“Shout out to Baran Mediterranean restaurant. We had a superbowl/ 50th birthday party yesterday and everything was literally perfect. Food/staff/ decorations/ cake, everything was perfect. There's nothing I would change or do differently. We had a party of 80 and everyone has been texting today saying how good the food was. Go try them out, you won't regret it. Owners are pretty amazing too, super friendly and down to earth. Thank you Baran!!!!❤️“

“I recently decided to visit The Diplomat in La Verne after being recognized by the Bonita Unified School District for my service to the schools and community. What a great choice! The food was absolutely delicious. My husband and I shared the combo plate with filet, chicken, and ground beef—it was more than enough for the both of us. The filet was juicy and sooo good! Excellent service and a fantastic experience overall. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Wonderful place and great food.“

“This is a food truck with several tables available if you want to eat there or you can take the food to go. The food is fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful. I LOVE this place.“

“The Best of Mediterranean“

“Good food and good service“

“Good mediterranean food can be hard to find, so, when visiting California, I’d definitely recommend stopping by this place. Located in an industrial strip mall this small but quaint restaurant is tucked away amongst other businesses, and with no signage above the doors it can easily be missed.

I ordered the salmon kebab with grilled vegetables instead of rice. Chucks of salmon squares served on skewers and separated by grilled vegetables was a visual masterpiece. The salmon was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing as did the grilled vegetables. The dish was served along side hummus, a side salad and pita bread.

I did find the pita bread a little more crisper and flaker than I’m accustomed to and it did lack a bit of flavor. With that said, I throughly enjoyed my meal.

Kudos, to the entire staff. Specifically, Lucy, her enthusiasm, personality and professional demeanor was great. She truly understands the criticality of providing exceptional customer service.“

“Just ate at Habibi Grill in La Mirada. the Chicken Shawerma w/hummus & taboula was Great. Fantastic flavors and garlic sauce. Definitely recommend 👌“

“The food was INCREDIBLE! Very large portions and fresh, healthy choices for all ages. We will definitely come here regularly after our first visit!“

“Food is consistently good, service is great, had the chicken kebab and Barramundi plate, both were excellent. Will be back!“

“Food was amazing. Tried Falafel remix bowl - loved the green and red sauces. Also side of falafel was amazing. Ambience is good. Would visit again to try other items on their menu.

Vegetarian options: Vegan selections are plenty, amazing food.“

“This place is absolutely delicious. I randomly popped in while passing through the city and I'm so glad I did. Next Time I'm passing through, I know where to eat. I wish I took a photo to share, but I didnt expect to want to leave a review, but the meal was just so finger-lickin' good! I'll have to plan a 2nd review so I can take some photos before eating next time, lol. Stop in, try them, very worth it!“

“Great food and great service!!“

“We ordered the spicy hummus, garlic fries, beef shawarma, babakenush?, and cauliflower. My friend saw the baclava and had to try it. So we started with desser. The pistachio was very crispy and chewy and was my friends favorite. The walnut was sweet and chewy which was my favorite. Everything was absolutely delicious! The spicy hummus had a little kick at the beginning but as we ate we didn't taste the kick anymore. The cauliflower is lightly fried and so freaking delicious! I ate it by itself or with some hummus. My friend ate it with the babakanush and some cauliflower sauce and was in love. I tried her babakanush. I don't like eggplant but this was really delicious! Had a lovely garlic flavor that was slightly addicting. The garlic fries was just fries sprinkled with garlic powder but dipped it in the hummus and it was good. The pitas were really good too. I could've eaten more if I wasn't so full. But the beef shawarma was freaking AMAZING!!!!! We both said this was the best Mediterranean food we've ever had. I said no tomatoes to my beef shawarma which I'm glad I did. The flavor was absolutely amazing without it. Definitely 10/10 no complaints at all. And service was awesome too! So kind, friendly, and funny. I can't wait to come back again!“

“It was really goooooooood☺️“

“We love love your restaurant!! You have the best grilled chicken ever!! We dine here about twice a month. We love Paris she is a fantastic server. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience every time. ❤️“

“Delicious food! We loved it !“

“Food was so good we ate here on our 7 day vacation in California, we drove to San Diego and drove back just to get more. 10/10 will return back when I come California again inshallah. The grill tomato with onion is so good and the meat cooked very good. Great service too, very kind staff.

Only downside is the outdated seats and tables

May Allah bless this business , Ameen ??

Dietary restrictions: Mediterranean Food is best for people with health problems , they serve low sodium food with everything cooked with olive oil instead of vegetable oil, very healthy!“

“Delicious!! Vegan and veggie​ options too! Hummus and falafal yummy“

“Great place and healthy food . Portion is big too“

“I had the pleasure of interacting with the owner of this restaurant who was so helpful in navigating the simple menu. The food was amazing. And he treated my friend and I to complimentary watermelon frescas. Next time I am in the area I will be having lunch here again!“

“Awesome bakery & daily ,
I ordered some bakery last month and bought few items from the shop ,
The food that I ordered was amazingly delicious reminding me of exactly the food back home in (Homs) Syria ,
I called the 2nd day to order something from the daily to be send by mail , the owner told me that he will be coming to my area in the next few weeks which is like an hour away , sure enough he brought every thing I need ,
This bakery & daily is highly recommended and worth the drive from anywhere in Los Angeles, thank you Ayman“

“This is the best Mediterranean food around. We love the chicken kabob plate. It’s a must have.“

