“Got there right at closing time with our online order mistakenly scheduled for the next day, and manager Juan and server Vanessa could not have been more gracious and professional in how they handled the situation. They rallied to make sure I got the wrap I ordered for my son, and I am extremely grateful for the team taking the time to make him a delicious meal even after all the food was put away for the night. Kudos and thank you!“

“Orla did not disappoint! Based on my experience at Mother Tongue and … by Michael Mina restaurant has earned a I will 100% try it and trust it to be excellent. As I said Orla lives up, from the views to the impeccable service, this place could get a pass on a miss on a food item. We went for Thanksgiving so it was a different menu than usual, and honestly all the items were spectacular, except the Turkey that only one person got, so I’ll overlook that slightly dry Turkey and still go with a must visit on this one. Price points are high, but this is in a Regent and the atmosphere and service can warrant the price tag. Treat yourself!!! Michael Mina has delivered once again.
10/10 - GO

Dietary restrictions: Something for everyone here, service was so on top of any allergies, etc.

Parking: Valet, excellent service, restaurant validates to a reasonable discount“

“The outside look of this restaurant does not represent the Inside. Very lovely décor inside. Lunch was pretty busy but service is great. Food does not take long.
I had Ghormeh Sabzi. The stew as its described, is different from my understanding. Basically had one type of herb and meat plus the sauce. The sauce taste very strong. I cannot describe the flavor.
The prices are not bad. Very reasonable.
Stick with the Kabobs.“

“Came on a Saturday to enjoy Mediterranean BBQ. Staff was amicable, a little slow in serving and taking orders and came to our table with someone else's order. I would highly recommend they do a number system (assign table number to customers for staff to reduce confusion). It was decent food, spices and grilled veggies were good. Chicken was a little thick and hard to cook all the way through those meats. Steak was a bit dry. Seasoned fries and hummus, Pita bread was good. Ambiance was settle, no music or noises. A little pricy but portions are good. Clean establishment. Parking can be a little tight in the parking lot.“

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

“The food was great Loved the lamb gyros.“

“Delicious!!!!! I want to try everything on the menu!!! Order the Adas rice, amazing!!“

“DELICIOUS 😋HEALTHY FOOD AND VERY NICE AND FRIENDLYCUSTOMER SERVICE .“

“Have you ever entered a business and immediately feel like you just walked into your home where family is waiting to greet you? That was the very feeling I had when I stopped by the NoHo Cafe today. I knew the food was good as I used the delivery service before. Today I decided to visit the Cafe and I promise I’ll continue going frequently. The food is delicious but what won me over was the welcome and love you experience when you walk in the door. The staff is amazing... the Cafe has a very “welcome home” atmosphere. The complimentary cup of soup is AWESOME. I sat at a corner table allowing me to do what I love...watch people. As I enjoyed my delicious first meal of 2020 I watched as every person who entered was treated with care and joy. Just like being home the staff will keep checking to see if the food is ok and if you need anything. The NoHo Cafe is a place I recommend to anyone wishing to enjoy a good meal and to experience a “welcome home” feeling. Thank you NoHo Cafe for starting my 2020 with a reminder of the importance of kindness.“

“Combination of new management and new ownership makes it very well and highly recommended. Because of my excellent experience of the Brentwood location, just wanted to see, how is the new location. I'm glad, i had a chance to get another excellent experience one more time here in Beverly ����“

“The cashier was rude , I asked her if they sold carne asada fries. She pointed to the menu. I said it only says nachos. She replied " no" our Antonio's nachos are fries. How would I know that! I'm not a regular customer. And with that type of customer service surely I will not be a regular customer.“
