“I tried this place for lunch today. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the restaurant. The menu has good variety and the prices were reasonable. I ordered a shaved beef and lamb wrap, which was delicious! The serving size was a footlong size, so I brought home half for another meal. I will definitely go back again.“
“I can't rave enough about this place. The owner Coach is not only so friendly but makes authentic homemade Mediterranean food. After working in a Mediterranean restaurant and being around the culture my whole life I can honestly say eating at this restaurant you feel like family. I wish he had one closer to where I live.“
“It was recommended and was my first time trying this place. No regrets! Food - I ordered a grilled cheese bowl. It comes with 4 pieces of grilled sliced cheese, two types of seasoned rice, hummus and salad. It was a perfect size for me. Salad was crunchy, everything tasted freshly prepared and delicious! Service - I can't ask better! I received friendly, welcoming and perfect service! I'm so glad that I tried this place out. I'll definitely come back again and this place is highly recommended to everyone. There are 2 other locations as well, just to mention. It's really worth trying, if you haven't tried yet.“
“This was a great gem to find in westminster! My husband and I were on a business trip and enjoyed the food and hospitality so much we returned the next day and brought a friend. We absolutely LOVED the falafel, kibbeh, and humus the most. We also really enjoyed the chicken kebab and beef shawarma. My favorite meat was a chicken they made special for the dinner buffet. I was so disappointed to learn it wasn't a menu item that could be ordered ?. I also liked the Barbosa dessert it as s coconut flavor without being over powering and the lentil soup was also AMAZING so creamy and smooth. Definitely top tier lentil soup he swears its just blended lentils but there must be some magical ingredients or process because that lentil soup was SOOO SMOOTH. ("Just like the ocean under the moon" silently singing Santanas song withbthe mtch box 20 guy in my head now)Ahmed the owner was really nice and so was the Mexican lady working for him. I don't remember her name, but we were thankful she spoke Spanish as when we came in the forst time, the only two people there were her and another guy who only spoke Russian. Neither had good English but luckily my husband spoke enough Spanish and we pointed at the menu items and were able to order. Ahmed speaks fairly good English and so did the lady who was their the next day.This food was so yummy we would come back even if no one spoke english or spanish. We will definitely be back again. It's been a while since I've had really good falafel, so that was a super pleasant surpise.The venue is small, only about 6 or so tables that seat about 4 each. They do have a high chair if needed but no changing table in the bathroom. I wouldn't call this easily wheelchair accessible as the threshold is a bit high, and the space between tables is a bit limited. It would be challenging to maneuver through if all the tables are full.I highly recommend checking it out if you are looking for yummy Mediterranean food and are not afraid of language differences. ?“
“When I walked in, I wasn't too sure about the place. However, the owner was extremely nice and helpful. Then, I was presently surprised with some of the best kabobs I have eaten. They take great pride in their cooking.This is a good find, especially if you're like me and tired of fast food chains.“
“This humble takeout eatery serves more authentic Turkish coffee than any Mediterranean restaurants I've found in SoCal. The coffee so thick it looks like mud at the bottom of your cup---PERFECTIONThe establishment has a talent for making bread. The crust of our pizza was soft and chewy on the inside while light and crispy on the outside. That said, the Hawaiian pizza was topped with canned pineapple (making it overly sweet) while the accompanied ham seemed to have been packaged meat and, therefore, a bit underwhelming in taste. Even so, the crust was sovery good that I'm willing to come back to try other pizzas on the menu“
“This is hands-down one of the best places for convenient Mediterranean food that's affordable portion-wise and is quality and delicious. It's a hidden gem and workers are super nice to accommodate you. I really enjoyed the Chicken Kabobs which were decently sized, juicy, and well-seasoned. Hummus pairs well with the falafel. The falafel surprisingly had less of bean/chickpea taste and more cilantro (?)Overall, definitely coming back whenever I'm down for some fresh chicken kabobs with a side of pita. PLUS, they have 2 types of pita breads: white and wheat. I'm also coming back for the wheat pita“
“The staff was friendly and very attentive. I dined with a party of 6 and everyone seemed to enjoy the food and the portions were generous . We shared the mezza appetizer which was delicious and definitely enough for the 6 of us. I ordered a chicken bowl which was tasty but the chicken kabob was overcooked.“
