“Very surprised by the quality. Ordered the ground chicken kebab (koobideh) and the white meat chicken kebab. The flavor and quality was great. Getting chicken Koobideh to be flavorful is an uphill battle since it’s just ground chicken. This was beautifully seasoned, charred and juicy. Generous portions of beautifully cooked rice with salad and grilled vegetables and pita bread round it all out for a very competitive price in this inflation age. I wish there was an M Grill closer to where I live in Joshua Tree.“
“Great Halal Persian place located in Pasadena! Great location , fast service and best of all great food ! Ordered a variety of kabobs , lamb shank , hummus , rice. excellent taste nothing was dry and perfectly grilled. My favorite was the lamb shanks , followed by the kobbideh skewers. Can recommend enough !“
“Delicious food and friendly service. Ordered to go, but ended up staying and eating in the patio area which has heat lamps. This place is small and no indoor dining.Will definitely go back!Parking: Street parking only in a crowded neighborhood.“
“Visit was Birthday treat from daughter, who ordered for us inside while I waited at one of the couple of tables outside. We ate outside (had doggie with us), so can't speak for Service or Atmosphere. I can say that my meal (Lamb, rice, salad, babaganoush, pitta) was hot and delicious. Would absolutely go again and recommend.Parking: Small parking lot, and next door to cafe on one side and Laundromat on other so parking could be an issue. Side streets had plenty of spaces.“
“Food here was excellent! This was my first time trying Armenian food and gosh it was super good ! Service was good and the time to wait for food was pretty quick as well! The food itself is absolutely delicious. The place itself is a little small but regardless very clean and subtle. Highly recommend this place !“
“The service is off the charts. The gentleman at the counter must be getting paid in gold because he went above and beyond! I came in with my mom to grab a quick bite before heading home and this place did not disappoint. Although a bit hesitant as there weren't many people inside, the food was absolutely delicious. The chicken kabobs and beef koobideh plates were just fire. It's a bit off route for us, but you bet we'll be back! So good.“
“Pardis is a great Glendale option for Persian Food. The ambiance is inviting, the interior is modern clean, and the tables are spacious. The food and service are good, and the menu choices are plenty. The tadig and ghorme sabzi are a must. When you are craving Persian Food, Pardis is a good choice!“
“Hello everybody, I would like to let you guys know about green grill Mediterranean food was outstanding it's a must try if you're in Los Angeles the girls said salmon is very delicious as well as the cucumber salad. They have zucchini skewers so if you're looking for something healthy and this is the place to be, I would recommend it for everybody to try it.“
“The experience exceeded my expectations. I came in just a few minutes before closing, and the chef came out from behind and kindly took my order for chicken kebab. He offered two versions boneless or with bone I chose with bone and after I already placed my order I decided to add on a chicken Koobideh. He said that would be 20 minutes, so I relaxed and enjoyed the smell of my made to order dinner being cooked. When I saw it prepared, I opened it up with the chef and he gave me a big smile with pride. I told my wife I'm bringing home dinner. I didn't even take a bite until I got back home 60 miles away and we enjoyed every every every everything about it. I recommend Café Aly.“
“This spot is probably one of the best Mediterranean food restaurants I’ve been to.I ordered the salmon with extra salad, no pita, no bread and two skewers of chicken koobideh. The salmon was very tender and flavorful. The ground chicken kabobs were also very delicious and the salad with their house salad dressing was very tangy and matched well with the meats. Great customer service, two TV’s and a great spot overall.I’d definitely come back again to try their other menu items.“
“The food is great, reasonable prices as well. The service was good, the atmosphere could be better. Unfortunately at the time they were out of many of the food options.Parking: Paid parking but hard to find.Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly area.“
“The best and most authentic Mediterranean food I've ever tasted. The hummus was better than any other I have tried. The stew with crispy rice was so flavorful and unique, and all of the starting dishes came out within 5 minutes of ordering. The wait staff really helped each other out and it was very romantic to have the indoor patio. I would bring family here, friends, and anybody else that lives in the area should definitely try this place. Amazing food.“
“Order the beef flap and chicken thigh. This place knows how to cook it to perfection. Also thier rice is absolutely delicious. Imean, you might say it's just rice, but this place elevates it to superstar status. It's so buttery and fluffy. Perfection! Served with a simple grilled tomato and peppers and a slice of lavash bread to round it all off. The staff is friendly and the food is hot and ready pretty quickly. Plenty of easy parking in thier lot. Easy in and out.“
