“Absolutely love the food here. My girlfriend & I frequent this place anytime we're near the area. My team and I always go here after an event. Lady at the register is not very personable and looks very unhappy to be working there, lol, but that is the only negative thing I have to say. Other than that, place is always clean, and food is always amazing.“
“I'm so sad that this place is so far because this place is so good! My husband and I ordered the Saucy Butter Chicken Wings, Paneer Masala Fries, Kahmiri Alla Pasta, Spiced Lamb, and Curry Fun (Chana Masala and Chicken Tikka Masala). Our favorites were the wings, fries, and pasta! Must orders. We also had the Mango Lassi and the Pink Punjabi. We both preferred the Mango Lassi. The Pink Punjabi tasted like milky sprite with a hint of rose. For dessert, we finished with the Rose Doughnuts because the Halwa Ice Cream Sandwich wasn't ready. I think I would've preferred the ice cream sandwich because the doughnuts were way too sweet for me. It is a little pricey than what I'm used to - since I live closer to Little India in Artesia. But it's the pricing for the area its in to be honest. Love that this spot is halal and vegan/gluten-free friendly. There's a public parking lot that didn't have an attendant, but had signs to still pay the amount of $10 in a box. We didn't want to risk it, so we parked in the neighborhood and walked. Our service was fantastic with Rajat. The place was clean and vibrant. Everything came out hot, ready, and pretty!“
“This place is so authentic it reminded me of home . The owners are so sweet and welcoming and the FOOD is amazing !! The Ambiance was also so nice and relaxing . I recommend this restaurant for a date , group of friends and parties . Thank you again guys for an amazing evening .“
“I planned on eating Ralphs sushi and stumbled upon the truck to give it a try. Ended up eating here two days in a row. What a gem! Very generous portions. Fresh food and amazing taste! I’ve never had anything like this. YOU MUST GET THE MANY. My friend and I were licking the plates. It’s like dumplings, but sooooo much better. The pilaf and Shurpa are also delicious and so filling.“
“Great Halal option, great atmosphere. Loved the garlic beef. My only concern and this is shared among all Brazilian restaurants is the variety of meat that gets served to your table. We kept getting the same kind of meat and the high end stuff doesn't make it to your table until you ask for it more than once. We didn't get lamb chops till the end while we were almost full, while kept getting sirloin like 5-6 times! Aside from that the grilled pineapple is amazing.“
“I love little hole in the wall places. They are usually the "good spots." This was no exception! Amazing pie! Simple and amazing! I didn't want to wipe my mouth. I just wanted to lick them to get every drop of the perfect sauce.“
“This "Angels Bowl" (essentially a deconstructed hot chicken sandwich with bread swapped for crinkle fries) was everything I had hoped it would be. As a transplant who regularly grumbles at the cost-to-quality/portion size ratio of Hollywood restaurants, I feel this was good value. 2nd highest spice level was enough to get this Midwest-Polish boy sweating, but happy-sweating. Friendly staff. I'll be back.“
“Bomb shwarma spot! Highly recommended. The wraps are filled with meat and delicious veggies. The sauces are very tasty as well. The size of the wraps are big and could probably feed two people. They also have dumplings that looked really good which I will probably try next time I'm there. Add jalapeños, it gives the perfect spice to the wrap.“
“We were looking for an authentic desi food, and loved it. The place or ambience is a fast food place one, more for a carry out orders. . We ordered Goat Paya curry, Goat biryani, Chicken biryani, naan, mango lassi( really tasty), and Mixed grill. The proportion size is great. Courtesy of the owner, Karim bhai was superb, served us complimentary Ras malai. Their chai is good too.They have fresh samosas too.Tomas at the front cashier counter is also a kind lady. Overall, great experience.Pricing is reasonable too.“
“I can't believe I haven't done a review of this place yet. They do a rotating menu that features different cuisines on a monthly basis. I think the first time I went, they had Fiijian food and the second time they had Haitian. Their classic menu includes Somalian, Egyptian, Kenyan. They hire immigrant chefs that highlight their cultures which I thought was pretty dang cool.I got their pita chips with Baba ghanoush. They deep fry their pita bread but also give unfried pita bread if you prefer. But their pita chips are SO GOOD. it's like... crunchy but also chewy. kind of the best of both worlds. I got a lamb stew one time. or was it goat... It came with rice and a giant lamb shank or something. Bone was still on... kinda cut open and the marrow was still inside! Hell yeah. It was full of flavor. Lots of spice to it but not spice-y. I'm thinking maybe it was the Egyptian smothered lamb shank now that I think about it. I remember also trying some of the sambusas. Deep fried triangles filled with spiced, amazing, piping hot goodness. I love that they allow you to mix and match whatever filling you want... unlike other restaurants that make you order them in batches of 3 or whatever.Service was great. We had THE Christian Davis serving us, bringing us all the plates, describing what everything was and how it was made. An extremely pleasant experience... all for a great cause.“
