“Ali Baba is my go to Mediterranean food in north county San Diego. Ambiance is good, it captures the culture, but still feels plain. The service is great! Food is amazing! If you're about the kind of food that makes you feel like you're at your friend's house who's from another country, this is it. Tastes like their grandma loves you like a son or a daughter. Keep the fresh hot naan coming!!!!“

“I love Shawarma with Tahini sauce. When I found this restaurant accidentally as I picked up the order for UberEats customer, I knew I saw them on Instagram before, so I decided to go back the next day drove from Hollywood and tried Wagyu shawarma and fries. I liked it expect they include lamb in it. I’m not a fan of lamb that comes with distinct smell, so next time I’ll request without lamb. Also when I saw it on instagram, their fries were much bigger than what it is now. The name Wagyu is exaggerating since their meat didn’t come from Japan obviously, but overall I liked it ( minus lamb) and definitely try it again and again when I go back to Studio City. The staff was professional and attentive. Their free coffee is a wonderful treat for me.“

Thanks for the great food and service.“

“TLDR: Food is great. Bit pricey but maybe worth it. Really really like this place! Food is great and will give you the feeling that it was made with a lot of care. Flavors and seasoning are great. I have tried the chicken thigh and beef kababs, tabbouleh, falafel babaganoush and hummus and I think the babaganoush is particularly outstanding. The service was pretty standard, nothing particularly outstanding just your normal "as expected" good service. Staff is helpful and willing to answer questions. The do not sell the entrees as a side meaning if you want an extra kabab, they won't sell it to you individually, you would have to order a whole other plate. Think they need to reconsider this. I personally do not fully understand this. The ambiance gives local spot. Seems like many regulars are here from the way it vibes when you enter which is neither good or bad for me, it just what it is. The bathroom is clean and doesn't smell which is remarkable I suppose. Parking is a bit more difficult since they are in a strip mall that's maybe a bit smaller than most but that's not on them. It is what it is. At least its free.“

“My grandson wanted Greek food for lunch and this restaurant had good reviews - all five stars ? So when we get there, it was located on the left half side of a gas station. We decided to park and give it a try. My grandsons ordered chicken kebab plates with a rice base and two sides. I ordered the gyros plate with a greens base, grilled vegetables, and marinated feta cheese. The feta cheese didn't have a very good strong flavor like Greek feta and the texture was smooth, not chunky. The tzatziki was tasty but the cucumbers were too big and made it hard to spread it. The chicken was tender and juicy, the hummus had good flavor, and the rice had good spices. The gyros wasn't like the usual gyro meat sliced from the hanging vertical rotisserie. It was more slices of gyro meat that was browned on a grill or in a frying pan; the outside was not juicy and freshly cut like usual gyro meat. It did have a good flavor. The other thing was when we paid it asked for a tip. We added a tip, never been there before and not knowing what to expect. When our order was ready, we were called to the counter to pick it up. The food wasn't served on plates with normal silverware but in to go containers with plastic silverware. No offense, but don't ask for a tip if you aren't doing anything to deserve one. I suppose we didn't have to throw away our containers but it didn't seem right to leave them on the table. For those reviewers that think this is the best gyro you've ever had, there's a dozen better ones than this in the SFV.“
“This is what happens when you support shitty businesses like Tendergreens studio city. Mazza actually had great food, nice ambiance, kind staff, and good music too. They didn't deserve to close! We need to do better. Never forgiving this community for actively supporting the business next door that has numerous health issues and bad service. I hope Mazza can come back one day.“

“We stopped for lunch, Sunday, kind of late.. place was empty.... We had eaten here before... so why not?... My wife ordered a falafel sandwich combo, and I had the lamb gyro plate over rice with a salad... Looks are very deceiving... This very unassuming place, tucked next to a DelTaco.... prepared an unbelievable meal!! The falafel sandwich was huge!! and delicious!! and the gyro, rice cooked perfect... meat very tasty... Leave all prejudices out.... and give this little family owned place a try... Oh. when leaving.. the place was full!!! We weren't wrong after all.!! Order for take out or delivery.. but support this place!!“

“Great option for food if you are visiting Discovery Cube across the street since the cafe at the cube only serves cold food. My toddlers enjoyed their food - Cornish hen, pork ribs, hummus, red bean salad, rice, etc. Priced low and portions are generous. Food felt fresh, which is important to me for my kids. Service is great, too. Clean and open eating area. Tables are not sticky.Do note that food prep may take a bit (15-20 mins). The wait is worth it and to know the food is cooked fresh. You just have to figure out how to entertain the kids.“

