“What an unforgettable dinner! Everything was flawless—a perfect 10 out of 10! The food was absolutely delicious, the hostess was incredibly warm and welcoming, and our server provided impeccable service all night long. The restaurant has such a charming, elegant ambiance, and every single detail was spot on. I already can’t wait to come back—highly recommended!I have to give a special shoutout to the lamb. I’m usually not a fan of lamb, but this was the first time I've ever had it cooked so perfectly, and it completely changed my perspective. The side dishes were rich, the drinks were amazing, and every single dish we tried was bursting with flavor“

“This might be a new spot for us before we head to LAX for flights!!
Stopped here before flying out for dinner and the food was amazing. We got the beef stew with black lime and a chicken shawarma dish. Both so flavorful and generous portions! Their rice is amazing!! We also got their house drinks, the mint cooler and orange blossom sekanjebin. Very aromatic and refreshing. It was nice to have a good meal on the flight for a snack. Very cute and homey ambiance and cute branding. They have cool totes I dunno if they sell them but the stickers they have on the cups would be great merch!!
I would definitely recommend this place!!“

“Always a good interaction when coming to Z Falafel. The cooks are such nice guys and always so helpful when I may ask about one of their many options on the menu. I always try to switch up my plate when I come here and not once have I had a disappointing meal from this location. Keep going hard!“

“An absolutely wonderful dining experience at Orla by Michael Mina! Everything was exceptional, from the food and presentation to the service and overall atmosphere.

We had the lamb chops and the snapper, and both were outstanding… beautifully prepared and full of flavor. And whatever you do, save room for dessert! The Baklava Sundae was absolutely amazing and the perfect way to cap off the meal.

Orla is definitely worth a visit, and I highly recommend it!“

“Very impressed with Javan! Service was so helpful and friendly, especially our server Victor. The food was outstanding and so fresh. The combination of flavors in the Alex salad was absolutely outstanding. Our vegetarian Koobideh was delicious. The hummus and babaganoush were perfect. Thank you - we will be back!“

I tried different sides and I enjoyed every single one. I have recommended to friends and family who'd love a delicious, flavorful meal with excellent service.“

“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. !!!!!!“

“I love this place and come constantly. The food and service are fabulous. The staff are extremely friendly and the atmosphere is so beautiful. I really wanted to give five stars, but I just wish the owner would fix the A/C. I feel really bad that the staff have to work in such hot temperatures in the summer, especially the gentleman working the grill. Please fix it for them and I'll be happy to leave another 5-star review :)“

“Hello: With my apology to the owner and staff of Darya Restaurant in Santa Monica I wrote a bad review about 12 days ago. It was my misunderstanding to write a bad review. In fact, It is a good restaurant (5 Star) with excellent, well made, good ambiance, and delicious food and a vast array of dishes on the menu. I must say that their portions are generous in comparison to prices. I ask people to give them a try at least once and see for themselves. I think they are going to be hooked. All branches are good and the Orange county branch has a great ambiance! Thank you Ms. Darya and your staff for your efforts. I will see you again, indeed. Wish you all the best to come!

“The family and I decided to stop by and grab Mediterranean food and my husband brought me by his spot he has been going to for 1 yeah or+ years. Upon entering you get greeted by the sweetest owner and staff. The menu is quite extensive and has variety of things from kabob plates to wraps; then burgers and vegetarian options. I ended up getting the lamb and beef kabob plate with hummus and rice. I also got a side of falafel and some fries to share with the family. The hubby got the beef kabob plate and we shared with the girls. Portions were quite filling and more then enough for our family , hummus was so good. Everything is fresh and house made to the sauces that come with it. The garlic being some of my favorite. This family owned place serves really good food and made sure the family was fed and happy. Definitely recommend and absolutely coming back.“

“Great experience. Staff was very friendly and I got my take out meal from the time I ordered to the time it was in my hand in <10 min. Food was so good! We got the Meze Plate and shared it between 2 people - Should have gotten 2 orders. Will be back!“

Which the Permited kitchen actually is the chefs home adding the extra layer of hospitality, unlike anything else . The from Scratch Dinner experience offered a variety of different cultural foods from Palestine, Summer shared stories with us about her culture , history, and her upbringing. Making the Food so much more special, knowing that is made with love and it's her form of resistance against oppression that she offers to the world . 20% of the proceeds are donated to Palestinian families, who are experiencing extreme hardships due to the Ongoing G3n!cide in Her Homeland. Thank you Chef summer, for welcoming us into your home and feeding us .“

“I’ve been coming to Z Garden for years and it never disappoints. The falafel is absolutely delicious—crunchy on the outside, tender inside, and seriously mouthwatering. The chicken shawarma plates are just as good: savory, flavorful, and always satisfying. Great Mediterranean food, generous plates, and the kind of neighborhood spot I’m always happy to come back to.“

“Food was delicious , menu had so much to choose from“

“What a blessing it was to stop by here. What started as just a day to look for dresses, we were amazed to find this place!

Not only was the food absolutely delicious! But the owner welcomed us with open arms. Everything fresh, and made with love.

Coming from San Diego, it was a treat to be feel like we were “home”. You all have to try this beautiful business! You will savor each and every bite.

God bless you guys <3“

“Today I visited another Persian restaurant in a different city, and naturally I compared it to yours. It reminded me that your restaurant truly deserves a second review.

I can’t wait to return to Los Angeles and dine at your restaurant again. Your food, quality, and hospitality are truly unforgettable.“

“Super Deli! 100% recomendado 😋“

“Taste of Tehran was my first time eating at a restaurant in Tehrangeles, and it was an awesome choice. This was definitely one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants I've been to in LA. Everything was so great. And yes, I ate a lot of food on the first day here. I started off with some of the stews that included gormeh sabzi, the gheyme, and ash reshteh, which were all very tasty. The surprise hit to me was the Lentil Quinoa Salad. Seriously, one of the best salads I've ever had. It was sweet, refreshing, and savory all at the same time. No words to describe. And then the meats: the koobideh and soltani plate, just fabulous, along with that lentil rice. I can honestly say that Persians make the best rice out of all Middle Eastern countries! Even the barberry rice was amazing. Never had a rice this sweet and fruity before! Overall, an amazing experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Don't be fooled by the looks of this place. It looks like a quick, over the counter order type of restaurant, but the food is top notch. Even Anthony Bourdain has been here! I shot a Youtube video of my experience here, which you can see on my Youtube channel, Rockstar Eater.“
