Middle Eastern Restaurants near Culver City, CA

“The breakfast / brunch menu has a good concept and good options. The merguez sandwich was good, but too oily. The fries were done well but too salty.

I wish they cooked the food with less oil and salt. Maybe I'll request that if I stop by to eat there again.“

“The lamb chops taste great. The salad and roasted tomato and pepper are all good. I really like the food. Yummy, healthy and balanced. I’m just wondering why I can’t substitute rice with Greek salad for the plate since it’s doable in the app.“

“I was visiting LA and my friend recommended this place. I love the service and food whole heartedly. We ordered Chicken Shish kabob entree and Beef Koobideh kabob. Serving was really big and very filling. I did also order tiramisu which lacked coffee flavor.“

“Great food and cocktails!! 🍸“

“Koobideh meal is delicious just how I cook at home. Tahchin has cardamom in it which I'm not used to, but it is still good. The ghormeh sabzi is good but lacking some lemon flavor for me. Ask for extra Omani lemon/lime to squeeze into the stew. House doogh was very good. Owner Reza is very nice and friendly. Overall a good experience. No restroom on premesis.“

“Incredible food and service. Our waiters name was Christian; he was personable, kind, and hospitable. The food was mouthwatering and had such unique flavors. HUGE portions and definitely comfort food as they state. Will definitely be returning to check out the new menu each month.“

“Always a good interaction when coming to Z Falafel. The cooks are such nice guys and always so helpful when I may ask about one of their many options on the menu. I always try to switch up my plate when I come here and not once have I had a disappointing meal from this location. Keep going hard!“

“Highly highly recommend. Awesome food. Great owner. Great servers. Best babaganoush ever!“

“The best Yemeni restaurant in USA I believe. Has the taste and smile of authentic Yemeni dishes. I highly recommend to any one visiting LA ..“

“Aviad Yalin, it was great to talk to you today about Haifa. You are doing something really special. As you were grounded in the best in Haifa Isreal. Perhaps the best in all of Israel. Avi Cue will become a regular stop on our trips to LA. God bless and Kind Regards... Scott“

“I like the food Jamil n actman is the best“

“Delicious! Really interesting and tasty food.“

“Great food! Excellent service! 😍“

“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.“

“I came to Orla by Michael Mina for my 21st birthday celebration and had the best time! Our waiter was so sweet and very attentive. We started with drinks and the whipped chickpea hummus. Then, I had the best salmon ever. Finally, we ended with two amazing desserts. The restaurant is beauitful and conveniently located. I’ll definitely be coming back if I ever find myself in Santa Monica again!“

“Thank you to the Raffis staff for their professional work, friendly approach, and delicious food. A funny story happened today. My friend and I had lunch, had a good time, and forgot the envelope with money on the table. A few hours later, we remembered that we had forgotten the money on the table. We went back and they returned our money to us.Thank you very much:Rafuel,Martin,Luis❤️you are professional👍“

“This is the best Mediterranean/Lebanese food in LA. I have not tried a better falafel anywhere in the world yet... Definitely 10 stars!!“

“Great Chicken 🐔 Kabob plate.“

“A++++++++++++++++++++++++“

“Very impressed with Javan! Service was so helpful and friendly, especially our server Victor. The food was outstanding and so fresh. The combination of flavors in the Alex salad was absolutely outstanding. Our vegetarian Koobideh was delicious. The hummus and babaganoush were perfect. Thank you - we will be back!“

“Excellent Lebanese restaurant! The food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was attentive, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. Highly recommend for anyone craving genuine Lebanese cuisine!“

“Came to Carousel with a party of 9. Our table was waiting on arrival and the staff was fantastic especially given our time constraints. We let them know we had to be out the door in 90 minutes for a show and they ensured we were fed a feast with time to spare. We did the family style - Hollywood Feast which was a lot of fun. The Hollywood Feast will leave you with days of leftovers which we are now enjoying. Would recommend family style for large groups. All the food was great, everyone agreed the chicken stood out as superb, very juicy and tender. Definitely coming back.“

“Overall I will give this place a 4 starts. The concept is great and I’m sure it was initially running super great. Right now it feels like is missing more attention, service was ok, not rude just ok, food was good, not necessarily the greatest but I think a 4 starts is well deserved.“

