilled dishes in the South Bay. While a few menu items could be improved, the grilled fish stands out as excellent, and the shish kebabs are solid choices. The owner is also incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a warm, neighborhood atmosphere that keeps customers coming back. It's not perfect, but it's a restaurant I enjoy visiting from time to time and one I'd recommend if you're craving grilled Middle Eastern flavors.

Best customer service compared to Torrance location..... they need to improve lol. I read reviews on this location and honestly, I think people need to be a little bit more open minded because someone complaining that they entered at 7:16 and were told to take out is so funny because if we can be honest that time it's already 7:20 lets be serious..... i love Masawaii you guys are awesome especially the Manger she is so talktive and kind to me and my husband.

You can tell the flavors penetrated into the meat and cooked until soft and tender. A plate gives you a choice of 3 sides and 1 or 2 skewers of meat. I opted for Yellow Rice, Hummus, and Tabouli and 2 skewers of meat (pita bread and labne included.) It was a lot of food! One plate fed me 3 times and there were still leftovers to make a small kabob wrap. The service was amazing! Even though I placed my order to go, the sweet lady asked if I wanted to include condiments, utensils, drinks, and she even offered suggestions off the menu that she enjoys. She was very kind and friendly and I just love an establishment that takes pride in their restaurant and their customers. Pricing is very affordable for top notch food. I highly recommend Mashawi Grill.

It came with three pieces of rotisserie chicken, two sides, pita bread, and garlic sauce. For my sides, I got brown rice and potato salad. The chicken was delicious. It was flavorful and juicy. I also enjoyed the garlic sauce. It reminded me of a creamy tzatziki sauce except with a garlic punch. That being said, I didn't care for the brown rice which was bland, and the potato salad, which was too vinegary for my taste. The service was very good. The food was ready in a few minutes. Additionally, an employee brought the food out to me even though I ordered takeout, which was nice. I'm glad I didn't dine in. It was really warm inside the restaurant since they left the door wide open. Closing the door and cranking up the AC would make being inside the restaurant a more pleasant experience. If you like Zankou Chicken or Daphne's Greek Cafe, you're probably going like this place. They serve similarly tasty Mediterranean food. I will go as far as to say that I actually prefer this place over the other two chains since the service here is much faster.
