the best rice you'll ever have, idk what they put in it but it's delicious. the hummus and all the entrees I've tried are amazing too. I keep coming back for the quality food and most welcoming service

I've been coming here for years and I LOVE their food! The chicken kabob plate is delicious and the cheese boreg, among many other things. Definitely a place I tell my friends about and one worth trying.

Great little place you wouldn't notice in a mini mall but great food. Your basic LA Mediterranean fair but didn't taste old or dry like some places can be.

Literally the best Mediterranean food I’ve found in Southern California!! Absolutely delicious and authentic. We had Kibbe balls, the combination plate and tea, which had fresh mint and lemon. Fantastic, Must try!

Excellent Mediterranean food! The best we’ve found in the valley. We had the chicken kabob and falafels. Both were outstanding. Very friendly and fast service.

Food here is fantastic. Ordered it once when we moved to the area and tried to order it 2 more times since then but they keep cancelling my Postmates/Grubhub. I went in to the store and they said they had to cancel my order (2 sandwiches) because they were too busy. If I can get them to take my order I will happily order again!

Beautiful kebabs served by a beautiful couple. This is one of those hidden gems. From the outside in the strip mall it doesn't look delicious but looks are deceiving.. This place is phenomenal. Probably the best chicken kebab I've ever had. I ordered it reluctantly, because my buddy wanted to get one I'm normally not the biggest fan but I can't wait to go back and get more, we had the Raw beef and the kibbe and the hummus. Delicious delicious delicious. For dessert baklava was fantastic walking and I didn't think I'd be posting on yelp, but it would be a sin to not let the world know what a gem is sitting right there in Encino.

Decided to go to this restaurant as it was near our AirBnB whilst we were staying in LA. The restaurant was very quiet when we arrived. They were about to close but they stayed open for us. We had no idea what to expect but the food ended up being very tasty. Only the son of the owner was there as the waiter and chef. He was friendly and gave us recommendations as we were unfamiliar with the cuisine. All in all, both the service and the food were great!

Always consistent, always delicious food. This place never disappoints! I love their fattoush salad with chicken and the dolmas (stuffed grape leaves).
