“It was recommended and was my first time trying this place. No regrets! Food - I ordered a grilled cheese bowl. It comes with 4 pieces of grilled sliced cheese, two types of seasoned rice, hummus and salad. It was a perfect size for me. Salad was crunchy, everything tasted freshly prepared and delicious! Service - I can't ask better! I received friendly, welcoming and perfect service! I'm so glad that I tried this place out. I'll definitely come back again and this place is highly recommended to everyone. There are 2 other locations as well, just to mention. It's really worth trying, if you haven't tried yet.“
“We stumbled upon this gem while visiting for a trade show. Looking for a fresh, nourishing salad we wandered into Kareem’s. Not only was the food beyond our expectations (falafels to die for) but Nora and her Motger were delightful hosts! We will be back and maybe even again tomorrow night!“
“Nadoosh Shawarma is the best shawarma in Orange County, hands down. The friendly cook provides prompt service with delicious and filling meals. Grease and salt are not too over-the-top and the sauces are mesmerizing (that garlic tahini tho). I literally visited twice in the same week. This is like something out of Curb your Enthusiasm, you get it into your stomach and you won't get it out of your head. A food truck to remember and to share with your friends, do not sleep on one of the best hidden dining experiences of SoCal.DON'T GO TO THE RALLY'S ACROSS THE STREET.Dietary restrictions: Halal, with vegetarian options available.Parking: Off-street lot. Near a salon.Wheelchair accessibility: Open space, clearly marked.“
“Sofreh offers an authentic taste of Persian cuisine with delightful flavors and aromatic spices. Each dish is meticulously prepared, showcasing the rich culinary heritage of Iran. From succulent kebabs to fragrant rice dishes, Sofreh delivers a memorable dining experience.Parking: There’s no parking, so you have to drive around and find street parking elsewhere.“
“My wife and I stopped in here after our massage appointment in the area - I am so glad we did because the food was amazing! We ordered the combo koobideh plate (beef and chicken) and chicken koobideh plate. We were greeted by the owner when we came out and he was so kind and offered excellent customer service. He also gave us free rice on the house! Everything was absolutely delicious!! The kabobs were flavorful, the bread was soft and fluffy and the sauces were delicious. I believe the white garlic sauce and hot sauce were made in house and they were so good! We will definitely be back next time we are in the area. Highly recommend lol“
“Hands Down The Best DIPS EVER!!! Found these dips at a farmers market and fell in love. I now can get them anytime i want! There is not much to say, all of them are great, i love mixing the garlic spread on a pita then adding a humus and feta cheese to it for a light snack. My all time favorite, the Feta and Pesto Dip!The service is amazing, it always has. Always up for questions and love share their passion for the food that makes up their culture.“
“City of Paramount and local restaurants partnered up and gave away $50 gift cards. Lucky for me I scored on one, took advantage and chose Fatima's to finally try it out. The Downey location is always packed so I was happy to see a new location closer to me and hope I'd like it. My chile relleno burrito did not disappoint! I recently tried one at a different restaurant and felt the relleno was pointless and was not impressed. Fatima's burrito changed my perspective on that and the chile relleno with all the cheese was life! 4/5 only thing I wish they had was a good spicy/hot salsa to pair with it. I snagged the roasted hot jalapeno off my friends Chicken Kabob plate. Chicken 4/5 was good, juicy & flavor able but the rice 2/5 I was not a fan of. Tried the Birria Taco 3/5 they are generous with the meat because it came in 2 tortillas I was able to make 2 tacos out of the 1 and share it. The fish taco here was not to our liking. I do look forward to returning and trying other menu items. Also had good service.“
“Went there during lunch rush but was still seated quickly. Good energy. Clean environment. Friendly staff. Had music playing in the background, not too loud that you can't talk with another person.I had a salad and surprisingly got full.Parking is paid parking, it is located on 2nd street.“
“Love this place! The food is always great and the quantity for the price is more than fair, in my opinion. My wife and I eat here once or twice a month, sometimes more. The staff is super friendly as well. I highly recommend and if you live nearby, definitely give them a shot.“
“Wow, just wow. Their food is fantastic - we've had both the chicken and beef donner and kebabs, kafte, the boats (spicy lahamajun is awesome), flatbreads, sarma beyti (our favorite), baklava, and kanafa.Friendly service, and reasonably priced too (Yay!).“
