She was professional, friendly, and genuinely pleasant to communicate with throughout my visit. Her positive attitude and attention to detail made the entire experience much more enjoyable. Great customer service can make all the difference, and Alla is a perfect example of that. Thank you for making everything so easy and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back!“

“This place is under New Management for about three months and the new owners are super friendly. The atmosphere is great. The food is delicious. My favorite is the chicken Lula kebab wrap. If you get the plate, you can ask for hummus on the side or extra tomato sauce. In the plate, you get some Mediterranean style rice with your choice of meat on top.“

“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..“

“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've been going here for over 20 years. Great food, friendly staff. You won't believe the amazing dishes that come out of that kitchen. Don't let the name fool you, I have never had a burger here, my favorite dish... The t-bone steak. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I’ve gone to Rafo’s so many times and haven’t left a review. The chicken thigh sandwich is always so fresh, easy, and juicy. The chicken?! I’ve gotten it at least 5 times now. I had the chicken and beef lule plate once as well and the lule was also super tasty.“

“We had such a wonderful experience at this restaurant! Our group included seven adults and three children, and everyone truly enjoyed their meal. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. We ordered our meat well-done, and it was cooked perfectly—tender, flavorful, and surprisingly juicy, which can be hard to find with well-done meat.

The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Even though we were a large group, everything was handled smoothly, and the service was truly exceptional. This was our first time dining here, but it definitely won’t be our last. We were very impressed and will absolutely be returning as regular customers. Highly recommended!“

“Gumri restaurant has best food, you should try people!“

“Hands down the best middle Eastern restaurant in the Valley. The Adana kebab is to die for: they serve it with a pita bread that is full of the meat juices and spices. It pairs well with their babaghanoush and French fries. The Fattoush salad is also really good and fresh. Also, try their Ashta desert, so yummy!! The service can be a bit slow sometimes, but I think it is meant for you to feel like you are in the Middle East and not feel rushed. This place is a MUST try.“

“I like their foods and workers are super friendly.“

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

“Came to Carousel with a party of 9. Our table was waiting on arrival and the staff was fantastic especially given our time constraints. We let them know we had to be out the door in 90 minutes for a show and they ensured we were fed a feast with time to spare. We did the family style - Hollywood Feast which was a lot of fun. The Hollywood Feast will leave you with days of leftovers which we are now enjoying. Would recommend family style for large groups. All the food was great, everyone agreed the chicken stood out as superb, very juicy and tender. Definitely coming back.“

“delicious food in a beautiful setting.“

“Absolutely loved this restaurant! The food was incredible 10/10! fresh, flavorful and beautifully prepared.

What really made the experience special was the customer service. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming

I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for DELICIOUS and REAL Armenian cuisine. Definitely be coming back!“

“Food was delicious. Meatball soup & Ground chicken + ground beef lule were both good. Unfortunately portions are a bit smaller than most kebab spots. But flavor is still good. Will be returning to try more of their menu. Paid about $34 for what’s seen on photo + soft drink.“

“Delicious , authentic Israeli food just like I’ve had during my visits to Israel. Great staff and welcoming to all!“

“duh its Fresh and Yummy!“

“One of my favorite spots in LA!

I’m always craving their mazeh plate (especially in the sweltering summer, it’s so refreshing and tasty). I swear their smashed olives made the world stop the first time I tried them. Im OBSESSED with their torshi! I legit think about it several times a week.

Honestly everything is good- chicken, potatoes, sandwiches. Barbari bread is out of this world and I always get a few extra slices.

Great beverages too- albaloo spritz and Al’s Palmer are yummy and refreshing.

They have several desserts I’ve been meaning to try but the ferni and sholezard are too good I can’t not order them lol.

The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming and the perfect casual spot to catch up with friends.“

“My husband and love this spot food taste delicious service is great we live in Palmdale but drive to this spot no question ask? we known owner for years he’s really nice guy.

Vegetarian options: You can eat vegetables here

Parking: Good parking

Kid-friendliness: Kids can be welcome

Wheelchair accessibility: Enough parking“

“Have gotten takeout from here a number of times. Never disappointed. Flavorful chicken that's nice and tender, ingredients always seem fresh.
All of the sauces are very tasty and they are very generous with them. The chicken plate and The Get Greeky bowl are, so far, my favorites. Pricing is fair compared to some other places.
Staff is friendly and attentive.“

“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 .“