“A very decent persian restaurant in West Covina. Being Persian myself, I had to give their food a shot. After all, this is the food I grew up eating. And I have to say, they are very satisfactory. They won’t win any awards, but they are good! The meat could have been seasoned better, and salad shirazi was missing some spice as well. But the doogh was absolutely brilliant! The interior is also very nice. The staff are mostly in the back, though. Overall, we had a very nice and satisfactory experience.“

“Hands down one of the best kebabs I’ve ever had! The meat was juicy, full of flavor, and cooked perfectly. Their sauces and sides hit the spot too. Super friendly service and clean setup I’ll definitely be coming back. If you haven’t tried Pennie’s Kebab yet, you’re missing out!“

“Went yesterday with my Daughters and can I say the food was so amazing. It was everything I hoped it to be. We came all the way from L. A and it was worth the drive. We will definitely be back! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“good and healthy food and very delicious too.“

“Great environment, classy entertainment and the food is very delicious with reasonable prices. And, when it comes to their service it’s outstanding“

“I love this place....all their dishes are delicious....if you haven't tried it....please do....there's never a day that the lines are out the door....speaks volumes!!!! The owner is a wonderful man....George is his name. So next time you see him call him by his name and you'll see for yourself.... :-)“

“First time I have ordered from Kimia and it's a small takeout restaurant located within the Fresh Choice Super Market. Very good persian dishes as well as cooked to order Kabab at very reasonable prices. wait time to cook is very reasonable and food quality / quantity is excellent especially considering the prices. appropriate measures in place for covid 19. its best for take out although they have few tables outside if one would like to eat there“

“They are absolutely delicious and so warm and welcoming. The garlic sauce is great on everything if you love garlic as much as I do. The shawarmas are perfection! The owner is so friendly and sweet. I have enjoyed everything I have ordered here!“

“I decided to try this place on a whim during my previous semester of school between classes. I got the chicken kebab bowl, added hummus, and a side of their bread. Huge portions! Did not skimp on the hummus and was well worth the add on price. Food is DELICIOUS! Atmosphere is quieter and relaxing. I enjoy the music they have playing in the background. Over time I began to engage more with the staff and they're all so nice, friendly, and even funny. I love this place. They genuinely care about their customers and the quality of the food they make. Its become a place to relax at between my classes to enjoy good food. I tell everyone I can about it and will continue to eat here.“

“I always order food to go from here so I can’t comment on the service or atmosphere, but the food is always good. Favorite is the koobideh, but I’ve also had the chicken kabob, rigatoni Rosa, chicken pesto linguine, chicken pesto panini, and the flat iron shish kabob. Everything is good. The chicken is a little dry, but [I believe] it is white meat, so that is to be expected. The koobideh occasionally comes out with one half of the skewer a little more cooked than the other half. No matter, it’s always delicious as is all the food I’ve tried here so I highly recommend it.“

“Food is great but guy at the register named Mario was very rude. After ordering my food I glanced at my receipt and it something totally different. So I went and asked. He said that’s what you ordered. I told him no. I know exactly what I ordered and this ain’t it. His reply was I’ll change it this time. So I told him, feel free to look at your cameras. I know exactly what I asked for. He then went off to say some snarky remarks to the staff working behind the counter.“

“good healthy food and clean environment“

“很棒的希腊风味，和以前去希腊吃的美食一样“

“Delicious Lebanese cuisine. Healthy options and a lovely atmosphere.“

“My mom and I visited this restaurant for the first time, and it was a wonderful experience! Catherine and Christina were the ones who helped us, and they were both incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed. The food was good, especially the garlic ranch pita chips – they were a standout! We’ll definitely be back to try more from the menu. Highly recommend this place for great service and tasty food!“

“Excellent food and nice staff“

“My favorite brunch spot. I regularly drive here from Pico Rivera just to have their coffee lol. BEST cafe de olla I’ve had from a restaurant. Super friendly and attentive staff and amazing food. My favorite dish is their chilaquiles and adding chorizo, eggs and avocado. Sooo good. Parking is sometimes hard to find only bc this spot is so popular on weekends but there is street parking as well.“

“Me and my mom went here after seeing it after we walked by, it always caught our attention. And we're very glad we finally went there! The food tasted as good as it looked. They do a great job with service! About 3 minutes after we ordered we immediately got delicious garlic bread. I will admit that the outside dining isn't exactly the cleanest, but aside from that it was the best pizza I'd ever had!“

“I have been here twice now. Both times, I have had the lamb/beed gyro with no tomatoes or fries inside (pronounced yee-row informally) twice and their house salad. On my first visit, I got a fountain drink, which was not cold (I don't like ice in my drinks). They did, however, sell bottles of Loux that were very cold. I favor the orange juice flavored one. I did knock off a star because after my first visit, I got automatically signed up for marketing emails for the business when I paid with a card.

Parking: A lot of space for parking here“

“My stepson loves the pizza and service,he rates a 4 star on the atmosphere because it's small and limited seating. I explained it a small business but overall, the pizza was delicious and the man that served us seems kind and sweet! If we're in the area again we will return.“

“absolutely delicious and great customer service! Highly recommend them for light and delicious quality meal!“

“Great place to gather, good parking and friendly staffs !!“

“Still can taste the garlic! Glad we shared- Gyro salad was good, should have ordered meat on it veggies were only ok Nick’s fries were yummy Chicken was cooked just right They walked around with a sampler of their yogurt and baklava dessert- little sour but interesting. Mom loves baklava- she enjoyed their very big piece! Not cheap, fresh, fast, friendly“
