“I was Looking for a spot to eat healthy today. Found this place. Entered this business established, was greeted and seated immediately. Menu's were given to us. Ordered a Greek Lamb Salad, flat steak dinner and wine. Took a bite of both food entrees. All was fresh and delicious, including the wine! Saturday evening was quite pleasant. A guitarist was playing the night away which made the ambiance great. The thing that stood out was the service. Our Waiter and the staff kept checking up on us and stating if we are good and if we needed anything else. This was ongoing on our dining experience here. This shows that their very adamant about the service given that reflect on their business. A tip worth giving. Not like those other locations where they barely put in any effort on customer service but expect you to tip 23% or more. I recommend this place in the Lakewood California area. You will get great tasting food and service. This is my go to for Greek food in this area.!“
“Always a delightful experience here! It feels like a family-run business where the owners care about all guests and can anticipate the guests needs in advance. The vibe is off the charts, feels almost like home! The food is on point and wonderful. I look forward to trying other items.“
“It was recommended and was my first time trying this place. No regrets! Food - I ordered a grilled cheese bowl. It comes with 4 pieces of grilled sliced cheese, two types of seasoned rice, hummus and salad. It was a perfect size for me. Salad was crunchy, everything tasted freshly prepared and delicious! Service - I can't ask better! I received friendly, welcoming and perfect service! I'm so glad that I tried this place out. I'll definitely come back again and this place is highly recommended to everyone. There are 2 other locations as well, just to mention. It's really worth trying, if you haven't tried yet.“
“This was a great gem to find in westminster! My husband and I were on a business trip and enjoyed the food and hospitality so much we returned the next day and brought a friend. We absolutely LOVED the falafel, kibbeh, and humus the most. We also really enjoyed the chicken kebab and beef shawarma. My favorite meat was a chicken they made special for the dinner buffet. I was so disappointed to learn it wasn't a menu item that could be ordered ?. I also liked the Barbosa dessert it as s coconut flavor without being over powering and the lentil soup was also AMAZING so creamy and smooth. Definitely top tier lentil soup he swears its just blended lentils but there must be some magical ingredients or process because that lentil soup was SOOO SMOOTH. ("Just like the ocean under the moon" silently singing Santanas song withbthe mtch box 20 guy in my head now)Ahmed the owner was really nice and so was the Mexican lady working for him. I don't remember her name, but we were thankful she spoke Spanish as when we came in the forst time, the only two people there were her and another guy who only spoke Russian. Neither had good English but luckily my husband spoke enough Spanish and we pointed at the menu items and were able to order. Ahmed speaks fairly good English and so did the lady who was their the next day.This food was so yummy we would come back even if no one spoke english or spanish. We will definitely be back again. It's been a while since I've had really good falafel, so that was a super pleasant surpise.The venue is small, only about 6 or so tables that seat about 4 each. They do have a high chair if needed but no changing table in the bathroom. I wouldn't call this easily wheelchair accessible as the threshold is a bit high, and the space between tables is a bit limited. It would be challenging to maneuver through if all the tables are full.I highly recommend checking it out if you are looking for yummy Mediterranean food and are not afraid of language differences. ?“
“Their grilled vegetables are snapping! Love their green sauce (not the Mexican one and I think it’s called chimichurri or something like that), it goes really well with the grilled chicken and vegetables we ordered. Love the hummus and yogurt, salad and the dressing. Clean and tidy. Friendly staff. The owner/chief who was with us patiently help us out with the choices for the bowl and very passionate about delivering friendly service. Definitely will visit again! Very healthy options too!Vegetarian options: Grilled vegetables, salad, hummus, corn, tomatoes and cucumber toppings, vegetarian sauce and salad dressing“
