“I love how awesome the staff are here it's like speaking to an old friend. Please come in and give them a try! I already tried their sandwiches, which is really wholesome and hearty. Their pizzas are thin crust, but very delicious. I've had the young and the go green!“

“I really Love the lamb chops, dolmas and rice meatball soup. I didn’t take pictures, I was so busy eating my food. My kids loved the chicken kebab. Service is great. As a Latina I feel a little shy when I’m trying different food but they are very nice people and food is delicious.“
“A very pleasant surprise near Universal Studios. We found a nice Indian restaurant.This nice restaurant serves some good favorite Indian dishes that you would be familiar with. The spices are perfect.certainly enjoyable. Medium heat is perfect and may be geared for the spice lovers thus choose accordingly if you are more adventurous they have hot and very hot options.The decor is nice and cleanThe dining room was packed with customers tonight. They are well situated from their long history at this location. The pricing is reflective of all this and is very good value.You will be well satisfied.We’ll be back real soon Royal Curry“
“A small very clean Mexican restaurant it reminded me of places from my childhood. Nice menu choices and a selection of beers. Food tasted like my Mother and grandmother's, 2 fresh Salsas were moderately hot. Can't wait to take my sister when she comes to town.“
“One of the best restaurants, let alone vegetarian eateries, in Los Angeles.I recently had the pleasure of bringing a friend visiting from San Francisco (omnivore) to enjoy Olivia's incredible menu offering—in all, we ordered the Crispy Chicken starter, Ricotta Pizza, and Cavatelli pasta. Don't let the food be the only thing that catches your eye though: their wine menu is splendid and their servers will be able to suggest something that pairs nicely with your selected courses. Prior to this dinner, I had eaten at Olivia 5-6 times and had no idea Anderson Paak was one of the people behind this incredible concept—imagine my surprise when he walks in the door to enjoy dinner with a few of his friends. This place is a true treat and I hope it continued success!“
“Great food and really nice looking restaurant. I was a few minutes later than expected picking up my food and the server mentioned they were just about to call. Very friendly and courteous service.All of the food was great, but the Bang Bang Broccoli and the It’s a Hit (tempura jalapeño) were especially special (intentionally saying special here twice).Will definitely be back again and happy to be living so close by!“
“I am not exaggerating when I say that lunch at Mother Tongue surpassed our wildest expectations. Truly, if I could gave this place 10 stars, I would! Everything from the very friendly, efficient service to the wonderful atmosphere (just loved their decor, color scheme and relaxing background music) to the excellent food was outstanding! They made our wedding anniversary lunch really special! Recommend the delicious black kale salad and wild salmon bowl. Their yuzu pana cotta and soft serve sundae desserts are to die for!! Will definitely be back and highly recommend!“
“Went there for happy hour with some girlfriends. Not that impressed by their vegan food…I’m not a vegan so the faking meat really didn’t help me… but the margarita was really impressive! Smoky and citrus- infused. Love it! Very good price during happy hours too. Will come back again ?“
“4 of us had an excellent meal! Appetizers were creative and tasty!! Pizza and gnocchi dishes were best entrees. Matcha chocolate cake and lemon cheesecake were a wonderful way to end the dining experience!! Wait staff were friendly and had helpful suggestions. Hope to return to The Butcher's Daughter again and again!“
“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).“
“Overall the food was AMAZING! ? This was my first time ever trying Indian cuisine and my god it was so tasty! They don’t skimp on the portions at all! I paid around $37 and they gave me enough food to feed a family of 3! lol ? Honesty I recommend this place. If I knew this hidden jem existed before I would’ve reviewed this place earlier lol“
“Quaint little restaurant about a mile from Universal Studios. Awesome Thai vegan offerings with wonderful service and atmosphere. Very convenient location to local hotels, as well!Vegetarian options: Good vegan meats. I had the eggplant and tofu, others had curries. Very yummy!“
“Not only do I go there on a regular basis, but I just rented the private room and back patio to celebrate my 60th Birthday Party! Special thank you to Emma! She managed my party perfectly. Emma was on top of everything every step of the way! She is smart and friendly and efficient! I could not have pulled this off without her! Thank you to Ceaser and Orlando as well for their help.I look forward to future events at this store and Laguna location!Dietary restrictions: Pizzas and sliders and Hummus are amazing!“
“I could eat here every day. Part of decision on me buying a house was that it had to be within walking distance to a Backyard Bowls locations. And I kept that condition. It’s that good.The staff is always welcoming and friendly. They do get busy but they’re quite efficient.I generally get green bowl w almond butter on top or the island bowl if I’m in mood for something sweet. Perfect after a morning session of beach volleyballAvo egg toast is also brilliant. Perfect cooking of the egg and toasting every time. Wish they’d bring back the pb&j oat meal bowl“
