“10/10Visiting from Vancouver and OH MY GOODNESSThe best food I’ve had in A WHILE!!!My recommendation:- gem salad Is so fresh, perfectly seasoned, amazing texture and so delicious it was the perfect appetizer!!!- tar tar was AMAZING. I recommend mixing it in the sauce before putting it onto the bread that is still warm when they bring it out to you, which is so good. The sauce is a little bit tangy and has a bit of spice, which is perfect and really brings out the taste of the tartar.- spicy Pomodoro pasta was so delicious. The sauce, pasta, and ricotta ratio was perfect.- sweetcorn agnolotti was also so delicious, it was sweet but not too sweet and it kind of pops in your mouth when you eat it and it was very tasty.- banana pudding tiramisu IS SOOOO DELICIOUSThe perfect texture, temperature and consistencyAnd it looks amazing as well. I wanted to get another one but honestly I had to refrain myself from getting two of everything.Highly recommend the food and dessert.Got the drinks too and it was good but didn’t stand out as much as everything else.“
“Weird, but the place was dead----and i mean dead----at peak hour on Saturday night. My wife and I were the only ones in the place. The ambiance/bar was upscale but quaint. The service---by the owner and wait staff---off the charts great. Food was also very good. Had the moussaka and my wife had shrimp. Everything was tasty. Hard to explain why there was no one else there.“
“I absolutely love Bacari Silverlake location! Not only is the atmosphere incredible but the customer service is exceptional. I was just there for my birthday on Tuesday night and my server Kevin went out of his way to make it seem like a special occasion and helped contribute to making my night memorable! Thank you so much Bacari and Kevin!“
“My fiancé and I have put Mazal in our rotation of FAVORITE places. It's not just the food, but since it's yelp..... THE FOOD: I'm new to the vegetarian lifestyle, and started reluctantly under doctor's orders. Mazal has been a revelation! Tal and his staff prepare vegetarian dishes that taste amazing because they were always intended to be vegetarian! Fresh fennel salad, hearty beats with cumin, silky humus and baba ganoush. And mushrooms so perfectly grilled that they taste - dare I say - MEATY, like a mushroom should! So yes, the food is supurb. But that's not the reason we come back. Nor is it the reason we decided to celebrate our recent engagement with them. Mazal feels like a home. The decor is warm, the patio is beautiful and spacious, and Hanni, Tal, and the rest of the staff are kind and welcoming. So, I suggest you come for the food, stay for the people, and come back for both.“
“Love this hidden gem. Great for outdoor dining. I am not a hummus guy but the hummus starter might have changed my mind, it’s a must try. The food is delicious, fresh off the grill. The veggies were perfectly cooked and tasty. The lamb chops were pretty good.“
“The place is gorgeous, especially if you love a nice terrace. The food... Is it because it's the only middle Eastern gluten free place, or is it because the ingredients are fresh, or is it because the preparation is perfect, or maybe it's all the small details... I think it's all of the above, one of the best middle Eastern places in LA, and the best gluten free one :) enjoy their manahish!“
“This place is so authentic it reminded me of home . The owners are so sweet and welcoming and the FOOD is amazing !! The Ambiance was also so nice and relaxing . I recommend this restaurant for a date , group of friends and parties . Thank you again guys for an amazing evening .“
“My girls and I had an amazing experience. As soon as you walk inside you immediately just feel transported to another world. Ambiance was perfect and the food was extremely delicious. I definitely left feeling satisfied thanks to the wonderful staff and to Mario who hosted us.“
“ou won't miss the meat" at this "go-to for high-end vegan" and vegetarian dining, a "phenomenal" "late-night find" on Melrose offering "inspired" "comfort food" and "creative" Vegan cafés abound in health-conscious L.A., but Crossroads Kitchen, which opened in 2013, sets itself apart by turning plant-based dining into a white tablecloth affair. Crossroads is a high-end vegan restaurant for carnivores. Plant-based chef to the stars Tal Ronnen—he counts Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres as clients.“
“What am amazing space. The picture here does not do it justice. The menu is creative and everything was delicious. The drinks are primary Gin and Whiskey based and were strong. Definitely not for the weak at heart. I appreciated all the attention to detail. It's probably one of the most beautiful places to dine in LA.“
“Had a fantastic dining experience at "Bowery Bungalow"! The food was exceptional, with a diverse menu and delicious flavors. The service was attentive and friendly, and the ambiance was inviting. Highly recommend for a memorable dining experience.“
“Great now I’m going to be dreaming about felafel sandwiches all year. This place is the truth!A long time ago there was a Lebanese chef that open the falafel shop next to the mosque near my apartment in Seoul. As soon as you would walk in the door, he would smile at you tear off a piece of dough, roll out your pita and put it in the oven. Heaven I tell you, can you really have a great falafel sandwich without freshly made pita? Not in my world. Joe’s is the best I’ve had in ten years and I’ve been searching.If you’ve never had a falafel sandwich on freshly made pita, you owe it to yourself to get here as soon as possible.“
