I would definitely come back and recommend this to people who want to try Mediterranean food but also like to enjoy the experience. Please come by and visit them! They deserve all the love and support from everyone that visit them. Get the chicken kabob plate its really good!“

“Excellent food and nice staff“

“This place is like Subway, but with pizza instead of sandwiches (and much fresher ingredients). They have a menu of pizzas, but you can customize all of your toppings as you watch a staff member put it together for you every step of the way - from saucing to firing it up in the pizza oven so it comes out fast and hot. The crust is consistently perfect (thin and crispy), there are a ton of fresh, quality ingredient options, and the flavors are amazing. This is a place I have frequented for years and I can honestly say that I have never had a pizza I didn't like. I've tried a handful of them, but my go-to is the green pie (pesto basil sauce, mozzarella, feta, zucchini, eggplant, artichoke hearts & fresh tomatoes). My husband does not like vegetables too much, but even he has learned to let them make it as-is, without customizing it, because it is SO GOOD! The chicken wings are juicy, meaty, and delicious. The salads and Mediterranean plates are great as well (chicken/beef kabob, falafel or chicken shawarma served with rice, salad, hummus, pita bread, and garlic sauce). There is even a dessert counter where you can usually find an assortment of treats like macarons, Dubai chocolate bars, and Baklava. They also serve beer (bottled and on tap).

Aside from the great food, the place has a great ambience with a large & spacious indoor dining area as well as a large shaded patio area in the front (facing bustling Citrus Ave), big screen TVs, and even a little game machine for the kids. They do a great job of keeping it all nice and clean. A small touch I really appreciate is that they conveniently keep extra plates, silverware, condiments, and to-go boxes out in the front so you can use as much as you need without having to ask for them.

On top of all that, it's in a prime location in downtown Covina so there is plenty to do if you have some time to walk around. Great for families and casual date nights.

This place hits every.single.time.“

“I see far too many people eating their experiences down to a parking lot. HELLO PEOPLE YOU ARE EATING THE PARKING LOT. The kind people in this restaurant put many hours into finding fresh ingredients and creating not only healthy but delicious food. Matter of fact I'm on my way there now.“

“Wonderful place and great food.“

“Food is delicious great staff“

“The Red Café is an absolute gem in Glendora! Lena, the owner, is incredibly welcoming and genuinely cares about her customers’ satisfaction. She goes above and beyond to make sure everyone leaves happy. The food here is fantastic, with a great variety of options, all made from organic ingredients. And let me tell you, the coffee is simply amazing! Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a leisurely meal, the outdoor seating provides a lovely atmosphere to enjoy your time. Highly recommend stopping by The Red Café!“

“I love how tasty their food is. I had the Lafta wrap and a Kafta plate. The way I devoured it all was insane. The flavors were great, the food was fresh, and the restaurant is kept very clean and tidy. The bread in unreal and tastes so good from their oven. I absolutely loved this place and I loo forward to coming back!

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp right by the entrance!“

“Damasquino’s never disappoints. I have been to quite a few Mediterranean restaurants and I cannot compare to Damasquino’s. Lately I have been treating myself to a meal every week or every other week. I am obsessed with the chicken shawarma, falafel, their sauce, and the flavor of the food is amazing. I also want to say the service is always good and the people taking orders are always very polite.“

“Food here is super fresh and cooked very well!

“The food is amazing! You can’t be the quality of the ingredients.“

“Delicious cozy food and ambiance. Staff is friendly, portions are hearty and healthy. Been twice now. Absolutely in love with their Shawarma, falafel, saffron rice, and hummus. Quickly falling in love with Middle Eastern food. Makes my belly happy everytime. No heartburn, no guilt, no regret. The food makes me wake up energized next day. My wife and I will be lifers here for sure!“

“This restaurant is absolutely phenomenal. The atmosphere is warm and friendly which is evident from all interactions with every staff member. The food and service are excellent in every sense of the word. The bread and baklava were made fresh! The Turkish Delights were phenomenal. The owner and staff went to great lengths to make us feel comfortable and welcome, explaining the menu items in detail. We are so excited to have come across this gem!!! It is the type of culinary and cultural experience that my husband and I treasure. We will be coming again soon, both with and without friends! We can’t wait to try some of the items on the patio grill. :)“

“Great place, delicious food 😋. Worth the drive 👍“

“The food is AMAZING and the portions are very generous. My husband and I typically get the combo for two, and we usually have leftovers for lunch the next day. It’s a great value for the amount of food you get, and it’s all delicious. The kebabs, the hummus, and the rice are all perfectly seasoned every time. The beef kebab is my favourite, followed closely by the hummus.“

“Excellent food (and service) at good prices. Dinner plates are hearty with plenty of food to split in half. Thank you!“

“We ordered the spicy hummus, garlic fries, beef shawarma, babakenush?, and cauliflower. My friend saw the baclava and had to try it. So we started with desser. The pistachio was very crispy and chewy and was my friends favorite. The walnut was sweet and chewy which was my favorite. Everything was absolutely delicious! The spicy hummus had a little kick at the beginning but as we ate we didn't taste the kick anymore. The cauliflower is lightly fried and so freaking delicious! I ate it by itself or with some hummus. My friend ate it with the babakanush and some cauliflower sauce and was in love. I tried her babakanush. I don't like eggplant but this was really delicious! Had a lovely garlic flavor that was slightly addicting. The garlic fries was just fries sprinkled with garlic powder but dipped it in the hummus and it was good. The pitas were really good too. I could've eaten more if I wasn't so full. But the beef shawarma was freaking AMAZING!!!!! We both said this was the best Mediterranean food we've ever had. I said no tomatoes to my beef shawarma which I'm glad I did. The flavor was absolutely amazing without it. Definitely 10/10 no complaints at all. And service was awesome too! So kind, friendly, and funny. I can't wait to come back again!“

“I've been searching for really good stuffed grape leaves since a former co-worker brought some of her home made dolma at work about 8 years ago... I've had some hits (mostly misses), but none compared to the one she made... now this... the search is over. Happy palate!😊 It's my first time here. What can I say? As soon as I entered the place, I can smell good things baking and cooking. The owner showed me trays of fresh baked pastries/pies (spinach, meat & cheese) as he took them out straight from the oven. Everything looked delicious. The service was great. I ordered to go and the owner gave me a sample of the Cheese Burak (Cheese Pie) to eat on the go. I started driving off and as soon as I took my first bite I regretted immediately why I did not order that.Everything we ordered were so flavorful and delicious. They also have the best Hummus. So I will definitely go back to this place. 😊“

“If you wanna eat authentic middle-eastern food. Stop scrolling u found the right place. The food is home food quality. clean fresh and delicious. I drive 5 hrs just to stock my freezer. My kids love to have em as lunch for school. Their friends as well. not to mention the teachers. Every time i have to buy more and more. Give it a try and thank me later.“

“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! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Lovely healthy food, great hookah options, and wonderful service. I love the atmosphere it’s like a mini vacation.“

“Had take out. Ordered the Family (?) Meal that comes with 4 skewers (chicken and beef kabobs, then chicken koobideh and beef koobideh). The chicken was juicy and tender. It's the only place in the area I don't mind going back to.“