“my friend bashes indian food and perhaps not just their food well let's keep that to ourselves shall we the problem is the price fundamentally an american may view this cuisine as exotic however i also view it as exotic but perhaps not worth the exorbitant fees they charge perhaps indian food in LA is a bigger racket than anything scorsese filmed about“
“Incredible fried chicken spot that also served Korean popcorn chicken which is one of my favorite dishes for Korean fast food. Their chicken sandwiches are loaded and the seasoning is spot on. It is a no nonsense location and has free parking in the heart of ktown!“
“Doner Turco in North Hollywood is a hidden gem and offers a delightful ethnic food experience. I had the chicken wrap and it was an exceptional quality experience. The wrap combined perfectly cooked chicken gyro with fresh vegetables and savory sauces. The friendly and attentive staff adds to the welcoming atmosphere, making it a convenient and accessible choice for locals and visitors alike. The restaurant's cleanliness is noticeable, creating a new options for the locals and visitors. Highly recommended!“
“I lived in koreatown my whole life and i hate that i never tried this place until today. Food was so good here. I thought chicken would be dry just like other kabob places i go but this was the best chicken kabob i ever had. All their other plates were so delicious. I would recommend to everyone.“
“We arrived with a large group, the service was fast and very tasty! very friendly guys, thank you very much for these emotions! Feels like home <3We arrived with a large group, the service was fast and very tasty! very friendly guys, thank you very much for these emotions! Feels like home <3“
“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.“
“Every time we eat there, we are impressed by the overall quality of the food and service. Chef Arango delivers high quality food in every dish. Each item is extremely fresh and well prepared. You can also tell that the family really appreciates every single customer. I can't say enough positive things about them. I am honestly thankful to have a such a solid Indian food option right in the neighborhood.“
“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.“
“If you've been disappointed in the quality of underwhelming hot chicken places that have proliferated in recent years, this place is worthy of your patronage. Freshness, flavor, texture, juiciness--they check all the boxes. Anyone who considers themselves a connoisseur of hot chicken is doing themselves a disservice if they don't check this place out.“
“The Shawarma taste both chicken, and the beef are scrumptious specifically, the garlic sauce is amazing, I took the 24 plate cuz there is 12 and 24 so I got the 24. It’s more than enough for two people and the price is more than reasonable. Keep going guys. Thank you so much.“
“We love this place! Our family has been eating at, and enjoying, Moun of Tunis for many years. Ben, an amiable Tunisian, is still the owner and Paul, a very friendly and accommodating fellow, is still the principal server. The food quality is consistently excellent and the quantity of food served is mind-blowing, but the prices are still quite reasonable. It's a mystery to me how they do that. And the belly dancers are quite entertaining. Highly recommended!“
“I recently dined at this Indian restaurant and was blown away by the culinary journey it took me on. The Chicken Makhni, Alu Gobhi, and the Garlic Naan along with the Cheese Naan were absolute delights . Each dish was bursting with flavor and perfectly balanced in spices. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine. You won't be disappointed!“
“This marks my third order from Anwar's within a single month. The freshness and flavors are beyond description. Were it possible to rate with more hands, I'd award additional stars without hesitation. Concluding my review, dining here feels akin to receiving a warm invitation into someone's home, where the meal is served with genuine love.“
“Paneer tikka masala had so much color lol, but was decent. Garlic naan was below avg felt like some bread with artificial puffiness. Mango lassi was one of the best I had in LA. The other dish was some Parsi dish with Shrimp protein. It was Very tangy and overpriced. Service was pretty avg, not sure why he was unhappy to take the orderVegetarian options: Paneer varieties, Dal Makhani etc lentilsDietary restrictions: Has vegetarian vegan optionsKid-friendliness: Yes“

“I dined in this restaurant for the first time today. The rating of this restaurant is five out of five according to the quality of the food. High-quality restaurant service. The whole restaurant is very clean and I am very happy with the cleanliness and tidiness of the restaurant. When I entered the restaurant there was a nice aromatic smell inside this restaurant which made me want to write something about the restaurant.. Other Indian restaurants have a strong pungent smell of spices but in this restaurant, the only difference I got was a very nice aromatic smell which is used in various five-star hotels while stay. The ambiance of the restaurant is beautifully blended with the color of the walls of the restaurant under the light amber lights to create a dense romantic atmosphere.I am so happy with the organic food of this restaurant that I wish this restaurant all the best for the future and I look forward to seeing the success of this restaurant very high. I am happy with the food of today's restaurant and may your restaurant continue to use this type of organic and locally cut lamb, goat, and chicken in the future.I highly recommend this restaurant.Parking: Free Parking Lot.Kid-friendliness: Very kids Friendly. The owner of this restaurant gave my kid free kulfi.“
