“The best place to try Bosnian food! I can’t pick one favorite, from cevapi to pizza to pita , this food taste like homemade. All employees are nice and friendly, but the owner is an amazing human being, so humble and approachable, honest and relatable, love chatting with him every time we visit Cali, which is usually 2-3 times a year and we make sure we eat lunch and dinner at Sofra Urbana every day. See you soon! Can’t wait for the most delicious Bosnian food on the west side of the United States.“

“Love this place, my go to. I’m a vegan and there is a huge amount of option for me. The reward program is really awesome too. Today, I was served by Becky, Jenny and Savannah, all of whom were incredibly courteous and efficient. Sometimes when it’s very busy the line can be a bit of a slog (still worth the wait!) but these three had me zooming through!“

“SO good! Highly recommend the ground beef hawawshy & bbq chicken american savory. We devoured ours.“

“This was my third visit to this location, and today was by far my favorite experience. Ruby was incredibly kind and helpful, and she had one of the most welcoming faces. She really made the visit feel warm and enjoyable. She made it worth 5 stars“

“My family went out and had a great experience. I had a chicken shawarma plate and it tasted very good. The portions are a decent size and we have leftovers for tomorrow. We also had walnut baclava and it was very good. Not only was the food fantastic but the atmosphere was also great. The owner was very nice and took care of our needs during our visit. Definitely would recommend this place.“

“I got the strawberry banana shake with plant based protein and a couple add-ons (I forgot what they were) and a side of electrolytes before I went to the gym. Everything was great and I'd go back without question, because it's one of very few health conscious smoothie places on Google maps that tends to my high cholesterol and high blood pressure.“

“Best meditarranean restaurant in downtown Long Beach for sure ,this place is new and already getting popular in the area“

“I love the Salmon bowl! I’m attracted to the Kids eat free Mon-Thursday. I like the kids play area. It’s inside or outside. I will be back for many terrific reasons!“

“Tried this gem for the first time today! Fall off the bone chicken and salmon Alfredo with fresh vegetables was delicious. The staff was friendly and gracious. Definitely a new favorite!“

“Made a last minute decision stop at this tiny place (after an appointment at Kaiser down the street) and was VERY pleasantly surprised! It was DELICIOUS! The air-fried falafel was UNIQUE and perfectly crunchy on the outside! It's a MUST try and I'll definitely be back.“

“Awesome food and great service. Atmosphere is what one would expect a strip mall food joint to be. Garlic paste seemed to be house made but the harissa seemed to be sambal oulek (an Asian chili sauce) everything else is really really good, especially the rice.“

“My family and I were looking for a restaurant that serves halal food on our way home. We found this on google maps and had minimal expectations.
Honestly, we were glad we stopped here, We loved it! The gentleman who worked their was super kind and friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and pleased. So i would give the service 20 out of 10 !
We had kebbeh, lamb chops, and chicken tawook. Kebbeh was served super hot and crispy. Yum.
The other plates were delicious but there is a room for improvement. I would have prefered my tawook to be a little more juicier. But the flavor was their and I would order that again, no doubt.
They also provided us with lentil soup as an extra (probably coz it's ramadan?) And it was a super nice touch. Loved it.
I would come to this place again inshaAllah!
Thank you!“

“Alas, a local place with unique charm, expert staff and a creative menu. We will be back often.“

“If you haven’t been to Cava yet, let me save you the suspense. From the moment you walk in, the ingredients look fresh, and the entire team moves with purpose and professionalism. You can tell right away they take pride in what they do and that starts at the top with Stavo.

Stavo was so sweet, friendly, and overall amazing. I absolutely loved his personality! You can tell he genuinely cares about both the people he works with and every single guest who walks through the door.

Now let me talk about something that surprised me.

I have never tried their Mint Cucumber drink before because I simply do not like anything minty. Ever! Stavo suggested I give it a try. I asked him directly, “Is it minty?” He confidently told me it wasn’t overpowering and that it’s actually one of their top drinks. And let me just say he did not lie!!!!

The Mint Cucumber was divine. So refreshing. Light, crisp, and perfectly balanced. It wasn’t overwhelmingly minty at all just clean and cooling in the best way. Thank you for that suggestion, Stavo. You converted me!

And while we’re here, if you haven’t had their Pita Chips, you are absolutely missing out. They are the BEST. Perfectly crisp, lightly salted, and dangerously addictive. Make sure you get them when they’re fresh and come right out that’s when they’re at their peak. Trust me on this one.

The food is consistently amazing fresh greens, flavorful proteins, creamy hummus, vibrant toppings everything tastes thoughtfully prepared. But what truly makes this location stand out is the experience. The teamwork. The hospitality. The leadership.

