“Absolutely fantastic food!“

“Tried out your Cerritos location, I lived in LA almost 3years and food especially the kebab wrap was the best by far and I have tried different kebab place’s before in LA. One of the best Kebab place in America, the lamb was moist and very tasty with great flavors, the combination of the hummus, salad, fries combined with the lamb was delicious, the fresh flat bread was soft and crispy on the outside. Add the garlic yogurt sauce wow your tastebuds explodes in your mouth, the food was very lite and not heavy like most kebab place so they got the right balance by using the flat bread and not pita bread that most place use on the wrap Well done this place remind me of a place back home in New Zealand. I give The Kebab shop in Cerritos 10/10 Highly Recommend this place to my friends and family and different locations in America. Will go again and try something different on the menu.“

“I luv this place! I usually order for pick up. I recommend the Chicken Kabob plate with Basmati rice and a Ceasar salad. Don't forget the pita bread! 😋👍“

“Making the most out of this Covid-19 situation for pick-up. Order was secure, exact, and made fresh. They were backed up as when I first got there they were a little short staffed as The Friday Dinner rush was starting, but they kept their cool, their extra hand showed up, and they did well. Just make yourself visible so they got your name assuming you pre-ordered for pick-up. The short wait will not disappoint. And they definitely didn't forget my white sauce - always my biggest fear as it's truly the essence of this place!“

“Cava is literally my favorite! This was my first time visiting this location. The restaurant was clean and well-kept, and the food was fresh and delicious!
Jenny was very friendly and professional, and made the whole experience smooth and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back!“

“We decided on Dvine even though it had such a high rating (I don't believe high ratings). The place is spotless, the decoration is beautiful, the staff super helpful and welcoming and the food delicious.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing experience at Alibaba Mediterranean Cuisine. The food was marvelous—fresh, flavorful, and served hot, clean, and perfectly presented. From the very first bite, you can tell this isn’t just another Mediterranean place. I’ve traveled extensively throughout the Mediterranean, and this is one of those rare spots where the food genuinely takes you back. It truly feels like you’re tasting the real thing again. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the place is clean and well-organized, and parking was easy and convenient—which honestly makes a big difference. The staff were friendly, attentive, and professional. Special thanks to the manager, “Allen”—he clearly cares about quality, service, and the overall experience. You can feel that passion in everything they do. If you’re looking for authentic Mediterranean flavors, great service, and a place that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into the Mediterranean itself, this is it. Highly recommended. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Un buen servicio y la comida rica“

“Delicious and amazing service!“

“My boyfriend and I had a car issue so we decided to grab lunch randomly from this restaurant and we were not disappointed. it looks like a family business and everyone involved is super lovely and they make amazing food. My boyfriend got a beef wrap and I got a chicken Shawarma wrap. I have never had that quality of chicken Shawarma in my life. The spices and flavors were amazing and overall we had a super nice lunch. Highly recommend stopping by and trying their food. We will definitely be back the next time we are in the area.“

“Food was excellent. You can taste the quality of ingredients and I mean everything from the tomatoes to the rice was delicious. The tortilla had a bit of a burnt taste to it. Would love to see them upgrade it to something with a little more rise but the wrap portion was massive! 2 burritos in one. Amazing customer service, they go out of their way to serve customers…they get it. Will be back!“

“This is our go-to place for great Mediterranean style food. Great food, and friendly employees, especially Cailyn and Jonathan! I miss the beef 'kafka' and kale salad, but the seasoned beef/lamb combo and the new salads are great too.
Keep it up.“

“If you haven’t been to Cava yet, let me save you the suspense. From the moment you walk in, the ingredients look fresh, and the entire team moves with purpose and professionalism. You can tell right away they take pride in what they do and that starts at the top with Stavo.

Stavo was so sweet, friendly, and overall amazing. I absolutely loved his personality! You can tell he genuinely cares about both the people he works with and every single guest who walks through the door.

Now let me talk about something that surprised me.

I have never tried their Mint Cucumber drink before because I simply do not like anything minty. Ever! Stavo suggested I give it a try. I asked him directly, “Is it minty?” He confidently told me it wasn’t overpowering and that it’s actually one of their top drinks. And let me just say he did not lie!!!!

The Mint Cucumber was divine. So refreshing. Light, crisp, and perfectly balanced. It wasn’t overwhelmingly minty at all just clean and cooling in the best way. Thank you for that suggestion, Stavo. You converted me!

And while we’re here, if you haven’t had their Pita Chips, you are absolutely missing out. They are the BEST. Perfectly crisp, lightly salted, and dangerously addictive. Make sure you get them when they’re fresh and come right out that’s when they’re at their peak. Trust me on this one.