“This is hands-down one of the best places for convenient Mediterranean food that's affordable portion-wise and is quality and delicious. It's a hidden gem and workers are super nice to accommodate you. I really enjoyed the Chicken Kabobs which were decently sized, juicy, and well-seasoned. Hummus pairs well with the falafel. The falafel surprisingly had less of bean/chickpea taste and more cilantro (?)Overall, definitely coming back whenever I'm down for some fresh chicken kabobs with a side of pita. PLUS, they have 2 types of pita breads: white and wheat. I'm also coming back for the wheat pita“
“Hands down the best birria tacos and fusion shawerma I've ever had. I might as well pitch a tent outside.Ivan provided great customer service and helped me pick exactly what I needed off the menu. Definitely coming back here to try the rest.“
“The staff was friendly and very attentive. I dined with a party of 6 and everyone seemed to enjoy the food and the portions were generous . We shared the mezza appetizer which was delicious and definitely enough for the 6 of us. I ordered a chicken bowl which was tasty but the chicken kabob was overcooked.“
“Love this place! The food is always great and the quantity for the price is more than fair, in my opinion. My wife and I eat here once or twice a month, sometimes more. The staff is super friendly as well. I highly recommend and if you live nearby, definitely give them a shot.“
“If you're reading reviews trying to see if this place is good just do yourself a favor and place an order. The quality of food is amazing, everything always tastes fresh and the service is excellent. I cannot recommend Pita Paradise enough.“
“Upscale Lebanese restaurant with variety of dishes sporting authentic taste of Beirut. From delicious vegetarian choices to succulent meats, all with just the right amount of spices.Vegetarian options: Falafel is the best but there are many more to try.“
“We tried habibi grill first time . We order shawarma wrap and taaooq plater ,hummus and kunafa. Everything was so delicious and tasty like not over cooked neither less cooked everything on point ! Wanna eat those again and again . 100 % recommend if you like Mediterranean.Must go place and chef was so Nice man and knew how to cook! ?“
“I’m from San Diego headed to Beverly Hills and had to stop to charge my Tesla .my mother and I got hungry and saw this place on Google five minute walk away.The whole experience was wonderful. I was greeted by a kind, middle-aged woman and handed a menu. While I was waiting for my order to be prepared. Two little kids ran up to the man in the kitchen and asked if he could open their orange soda for them, the clip for the soda was broken off so he gave them a new one. After watching this all go down in the distance, with a smile on my face, I made eye contact with the guy behind the counter & he offered me an orange soda :).Orange soda is my favorite. Today is my birthday. He didn’t know that.Food came out pretty quick.Was delicious.Easiest five star review of my life.Thank you so much.“
“My family and I love stopping by at this location for a meal whenever we in town visit my parents. I never get disappointed. Last night, 12/23/23, our meals were not prepared correctly. What impressed me is that they rectify it immediately without any negative attitudes. Compliments to the manager and staff at this location for continuously making my family’s and mine dining experience so enjoyable. Thank you.“
“I tried this place for lunch today. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the restaurant. The menu has good variety and the prices were reasonable. I ordered a shaved beef and lamb wrap, which was delicious! The serving size was a footlong size, so I brought home half for another meal. I will definitely go back again.“
“As entreprenuers we travel the world and the unknown and get to have great experiences with people. Today we visited World Famous Grill in Downey and Hassan was the perfect gentleman. He helped us with a Kabob Combo Plate with hummus, rice salad and pita bread along with their famous Western Burger which was monstrous and delicious. Our daughter was also able to order chicken nuggets and fries as well. We appreciate these small businesses opposed to all the BIG corporations who usually say no to us asking for food. Thank you again World Famous Grill.“
“Late lunch so we did a quick grab and go from Mazaya. We paid for it - relax. The grape leaves are absolutely my favorite. Hummus is a solid choice. The French fries are like those late night post party open late burger stop. They have a crunch, soft tasty center and season with good ol’ salt. The chicken this time was a little dry but that’s ok. Wont stop us from going back. Services are quick and the place is clean and comfortable.“
