Best Restaurants in Glendora, California

One of the first things our clients ask after "How are the schools?" is usually "Where should we go for dinner?"

Glendora’s dining scene is a huge part of its charm. We don’t just have big chains; we have unique, family-owned gems that bring incredible flavor to our community. Whether you are celebrating a closed escrow or just need a quick Tuesday night bite, here are our top recommendations.

The Diplomat Junior

If you talk to any local about food in Glendora, eventually the conversation turns to "The Dip." This is our go-to spot for incredible Mediterranean cuisine. It’s casual, fast, and consistently delicious. The Chicken Shawarma is a staple, but let’s be honest—we go for the garlic sauce. It is legendary. It’s the perfect place to grab a healthy, flavorful dinner for the family when you don’t feel like cooking.

The Curry Pizza House

Pizza night is a tradition, but sometimes you need to mix it up. The Curry Pizza House has taken Glendora by storm with its Indian-Italian fusion. If you haven't tried Chicken Tikka Masala on a pizza, you are missing out. The flavors are bold, the crust is crispy, and it’s a fun twist on the standard pepperoni pie. It’s become one of our favorite spots to recommend to clients looking for something different and delicious.

Luca Bella Fine Foods

When you want something a bit more upscale for a date night or anniversary, Luca Bella delivers. The ambiance is intimate, and the Italian-inspired menu is consistently excellent. It’s right on Glendora Avenue, so you can take a romantic stroll through the Village after dinner.

Frisella's Roastery

Sometimes you just need a great sandwich. Frisella’s is a local favorite for lunch. Their tri-tip sandwich is famous for a reason. It’s casual, quick, and delicious—perfect for a mid-day fuel stop.

The Donut Man

Okay, it’s technically a bakery, not a restaurant, but no Glendora food list is complete without it. Open 24/7 on Route 66, their fresh strawberry donuts (when in season) are a rite of passage for any new resident.

Living in Glendora means you never go hungry. We love supporting these local businesses that give our city its flavor.
