“Great food and friendly staff. Owners greet you and serve!“

“Absolutely loved my experience at CAVA! The staff was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. Everyone was so knowledgeable about the menu and took the time to answer all of my questions and make helpful recommendations. The food was fresh, flavorful, and delicious!

A special shoutout to Andres, who truly went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience. He was so patient, helpful, and genuinely took the time to make sure all my questions were answered.

Great food, amazing service, and such a welcoming atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! ❤“

“I love the food is my favorite restaurant“

“Hands down, one of my favorite restaurants in LA. My husband and I visit here 2-4 times a month. All the locations are beautiful and unique, but our favorite is Sherman Oaks. It's our home local restaurant, and the entire staff knows us and takes great care of us. It was just our 17th anniversary, and the staff made us feel so special. But then again, they always make us feel special, so we just love everything about this place. Our go-to must-haves are the chicken sliders, fries, and the little gem. And to end the meal, we order vanilla lattes, the best cake and ice cream. It's simply the best!“

“My wife and I had an amazing dining experience here. The service was top-notch, and our server was extremely friendly and helpful with menu recommendations. The prices are very affordable, and the portions are generous enough to leave plenty of leftovers for the next day.
I highly recommend the falafel salad—and both the chicken and beef were tender and juicy. This is definitely going to be one of our new local favorites!“

“Food is and always has been amazing! The chicken and lamb kebobs are my absolute favorites. There was a small mishap with my latest order, but the manager, Mike, called me personally and quickly addressed and resolved the issue. Great food and great customer service!“

“This place is the absolute best. The food is so yummy. Fresh pita & hummus is amazing. The service is so friendly. If you're thinking about this place definitely try it. You will not be disappointed. I do not live locally but will drive the 50 minutes anytime for their food. We look forward to eating here as much as possible.“

“The lamb gyros are the best things ever. 😊“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“We had a fantastic dinner here. I ordered the chicken combo plate and my wife had the beef combo plate Both were amazingly delicious - perfectly cooked, tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The service was friendly and full of good energy. Highly recommend next time you're in Sherman Oaks.“

“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“

“Had such a great time here with my cousins. We were visiting from Chicago, and it was the perfect LA experience. The food was delicious, the service was amazing, and the atmosphere made the whole visit even better. Everyone in our group loved it, and we left happy and completely satisfied.

Definitely a place I’d recommend to anyone looking for great food, great vibes, and an even better experience. We’ll definitely be back! 🙌“

“Extensive menu with lots of options for sides, toppings and sauces. But the meat itself isn't that great. Both the chicken and lamb/beef were dry and not flavorful on their own. That's too bad because otherwise it's a pleasant venue with fast service. I won't be going back“

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

“Service with love. The food is amazing. The owner is very kind.“

“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“

“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“

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

“Beyond excellent! Anything they cook is delicious high quality, flavor(real Persian taste), stuff very friendly, clean (tables,restrooms), definitely I’ll be back, back again, again and again, price(for what the do is very affordable)“

“Yes I highly recommend the food, the service, and atmosphere.“

“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!“

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

“Nice food, cooperative staff“

“Love this place! I order out and also dine at the Sherman Oaks location. My food is always fresh and delicious. The staff is always friendly and efficient. I especially love the flavored water with cucumber and lemon added for that extra touch whether I'm picking up food or sitting down to dine.“

“I picked up a large order of khinkali, cheese khinkali, potato vareniki and some salads. Everything was amazingly delicious. I was in Georgia last year and honestly the khinkali from Gev’s was just as good if not better than what I had there. Can’t recommend this place highly enough.“

“I love this spot the owner has great Persian food , the kinda flavor that is so different then the rest of the Persian res in the area, I swear the owner is this older nice men the place has home made food smells so good !He makes the best horash sabzi it’s the green herbs stow it comes with a side of rice and it’s really delicious!My friend loves kabobs so he orders that and says it’s very good !All the locals of the area eat here :)So in case you are in the Woodland Hills neighborhood I recommend grabbing lunch at this placeI enjoy every time I come here it reminds meof my moms food , so thank you for this“

“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!“

“Amazing! Friendly fast Service!
This place is sooo Good.
It was 1st time on a friday night.. and will defintely be back!!

The Maccrons were soooo delicious ✨✨✨✨“

“Had a wonderful experience at CAVA in Valencia! The food was fresh, flavorful, and delicious, but what really made our visit special was the outstanding service.

A huge shout-out to Necka and Pam for being so welcoming, helpful, and full of great energy. They gave us excellent suggestions on what to order, and their recommendations were spot-on! Their friendly attitude and genuine enthusiasm made the whole experience even better.

Great food + amazing service + great energy = a place we’ll definitely be coming back to. Thank you, Necka and Pam, for making our visit so enjoyable!“

“I forgot who recommended this place but I'm glad I came. Ordered the Beef Lula ate that during a movie. Was so satisfied with that when back after the movie & got the Chicken Lula & BBQ. Some of the most authentic and delicious Armenian food I've had in awhile. I will definitely be back with guests.“

“I enjoyed a healthy and delicious lunch meal here. The staff was very friendly and helpful with recommendations.“

“Best food in San Fernando Valley!“

“I ordered from here tonight on Door Dash, their grilled chicken platter. I called the store because you can’t add pita online, and the guy who picked up was so kind and confirmed it comes with pita and he’d throw extra in. I always appreciate when places go over the top for their customers! Will order again soon“

“This is one of my go-to lunch spots. Everything I've tried is absolutely delicious, and the service is amazing, they are truly kind people. Prices are very reasonable, especially for the portion size. I can't recommend Lusy's enough.“

“Food is really good, good prices, lot of food“

“Good food good value and a full bar ;)“

“Just fantastic. Everything was perfect: the staff, the food—just everything. Such an unassuming little place. We had the Chicken & Lulu Kebab and the Gyro Plate. Both meals were superb and really exceeded our expectations . On top of a wonderful meal, the staff really went out of their way to make us happy. We had a wonderful time and really look forward to coming back.“

“Thank you to Gyromania for all that you do for us! 🎉

We often place orders for over 40 items, and there’s never a problem. We truly appreciate your consistency, efficiency, and great service. Thank you for taking such good care of our school! Highly recommend! 😊❤️“

“The Shawarmins are awesome! Very friendly and cool owners. HEY Guys! It's ME!“

“Cicek’s Chicken has been one of my go-to Mediterranean spots for years, and it’s always consistent. I had the half chicken with hummus and salad — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and filling. The chicken is juicy with great seasoning, the hummus is smooth, and everything tastes fresh.

The price-to-value ratio is excellent, the place is always clean, and service is solid. If you’re looking for a great place to eat chicken, this spot delivers every time. Highly recommended.“

“My first time trying Mediterranean food and what can I say, the dishes were authentic and so delicious, especially the Fattoush Salad . Loved it so much. I will definitely recommend to my friends.“