“I’ve been meaning to stop by this place for years. I’m kicking myself for waiting so long. First, the place is so welcoming and open. I remember when it was a KFC and I cannot believe how great they made it look. The staff was awesome! When I walked in they were joking around with each other like pals! Back and front staff! It’s rare to see such a positive team feeling like this! The manager was also very welcoming and gave great suggestions and was incredibly friendly and helpful. I don’t know what these negative reviews are talking about. The portions are great, and you get more for what you pay. The meat was quality white chicken breast meat which is no surprise because they have a carniceria on site! The meal felt homemade. The salad was fresh and the hummus tasted like it was made that morning. Great experience! Im definitely making this a regular spot!“

“Have been coming to LBX for a while now to try new things and I can definitely say that this is now one of my favorite places to go to. Shout out to Jesus for being extremely nice and recommending me a dish that was absolutely delicious! I will definitely be coming back and bringing my friends and family along with me next time.“

“We tried habibi grill first time . We order shawarma wrap and taaooq plater ,hummus and kunafa. Everything was so delicious and tasty like not over cooked neither less cooked everything on point ! Wanna eat those again and again . 100 % recommend if you like Mediterranean.Must go place and chef was so Nice man and knew how to cook! ?“
“The staff was friendly and very attentive. I dined with a party of 6 and everyone seemed to enjoy the food and the portions were generous . We shared the mezza appetizer which was delicious and definitely enough for the 6 of us. I ordered a chicken bowl which was tasty but the chicken kabob was overcooked.“
“I tried this place for lunch today. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the restaurant. The menu has good variety and the prices were reasonable. I ordered a shaved beef and lamb wrap, which was delicious! The serving size was a footlong size, so I brought home half for another meal. I will definitely go back again.“
“First time coming here and I’m glad we have it a try! Mo was patient & explained what each plate was. We ended up getting the beef and chicken shawarma plates with the hummus & eggplant. SO GOOD!! Meat was juicy and the salads were fresh and crisp. So good we forgot to take pictures! Baklava was delicious too!“
“This is my favorite place to treat myself during the week. I go here with my partner every chance I get. The food is absolutely amazing. The options are endless and I try to get something new every time I go. The entire staff is outstanding. The owners are very welcoming and passionate. Liza is very sweet, kind, and a character. Stephanie is very kind as well. 10/10 would recommend this spot. All 100% halal!“
“As entreprenuers we travel the world and the unknown and get to have great experiences with people. Today we visited World Famous Grill in Downey and Hassan was the perfect gentleman. He helped us with a Kabob Combo Plate with hummus, rice salad and pita bread along with their famous Western Burger which was monstrous and delicious. Our daughter was also able to order chicken nuggets and fries as well. We appreciate these small businesses opposed to all the BIG corporations who usually say no to us asking for food. Thank you again World Famous Grill.“
“Nice Family Owned Spot, You can tell the food is prepared well. Tastes great too, I had the chicken shawarma combo plate with salad, hummus, and rice. Good portion and great tastes as well. Best part was very economical compared to some other famous spots around town.“
“Came to this spot for the first time last Friday on a double date ! Very cute spot for a date night or even with friends and family . It’s a cute restaurant. Luckily we made reservations because it’s very busy ! Omgosh the pita and the beef hummus and labneh ! Was my favorite ! The desserts were all so good too ! We ordered the fatoush salad and the rice - excellent ! We kept ordering pita - remember they aren’t free ! The price is a little steep but the food and the service were good so we were pleased !Parking: There’s a lot on that street“
“Been past this place hundreds of times, finally ordered out and I am glad I did! Compared to any other Mediterranean grill this is the best! Everything was seasoned to perfection, full of flavor, and filling.We got the Shwarma mix plate and the Kabob Mix plate, that way we were able to try the chicken and beef. The kabobs : amazing, the beef was perfectly grilled and seasoned. The chicken was garlicky and char grilled but not burnt. The beef shwarma was full of flavor as well as the chicken.I'm typically not the biggest hummus fan as I've had a lot that have been pasty or gritty, lacked flavor or too oily. This hummus was great! I tried it thinking meh I'll probably let my husband have it bit after the first bite I devoured it with the pita.Oh the rice! Wow! It was buttery and tasted like it was cooked in a broth.I went in not expecting to be so pleased with our meal and by the time we finished everything, we were satisfied and know know where to grab amazing Mediterranean food whenever we crave it. It was about $20 per plate per person but the quality of the food, the taste and the portion is well worth it!“
