Established Mediterranean/Persian Restaurant – Santa Monica Prime Location
This is a turnkey Mediterranean/Persian restaurant in a strong Santa Monica location. The business has been operating since 1984 and is about 650 sq ft. It brings in around $204,000 in annual revenue and benefits from steady daily foot traffic.
Location Highlights
The restaurant is directly across from a community college. Within a one-mile radius, there is a family clinic, a high school, a park, and high-density residential housing. This creates consistent traffic from students, medical staff, and local residents throughout the day.
Business Features
The space includes a fully equipped open kitchen and outdoor dining. All equipment is well maintained, and inventory is included in the sale. The restaurant has an established customer base built over nearly 40 years. Competition nearby is limited, especially for Mediterranean cuisine.
Financial Details
Annual revenue is approximately $204,000. Monthly rent is $5,000, with the lease running through July 2027. The asking price is $95,000, which includes all equipment and inventory.
Growth Opportunity
There is clear room to grow by extending hours, adding menu items, improving marketing, and giving the business more focused management. The location already supports strong daily traffic.
Owner Support & Reason for Sale
The owner will provide transition support, including a full-time staff member trained in food prep, cashier work, and customer service. The owner has multiple businesses in the same plaza and is selling due to limited time and attention.

- Market Outlook / Competition
- We are in a strong location. Right across the street is a community college. About a mile away there is a Venice family clinic, and on the opposite side there will be a high school. There is also a shelter and high-rent residential housing behind the business, plus a park within a one-mile radius. Because of this, there is heavy foot traffic throughout the day. Competition is limited, with only one Mediterranean food place near the clinic and a school-based Mediterranean place near the high school.
- Opportunities for Growth
- There is strong potential for growth and expansion. With the location bringing in steady foot traffic, the business can increase sales by extending hours, adding new menu items, and improving marketing. With more focused management and proper staffing, the business can grow its customer base and expand services over time.
