“It was lunch time on a Tuesday and no one was there. The neighboring establishments were busy so I decided to try this since I needed a quicker lunch to get back to a work meeting. It was not quick. That’s a “me” problem. But I was surprised it was 20 minutes for my one order. A bit overpriced for the basic format of the restaurant. Tasty food and the manager appeared to have a friendly relationship with a regular that came in which is normally a good sign.“

“Very great place to eat, I just went there today the salad is so good!! 🤗❤️“

“The best gyros I've ever tasted.“

“Delicious food and quite healthy too…“

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

“If you’re reading this, here’s the short version: this is easily one of the best restaurants in Culver City, and you need to try it now!

It’s a small spot in downtown Culver City that you could walk past without noticing. I’m glad I didn’t. There are a couple of tables outside, but most of the seating is indoors. The space is modern, clean, and relaxing.

We ordered three dishes, all recommended by our waiter. The mussel toast is a must. Every bite is savory and packed with seafood flavor. For mains, we had the short rib and rainbow trout. The short rib was perfection. Cooked over fire and served with crispy potato strings. It’s something you get at high-end steakhouse but at half the price. The rainbow trout looked beautiful and tasted fresh, though the citrus was a bit stronger than I prefer.

For dessert, we couldn’t resist the churro and ice cream sandwich. The ice cream (another must try), sourced from a Persian maker, was rich with rose, honey, and pistachio. The presentation was just as impressive. The churros were decent, though I wished they were crispier and the dipping sauce was thicker.

Overall, I’d give this place a solid five stars. The food is close to Michelin quality without the Michelin prices. Go and you won’t be disappointed.“

“This restaurant was absolutely perfect! Loved the outdoor dining and how you could see the kitchen. My friend got their wine flight which apparently was good, and they have nonalcoholic wine! The food was delicious, we got 5 plates and dessert for 4 people. The strawberry apricot meringue tart was insane. Thank you!!!“

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

“This is a very popular place as it gets crowded even before normal dinner time. The semi-indoor/outdoor seating area is clean and relaxing.“

“The Fig Restaurant is located in the Fairmont Hotel. The service was excellent, the food outstanding. The overall atmosphere was lovely. My photo is of the beautiful fig tree that stands at the hotel entrance. That alone is worth a visit for some :) We’ll be happy to come back.“

“Elijah and the crew at Luna Grill are wonderful and nice! The food was delicious 😋 I’m definitely coming again! Thank you😊“

“This restaurant has excellent choice of delicious Lebanese food, beverages and desserts. Every thing is authentically signed (961) 🇱🇧🇱🇧“

“This sharwama restaurant is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Middle Eastern flavors. The shawarma is perfectly seasoned and juicy, wrapped in fresh bread with crisp veggies and a tangy sauce. The falafel is also fantastic—crispy outside, tender inside, and packed with flavor. Portions are generous, and the hummus is smooth and balanced. With a cozy atmosphere and friendly staff, and also offers a delightful experience at a great value. Highly recommend!“

“I really love this place. It feels like you’re walking into a special place somewhere in Europe. And it’s tucked away enough to not be super touristy and crowded. The staff always greets us with a smile, and the vibe is just perfection. The indoor area has such a cool atmosphere, and the outdoor tables are on the water. You can NOT go wrong here.“

“How can I say this...I love Hummus House and have for years! The food is delicious and has never disappointed. I go every chance I go to Hawthorne.“

“5-star alert! My wife surprised me with this delicious Tunisian restaurant on Father’s Day! It was like an exotic trip to Mediterranean North Africa. The servers were good and the owner was super friendly and helpful! We had prawns, fish, lamb, cauliflowers, and the infamous Hand of Fatima. Everything was delicious, with unique flavors and beautifully presented. The sauces were so unique and flavorful, we had 3 orders of bread as we want to enjoy more of the flavors in every dish!“

“We tried the falafel, pita, and hummus and it was amazing! It is one of the best hummus I’ve had- the texture was so smooth and delicious. They are serving out of the Colony food kitchen on Lincoln Blvd in Venice, and we just happened to walk by. Highly recommend!“

“I recently purchased food from here while attending a conference in the city of Los angeles. It was truly fall off the bone deliciously seasoned chicken. The chicken was tender and juicy. It was a little difficult to separate out some of the smaller Bones from the half chicken but I got through it and enjoyed that I could rend the flesh with my hands because I did not have a knife and fork (I do not mind this it made me feel cool to eat it manually). The bread was spectacular and was baked to a degree of fluffiness that I have not experienced in another bread. I got it with hummus and pickled turnips which were pretty delectable, very toothesome and vibrantly colored. The sauces I chose were the tahini and the red sauce which were both nice accents on the food. I also got a delicious mint lemonade which was the perfect amount of sweet and tart with a nice cool mint flavor.