“Everything was great. Atmosphere was amazing. Drinks took awhile and my friend whose birthday it was never got her second drink. And when it was time to pay I wanted to leave a little early so I had the waiter split my bill plus the birthday girl's drink and he ended up charging me the remainder on my card which was $130 instead of the $68 eventually we put everything on my card and had two transactions on my card instead of voiding it and having that amount pinned on my bank account. For what it's worth if this happens to you especially if you go in a large party remember that it is best to just zelle each other then void the transaction and have multiple pending transactions on your bank account. I was a little disappointed that all the waiter wanted to offer was to void the whole thing because as a server myself I know that this causes multiple pending transactions. So from both the customers point of view and the servers to make your life easier and theirs remember that nobody's perfect and mistakes can be made and if you can take the initiative to lead your group so that the money isn't lost in cyberspace so that not only the bill gets paid but everybody feels like they put a fair amount in then your experience will be a good one even if it seems like it's going south. So in conclusion I ended up staying a little bit longer than I wanted to but I felt like this was an experience that had to be shared and I hope this is helpful for people in the future.“
“Their grilled vegetables are snapping! Love their green sauce (not the Mexican one and I think it’s called chimichurri or something like that), it goes really well with the grilled chicken and vegetables we ordered. Love the hummus and yogurt, salad and the dressing. Clean and tidy. Friendly staff. The owner/chief who was with us patiently help us out with the choices for the bowl and very passionate about delivering friendly service. Definitely will visit again! Very healthy options too!Vegetarian options: Grilled vegetables, salad, hummus, corn, tomatoes and cucumber toppings, vegetarian sauce and salad dressing“
“My family and I love stopping by at this location for a meal whenever we in town visit my parents. I never get disappointed. Last night, 12/23/23, our meals were not prepared correctly. What impressed me is that they rectify it immediately without any negative attitudes. Compliments to the manager and staff at this location for continuously making my family’s and mine dining experience so enjoyable. Thank you.“
“I’ve been ordering off of DoorDash and honestly this is my new favorite place the 1st time ordered the food blew my mind. Even my mother who’s picky on certain foods was also amazed. I found my new favorite place.Kid-friendliness: has kid friendly foods fish and chips and chicken nuggets.“
“Hidden gem alert. Really great middle eastern food. The beef, chicken, and kofta kebabs were all moist and delicious. The rice fluffy and the baklava is to die for. All reasonably priced and super friendly and sweet service from the family. Highly recommended!“
“Was looking for a quick bite to eat and stumbled across this restaurant tucked away in an industrial area. It was a great find. I ordered a gyro sandwich #17 that was fantastic. The potato side was ok. Good taste but a little too wet feeling for me. The other dish was #19 the works, very good and more food than could be eaten at one sitting. The food and service was great. We came a bit before lunch but I could it would be very busy during a lunch rush .“
“We love Adana Grill! The generous portions of exquisitely seasoned tender meats and fresh savory sides offer texture and flavors that compliment perfectly. Whether creamy or crunchy , roasted or pickled there is something for everyone here. We often start with the crispy Cheese rolls or Kibbeh. The house special Adana Kebab is excellent, and chicken and beef kebabs are some of our favorites. Don’t forget to finish your meal with Turkish tea and sweet treats of baklava and Turkish delight. Beautiful photography and lively music complete the casual atmosphere. Every meal we have here, or take home , we end saying, “That was so delicious and satisfying. I am so happy”!Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly Great for family, date, friends group or just solo mealWheelchair accessibility: Easy roll up to tables for 1-“
“This is one of my all-time favorites. Their menu is rich and covers both authentic Levantine and Turkish cuisines. The kitchen staff are Turkish/Levantine. Their Manakeesh (Zaatar, Muhammara, Cheese) are sensational. Their foul (Fava beans Arabic breakfast) are super, and the servers (Sari and Waseem) are great at what they do. Very good people, very good restaurant. 10/10 would recommend ??Parking: Very easy to find parkingKid-friendliness: I see families with kids most of the time“

