“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.“

“Cava is literally my favorite! This was my first time visiting this location. The restaurant was clean and well-kept, and the food was fresh and delicious!
Jenny was very friendly and professional, and made the whole experience smooth and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Great atmosphere and wonderful staff.
The reasons I put 4 stars and not 5 are the fact that our meat came out awhile after the rest of our food and was a bit dry- I think they might have been short staffed in the kitchen that day.
Loved the falafel, beets and the lebneh.
If youre in the area definitely give them a try!“

The place is super clean and the staff is really knowledgeable and fast!

“Healthy and Delicious! Luna Grill is my go-to when I want something that is absolutely tasty and makes me feel good. Their chicken, beef, (shrimp at some locations), salads, hummus, and warm pita slices provide a great source of protein, with flavorful Mediterranean seasoning. Their staff is always friendly and helpful - the location I take my elderly mother to always remembers to bring me an extra plate so we can share a platter (there’s plenty) without me asking. Food is made fresh to order in kitchens that always look clean. Get full and healthy here!“

“😀This restaurant is awesome, the food tastes great, the ingredients are made fresh daily from scratch, and the menu is so rich with a lot of varieties you will love, especially the reasonably priced dishes. The service is top notch, and the chef, Mr Cotch is the best. The atmosphere is very pleasant and inviting, it's a great place to have events and parties, dine in, or call and order by phone. I highly recommend it to everyone who enjoys authentic middle eastern cuisine. Cheers.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing food, nice friendly atmosphere!“

“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've been coming here for years now, and it's consistently a 10/10! Service is great, food is delicious (and healthy!), and it's always awesome to dine at small mom and pop shops. Will forsure be catering from here when I need it!“

“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.“

“The Kebab Shop is conveniently located in a shipping area near Trader Joe's with ample parking. Ordering at the counter was a snap and the staff was very professional and friendly helping us with our first visit. We decided to try one of their wraps with lamb and steak. After ordering, the staff invited to try some of their choices of yogurt topping. It was a short wait at our table and then our name was called.

The wrap was good sized and filled with lots of meat. I added dill yogurt topping and took a bite; mm mm, so good! The combination of the topping, lamb and fresh veggies were fantastic.

I really enjoyed it and can't wait to go back.“

“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!“

“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.“

“As a Turkish person who has lived in the U.S. for over 20 years, I can honestly say this is some of the most authentic Turkish food I've had here. The staff is warm and welcoming, the service is excellent. If you're looking for genuine Turkish cuisine, I highly recommend this place.“

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

“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. ❤️“

“Issac is absolutely wonderful with a wonderful smile ❤️ He helped me with my grandma on understanding the menu & making suggestions on her choices. My mom who got food from the restaurant next door & has never been here, even said she was coming back because she liked Isaac's spirit.“

“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⭐️“

“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.“

“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.“

“I eat breakfast once a week on average. The staff is great, always pleasant, great customer service. The food is good, I always order the one 12 breakfast. Can sub potatoes for a salad if wanted. Only one complaint having to do with restaurant next door. While trying to enjoy my breakfast outdoors, next door is being mopped with Fabuloso cleaner. Totally ruined my breakfast. On another occasion I sat close to that area and a plastic dumpster with trash was being wheeled by me. Not the greatest atmosphere unfortunately.“

“Great food always served fresh. Highly recommended!“

“Love this place, we try to go and have breakfast every Sunday.“

“DISCLAIMER***I ate half my food because the smell was amazing to know how delicious it is!

Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic middle Eastern sharwarma 🙌💕✨ thank you Kimo for sharing your delicious home cooking with us. It is truly an honor 🙏“

“We LOVE George’s for a quick lunch, nice dinner, or catering a party! They have been there for me for all my dining or party needs. They never disappoint. Both the food and the service is outstanding.“

“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.“

“This was our first time eating at this Mediterranean chain and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and service of both the food and employees. The chicken and beef tasted very good and was not dry at all. I will definitely come back here and will visit other locations when I see them.“

“We arrived earlier than the food truck and almost missed them, but luckily right as we were looking for dinner alternatives they pulled in! Absolutely delicious, we ordered the 24" chicken shawarma meal with extra pickles. The chicken was super delicious, and the fries really hit the spot. Highly recommend!“
