“Combination of new management and new ownership makes it very well and highly recommended. Because of my excellent experience of the Brentwood location, just wanted to see, how is the new location. I'm glad, i had a chance to get another excellent experience one more time here in Beverly ����“

“Great food and cocktails!! 🍸“

“Koobideh meal is delicious just how I cook at home. Tahchin has cardamom in it which I'm not used to, but it is still good. The ghormeh sabzi is good but lacking some lemon flavor for me. Ask for extra Omani lemon/lime to squeeze into the stew. House doogh was very good. Owner Reza is very nice and friendly. Overall a good experience. No restroom on premesis.“

“Incredible food and service. Our waiters name was Christian; he was personable, kind, and hospitable. The food was mouthwatering and had such unique flavors. HUGE portions and definitely comfort food as they state. Will definitely be returning to check out the new menu each month.“

“Very good food Fresh and healthy Owner is always there With a nice smile !“

“Highly highly recommend. Awesome food. Great owner. Great servers. Best babaganoush ever!“

“my boyfriend and I came here for the first time and LOVED IT! I’m middle eastern and was drooooooling over the wagyu shawarma. I was on the fence about getting the hummus side and ultimately decided against it bc I wasn’t sure how much food I wanted - but then 5 minutes later the lovely man working ( I didn’t get his name but he had tunnels ) very very kindly brought out a small side of hummus for us to try and it was bomb! the fries also fantastic and only $5! i’m pretty sure they make the ketchup because it was delicious. next time i’ll be getting the full side of hummus and adding a side of hot sauce. one of my new favorite spots“

“Reasonably priced and delicious food!“

“The best Yemeni restaurant in USA I believe. Has the taste and smile of authentic Yemeni dishes. I highly recommend to any one visiting LA ..“

“Really awesome place to get a shawarma. Big portion, quality ingredients, just very tasty overall. Highly recommend it!!!“

“Went in for some take out and service was friendly, warm, and efficient. I ordered the lemon garlic chicken and it was amazing. So tender, so flavorful, and great portions. I tried different sides and I enjoyed every single one. I have recommended to friends and family who'd love a delicious, flavorful meal with excellent service.“

“Definitely a 5 star rating, if i could i would mark 10 stars. Stopped by had some Piroshki:)) was cooked to order, OMG better than back home and have to say that. Clean fresh and crispy. We went to try and ended up eating more that planned !“

“Delicious! Really interesting and tasty food.“

“I came to Orla by Michael Mina for my 21st birthday celebration and had the best time! Our waiter was so sweet and very attentive. We started with drinks and the whipped chickpea hummus. Then, I had the best salmon ever. Finally, we ended with two amazing desserts. The restaurant is beauitful and conveniently located. I’ll definitely be coming back if I ever find myself in Santa Monica again!“

“Amazing and well seasoned food. Comes out piping hot. It’s a small-to-medium sized restaurant with fast turnover. We had the luleh kobab and lamb kobab, which were both delicious. The bread is fresh and homemade.

The servers work extremely hard, but because of volume are not extremely attentive to any one table. They will take your order fast, but you have to have patience to get the bill.“

“This is the best Mediterranean/Lebanese food in LA. I have not tried a better falafel anywhere in the world yet... Definitely 10 stars!!“

“I went there yesterday for the first time. I got the lamb shawarma plate, and it was wonderful. I will be returning. It may seem a little pricey, but the quality of the food and the generous portions is well worth it.“

“A++++++++++++++++++++++++“

“Great Chicken 🐔 Kabob plate.“

“Very impressed with Javan! Service was so helpful and friendly, especially our server Victor. The food was outstanding and so fresh. The combination of flavors in the Alex salad was absolutely outstanding. Our vegetarian Koobideh was delicious. The hummus and babaganoush were perfect. Thank you - we will be back!“

“Came to Carousel with a party of 9. Our table was waiting on arrival and the staff was fantastic especially given our time constraints. We let them know we had to be out the door in 90 minutes for a show and they ensured we were fed a feast with time to spare. We did the family style - Hollywood Feast which was a lot of fun. The Hollywood Feast will leave you with days of leftovers which we are now enjoying. Would recommend family style for large groups. All the food was great, everyone agreed the chicken stood out as superb, very juicy and tender. Definitely coming back.“