“When you want to eat something filling, fresh and tasty, this is your place! The gyros are so tasty, I've had both the lamb and chicken. Both are meaty and fresh tasting. You can taste all the ingredients. The fries are so good, and they stay crispy. Highly recommend a side of the potatoes. They are so good! Everything I've had has been great. The plates are great to share too. If you are really hungry I recommend the Zeus Fries. They are enough for multiple people. Give this place a try and you'll be hooked!Parking: Plenty of parking in the back“

“Late lunch so we did a quick grab and go from Mazaya. We paid for it - relax. The grape leaves are absolutely my favorite. Hummus is a solid choice. The French fries are like those late night post party open late burger stop. They have a crunch, soft tasty center and season with good ol’ salt. The chicken this time was a little dry but that’s ok. Wont stop us from going back. Services are quick and the place is clean and comfortable.“
“This place is fantastic! It was my first time and I loved it! So much food choices, I couldn't try them all. I will definitely return. The only thing I was not so impressed with was the dessert bar but everything else was that I tried was delicious.“
“This place is the best from head to toe!From the cleanliness, the most friendly staff and owners to the out of this world food and wine!!The Amethystos Greek wine is some of the best I've ever had, and we get it by the bottle every time we are addicted! The lamb chops are the best I've ever had anywhere, very tender, juicy, and flavorful!Don't miss out on this gem on 2nd street!! They are dog friendly too on their outdoor patio!Parking: It's all street parking with meters. I do believe meters are free after a certain time but not sure.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs and a ramp leads you in the entrance.“
“Usually when restaurants serve several types of cuisines, the food is usually mediocre. Z's is the exception. I have been coming here for years, before they moved to this newer location, and their food is always good. My favorite is the beef kabob plate, much better than any Mediteranean restaurants in the area, hands down. I used to go to others, but they either changed the type of meat or ingredients to lower quality. Z's quality is always been the bestt, juicy and flavorful. Please never change . Also, their staff is consistently friendly; always smiling and doing extra.“
“If I could give the service 10 stars I would. This place is seriously amazing. The staff Austin and Leo are ALWAYS friendly and helpful. Wonderful dishes. Great price. Perfect service. What more can you ask for in a restaurant? Need to check this place out in downtown Long Beach asap!!Parking: Park at the Hubb for the first two hours free !“

“I’m so so sorry for all those that miss out on this little gem tucked away in this little strip mall cause you’re certainly missing out on some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve had in ages. Superblylicious!!! The place is small and very unassuming and in fact I thought I had walked in the wrong place if not for the yummalicious smell of the food in the air that had pulled me further in…my son picked this place out but I’d been wanting to try it for several months. I had the Lamb kabab dinner my son had the steak and then ordered a chicken kabab on the side. They were so delicious and tender I will order all 3 again. Yep. All THREE and share. Oh oh…the Garlic potatoes are off the rocker. So Ah-May-Zing! One order is enough for 2 people. But let’s talk hummus…seriously let’s talk. I love hummus and they do hummus. 5 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ for the hummus. So to recap we ordered the kabab dinner which are served over a huge bed of fluffy flavored rice with a grilled onion and tomato, huge serving of hummus ❤️ plus pita bread, salad, pickled spicy onions and the best garlic dip EHVERRRR! They have wraps, bowls and all kinds of items. The food is done right and I’m already planning to go back this week. They have 2 other locations. The one in Long Beach is a larger restaurant that is a larger dine in serves wine and beer. Going to try there too.“
“We arrived on the late side for a Sunday night, but the gracious ladies quickly seated us and brought the menus. We all decided on the kebab plates: 1 chicken, 1 lamb, and 1 salmon! All were cooked to perfection and served quickly. We did decide to add a half order of humus, as well!“
“We are so Grateful For George Greek Cafe! Mike the manager was so gracious and helped us with a HUGE MEAL! We had 4 gyro sandwiches a Greek Salas rice and they gave us 4 water bottles! And all the food......YUMMY! Make sure you support this great restaurant.“
“This place is really good. Service was great. I got the chicken bowl this time. Rice has good flavor, the chicken was cooked perfectly soft, tender and full of flavor veggies are fresh and not over cooked. Their pomegranate sauce and garlic sauce go perfectly well with the bowl.“