“This restaurant is so great! My husband and some friends and I had a wonderful experience eating here. The atmosphere is cozy but with plenty of table space. We ordered several dishes to share and we enjoyed them all. I would highly recommend the popcorn vegan roll for sharing. We loved the sushi as well. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.Vegetarian options: Vegan and vegetarian options“
“Had the fundido and it was amazing. Loved the broccoli on top and the blue corn chips were perfectly salted. Taquitos were delicious. The chickpeas were so creamy and the flavor was spectacular Banana cream pie was so good. Crunchy and smooth at the same time.“
“Totally amazed by the great selection and quality of the food at lunch buffet. It was really good. They had chicken biryani, goat curry, chicken tikka massala, tandoori, chicken and so many other dishes. They also Chai tea and a good selection of sweet desserts. A gem of a spot and I'm glad I chanced upon it. This will be my go to for Indian buffet, authentic. Service was top notch too!!“
“Omg, everything was good! One of the best vegan orange chicken and pineapple fried rice, delicious dumplings and veggie broth soup. The unsweetened Arnold Palmer drink was so refreshing. Good prices and nice area, I will come back.Vegetarian options: Really good quality vegetarian Thai“
“First time trying from this local restaurant and ordering for a party. It did not disappoint from the flavor to the service they provided. Ordering was easy over the phone and the staff was so friendly they helped bring the food to the car. I would definitely order again for all my party needs. All my guests loved the food so much from Mexicans to Filipinos ????“
“This is one of my favorite vegan restaurants. It's actually a Thai restaurant and it's so amazing. Start with the soup. It's so delicious and authentically thai. I've never had a bad meal here and it's definitely one of my staples for Los Angeles. Yes, it is completely vegan!Vegetarian options: Menu is all vegan“
“Unique menu with lots of variety, wonderful staff, and sweet atmosphere. You find a table and the order at the counter to have dishes brought to you. The staff is very accommodating for vegetarian/vegan and gluten-free preferences. Some items are marked as such and you can ask for modifications of most dishes when you order. Loved all the drink options, with the choice of adding boba and swapping for non-dairy milk too. I found free street parking on Lucerne. Looking forward to returning.Vegetarian options: Very accommodating for vegetarian/vegan and gluten-free preferences.

“Wow. I liked Indimex before they changed management, now I love it! I wrote a review 7 years ago with a follow up 6 years ago pre covid. Remember when? During Covid and even more recently, I would order and have it delivered. But tonight I saw they were open and there was parking space right in front so I went in person. Wonderfully warm new owner, quaint dining room albeit small but remodeled and the new owner has plans for more. - feels more authentically Indian with a Mexican twist. Indian movie posters and music, colorful walls and tables. Their Chicken Tikka Masala sauce is the real deal as is the raita. Delicious. The chicken tikka masala quesadillas are reasonable and filling. I'm so glad they survived Covid and with this new management I'm excited to see what comes next. Have an adventure as I said in my original posting 7 years ago. Tired of the same old same old? Support local businesses. And enjoy!“
“I am so happy I found this place!! This was one of my first times in Sherman Oaks, and I just wanted to find something to eat that would make me feel good and not run down when I’m on the go, so I’m stoked I found Harvest Bar. I’m not vegan but I love places that can make even a meat eater like myself love eating things like jackfruit nachos. The smoothie was delicious too and my friend got an acai bowl that was super fresh. Definitely gonna make this a go to spot when I’m over that way“
“I've been coming here for years, I can't believe I haven't written a review! I love their food. My favorite item to order is their mung bean pad thai, although I wish there was an option to get it with soy chicken or beef and not just tofu skewers. The tofu cubes are huge so the flavor doesn't really penetrate them. I like this dish because the noodles and veggies are flavorful. My family also enjoys cashew nut lover dish and the buddha rolls. Those are so filling, I can just get those and be happy. If you like thai tea, you must try it here. So good. One star off because parking is difficult, especially on weekends, and it's a little pricy for me. The good thing is that inflation has led to all restaurants raising their prices in the last couple of years, so I am more used to it and not as bothered as I used to be . Note: the seats are incredibly uncomfortable so if you dine in and have back issues like me, bring a cushion.“
