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

“This place is the bomb!

Healthy good wholesome Mediterranean food

We had a cashier server named Tiani. She was so kind to my wife and I, gave us sincere service with a smile and checked on us after we started the grub fest just because.

She also gave us recommendations and insight on the differences between the spices for the chicken

It was A1 customer service so Thank You CM and Tiani!!

Not only is the food delicious, but they had tunes playing at lunch time, classics from Prince to other ones I can’t even name, nice and steady.“

“This was my first time eating here. I must say the food was amazing. I'm used to going to Westwood for my Persian food however having this spot in the neighborhood is fantastic. They serve the same food here as they do in Westwood. Check out the menu it's amazing. I had an opportunity to meet with Reza the owner Chef a super nice guy.“

“Great kebabs, and the BEST Persian ice cream!“

“Great, healthy, flavorful food!“

“We ordered this takeout. I must say, even with a 15 minute drive home, the food was delicious. The food was very, very tasty and cooked to perfection. It was a little pricey but worth it.“

“We are blessed to have this King Mediterráneo in Torrance. The food is delicious and very generous on the portion served. When I go there, I always try to say hello to Ara or Norah. It is such a pleasure to see and talk to them, they make me feel that we are long time friends. For sure I recommend this place and give them a FIVE STAR rating. I assure you will not be disappointed. !!!!!!“

“Love love this little gem. The food was amazing. The owner was so kind. I felt like I was in someone's home. They way they served our food, and brought it out to us. Felt like aunty was cooking just for us. We love you guys so much. And I will definitely be coming back more regularly. Viva Palestina!!!!“

“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.“

“Just stopped by to try them out for first time. Glad I did! Had the zereshk polo with chicken… top notch! Their rice and zereshk were great, but the chicken was super juicy and tender and they even have a tomato salsa that helps replace the need for my love of extra grilled tomatoes. Great service from Angie and the other great lady working too. Won’t be the last time I go there!!“

“Delicious food and friendly workers“

“I had the Chicken Kabob plare with Hummus and Maison Rice. The food was delicious. The chicken included a skewer with one little mushroom, one cherry size tomatoe, a sliver of red bell pepper and a small sliver of red onion. The vegetables kabob was delicious but such a tiny portion. I would have liked a full side of the grilled vegetables (4 skewers) which is not on the menu. Next time I visit I hope they make an exception and allow me to add the extra vegetable kabobs to my order.“

“Had it yesterday for the first time and loved it,will be back again with out any question.“

“The market is a very pleasant place to be on a Saturday the fruit corner is very good and I buy my best Fuji apples there and best tangerines and peaches. I enjoy the experience a lot. There is a place for kids to run and play and comfortable tables to have a delicious meal bought at the market. I recommend the coffee there too and the bread. Enjoy the experience.“

“Delicious food and quite healthy too…“

“Chicken Dijon in Torrance, has really great food, the employees are always friendly, smiles and accommodating. I have been going for several years and will continue to patron this location. I also found them very smart in proving a free drink for a yelp. I think a trend offering this type of promotion would be good business.“

“Great food! Had the chicken shawarma and really enjoyed it. It came with pita bread, garlic dip, and two sides. There’s a long list of sides to choose from so you can mix and match to your desire. The chicken was tasty, juicy, and has the perfect char from cooking on the spit. The portion was very large and filled me up with some leftovers.
Staff was very friendly! Will be coming back and trying other items.“

“The food tasted and looked great. Large portions and seemingly fresh ingredients.“

“delicious food , service with a smile . Friendly place, warm atmosphere. Will be back. I recommend it😁👍👍👍“

“This is a small spot for eating middle eastern grilled dishes. We had the lamb chops and minced meat kebab. If you like Turkish or Persian or Middle East style dishes this is a good place. You will have to buy a beverage ($4 or $5 for soft drink) since they don’t offer free water. Parking is free at the strip mall lot.“

“Very good food and service“