Five stars simply don’t feel like enough. 👏🏾“

“Absolutely fantastic food!“

“generous portions and very patient and kind staff! and the food is great too!“

“Great ambiance and amazing food. I had a lot of food… falafel, spicy hummus, kafta kabob, tzatziki loaded with veggies, cheese balls, and baklava. All so delicious and fresh. I even loved the fresh pita and dipping sauce that was complimentary. From the manager and many servers, everyone was pleasant and friendly throughout my time there. I went during happy hour so the specials were great during that time. I’m definitely returning to this Mediterranean restaurant for sure. I loved it.“

“Great service food is good“

“Great service, fantastic food, friendly atmosphere! Loved everything about the place. Can't wait to come back.“

“They have very friendly staff and the food is fantastic.“

“Very friendly service and the girl at the register was really sweet. The food was very good. I ordered soup and lahmacun and both were delicious. The only small issue was the wait time it took a little longer than expected for simple things like soup and lahmacun but overall everything was good.“

“We ordered this takeout. I must say, even with a 15 minute drive home, the food was delicious. The food was very, very tasty and cooked to perfection. It was a little pricey but worth it.“

“We love love your restaurant!! You have the best grilled chicken ever!! We dine here about twice a month. We love Paris she is a fantastic server. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience every time. ❤️“

“Very pleasant experience here! From the friendly accommodating staff, to the very delicious well prepared fish, it was a treat!! Best fish I’ve ever had! I look forward to coming back! 5⭐️“

“Cristina helped me navigate the menu as it was my first time ordering here. She was incredibly kind and helpful. Very clean and welcoming environment and my meal was delicious. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate and it did not disappoint. I will absolutely be back 💯💕“

“First time eating here. The food was fire! So fresh and delicious. The girl taking orders was very helpful and answered all of my questions. I ordered a build your own bowl. My base was French fries and Romaine salad. I got feta cheese to make feta fries. In my salad I kept all of the toppings it comes with from tomatoes, cucumber, pickled onions (the BEST here), and more. I added cilantro jalapeno humus, Caesar dressing on the side, kalamata olives, feta cheese, jalapeño, red onions and pita crumbles. For Protein I got the Chicken Shawarma and added extra protein-Shrimp. The shrimp was the star of the show. They were big, plump, deveined, grilled and seasoned to perfection! It also came with a thick, soft pita. One of my friends ordered a shawarma chicken wrap and it was huge. 2 other friends ordered the plate. The plate only comes with the protein and 2 selections and they got rice and veggies with a pita. The bowl and wrap are the best options.
I gave the atmosphere a 3 because the seats are hard seats and it’s not too warm and comfy but the food is worth it. I’m also glad they have Coke brand and also Poppi can drinks and bottled sparkling water.“

“I ordered the cinnamon oat latte, and I'm usually not a fan of oatmilk but it was balanced so well against the espresso and the cinnamon that it didn't dominate the flavor. It was a very smooth drink, not too sweet, not too bitter, and not too strong.

My wife got the strawberry matcha latte, and while the matcha was of a decent grade and quality, the strawberry isn't a puree, nor is it like a strawberry creme or milk added in, it's an additive in powder form and she doesn't tend to like that.

Their chocolate croissant, which we shared, was heated up as requested, it came with a line of melted chocolate drizzle on top, which I think was similar to Nutella but less thick in terms of consistency. It was also topped with powder sugar, and it had an inserted line of darker chocolate, maybe 65%, so pretty balanced against the sweetness of everything else involved.

The area the cafe is located in is nice, it's a large promenade with several nicer restaurants (it's also sort of attached to it's restaurant counterpart) and there's plenty to walk around and get some shopping done or walk off the drinks and baked sweets. Plenty of parking as well, and the mall itself is only a block or two north from the cafe.“

“The BEST pita chips and hummus!“

“Alan/Yalla Truck provided the attendees at our event with the most delicious meals!
He has a fantastic menu to choose from and gave us the highest quality food and the quantity was most satisfying. His crew was efficient and professional and all through our emails and phone calls, Alan was professional and helpful.

Couldn’t ask for a better experience!
Thank you Alan! Your Yalla Truck should be in high demand.“

“Had a great experience here. Had been wanting to try it for a bit. My wife and I stopped in after a long day and wanted something healthy. My wife got a bowl and i got the super duper wrap. I completely botched the ordering process however Isaac swiftly came over and asked what I meant to order. He was very kind and helpful. Great place, great employees. We will be back.“

“Most welcoming people with delicious food. Couldn’t go wrong with anything on the menu. We tired this place to beat the crowds at Disney land and honestly had a much better and wholesome experience at this restaurant than anything we could have gotten at DL. Thanks for the food and experience. Would love to come here more often but unfortunately we are visiting from the east coast. Highly recommend!!!“

“Great food always served fresh. Highly recommended!“

“GUYS, if you haven’t tried it, you are MISSING OUT . Soooooo goood.“

“Tried out your Cerritos location, I lived in LA almost 3years and food especially the kebab wrap was the best by far and I have tried different kebab place’s before in LA. One of the best Kebab place in America, the lamb was moist and very tasty with great flavors, the combination of the hummus, salad, fries combined with the lamb was delicious, the fresh flat bread was soft and crispy on the outside. Add the garlic yogurt sauce wow your tastebuds explodes in your mouth, the food was very lite and not heavy like most kebab place so they got the right balance by using the flat bread and not pita bread that most place use on the wrap Well done this place remind me of a place back home in New Zealand. I give The Kebab shop in Cerritos 10/10 Highly Recommend this place to my friends and family and different locations in America. Will go again and try something different on the menu.“

“My sister thought that she put in a catering order for a galentines brunch. When I arrived at the Huntington Beach location the next day she had not completed the order. Luckily, I had Adriana helping me! She helped me get food for 10 hungry women..we decided together on what to order and how to make it as budget friendly as possible. She and the employees at the HB spot had the food ready and packed for me in 15 minutes!!“

“The food is quality service is great. I will come back for sure.“
