“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!?)“
“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.“
“I had the #4 meal which includes buttery basmati rice, grilled tomato and chile, cucumber salad and chicken kebab. I also had a mint flavored yogurt drink. The food is fresh and tasty. The kebab was delicious as was the hummus which was very creamy. There are two tables inside the store which is really more of a meat store than a restaurant in some ways. There are all kinds of Mediterranean food items in the store. Ample parking available.“
“I’ve had a great experience here every time I’ve visited. Amazing food, chill vibes, generally good prices. I’m quite stuck on the Armenian cold brew they have as well. Also a decent place to have wine with a friend if you’re into that sort of thing. The lentil soup & everything on the menu is so fresh & tasty!“
“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.“
“This is an absolutely no frills restaurant with about 5 items on the menu, but they do them well. The monta (aka manti, mante) is the star of the show. Unlike other places that take a shortcut by using wonton skins, this place makes the dough from scratch and it really makes a difference. In addition to the baked monta, they also do a soup version in either tomato or yogurt. Their sou boereg ( Armenian cheese lasagna) is good also. All monta is cooked to order, so it does take a few minutes for your order to be ready, but it's totally worth the wait. Have an appetizer while waiting. You can also visit their sister restaurant in Pasadena, though it's tiny with only two tables on the sidewalk.P.S. I read some reviews saying that monta is supposed to be made with phyllo dough. Uh, no. I helped my mom and grandma make monta from scratch and they use the same dough you'll find here. And I was born in Lebanon, my grandmother was a Genocide survivor. So they know how to make it.“
“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! ????“
“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.“
“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.“
“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“
“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!!“
“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.“
“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.“
“My Bookclub had a Wonderful meeting & and delicious meal at this lovely Family owned restaurant.There were 12 of Us Ladies & we were treated So Well! Our Server Lily was Efficient, Friendly & Helpful!Our Food came out Timely & Hot! Mmm!We All Loved the Hummus, Eggplant, & Cucumber dip w/pita to start. Oh, the Grape leaves were the Best I ever had! Yum!My Cornish he Kabob was so tender & flavorful! Our entire group were full & satisfied.I even ordered both the Lamb & Beef kabob dinners to take home. And of course more Hummus & cucumber dip.I feel the prices were reasonable & the service impeccable!“
“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.“
“Been coming here since I was a little girl. My dad would drive all the way from San Diego to pick up the amazing food for us. It's been years since we've headed up to this area, but today we returned and the food hasn't changed one bit! Everything was delicious, fresh, and made with love!!! The staff (the owners) were so kind and helpful! Can't wait for my next trip!!!!“
“The food was amazing, we got the beef and chicken lule kabobs, both were phenomenal. This place was spotless, the staff was friendly and extremely accommodating. I had a last minute change to my order and they made the change no problem. We brought two noisy and messy babys with us and they were great with the babies! They gave us complementary lentil soup too! Extraordinarily kind, great service and delicious food!!!“
“If you want a true home cooked experience, you have to go to Caravan. I started coming here a year ago and now it is my go to for a hearty meal with my family and of course delightful conversations with the owners and staff. You will walk in there a customer but leave as a member of their family. Always remember to support mom/pop business!!!!“
“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!!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“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“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at **Best Shawarma**, and I must say, it was an experience that left a lasting impression.The star of the show was undoubtedly the **combo plate**. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, perfectly balanced and incredibly delicious. The succulent meat, the fresh salad, and the tangy sauces all came together in a delightful medley that was both satisfying and memorable.What struck me as exceptional was the **presentation of the food**. It was as if the plate was a canvas, and the chef, an artist. The food looked exactly like the photos, a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality and consistency.But what truly sets Best Shawarma apart is their **customer service**. The staff was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant dining experience. Their dedication to customer satisfaction is evident and greatly appreciated.In conclusion, Best Shawarma offers not just a meal, but a culinary journey. With its delicious food, beautiful presentation, and excellent customer service, it's a place I highly recommend. If you're in the mood for a flavorful feast, Best Shawarma should be at the top of your list.****“

“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.“
“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. @“