The food is consistently amazing fresh greens, flavorful proteins, creamy hummus, vibrant toppings everything tastes thoughtfully prepared. But what truly makes this location stand out is the experience. The teamwork. The hospitality. The leadership.

Five stars simply don’t feel like enough. 👏🏾“

“Great ambiance and amazing food. I had a lot of food… falafel, spicy hummus, kafta kabob, tzatziki loaded with veggies, cheese balls, and baklava. All so delicious and fresh. I even loved the fresh pita and dipping sauce that was complimentary. From the manager and many servers, everyone was pleasant and friendly throughout my time there. I went during happy hour so the specials were great during that time. I’m definitely returning to this Mediterranean restaurant for sure. I loved it.“

“We ordered this takeout. I must say, even with a 15 minute drive home, the food was delicious. The food was very, very tasty and cooked to perfection. It was a little pricey but worth it.“

“I love the Salmon bowl! I’m attracted to the Kids eat free Mon-Thursday. I like the kids play area. It’s inside or outside. I will be back for many terrific reasons!“

“Very pleasant experience here! From the friendly accommodating staff, to the very delicious well prepared fish, it was a treat!! Best fish I’ve ever had! I look forward to coming back! 5⭐️“

“They're lentil soup is absolutely delightful. You can't beat their lunch specials, and if your not getting some of their baklava before you leave your outta your damn mind. So good... so authentic. My BF is Turkish and we come here when he needs a little slice of home.“

“This is actually our favorite restaurant. The food is always perfectly fresh and flavorful, and the owners are incredibly kind and friendly. Their falafel is the best I’ve ever had, and my husband LOVES the steak. The care that the owners put into their meals and service is evident, and it is a delight to be one of their customers. So grateful we stumbled upon this hidden gem.“

“We love love your restaurant!! You have the best grilled chicken ever!! We dine here about twice a month. We love Paris she is a fantastic server. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience every time. ❤️“

“Issac is absolutely wonderful with a wonderful smile ❤️ He helped me with my grandma on understanding the menu & making suggestions on her choices. My mom who got food from the restaurant next door & has never been here, even said she was coming back because she liked Isaac's spirit.“

“My tummy is so full and happy. The staff was so very friendly (cashier). Definitely coming back!“

“good and healthy food and very delicious too.“

“They have very friendly staff and the food is fantastic.“

“One12Caffe in Downey is such a cute spot! It has that cozy cafe-diner feel, but it’s also the kind of place where you can bring your laptop, grab a coffee, and enjoy a good meal. The spicy chicken Alfredo was a standout, and their matcha drinks are definitely worth trying. They have a great variety of crepes and desserts, too. The portions were huge, the prices were reasonable, and the staff was super friendly. Whether you’re meeting up with friends, grabbing brunch, or looking for a cozy spot to get some work done, this place is worth checking out. I’d definitely come back to try more of their menu!“

“Best ever kabob&desserts. Quality Service Ambient Best flavor food!!! Try once & never stop😋“

“★★★★★

World Famous Grill is a fantastic spot for a delicious and satisfying meal! The food was flavorful, fresh, and cooked just right, with generous portions that left me completely satisfied. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Everything made for a great dining experience. Definitely worth visiting—I’d happily come back again!“

“Been getting food from here for a while now and always is on point. Kind of a bummer they don't have filet mignon meat option like their other location, but not a disappointment as the the steak is tender and flavorful as well. You can substitute the salad for potatoes. Not sure if they have an option where it is not spicy, but that is how I get it. Also, their green sauce is a must to add to your rice and protein you get. They are not open on weekends so you'd need to make time during the week and on the early side as that is the only time they are open. Parking is at the Commerce Commons. It's kind of like a food court at your local Shopping Mall. The staff here are always welcoming and nice.“

“Tasty middle eastern food with great service. The chicken kebab was so full of flavor and so juicy and tender … crazy good. Loved the garlic sauce, gave it the perfect balance. The falafel were crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. Highly recommend!“

“The BEST pita chips and hummus!“

“DISCLAIMER***I ate half my food because the smell was amazing to know how delicious it is!

Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic middle Eastern sharwarma 🙌💕✨ thank you Kimo for sharing your delicious home cooking with us. It is truly an honor 🙏“

“Alan/Yalla Truck provided the attendees at our event with the most delicious meals!
He has a fantastic menu to choose from and gave us the highest quality food and the quantity was most satisfying. His crew was efficient and professional and all through our emails and phone calls, Alan was professional and helpful.

Couldn’t ask for a better experience!
Thank you Alan! Your Yalla Truck should be in high demand.“

“Love this place, we try to go and have breakfast every Sunday.“
