Love their beef and chicken combo, saffron rice, and green sauce! It’s a bonus that it comes with a choice of hummus. Other places you have to order hummus as an extra side. Haven’t come across another place that offers this amazing green sauce they make. I usually have to order an extra side of the both saffron rice and green sauce because it is soooo delicious! Can’t get enough of it! The owner and staff is always great. Been coming here for the last 7-years even though we’re closer to Glendale, we would rather make the drive to this side of Pasadena just for their food!

Exceptional restaurant with great food and service! Some of the best falafel and baklava I’ve had. Also wonderful tabbouleh, tahini, hummus, and dolma.

I tried this place for the first time after seeing that they had decent reviews, but I'm sad to say that I probably won't be returning.First, it took over 20 minutes for the food to come out, even though there were no other customers at the store. So, if you're looking for a quick pickup place, either place your order in advance or choose somewhere else.Second, the service was mediocre. When I asked what was popular, the person helping me was not helpful and just explained what louleh was, even though I already told him I knew LOL additionally, after the food was ready, the worker disappeared from my sight without giving me a chance to ask for any sauces.Last but certainly not least, the food was very mediocre. The beef louleh was somewhat flavorful but very dry, the hummus was tangy, the rice was flavorless and unevenly cooked, and the serving size of the side salad was quite small. Sigh I wanted to like this place because it's close to my workplace, but unfortunately, it did not meet any of my standards, and I don't think I'll be going back.

My husband and I ordered takeout tonight, and it was truly delicious. I went for the lamb Shish kebab, with half rice and half salad, with a broiled tomato. It was luscious! My husband chose the chicken kebab, thigh meat. It was delicious, too. Very tender. Only drawback was that they forgot to give him the hummus that could be substituted for the broiled tomato. So we have to return to taste the hummus! And I have my eyes on the salmon kebab....

It was pretty good! Much better than the food at Zephyr's down the street. Chicken was spiced just right, and very juicy. ?They didn't skimp on the pita and hummus either. That's always a plus.I asked for a recommendation being my first time here, and was not disappointed. Definitely going to come back!Parking: Park on Colorado for 1hr, but you never know when they'll enforce that limit. Vinedo Ave doesn't have any signs, so I don't know how long you can park (limitless, until 2am? Or also just 1hr?) Check local ordinance PMC 10.40.120

This may be the best falafel I have ever experienced. My baby had the beef louleh kabobs and she raves... the hummus and Flatbread, both made in house, are worth writing home about.We WILL be back.

The food was amazing. There were only 2 workers and they made it quick. I don’t eat a lot so i shared a platter with my brother. Our side was a salad. The worker knew we were sharing and gave us an extra plate and ANOTHER salad plus ANOTHER SIDE, hummus. The food was amazing and the hospitality was better. I definitely recommend this place.
