The Mediterranean Kitchen 2480 S. Atlantic Blvd #101, Commerce, CA 90040 • (323) 318-2827 • themedkitchen.net

The Mediterranean Kitchen is known for its modern interpre-
tation of classic dishes and its insistence on only using high
quality fresh ingredients. One of the more popular dishes is
the Koobideh Kabob Plate, which is served with saffron rice,
warm pita bread (which is made from scratch in the restau-
rant), shirazi salad, grilled tomato and grilled pepper. Other
specialties include: the hummus, which is made on a daily
basis; the chicken kabob, which is cooked using 16 differ-
ent spices; and, for vegetarians, the falafel is made fresh
every day.

“Not only are we giving back to Commerce, we’re giving a
part of our culture to the community,” Shant said. “These
plates are derived from a combination of my parent’s and
grandmother’s recipes, so it’s truly traditional family style
food we’re offering.”

The Mediterranean Kitchen has quickly become a fast hit in
the community, becoming a culinary cornerstone in the City
of Commerce.
