Reviews for The Diplomat Eatery and Tavern in Monrovia, CA
Great Bartender! Wonderful staff. The food was plentiful and delicious!!
Absolutely delicious chicken shawarma wrap!! The hummus and pita were great as well. We went on a work lunch so I wasn't able to... try the cocktails but they looked fun and inspired. Might be an excuse to visit Monrovia in the future just so I can go back! Read more
OK so my friend and I have been trying to go to dinner to celebrate my birthday for several months which was in July! I live in... Silverlake she lives in Monrovia. We were finally able to get together for dinner tonight at The Diplomat and let me tell youhow amazing it was! We shared the fried cauliflower the lamb appetizer, the Greek salad and the lamb chops which were ALLunbelievable! Even the rice that came with the lamb chops was mouthwatering b I commented that it had to have butter in it andthey said it doesn?t and I was totally shocked because it tasted so buttery! I don?t know what they do to it but it was Thebest I have ever had. The lamb chops were SO flavorful! I have had lamb chops from so many different places and I have to saythese were the best I have EVER sunk my teeth in! So incredibly moist and flavorful! The owners Lucy and Joey were phenomenal!So hospitable and incredible conversations with both of them about their journey to Monrovia. Plus our server Stephanie was such a joy to meet and so accommodating You can tell she enjoys what she does. It seems like such a family oriented place andneighborhood favorite. I will definitely definitely go back! it?s a hidden treasure and one I am so glad My friend introducedme to it! Read more

Located in Old Town Monrovia off Myrtle Ave, this hidden gem is a place to try. I don't usually eat Mediterranean food or vegan... but I gave it a shot and they didn't disappoint. The food was delicious, though a little excessive on the rice portion. Greatdecor and staff. Will come back again. Not sure why Myrtle Ave isn't busier during the weekends. Great food, bars and shops tocatch your eye. Read more
For starter, I ordered the Baba Ghanoush $9- roasted eggplant, mixed with spices and topped with olive oil came with warm pita... bread cut up in triangles for easy scooping, I mean dipping. Lol. Honestly though, this was so good I was basically scooping thebaba ghanoush on to the pita bread. Their Lunch specials include: MEDITERRANEAN WRAP COMBOS, Available Tuesday-Saturday11am-4pm. Your choice of meat/protein Wrapped in pita bread & served with a side of hummus and pickled turnips. So I triedtheir Beef Shawarma Wrap $14- Sliced fillet mignon seasoned with seven spices, pan grilled w/ onions & rolled with fries,tomato, onions, pickles and tahini sauce. I forgot to say meat well done, bit this was seasoned and cooked perfectly I honestlydidn?t notice if it was not well done. I ate half and took the rest home. I ordered the Lule Kebab Wrap $14 for takeaway-Ground fillet beef mixed with onions and spices, marinated and grilled rolled with lettuce, tomatoes and hummus. This I ate thefollowing day and it was more than enough for me, I could only eat half. The flavors exploding in my mouth made me want to eatit all though. Even warming it up in the microwave only didn?t make it soggy. For dessert I had their Baklava, there were twopieces that came with the order for $4. Just the right amount of sweetness and flakiness. These went well with my orange spicedhot tea. Service was friendly and attentive. Restroom was clean. I was able to find street parking right away. The Diplomatalso takes bookings, Walk-ins.