“Great Food, even greater service! The Beef Kabob Pita Wrap, the SHRIMP Kabob Pita Wrap! The SAMOSAS! DELICIOUS! One night they forgot to include an item in my order. I called the next day and before I could get my Full sentence out, NAYA was already aware of the situation. She was extremely apologetic, offered to remake the item and included any item from the menu that I wanted for free for the inconvenience. THATS customer service. Tonight I came in and Allen greeted me with such kindness. He's the sweetest and remembered my order. Abdul, in the kitchen along with the rest of the kitchen staff do NOT disappoint! Every single time I order, the food has the same delicious quality. 10/10!“
“Everything was great. Atmosphere was amazing. Drinks took awhile and my friend whose birthday it was never got her second drink. And when it was time to pay I wanted to leave a little early so I had the waiter split my bill plus the birthday girl's drink and he ended up charging me the remainder on my card which was $130 instead of the $68 eventually we put everything on my card and had two transactions on my card instead of voiding it and having that amount pinned on my bank account. For what it's worth if this happens to you especially if you go in a large party remember that it is best to just zelle each other then void the transaction and have multiple pending transactions on your bank account. I was a little disappointed that all the waiter wanted to offer was to void the whole thing because as a server myself I know that this causes multiple pending transactions. So from both the customers point of view and the servers to make your life easier and theirs remember that nobody's perfect and mistakes can be made and if you can take the initiative to lead your group so that the money isn't lost in cyberspace so that not only the bill gets paid but everybody feels like they put a fair amount in then your experience will be a good one even if it seems like it's going south. So in conclusion I ended up staying a little bit longer than I wanted to but I felt like this was an experience that had to be shared and I hope this is helpful for people in the future.“
“The food is amazingly delicious!! Wow. So glad that this place opened. A MUST try!!! The owner Ben is super nice! He seems to really care about his customers and the quality of his food. I've visited numerous times and my favorite food is the Chicken wrap. The place is small but very clean looking.“
“The Green Olive is a small chain Mediterranean restaurant that generally sets up in industrial areas to keep their costs down and to service the working people of those areas. If you like Mediterranean Food there are very few who can compete with The Green Olive. Their chicken kabobs are absolutely amazing. Additionally, I tried their salmon kabobs I was pleasantly surprised but the tenderness and seasonings on the salmon and vegetables. The only knock I can say is that their rice doesn’t have much taste however with the variety of sauces it will make the rice pop specially the green sauce. They have vegetarian options. You can not go wrong here. This isn’t much of a dine but if you pick it up deliver it home you will be pleasantly impressed. Rock on Green Olive!!!!Vegetarian options: You know how to do vegetarian at Mediterranean restaurants. Pretty much. Standard options.Parking: Parking is easy.Kid-friendliness: Not really a place for kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy wheelchair access.“
“When we arrived, we were greeted warmly by the staff and was immediately struck by the beautiful decor of the restaurant. The ambiance was inviting and relaxing, making it the perfect place for a special occasion or a casual dinner with friends. The menu at Ammatoli offers a variety of Mediterranean and Greek dishes, all made with fresh and high-quality ingredients. I started with the hummus and pita bread, which was incredibly creamy and flavorful. For my main course, I had the lamb chops, and they were cooked to perfection. The meat was tender and juicy, and the flavors were out of this world. My dining companions also raved about their dishes, which included a delicious seafood pasta and a flavorful chicken souvlaki. One thing that really stood out to me was the exceptional service. Our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable, and made excellent recommendations. He also checked in on us throughout the meal to ensure everything was to our liking. To top off the wonderful meal, we ordered the baklava for dessert, and it was the perfect sweet ending to our dinner. I also appreciated that the portions were generous, so we were able to share and try multiple dishes without feeling stuffed. Overall, I highly recommend Ammatoli Restaurant in Long Beach. The food, service, and ambiance are all top-notch, and it's clear that the staff takes pride in providing a memorable dining experience for their guests. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes from their menu.'“
