They gave me a generous amount & a discount because the falafel was not ready at the time I ordered. This made my day! Thank you so much for being so kind to my kid and I :)“

“Never had batter beef Showerma in usa thumbs up for ABU KABAB I highly recommend it you must try“

“Food drooling good. Just amazing. Service is okay atmosphere is also just okay. For what the restuant is the food is surprisingly good. Easily one of the best resturants I've been to locally. Pointing more expensive than your average food but definitely worth the price. Food quality is amazing and whatever they do in there has to be magic. Absolutely delicious. Banger everytime“

“Food is delicious great staff“

“Hands down some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever had! I ordered the beef lulu and filet mignon plate. The filet mignon was more tender than I’ve had at $100 streakhouses and the beef lulu was seasoned to perfection. Everything from the tomato and cucumber salad to the hummus was extremely fresh!

On top of that, the lady who works the counter is extremely friendly and made sure I felt at home even though I showed up near closing time.

I’ve found my new go-to Mediterranean spot.“

“Pita nachos are awesome! Many different flavors of Hummus!“

“The food was great!! and good company.“

“The food is amazing! You can’t be the quality of the ingredients.“

“Good food and excellent service!“

“I've been coming to the spot for probably over 10 years and the experience overall has been solid. The owners are always really polite, the food is put together ridiculously fast, and the flavors are pretty familiar and flavorful as you would expect from Mediterranean food. I will say, that perhaps there's a little bit of shrinkflation because most restaurants, the portions just seem a little smaller. I think for this cafe, everything is pretty much the same with high quality hummus, tasty rice, fresh salad, but I think the meat portions are a little smaller than I remember a year ago. Also, this round, my lamb skewers were a bit overcooked and on the dry side. But, perhaps this is just an anomaly for this visit. I'm going to try again probably this month!“

“Great place, delicious food 😋. Worth the drive 👍“

“I wanted to thank George, the owner, for always being super friendly and attentive every time I come in. The food is amazing, healthy, and always fresh. I eat here probably twice a week, and my go-to is the beef and chicken combo! It’s high in protein and great tasting. Definitely one of my favorite spots. Highly recommend!“

“My friend and I visited zankou
first time. When we walked in Lucy greeted us with a big smile She was so friendly. We tried the quarter white chicken and a tarna wrap. The food tasted delicious and love the garlic.

“I ordered takeout and was happily surprised! I got the chicken shawarma wrap and it was delicious! It did take about 25 minutes for my order, so plan ahead and order online through their website. The ladies working were very kind and attentive. Will be back to try more of their dishes!“

“Excellent food (and service) at good prices. Dinner plates are hearty with plenty of food to split in half. Thank you!“

“Its my wife's birthday so we wanted something GOOD and memorable. Went to Nancy's for dinner and it was so good! Horiatiki, humus and barbecued shrimp. Pita, fresh. Humus tasty. Horiatiki delicious. Shrimp perfectly cooked and delicious. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES - chains are fine, but local eats means the money stays in the community.“

“My family and I frequent a lot of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern restaurants, whether it's a sit down restaurant or takeout--and Sahara might just be the best we've ever had!

We heard good things about Sahara and decided to check it out yesterday; and it exceeded expectations.

I had the beef kebab plate, while my mom and brother had the chicken kebab plate. We loved how they had complimentary snacks (olives, cheese, and cucumber) and also that the plate came with either soup or salad. The meat dishes were so flavorful and honestly the best we've had at any restaurant. They gave a lot of meat too; 8 pieces for each dish. The baba ghanoush was also great.

Last but not least, Mary, our server, was extremely pleasant and attentive. We can't wait to go back!“

“My first time at CAVA…the food was so fresh and delicious! We will definitely go back!“

“The food es excelente!! My first time buying there, definitely worth it!!“

“only downside is the parking, you have to engage on a busy Pasadena Street possibly even walk some steps over there but it is more than worth it! Fresh and delicious scrumptious food, where the owners really really really take pride in and care about what they are providing to others. check out their menu, dont miss this gem.“

“Had their eggs Benedict, it was OK.
Their iced Chai tased mostly like cinnamon water.
Their almond croissant was decent.
All that with tip was $60 for breakfast.
I can think of MANY places where I could have had better breakfast food for that price.
Waitress and hostesses were on point with great service, so at least there’s that.“

“my favorite marinade and cucumber salad. like Pico de galli but with cucumber🤌“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😍😍😍😍😍 every meal is made fresh. Hands down a favorite“

“Excellent food with the cutest decor ❤️❤️❤️ not ganna lie, I first saw the store and thought I’m ganna go in and get some lemon ice cream of some sorts 🤣 and then I go inside and was like what’s this place?🤣I we end up getting a gyro and some fries, very yummy!“

“I love this place....all their dishes are delicious....if you haven't tried it....please do....there's never a day that the lines are out the door....speaks volumes!!!! The owner is a wonderful man....George is his name. So next time you see him call him by his name and you'll see for yourself.... :-)“

“I just got a bowl at the new spot by USC. Juicy chicken, nice fluffy rice, The chipotle sauces are tasty and service was fast. I'll get another bowl for sure.“

“Really fresh, healthy food and a very friendly staff.“

“Great food. Great customer service“

“Wonderful place to celebrates Valentine’s Day“

“Phone in your order to speed up the wait. I usually get the garlic chicken panini. It's so so so very good. Keep in mind the limited hours. I wish they were open for dinner. It's also one of the few places you can still get a copy of the Pasadena Weekly.

Parking: If you don't see a spot to park in front, just park in the back. You enter the parking lot on the west side of the building. There's always an empty parking spot in back, but not as shaded.“

“Great experience eating here chicken is delicious“

“Wonderful customer service! Friendly employees! I will definitely return.“

“Awesome!! The Blackened Salmon Kabobs have me LIFE!“

“the service treatment & hospitality“

“The staff was really nice and the food was fantastic! Looking forward to going again.“

“It was my first time here, the place looked clean. The young lady at the register was super friendly and courteous. I ordered the lamb chop plate as well as the chicken Kabob plate. The lamb chops were very tasty and tender. The ONLY thing was that the rice and lamb chops were very salty. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish my food, it was just too much salt. I'm willing to give this place a second chance only because I love lamb and they are close to me. The pros outweigh the cons and hopefully next time it won't be salty. Will keep you posted“
