★★★★★ 5.0 Shawn Sheng · Jun 2025

One of the very best Mediterranean restaurants around. The beef kebab was the most tender and juicy one I have ever had. The Lule and chicken was also very tasty and not dry at all. The portions were large and had great value. The interior is mainly a bar and there are lots of drink options, with plenty of seats and beautiful design. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

A friend recommended The Diplomat. The drinks and food were delicious and service top notch. This is a nice hidden gem in Monrovia. I highly recommend. We had the hummus and steak salad. The portions we're bigger than expected.

The Diplomat for the win! Started to think I’d need to drive back to Glendale for decent Mediterranean food. Yet had some absolutely delicious takeout yesterday. Really cute inside & nice patio seating outside. I’ll have to come back to dine in next time.

★★★★★ 5.0 Royce Ngiam · Jan 2026

The food is absolutely amazing and the owner is friendly and appreciative of his patrons, makes you want to keep coming back! The grilled beef is so flavorful and tender, everything just pops with flavor. The lamb is superb, go medium for the best balance. Will be back!