“Obsessed! Among a sea of fancy, loud pizza places in LA, Heirloom stands on their own merit. I drive quite a bit just to visit this spot. The pizza is fresh, balanced, and delicious, the place is comfy, and the owners are kind. My ONLY complaint is that they’re not open more often (I always crave them on Friday).“
“I was finally able to check off Kismet after months of passing by it after work.The food was delectable and distinctive, and the service was great. The tahdig/persian crispy rice and the roasted maitake mushrooms were our favorites of the night. My boyfriend and I thought that some dishes could tone down on the acidity (like the carrot side dish). Overall, it was a solid dinner, and we would certainly be back to try the other offerings and the dessert menu.“
“a must visit if you're ever in hollywood!!! second time visiting this place and so glad i came back! the food is not only delicious but the service is amazing as well. i didn't catch his name but im assuming he was the owner gave us a whole bag of their pita bread which i loved dipping with my baba ghanoush :) portion sizes are great and food is amazing!! will definitely be returning again. my personal fav is the chicken schawarma plate!“
“It was an easy store to enter. The staff was very responsive and explained the Greek cuisine for the first time in an easy-to-understand manner, and we had fun and enjoyed the delicious food. As a Japanese person, this was my first time trying all of these dishes, and I was surprised at how delicious they were. I'm sure you'll be satisfied no matter what you order.The seafood dishes were especially great. I heard that they also offer barbecue on the weekends, so I would definitely like to visit.I am grateful to the owner for speaking to me and explaining the dishes thoroughly.“
“Meals and memories are made here at Bianca’s deli. Bianca’s deli (est 1983) is a small Mediterranean deli cafe in East Hollywood. They serve fresh, healthy salads, wraps, sandwiches, panini and pasta. Furthermore, they offer good breakfast and coffee. They provide exceptional service and food. I came here over Lunch and ordered a Grilled chicken salad and a Pasta Primavera. Food was fresh and satisfying; portions were abundant for their modest price. Staff were assiduous, caring and professional.Overall, I enjoyed their service and food. I highly recommend this deli.“
“I lived in koreatown my whole life and i hate that i never tried this place until today. Food was so good here. I thought chicken would be dry just like other kabob places i go but this was the best chicken kabob i ever had. All their other plates were so delicious. I would recommend to everyone.“
“All I have to say is this: There is another Mediterranean/Mexican fusion in another part of East Los. THAT place gets a .25 of a star compared to this gem. Do yourself a favor. If you want that Mex/Med fusion you HAVE to come here. I had the Kebab burrito w/chile rojo and it's been on my mind ever since.“
“Update after a few years: Everything was good. Disregard my old commentHere's my short review:1.they're nice and the place is also friendly.2. the foods I ordered, except for Tabbouleh, were not good in taste. The presentation was good.*this is my perception, the way I felt and tasted their food. I did not see a special thing about those two foods I ordered. You might have a different experience.“
“Fave spot in LA and order here at least 2-3x a week. Best, most creamiest hummus I’ve had in my life. Rice is cooked to perfection every time. Both their salads are delicious and refreshing, Tabouleh Oaxaca Salad is a must try. Taco plate with chicken and cauliflower is my go-to. Everything is fresh and packed with flavor. Prices are affordable/reasonable and portions are perfect. Owners are super friendly and you can tell they put a lot of care and passion into their food.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and vegetarian friendly.Parking: Has its own parking lot. About 7 spaces.“
“The food was amazing and the atmosphere was so beautiful! I have no complaints about the location or the service. I did not find the lava cake dessert anything too special but the rolls were so delicious! I had the lamb and my husband had the stew and the presentation for the food was beautiful, it was almost too pretty to eat. It is worth trying out for a very romantic date - don’t waste it on someone casual.“
“Visit was Birthday treat from daughter, who ordered for us inside while I waited at one of the couple of tables outside. We ate outside (had doggie with us), so can't speak for Service or Atmosphere. I can say that my meal (Lamb, rice, salad, babaganoush, pitta) was hot and delicious. Would absolutely go again and recommend.Parking: Small parking lot, and next door to cafe on one side and Laundromat on other so parking could be an issue. Side streets had plenty of spaces.“
“I can't say enough good things - great food, great service and its Halal! The chicken is so moist, as is the beef. The falafel isn't dry, which makes the wrap a must have. Run don't walk on this storefront. It's a little hard to find, so keep looking!“