“I've driven past this cafe so many times and didn't even realize that there was a hidden gem there! Came in for lunch and was greeted by a sweet woman who took my order. It's definitely a mom and pops joint so you'll feel right at home immediately. I ordered the chicken shawarma with salad and the chicken didn't disappoint! It was tender and flavorful, just what I needed to satisfy my appetite. I do have to say that it's a small spot so there is no restrooms available for customers but if you're getting your car washed, you can use the one there and walk over.“

“I stumbled upon this bakery while visiting a different shop in the plaza and was pleasantly surprised by the owners' hospitality. They kindly offered to prepare fresh lahmajun if I could wait a bit and even treated me to complimentary Armenian coffee during my wait. The highlight was that my family absolutely adored the lahmajun! It's definitely a place we'll keep coming back to.“

“Grade A (96): Food was excellent, Had 4 different type Kebabs and they were all amazing. The Antakly Bread was the best I've had, (Awesome and rich with veggies and Pepper paste). Krdiyeh (Cheese, Tomato & Jalapeño inside a toasted bread. Tabbouleh was very good with the right amount of lemon juice. Hummus & Babaghannouj were very good, but we had to order another Hummus because the quantity is a bit thin. Price per person can be anywhere from $20 to $50 depending on how much you want to eat, but I think $25 is a port good standard portion.Vegetarian options: Middle Eastern food has a lot of vegetarian options like Tabbouleh, Fattoush, Hummus, Mutabbal, Falafel, fries, Krdiyeh Cheese beureg etc.Parking: There was parking when we went.“

“New York City inspired Halal Street Food Experience in the West Valley I recently revisited this hidden gem tucked away in the San Fernando Valley, and it's safe to say, it's definitely not your traditional Greek food fare, but it's something equally satisfying. Despite the mispronunciation of "gyro," what you'll find here is a delightful fusion of flavors reminiscent of the halal meat street food carts of the bustling streets of New York City. Stepping into this popular spot, it is reminiscent of the famous Halal Guys chain, I opted for their mixed halal meat gyro, a departure from my usual platter choice. What arrived was a burst of flavor, with perfectly spiced halal meat nestled in warm, crisp pita, generously drizzled with their signature white sauce. For those craving an extra kick, their hot sauce adds just the right amount of heat. As I savored each bite, I couldn't help but wonder why it had taken me so long to return. The food here is undeniably delicious, making it a staple in the San Fernando Valley dining scene. While prices have seen a slight uptick in the wake of post-pandemic inflation, it remains a budget-friendly option for those seeking a taste of authentic halal street food. However, if you're on the hunt for a more traditional Greek gyro experience, Firehouse in Tarzana comes highly recommended. Nestled along Topanga Boulevard in the West Valley, it offers a culinary journey that transports you to the streets of New York City with each bite.“

“The cashier was rude , I asked her if they sold carne asada fries. She pointed to the menu. I said it only says nachos. She replied " no" our Antonio's nachos are fries. How would I know that! I'm not a regular customer. And with that type of customer service surely I will not be a regular customer.“

“Tried this lunch spot today based off Yelp reviews. It did not disappoint. Quiet, clean, and the food was delicious. The owner, Lusy, was there and brought us a sample of their leek soup before bringing our order out. It was fantastic. We took some to go after finishing our meal. Highly recommend you seek out this hidden gem. My only complaint... parking is a little tough.“

“We had lunch here recently and to my surprise, it was seriously delicious. I say that because I don't normally like Mediterranean places as I feel like many are run of the mill, and not too delicious or original places. However, I thought to try it out with all the great reviews it had and it did not disappoint! I had the grilled chicken and it was so flavorful and moist. It was also a lot of food and plenty for the price. It came with a super crisp and refreshing salad to start as well as with a side of rice and eggplant "hummus" style dish. All delicious! My mom had the same meal and also loved it . A friend of ours had the beef and said she greatly enjoyed that too. There is ample parking, as it is in a large shopping complex. The service provided by Alina was in a word: outstanding!! She was so attentive, friendly and kind. Hagop was also very helpful. I believe he is the owner. It looked like they were quite busy with some catering orders and that's great to know, since I would be more than happy to pick up food from them in the near future.“
“Sasoun Bakery is a hidden gem in the world of baked goods! I stumbled upon this delightful bakery and was instantly hooked. From the moment I walked in, the aroma of freshly baked treats was irresistible. The pastries and bread are a true work of art, each bite bursting with flavor. What sets Season Bakery apart is not just their exceptional products but also the warm and friendly staff who make every visit a pleasure. It's evident that they put love and care into everything they create. Whether it's a flaky croissant or a hearty loaf of bread, Season Bakery never disappoints. Five stars for a bakery that has quickly become my go-to for all things delicious!“