“This is one of the few vegan Mexican restaurants that I truly admire and appreciate. As a true Latina I enjoyed delicious Mexican food. Their food is organic, vegan, and fairly clean. I say fairly because they use Daiya cheese, which is toxic and unhealthy. But if you avoid their cheese, you're good. But I appreciate and I am thankful that their food is not cooked in toxic seed oil. All their food except for their deserts are cooked with olive oil. This is a true healthy vegan place, minus the cheeses lol! You should give it a try tho. The service was good. The ambience is pretty chill and welcoming. Their hot drinks are great. Their crêpes are amazing as well as their waffles!!!. But sadly, their Tlayuda lacked flavor, it was small for the price, and very bland. Would not recommend it. But overall my experience with this establishment was beyond from what I expected. Please support it! We need more places like this one who really care about providing healthy and mostly nontoxic food to people. A true gem“
“I asked Vegan AF to cater an event for about 50-60 diverse people and Chanel killed it. Our guests said they would be fully converted to veganism if it meant eating her hand-fried crispy wraps stuffed with a flavorable combination of vegetables and faux meats. This is really important to my family who tease me for being vegetarian.She showed up early so we had time to organize things in the party room to best serve her needs and the flow of the event. The pink containers and branding made sure that everyone who loved her food would be able to find her. There were a lot of designers, so branding was important.Most importantly, Vegan AF complimented the community festival vibe of the night. I look forward to eating Vegan AF again and again as many of the guests that night. Thank you, Chanel.“
“Very much enjoyed the food and experience here. Small quaint place with charm and authenticity. I had the vegan pad Thai which was well prepared, and the tofu and vegan chicken were tasty and nicely incorporated. Would love to try the curries next time.“
“Best Indian food I've ever had. Everytime I've ordered elsewhere since ordering from here I've been disappointed. My GO TO Indian spot & it will never be rivaled! I always get the veggie coconut curry, basmati rice, veggie samosas, raita, mint sauce & mango chutney, and the cheese naan. And a mango lassi & gulab for dessert of course. Consistent and delicious. Love yall!“
“Beautiful Restaurant, Lovely Customer Service & The flowers in the back smell so good. The Brussel Sprouts were the most seasoned Brussel Sprouts, that I have ever had in my life. My favorite was the tacos, they will bring me back. They just tasted so fresh, delicious and full of flavor. The cashew cheese was also very good and the potatoes where cool too “
“Amazing options! I especially love the peanut satay and curries. There’s good variety on the menu if folks are craving different things. Very casual on the inside but great service and great for takeout as well.Dietary restrictions: All vegan, baby! I’m not gluten-free but there are plenty of options available as well from what I can see.“
“La La Lasagna is to die for and if I was dying, I would want this as my last meal. I'm not being hyperbolic when I say this is my favorite food to eat *ever* and I have a child-like giddiness when I have the chance to stop by this truck.Chef Michelangelo is the nicest man on the planet and I'm happy to give him all my money. Do yourself a big favor and RUN to get some.“
“Thanks to our fabulous server, Joshua- everything was perfect! Two members of our party had finished the LA Marathon and Josh went out of his way to make sure they got everything exactly as they wished. He treated them like Kings - which they deserved. The food, as usual, was fresh and delicious and fantastic. Major props to the whole kitchen crew for doing such a great job on such a busy day. Also- the grass fed beef in the true blue burger is amazingly tender and fresh. Only to be topped by the grass fed ice cream on top of freshly baked chocolate chunk cookies.“

“The ambiance of this establishment is truly unique in the Los Angeles area. The tropical atmosphere is aesthetically pleasing and the cocktails are expertly crafted. Regrettably, the menu options are rather limited as several items are no longer offered so feels more like bar food than a full dinner menu. Nevertheless, the exceptional service provided by the staff is commendable. I highly recommend this venue for pre-dinner drinks with colleagues or for a casual evening out.“
“I love this place. They have the best falafel I've ever had. The hummus and flatbread are so delicious. And the staff is always super friendly. I can't recommend this place enough. It's outstanding.Vegetarian options: Falafel, hummus, pita, Jerusalem salad, pickled veggies, harira soup.Dietary restrictions: Great options if you're eating a Mediterranean diet.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible.“

“One of the best vegan brunch/ bakery spots. EVERYTHING I've had here was delicious! The place is small but decent size outdoor seating area. Avocado toast, truffle melt and cauliflower lavash tacos were so yum!!!! Their cakes are beautiful and delish too, gotta order in advance! Service is always excellent! Limited parking, but can park on the meters.“
“Decent food for the price. We got the chicken bowl, one with rice and hummus the other with lettuce and cucumber yogurt. Both were tasty and kept us full until dinner. The hummus was good and was not too strong with any one flavor. The chicken was seasoned well and moist. The yogurt was not too bitter and the cucumber gives a nice crunch. This is a great place to get a grab and go lunch.“
