Lucia Mediterranean Grill – Mid-City LA | Shawarma • Falafel • Kebab

We landed at LAX craving something healthy and ended up at Lucia Mediterranean Grill and we’re so glad we did! The servings were surprisingly generous and everything was absolutely delicious. To top it off, they even gave us free baklava, which was such a sweet surprise. Perfect spot after a flight!

Little tiny place off the side of the road! Lowkey mad expensive. SUPER DELICIOUS THOUGH, everything was well cooked and seasoned to perfection. I got the chicken pargiyot plate and the chicken was unbelievably juicy, might be the best chicken I’ve had. They have a delicious garlic sauce and this spicy green sauce that paired so well with the chicken. My gf got the chicken falafel and she liked it a lot! (I thought it was a bit dry). Friendly owner that gave us an extra drink cup because the mango lemonade was empty. She also gave us free baklava to try, but it lowkey tasted very floral. Overall amazing experience and I will be back soon! Ps. A lot of homeless around but it’s LA what do we expect?

Wow. Honestly, some of the freshest food I’ve had in I don’t know how long. Impeccably prepared by the wonderful chef Hermon. Unbeatable prices and portions. I can’t wait to come back! My new favorite place.

This eatery serves wonderful Mediterranean food! The chicken in the shawarma plate stood out with a subtle turmeric note, and the garlic whip was fluffy and fresh. The portions were generous, and the people were just as lovely. We were even treated to free baklava. The decor has interesting touches, and it’s pet-friendly too!

We visited Lucia’s Mediterranean Grill, a small and cozy spot that truly impressed us. The food was exquisitely delicious—every dish felt fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. We tried a beef wrap, the lamb chops, Jerusalem salad, pargiyot plate chicken and everything was outstanding. The pita bread was served hot and fresh. The portions were generous, and even the plates themselves felt authentically Mediterranean, adding a nice touch to the experience. The service was also excellent. Our server was friendly, warm, and attentive, which made the meal even more enjoyable. Overall, we left very satisfied. Lucia’s Mediterranean Grill is a hidden gem, and we highly recommend it for anyone craving flavorful Mediterranean cuisine.