“There are few places that leave both my hunger and heart satiated. Electric Karma is one of them. From the amazing food to the wonderful customer service and the amazing company I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying here, I cannot express how happy this place makes me feel.I’m eternally grateful to have shared conversations with my dear friends in the back room, legs crossed, hunched over the low tables. There’s something so special about passing plates back and forth, ensuring everyone gets their fair share, that makes me feel so lucky.Whenever I make plans to go here, I look forward to it all day. I can’t wait to come back and share space with the host and my friends again soon. I’d give them 6 stars if I could :)“
“Food is amazing here! I love butter chicken and have tried it from several place around LA, and this one takes the take! I usually order through DoorDash but I came in this time and the service was incredible. Small little restaurant but the kitchen cranks out an impressive meal. Love.“
“We have just discovered this place, it is really appreciable that it is halal and offers great flavors from Chinese and Thai cuisines. Especially try the Mongolian, Chow Mein, and Tom Yum Soup. The staff is friendly and the service is very fast“
“I love this place. I've been coming here for years and the food is so delicious. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner on my last visit and when I tell you he's a gem of a human being.... super kind and generous. It was a quiet evening and I was visiting with a friend from back east and he was so incredibly kind to us. Full of wisdom and a deep passion for people. The food is authentically prepared with so much TLC. Can't wait to go back! It's also BYOB.The terrace is warm and cozy. The traditional Persian music is wonderful as well.“
“This place is affordable for LA and the portion size was decent. It definitely filled me up and I was satisfied. The employee that took my order ended up bringing the food to my table, which is more than I can say for Dog Haus even though they gave my table a number so the busser knew where to bring it. Definitely go here instead of there if you’re in the area.“

“JoJo's Lebanese take on shawarma is flavorful and delicious, with soft and lightly seasoned meat atop tasty warm rice. The chili and garlic sauces that accompany the food are fresh made too and really add zing to the meal as I alternate what to dip the various meats into. It all came with a solid hummus, warm pita bread points, and a side salad, perfectly and lightly dressed in a lemony dressing w a hint of sumac that felt healthy...While the ambiance is not much here, JoJo's is really all about the food, and the owner's care and his very warm and accommodating staff are to be commended for the fine meals, generous portions, and all around top notch service they all provide as a team.Excellent food!Food 10/10Service 10/10“
“Wow. I liked Indimex before they changed management, now I love it! I wrote a review 7 years ago with a follow up 6 years ago pre covid. Remember when? During Covid and even more recently, I would order and have it delivered. But tonight I saw they were open and there was parking space right in front so I went in person. Wonderfully warm new owner, quaint dining room albeit small but remodeled and the new owner has plans for more. - feels more authentically Indian with a Mexican twist. Indian movie posters and music, colorful walls and tables. Their Chicken Tikka Masala sauce is the real deal as is the raita. Delicious. The chicken tikka masala quesadillas are reasonable and filling. I'm so glad they survived Covid and with this new management I'm excited to see what comes next. Have an adventure as I said in my original posting 7 years ago. Tired of the same old same old? Support local businesses. And enjoy!“
“I'm glad this tasty, family-run restaurant is in my Los Feliz neighborhood. Happy that they've expanded their menu because the Persian Armenian food is delicious. Never had a bad meal, and never had anything but friendly service. Solid, un-pretentious, and relaxed. I dig it.“
“Food was hot and fresh. Service was great and friendly. Hot was definitely spicy. Lemon Pepper wings tasted like a cheap dry rub. Okay wing but it was missing that freshness from a saucy wing vs. dry rub. Nonetheless it was all a great value.“
“Best Indian food I've ever had. Everytime I've ordered elsewhere since ordering from here I've been disappointed. My GO TO Indian spot & it will never be rivaled! I always get the veggie coconut curry, basmati rice, veggie samosas, raita, mint sauce & mango chutney, and the cheese naan. And a mango lassi & gulab for dessert of course. Consistent and delicious. Love yall!“
“Daaaaang! This food was delicious! We stopped by after a long hike, purchased the OG Plate which has mostly everything they serve. And devoured it! The consome was awesome as well! Dip everything in it!? Then we washed it down with a refreshing hibiscus drink! Will be back for the burrito!“

