“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.“

“Excellent Lebanese restaurant! The food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was attentive, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. Highly recommend for anyone craving genuine Lebanese cuisine!“

“I’ve been to Bacari a bunch of times, but brought a friend yesterday for her first visit and it was easily our best experience yet. Our server Sara was awesome—super attentive, a great listener, and just made the whole night special.
The food was totally on point. The crispy schnitzel and the shawarma tacos (perfect meat-to-slaw ratio) were highlights, and the Asian pear pizza 😋 was amazing. The only tiny thing was the pistachio sfoglia was a little bit overdressed with the sweet cream, but still good.
My friend loved her cocktails, and as a mocktail drinker, kudos to the bartender. The mocktail dirty martini (Salt n Solace) was PERFECT. The Botanica was good too, just a bit too sweet for me (next time I'll just ask to swap the tonic for club soda).
Bacari is always a great spot to hang out, but yesterday was exceptional. Thank you Sara for taking such good care of us!“

“What you don't know is the menu can be a bit redundant. Besides the sandwiches, everything is a variation of itself. I fount the Boureg to be some of the best I've ever had. This is definitely a lunch spot, the bites are pretty small. I like this casual, large glass windowed eatery.“

“todo está súper rico de verda selos recomindo yummy 😋“

“They have great quality products and they are very friendly“

“The Lule kabob is very juicy and tender! Full of flavor! Very friendly staff, ready to take your order. Catering services are excellent too. They are closed Sundays, but they may cater food for special events on Sundays is you ask!“

“Susan is delightful, and the food is FRESH & DELICIOUS....oh, that laffa bread!!!!!!!“

“I moved one block from this restaurant,from all the other places this is one of my top 3 in the area, it's very cozy & most importantly, the food is great & it's very clean, it's casual for quick eat or even for friends & families or dates, I recommend it highly, try the steak Shawarma or the beef & chicken combo plate, im a regular now , I come here at least once a week“

“This is such a wonderful find! I was looking for something healthy and filling, and this exactly hit the spot. Jake and Josue were so friendly and took time to walked through the menu with me. 5 out of 5, if you’re looking for a healthy flavorful meal and a friendly vibe this is your spot!“

“Our family of six came here for lunch after a funeral at Forest Lawn. We’re from out of town, so we were hoping the great reviews were true, and they were! We enjoyed the best Persian food we’ve had in years! In addition, the setting was pleasant and our server was attentive and efficient. Highly recommend!!!“

“Coffee was delicious! And another time wine was awesome! Michal was attending to us and he was polite and helpful!“

“DELICIOUS 😋HEALTHY FOOD AND VERY NICE AND FRIENDLYCUSTOMER SERVICE .“

“In love with this restaurant 🤤🤤🤤“

“Cute and clean restraunt with wide selection of food. A bit inconsistent with the menu which was a bit confusing. Flavors for the protein were good. Could use some hummus or Taziki with the full plate instead of paying 7 to 8 dollars for a side of it. Peacan caramel was unsuspectingly good. Not too sweet and just the right amount of bite. Came in around 6 and the sun was brutal through the window. Maybe some blinds would help with just the eat in. Service was nice and helpful.“

“If you haven't been to The Kebab House in Santa Clarita yet, you are missing out!
I got the chicken wrap, and it was massive—seriously loaded with vibrant, freshly grilled ingredients like pickled red cabbage, greens, and even crisp fries tucked right inside that perfectly charred wrap. Next level unique flavours I had ever experienced in a food wrap. Every bite was packed with unbelievable flavor, especially when paired with their delicious side dips and sauces.
As if the wrap wasn't enough, the truffle fries were top-tier—crispy, hot, and generously tossed with parmesan and fresh herbs. The portion sizes overall are super generous, so you definitely leave full and happy.
The atmosphere inside was welcoming and clean, and since it wasn't overly crowded when we visited, we were able to grab a table right away without any wait. Bathrooms were clean as well.
The staff were warm, friendly, and made sure our food came out steaming hot and fresh. And made it to my preference (as I requested no tomatoes in the wrap).

10/10 recommendation! I already can't wait to go back.“

“We just moved in the neighborhood and this place is easily my new favorite.

I got the chicken delight (summer delight with chicken) and I definitely want to try all their sandwiches.

