“I want to express my appreciation to the Pure Banquet Hall team, especially Violet, for their exceptional work. The venue itself was beautifully decorated, and the attentive staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was in place for our unforgettable event. From the moment we communicated our ideas to the event's end, everyone involved took care of every detail with professionalism and expertise. Their attention to detail made all the difference in creating a seamless and flawless experience. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was perfect, and everything was organized as we expected. I highly recommend this venue for any and every event. Thank you once again for the unforgettable moments!“
“So happy to find this Italian vegan gem!! Gorgeous ambience/decor - really gives a feeling of classy minimalist spaciousness! Delicious GF options and best of all the menu is completely vegan!! And I can’t believe they even had TWO GF desserts! ? Our beautiful waitress was amazing, and knew the menu incredibly well (that’s so important to me!) and I wish we’d gotten her name! (She had an extensive gorgeous tattoo along one arm and bilateral ear spaces (? sorry that’s the best description I can give!?)“
“Weird, but the place was dead----and i mean dead----at peak hour on Saturday night. My wife and I were the only ones in the place. The ambiance/bar was upscale but quaint. The service---by the owner and wait staff---off the charts great. Food was also very good. Had the moussaka and my wife had shrimp. Everything was tasty. Hard to explain why there was no one else there.“
“Our first time and definitely not the last time at this delightful restaurant. Impeccable service, amazing waitress (Olga) who was watching her tables so closely, making sure during the entire time to accommodate her guests. Pleasant, professional, great personality and a perfect match for such restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was so comfortable, perfect lighting and seating area. The manager (Leslie) stop by our table because we wanted him to know how much we appreciated Olga’s great work and how much we enjoyed everything. No matter where go are in LA, you must visit this wonderful restaurant. Kudos to the chef, staff and the management.“
“ou won't miss the meat" at this "go-to for high-end vegan" and vegetarian dining, a "phenomenal" "late-night find" on Melrose offering "inspired" "comfort food" and "creative" Vegan cafés abound in health-conscious L.A., but Crossroads Kitchen, which opened in 2013, sets itself apart by turning plant-based dining into a white tablecloth affair. Crossroads is a high-end vegan restaurant for carnivores. Plant-based chef to the stars Tal Ronnen—he counts Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres as clients.“
“Came across this restaurant on yelp and decided to stop by because of their great reviews. Im glad i did because now it makes sense why they have such good reviews. Amazing 10/10 service and food. Extremely nice ambiance to whole another level. I would say Their food is the best mediterranean food in not only entire valley but entire california. Trust my words and you wont be disappointed to come and check them out. Thank you and ill be back for sure .“
“Great now I’m going to be dreaming about felafel sandwiches all year. This place is the truth!A long time ago there was a Lebanese chef that open the falafel shop next to the mosque near my apartment in Seoul. As soon as you would walk in the door, he would smile at you tear off a piece of dough, roll out your pita and put it in the oven. Heaven I tell you, can you really have a great falafel sandwich without freshly made pita? Not in my world. Joe’s is the best I’ve had in ten years and I’ve been searching.If you’ve never had a falafel sandwich on freshly made pita, you owe it to yourself to get here as soon as possible.“
“The BEST dining experience!! Our table had a gluten & garlic allergy and the staff and chef were so accommodating!! It did not feel like an impediment, they offered us so many options!! All the food was delicious and the service was even better!! We love this restaurant and can't recommend it enough!! 20/10!!“
“This is the best shawarma place EVER!! I don’t usually write reviews but this one’s worth it! The chicken shawarma and beef pita is absolutely amazing and delicious. And if you add fries right inside your shawarma it’s like so yummy I can’t even describe! You will not find shawarma like this anywhere in LA!!P.S. couldn’t take proper picture because was too busy eating my shawarma“
“I wish it was possible to give this place higher than 5 stars. We had such an incredible dinner during our weekend trip to LA.First off; the atmosphere is awesome. The open dining room, along with the lighting and music make the perfect setup for a fun/modern environment.We started off with cocktails and both really enjoyed them. For appetizers we chose the pork belly sliders based off of reviews online. I personally wasn’t blow away by them, but my girlfriend really enjoyed them. We also decided to share the truffle flatbread and WOW. This was quite easily the best part of the meal. The dough was perfect and the truffle sauce on top was incredible. Do yourself a favor and order this!For the entrees; we both opted for one of the pasta dishes. Sticking with the same theme my girlfriend got the truffle pasta. She absolutely loved it, I tried a bite and was jealous I didn’t order that myself. I chose the sweet potato gnocchi with short rib and it was very good. It probably could have used some more salt.And just when we thought the meal couldn’t get any better…we ordered desert. We were going to get the churros since many reviews online talked about them, BUT based off of our server’s recommendation we ordered the chocolate cake instead. No words…just delicious. We were so content after that. We both are in agreement that this was one of the best meals we’ve had at a restaurant in a while.“
