The Patio Mediterranean Cuisine in Duarte

Great food and great owners, has a lot of potential.

This place needs some help. Ive been there twice in the passed approx 5 years and it always turns out the same. Food is disappointing. The one cook and server they have is nice enough but I feel as if I just ate reheated left overs. I wanted this place to be worthwhile but, its always a letdown. The place feels as if it needs an investor or something to perk it up.Im done.

I had the Salmon plate. It was so delicious. The service was great. Excellent Mediterranean food.

Have wanted to try out this place for awhile. The cover of the menu features a photo that is 5 blocks from where I was born (Beirut, Lebanonso that was a good start and won me over immediately. I had a nice chat with the owner before we ordered. Is this place fancy? No. Was our meal amazing? Yes it was! The lamb chops and the beef kabob were tender and yummy. The salad was fresh and delicious with the right amount of “hot” in the dressing. Rice and hummus for the win! This establishment has an “A” rating. I will absolutely be a return customer. The patio is simple and open air (there was a nice little breeze tonightwith a view of the mountains. Easy parking. Staff was super hospitable. If you want delicious food and don’t mind the spartan decor then this is your restaurant. Lots of space for large parties and families.

This was the best food ever !!!We enjoyed it so much !!

Ive wanted to try this place for a long time, and so glad I finally did! I ordered the Mediterranean chicken plate, which came with rice, a small salad, pita bread and hummus, and of course, the chicken. The salad had a delicious dressing which I dont know what it was but delicious. The rice looked plain but was surprisingly good, especially with the chicken sitting on top of it, and its juices and flavor had seeped into it. The most delicious part was dipping the chicken into the white garlic sauce. The patio has an actual patio for dining and is very inviting. I cant wait to go back!

Thank you Patio Mediterranean cuisine cause this was one of the best barbecue beef skewers I’ve ever had!I recommend everyone who sees my comment to try it 😋Make sure to get salad it’s so yummy + medium beef Juicy and delicious 🤤Definitely coming backRakan.

Tasty food , big quantities. Less crowded on weekdays.

Lula Kebab hit the spot ! Delicious food with beautiful outdoor seating! I want to try their appetizers

The food was delicious. The owner was friendly and allowed us to enjoy our time there without rushing.The only hiccups we found were that we would have liked to have wine with our food and there wasnt any and the bathroom could have been a little cleaner.

Really good food here. We got two plates , frys with garlic sauce and two sodas for around 40$. Its always very lonley and you wont find chick-fil-a or in-n-out cheerfully service here. But you should should let that deter you from eating here. You get the small mom and pop shop feel here.

Nice place ! Very friendly staff! I will definitely go back for a dinner/lunch there

My meat was burnt. My food was bland. I mean no flavor at all. Some place I will never go back to.

Absolutely wonderful. I was walking by and the animal fat on the grill grabbed ny attention. Thank you my friend. It was great

Great food and as its name implies a very pleasant patio setting.

We found The Patio to be a very authentic, local, Mediterranean restaurant. The Greek salad was delicious as well as the chicken kebab. I think the ownership has struggled through Covid along with every other restaurant without a drive-thru. A little touch up with the decor might help. I know things will pick up for this restaurant as the food is too good to not make it a successful establishment.

Not sure if they allow dogs or not, but it is a lovely patio regardless. The nice young man, Giovanni, served me on a slow Wednesday evening. I had the combination plate of lula, chicken, and beef, with a side of hummus. All were excellent, the beef was my favorite. Any dog would have been impressed with the juiciness of the beef and the flavor of the chicken.

Food is good, the special is certainly worth it. Although it is truly unfortunate that this location was always had trouble getting customers. The location - especially considering during the "outdoor" dining requirements put on to restuarants during the pandemic - one would think it would fair a lot better. Can not add much more than that.

Good food and good portions. Definitely worth trying if you like Mediterranean food.