“Love this place! The food is always great and the quantity for the price is more than fair, in my opinion. My wife and I eat here once or twice a month, sometimes more. The staff is super friendly as well. I highly recommend and if you live nearby, definitely give them a shot.“
“Upscale Lebanese restaurant with variety of dishes sporting authentic taste of Beirut. From delicious vegetarian choices to succulent meats, all with just the right amount of spices.Vegetarian options: Falafel is the best but there are many more to try.“

“Have been coming to LBX for a while now to try new things and I can definitely say that this is now one of my favorite places to go to. Shout out to Jesus for being extremely nice and recommending me a dish that was absolutely delicious! I will definitely be coming back and bringing my friends and family along with me next time.“
“I’m from San Diego headed to Beverly Hills and had to stop to charge my Tesla .my mother and I got hungry and saw this place on Google five minute walk away.The whole experience was wonderful. I was greeted by a kind, middle-aged woman and handed a menu. While I was waiting for my order to be prepared. Two little kids ran up to the man in the kitchen and asked if he could open their orange soda for them, the clip for the soda was broken off so he gave them a new one. After watching this all go down in the distance, with a smile on my face, I made eye contact with the guy behind the counter & he offered me an orange soda :).Orange soda is my favorite. Today is my birthday. He didn’t know that.Food came out pretty quick.Was delicious.Easiest five star review of my life.Thank you so much.“
“My family and I love stopping by at this location for a meal whenever we in town visit my parents. I never get disappointed. Last night, 12/23/23, our meals were not prepared correctly. What impressed me is that they rectify it immediately without any negative attitudes. Compliments to the manager and staff at this location for continuously making my family’s and mine dining experience so enjoyable. Thank you.“
“Amazing guys preparing amazing food. Besides the obvious Gyros and chicken shawerma Gyros, the homemade Hummus is made like grandma would make at home.Baklava is made in-house from scratch, and it is not ready-made that stays for weeks on the shelf.If Falafel is your thing,you hit the jackpot with this place. Try to pair falafel with hummus and some hot sauce and veggies with hot pita and wow .Vegetarian options: Salad,hummus,falafel.“
“We are Greeks from Australia and we wanted to try this restaurant and WOW... The food is fresh, the quality is amazing and the taste is like we are eating in Greece... we are fussy eaters and with a family of chefs, we are critical of Greek restaurants and we were surprised. We had the fish from Greece and it was cooked exactly like it was done in Greece. The Saganaki was exceptional and the Prawn/Shrimp Saganaki was mouth watering. From the Octopus to the beets to the Greek salad and Mousaka...YUM! Give it a go and you won't be disappointed as it's obvious they use quality products and no seed oils... Olive oil used everywhere and it enhances the flavours and taste... we will be back.“
“Great Food, even greater service! The Beef Kabob Pita Wrap, the SHRIMP Kabob Pita Wrap! The SAMOSAS! DELICIOUS! One night they forgot to include an item in my order. I called the next day and before I could get my Full sentence out, NAYA was already aware of the situation. She was extremely apologetic, offered to remake the item and included any item from the menu that I wanted for free for the inconvenience. THATS customer service. Tonight I came in and Allen greeted me with such kindness. He's the sweetest and remembered my order. Abdul, in the kitchen along with the rest of the kitchen staff do NOT disappoint! Every single time I order, the food has the same delicious quality. 10/10!“
“I’ve been ordering off of DoorDash and honestly this is my new favorite place the 1st time ordered the food blew my mind. Even my mother who’s picky on certain foods was also amazed. I found my new favorite place.Kid-friendliness: has kid friendly foods fish and chips and chicken nuggets.“
“Literally, my favorite place to eat. I'm sad that I only recently discovered this gem of a restaurant. Bobby and Soheila are fantastic people. I'd recommend the hummus, best ever. Also, ask about their stews. Their fesenjān will change your life. No hyperbole here, try it.“
“We arrived on the late side for a Sunday night, but the gracious ladies quickly seated us and brought the menus. We all decided on the kebab plates: 1 chicken, 1 lamb, and 1 salmon! All were cooked to perfection and served quickly. We did decide to add a half order of humus, as well!“
