What happened to Crimson? When we first discovered it about a year ago, it was fantastic! Best wrap around. We always order the filet mignon wrap. It used to be full of meat, humus, cucumbers, etc. But in our last 3 orders from the Santa Monica location over the past 2 months, there is half the amount of meat, barely any humus and cucumbers, and lots and lots of lettuce. We're bummed but will go back to ordering from elsewhere. We have called the restaurant a few times to tell them, and the first time they said it wasn't their location (Grubhub said it was), and the second time when they delivered the wrong sides and didn't follow our directions to put the sauces on the side - they didn't give us any sauces, they said to call Grubhub and didn't seem to care. Oh well. Maybe they have new employees? Maybe they want to save money and use less meat and more lettuce? Who knows, but they have lost a few devoted customers.

I am a long time customer and my office has used them to help cater in-office meetings or gatherings. The food is very good. I do take issue and all customers should be aware that when you order food they have set up their website to default to adding a tip on a online pick up order. That is not cool. I don't mind leaving tips, but when you click purchase a tip should not automatically be added, that's poor form.

Super raw chicken in the chicken wrap :/ unfortunately we didn’t realize it until we got home, so check your meat before you leave if you’re picking up! Im surprised they didn’t catch it when they cut the wrap in half. They offered to either refund or remake it. We needed dinner so we went back to pick it up but it took awhile because they were busy. Other than that the food is good so I’d recommend it but be wary of raw meat.

We ate at their Ocean Park location once few years ago and decided to give it a try when we walked by the other day. The kebabs were nice but everything else was disappointing, even for a fast food joint ...stale rice, forgettable dips and inedible shirazi salad.

Went today for lunch, paid about $23 for a filet mignon with rice and fries... I only had 1 piece of beef and packed it up.Flavorless rice, beef seemed fake... total waste of money, not Mediterranean at all.. save your self the trip, the only really good thing was the fries

Always well-made. Quality of the produce is good and they move fast in the kitchen.Portions are generous. Service at the counter is also good.Wish they would offer grilled vegetables at this location too.

The food is wonderful. The service provided by all the staff is very kind and efficient. I highly recommend the Chicken Kabob Plate! Simply splendid.
Great service, great food, I come here every other night for their coffee and hummus, it's my fav combo I come at night because the crew at night is AMAZING

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The service was exceptionally polite, and the staff went out of their way to ensure our meal was enjoyable. I was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable prices, especially considering the high quality of the food. Every dish we ordered was delicious and made with evident care. Overall, a wonderful dining experience that I would highly recommend.

Unpretentious, focussed & young team, paying attention to good food, respectable prices (they could charge more in this area), and guest happiness. Mediterranean focus in terms of food.only point of contention would be that the interior of the location (and thus the atmosphere) seems a little clinical. I'll be back for sure