“This is a great lil joint hiding away in a not often traveled part of DTLA. It’s a small and cozy spot but the food they cook up is delicious and very good portion sizes. Nothing is crazy overpriced and the flavors of everything are spot on. We got the beef and chicken lule combo and lamb chop combo and loved it all. The char and flavor of the chops and lule was amazing. Plus the rice that comes with it was cooked perfect and I love that it comes with a sumac seasoning to add. Would definitely go back and recommend“
“10/10 recommend. So flavorful and delicious. It’s always busy and for good reason. My friend who joined me is vegetarian and said the falafel was to die for. My grilled chicken plate was perfect and the portions are great. Two meals in one!“
“The Shawarma taste both chicken, and the beef are scrumptious specifically, the garlic sauce is amazing, I took the 24 plate cuz there is 12 and 24 so I got the 24. It’s more than enough for two people and the price is more than reasonable. Keep going guys. Thank you so much.“
“Let's see,- no-frills taco and kabob joint,- food is pretty dang good- they are not playin' with their red sauce. My mouth is on FIRE but it hurts so good... can't get enough.- they did just recently (Nov 2023) raise their prices, but it's still competitive. just LAST month it was a crazy good deal. now it's a pretty good deal.- service is usually really fast.“
“This is the best Turkish food in town. The quality of the food is great. Everything is fresh, The portions are pretty big. My favorites are Sultan Delight and Adana kabab. Their Baba ganouj is the best in LA. It's not heavy. They have a small area where you can eat but it's mostly takeout. This place is literally a hidden gem.“
“We attended a celebration dinner for our martial arts school, we are vegans & we enjoyed our order very much. I am grateful for the delicious vegan options, Yummy tea, fresh orange juice (the best I have had in sooooo long) & excellent customer service, it was such a great experience, we would love to come back :)Vegetarian options: Vegan/vegetarian options labeled :)Dietary restrictions: Vegan optionKid-friendliness: My children loved it & so did the other children there :)“
“This marks my third order from Anwar's within a single month. The freshness and flavors are beyond description. Were it possible to rate with more hands, I'd award additional stars without hesitation. Concluding my review, dining here feels akin to receiving a warm invitation into someone's home, where the meal is served with genuine love.“
“Long story short, give this place a go! The staff was VERY friendly and gave great recommendations. The portions were amazing for the price and I enjoyed the entire meal. My partner and I both got the chicken kabab plate and the entire time we were eating we were commenting on how great and fresh everything was. The owner(?)/manager(?) came out during our meal and gave us a small slice of honey cake on the house, which really hit the spot! We both give two thumbs up and will be putting this place into our rotation.“
“Hands down the best hookah spot in LA. Their food is phenomenal, and their hookah lasts forever. Great place to come by yourself or with a group. I love this place because the music is not loud at all and it's very relaxing, even on the weekends when it's packed. You can actually have a conversation with the person next to you, unlike other hookah spots. Sina and his staff are amazing and attentive, they go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed. If you are coming with a larger group, I recommend you make a reservation.“
“Hello everybody, I would like to let you guys know about green grill Mediterranean food was outstanding it's a must try if you're in Los Angeles the girls said salmon is very delicious as well as the cucumber salad. They have zucchini skewers so if you're looking for something healthy and this is the place to be, I would recommend it for everybody to try it.“
“I love this place. I've been coming here for years and the food is so delicious. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner on my last visit and when I tell you he's a gem of a human being.... super kind and generous. It was a quiet evening and I was visiting with a friend from back east and he was so incredibly kind to us. Full of wisdom and a deep passion for people. The food is authentically prepared with so much TLC. Can't wait to go back! It's also BYOB.The terrace is warm and cozy. The traditional Persian music is wonderful as well.“

“The owners were very nice. In addition to great customer service, their food was very delicious. I had ordered a cappuccino club (combo). Not only were they delicious, but it was fresh and extremely neat. My friend had a chicken sandwich & he was satisfied with his meal. Also, great fries (very well seasoned). I will definitely come back. 6 stars!“
“We arrived into LA from Australia a few days ago. We came across this amazing place, the food was just like you would eat in Turkiye. The service was just perfect and the owner was very helpful, I would strongly recommend to visit this restaurant.“
“This restaurant was recommended by Turks. The menu is relatively simple and looks like a fast food restaurant hanging above your head. If you have bad eyesight, you can't see clearly. The restaurant cannot seat more than 20 people, so there are outdoor seating options. The parking lot is exclusively occupied by Starbucks, so we can only find a parking spot on the roadside.The food was well cooked, very Turkish style, the portions were huge but all was eaten.“
