“The little plates are yummy. I love the pita bread that came with the hummus (Salatim plate). The other plates were good also. I loved the bread pudding (I think it's better than the best cake). What I like the most about Bacari, besides the beautiful ambiance, is the friendliest staff.“

“Delicious! Really interesting and tasty food.“

“Love this place. Always great music with a warm and welcoming atmosphere!“

“Great food . Amazing service. 100% recommended“

“Super kind ownership bringing good energy to Commerce in Tujunga. This business is engaging with the community on Facebook and connecting people. I appreciate the hustle! Needed a spot for French fries in the neighborhood and I got one. Thank you all.“

“I ordered Pop’s Trio that comes with each skewer of chicken, beef, and beef koobideh (luleh); white rice and lettuce salad with lemon vinaigrette; savory hummus; cucumber, tomato salad; grilled pepper; and a pita bread. All the vegetables were fresh, and the meat was seasoned well. My favorite one was beef koobideh.

The mobile ordering process was straightforward and convenient, but when I went there for pick-up, it was a bit confusing about which counter to go to for pick-up because there was no one at the cashier counter and apparently the area around the right side of the counter next to refrigerator when entering the restaurant had more space for customers to order and wait. Also, I didn't find the staff welcoming or approachable, but the person who cooked and gave me my pickup order was very warm and hospitable.

The food was great! I’ll definitely go back.“

“Amazing food. Great family run business. It’s just like eating a home cooked meal every time. The family is one of the nicest you will meet. Been coming here for a lot of years and the food is consistently great. Also, they do catering for any sized parties.“

We tried the chicken kabob, Shawarama, rice, Mediterranean salad, and hummus with pita bread. Fantastic meal!!! We also watched him prepare a Wrap which was Huge. We definitely be back!!! This great little place is located in the CVS shopping center on Hollywood Way and Verdugo.“

“Never had batter beef Showerma in usa thumbs up for ABU KABAB I highly recommend it you must try“

The falafel made with a perfect crunch & so moist & tasty on the inside, lamb & beef...PERFECTION! Joe, the owner, very soft spoken & humble when given a compliment. Service, EXCELLENT! I read the reviews yesterday & today we had to try it. If I had 3 thumbs 👍👍👍😉😁 Our lunch feast! Excellent!! 😋😋⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This is the best Mediterranean/Lebanese food in LA. I have not tried a better falafel anywhere in the world yet... Definitely 10 stars!!“

“Amazing food , great ambiance and friendly staff“

“Delicious sandwiches/wraps. My group tried the bens way gyro and the chicken delight. She made the meal as fast as she could and they turned out great. The large pita and hummus wasnt available at the time, so she made the medium. The pitas and hummus were top notch. Competitive pricing for sandwiches of this quality in the area.“

“Discovered Olive and Salt when we attended an event at the Alex Theater. Service was good, and the food was amazing. Highly recommend the loaded hummus (and appreciate that they don't stint on the pita!). I had the jewel salad with chicken added. The chicken was not the usual strips of plain baked chicken but chunks of the marinated chicken. So good!“

“Excellent food. Really great lamb chops. Yum. And really yummy homemade desserts.“

“This kebab restaurant was fantastic! The cozy interior, flavorful food, and excellent service made for a perfect experience. Our server, Alina, was especially outstanding—friendly, attentive, and helpful with recommendations. Highly recommend and will definitely return!“

“happily 😊 surprised. lunch on the run. Good Chicken!“

“Asteria Restaurant in Glendale is a true hidden gem that delivers an unforgettable dining experience from the moment you walk in. The ambiance immediately sets the tone—warm, cozy, and authentically nostalgic. You're greeted by the sight of an old-school piano, vintage black-and-white photos lining the walls, and charming little chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. It feels like stepping into a timeless Mediterranean home.

But the real star is the food. I ordered the **Chicken and Filet Mignon Beef Kabob Plate**, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. The filet mignon was melt-in-your-mouth tender, perfectly seasoned, and grilled to perfection. The chicken kabob was juicy, flavorful, and had that irresistible charred edge that makes every bite better than the last. Served with fluffy basmati rice, roasted vegetables, and warm pita, the plate was a masterclass in flavor and presentation.

Asteria’s menu is packed with mouthwatering options—from classic Mediterranean appetizers to hearty wraps and kabob combos. Each dish feels thoughtfully prepared and full of bold, satisfying flavors. Whether you're dining in for a special night or grabbing takeout, Asteria delivers on every level. This spot is the real deal—authentic, flavorful, and absolutely worth the visit.“

“THE BEST Mediterranean food in LA County! Their filet mignon and chicken have great flavor. I love the hummus and pita chips, which they season themselves. The cauliflower, rice, and pita are also delicious!

Parking: Parking lot behind, enough spaces

Kid-friendliness: Delicious for all ages“

“I saw that this place had been open not too long ago and happened to walk by it the other day and was enticed by the smell.

Today I decided to give it a try and based on the customer service alone, I will be returning!

Angel and Chris were super helpful and helping me decide what to order my first time and made some accommodations for me which I really appreciated. They really went above and beyond and it's nice to be able to have an experience like that when the media has been hammering away that quality customer service is in decline.

