Very adorable Middle-Eastern restaurant hidden in Encino. Very fresh and high quality foods, uniquely & deliciously flavored! A MUST VISIT LOCATION! Amazingly priced for the quality you get. My favorite is the chicken kebab (so moist & juicy), fattoush salad (quality fresh veggies & crunchy bread - others should learn!), hummus (without garlic, so you can enjoy during lunch meetings 🙂), and can't forget the cheese boregs (definitely a must try at least once). We also love the tikka (filet mignon steak, marinated with unique flavors... it's so soft, melts-in-your mouth delicious)! Fyi: on the side, the owner caters high-end special events all over Cali (Malibu, Calabasas, Laguna beach, Newport, Fresno, Beverly Hills, Simi Valley, etc...). I follow them on Instagram - the grazing tables, display of foods is AMAZING!!! It's honestly the most entertaining Instagram site! I highly recommend trying Esso Mediterranean Bistro at least once... you'll be hooked!

I got take it for my girlfriend there. She said it was delicious. The other people picking up food were friendly. We were chatting it up. That's why I put 5 stars for atmosphere. I put 3 stars for service because the staff wasn't very friendly. If the staff was more friendly, we'd would probably become regulars. I don't feel comfortable eating at places where the staff seems like they don't like me. I like to feel special. My money is selfish. I'll go back for take out again if my girlfriend wants it, that decide wherever I not I'm go back again

Very delicious food! As Middle Eastern I have a hard time finding a good place that make good Mediterranean food but this one was the best out of many I have tried in the valley👍🏻. It was my first time trying it and It’s not going to be my last time ordering from here. I highly recommend it

Absolutely delicious kebab! The flavors were spot on, perfectly seasoned, and the meat was so tender and juicy. I can honestly say it’s one of the best kebabs I’ve ever had in California!!

I was just close by at the Plaza and wasn't planning on eating here. I just walked in because it was the closest to the store that I got out of. The food was really good. I ordered some sort of kebab, rice, and salad, which was all on one dish. Only $18 and I that was a lot of food. Great food and service. Thank you Esso Mediterranean bistro!

While the food ( grilled seabass) and steak is quite tasty, service is a LONG process. The first time we called to place an order, we were told it would take two and a half hours!! So we did not order that day. We tried a few days later, the time to wait was an hour ( we called at opening time).. so be prepared for nice tasting food, though not cheap, and only if you have lots of patience!

They get 3 stars because the food is delicious. I have made three attempts to order from them and have been treated less than welcoming. I feel like I'm intruding on them when I go there and it almost feels like they're unhappy because I'm wasting their time. I wish I had the guts to go back because I love their food but probably won't. Life is too short.