“This is a delicious option, in a cozy place, no crowd and great service by the owner.Food is so tasty, beef is really good (both: ground and tender beef), you have to try the cucumber yogurt and hummus.This place is an amazing choice in a town full of traditional restaurants with this type of food.Highly recommended!“
“ust dined at Shekarchi in downtown LA, and it’s safe to say it’s the best Persian restaurant in Southern California. The cuisine is of unmatched quality and deliciousness, blending authentic Persian flavors seamlessly. The Koobideh and Shishlik come highly recommended for those looking to indulge in the true essence of Persian culinary excellence. The atmosphere of Shekarchi sets it apart, offering a romantic vibe with an American twist, making it the perfect introduction for non-Persians keen on experiencing Middle Eastern food for the first time in an inviting, familiar environment. Shekarchi is undeniably a must-visit for a memorable culinary journey.“
“Flavor and pricing are excellent. Customer service excellent, friendly attentive. Not 'fast food' cooked fresh to order. The outdoor garden in downtown is a rare treat. Wonderful family owned small business. Great for small family parties / groups.“
“Amazing sandwiches, very tiny store but they make the best sandwiches and sides, at this time we ordered onion rings and it was super yummy, crispy and melt in your mouth, if I could , the owner is super friendly, welcoming and helpful, and their food is like homemade, exactly the taste of motherland, definitely gonna go back and recommend to everyone!“
“Overall food was delicious. But asian server I got probably was kinda inexperienced, she just hung a plate for me to self-serve whilst my hands were busy and she was standing and waiting for me to grab it. I literally needed to say “Can you put it for me?” Also a lot of men talking loudly and always strolling around is not creating the best atmosphere to stay…“
“We have been ordering food from Kabab and More for over 27 years. Not only personal dishes, but we order her catering services too. The owner, Rubina, is the absolute sweetest person we've ever dealt with in the food industry. Her food is always absolutely delicious, so fresh, spiced very well, not salty and always served with a friendly face and big smile. We have tried every dish and they're just all equal in the best Mediterranean cuisine flavor and the prices are very comparable to other Mediterranean restaurants. This restaurant is an absolute MUST-TRY!!!“
“I stumbled upon Shayan Express Restaurant, and what a delightful surprise it turned out to be! The service was impeccable, with the staff going above and beyond to make us feel special. Now, let's talk about the food – an explosion of flavors that awakened my taste buds. The lamb kebabs were tender and flavorful, and the aromatic rice dishes were heavenly. The ambiance was charming, with Persian carpets and traditional decor creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. I left with a happy heart and a full belly, and I'll be returning soon!“

“Lets see, where do I begin the SUPERLATIVE Impressions I got from this Sweet, Wholesome, Amazingly Mouthwatering Little Restaurant named "Mediterranean Grill". Now dont be fooled by its simple name. They have a lot of Soul and Heart: Charming, Quaint Location with plenty of Parking. Scrumptiously DELICIOUS, flavorful food; FRESH, Quality Ingredients. The Cleanliness of the whole Place is comforting, with a great flow of Feng Shui lol including the spotless Restroom. Coz you know Girls gotta go several times haha and Finally, the Piece the Resistance lol Management and Service. EDDIE the Manager slash Owner (Im assuming lol) is Such a Great and Pure Hearted Man of God. A Great Leader. With the most Positive, Welcoming, engaging, Kind Attitude to All the customers. I saw him delegating Tasks to his Employees and hes very well Respected. His ELEGANCE in professionalism and the attention to Detail is Exceptional. When I told Him how I wanted my Food in a certain way, he made it to grand PERFECTION. He even made sure to ask me "Did we get it Right, Miss? Do You like it?" To which I answered I LOVE IT. And I Love him, and I love this Place. And lemme tell You, as this is a very BOLD CLAIM to make, but Hey Im a Bold Woman. And I can say it with great CONFIDENCE, this is the best Mediterranean Place in all of Pasadena, perhaps even Los Angeles. Better than Raffi's in Glendale lol Yea I said it. Better than Zankous Chicken, and def Better than Cafe X20 . And trust me all these other places aforementioned are all Good! But "Mediterranean Grill" trumps All of them. You know the Saying "YOU COME for the FOOD, but you Come Back for the SERVICE" well it doesnt get any True-er and better than this wonderful, full of food Dopamine, Satisfying Food, and positive Aura place. Why? Coz Im DEF coming back. And if I cant make it, Im def ordering for Delivery.“
