LA's Mediterranean Trucks
Los Angeles has the largest Armenian and Iranian communities in the United States, centered on Glendale and Westwood, plus deep Lebanese, Israeli, Greek and Turkish kitchens, and its Mediterranean trucks grill all of it: lule kebab, koobideh, shawarma, falafel and gyros.
Pick a verified Los Angeles Mediterranean truck for a team lunch, a wedding or a celebration anywhere in Los Angeles County or north Orange County.
Los Angeles's Favorite Mediterranean Food for Your Event
From shawarma off the spit to koobideh off the charcoal, this is what LA's Mediterranean trucks serve.
Shawarma
Chicken or beef marinated and stacked on a vertical spit, shaved to order into a wrap with garlic toum, pickles and fries, or over rice as a plate. The Lebanese and Armenian standard of every LA Mediterranean truck and a line that moves fast.
Falafel & Mezze
Falafel fried to order and tucked into pita with hummus, tahini, Israeli salad and pickled turnips, with mezze spreads of baba ganoush, tabbouleh, dolmas and labneh. Vegan by default, which makes a falafel truck the easiest menu for a mixed office.
Armenian Lule & Kebab Plates
Ground beef and lamb lule kebab, chicken and pork khorovats grilled over charcoal, served with rice pilaf, grilled tomato and pepper, lavash and pickled vegetables. Glendale's kebab culture, brought to a truck window.
Persian Koobideh & Saffron Rice
Koobideh and barg kebabs over saffron-stained basmati with grilled tomato, sumac and a pat of butter, plus joojeh chicken and tahdig when the truck has it. Westwood's Persian tradition, ideal for a plated lunch or a Nowruz party.
Greek Gyros & Souvlaki
Gyro meat shaved onto warm pita with tzatziki, tomato and onion, chicken and pork souvlaki skewers, Greek salad and lemon potatoes. The familiar Mediterranean handheld that every guest recognizes.
Bowls, Salads & Vegan Plates
Build-your-own bowls over rice, greens or couscous with grilled vegetables, falafel, hummus and tahini, plus stuffed grape leaves and lentil mujadara. LA's health-forward side of the cuisine, naturally gluten-free and vegan on request.
Why Event Planners Choose Food Trucks
The catering choice that delivers on taste and experience
Cooked by the Communities That Own These Dishes
LA's Mediterranean trucks come out of Glendale, Westwood, Little Armenia and the Lebanese and Israeli kitchens of the Valley. Charcoal grills and spits in the window, not a chafing dish of dry kebab.
The Easiest Menu for Dietary Needs
Falafel, hummus and mezze are vegan, kebab plates over rice are gluten-free, and halal meat is standard on most LA Mediterranean trucks. One menu covers nearly every restriction in a large office without a separate order.
Two-County Coverage
Trucks across Los Angeles County and north Orange County carry their county's mobile food permit, and LA County trucks display a Public Health letter grade. Catered events sit on private property, with COI and gate paperwork handled by the truck.
Book It Yourself in Minutes
Browse verified Mediterranean trucks, pick one, place the order, and pay once the truck accepts. Trucks arrive self-contained with their own grill, power and refrigeration.
Perfect for Any Los Angeles Occasion
From studio lots to backyard celebrations
Corporate Events & Employee Appreciation
Shawarma wraps and bowls are the office lunch that satisfies the vegan, the halal and the gym crowd from one window, whether the lot is a Glendale office tower, a Burbank studio or an Anaheim business park.
Weddings & Receptions
A mezze and falafel station during cocktail hour, kebab plates for a family-style reception or a late-night shawarma truck. Armenian and Persian weddings across Glendale, Burbank and the Westside have long set the standard for feeding a crowd well.
Birthday Parties & Private Celebrations
Milestone birthdays, graduation parties, Nowruz gatherings and family reunions across the Valley, the Westside and north Orange County. Kebab plates feed a crowd that arrives in waves.
Community Events & Festivals
Church and cultural festivals, school carnivals, HOA summer nights and apartment community socials across Los Angeles County and north Orange County. Mediterranean trucks pair naturally with a dessert or coffee truck.
College & University Events
Cultural club events, orientation and finals-week breaks at UCLA, USC, Cal State Northridge, Cal State Long Beach, Cal State Fullerton and LMU. Falafel wraps suit a student line.
Group Outings & Team Events
Sports leagues, production wrap parties, church groups and volunteer days bring Mediterranean trucks to the end-of-day gathering. Wraps and bowls eat well standing up.

Best Times to Book in Los Angeles
Plan around the SoCal calendar for the best selection
Spring (March-May)
Nowruz events in March, then campus and corporate season. Graduation Saturdays in late May and June go first, so book those early; Nurses Week in May fills hospital campus dates.
Summer (June-August)
Company picnics, summer Fridays and backyard parties compete for weekend trucks. Weekday corporate lunches stay flexible, often week-of. Mezze and salads suit a hot afternoon.
Late Summer & Fall (September-November)
LA's hottest weeks run August into October with Santa Ana wind days, so plan shade and an earlier window. October and November evenings are ideal for outdoor kebab service.
Winter (December-February)
Mild winters keep trucks working outdoors year-round. December holiday parties fill first; January and February weekdays have the best availability of the year.
Los Angeles Catering Experts
Los Angeles Mediterranean trucks work a region where Los Angeles County Public Health permits and letter-grades mobile food facilities while an event in north Orange County falls under that county's own permit program. Catered events sit on private property, and studio lots and campuses typically ask for a certificate of insurance and a scheduled gate or lot window, which the truck handles once you book.
Whether you're hosting at a Glendale office tower, a Westwood hospital campus, a Brea business park or a Pasadena backyard, LA's Mediterranean trucks bring professional service and a charcoal grill.