“What a gem hidden inside of a corner liquor store!Popped into here for lunch with my dad (a syrian man, born and immigrated, so he knows his arabic food).I had the chicken shish tawook plate, he had the falafel "tacos"Both items were excellent. The value was high, the service was friendly... and if I didn't mention it the food was great.Ambiance was kind of funny being in a liquor store to order, but i've had great food in all kinds of gas stations.. so why not?“
“Amazing experience, this is the only way I can describe our visit. I ordered the eggplant and my wife ordered the falafel. Food was as authentic as I remember it from my living and visiting the Middle East. we will definitely visit Yalla again.“
“Nice place, arabic environment, hookahs, mix grill, arabic tea and coffee, Barbican and some old Egyptian sodas. Capacious place with out door, in-tent, and indoor places. Staying as late as 2am!! People are friendly, good new administration.“
“This is one of my weekly lunch "Go to's". Always fresh and delicious. The service is top notch and the crew is super friendly! Used to get the gyros and now get the plate with beef. Love that white sauce on top but careful with the hot sauce... It's hot!! I love spice so I mix the hot sauce together with the white sauce on the container lid before adding it to the food for a consistent heat distribution.“
“Quarantine Review! Discovered Kassi Club via Off The Menu and I have to say that of all of the restaurants that I miss due to COVID-19, this is pretty high up on that list. This is a wonderful spot that's got a relaxing and romantic atmosphere. It's cozy, cool, and has a great view of a pretty busy street. The food here was delicious too. Their appetizers/salads and lamb pie were amazing. You can just tell that a lot of care and thought went into creating the atmosphere/menu/training employees. Wonderful experience and I can't wait to sit back down and enjoy a meal again. Please note that parking is pretty tough so come early or maybe you can park at the beverly connection.“
“Nancy at the counter is always fast and efficient. She really knows her menu! They have a variety of plates, salads, wraps, and sides. A few of my fan favorites include the works, which comes with a little bit of everything, kafta, beef, chicken, two falafel balls and two step grape leaves. Chicken wrap is made with pita bread, garlic paste, lettuce, tomatoes, and homemade salad dressing. The sides forBesides for your wraps are pickled turnips and your choice of spicy potatoes or salad. My favorite salad would be the grilled veggie salad with protein optional it has onions, bell peppers, zucchinis, yellow squash, and corn, all grilled and topped with their homemade balsamic dressing and feta cheese. Their stuffed grape leaves and falafel are always a hit as well. I have yet to try their baklava, but that is next on my list they’re located in a food plaza, so there are a bunch of other eating establishments as well and their dining areas and restrooms are always spotless. Most of the establishments have the restroom code and Wi-Fi password posted or if they don’t, you can always ask! The TVs mainly play the news and they have connections if you need to charge your phone or laptop overall, this is one of my favorite places to eat. If you decide to go check this place out at the counter know Roxy sent you!Vegetarian options: Falafel balls, hummus, grapes leaves, eggplant wrap, fattouche, tabouli, baba ghanoush, grilled vegetable salad, house salad, Cesar salad, Greek salad.“
“It was terrible. From the time we walked in it was like what are you doing here. It took them forever to bring a menu & even water it was as if they didn't want us there. Then the waitress trick us to order this meal for 2 people which cost us almost $80. which we split the bill. The manager didn't help at all because we call her to the table. We were the only black people in the place.“
“Modern interior yet cozy and warm.Service is excellent - attentive but not hovering or rushing you to make selections.Menus are well balanced with a variety of classic and new combinations of favorites and more importantly everything was delicious - great cocktails, yummy pastas, fish and juicy steaks + short ribs!!!“
“Omg I love this place I been here probably about 10 times. Place is always clean and quiet there customer service is fantastic the cooks even better ! I eat the shrimp plate with rice and Caesar salad there garlic sauce is a key to the meal I love it everything is always made so perfect ! The taste and the presentation of the food is amazing I literally love Greek food and this place doesn't disappoint ever . I could go on and on how much I love this place ! It's a must“
“I was craving some Mediterranean food and this spot was close. A solid choice for kabobs!I had their chicken and beef combo. It was delicious, perfectly cooked and tender all around. The salad was also pretty descent.I’d definitely come back again to try their other menu items.“