“Had one of their combo meals via delivery. Goat curry, saag paneer and a mixed veg dish with rice, naan and raita. Everything was delicious, certainly some of the best Indian food I've had close to mid city. Very much appreciate that they serve goat and have dishes on the menu that are outside the standard Indian menu you see at most places in the area. Looking forward to going in person and trying their balti dishes as well as the paya. "Very very spicy" here seems to mean mildly spicy, so if you're a chili head like me best to let them know you mean business. The cilantro mint chutney was probably the best I've ever had-so fresh. All around great food.“
“ust dined at Shekarchi in downtown LA, and it’s safe to say it’s the best Persian restaurant in Southern California. The cuisine is of unmatched quality and deliciousness, blending authentic Persian flavors seamlessly. The Koobideh and Shishlik come highly recommended for those looking to indulge in the true essence of Persian culinary excellence. The atmosphere of Shekarchi sets it apart, offering a romantic vibe with an American twist, making it the perfect introduction for non-Persians keen on experiencing Middle Eastern food for the first time in an inviting, familiar environment. Shekarchi is undeniably a must-visit for a memorable culinary journey.“
“Smells good but WARNING - if you don’t have 25 minutes to wait for a chicken sandwich you are better off going elsewhere. They should really have a warning on the door that says Nashville Chicken and your grandmas speed.UPDATE: 100% worth the wait tho. So idk, guess I’ll order ahead next time! So damn good.“
“We couldn’t find parking to drop off package at UPS store so we parked behind the store and discovered this restaurant. Food is delicious and service has been great. Normally we would eat at Panda but now we are supporting this small business.“
“Had chicken shawarma with falafel. 4/5Also had their chai, which tasted like dipped tea with milk. 3/5Overall an ok experience.We got lucky with the street parking as we got the spot right in front of the restaurant ,otherwise might have to look for other parking spots in busier time.“
“Excellent from start to finish. Cozy little bistro serving excellent grilled meats and Mediterranean sides. The lamb chops were tasty, tender and flavorful especially when paired with the smoky velvety babaganoush. The chicken shawarma wrap was also a hit as was the succulent salmon.“
“My go-to for takeout, but there is an inviting dine-in area with enough space for a few tables. The customer service is consistently swift; my phone orders are ready upon my arrival. The pricing is appropriate, offering generous portions. My usual half-and-half combo (chicken and beef) includes rice, hummus, pita bread, and a refreshing salad. Although I tend to forget to swap the salad for fries, another diner had them on their plate and they looked so yummy. Every element is expertly seasoned, resulting in consistency.“
“This is my local location. I've never dined in because the corner where they're at is ridiculous traffic wise, both car and people. I always opt for a 2 people meal. Everything is always still perfectly hot temp wise by the time it gets to my place. Speaking of hot, their spice level is it. You can't go wrong. They stay consistent. I've yet to be disappointed with any item I've tried. Thanks for always being the perfect solution to my munchies attacks“
“Ariana and Sarkis were so helpful and accommodating. The food was prepared very quickly . We ordered the cauliflower bites with medium spice, chicken tenders with mild spice, and the two slider combo. If you are a vegan and love hot ? "chicken" the cauliflower is ? ? amazing, too!“
“Great place for a fried chicken sandwich. I always take it to go, but there is outside (covered) seating if you want to eat there. Their menu is posted on the main window, which is really convenient, but I would REALLY like to be able to see the cashier - they have to stoop to see out, making it awkward for both of us.“
“A very pleasant surprise near Universal Studios. We found a nice Indian restaurant.This nice restaurant serves some good favorite Indian dishes that you would be familiar with. The spices are perfect.certainly enjoyable. Medium heat is perfect and may be geared for the spice lovers thus choose accordingly if you are more adventurous they have hot and very hot options.The decor is nice and cleanThe dining room was packed with customers tonight. They are well situated from their long history at this location. The pricing is reflective of all this and is very good value.You will be well satisfied.We’ll be back real soon Royal Curry“
“My recent dining experience at Open Sesame was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly and made to feel at home. Despite not having a reservation, we were pleasantly surprised to be seated within 15 minutes. The food was like a home-cooked meal, incredibly authentic, and bursting with flavor. Each dish was a delightful experience, and it was evident that great care was taken in preparing them. The service was also outstanding, exceeding all expectations. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience with delicious, homestyle food and impeccable service.“
“Awesome place. Parking is a problem. Food was very affordable and quality. Good size portions. Service was good. Food was delicious, and perfectly made. I got the number 3. With hot and medium, that’s the perfect balance. Come check it out.“
“Such a great experience here! Place is exceptionally clean and the service is quick. It was my first time at Dave's and Jessie the cashier answered all of my questions. The chicken was tender and crispy, just the way it's supposed to be. I'll be back the next time i'm in Burbank!“