“MUST try FALAFEL sandwich. Perfect with thin pita, scrumptious fresh veggies & sauce. Now my favorite in SoCal. Sorry, intended to get picture but sooo good forgot..lolAzzie is amazing & explains how all is cooked fresh. Went back and bought tge lentil soup!“
“We arrived on the late side for a Sunday night, but the gracious ladies quickly seated us and brought the menus. We all decided on the kebab plates: 1 chicken, 1 lamb, and 1 salmon! All were cooked to perfection and served quickly. We did decide to add a half order of humus, as well!“
“When you want to eat something filling, fresh and tasty, this is your place! The gyros are so tasty, I've had both the lamb and chicken. Both are meaty and fresh tasting. You can taste all the ingredients. The fries are so good, and they stay crispy. Highly recommend a side of the potatoes. They are so good! Everything I've had has been great. The plates are great to share too. If you are really hungry I recommend the Zeus Fries. They are enough for multiple people. Give this place a try and you'll be hooked!Parking: Plenty of parking in the back“
“Keep coming back to this spot, for many reasons. The food, service, ambiance, location, novelty. I've been during the daytime for a latte in the sun, and I've been at night for an incredible dinner service. I would say I prefer the nighttime experience, just because the coffee is pretty over priced, and they haven't nailed the daytime-cafe-vibe yet. Needless to say, they have certainly nailed the nighttime vibe. Wonderful small plates, super yummy pizzas, creative and beautiful dishes. Recently, my group of four and I shared a pizza and a few small dishes as well as entrees. Out of all of the dishes, my Alaskan halibut was agreed upon as the best, which was surprising! The creamed leeks beneath the fish were unlike anything I've ever had. We also REALLY enjoyed the snap pea salad. Such unique flavor combinations! The burnt basque cheesecake and marscapone gelato were wonderful treats to end our meal. I will continue to come back!“
“great food, great vibea! we got the family style and it was so good, highly recommend the lamb chops! someone in our group cried because the food was so good. the waitstaff was so nice and helpful (especially Fabio) and it was a great night, highly recommend!“
“Good food in a good portion for a reasonable price in a beach town in California. The gyros is no top quality meet neither, but the salad and rest of the plate is. Nice sunny terrace. Speedy service and preparing of your order. Would try the lamb chops or the calamari next time. My buddy recommends the greek salad with grilled scampi and chickenVegetarian options: Go somewhere else to eat your grassKid-friendliness: There was a girl enjoying lunch with daddy“
“Hidden gem alert. Really great middle eastern food. The beef, chicken, and kofta kebabs were all moist and delicious. The rice fluffy and the baklava is to die for. All reasonably priced and super friendly and sweet service from the family. Highly recommended!“
“It was my first of going there for lunch with my friends . There are variety of foods you can choose such as Hummus , eggplants , grilled kebab , pizza , grilled veggies and lots of salads . All of them fresh , flavorful and tasty . Highly “
“Drove down from van nuys to try this place out with my two younger siblings, and I quote from two 16 year olds.. the most worth it thing ever haha the portions are great Liza made us feel right at home and when u say we were absolutely satisfied with everything you gotta try the asada hot Cheeto fries they are to die for and the lebamex sauce really brings everything together 10/10 you guys would make a killing in the valley Ali!!!“
“The quality of the food here is next level. The explosion of flavors in your mouth are mind blowing. The chef of this restaurant really knows what he's doing. You can taste that the love and passion that goes into making this delicious food.“
“I’m so so sorry for all those that miss out on this little gem tucked away in this little strip mall cause you’re certainly missing out on some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve had in ages. Superblylicious!!! The place is small and very unassuming and in fact I thought I had walked in the wrong place if not for the yummalicious smell of the food in the air that had pulled me further in…my son picked this place out but I’d been wanting to try it for several months. I had the Lamb kabab dinner my son had the steak and then ordered a chicken kabab on the side. They were so delicious and tender I will order all 3 again. Yep. All THREE and share. Oh oh…the Garlic potatoes are off the rocker. So Ah-May-Zing! One order is enough for 2 people. But let’s talk hummus…seriously let’s talk. I love hummus and they do hummus. 5 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ for the hummus. So to recap we ordered the kabab dinner which are served over a huge bed of fluffy flavored rice with a grilled onion and tomato, huge serving of hummus ❤️ plus pita bread, salad, pickled spicy onions and the best garlic dip EHVERRRR! They have wraps, bowls and all kinds of items. The food is done right and I’m already planning to go back this week. They have 2 other locations. The one in Long Beach is a larger restaurant that is a larger dine in serves wine and beer. Going to try there too.“
