Middle Eastern Restaurants near North Hollywood, CA

“Try the Queens platter!!! You will not be disappointed. The food is delicious and the portions are huge. The platter can easily feed a family of 4 for $30 and you will have food leftover. They give you a platter of 4 meats and 4 sides. We are customers for life! Thank you!“

“The food was excellent! My family and I truly enjoyed it. The service was outstanding, and the Armenian barbecue was fantastic. Overall, it was an amazing experience! I will definitely order from them again. The flavors and authentic Armenian dishes reminded me of my home country. 😍 - Lilya“

“Have you ever entered a business and immediately feel like you just walked into your home where family is waiting to greet you? That was the very feeling I had when I stopped by the NoHo Cafe today. I knew the food was good as I used the delivery service before. Today I decided to visit the Cafe and I promise I’ll continue going frequently. The food is delicious but what won me over was the welcome and love you experience when you walk in the door. The staff is amazing... the Cafe has a very “welcome home” atmosphere. The complimentary cup of soup is AWESOME. I sat at a corner table allowing me to do what I love...watch people. As I enjoyed my delicious first meal of 2020 I watched as every person who entered was treated with care and joy. Just like being home the staff will keep checking to see if the food is ok and if you need anything. The NoHo Cafe is a place I recommend to anyone wishing to enjoy a good meal and to experience a “welcome home” feeling. Thank you NoHo Cafe for starting my 2020 with a reminder of the importance of kindness.“

“I was eyeballing this place for months, finally went and got #1 pork chops and it was just as good as I hoped. 2 big pieces of pork, well done, fluffy soft rice, the pepper & tomato were juicy (everthin just needed a little salt). It's a small place with about 10 tables inside. Lady at the front was nice, wait time is min 15min & prices are fair for the big portion. Located on the corner with parking. Will definitely be back to try the beef kabob.“

“The above mentioned restaurant was first known to me by Korra Obidi, our singing, dancing Princess from the motherland. She performed at your establishment last weekend, where she displayed her amazing skills and talents which warm the hearts of many. I love the ambiance, it’s family oriented atmosphere, and the menu’s presentation spoke volumes. Your restaurant would be a likely family hang out spot, based on Korra’s high regards and recommendations.“

“Food was amazing quality and flavor! Very fresh!Service was perfect! The ladies came out and asked how my meal was and if I needed anything more..The location was very very very clean with good seating and a clear menu... Parking was also ideal and easy to get in and out..This place has potential to grow and I would love to see more locations with the same quality..“

“Great food and cocktails!! 🍸“

“Incredible food and service. Our waiters name was Christian; he was personable, kind, and hospitable. The food was mouthwatering and had such unique flavors. HUGE portions and definitely comfort food as they state. Will definitely be returning to check out the new menu each month.“

“Always a good interaction when coming to Z Falafel. The cooks are such nice guys and always so helpful when I may ask about one of their many options on the menu. I always try to switch up my plate when I come here and not once have I had a disappointing meal from this location. Keep going hard!“

“Great and Tasty Halal Food in town.“

“Our first time and we will definitely go back!!“

“I order from here almost every week. Favorite pita and hummus in town. Adding the wagyu to the hummus is great, but honestly love just getting the hummus straight up. The chicken and wagyu shawarma sandwiches are good, though a bit greasier than the average shawarma spot. Overall one of my favorite spots!“

“Really awesome place to get a shawarma. Big portion, quality ingredients, just very tasty overall. Highly recommend it!!!“

“You can eat the best lahmajo here. They started to make goodas well. They always give me the food warm enough at time when i order by phone. The people are so nice and you can see how clean is their restaurant. The prices are so reasonable.Recommended for you who like lahmajo!!“

“Great food! Excellent service! 😍“

“Very good food Fresh and healthy Owner is always there With a nice smile !“

“Highly highly recommend. Awesome food. Great owner. Great servers. Best babaganoush ever!“

“I went there yesterday for the first time. I got the lamb shawarma plate, and it was wonderful. I will be returning. It may seem a little pricey, but the quality of the food and the generous portions is well worth it.“

“Great food fast and great service“

“This was my second visit to Carousel Hollywood and it was nothing short of amazing . The service , ambiance , selection was outstanding . We tried the Carousel Family Style dishes for 2 . The assortment of dishes (11) and meats (4) was simply a smorgasbord of culinary taste and delight. Can't wait to bring friends and family to Carousel Hollywood and experience this culinary delight with them ....“

“Very impressed with Javan! Service was so helpful and friendly, especially our server Victor. The food was outstanding and so fresh. The combination of flavors in the Alex salad was absolutely outstanding. Our vegetarian Koobideh was delicious. The hummus and babaganoush were perfect. Thank you - we will be back!“

“Came on a Saturday to enjoy Mediterranean BBQ. Staff was amicable, a little slow in serving and taking orders and came to our table with someone else's order. I would highly recommend they do a number system (assign table number to customers for staff to reduce confusion). It was decent food, spices and grilled veggies were good. Chicken was a little thick and hard to cook all the way through those meats. Steak was a bit dry. Seasoned fries and hummus, Pita bread was good. Ambiance was settle, no music or noises. A little pricy but portions are good. Clean establishment. Parking can be a little tight in the parking lot.“