“Keep coming back to this spot, for many reasons. The food, service, ambiance, location, novelty. I've been during the daytime for a latte in the sun, and I've been at night for an incredible dinner service. I would say I prefer the nighttime experience, just because the coffee is pretty over priced, and they haven't nailed the daytime-cafe-vibe yet. Needless to say, they have certainly nailed the nighttime vibe. Wonderful small plates, super yummy pizzas, creative and beautiful dishes. Recently, my group of four and I shared a pizza and a few small dishes as well as entrees. Out of all of the dishes, my Alaskan halibut was agreed upon as the best, which was surprising! The creamed leeks beneath the fish were unlike anything I've ever had. We also REALLY enjoyed the snap pea salad. Such unique flavor combinations! The burnt basque cheesecake and marscapone gelato were wonderful treats to end our meal. I will continue to come back!“
“When we arrived, we were greeted warmly by the staff and was immediately struck by the beautiful decor of the restaurant. The ambiance was inviting and relaxing, making it the perfect place for a special occasion or a casual dinner with friends. The menu at Ammatoli offers a variety of Mediterranean and Greek dishes, all made with fresh and high-quality ingredients. I started with the hummus and pita bread, which was incredibly creamy and flavorful. For my main course, I had the lamb chops, and they were cooked to perfection. The meat was tender and juicy, and the flavors were out of this world. My dining companions also raved about their dishes, which included a delicious seafood pasta and a flavorful chicken souvlaki. One thing that really stood out to me was the exceptional service. Our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable, and made excellent recommendations. He also checked in on us throughout the meal to ensure everything was to our liking. To top off the wonderful meal, we ordered the baklava for dessert, and it was the perfect sweet ending to our dinner. I also appreciated that the portions were generous, so we were able to share and try multiple dishes without feeling stuffed. Overall, I highly recommend Ammatoli Restaurant in Long Beach. The food, service, and ambiance are all top-notch, and it's clear that the staff takes pride in providing a memorable dining experience for their guests. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes from their menu.'“
“great food, great vibea! we got the family style and it was so good, highly recommend the lamb chops! someone in our group cried because the food was so good. the waitstaff was so nice and helpful (especially Fabio) and it was a great night, highly recommend!“
“Hidden gem alert. Really great middle eastern food. The beef, chicken, and kofta kebabs were all moist and delicious. The rice fluffy and the baklava is to die for. All reasonably priced and super friendly and sweet service from the family. Highly recommended!“
“It was my first of going there for lunch with my friends . There are variety of foods you can choose such as Hummus , eggplants , grilled kebab , pizza , grilled veggies and lots of salads . All of them fresh , flavorful and tasty . Highly “

“I’m so so sorry for all those that miss out on this little gem tucked away in this little strip mall cause you’re certainly missing out on some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve had in ages. Superblylicious!!! The place is small and very unassuming and in fact I thought I had walked in the wrong place if not for the yummalicious smell of the food in the air that had pulled me further in…my son picked this place out but I’d been wanting to try it for several months. I had the Lamb kabab dinner my son had the steak and then ordered a chicken kabab on the side. They were so delicious and tender I will order all 3 again. Yep. All THREE and share. Oh oh…the Garlic potatoes are off the rocker. So Ah-May-Zing! One order is enough for 2 people. But let’s talk hummus…seriously let’s talk. I love hummus and they do hummus. 5 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ for the hummus. So to recap we ordered the kabab dinner which are served over a huge bed of fluffy flavored rice with a grilled onion and tomato, huge serving of hummus ❤️ plus pita bread, salad, pickled spicy onions and the best garlic dip EHVERRRR! They have wraps, bowls and all kinds of items. The food is done right and I’m already planning to go back this week. They have 2 other locations. The one in Long Beach is a larger restaurant that is a larger dine in serves wine and beer. Going to try there too.“
“They currently have a Friday falafel deal where you can get five pieces for only one dollar the staff are super nice and the falafel was honestly worth it for a dollar and it also came with some tahini sauce on the side which was pretty good.Although this is more of a grab and go place with no seating inside, you can sit outside and there's this grass nice area with good benches.“

“In town for the #expowest2024 show and decided to spend the weekend in Huntington, Beach. Looked up of lots of places and landed on The Black Trumpet…I’m in the food business and travel a lot, so when eating out it takes a high level of execution to really get me excited! This place absolutely exceeded my expectations on every level! We tried a little of everything, and we were blown away….filet empanadas were absolutely the best I’ve ever had hands down! From the first course to dessert with a nice port, we were just in love! Service was impeccable and atmosphere was just perfect! So glad we made the stop, and it will certainly be my go to next time I’m in town!“