“Nancy at the counter is always fast and efficient. She really knows her menu! They have a variety of plates, salads, wraps, and sides. A few of my fan favorites include the works, which comes with a little bit of everything, kafta, beef, chicken, two falafel balls and two step grape leaves. Chicken wrap is made with pita bread, garlic paste, lettuce, tomatoes, and homemade salad dressing. The sides forBesides for your wraps are pickled turnips and your choice of spicy potatoes or salad. My favorite salad would be the grilled veggie salad with protein optional it has onions, bell peppers, zucchinis, yellow squash, and corn, all grilled and topped with their homemade balsamic dressing and feta cheese. Their stuffed grape leaves and falafel are always a hit as well. I have yet to try their baklava, but that is next on my list they’re located in a food plaza, so there are a bunch of other eating establishments as well and their dining areas and restrooms are always spotless. Most of the establishments have the restroom code and Wi-Fi password posted or if they don’t, you can always ask! The TVs mainly play the news and they have connections if you need to charge your phone or laptop overall, this is one of my favorite places to eat. If you decide to go check this place out at the counter know Roxy sent you!Vegetarian options: Falafel balls, hummus, grapes leaves, eggplant wrap, fattouche, tabouli, baba ghanoush, grilled vegetable salad, house salad, Cesar salad, Greek salad.“
“They currently have a Friday falafel deal where you can get five pieces for only one dollar the staff are super nice and the falafel was honestly worth it for a dollar and it also came with some tahini sauce on the side which was pretty good.Although this is more of a grab and go place with no seating inside, you can sit outside and there's this grass nice area with good benches.“
“My boyfriend and I absolutely love this place and are frequent visitors! This is one of the only places that has great tabbouleh and turkish salad! I would recommend to call ahead so you can pick up your order quick, and don't forget to ask for the yogurt sauce! It pairs amazingly well with the pita bread. Lots of room to dine in, but they also get a lot of togo orders.“
“I’ve been meaning to stop by this place for years. I’m kicking myself for waiting so long. First, the place is so welcoming and open. I remember when it was a KFC and I cannot believe how great they made it look. The staff was awesome! When I walked in they were joking around with each other like pals! Back and front staff! It’s rare to see such a positive team feeling like this! The manager was also very welcoming and gave great suggestions and was incredibly friendly and helpful. I don’t know what these negative reviews are talking about. The portions are great, and you get more for what you pay. The meat was quality white chicken breast meat which is no surprise because they have a carniceria on site! The meal felt homemade. The salad was fresh and the hummus tasted like it was made that morning. Great experience! Im definitely making this a regular spot!“
“What a gem hidden inside of a corner liquor store!Popped into here for lunch with my dad (a syrian man, born and immigrated, so he knows his arabic food).I had the chicken shish tawook plate, he had the falafel "tacos"Both items were excellent. The value was high, the service was friendly... and if I didn't mention it the food was great.Ambiance was kind of funny being in a liquor store to order, but i've had great food in all kinds of gas stations.. so why not?“
“Amazing experience, this is the only way I can describe our visit. I ordered the eggplant and my wife ordered the falafel. Food was as authentic as I remember it from my living and visiting the Middle East. we will definitely visit Yalla again.“
“I was there right when it opened and had the best experience, everything was perfect and definitely will be going again. For the first time everything about a place complimented everything the staff were super helpful, the food was amazing, the drinks were nice and cheap, and the atmosphere was phenomenal.“
