Salmon dinner and beef fillet kabob dinner were both really really good. The pita bread was also excellent.

I walked in near to closing time and the staff there still greeted me with a smile and was happy to wait on me. I ordered the chicken kaboob meal, it was a decent portion and very tasty. I will definitely go back here.I was also able to charge my phone which was a plus.Thanks again

We get the $30 for couples and it's worth it! I love their food. Just perfect ?

Really enjoyed this place. Was recommended to try from our family. I only wish they would have a closer location towards the Inland Empire. While searching it seems like there is another location, but for some reason there is a Junior to this location, would love to know why that name is added here. Anyways the two people working were so nice and helpful. We wanted to sit outside, so they ended up turning on two heat lamps so that we wouldn’t be cold.The food came out fast, and the first thing that came was the hummus and pita bread we ordered, which kept us from being hungry but was really good. Keep note that some of the other dishes have pita bread so you could use those to continue to eat with the hummus. The hummus is not included in the other plates.I recommend the 2 combo, it was huge ! It had a nice pepper, some sort of sausage that was called lulu on the menu, chicken and beef, and rice. Even the rice was very flavorful. The other two things I would recommend is the lamb chops and the Beef Shawarma Fries. The Lamb chops were full of flavor and not gamey at all. The fries were crispy and the beef had a different marinade, that went really well with the fries.Overall had an amazing experience and would definitely come back again if I was in the area. Like I said I wished there was good Mediterranean food towards the inland Empire like this place. Until next time.

We arrived at 9pm after my daughter sang during the festivities of the tree lighting ceremony. The restaurant had been busy all day we learned in talking to our server. We were one of the last to order, 3 appetizers, at 9:24pm. They were excellent, though it took more than 30 minutes to receive them at 10:02pm, two, the 3rd came out 5 or so minutes later. My daughter was tired and had to work in the morning, so the long wait was especially frustrating and puzzling since there weren't many people in the restaurant and we had a 30 minute drive home. If the food had been delivered in a reasonable time this would have been a 4-5 star rating. We appreciated our server doing what she could in providing us some baklava to-go.

Great service and food. The people are friendly and accommodating. Always great to eat at your establishment (even if Adam doesn't work there anymore).

The food is fantastic. They're baba ghanoush is so good with very fresh pita bread!The fillet mignon kebab was so tender, it about melted in our mouths. Cooked to perfection. Their rice is also so good. We had a beautiful lady serve us. She was helpful with the menu. This was my husband and my first time here. She even gave us complimentary baklava!Very cute place. Super nice design and very clean. Can't wait to get back and try more entrées.

The diplomat Junior came highly recommended. Everything I was told was true. The food was excellently prepared and delicious. The service was gracious and quick. A special shout out to the appetizer sampler. The vegan menu is extensive. Finding a place for family that has delicious food and a variety of vegan choices is very difficult.

I was seated outside, once again, and I literally heard people on the sidewalk walk by saying, "This place is so good!" I agree, it's not only good, it's fantastic!If you don't know what to get, try the combination platter for two; it has the right mix of "everything." If you're extra hungry, get the appetizer platter for two. To be honest, you could order this for four people and might need to take some leftovers back to devour later.I don't always eat rice, but when I do, it's from The Diplomat (did you like my dos equis impersonation?). This is by far the best tasting, fluffiest, moist, and damn-near perfect rice I've ever had. Not only do they soak it overnight, you can tell by the taste there is something different about it... it's made with love.Order a large Toum (garlic sauce). In typical Nike mantra, Just Do It. Not only will you fight off vampires, afrit, stryx, empousai, mormou, vyrkolakas, sarkamenos, stregoi and nosferatu, you'll enjoy the extra flavor and kick that compliments anything on The Diplomat's menu! If you take a date to The Diplomat, be sure you both eat some Toum or you're going to be very lonely the rest of the evening.If you like lamb, you'll love the lamb chops. That's all I'm going to say about that; you can thank me later.Parking can get tight since they share a close parking lot with other businesses, but it's not a bad thing to have to walk a bit and get your steps in. That means you'll just HAVE to have a piece of baklava to end your dining experience with the perfect finale!

My parents got takeout here and it was amazing. The cauliflower is the best and the flavors of everything are very spice-filled and aromatic. The meats were tender and juicy even despite taking it home! My dad said the workers were very friendly as well. We will be coming back! Amazing food and service!

I love this place. The food is always delicious and the staff is always friendly. It does get busy during peak hours so service tends to slow down at those times.