It is so difficult nowadays to find truly authentic Middle Eastern food, oftentimes it is just a poor imitation co-opted and misappropriated by people from northern Europe who think they have a claim to the land. That's why I am so glad you have gotten food from Jerusalem Chicken where I could tell it was cooked by people truly native to the land.“

“Friendly, accommodating staff and great, healthy food 😊“

“Delicious food and friendly workers“

“Everything ; food; service“

“The atmosphere at this place is wonderful—warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax. The hookah is excellent, with a variety of flavors. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy good food, great ambiance, and top-notch hookah!“

“I’ve seen this place since 2017 but never decided to eat here once I found out it was a Greek restaurant (at that point I thought they just served chopped up grilled chicken on top of bowls of salads with olives) but boy was I wrong.
The service is as good as the food, both magnificent. I finally came here because of LATryGuy on YouTube review in one of his YouTube channel shorts and when I saw the chicken I said “OH it’s like Dino’s Greek style chicken with the seasoning and lemon juice on the bed of fries at Dino’s restaurant) I tried both types of lemon garlic chicken meals at Maisons so far the regular and spicy (which it’s actually not that spicy at all) and they were good. The gyro is good too, I’m just disappointed they have not re-upped on the LEGENDARY LAMB CHOPS for months after the review. Next I have to try the shrimp pasta like LA TRY Guy reviewed he said it was a 10/10 for everything.“

“The decor made you think you were on vacation. The food took your tastebuds to a whole other level of flavor! This place went above all my expectations. Everyone should try to visit @PalomaVenice“

“Cevapi is almost like eating it in Sarajevo a few years ago.“

“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! 🙂“

“So I’ll start this by saying that I’ve eaten a lot of gyros in my life. I like gyros. So when I saw there was a spot near me serving gyros, it really excited me and filled a craving that I had for awhile.
I got two lamb gyros with feta cheese and extra tomato/onions. I was greeted with a smile and a laugh from an extremely nice couple. They got my food to me quick and I devoured both. Honestly I could’ve just done one with how big they were.

Here are the takeaways: great food, great service, and great prices. That’s all I need“

“Food and armosphere was perfect. The seating area outside was as if we were transported to a different location. The service was good, well taken care of by multiple people. Wish we had 1 clear/set server. Had no silverware on table and had to ask for napkins.“

“Cava is a very healthy alternative to other restaurants, and their bowls are highly customizable with many options and toppings. It’s a great place to stop and grab quick take out as a college student. It’s the place where all my friends into health foods like to go, and even if you’re not into health foods, there are many options that are tasty. The pita is also amazing!!!“

“I love Cravings’ food and the fact that it has so many options to pick from. Their menu has a great variety, it’s quite impressive. Shane and his wife are very friendly and provide a great service. I have ordered meals from daily lunch to catering food for the office and the food is always delicious. I highly recommend this place. Prices are accessible too.“

“Great place, friendly service, amazing food and a happy hour“

“Me and my friends went to Calabra for sunset and had the best experience. Our server, Danil, was amazing. He went above and beyond, especially when one of us asked for a drink that wasn’t on the menu. His recommendations were spot on, and we loved the seafood tower. Overall, the service from the entire staff was excellent. Other servers checked in on us, cleared plates promptly, and brought the bill without delay. Danil’s attention and friendliness truly made our visit extra special. 🤩“

“The staff here is really kind. They work very hard and are super nice. The owner needs to compensate them better and more fairly or hire more people to help them because it seems they are always busy and stretched thin but still do their very, very best.

As far as the food, it is very overpriced. You don't seem to receive your money's worth but it is still fresh and not too bad in the taste department.

The atmosphere feels tiny but is quite cozy as a result.

Overall, I would return but maybe not frequently. The people working here are the best part of the experience and they deserve better pay and more help.“

“delicious food in a beautiful setting.“

“Very good food healthy for diabete people“

“Everything was good and the food was prepared quickly!“

“This place ROCKS. We came in right before take out dinner rush but we decided to eat in. It was hot out but they quickly turned on the AC for us. While we had to wait a little bit for our food to come out, it was WORTH IT. You could tell everything was super fresh.

Best baba ghanoush we’ve ever had! Get the family appetizer platter to give it all a try. Super cheap, super fresh, kind and lovely folks. Go support Rosemary Grill!“