“First time trying out this new place ever since I used to work across the street at stater bros. I must say, it was definitely worth the try. The owner here is very welcoming & has such a wonderful positive attitude where you don’t see that in most places nowadays. I tried their beef fried rice, it was so delicious & on top of that, he offered me aside of soup with my meal. Recommend to stop by if you’re in the area.“
“I've been going here since they've opened and this is by far the best Lebanese food around! It makes you feel like you've had a home-cooked meal the owner. Bruno was beyond nice and welcoming. It's so refreshing when the food matches the excellent service. I would highly recommend this place my kids love the food as well. It's always a hit.“
“Oh my, I think I have a new addiction. The green Olive. This little grill, so delicious. Parking is a problem, unless you park in front of another business unit. Greek Grilled and charbroiled Kabobs Chicken,Fillet Migon are my favorite. The portions are squeezed into small styrofoam containers. Not good for the environment! But the food is delicious. Prices are the maximum I pay for street eats. The service? They have a hard working good group, so tip them. No pictures here, because I'm hungry. Only caution, They take on line orders, hopefully you don't get behind a slew of them,or your order may take a little longer, but you can bet it will be worth the wait.“
“If I could give the service 10 stars I would. This place is seriously amazing. The staff Austin and Leo are ALWAYS friendly and helpful. Wonderful dishes. Great price. Perfect service. What more can you ask for in a restaurant? Need to check this place out in downtown Long Beach asap!!Parking: Park at the Hubb for the first two hours free !“
“Fresh, clean, pleasant atmosphere, delicious. If you're looking for a meal that is clean and not full of grease this spot has you covered. It's refreshing and tasty. The cheesecake is delicious. would recommend to anyone and everyone. Staff is on point direct customer service and very descriptive in the items offered. I had the beef with all the offerings of toppings over rice and also opted for some humus will be back to try the other items in the future. The signature sauce is also a great addition to the meal. Putting everything into one conveniently packed bowl. To summarize check it out.“
“It was terrible. From the time we walked in it was like what are you doing here. It took them forever to bring a menu & even water it was as if they didn't want us there. Then the waitress trick us to order this meal for 2 people which cost us almost $80. which we split the bill. The manager didn't help at all because we call her to the table. We were the only black people in the place.“
“It's always seemed to me that chain restaurants tend to be best right after they've opened up, and that's definitely the case here. Zankou Chicken is always good but this new location seemed just slightly better than the older ones. The food came out immediately and yet it was hot and fresh, like it had just been made. My only complaint is the complaint I have about Zankou in general, which is their portion size. Their quarter dark meat chicken plates are too small, but a half chicken would be too much (and I don't like white meat anyway, so it would be wasted on me). I always leave a Zankou still somewhat hungry, and that shouldn't happen, not with the prices they're charging. Please, Zankou, offer a three-piece chicken option! Either that, or get bigger chickens! The chicken legs you use are tiny!“
“Love love loveeee the food here! Super fresh, healthy and full of flavor. I especially love the gyro bowl. Lots of protein and it all just goes so good together. The pita wraps are really good too. The sauces they have are some of my favorite. Great prices for amazing food. Can't wait to try the deserts soon, those look so good-- definitely coming back on my cheat meal days. ;)“
“I'm not sure why it took me so long to try this place, but I'm so glad Uber Eats suggested it. Firstly, their plates are jam-packed with abundant servings. Secondly, they're protein options are well seasoned, juicy, and delicious. I've had their beef, gyro, and chicken. All three are to die for, but my favorite is their beef and gyro. Lastly, their green sauce is fire/cherry on top. Yes, it's a bit spicy, but nothing you can't tolerate if you enjoy spice. All in all, this place checks off all the boxes for me, and I'm so glad I found it. If you haven't tried it, don't wait. Run! You'll thank me later.“
“Have been coming to LBX for a while now to try new things and I can definitely say that this is now one of my favorite places to go to. Shout out to Jesus for being extremely nice and recommending me a dish that was absolutely delicious! I will definitely be coming back and bringing my friends and family along with me next time.“
