“Damasquino’s never disappoints. I have been to quite a few Mediterranean restaurants and I cannot compare to Damasquino’s. Lately I have been treating myself to a meal every week or every other week. I am obsessed with the chicken shawarma, falafel, their sauce, and the flavor of the food is amazing. I also want to say the service is always good and the people taking orders are always very polite.“

“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!“

“very very good.. the animal style fries or crazy style.. I forgot lol.. are the best ever.. you have to try them.. I recommend 👌“

“I love how tasty their food is. I had the Lafta wrap and a Kafta plate. The way I devoured it all was insane. The flavors were great, the food was fresh, and the restaurant is kept very clean and tidy. The bread in unreal and tastes so good from their oven. I absolutely loved this place and I loo forward to coming back!

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp right by the entrance!“

“Great food , and fair prices. The best Mediterranean food I had in the inland empire. it’s located in the new part of Claremont Village.“

“Lovely healthy food, great hookah options, and wonderful service. I love the atmosphere it’s like a mini vacation.“

“You should eat here.

Buy 16 ounces of tzatziki and eat it all in one sitting with fries. You won't regret eating 16 ounces of tzatziki in one sitting with fries.

I may or may not have done this and it was great. I will not confirm. But this is a great place to stop by.

Parking: Parking is in the rear but also on the street.“

“The Red Café is an absolute gem in Glendora! Lena, the owner, is incredibly welcoming and genuinely cares about her customers’ satisfaction. She goes above and beyond to make sure everyone leaves happy. The food here is fantastic, with a great variety of options, all made from organic ingredients. And let me tell you, the coffee is simply amazing! Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a leisurely meal, the outdoor seating provides a lovely atmosphere to enjoy your time. Highly recommend stopping by The Red Café!“

“This restaurant is absolutely phenomenal. The atmosphere is warm and friendly which is evident from all interactions with every staff member. The food and service are excellent in every sense of the word. The bread and baklava were made fresh! The Turkish Delights were phenomenal. The owner and staff went to great lengths to make us feel comfortable and welcome, explaining the menu items in detail. We are so excited to have come across this gem!!! It is the type of culinary and cultural experience that my husband and I treasure. We will be coming again soon, both with and without friends! We can’t wait to try some of the items on the patio grill. :)“

“Garden Salad and request to add the grilled salmon.“

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

“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!“

“great place, love the fresh vegetables“

“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!“

“I've been searching for really good stuffed grape leaves since a former co-worker brought some of her home made dolma at work about 8 years ago... I've had some hits (mostly misses), but none compared to the one she made... now this... the search is over. Happy palate!😊 It's my first time here. What can I say? As soon as I entered the place, I can smell good things baking and cooking. The owner showed me trays of fresh baked pastries/pies (spinach, meat & cheese) as he took them out straight from the oven. Everything looked delicious. The service was great. I ordered to go and the owner gave me a sample of the Cheese Burak (Cheese Pie) to eat on the go. I started driving off and as soon as I took my first bite I regretted immediately why I did not order that.Everything we ordered were so flavorful and delicious. They also have the best Hummus. So I will definitely go back to this place. 😊“

“Pretty good experience! The lamb chops were super flavorful and grilled to perfection. The food took a bit longer as I’ve come to expect at Mediterranean spots.

The lamb chops had two sizes and I ordered the larger one and apparently the cashier entered the order incorrectly for the regular size. He let me know after they started cooking and I said I was fine with the regular size combo and didn’t want to go through the hassle of refunding and paying again. It was no biggie. I could probably do better by eating less from time to time.

After the food came out, it seemed like they gave me the large size after all. It wasn’t necessary, but it was a nice gesture. The beets salad, baba ghanoush were great additions to the lamb chops. The rice and pita were a bit lacking and left much to be desired, but the garlic sauce helped. The pita was much thicker than other places and was a bit dry. The rice didn’t have any flavor compared to other Mediterranean spots. I had to mix all the garlic sauce into the rice to give it an upgrade. The beef shawarma was very flavorful and well cooked.

