Lebanese Restaurants near Lake Balboa, CA

“Homemade cooking with high quality and variety of dishes I haven’t found in any restaurant. Prices are fair given the quality ingredients and labor intensive preparation of authentic dishes. Worth checking out - best suboreg anywhere, and try their mantee, harrissa and imam bayildi. Everything Fresh and tasty! So convenient for a busy household. Love this place and their kind service.“

“My absolute new favorite restaurant! We were visiting family in LA from Chicago and they took us here, I ended up going three times in my one week visit. Cheese stuffed zaatar and the sojouk kachopuri were my favorite and the garlic chicken wrap was my husbands. Honestly everything we had was delicious and the kids kept asking for the pepperoni pizza and mini pizzas.“

“Excellent Lebanese restaurant! The food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was attentive, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. Highly recommend for anyone craving genuine Lebanese cuisine!“

“I’m from Dearborn Michigan,(middle eastern capitol of America) and this tastes exactly like home. Fattoush dressing was perfect, the hummus and tabouli were fabulous. The steak kababs 🤌🏼 the only thing was the chicken Shawarma sandwich had a sauce I didn’t like or have tasted before. Only thing I wasn’t a fan of- but the chicken was cooked perfectly in it“

“I've eaten here twice now. First time ran in and ordered a Falafel with Hummus and Tabuleh. It was so delcious - some of the best I have ever had. Came back for lunch with mu huband for lunch and he had a Schwarma salad. It was also delicious. The garlic sauce and home made bread served with salad was amazing. Will go back again and even go out of my way to enjoy this specail little spot.“

They’re fast, organized, and have great teamwork. I always admire people who work in the kitchen and truly know their stuff. Great job, guys! 🙌👏“

“Atmosphere was dark but I think shades were down to maybe protect against afternoon sun. I did not dine in, but quite a bit of people were dining in with family.

Food was actually better quality than the sepulveda/santa monica location. Staff were busy so not much time to socialize/connect, but staff seemed thorough and punctual.

Would takeout and to-go just for food quality and staff helpfulness.“