“The best service and the food always amazing! Tastes like its homemade and with so much love! Such nice people with the family vibes is my favorite part! Thank you for always providing at my events! Always my go to spot!“

“Great Chicken 🐔 Kabob plate.“

“What a wonderful experience! I brought my family to enjoy a meal here, and it was pure joy from start to finish. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully served, every bite felt like comfort. My kids were happy, my wife couldn’t stop complimenting the hummus, and I was just grateful to see everyone smiling around the table. The staff treated us with kindness and made us feel right at home. It turned an ordinary evening into a special memory. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Such an amazing place with authentic Armenian and Sryian cuisine. This place has really stepped it up. Food is incredible, one of the best in LA for middle easter, service is attentive and great. The atmosphere is nice but could be better. Hard to hear or have a conversation, could use some acoustic panels and spacing between tables.“

“The Persian pizza is great👌 the beef koobideh kabab is even better and if you want extra healthy food, the chicken breast kebab is juicy, delicious and healthy. The owner Arbi is an amazing person and a great chef. I highly recommend this place.“

“My favorite restaurant without a doubt. The food is fantastic, beef barg is the best filet I’ve ever had and I’m here once a week either for dine-in or pickup. They have this amazing soup I love too it’s got amazing broth and the meat and vegetables are smashed on the side. To top of off, the fresh bread is a beautiful touch!“

“Everything was delish!! No doubts, all of it was fabulous!!“

“First time I ordered the delivery (3rd party) from Mizlala , and despite the courier getting lost and bringing the order in 45 mins - the food was still very fresh and delicious. Next day I was craving it again and decided to visit the place in-person, and my experience was absolutely outstanding: from service to food to
atmosphere at this very cozy location. Most kind and welcoming service by Alex & (the manager, sorry i forgot your name ) . Huge portions, very fair prices, and the food is so delicious and fresh, that you can taste it was made with love ! This is my favorite spot now whenever I crave this cuisine! Thank you so so much !“

“Delicious!!!!! I want to try everything on the menu!!! Order the Adas rice, amazing!!“

“I went here with a group of coworkers on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch (~12pm). Surprisingly, at that time, it wasn't busy. This is a very tiny hole-in-the-wall restaurant that isn't found on the main street of LA. Inside the restaurant is small, so they have tables outside. There is a lot of shade, so it's pleasant to sit outside. Parking, however, could be a hassle if you drive here. The tables are located on the street and near the parking lot. Meaning, it felt like a car could hit a table if it got out of control.

I ordered the combo plate (~$16 at the time of this writing). They gave us extra pita bread because our party was pretty big. Everything tasted fresh and home made. The kebabs were sizzling hot right off the grill. The salad was seasoned and crunchy. The hummus wasn't as flavorful or beany tasting, but I preferred it that way because everything else had flavor. The rice balanced any overwhelming flavor.

I'm typically picky and if I find a Mediterranean food that's good, I just stick with that and don't try anything else until someone else recommends or invites me out to eat. Having said that, I would definitely return here.

Summary:
- CLEANLINESS. Clean. They placed spill pads (almost like the one you'd find in the Boiling Crab) for our tables outside.
- COSTS. $ Affordable. $16 for a decently portioned meal. It will definitely fill you up.
- CUSTOMER SERVICE. The staff was friendly. They gave us extra pita because we had a large party.
- FOOD QUALITY. Good and perfectly balanced. Not too overwhelming on any one specific dish.
- FOOD QUANTITY. Large portion size.
- BATHROOM. I saw a one gender only bathroom near the cash register. (I didn't enter or use it, so I don't know the condition of it.)
- WAIT TIME. About 10-15 minutes total for our group of 6 people to get everything.“

“Great foods and good portions too. 2nd time there and still delicious. 👍🥰“

“This is probably my best middle east restaurant in Los Angeles. Today I prefer to eat boiled lamb with rice . I checked near me i found Yemen Kitchen. I placed an order lamb khabsa togo and some boiled vegetables and fried chicken. Food was really cooked well and delicious. I would like to eat there . They have a good taste in their foods .“

“Amazing food. Great family run business. It’s just like eating a home cooked meal every time. The family is one of the nicest you will meet. Been coming here for a lot of years and the food is consistently great. Also, they do catering for any sized parties.“

“Yes I haven't been here since the pandemic but I recommend it with all of my friends and family“

“Reasonably priced and delicious food!“

“This is the best Mediterranean/Lebanese food in LA. I have not tried a better falafel anywhere in the world yet... Definitely 10 stars!!“

“I’ve been living abroad for years, and this is the first time I’ve found an Iranian restaurant that truly feels like home. The food tasted just like real homemade meals — fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, and the restaurant’s location is super convenient and easy to reach.

I wish I lived in Los Angeles, because I would honestly eat here every single day! Their menu is quite large, and I wish I could try everything, but the portions were generous and I couldn’t finish my plate — otherwise, I would’ve definitely ordered more.

I truly wish them success, and I highly recommend everyone to visit this place!“

“Loved this place AMAZING service with the friendliest staff and the food was delicious reminded me of real home cooking I also had the vegan options Delicious delicious and delicious“
