Family-owned since 1999, this Belmont Shore mainstay follows Mama Rodou's traditional recipes using first cold-pressed Greek olive oil and hormone-free New Zealand lamb.

What Makes it Special: 26 years of family recipes handed down from grandmother to daughter Nicky
$ Eagle Rock Greek
Spitz - Eagle Rock stands out for its modern take on Mediterranean and Greek-inspired street food, especially its Döner kebab and house-made sauces. Locals head here for lively ambiance, creative drinks, and consistently satisfying wraps, fries, and mezze that remain fresh even at peak hours.
Must-Try Dishes: Döner Kebab, Street Cart Fries, Falafel Wrap
What Makes it Special: L.A.'s original Döner spot blending tradition and street-food flair.
$$ Westwood Mediterranean, Greek
Delphi Greek has anchored Westwood Boulevard for years with classic Hellenic cooking and a flexible space often booked for private parties, fundraisers, and community events. Platters of souvlaki, gyros, and meze translate naturally to family-style menus, while the bar and semi-private areas can be configured for anything from student banquets to milestone birthdays.

What Makes it Special: A long-running Greek restaurant that leans into family-style platters and configurable private event menus.

Worthy Picks

$ Downtown LA Mediterranean, Greek
Berlin-style döner kebabs built on halal-certified meat slow-roasted on a vertical broiler, wrapped tight with house sauces that locals describe as addictive. The board-game-stocked dining room and dog-friendly patio give it a late-night hangout identity that most counter-service Mediterranean spots lack. Nearly two decades and five LA locations later, Spitz still draws repeat visits for the same reason it started—oversized wraps at neighborhood prices.
Must-Try Dishes: Döner Wrap, Gyro, Mediterranean Bowl
What Makes it Special: Berlin-style döner kebabs served late-night in a board-game-stocked Arts District hangout
$$ Mar Vista Mediterranean, Greek
A neighborhood Greek taverna built for sharing—mezze platters, tableside flaming saganaki, and Sunday patio BBQ with spit-roasted kontosouvli draw groups who want to linger over wine and dips. The open garage-door setup gets loud during peak hours, so plan for lively conversation rather than intimate dialogue. Works best when you commit to the shareable format with a few friends and let the dip platter set the pace.
Must-Try Dishes: Char Grilled Octopus, You Dip We Dip, Flaming Saganaki
What Makes it Special: Greek taverna with Sunday patio BBQ featuring spit-roasted kontosouvli and tableside flaming saganaki