“Oh my God, you guys! It's like Aziz Ansari once said, 'Treat yo' self!' And that's exactly what I do at 818 - the late-night savior of my hunger pangs! Picture this: it's 10 PM in Glendale, and everything else is snoozing, but not 818, oh no! They're like the Batman of restaurants, always there when you need them. Their chicken? It's like a high-five in your mouth! Crispy, juicy, and totally kosher – it's like they're frying up happiness. And the staff? Superheroes in aprons, I tell you! They guide you through the menu like a tasty treasure map, helping you discover culinary gold. Hungry for a pressed chicken sandwich with a twist? They've got you covered. Craving their signature chicken sandwich with that crunchy coleslaw and tangy pickles? Boom, your taste buds are in for a party! This place isn't just a restaurant, it's my culinary soulmate. Always open, always awesome. So, go on, treat yo' self and check them out!“
“I can’t believe it took me so long to come here. The food was great. I got the Santa Fe chicken with fries. Perfect. The fries were my favorite. The service was great too. They made sure everything was good. Definitely becoming a regular here.“

“Put simply, my favorite restaurant of all time is Leonore's. I love it, and I can't say enough good things about this place. My favorite meal there is their soy chicken enchilada dinner, and I add a beet salad and a flaxseed tea. And their waitress Amy is terrific.“
“Cafe gratitude is a great place to meet up, especially considering the busy area it’s in. It can be a bit pricey, but most lattes in this city are expensive.They are a vegan only restaurant, which means no normal milk. I didn’t mind too much, but I do prefer normal milk. The pastries were nice, and fairly priced. The rest of the food is pretty pricey.Dietary restrictions: Only vegan milks, no animal milks“
“I am a meat first guy, kinda anti-vegan, and a burger connoisseur. This place may have had one of the best burgers I've had in my 40+ years on Earth. Staff is super nice too. Wouls highly recommend if you're in town.✌? From Chicago.“
“I think the place is very nice, spectacular onion rings, good burgers, avocado toast, thousands of beers and sports... nothing can go wrong. I definitely loved it Parking: It is in a shopping center, parking is free.Kid-friendliness: It's a restaurant.“
“Anytime I read about great LA restaurants, this place never comes up, and I'm not sure why. We've been coming here for years and have never gotten anything short of an excellent meal. We've only dined in once, but the service was fantastic and they made us feel like family. Highly recommended any of the fried rice or wing options. Curry is excellent as well!“
“I just tried the passion salad , the awake, and vibrant salad. I would definitely recommend this place. And that sneaky guy put some banana pudding in my bag, which I did not order, but OMG I'm glad he did. I will be ordering that banana pudding from here on out. It was amazing!“
“Went to grab dinner here before a Laker game and absolutely loved it. We ordered the Mekhani chicken, basmati rice, garlic naan, and vegetable samosas and it was all delicious. We also had a mango lassi and masala tea, which were fantastic. The service was great, super kind man who chatted with us a bit. He kindly gave us some free dessert at the end, which was also delicious (I forgot what it was called but it was shredded carrot in a sweet milk with nuts. So good!). It is cash/Venmo only, so be prepared with either.“
“Always love coming to Doomies when I am in LA. This is is one of my top fast food style eateries as a vegan. Everything I have had from here has just been so delicious and a treat to eat. I don't think I've had their desserts yet, but they are so massive I may not end my quick trip here without trying a slice.I had the pulled pork for the first time, and I was so glad to see 'not jackfruit', I had to try. Delicious!!Wife had the burger and she loved it as well. Cheese fries and a drink from the freestyle machine sets it all off!“
“This is hole in the wall kind of small restaurant at Melrose. Since we are vegetarians, we were excited to see a plant based taco place. The food was good but the portions are a bit smaller than other usual specially the bowls. We tried traditional burritos, bowls, chips and guacamole. We also dared to go for a ghost taco but it was extremely hot. So I won’t recommend that. Overall we have eaten better tasting Mexican food at other places but going safe and vegan, this is a good option.Vegetarian options: Everything in this restaurant is plant based including the choices of protein and cheeses.Dietary restrictions: Vegan plant basedParking: We found parking on the street easily on a Friday evening.Kid-friendliness: They have kids menu“
“This Indian vegetarian restaurant offers a delightful dining experience with authentic flavours. The menu is diverse, lot of chat options and one of the best samosa chat i have had in a long time. Highly recommended for anyone craving for delicious vegetarian Indian cuisine.“
“This place is great for vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters who likes vegetarian foods. Something for everyone. I love how they do buy one get one free as it give opportunities to try all the foods. They were recently bought buy another company, hopefully there will not be lots of changes.Great size. There are salads, bowls, sandwiches, burgers and more. Lots of drinks options too“
“So good! I tried a number of menu items and loved each. The shrimp soup was perfectly spicy and packed with wonderful flavors, the appetizers (hot wings and chicken skewers) were outstanding and my entree - pad see ew with beef was just perfect. The service was ideal - helpful fast and informative. I'll definitely be back very often!“
