Polka Restaurant & Catering is a beloved Mediterranean spot in Los Angeles, California that caught the attention of Guy Fieri and the crew behind Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Sadly, Polka Restaurant & Catering has since permanently closed its doors.
The restaurant was featured in Season 6, Episode 13 — an episode called “Mama’s Cookin'” that first aired in 2009.
Customers consistently rave about their experience — the restaurant holds a 4.5-star rating on Google across 436 reviews. The menu is moderately priced, making it accessible for a casual meal or a special outing.
Being featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives is a major milestone for any restaurant. The show, hosted by Guy Fieri since 2007, has visited hundreds of restaurants across the country, shining a spotlight on the independent, owner-operated spots that define America’s food culture. For Polka Restaurant & Catering, the DDD feature put Los Angeles, California on the culinary map for viewers across the nation.
Although Polka Restaurant & Catering is no longer serving customers, its appearance on DDD remains a lasting tribute to the food and the people who made it special.
