“Delicious!!!!! I want to try everything on the menu!!! Order the Adas rice, amazing!!“

“One of my favorite place to eat however the service is not what it used to be, on this visit I was with some guests and even they brought up the service, so I hope they polish up the place a little and bring it back to what it was......the food was not bad however they took off some side items that usually come with the meal....(I guess it's the sign of the times we are in)“

“Service with love. The food is amazing. The owner is very kind.“

“The lunch special is a really good deal as the food is always hot and delicious. The long grain basmati rice is extremely soft and so delicious. The boneless chicken kabobs are super juicy and cooked to perfection. We also tried the ghormeh sabzi and the gheyme and they were both very good!!! one of my favorite hidden gems on the west side of the valley. The owner is very kind and sweet as the food is made with love.“

“Monaia Mediterranean Cuisine is a true gem. The quality of the raw meats alone sets them apart — exceptionally fresh, beautifully cut, and with a level of care you can immediately taste. The variety across the menu is impressive, from classic Mediterranean staples to thoughtfully prepared specialties that feel both authentic and elevated.

Service is attentive, warm, and genuinely knowledgeable, which makes the entire experience feel effortless and welcoming. You can tell this is a place that takes pride in what they do — from sourcing to preparation to presentation.

If you care about quality ingredients, generous portions, and consistently excellent service, Monaia is a place you’ll want to return to again and again.“

“My first time trying Mediterranean food and what can I say, the dishes were authentic and so delicious, especially the Fattoush Salad . Loved it so much. I will definitely recommend to my friends.“

“I recently visited Safir Mediterranean Cuisine after their remodel, and honestly the place looks fantastic now — very modern, clean, stylish, and welcoming without losing its warm atmosphere.

The food was delicious every time I went. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and made with care. You can tell they really put effort into both the quality and presentation. The staff was friendly, attentive, and respectful, which made the experience even better.

A special thank you to Matt, the owner, who was a true gentleman. He took the time to greet customers and made everyone feel comfortable and appreciated. That kind of hospitality is becoming rare these days.

I noticed a few unfair negative reviews online, but after visiting several times and seeing how busy the restaurant was with happy customers, I honestly believe Safir deserves much more support and fair recognition. Sometimes one bad experience gets exaggerated online, but consistent service and quality speak louder.

If you enjoy great Mediterranean/Persian food, a beautiful atmosphere, and friendly service, I definitely recommend giving Safir a try. Wishing them continued success after the remodel!“

Definitely will be back!“

“Food is great and service was fine. Unfortunately, the location lacks any charm. It's dark, cavernous and lacking in any charm or warmth. I love the location on West Adams, but will not return to the Sherman Oaks location unless it's for takeout. They really need to find a new space“

“Cicek’s Chicken has been one of my go-to Mediterranean spots for years, and it’s always consistent. I had the half chicken with hummus and salad — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and filling. The chicken is juicy with great seasoning, the hummus is smooth, and everything tastes fresh.

The price-to-value ratio is excellent, the place is always clean, and service is solid. If you’re looking for a great place to eat chicken, this spot delivers every time. Highly recommended.“

“This is one of my go-to lunch spots. Everything I've tried is absolutely delicious, and the service is amazing, they are truly kind people. Prices are very reasonable, especially for the portion size. I can't recommend Lusy's enough.“

The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure you have a great time. And the weekend live music adds such a fun and lively atmosphere! Highly recommend this place for a fantastic night out.“

“Chicken Dijon in Torrance, has really great food, the employees are always friendly, smiles and accommodating. I have been going for several years and will continue to patron this location. I also found them very smart in proving a free drink for a yelp. I think a trend offering this type of promotion would be good business.“

“This place is one of our “fam fave” eateries. The food is always good. The menu is extensive. ... And it’s Kosher!“

“All……. Everything!!!!!!!!“

“I AM AFGHAN AND THIS IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST AND MOST AUTHENTIC AFGHAN FOOD IVE HAD IN ALL OF LA!

I ordered the potato and leek bolanee. Both were delicious, I always prefer leek over potato but that's my preference both were amazing. I also ordered the mantoo which was cooked to perfection and the afghan rice with lamb shank which is essentially khabuli pualo was also delicious. The lady who was running the spot was the sweetest lady ever she included an extra plate for us the Chapli kabob, which was exceptional! I was not expecting it to be this good!!! the meat was so so tender I thought it was lamb! Definitely going to be my regular spot! So happy to have found this gem! Also keep in mind this food is FRESH and made to order so factor in that it's not a drive through joint and the food isn't just sitting out, there is one lady running the store and cooking so be patient you won't be disappointed. Overall 10/10 I will definitely be back and recommend this place to everyone!!!“

“Always love the food. You have perfect chefs. I've noticed that when I ask to toast the bread, the sandwich is way more fun. Thank you thank you. It's not surprising how busy your restaurant is. Makes sense to me.“

“For a Kosher restaurant, the prices are very reasonable and the portions are huge. The Shawarma is the best, but if you like Schnitzel, go for the breaded Schnitzel. it's the best.“

“Esmeralda was amazing during my visit to Panini in Northridge. She was so friendly, attentive, and made the whole dining experience even better. She really went above and beyond, and her great attitude stood out right away. Honestly, she was just the best I left feeling well taken care of and very happy with my visit. Great service like that makes a big difference. I’ll definitely be back!“