“The food was amazing and the atmosphere was so beautiful! I have no complaints about the location or the service. I did not find the lava cake dessert anything too special but the rolls were so delicious! I had the lamb and my husband had the stew and the presentation for the food was beautiful, it was almost too pretty to eat. It is worth trying out for a very romantic date - don’t waste it on someone casual.“
“Today for lunch, my colleagues from the office and I decided to come to this wonderful restaurant! They joined our tables together, and while we were waiting for our order, they brought us some quick appetizers. The main dishes we ordered were very delicious, all the food was fresh and excellently prepared! The atmosphere in this place is charming, with beautiful views from the large panoramic windows. We definitely recommend this place! ????“
“This is an incredible place, hands down one of the best restaurants in LA and I have been to many. The food is a true art, all ingredients are fresh and of the highest quality. The service is excellent and the music band that they have creates an incredible ambiance!“
“We ordered a Greek pizza, a Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, a Vanilla and Nutella ponchik for pick up and everything tasted so good. The pick up time was 25 minutes and when we got there, they were wrapping up our food.Average pick up time, if I may say, for food that good. If they were any faster I'd be suspicious.We ordered on a Wednesday around 5-6pm.We definitely found our favorite pizza place.“
“I contacted Misah regarding catering for my birthday party for 30 people. From the very start, Misah and his staff were polite, professional, and friendly. My wife took me to the restaurant for lunch to sample the food a couple of days before the party. Misah was very nice in person as well. The food was freshly prepared and very delicious. All the sides were good as well; the lentil soup, cucumber yogurt, and hummus. He offered us free desserts to sample. Their homemade baklava is so good. When they prepare your catering order, they cook the kabob close to your pickup time so that it is hot and fresh when you get home. They use very good quality containers for transporting the food. Our party guests loved the food so much that we barely had any leftovers for the next day. We will definitely eat at Chelo in the future. It is a small hidden gem in Van Nuys.“
“Tel Aviv Fish Grill is such a great spot located in Tarzana. They specialize in serving fresh and flavorful Mediterranean-style seafood and breakfast dishes. My favorites are their shakshuka and the fried fish. The atmosphere at Tel Aviv Fish Grill is casual and inviting. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure you have a great dining experience. They also have outdoor seating available. If you're a fan of Mediterranean cuisine and seafood, I highly recommend checking out Tel Aviv Fish Grill.“
“2nd time here and I let 2 years go by. I loved the rice once again it filled my stomach with love. I ordered the chicken plate and my taste buds danced on top of my tongue. The tomato was so juicy and I wish I had two of them. Onions and salad were my sides and both of them are 5/5. Down to the pita: it was tough to eat and very hard. 4.5 stars out of 5 04/15/24 Customer service: beautiful friendly people. The music inside was excellent. Clean atmosphere and highly recommend coming here.“
“Took a take out after reading their reviews and a long day at universal studios. The portion was a lot but the chicken was dry not soft and juicy unlike other Mediterranean joints.Their chicken wraps were good though.We were visiting the studios so stopped here on last day for dinner take out.“
“We had an outstanding meal in a beautiful enclosed patio setting - the branzino was prepared perfectly accompanied with great roasted vegetables and it was delcious. The shuk salad was so fresh it tasted like they had just picked the ingredients and the eggplant preparation was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to go back and highly recommend it.“

“Every time I visit LA I stop by Spitz for a Mediterranean falafel wrap and half and half fries. It is always consistent, fresh, flavorful and filling. I crave the falafel wrap when I'm back home on the East Coast but haven't found anything that compares.“
“I randomly walked in after my eyebrow appointment and was pleasantly surprised!! I placed an order for takeout for one and it took a little longer than expected. Before I could ask for an eta, they came up to me on their own and explained what happened and gave me the most amazing tea and dessert while I waited for my food. I was very surprised and thankful because I was soooo hungry after work/eyebrow appointment. Highly recommended this place to everyone! The food tasted better because of how kind and attentive the staff were!!“
“Lady Hawk is a fantastic, trendy restaurant nestled within the Kimpton La Peer hotel. Securing reservations a few weeks in advance is essential due to its high demand. Upon visiting with my friends, we were thoroughly impressed. Every aspect, from the decor to the service and ambiance, exceeded our expectations. We opted for the Mezze platter, which turned out to be larger than anticipated but incredibly satisfying. We also indulged in the za'atar man'oushe, seared halloumi, shawarma skirt steak, and half chicken--all of which were delightful. Sharing is recommended, so keep that in mind when ordering. Despite leaving with leftovers, we were eager to return for more.“