“I’ve gone to Rafo’s so many times and haven’t left a review. The chicken thigh sandwich is always so fresh, easy, and juicy. The chicken?! I’ve gotten it at least 5 times now. I had the chicken and beef lule plate once as well and the lule was also super tasty.“

“Overall I will give this place a 4 starts. The concept is great and I’m sure it was initially running super great. Right now it feels like is missing more attention, service was ok, not rude just ok, food was good, not necessarily the greatest but I think a 4 starts is well deserved.“

“Everything was delish!! No doubts, all of it was fabulous!!“

“The breakfast / brunch menu has a good concept and good options. The merguez sandwich was good, but too oily. The fries were done well but too salty.

I wish they cooked the food with less oil and salt. Maybe I'll request that if I stop by to eat there again.“

“This is the first iranian restaurant ive been to that doesnt serve kabob. Its so unique, and all their dishes taste so so so good. Its like traditional home-styled dishes. Amazing. They have some modern twists to some stuff like the appetizers. And they have sekanjebin, I loved it (an apple cider vinegar drink - kinda like poppy but better lol). Im going back forsure. P.S. the ambiance is nice with the old-school iranian decorations and plants. The lamb gheimeh is to die for.“

“Have gotten takeout from here a number of times. Never disappointed. Flavorful chicken that's nice and tender, ingredients always seem fresh.
All of the sauces are very tasty and they are very generous with them. The chicken plate and The Get Greeky bowl are, so far, my favorites. Pricing is fair compared to some other places.
Staff is friendly and attentive.“

“Excellent Lebanese restaurant! The food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was attentive, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. Highly recommend for anyone craving genuine Lebanese cuisine!“

“The best hummus I have had! Smooth and delicious. Tried chicken and lulleh kabob and seasoned perfectly. I loved their Mouhamara which is the red walnut pepper dip. The yogurt was light but still perfectly rich. I’m returning with bunch of family coming week. Oh, the amazing rice… I love this place. Good work to the owner and team!“

“Great experience. Staff was very friendly and I got my take out meal from the time I ordered to the time it was in my hand in <10 min. Food was so good! We got the Meze Plate and shared it between 2 people - Should have gotten 2 orders. Will be back!“

“We just had dinner here for the first time, and the food was absolutely amazing! We were warmly greeted by Vanessa, who was incredibly kind and welcoming.

We ordered the Branzino and the Chicken Combo Plate, and everything was delicious. We also tried the hummus, strawberry mojito, and baklava—each dish was full of fresh, vibrant flavors.

Thank you for the excellent food and outstanding service. Our entire experience was wonderful from start to finish.

May God shower this restaurant with blessings, prosperity, and continued success. We will definitely be back!“

“After waiting a long time while they did renovations they are open again and the food and service are excellent! I love what they did to the place.

The filet mignon was grilled perfectly and was so tender I was able to do cuts using a butter knife. The beet hummus was unique and flavorful. The eggplant was not overpowering and was also a nice dip for the filet. The complimentary bread is handmade and I could eat 10 of them. Highly recommended restaurant. I'm gonna come back lots. :)“

“There are restaurants where you simply eat, and then there are restaurants that make you appreciate how much care, tradition, and passion can be expressed through food. Hummus Bar & Grill is definitely one of the latter.

From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted by an atmosphere that felt warm, inviting, and genuinely welcoming. There is something special about a place that instantly makes you feel comfortable, and Hummus Bar & Grill has mastered that feeling. Whether you're visiting for a quick lunch, a family gathering, or a relaxed dinner with friends, the restaurant creates an environment where guests can truly enjoy themselves.

The first thing that stood out was the incredible freshness of everything served. Every ingredient tasted vibrant and carefully selected, from the crisp vegetables to the perfectly seasoned meats and, of course, the hummus itself. It's clear that quality is not just a goal here—it's a standard that guides every dish coming out of the kitchen.

The hummus deserves special recognition. Smooth, rich, and packed with flavor, it was easily among the best I have ever tasted. It had the perfect texture and balance, making it impossible to stop dipping just one more piece of pita. What impressed me most was how something seemingly simple could be elevated into something truly memorable through attention to detail and expert preparation.