I will continue to order from here all the time. Everyone at the table was very happy and kept asking where's the food from. I'm very grateful for Gumri's owners Mike & Artur for providing exceptional food & service. Thank you and God bless your business and your employees.“

“I've been coming here since 1992 or earlier. This is one of my best childhood memories. I remember when the owner had all the autographed pictures of famous people in the walls. I remember he' always said his mother makes the best and has the best recipes, top secret! If you want falafel this is the best. At 44 years old I am still trying to figure out his hot sauce. I crave it. But I'm in Orange County. If I ever go to LA I go there. My wish would be for him to open up in Orange County :)“

“Stopped in for a later lunch after strolling around the LA Zoo for a few hours. Unfortunately, they were out of beef shawarma (and don't serve it with lamb), so Jim G. and I opted to share the Rib Eye Plate. We had to wait about 8 minutes or so for the rib eye to cook, which is totally fine. The plate is massive! All the sides on it, plus eggplant and fries on another plate. We also opted to order a little falafel to taste and they were very tasty! The rib eye was but there wasn't really a lot of it there. I realize it's an expensive meat, but the $30 plate cost is comparably more expensive than the other meats. We shared a bottle of red wine ($37) and chilled out with our friends, who all enjoyed their food, too. Huge parking lot in the back, with just a short walk to get to the front of the shopping center, where Tel Aviv is.“

“Ive been treated very well by the lady that is always serving there. I didnt have money, was homeless and she gave me some of the vest and most yummy food ive ever eaten. She even threw in a soda. She didnt have to, could of been like so many other places and turn me away i was so hungry and even pregnant. Anytime ive been back there she always gives me the meal and tells me to keep my money i need it. I appreciate your kindness and love you gave me when i was desperate and actually starving. Thank you for being a woman who treats people like they are people and show love.“

I don't know what we would do without this place. He always saves us at the last moment. The owner of the place Dudu always has a sense of humor and good energy!“

Someone please give me the recipe for their buttermilk dill salad dressing. Otherworldy.“

I will definitely come back again.“

“Falafel Palace has been here for 52 years. Same family ownership. Gina is a wonderful person. She greets you with sincerity and guides you through the menu if you have questions. Pride in ownership is evident. I used to go here years ago. We finally made time to revisit. The food was wonderful. I had the lamb gyro with double meat (my favorite). Tender, seasoned just right. Tzatziki and spicy sauce onside. Mom had the falafel in pita. It was huge! She enjoyed it so much that she couldn't put it down. My wife had chicken shawarma. Again seasoned just right and tender. Humus, awesome. We were so stuffed. Had to take a baklava home for later.I suggest stopping by and taking a break from your burger routine. It is great to support a local family run business.“

“This fruit tart goes beyond the ordinary. The cake is incredibly fresh, and the fruits on top are vibrant and delicious. What stood out to me the most was the soft, spongy cake nestled between the crust and the fruits. A treat for chocolate lovers - the fruit tart is secured on the cake pad by melted chocolate. Yum!“
“LOL I wasn't planning on leaving a review but after checking the two only comments here, it's too obvious that they're just competitors trying to spread false information and just for that I'm giving them a 5 star rating to even out the playing field so to speak - this rating is based on their other locations which I've frequented“

“I was looking for an Armenian bakery to purchase some Maneishe. I saw this bakery in Google maps and decided to check it out. The bakery is located in Granada Hills in a nice area. I parked in the back and walked in from the back door. Upon entering the bakery I immediately was able to smell the wonderful aroma of baked goods! The front counter and dining area is very cozy and well appointed. The menus are on the wall and fresh baked goods displayed, as well as Armenian groceries. I ordered the Maneishe Extra pita wrap. The wrap was delicious, full of Zaatar, fresh veggies and Labneh. The owner was there and she was very nice. I will definitely be returning!“