“Great foods and good portions too. 2nd time there and still delicious. 👍🥰“

“Everything was delish!! No doubts, all of it was fabulous!!“

“Love Chicken Maison! when I pull up at . The spicy lemon garlic chicken is so good and fresh. They always greet you with a smile and explain the menu to you. I love the music selection while i was waiting.
A whole vide. The manager Eric was very helpful and polite.“

“The best service and the food always amazing! Tastes like its homemade and with so much love! Such nice people with the family vibes is my favorite part! Thank you for always providing at my events! Always my go to spot!“

“This is the first iranian restaurant ive been to that doesnt serve kabob. Its so unique, and all their dishes taste so so so good. Its like traditional home-styled dishes. Amazing. They have some modern twists to some stuff like the appetizers. And they have sekanjebin, I loved it (an apple cider vinegar drink - kinda like poppy but better lol). Im going back forsure. P.S. the ambiance is nice with the old-school iranian decorations and plants. The lamb gheimeh is to die for.“

“Delicious , authentic Israeli food just like I’ve had during my visits to Israel. Great staff and welcoming to all!“

“The perfect meal to break my daily intermittent keto fast. I eat the salad bowls, sub grilled veg for the hummus and I'm relatively carb free. Carbs from the plants but no processed or concentrated carbs from sugar, seeds or beans. Fresh flavorful ingredients, rich flavors and very satisfying. Nice self serve sauce bar with seasoned yogurt, a dill ranch and good hot sauce similar to a mild harissa. Fills me up, satisfies me and then start the timer on the next 24 hrs.“

“It’s the most place to hangout and enjoy caravans meal. Great food and excellent service Caravan restaurant is the best and awesome place“

“We just had dinner here for the first time, and the food was absolutely amazing! We were warmly greeted by Vanessa, who was incredibly kind and welcoming.

We ordered the Branzino and the Chicken Combo Plate, and everything was delicious. We also tried the hummus, strawberry mojito, and baklava—each dish was full of fresh, vibrant flavors.

Thank you for the excellent food and outstanding service. Our entire experience was wonderful from start to finish.

May God shower this restaurant with blessings, prosperity, and continued success. We will definitely be back!“

“I have been here twice now and BOTH times the food was excellent. I don’t even know which one is my favorite, but you must try the fatoush salad and the mante. Not only is the food amazing but also the service! Quick, kind, and welcoming. I can’t wait to come back!“

“Hello: With my apology to the owner and staff of Darya Restaurant in Santa Monica I wrote a bad review about 12 days ago. It was my misunderstanding to write a bad review. In fact, It is a good restaurant (5 Star) with excellent, well made, good ambiance, and delicious food and a vast array of dishes on the menu. I must say that their portions are generous in comparison to prices. I ask people to give them a try at least once and see for themselves. I think they are going to be hooked. All branches are good and the Orange county branch has a great ambiance! Thank you Ms. Darya and your staff for your efforts. I will see you again, indeed. Wish you all the best to come! Homayoon Khorram“

“Great experience. Staff was very friendly and I got my take out meal from the time I ordered to the time it was in my hand in <10 min. Food was so good! We got the Meze Plate and shared it between 2 people - Should have gotten 2 orders. Will be back!“

“just check your takeout meal is complete before you leave they forgot my pita bread huhu“

“This is probably my best middle east restaurant in Los Angeles. Today I prefer to eat boiled lamb with rice . I checked near me i found Yemen Kitchen. I placed an order lamb khabsa togo and some boiled vegetables and fried chicken. Food was really cooked well and delicious. I would like to eat there . They have a good taste in their foods .“

“Clean, fresh and flavorful food - Cornish hen kabob plate and tabouli salad- was quite a nice surprise and delightful experience nestled in the heart of the Garment district.“

“Everything is perfect , me and my family love the food it’s so yummy , Thank you.“

“What a blessing it was to stop by here. What started as just a day to look for dresses, we were amazed to find this place!

Not only was the food absolutely delicious! But the owner welcomed us with open arms. Everything fresh, and made with love.

Coming from San Diego, it was a treat to be feel like we were “home”. You all have to try this beautiful business! You will savor each and every bite.

God bless you guys <3“