As soon as I walked in I saw and smelled, in the dead center of the patio, a person puffing on the stub of a very fat and very foul cigar. If I stayed, I would not have been able to breathe, much less taste the food.

The food was good but I felt like I was in Lebanon. The ceiling fans were off and it was dark in the patio.

The owner is very personable. Great food!!!!

The beef was delicious. The hummus with pita was perfect! Love it.

Excellent Lebanese cuisine .. the beef shawarma platter was pure deliciousness .. highly recommend the place

Really good Mediterranean food and very reasonably priced. The service was also excellent. Cannot recommend this highly enough

The best Lebonese food around the San Gabriel Valley. A wonderful outdoor seating. And if its too cold, they have indoor seating too. Its delicious!

No shine. Young server was quick, although loss track of time in between checking on the table. Food wasnt bad, it just didnt give me a reason to come back; maybe due to distance

Not really good. Falafel almost burned and lots of oil in it. Pita bread also almost burned. Flavor was ok.

Really great food and service! The owner is personable, while cultivating a welcoming environment. Will definitely come again!

Great food, reasonable price, pretty good service!

Food was great, staff very helpful and accommodating. Server eager to please. We will be back.

We order the vegetarian platter it was good to share with someone. 👍👍 food was DELISH

Great food and the people are super friendly. The lamb is amazing!

Very small indoor dining area, not the best parking, but food is good and inexpensive

FANTASTIC service and Great food!😊

The service was a little bit slow but everything else was really good. I enjoyed my food and the price is reasonable.

The Patio has amazing food. Every time we have been here, it has been fantastic. My favorite is the chicken kebab, and my son likes the lamb kebab. The hummus and pita is great.

I when their end their portios are berry small I when to the city off Burbank en I found a restaurant call the night Greek food on San Fernando road it berry good they give you a lot of rice en pita. Hummus free en soda all you can drink the owners name is Angelika she hook it up when is good costumer satifaction en they treat you like family

Awesome great food excellent staff. Very nice.

Great Mediterranean food, both for dining in and takeout. I especially recommend the taboule, mutabal, and beef shawarma. Never busy. They recently added hookahs.

Delicious food, amazing people that makes you feel like home. Food tastes homemade!

The food is excellent here. Always friendly atmosphere...beautiful view of mountains...

Food is good. Traditional arabic style food. Not for people on a tight budget, otherwise enjoy.

Driving through the area and saw this place on google maps and well worth the stop, food was excellent seasoned just right pita bread was soft 👍 would def recommend.

The food here is amazing! Service is top notch! The humus is the BEST!!!

The food is delicious! ! We had a taste of beef kabob, the shrimp, chicken and much more, it was perfect. The Lebanese salad was very fresh n tasty.We loved the hospitality given to the big group we came with. Although we had a group of 10 ppl, the 1 chef did an awesome job getting us our dishes hot and in a timely manner. The waiter was so nice to us very friendly and patient. We had a few loud kids with us, and he was handling our every request, and he did it with a smile. We plan to visit again, and we will definitely recommend The Patio to others.

My family and I decided to try this place after seeing positive reviews. They did not disappoint when it came to delivering the hospitality you expect at a middle eastern restaurant. The server was very nice and helpful. I think he quietly threw in an appetizer that wasnt a normal part of the meal. The chicken and the Lule Kebabs were delicious, and the humus seemed fresh -- it was definitely tasty. The only qualm we had was the shawarmah wasnt really shawarmah, but more like shredded beef -- not enough of an issue to knock it down any stars.

me and my family wanted to eat middler eastern food so we saw the patio and decided to stop by.. we had the hummus, moutebel, chicken, beef, rice and some other appetizers. everything we had was great the customer service was great as well. it was nice to hear everything is made in house nothing out of a can, and you can defiantly taste it.

Great food and such a great atmosphere to be during summer/spring time

I love eating here because the food tastes homemade. The best discovery about Ava, however, came from speaking with the owners. Its clear that they care about providing friendly service, quality ingredients and consistently delicious food.