“Yummy yummy for my Tummy. Thanks to the Combo Wrap Chicken,Beef,Lamb. Super Treat to have a NYC Gyro Restaurant in Conoga Park. Super Clean place. Great Front order Staff. Next visit it's Falafel Time..Also you know the food is good when the Los Angeles Fire Department stops by for their Lunch. Salute to the Blue. ??Parking: Just Pull in.Wheelchair accessibility: It's secure.“
“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.“
“l recently visited and had an absolutely wonderful experience! let's talk about the food - it was outstanding! I tried their chicken kebab / Beef with a side of freshly grilled vegetables, and every bite was bursting with flavor. The meat was perfectly seasoned and tender, and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be returning soon!!“
“I did not have a reservation and the restaurant was really crowded on a Friday night. Yet they gave me space at the bar to enjoy the night as a solo traveller. Had a rose (brut) and some fantastic duck pasta. So so so delicious dinner and you cannot miss the panna cotta, Absolutely loved it as it wanted speed .Enjoyed the music and accompanying wine.Friendly bartenders, waiters and managers. Constantly checking on you making the environment so buzz.“
“I came in today in a full blown hunger meltdown I was welcomed and accepted by the sweetest man who pretty much held my hand through the menu and helped me pick out some things for me to scarf like an actual goblin. IM SO HAPPY I stumbled across this place. It was delicious from the wraps to the grape leaves and even the hummus!!! Thank you so much random sweet man. 10/10“
“Was in it the area for a meeting and want to eat something fresh and healthy so I found this place on yelp first impression was as if I was going to park in the gas station next-door. However, once I went in, and ordered food, everything was great. Christina and the front was amazing and helpful. Her recommendations were on point and everything was delicious. she did everything from recommending, taking our order, and propping the food. And all with a smile on her face. Will definitely come back for lunch if I'm in the area again.“
“This place is truly a hidden gem. So much flavor and the menu is full of amazing items. I've had pretty much everything on the menu by now and they are so consistent. Great service too always sweet and professional. My to die for items is the Adana kebab and the fried cheese pastry (can remember what it's called) but it's an hot appetizer and it's so freaking good you'll eat the whole damn plate by yourself. I also love that they allow you to order appetizers either full portion or half. This way you can get a ton of mini appetizers and have a feast. :) love this option me and my husband always take advantage and order a ton of appetizers“
“I love this place. I've been coming here for years and the food is so delicious. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner on my last visit and when I tell you he's a gem of a human being.... super kind and generous. It was a quiet evening and I was visiting with a friend from back east and he was so incredibly kind to us. Full of wisdom and a deep passion for people. The food is authentically prepared with so much TLC. Can't wait to go back! It's also BYOB.The terrace is warm and cozy. The traditional Persian music is wonderful as well.“

“JoJo's Lebanese take on shawarma is flavorful and delicious, with soft and lightly seasoned meat atop tasty warm rice. The chili and garlic sauces that accompany the food are fresh made too and really add zing to the meal as I alternate what to dip the various meats into. It all came with a solid hummus, warm pita bread points, and a side salad, perfectly and lightly dressed in a lemony dressing w a hint of sumac that felt healthy...While the ambiance is not much here, JoJo's is really all about the food, and the owner's care and his very warm and accommodating staff are to be commended for the fine meals, generous portions, and all around top notch service they all provide as a team.Excellent food!Food 10/10Service 10/10“
“Went for Sunday lunch. Enjoyed food and casual ambiance with relaxing instrumental music in the background. I had chicken kebab. The pieces of breast meat were surprisingly moist. A nice selection of sides. They were not that busy so service was fast. Easy to have conversations. I would return for another meal. If you are like me, I keep thinking everything is so expensive, but I've seen some TO-GO only places charge similar prices as this place, so I now have a better appreciation of the price.“

“Let's start with this is a new resturant. Located on a corner it has very limited parking behind the Resturant. The interior makes you feel like your in a garden outside If you could not see the building next door you would feel like your in the country We had excellent service and the food was very good I had two chicken kabobs on a salad it was moist. We had a pastry for dessert which was made with fresh blueberries very good.“
“Mantee is one of the best Armenian restaurants in studio city. The service is always on point and the serves have great knowledge of the menu. Some of the must haves are fried cheese, mantee, yogurt, the filet plate is to die for. If you want good Armenian food you must visit here. @“