We’ll be back to this place to give it another go.“

“Food was great. Servers were knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely would eat there again.“

“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.“

“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! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“I used to frequent the Claremont location, was pretty excited not to drive all the way To Claremont. First disappointment, this place doesn’t just sell the only meat, either a pita sandwich or a plate, which I need since I made my own sides. Second disappointment after order something I wanted since you don’t sell just the meat, my order was so over cooked and dry, the cooked seems to and extra sauce to make moist again- pretty disappointed. The service was great, just the quality of food was horrible.“

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

“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 there yesterday. Chicken, rice, chipotle hummus, garlic sauce. It was soooooo good!“

“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 have been here 4 times already since grand opening on Aug 10th! It's a nice, simple place with great breakfast and lunch foods. Open Monday thru Saturday. Closed Sundays! I like the falafel sandwich, baklava, French croissant, and chicken hummus plate! Coffee they make is good! Stop by and try!!!“

“I love Shawarma and if you're in the Indian Empire, there's really no place better than Zaky. It take great care of their customers, and I always feel welcomed even though I place my order online.

I've been to four different locations and every single time. The people always just seem to be really kind and welcoming. I really love coming here and I'm grateful this place is around.“

“First time there got there before it closed.I ordered a plate with 2 proteins that were really delicious, chicken and steak. The fire feta and hummus were very good. The price was a little crazy but I really enjoyed the meal. The customer service was awesome.“

“I have mixed emotions about this place. First, the food is excellent! Buuuuuut, if the older woman who works there can't handle the pressures of the lunch time rush hour, she really should not be working at that time of day. OR, someone needs to step in and help her. It's very obvious that she does not handle stress well. She gets very snappy with the customers, even the nice ones!“

“good healthy food and clean environment“

“Good food, good prices the service not to good but food is good“

“well good food great service“

“This place is like Subway, but with pizza instead of sandwiches (and much fresher ingredients). They have a menu of pizzas, but you can customize all of your toppings as you watch a staff member put it together for you every step of the way - from saucing to firing it up in the pizza oven so it comes out fast and hot. The crust is consistently perfect (thin and crispy), there are a ton of fresh, quality ingredient options, and the flavors are amazing. This is a place I have frequented for years and I can honestly say that I have never had a pizza I didn't like. I've tried a handful of them, but my go-to is the green pie (pesto basil sauce, mozzarella, feta, zucchini, eggplant, artichoke hearts & fresh tomatoes). My husband does not like vegetables too much, but even he has learned to let them make it as-is, without customizing it, because it is SO GOOD! The chicken wings are juicy, meaty, and delicious. The salads and Mediterranean plates are great as well (chicken/beef kabob, falafel or chicken shawarma served with rice, salad, hummus, pita bread, and garlic sauce). There is even a dessert counter where you can usually find an assortment of treats like macarons, Dubai chocolate bars, and Baklava. They also serve beer (bottled and on tap).

Aside from the great food, the place has a great ambience with a large & spacious indoor dining area as well as a large shaded patio area in the front (facing bustling Citrus Ave), big screen TVs, and even a little game machine for the kids. They do a great job of keeping it all nice and clean. A small touch I really appreciate is that they conveniently keep extra plates, silverware, condiments, and to-go boxes out in the front so you can use as much as you need without having to ask for them.

On top of all that, it's in a prime location in downtown Covina so there is plenty to do if you have some time to walk around. Great for families and casual date nights.

This place hits every.single.time.“

“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.“

“Excellent food and nice staff“

“If you’re in Claremont, CA, and craving authentic Lebanese flavors, Al Amir Bakery is a must-visit. This family-owned gem specializes in manakeesh—Lebanese flatbreads baked to perfection. The za’atar and cheese manakeesh is a standout, featuring a harmonious blend of thyme, sumac, sesame seeds, and creamy white cheese atop a chewy, blistered crust. The hummus is smooth and creamy, while the foul (fava bean stew) is zesty with lemon and garlic, served with freshly baked pita. With its warm hospitality and affordable prices, Al Amir Bakery offers a delightful taste of Lebanon right in Claremont“

“Great food friendly staff will be returning soon“