I'm happy to say that that is not the case here!

Looking forward to my next visit!“

“They have great quality products and they are very friendly“

“Definitely a go to place for comfort food! It was my first time to go here with my girlfriends and their happy hour is worth it! Since then I kept coming back or order delivery. My favorite is the gyro combo with some sweet potato waffle fries. Don't forget the garlic aoli sauce (thank me later ;D)“

“Highly recommend! Very deliscious dishes; really professional and friendly customer service; well done; thank you and good luck, guys!“

“ABSOLUTE GEM. We were lucky enough to find Cafe Elegante after a long travel day. Was just dumb luck that we found it but BOY did they delivery.

The staff were unimaginably kind to our weary travelers and provided a truly memorable dinner experience. The soltani and everything else) was AMAZING.

We'll be back many many times...“

“Always fresh and filling!“

“We keep returning to Luna Grill in La Cañada Flintridge, California, and each visit exceeds my expectations. We absolutely love the exceptional service, delicious food, and the serene atmosphere—perfect for relaxing with my husband. It’s truly our go-to spot for a peaceful dining experience.

Thank you, Luna Grill, for consistently providing such a wonderful experience!

Warm regards,
Miriam Huizenga ✨️“

“Friendly service. No frills, good food. Fast.

The kefta was dry but the beef kebab is one of the best I've ever had. Definitely will be back for more.

They give you 2 skewers standard with your order which is a great value. Get another one for 7 bucks.“

My entire experience was simply pleasant from beginning to end. Thank you to the entire staff both front, kitchen and cleaning crew.
Sincerely,

“whipped feta app was incredible, it's been almost a week and I'm still thinking about how good it was! the drinks were all memorable as well. was super busy when we went but worth the wait. can't wait to go back for dinner!“

“I had a fantastic experience at Ruby Restaurant & Venue! The space was a perfect match for small events and banquets, like birthdays, with a great ambiance and delicious food. The owner and staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“The chicken is so good and juicy. Its fresh and full of flavor.“

“Beautiful place“

“Very nice meals. Good luck!“

“After the 4th restaurant in Tujunga failed to make good Shawarma, I thought I would have to drive all the way to Glendale for the only good Shawarma I know, that I get from a food truck. I didn't know Shawarma House existed until today. The dine in place is nice and spacious, the service was kind, and for the first time in Tujunga that I know of, this a restaurant that didn't serve dry wraps with no garnishes.“

“Some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever had. I ordered the Hummus and Falafel Plate (vegetarian) and the whole plate was a beautiful presentation with amazing flatbread and falafel. The service was decent for LA. The ambiance is an amazing outdoor seating venue that is very picturesque. We ate here around 11am when they opened on a Friday. It started getting packed around 12pm. Definitely recommend this place.

Hummus + Falafel “

“The food was spectacular Everything made fresh and the prices are very reasonable I highly recommend“

“Best food in LA ,you feel like home . I recommend this restaurant . The Best authentic Lebanese food“

“Delicious and beautiful food!“

“My first time here ordering for lunch and it did take a little bit for the food to buzz ready but I realized it’s bc it was all freshly made to order!

As this is low key casual setting, you order at the counter and you sit anywhere inside Blossom Market Hall or outside and bus your own trays.

The FOOD was delicious! I ordered the COMBO FOR 2 for $30. It came with rice, salad, pita, hummus- it was definitely more than enough food for 2 :)

- The CHICKEN was surprisingly NOT dry and over grilled bc it was actually very tender and juicy.
- The BEEF was great too and the slices were nicely sliced for easy consumption.

I’ll definitely be coming back again for more COMBOS FOR 2 if I’m really hungry!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😍😍😍😍😍 every meal is made fresh. Hands down a favorite“

“Gladys is a gem. Friendly, welcoming, sweet. She took my order and as always efficient. When I went in to pick up my meal, which has been a very regular occurrence, she was on a break. I asked the young lady taking my money to thrown in some pickled as I always do. She was staring at the register and after a time I asked if I could swipe my card. She explained that the pickles had charged when only with a bowl. I mentioned that it’s never been mentioned and said she would speak to Gladys about that. That is NOT what you tell a customer when you can’t figure out how to enter it and make them wait. I asked to speak with a manager and she proudly announced that she was one of the ones in charge. She proceeded to further explain about the charge, but she would give me one this time. It’s not the money, but a friendly welcome with a smile would have been preferred. Every other employee is fabulous, but I suggest that this person gets advised on customer service. There are other establishments with food and for that matter other Zankou’s. Here’s to Gladys for doing a great job!“

“Great food!

I got the schnitzel plate and it was a very generous portion (more on the pricey side but you do get a lot). I picked my side and got the rice, that was good. You also get a pita.
I really like the meat, the hummus was great. Overall, it was great.

We also got some fries and the mushrooms. The fries unfortunately were a bit soggy but that’s to be expected when ordering - if you don’t eat right away - but still tasty.
The mushrooms - there could be mixed feelings but I love seasoned mushrooms and they had a great one! Very interesting, but I really liked it!“