“The food was excellent and the coffee, which can be hit or miss at any given restaurant, was fresh and a good medium to dark roast. There isn't anything special about the building or decor, but I actually liked that it wasn't gimmicky. The tables are all 4-seaters but can be moved to accommodate larger parties - ours was a group of 6 and we didn't have to wait to be seated despite it being a somewhat busy Saturday morning. The wait staff was fast and not too chatty, which I liked, but they also didn't check on us at all so we did have to flag someone down whenever we needed refills. I would absolutely eat there again.Parking: The parking lot was full so we had to park on the street. There are multiple other businesses sharing the same parking lot, so that was a contributing factor.“
“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.“
“As I renovated my kitchen, my husband and I are eating out more. Last night was our first visit to Continental Kitchen and we were very impressed.So many great meals for those like me who are looking for healthier fare. There is also an array of decadent deserts. Something for everyone.One of my favorite aspects of this place is the friendly and capable staff. They made us feel like family on our first viait. We'll be back real soon!“
“First of all I'd like to start with, I am a huge fan. Looks like a family owned business, small and cozy just the way I like it. You could smell the charcoal as soon as you exit your vehicle. I ordered the beef shish kabob plate and the grilled eggplant salad as a side. I have had kabob so many times in my life, at some point you can't really tell if it's Persian, Lebanese, Armenian because the flavors are pretty similar. Here, there was no confusion or questions. The flavors of Armenian cuisine are very pronounced. I loved it. The beef shish was juicy, flavorful, cooked to perfection. It didn't have any beef smell or aftertaste. I have to be very careful where I eat and 99% of the time I have kabob taste in my mouth for hours. Not after eating here. Even left overs microwaved next day tasted great. The portions are perfect and so is the price. They even had home made lecho. (If you know, you know). Everything was perfect and I can go on and on. Definitely recommend and definitely will be coming back.“
“I love this spot the owner has great Persian food , the kinda flavor that is so different then the rest of the Persian res in the area, I swear the owner is this older nice men the place has home made food smells so good !He makes the best horash sabzi it’s the green herbs stow it comes with a side of rice and it’s really delicious!My friend loves kabobs so he orders that and says it’s very good !All the locals of the area eat here :)So in case you are in the Woodland Hills neighborhood I recommend grabbing lunch at this placeI enjoy every time I come here it reminds meof my moms food , so thank you for this“
“It was lunch and I was hungry I stopped a new spot to me ! I love trying new places ! It was worth itI went with the hot wings just was in the mood it’s priced well but wow it was amazing the hot wings had the correct amount of sauce fresh chicken excellent dipping ranch“
“I visited Antonio's today to cater for my mom's party, as she had a craving for Mediterranean cuisine. Despite it being Super Bowl Sunday and the restaurant bustling with activity, the staff graciously guided me through the catering menu. They even went above and beyond to accommodate a last-minute order, with the cook agreeing enthusiastically. Despite the rush, they ensured my order was delivered promptly. The food, as always, was superb, leaving everyone thoroughly satisfied. I opted for the special for 10 people and added an additional 10 skewers for an extra $50. A big thank you to the entire team at Antonio's for their exceptional service and delicious food.“
“I must say, it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The food was exceptional, with each dish bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff who were knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations. The atmosphere was inviting and cozy, perfect for a relaxed evening out. Overall, I highly recommend Pi for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.“

“Shirin restaurant has become my go-to spot, with regular dine-ins twice a month and takeout once a week. Their portion sizes are generous, the customer service is top-notch, and what’s even better is the reasonable pricing. It’s a winning combination that keeps me coming back for more. Special shoutout to Arash, our host, who is always welcoming and kind.“
“Consistently delicious food. The service can be either great or lacking depending on how busy they are, but they always do their best. Even when they’re busy, it’s a great experience if you have patience. The live music on the weekends makes for a great atmosphere also.“
“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.“
“Let me just say that after having simit in Constantinople / Istanbul and then trying it here at Royal Pastry, definitely I vote for Royal. GREAT JOB guys.Croissant was exquisite, light and airy, full of butter flavor, and each layer was evenly cooked.I'm yet try their cakes, that's for next time.I recommend ? wholeheartedly!I did notice some of the low-star reviews that point to pricing and lack of price tags. As you may see in my photos all items have tags, perhaps this is after-effect; nevertheless it tells me they listen to what customers want. Maybe let's tell businesses how to improve on spot rather than posting.I can say that prices rose everywhere and not just in bakeries“
“This review is definitely way over due!!!The consistency in the food is just stellar!Every time I come (4th time ) The food is fresh and super tasty .The boneless chicken is so fresh and cooked to perfectionNot overly dry but just the perfect juicy tenderness!!The rice is so yummy too.. But my fav is the hummus by far!!Also the staff is always super friendly and nice!!“
