“Dylan was the best worker that I’ve ever seen in my entire history of going to Luna Grill. He offered to throw away my trash for me and help me clean up some spilled napkins and a spilled drink that I dropped on the floor. He’s so kind and so welcoming and made the whole lunar girl experience just so much better.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We go for the trout and beef koobideh! Fantastic food and warm, friendly service.“

“Loved it! Excellent luleh kebab! Will definitely go back again!“

“Just good quality food . fresh & tasty“

“If you order on Uber Eats, the price is exceptional for the quality and quantity of food you get. All the beef choices are top notch as well as the rice and fresh baked fluffy pita bread. The only not as good items are the chicken being a bit bland and the hummus (but that is a problem for most places in LA). Overall great restaurant with tasty food.“

“Byblos Mediterranean bakery has the good food , amazing and excellent service, and all the staff at Byblos are very nice, helpful and friendly too. Wishing them all the best And the prefect place to sit and enjoy the meals I rate Byblos Mediterranean baker 5“

“Pita nachos are awesome! Many different flavors of Hummus!“

“The Harvest Dinner was a wonderful experience. Lemon Poppy is a durable, local favorite, a fun & friendly place to get predictably good food. Having the opportunity to attend a more intimate, curated & personal dining experience was such a treat! The relaxed pace, the unique multi-course meal, & the delightful food surprised that just kept coming ... delightful! Everything was so good! And so much food - we left with multiple leftover containers, that I was able to enjoy for several meals afterward. Definitely a highlight ❤️“

“the food at this place is exquisite, fresh tasty and hot, the presentation of the plate is faboluse, serve on their luxury dinnerware and silverware, the food being served at this place is so much advance in so many aspects compare to high end restaurants on mediterranean cuisine. unfortunately the service is not welcoming and friendly to the exeptiong of a nice gentleman that assited us the other day. but I will not stop comming because the food is incredible. thank you.“

“Never had batter beef Showerma in usa thumbs up for ABU KABAB I highly recommend it you must try“

“Absolutely amazing food we had a variety of beef swarma, chicken and beef kabobs with rice, Taziki salad and the TLK plate. All of the meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned amazingly and everything tasted so fresh . Hats off to the chef for amazing dishes that were plated beautifully and served quickly.
Sandra our waitress was so nice and such a delight, so sweet to our 8 and 9 year old sons.she is such a hard worker literally running to make sure everyone’s needs were met. One of the most kindest waitresses we have ever had! We are from Glendora and will definitely be back!! Thank you!!“

“Great Lebanese taco joint. Vegetarian options. Generous portions. Very satisfying.“

“Delicious and amazing service!“

“nice place to dine with family, owner is extremely nice and the food is excellent taste and quality highly recommend“

“Kabob Village never disappoints! The kabobs were incredibly juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. Every dish was fresh, well-seasoned, and absolutely delicious. The staff was extra friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. Excellent food, outstanding service, and a great overall experience. I highly recommend Kabob Village in Glendale and will definitely be coming back!“

“The food was great!! and good company.“

“🎉Amarion 📍that Harrisa BBQ pita chip wCrazyfeta&garlic dressing omg woe is me • I was riding the train 🚉 fell asleep ℹ️sleeper car🧳 my feta/garlic dressing spilled all over my pajamas 👖 👀 I almost cried 🥹 SMH all the delicious dipping sauce 🫠 that was almost the most delicious chip snack/dip combo I’ve ever had.“

“Absolutely amazing! We loved Sahara so much that we came back twice during our 6-day trip to LA.

The food is incredibly fresh, delicious and truly homemade. The grilled meats were amazing, especially the kebab, honestly one of the best BBQ meals I’ve had.

The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. They recommended the mixed platter instead of ordering too much food, and it was the perfect choice. They even gave us baklava as a little gift when we left. ❤ Special thanks to Cindy, who was absolutely wonderful and made us feel at home.

And excuse the not-so-pretty photos 😂 the food was so good that both times I completely forgot to take pictures and only remembered when we had already eaten almost everything!

Definitely one of our favorite places in LA. Highly recommend!“

“Loved the energy here the music was great and the food was amazing 🤩“

“good and healthy food and very delicious too.“

“I ordered takeout and was happily surprised! I got the chicken shawarma wrap and it was delicious! It did take about 25 minutes for my order, so plan ahead and order online through their website. The ladies working were very kind and attentive. Will be back to try more of their dishes!“

“The food here is excellent, one of the best Mediterranean restaurants in LA county, but they are closed for events half the time. Which would be fine if they answered the phone, but they have never answered the phone even when they are open. So it's a guessing game.“

“Excellent food (and service) at good prices. Dinner plates are hearty with plenty of food to split in half. Thank you!“

“only downside is the parking, you have to engage on a busy Pasadena Street possibly even walk some steps over there but it is more than worth it! Fresh and delicious scrumptious food, where the owners really really really take pride in and care about what they are providing to others. check out their menu, dont miss this gem.“

“Highly recommend! Very deliscious dishes; really professional and friendly customer service; well done; thank you and good luck, guys!“

