“We had a 9PM, Sunday reservation at Sora Craft Kitchen, and when we first pulled up, we genuinely thought we were at the wrong place. The surrounding area is very dark and industrial at night, there were barely any cars around, and from the outside you would never expect what’s waiting for you inside.
The second we walked in, it was a completely different atmosphere. It was quiet and super ambient. One thing that immediately surprised me was that it didn’t smell like at all. We were greeted by the chef himself, and seeing him prepare everything right in front of us made the experience even more special. He was essentially running the kitchen himself, yet every dish came out surprisingly fast, fresh, and beautifully prepared.
We started with the Dry-Aged Tenderloin Shish Kebab, and that alone immediately set the tone for dinner. The beef was incredibly flavorful and tender.
Then the chef brought out the Mastabe and PLEASE!! If you come here, ORDER THIS. It ended up becoming the staple of our entire dinner. It’s this creamy house-made yogurt, we literally started adding it to EVERYTHING. The garlicky, creamy freshness somehow complemented every meat and every dish without overpowering anything.
Next came the Siverek Tava, and this one completely blew me away. The combination of ground beef, tomato, and roasted eggplant was incredible. My boyfriend HATES eggplant. Like, refuses to order anything with eggplant level of hate. Even he was shocked at how good it was and how perfectly the eggplant worked with the beef. Huge props to the chef because changing someone's mind about an ingredient they swear they hate says a lot.
The Grilled Branzino came next and was a perfect change of pace. Simple, fresh, perfectly grilled, and topped with vegetables. After all the richer flavors, the fish felt light and refreshing while still having plenty of flavor.
Then we had the Icli Kofte, which might have been one of the biggest surprises of the night. I wasn't expecting such an explosion of flavor from this dish.
Our last savory dish was the Garlic-Spiced Kebab. At this point I was so full and genuinely thought there was no way I was going to finish another dish... and then I kept eating it. It was smoky, garlicky, juicy, and so flavorful that I literally couldn't stop.
And somehow we still made room for dessert.
We finished with the Cheese Halva with Yuzu–Black Sesame Ice Cream, and it was the PERFECT ending. The warm cheese halva practically melted in our mouths. While the ice cream had this refreshing flavor that reminded us of mint and pistachio. The pistachio pieces underneath added the perfect crunch and texture to balance everything out.
What impressed me most about Sora wasn't just one specific dish. It was how thoughtfully everything paired together. Every dish tasted completely different. Nothing felt generic or like something you could order at any other restaurant. You can genuinely taste the freshness and the amount of thought the chef puts into the flavors, textures, and pairings.
Don't let the location fool you. Once you walk through those doors, it's this little hidden gem where the food completely speaks for itself.
Mastabe is NON-NEGOTIABLE. Order it and put it on everything.
Such an amazing dinner and the perfect way to end our day. We left ridiculously full and already talking about coming back. Easily one of the best meals we've had so far.“

“WOW this might be one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Such an unassuming place, order at a window and take to go or sit at a picnic table on the sidewalk. I was blown away. The chicken was so tender and flavorful and the sauces were bomb. The owner is so friendly too. Great service and seriously delicious food.“

“Haig’s Kabob House is hands down the best for BBQ! I ordered takeout for a party of six, and the staff was super professional and understanding. My order was ready right on time, no issues at all.We got beef lule kebobs, chicken breast skewers, and beef filet mignon skewers—everything was juicy, fresh, perfectly seasoned, and cooked exactly how we wanted. The texture and flavor were amazing.They also have fresh salads and appetizers that go great with the meal. The place itself is very clean, organized, and welcoming.Thank you, Haig’s Kabob House, for the great food and service!“

“HOLY MOTHER OF GOD THESE ARE AMAZING!
Best kebab in the city. Hardwood smoked fresh, they only put on your order when you make it. Great Ayran too.
It’s a truck so the ambience is the street - but the people watching and vibe around here is awesome.
Keep coming back cause it’s so good would highly recommend.“

“Seems like a training day. When you are a new customer and you order a plate, you have no idea what comes with it and no explanation. I ordered a two meat chicken beef combo and was asked if I wanted meat. It was off but the food was delicious...“
“My husband and I visited our favorite spot, Yerevan Shawarma! It’s our absolute favorite place in Los Angeles. They make amazing shawarma—we’ve ordered it many times, and it’s always top-notch. They even treated us to some delicious *okroshka* since we’re regulars. Highly recommended!“

“Skaf's has made me LOVE Lebanese food when I've never been a fan of Mediterranean at all! The food is so fresh and seasoned well. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. It's real easy to enjoy good food here when the atmosphere is so warm and inviting. Perfect spot whether you want to eat with a small group of friends or alone while working on your laptop.“

“Have gotten takeout from here a number of times. Never disappointed. Flavorful chicken that's nice and tender, ingredients always seem fresh.
All of the sauces are very tasty and they are very generous with them. The chicken plate and The Get Greeky bowl are, so far, my favorites. Pricing is fair compared to some other places.
Staff is friendly and attentive.“

