I’ve been in LA for six months and let me tell you this is the best food I’ve had in LA so far!!! And I am a big big foodie and tried so many restaurants! The Kobab is soooo good and flavorful! Definitely going back!!

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!