The staff is genuinely warm and friendly too. Definitely want to come back as much as possible.“

“Very nice meals. Good luck!“

“Delicious dishes! Everything is recommended! But if you twist my arm, I'd say try the beef or chicken shawarma sandwich.“

“The food is amazing! I will definitely be going back. If you go for lunch order ahead, they make everything fresh.“

“I had my family at The Grill Stories Restaurant yesterday Feb. 28, 2026 There were 6 of us and the food was amazingly delicious we had two big family platers and extra sides , my daughter needs gluten free so she had the Mediterranean salad alone separately she said it was fantastic. The outside dining was very comfortable and cozy , it was a beautiful 85° weather . The round lady hostess and other people there were very friendly and welcoming . After we stuffed ourselves there was still plenty of food to pack and take home . Ultimately it was a great experience and with all the food it was approximately $35 per person including tax and tip, for most people it would be less because we ordered a lot of delicious food. We will return again Thank you to The Grill Stories“

“Jocelyn and Sal were awesome! Very accommodating and kind— a joy to interact with. I wish there was a bit more seating on hot days like this, but that’s not the restaurant’s fault, and to be fair, there’s A LOT of seating, anyway.“

“Highly recommend! Cosmo Palace has easily become our go to spot. Amazing food, great atmosphere, nothing short of an amazing time. Must try“

“This place is truly a hidden gem in our neighborhood! The owner is wonderful, and the food is absolutely delicious. Whenever I’m exhausted and don’t have the energy to cook, their family combo set is my go-to. It comes with a delicious variety of meats and fresh vegetables, making it perfect for our family of five. It takes so much stress out of dinner while giving us a satisfying meal that everyone loves. I’m so grateful to have such an amazing local spot that makes family dinners easy, convenient, and delicious. Highly recommend!“

“The food was AMAZINGG I can’t wait to go back and eat it again. They reached my protein and calories goals while being delicious. The atmosphere and service was amazing and Jennifer was welcoming and had a Bright smile. Would go again 😊“

“The best of the best Israeli/Mediterranean kosher food home made and you can taste the diffrence! I cant praise them enough. Try and you won't be disappointed! Amazing!!!“

“I had the pleasure of trying out this food truck today when I was at the Northridge Farmer Market. They were parked toward the back but I been craving some Kebabs so today was the perfect time to get some. I looked at their menu first and knew I was going to go with the Beef Shish Kebab plate. I didn't have to order at the truck, one of the lady working walked out of the truck to take my other. I asked if I could sub out the hummus and they allowed me to get extra shirazi salad which is my favorite. They said it would take about ten minutes to make.

The key to eating kebab is that you have to eat it when it comes out from the grill and hot. If you eat it after it gets cold then it won't taste great. My food took about the exact time they said it would and I took it home to eat since I live close. The food is on the pricer end compared to other things but I'll say it's worth it.

The thought the Shish Kebab was kind of overcooked or it could be that when it sat in the box while I was driving home, it cooked some more. Beside that I thought my plate was delicious. The pita bread was soft, the shirazi salad was amazing and they give you a decent amount of rice with kebab. They also give you a little mint as well after you finish your food. I would come back to this truck again and maybe try another dish when I have a chance.“

“Halal House simply is the best for the plates! Chicken over rice and Gyro! I even got two Gyro pita wraps today. Its affordable, quick bite to heat right near CSUN. I also saw that they have burgers! Really good size and taste. This is my go to spot for halal food near Northridge, honestly.😀I“

“Serra is amazing! and so is her food!“

“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!“

“The food here is really delicious! Everything tastes fresh and full of flavor, and you can tell they put care into how it’s made. The people who work here are super sweet and friendly, which makes the experience even better.
The only downside is that the prices feel a bit on the higher side for a kebob stand. Still, the quality and taste definitely make it worth trying. Overall, great food and great service!“

“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.“

“had a great time at this restaurant! The food was delicious and well-prepared, with flavors that really stood out. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. The ambiance was inviting and comfortable, perfect for a casual meal or a night out. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family!“

“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!“

“My favorite Lebanese place in the valley. Hands down!“

“Food is great and service was fine. Unfortunately, the location lacks any charm. It's dark, cavernous and lacking in any charm or warmth. I love the location on West Adams, but will not return to the Sherman Oaks location unless it's for takeout. They really need to find a new space“

“duh its Fresh and Yummy!“
