“Delicious food, I love the shish kebabs & rice! 😋“

“I waited a year to come here from the east coast, and it was worth the wait. From the food to the atmosphere, I felt like I was in another dimension with the unique take on regional cooking styles to the sound quality of the music. You could taste the freshness in the ingredients — even the cheese in the dessert was clearly homemade and freshly made. This is such a unique and special place. Thank you for a wonderful experience. This was the best food I had in a long time.“

“Delicious food and friendly workers“

“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. 👏🏾“

“delicious food in a beautiful setting.“

“Best meditarranean restaurant in downtown Long Beach for sure ,this place is new and already getting popular in the area“

“We are blessed to have this King Mediterráneo in Torrance. The food is delicious and very generous on the portion served. When I go there, I always try to say hello to Ara or Norah. It is such a pleasure to see and talk to them, they make me feel that we are long time friends. For sure I recommend this place and give them a FIVE STAR rating. I assure you will not be disappointed. !!!!!!“

“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.“

“Great customer service, the music on point loved the hole 80’s theme. Manager was beyond professional very knowledgeable with salad and chicken flavors I love the Maison special salad so much I bought 3 of them. Keep up the good work guys definitely better management now.“

“Santee Falafel in DTLA is a must.

We ordered the falafel, chicken, and hummus and everything was incredible. The falafel was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the chicken was flavorful and well seasoned, and the hummus was fresh, smooth, and honestly some of the best I’ve had.

You can tell the ingredients are high quality and everything is made with care. Simple food done right.

Highly recommend to anyone coming to downtown LA.“

“Great service food is good“

“Made a last minute decision stop at this tiny place (after an appointment at Kaiser down the street) and was VERY pleasantly surprised! It was DELICIOUS! The air-fried falafel was UNIQUE and perfectly crunchy on the outside! It's a MUST try and I'll definitely be back.“

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

“Jacob was amazing. !!!!!

This review is from the girl with the braids and the SpongeBob jersey on lol“

“Excellent food!!! Great service and we observed lots of take-away traffic“

“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.“

“Delicious and amazing service!“

“Food was delicious , menu had so much to choose from“

“Such a cute coffee spot with great attention to detail! One of my favorite things is that they can customize the cold foam with any logo or design you want, which makes the drinks feel extra special and perfect for photos. The coffee itself was smooth and delicious, and the presentation was amazing.
Their pastry selection is just as impressive. We tried a few desserts and they were fresh, beautifully made, and tasted as good as they looked. The food menu is also worth mentioning—everything was flavorful and well-prepared.
The atmosphere is cozy, stylish, and perfect for catching up with friends, working, or treating yourself to a coffee date. If you're looking for a café that combines creativity, great drinks, and amazing pastries, this place is definitely worth a visit!
☕🍓🥭🥐 Highly recommend the custom cold foam drinks and pastries—you won't be disappointed.

Loved!!!“

“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⭐️“

“It was my first time visiting, and the staff were very kind and helpful in their explanations, which made for a very pleasant experience. The food was delicious, too.
I definitely want to go back again to try some of their other dishes.“

“They have an awesome multiple day deals you can try. We went on a Tuesday for the gryo wraps and fries combo that could feed up to 5 people.

The gyro was decent and the fries were nice and crispy. The portions were a little bit small, so it felt like it could likely feed 4 instead of 5.

The staff was very nice and friendly.“

“The Rotisserie chicken was amazing!! I give it a 10! The spicy coleslaw was really good as well! Glad we decided to order for dinner. Yum! 🙂“

“Kabob plate has it all: chicken, beef, rice, salad, garlic paste and pita. The entire plate was clean after we finished.

The owner is very helpful and eager to help customers when they have questions.

They’ll put the game on for you if you ask. Overall, excellent experience.“

“Lunch time is always crowded but it moves quickly they also have a kiosk for ordering food if you don’t like lines the place is always clean the aroma is tasty the staff including the men that staff the kitchen are so pleasant from the cashier to the ones that serve the table bringing you your order has the best personality in the restaurants business. Take out or dine in just fabulous try it you will not be disappointed. There are other locations Redondo Beach is my ground“

“Amazing food, nice friendly atmosphere!“

“Wow. I just put my fork in to pull some chicken meat off and it was so tender the bone popped right out (even though it wasn’t my intent) and came off 100% clean. Unreal.. reminds me of the food back home. Can’t wait to try everything on the menu including the fried eggplant vegan sandwich. We got the lemon chicken, falafel, and fried cauliflower, which is more like a cauliflower steak than florets. Delicious but just an fyi.“

“Went yesterday with my Daughters and can I say the food was so amazing. It was everything I hoped it to be. We came all the way from L. A and it was worth the drive. We will definitely be back! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“This food 🥘 a truly good!!!“

“a must try .. I was in the trial day tasting the food and all food were fabulous and delicious“

“Very good food healthy for diabete people“

“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.“

“Dynamite Mediterranean spot located in a Lawndale area ghost kitchen. Everything that I tried here was fresh-tasting, well-seasoned and so delicious! Standouts for me were the kafta kabob and the gyro meat. I was very impressed with the authenticity of the flavors and the loving care put into the preparation and the presentation. And, the accompanying baba ganoush was very fresh and tasty. David, the chef and owner (along with his wife) is very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be returning to try some other items on the menu.“

“TKS never disappoints! Their ingredients are fresh and good quality. The sauces and the fire hummus keep me coming back for more! I love the inspiration from San Diego's food scene by mixing in fries to the wrap. The staff is always friendly and attentive as well. Makes this place an easy decision for a meal.“

“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.“

“Awesome food with lots of great flavor. We enjoyed our experience and definitely would recommend to others to try. 10/10“

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

“QUITE LITERALLY one of the best hidden gems in LA. The chicken skewers are jumbo and the sides are FIRE. The mac and cheese is just as good as the best I've ever had. The brussel sprouts are solid.One of the BEST values out there. And hidden in a super market. Whoda thunk?

Vegetarian options: Brussel sprouts. Vegetable medley.“

“la comida meditereanea esta deliciosa y el sevicio es rapido y amable. me encanto!“

“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.“

“Good food. Good portion. Highly recommended!“

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