The food is terrific. Extensive menu, fresh and authentic food. I am hardly in Pasadena so I Unilocaled it when I found myself hungry in Arcadia. Staff were polite and welcoming. Had the soujouk, filet Kebob and falafel. All were exceptional. Keep up the good work

Very healthy, very clean food. Really friendly cashier’s and GREAT taste.
I really like this place in Pasadena for a good Gyro and a crispy falafel. Also did I mention GREAT portions foe the price. Honestly, you can’t beat making it yourself. Great hiden gem. Will be back for sure.

This place has gone downhill over the past year and a half. Not sure what happened or why but it’s quite unfortunate because this place was really good. I’ve been coming here for 3 years.
The food has gone from excellent to average. The customer service and value have declined as well.
My $ 10 salad was bumped to $ 16 when I asked for extra chicken. What. It is most often way too cold inside and is quite uncomfortable. Water cups are too small.
It then took 20 min to get my order when it was not busy. They’re starting to call numbers now rather than bring your food to your table. Lazy.

The best place in Pasadena for mediterranean food. I tried their steak kebob and it was delicous. Bot their other items on their menu looks delicious too. They have everything from greek gyro to Lebanese/​Syrian shawarma and kebob.
The staff was super nice and their service was super quick.
The price is normal and you get good quality of food for what you pay.
I highly recommend it if you are looking for mediterranean food in the area.

This my favorite restaurant. If I was to pick the best restaurant it would be this one. The foods have a great taste, with a wonderful presentation. The workers also are very kind and happy to provide you food. The service is good. Also the price is reasonable.

took a gamble on this place since zankou is so good and this place is good. the gyro sandwich is delicious and perfectly balanced with meat to veggie ratio and the combination platter with the beef and chicken koobadeh is great.
other perks like quick good service, friendly staff, and superior parking to zankous weird layout
definitely coming back!

A very good Mediterranean option in mid Pasadena. The gold standard for this kind of food is Zankou and while that is a difficult standard to meet, this place does a good job.
I had the Chicken Shawerma Plate which came with hummus, garlic sauce, and some veggies. The chicken was fresh and tasty and the plate in general was really good. For $ 9 – 10 this is a great deal for some good quality food.
The restaurant was clean and the service was quick even as I showed up near closing time. I would definitely come back for another round.

The quality of this place has definitely declined. Their pita bread is thin and tasteless. Their «chicken shwarma» was like a pile of meat scrapings one might feed their pet. Their paninis have shrunk. Not coming back.

The restaurant was pretty clean with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.
We Ordered the Cornish hen and mahi mahi plate. It comes with a cup of cucumber tomato and parsley vinaigrette salad which was very delicious. When our plates arrived I noticed the rice was undercooked and pretty tough. I informed the server about the rice, but he said they ran out of rice and offered a replacement of fries which I declined. Overall the plates tasted very good. The iced tea didn’t taste very flavorful so will try the raspberry hibiscus flavor next time.
Service: courteous and friendly. Offered replacement for undercooked rice.

They close at 4 on Sundays and were doing a last call. That should have been my Q to walk away. I spent $ 30 for day old food. The rice was hard and tasteless. They didn’t serve any of the sides that originally came with. The beef was good and so were the fries but not worth the price I paid for. You’d think you would get a discount or something but no. We paid full price. I even paid extra for garlic sauce.
If I ever go back to this place it will probably be for the fries only. Anything else I think I’ll look elsewhere.

I come here a couple of times a week and even when I’m hungry and not craving anything specific, I come and order the greek salad chicken wrap and it hits the spot, always!
Great people and great service. Call ahead because they get packed out of nowhere and the food can take a little long at times.
Thank you guys!

Save your time and money, and go elsewhere. My family recently picked up dinner to go from M Local and we were quite disappointed. The chicken meals that my parents and grandma had were merely acceptable, but my gyro dinner was a joke. I have never seen such sad gyro meat in my life; think flavorless, cardboard looking slices of «meat». The hummus wasn’t bad: that’s about it. In addition to bad food, the service was terrible. The girl working the register, Sarine (according to the receipt), was rude and indifferent. She literally WALKED AWAY without a word after accepting my dad’s payment. He was puzzled, and wasn’t even sure if she was coming back. Nope, that was it. This place sucks, and there are way better Mediterranean places in the area.

I will have to say you’re probably getting what you paid for. But it was not a good experience. The gyro sauce tzatziki was very sour. And the shawarma my husband ordered was NOT shawarma. It was like roasted or sautéed chicken with no flavor.

The food at here is an inexpensive version of Raffi’s. For $ 18, I got a combination platter, tabbouleh, hummus, pita bread, rice & a cucumber tomato salad. The combination platter also came with rice, a charred tomato & green bell pepper. The food is competently prepared so it’s definitely worth 3 stars. However, when you compare it to nearby Zankou, Daphne’s or Raffi’s, I feel like M Local doesn’t really stack up. I also wish that the pita that comes with the hummus appetizer could have been warmed or lightly toasted. It was just room temperature.
My first choice on this day was actually Chick-​Fil-​A, but it was their 3rd day open and the parking lot was totally full. Since I had Baby C with me, that wasn’t gonna work. So I dared to be different on this day. In case you’ve ever wondered where Union (the one way street in Pasadena) starts, this is it!