“Very friendly staff, this is my 1st time at the location and the staff guide me step by step, describe each and every item of the menu, finally I got a chicken bowl, my food was fresh and a good amount but I think it’s a bit of pricey! I got a protein bowl almost $19 which is basically a salad bowl with hummus spread.Parking: Behind the building you can find the parking garage, but have to walk a bit.if you get like maybe you can find a street parking but still have to walk.“
“I ordered a falafel wrap with standard toppings and it was delicious!! I would add a little extra yogurt sauce next time but it wasn’t dry by any means. Also, the cilantro/jalapeño sauce is killer. I found myself on their website dreaming of my next order…!Vegetarian options: Falafel, hummus and lots of grains and salads to choose from.“
“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.“
“Fantastic shawarma with a rich flavor! Visited this place and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the shawarma. Every ingredient was fresh and crispy, and the blend of spices simply captivated my taste. Will definitely come back here again!“
“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“
“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 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.“
“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“
“I had an absolutely fantastic experience at this meat shop! The service was top-notch, and the flavors were simply mouthwatering. Patrick went above and beyond to accommodate my changing order, demonstrating professionalism and kindness throughout. His exceptional service truly sets this establishment apart from any other meat shop I've visited. I highly recommend this place to anyone in search of delicious meats and outstanding customer service.Keep up the excellent work, Patrick!“
“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.“
“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!!“
“Came here after work and this place is a little hidden gem! It's located in a small strip mall with random shops next to it, so it's very unassuming. I came in and was greeted by the staff. They quickly took my order for takeout and was told it would be about 20 mins. Food was ready by the time I came back and it smelled amazing. I got the mixed lule kebab plate and it had a beef and chicken lule over rice. Sides of salad, hummus, , pita bread, and veggies (separate in a bag). Flavor was on point, however the lule was slightly on the drier side but not terrible. For the price, it hit the spot. It was a huge portion and I ended up having a small portion of leftovers the next day. Not sure how it compares to other Mediterranean restaurants in the area, but it wasn't bad.“
“I’m from Saudi Arabia ?? and I know the Mediterranean food very well. Believe me this is the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever eaten in United States ??. Thank you Alex for the good service and the smile, you’re the best GL for u man!“
“This place is amazing!! I get my car done next door and come here for the yummiest food and best hospitality I've had in LA! Don't just take my word for it... my son keeps asking when I need to get my car fixed again so he can come back here!!!“
“As always, what a beautiful venue. The food was great and the service excellent as always. Good for them, the place was packed so it was a bit louder than usual but not bad compared to many restaurants where you can't even hear others at your table. Wonderful experience. Our dog loved it as well.“
“The best we go there every other week..Monday meloukhiyya.( tgey have daily menus).the best..Wednesday okra..waw. the chicken falafel.

“The food is very delicious- we order from here on UberEats quite often! Their portions are generous too. My only suggestion, I wish the stews were less greasy. We could order more often then ;) I see my cholesterol levels raise if I were to eat such level of grease and oil more often.“
“The menu at Halal House is a testament to diversity and quality, offering a fusion of flavors that blend traditional halal cuisine with contemporary twists. Among the standout offerings is the Gyro burger, a mouthwatering creation that perfectly balances tender gyro meat and a beef pattie and creamy tzatziki sauce, all nestled between soft brioche buns. Each bite is a symphony of textures and tastes, leaving diners craving for more. The service at Halal House is impeccable. The staff members are knowledgeable, attentive, and always ready to offer recommendations or accommodate special requests, ensuring that every visit is a delightful experience from start to finish. Halal House exceeds expectations on every front. With its delectable Gyro burger, enticing mixed plates, and irresistible sides, this restaurant is a true gem that deserves to be savored time and time again!!!! PULL UP“
“My first experience at Vale Lounge was a great time. The inside and the patio are both very beautiful and very clean. All of the staff was very nice, welcoming, and attentive. We got the watermelon chill hookah mix and it tasted great! Our coals were refreshed often and we really enjoyed it. We also got hot tea which tasted delicious and the tea cups were super nice! We got cheesecake for desert that we both enjoyed. I am so glad I found this gem and will definitely be visiting more frequently! Sofia and Jordan were great!“
“Place has a total revamp and upgraded feel to it. You can tell the guys that run it care. Makes good food and good vibe, great area they cook outside sometimes and it smells great ? try it out, really got that Local Burbank feel Traditional food with Eastern Flavor and care.“
“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.“
