Best Late Night Legends 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 late-night friendly halal Mediterranean counter/food-truck style stop near the 110 for shawarma, dumplings, and rice plates. Flavors skew bold and saucy, and service is fast even at odd hours. Best when you want something filling after a show or a long day downtown.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chicken shawarma plate, Beef shawarma wrap, Manti dumplings
What Makes it Special: Halal shawarma and comfort plates served late in DTLA.