“We live just down the street from here and it’s one of our favorite places to pick up dinner. We often joke that we could blindly point at anything on the menu to order and would be happy with it. Quality is amazing and pricing is more than fair for the amount of food you get. Highly recommend this place to anyone!!!“
“As always, what a beautiful venue. The food was great and the service excellent as always. Good for them, the place was packed so it was a bit louder than usual but not bad compared to many restaurants where you can't even hear others at your table. Wonderful experience. Our dog loved it as well.“
“I'm glad this tasty, family-run restaurant is in my Los Feliz neighborhood. Happy that they've expanded their menu because the Persian Armenian food is delicious. Never had a bad meal, and never had anything but friendly service. Solid, un-pretentious, and relaxed. I dig it.“
“Shirin restaurant has become my go-to spot, with regular dine-ins twice a month and takeout once a week. Their portion sizes are generous, the customer service is top-notch, and what’s even better is the reasonable pricing. It’s a winning combination that keeps me coming back for more. Special shoutout to Arash, our host, who is always welcoming and kind.“
“big surprise for this restaurant without location or exceptional or attractive decoration on sunset, but we have a very pleasant time there with a cuisine surprisingly very accessible for the neighborhood, very copious and well presented, succulent, with alcohol at reasonable prices.beautiful terrace protected because it is raised and sheltered, inspiring security facing the busy and sometimes poorly traveled road.Recommended to have a great time in the evening near your hotel or motel, without feeling cheated and to have a pleasant and satisfying dinner!-------New passage in 2024, still the same positive experience, the prices remain agreed, especially compared to the collective hysteria of prices in LA, the dishes always copious, delicious, the wine (Riesling in particular...), the fast service, the variety offers..Bravo for this regularity!“
“First time ever in this Balkan type of restaurant.My friend and I arrived around 7PM PST ish...No crowd.Didn't have to wait to enter nor seated.Pretty quickly we got provided a menu,I truly did not appreciate the food like my friend did, but the waitresses were super quick at serving the food, bringing you your drinks, asking if anything else was needed, if the food was OK.Did I answer THAT question?I don't recall, but I don't think so.My friend did.Will I ever go back to this restaurant?Hum.. giving that I live 90 miles away from Culvert City, CA, the chances that I do are very slim.Do I recommend the place?I plead the 5th on this one.But I'll say this though in their defense: the food is not bad.I leave the good part to you all, or you'all.“
“This place is very well maintained and clean and I received great customer service from Gio she was awesome and they have a great selection of draft beers and sangrias, the food was so amazing and the music they had was great too! highly recommend this place if you like Mediterranean cuisine or if you want to try something new, really beautiful atmosphere and I’m definitely going to come back here when im in the area.“
“This spot is probably one of the best Mediterranean food restaurants I’ve been to.I ordered the salmon with extra salad, no pita, no bread and two skewers of chicken koobideh. The salmon was very tender and flavorful. The ground chicken kabobs were also very delicious and the salad with their house salad dressing was very tangy and matched well with the meats. Great customer service, two TV’s and a great spot overall.I’d definitely come back again to try their other menu items.“
“The food is delicious. My order is the Kefta plate & Love the style of pita. I assume this is a family owned business because the people who take your order treat you like an old friend or a family member in the best way. They show their customers so much love. & I walk out feeling like these are good people, doing all they can for others. I totally recommend & will be back for more Kefta.“
“A quick and healthy lunch option that’s super casual with friendly staff. I stopped by on my lunch break and was walking back to work with my takeout order within ten minutes. There was plenty of outdoor seating available for a Friday around 12:30. The prices can add up if you are the type of person like me who wants to try everything but I was pleasantly surprised by the freshness and overall quality. I will definitely be ordering from here again.Vegetarian options: Clearly labeled vegetarian optionsDietary restrictions: All clearly labeledParking: Hollywood Blvd can be hit or miss with open spaces - meters and free spots exist on side streets but it’s a busy areaWheelchair accessibility: Fully wheelchair accessible but the ordering and pickup window could be lower“
“I love this place, and I love the people who run this place. The food is amazing, full of amazing fusion flavor. But I think the experience of sitting with your friends and chatting with Bee and Wali, the owners, is great. They have a way of making you feel seen and special. It's honestly a wonderful place and really deserves to be checked out!“
