Love this tiny hole in the wall . Mom and pops vibe . Amazing sandwiches . I can tell it's hand shredded to great detail . Perfect ration of garlic sauce , pickles and tomatoes . I called in my order shortly before copse . I get a call from a lady asking if I was coming before close . I was like hell ya . Like I would leave this sandwich to waste lmao . Walked in 5 min before close . Told the husband i am here for my late lunch . He explained to me the reason she wanted to know if I was coming was they pick up their kid after close . Say less . I left a tip as anyone should at a place like this . The man tells me to grab a drink . I'm like wow I feel the love in this place !!! Definitely coming back every chance I get and going to do my best to bring my dad

One of the best sandwiches you can get your hands on in the region. Would definitely try their garlic chicken sandwich and sujukh sandwich.

Walked in on a whim and the owner greeted us with a warm welcome. We got the soujuk sandwich and the chicken sandwich and both were fresh and absolutely delicious. Will definitely be coming here for sandwiches from now on.
The falafel sandwich is now made from powder not from fresh ingredients. The price went from $5.99 to about $8.99. .

Just like the other reviews, I'm a big fan. I've only gotten the sandwiches, all excellent, garlic chicken is my favorite with extra garlic. I pickup here at least once a week, definitely highly

Torino sandwich's just provided us with the best felafel sandwich we've had in years from anywhere in the world we've traveled! And there garlic chicken and fries are not to be missed at all don't be fooled by what looks like simple foods the flavors are deeply complex and deliciously inviting to come back for again and again!

Delicious beef sausage sandwich.The guy working there super nice gage me a free raisin drink. Quick, cheap and delish
I tried this place for the first time today and I plan on going back very soon. The Garlic Chicken sandwich is absolutely delicious and a deal at $9. I took it home to eat and it kept very well, through the journey also. I even ate the second half a couple of hours later and yes—still insanely delicious.

My friend and I went there for the first time at lunch today. It's a small momma/poppa shop, which has been there for decades. I am really shocked that this place has a 4.7 average review. I guess these reviewers never had good middle eastern food or the reviews were left many years ago, when the restaurant must have been better. It's also quite possible they were having a bad day or we just ordered the wrong things ? We had a Restaurant.com discount voucher that they did not accept; even though the coupon says clearly "Does not expire". The area is not bad; just a few blocks to the west there are lots of restaurants and places to walk. The restaurant itself is rundown. The cover picture on yelp must have been from many years ago. Also half of the items on the menu they were out of. My friend asked for Lule Kebab plate (which was listed on their board menu) and she had to go in the back and check if they had any. It wasn't like they were busy with so many lunch orders that they simply ran out. We were the only ones at the restaurant from 11:30 to 12:45. I guess the word must be out that this is not the best place to eat in that area. I ordered the Falafel plate and my friend ordered the Lule Kebab plate. OMG, it took 40 minutes to get our food. My friend made a joke - that they must be marinating his lule kebab. The plates came with rice, pita bread, homus, and a small Greek salad. I liked the Greek salad and the homus; the rice was okay; the falafels tasted stale. It might have been old oil they were frying them in ? My friend thought the Greek salad lacked flavor and everything else was average, including his Lule Kebab a bit too salty. Total bill was $50 something + tip, which included a yogurt drink and small Pellegrino for each of us. So here is my detailed rating:Area: BAmbience: CService: BFood Freshness and Taste: C-How well the restaurant is being run: (Not having half the items off their board menu and time it took to get food): DPrice/Value COverall: CWill not be returning.

It was my friend and I first time at Torinos and i'm glad we stopped by for lunch!! It's a hidden gem in Pasadena run by a family business. The place is small and simple old school restaurant but a mediterranean version of a diner. The service was amazing and quick - super friendly. Wasn't feeling a sandwich so I got the mix lamb/beef platter because they didn't have chicken. Let me tell you this is one of the best gyro plate I have had in Pasadena. The meat was freshly cooked it was thinly sliced and juicy just mouthwatering and flavorful. It came with the thin sliced of meat with fries, some sliced simple pickles to nimble on, yogurt, and covered on top with pita bread. They also provided another small box of fresh Greek feta salad. The quality was everything and so tasty!! Will be back for the platter again !!

Late always never listen customer needs and after waiting 25 minutes we received zero quality!