“They have free parking lot. Table is limited so might have to wait if you get unlucky. All the skewers reasonably priced, well seasoned, and decent size. But I think it’s less variety than other skewers places. Overall, good dinner place and would recommend to visit.“

“This is the best and worth the wait. It's practically 2 servings so don't think it's expensive, it's perfect. Delicious sauces. Perfect. Guys are nice, too. I messed up and paid with the wrong app (use Zelle, NOT Venmo) and the owner helped to fix it right away. He didn't have to do that. These are good guys making good food. Support local businesses, support Cosmodrome LA!“

“When I first found out I could get my favorite Persian soup — the dreamy herby barley packed ASH-E-JO — delivered from Little Tehran up to my place in hills via DOORDASH, I was excited. The soup was everything I hoped for. I just ordered it again tonight. Hooray for LAZIZ GRILL and @doordash“

“Kabob Village never disappoints! The kabobs were incredibly juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. Every dish was fresh, well-seasoned, and absolutely delicious. The staff was extra friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. Excellent food, outstanding service, and a great overall experience. I highly recommend Kabob Village in Glendale and will definitely be coming back!“
“I got introduced to stocker market 2 months ago, they are a friendly family owned market. Varooj and his wife does the kitchen orders. Had the great recipe passed down b generations. This was the first place I’ve seen the Armenian spaghetti (Macaron) sold freshly prepared. Her cooking is awesome and the store has all the specialty Armenian products. Support the family markets trying to service their community and are doing an amazing job. They are not as expensive as the bigger stores. They also have koobideh at $7 a pound. Fantastic price and done properly. Thank you for doing what you do!“

“Had their skewers and dry pot delivered, and honestly one of the best drypots I've ever had (i eat malatang every single week). Spicy, numbing, savory, and balanced. A lot of other dry pots tend to be sesame forward, but I liked that they stayed true to the mala chili oil. It was still so good the day after omg I still dream about it“

“Certainly not the only one, but definitely a wonderful choice to get Mediterranean food for lunch or a quick dinner. The place is located in a a cute little building (missed it on the first drive-by) with a mini garden to sit outside at one of four tables. The food is delicious, freshly prepared, cleanly presented. Hit on the menu - I was told - is the Chipotle Chicke. I went for the lamb gyros and the spinach dip - and loved both: Everything was tasty - and good to come back another time - so four stars :-) Now, thank you for reading my comment. Now, if you are curious enough about my "rating scheme", here's "the moment of truth. I am a music photographer who travels the world with the worlds greatest musical talents (Michael Jackson, AC/DC, Rolling Stones or Rammstein, to name a few) for almost 40 years. When being asked "where do you live" I tended to ask "in hotels". At my peak, I "shot" 250 shows a year. Will say: been there, saw and tasted it, and a lot, as I may say and much to the dismay of my doctor who is in my back to lose a few pounds. Quite a few, as I may add, which is why my wife and I walk ten thousand steps per day, where- and whenever we can - and explore a lot of new exciting places - places you may oversee when just driving by. While I love to share my experience with others, I am sometimes shocked how people use their "power of word" to down-rate amazing places because of minor incidents (in my all time favourite restaurant Le Petit Four on Sunset Plaza the owner was even called a racist as he refused to toast the (free) bread in his packed restaurant - they simply do not offer toasted bread, as no French place does, as I may add). Or I just read "Chicken piccata so over-salted I hope the dog enjoys the leftovers tomorrow, I brought home most of the dish." Did they speak to their service? How could the restaurant learn that something was wrong when patrons even have their leftovers boxed to take home? As a dog owner, I want to take the writer and shake him or her really bad and say "you give over-salted food to your dog? Anyone with a bit of brain understands this is a horrible idea... I hope you agree. So If I had the say on this portal, I would offer just to see ratings of my friends. So I would see what the ratings were by like-minded people. Sadly, I have no say. I try not to compare apples with oranges. A place like this simply does not compare to "The Ritz". At first, I assume that a restaurant is clean, they do not greet you with a gun - and they deliver whatever they promise. I do not give stars for things that are expected. In my rating scheme, three or more stars are awarded if they actually exceeded my expectation. Four, if I am sure I will come back. To achieve five stars, I must be willing to take a detour of thirty minutes or more to go again. Again, thank you for reading this.“

“Had the beef and chicken kabob wraps with fries, very good and tasty food! Very fresh as well. Super clean restaurant, wasn't too busy which was surprising but I guess I am years late to the hype. Really good food compared to what we get in Canada, I will definitely come back on my next Cali trip because the food was definitely worth it. Sucks that the location is kind of out of the way of most things, but if you're going to Universal or Warner Bros, this is not too far out of the way in a more local residential part of California, giving you the at home vibes you miss during your vacationing or getaway trips.“

“Great food in a run-down shopping center in koreatown. A nice departure from standard Korean BBQ. Food is a bit pricey but it's really solid. the grills have little automatic skewer rotator mechanisms which are super cool and the staff are very helpful. Great! Vegetarian options and the kitchen cooked dishes are really impressive.“