“Great place, delicious food 😋. Worth the drive 👍“

“This is not only one of my family’s restaurants in our neighborhood, it’s one of our favorite spots in LA. Reliably excellent, reasonably priced, truly unique, and staff is always helpful and attentive. The green garlic sauce is so good I’d eat a whole bowl of it like ice cream if it were my last day on earth.“

“Came in for a quick wrap to go and blown away by the outstanding customer service. The employee who was the most helpful was Daphne. She walked my son and I through the items we were interested in. Our overall purchase was based on her description and we were not let down. Ended up with a chicken Luleh wrap with hummus and the chicken combo. Both were great choices!! We will definitely be back!!“

“★★★★★

World Famous Grill is a fantastic spot for a delicious and satisfying meal! The food was flavorful, fresh, and cooked just right, with generous portions that left me completely satisfied. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Everything made for a great dining experience. Definitely worth visiting—I’d happily come back again!“

“Been getting food from here for a while now and always is on point. Kind of a bummer they don't have filet mignon meat option like their other location, but not a disappointment as the the steak is tender and flavorful as well. You can substitute the salad for potatoes. Not sure if they have an option where it is not spicy, but that is how I get it. Also, their green sauce is a must to add to your rice and protein you get. They are not open on weekends so you'd need to make time during the week and on the early side as that is the only time they are open. Parking is at the Commerce Commons. It's kind of like a food court at your local Shopping Mall. The staff here are always welcoming and nice.“

“I've been coming to the spot for probably over 10 years and the experience overall has been solid. The owners are always really polite, the food is put together ridiculously fast, and the flavors are pretty familiar and flavorful as you would expect from Mediterranean food. I will say, that perhaps there's a little bit of shrinkflation because most restaurants, the portions just seem a little smaller. I think for this cafe, everything is pretty much the same with high quality hummus, tasty rice, fresh salad, but I think the meat portions are a little smaller than I remember a year ago. Also, this round, my lamb skewers were a bit overcooked and on the dry side. But, perhaps this is just an anomaly for this visit. I'm going to try again probably this month!“

“The best food in Cali 👌👍 👌“

“food is very nice. so good“

“Truly the best Mediterranean in the area. Buttery fluffy pita and homemade hummus that is so creamy. The falafels are so moist and never dry. Agua Fresca is also so insanely good. Will go out of my way to come here. Highly highly reccomend!!!!!!“

“Yummy food. Big portions snd economical Had chicken kabob plate. Comes with pita bread hummus abd cucumber salad abd rice. Couldn’t finish“

“The place is beautiful, ample parking space, staffs are friendly and accomodating and close to FWY 2 and 5“

“Certainly not the only one, but definitely a wonderful choice to get Mediterranean food for lunch or a quick dinner. The place is located in a a cute little building (missed it on the first drive-by) with a mini garden to sit outside at one of four tables. The food is delicious, freshly prepared, cleanly presented. Hit on the menu - I was told - is the Chipotle Chicke. I went for the lamb gyros and the spinach dip - and loved both: Everything was tasty - and good to come back another time - so four stars :-) Now, thank you for reading my comment. Now, if you are curious enough about my "rating scheme", here's "the moment of truth. I am a music photographer who travels the world with the worlds greatest musical talents (Michael Jackson, AC/DC, Rolling Stones or Rammstein, to name a few) for almost 40 years. When being asked "where do you live" I tended to ask "in hotels". At my peak, I "shot" 250 shows a year. Will say: been there, saw and tasted it, and a lot, as I may say and much to the dismay of my doctor who is in my back to lose a few pounds. Quite a few, as I may add, which is why my wife and I walk ten thousand steps per day, where- and whenever we can - and explore a lot of new exciting places - places you may oversee when just driving by. While I love to share my experience with others, I am sometimes shocked how people use their "power of word" to down-rate amazing places because of minor incidents (in my all time favourite​ restaurant Le Petit Four on Sunset Plaza the owner was even called a racist as he refused to toast the (free) bread in his packed restaurant - they simply do not offer toasted bread, as no French​ place does, as I may add). Or I just read "Chicken piccata so over-salted I hope the dog enjoys the leftovers tomorrow, I brought home most of the dish." Did they speak to their service? How could the restaurant learn that something was wrong when patrons even have their leftovers​ boxed to take home? As a dog owner,​ I want to take the writer and shake him or her really bad and say "you give over-salted food to your dog? Anyone with a bit of brain understands this is a horrible idea...​ I hope you agree. So If I had the say on this portal, I would offer just to see ratings of my friends. So I would see what the ratings were by like-minded people. Sadly, I have no say. I try not to compare apples with oranges. A place like this simply does not compare to "The Ritz". At first,​ I assume that a restaurant is clean, they do not greet you with a gun - and they deliver whatever they promise. I do not give stars for things that are expected. In my rating scheme, three or more stars are awarded if they actually exceeded my expectation. Four, if I am sure I will come back. To achieve five stars, I must be willing to take a detour of thirty minutes or more to go again. Again, thank you for reading this.“

“The food es excelente!! My first time buying there, definitely worth it!!“

“My first time at CAVA…the food was so fresh and delicious! We will definitely go back!“