The grilled dishes were equally outstanding. Every bite reflected careful seasoning, excellent cooking techniques, and a deep understanding of Mediterranean flavors. The portions were generous without sacrificing quality, making the entire meal feel both satisfying and thoughtfully prepared.

One aspect that truly sets Hummus Bar & Grill apart is its ability to create a dining experience that feels both authentic and modern. The menu honors traditional flavors while presenting them in a way that appeals to both longtime fans of Mediterranean cuisine and those discovering it for the first time. It’s a balance that is difficult to achieve, yet this restaurant does it effortlessly.

The service was another highlight of the evening. The staff was attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about ensuring guests have a great experience. Their recommendations were thoughtful, their knowledge of the menu was impressive, and their positive attitude added an extra layer of enjoyment to the meal. Hospitality like this cannot be taught—it comes from people who truly care about what they do.

What I appreciated most was the overall feeling of authenticity. Nothing felt rushed, artificial, or overly commercial. Instead, there was a sense of pride behind every detail, from the food and presentation to the service and atmosphere. That authenticity creates a memorable experience that stays with you long after the meal is over.

In a world filled with countless dining options, Hummus Bar & Grill stands out because it focuses on what truly matters: exceptional food, genuine hospitality, and a welcoming environment where people can come together and enjoy great flavors.

By the end of the evening, I wasn't just impressed by the quality of the meal—I was impressed by the entire experience. Hummus Bar & Grill is the kind of place that turns first-time visitors into loyal guests. It offers the perfect combination of comfort, quality, and authenticity that keeps people coming back again and again.

A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for their dedication and passion. This restaurant is a true gem, and I look forward to returning many more times in the future. Highly recommended to anyone who appreciates outstanding food, warm hospitality, and a dining experience that exceeds expectations in every way.“

“Hello: With my apology to the owner and staff of Darya Restaurant in Santa Monica I wrote a bad review about 12 days ago. It was my misunderstanding to write a bad review. In fact, It is a good restaurant (5 Star) with excellent, well made, good ambiance, and delicious food and a vast array of dishes on the menu. I must say that their portions are generous in comparison to prices. I ask people to give them a try at least once and see for themselves. I think they are going to be hooked. All branches are good and the Orange county branch has a great ambiance! Thank you Ms. Darya and your staff for your efforts. I will see you again, indeed. Wish you all the best to come!

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Cafe Elegante in Burbank is truly a hidden gem and one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with warm hospitality and outstanding customer service that made me feel right at home.

The food was absolutely incredible. The chicken dishes were perfectly seasoned, tender, juicy, and packed with flavor in every bite. The beef was equally impressive—cooked to perfection, rich, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. You can genuinely tell that great care and attention go into every dish that comes out of the kitchen.

What really stood out were the mouthwatering appetizers. Every appetizer we ordered was fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. They were the perfect way to start the meal and left us excited for the main courses. Each bite showcased the quality ingredients and passion that Cafe Elegante puts into its menu.

The atmosphere was welcoming, clean, and comfortable, making it a wonderful place to enjoy a meal with family and friends. Between the exceptional food, generous portions, and attentive service, Cafe Elegante exceeded all expectations.

If you're looking for delicious chicken, flavorful beef dishes, unforgettable appetizers, and a dining experience that leaves you smiling, Cafe Elegante in Burbank is a must-visit. I cannot wait to return and try more of their amazing menu!“

“This is probably my best middle east restaurant in Los Angeles. Today I prefer to eat boiled lamb with rice . I checked near me i found Yemen Kitchen. I placed an order lamb khabsa togo and some boiled vegetables and fried chicken. Food was really cooked well and delicious. I would like to eat there . They have a good taste in their foods .“

“What a blessing it was to stop by here. What started as just a day to look for dresses, we were amazed to find this place!

Not only was the food absolutely delicious! But the owner welcomed us with open arms. Everything fresh, and made with love.

Coming from San Diego, it was a treat to be feel like we were “home”. You all have to try this beautiful business! You will savor each and every bite.

God bless you guys <3“
