Best Late Night Mediterranean Restaurants in Downtown LA
3 hand-picked restaurants, critic-reviewed and ranked
Last Updated: February 2026
Our Top Pick
Spitz Mediterranean Street Food
Berlin-style döner kebabs served late-night in a board-game-stocked Arts District hangout
Worthy Picks
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
A DTLA food truck running halal Uzbek-Mediterranean street food — plov, samsa, and manti alongside shawarma — with late-night hours that keep it parked until 2am on weeknights. The 81% five-star rate across 338 reviews suggests the core menu lands reliably, though a 12% one-star cluster signals occasional misses. Works best as a post-shift or late-night stop for anyone who wants Central Asian comfort food at street-cart prices near Figueroa and Cesar Chavez.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chicken Shawarma, Plov, Samsa
What Makes it Special: DTLA food truck serving halal Uzbek-Mediterranean street food — shawarma, plov, and samsa — until 2am on weeknights.