“My boyfriend and I absolutely love this place and are frequent visitors! This is one of the only places that has great tabbouleh and turkish salad! I would recommend to call ahead so you can pick up your order quick, and don't forget to ask for the yogurt sauce! It pairs amazingly well with the pita bread. Lots of room to dine in, but they also get a lot of togo orders.“
“What a gem hidden inside of a corner liquor store!Popped into here for lunch with my dad (a syrian man, born and immigrated, so he knows his arabic food).I had the chicken shish tawook plate, he had the falafel "tacos"Both items were excellent. The value was high, the service was friendly... and if I didn't mention it the food was great.Ambiance was kind of funny being in a liquor store to order, but i've had great food in all kinds of gas stations.. so why not?“

“Wow! Absolutely amazing customer service and food! I want to give a very special acknowledgment to our cashier who helped us today, Helen. She truly represents the company in such a high standard and really is dedicated to making sure all guest are welcomed and helped with a genuine character. I will definitely be back and let everyone know how this business and its team is doing everything right. Thank you Luna grill and thank you Helen For your above outstanding work and customer service.“
“Amazing experience, this is the only way I can describe our visit. I ordered the eggplant and my wife ordered the falafel. Food was as authentic as I remember it from my living and visiting the Middle East. we will definitely visit Yalla again.“
“First time trying out this new place ever since I used to work across the street at stater bros. I must say, it was definitely worth the try. The owner here is very welcoming & has such a wonderful positive attitude where you don’t see that in most places nowadays. I tried their beef fried rice, it was so delicious & on top of that, he offered me aside of soup with my meal. Recommend to stop by if you’re in the area.“

“I've been going here since they've opened and this is by far the best Lebanese food around! It makes you feel like you've had a home-cooked meal the owner. Bruno was beyond nice and welcoming. It's so refreshing when the food matches the excellent service. I would highly recommend this place my kids love the food as well. It's always a hit.“
“This place is simply amazing. The best lamb/beef gyros I've ever in my life, The staff is super friendly and just hearing the conversations the owner has with each and every customer is so nice. I'm not easily impressed but RUN to this place!!!“
“I was Looking for a spot to eat healthy today. Found this place. Entered this business established, was greeted and seated immediately. Menu's were given to us. Ordered a Greek Lamb Salad, flat steak dinner and wine. Took a bite of both food entrees. All was fresh and delicious, including the wine! Saturday evening was quite pleasant. A guitarist was playing the night away which made the ambiance great. The thing that stood out was the service. Our Waiter and the staff kept checking up on us and stating if we are good and if we needed anything else. This was ongoing on our dining experience here. This shows that their very adamant about the service given that reflect on their business. A tip worth giving. Not like those other locations where they barely put in any effort on customer service but expect you to tip 23% or more. I recommend this place in the Lakewood California area. You will get great tasting food and service. This is my go to for Greek food in this area.!“
“Oh my, I think I have a new addiction. The green Olive. This little grill, so delicious. Parking is a problem, unless you park in front of another business unit. Greek Grilled and charbroiled Kabobs Chicken,Fillet Migon are my favorite. The portions are squeezed into small styrofoam containers. Not good for the environment! But the food is delicious. Prices are the maximum I pay for street eats. The service? They have a hard working good group, so tip them. No pictures here, because I'm hungry. Only caution, They take on line orders, hopefully you don't get behind a slew of them,or your order may take a little longer, but you can bet it will be worth the wait.“
“If I could give the service 10 stars I would. This place is seriously amazing. The staff Austin and Leo are ALWAYS friendly and helpful. Wonderful dishes. Great price. Perfect service. What more can you ask for in a restaurant? Need to check this place out in downtown Long Beach asap!!Parking: Park at the Hubb for the first two hours free !“
“I was there right when it opened and had the best experience, everything was perfect and definitely will be going again. For the first time everything about a place complimented everything the staff were super helpful, the food was amazing, the drinks were nice and cheap, and the atmosphere was phenomenal.“
“Fresh, clean, pleasant atmosphere, delicious. If you're looking for a meal that is clean and not full of grease this spot has you covered. It's refreshing and tasty. The cheesecake is delicious. would recommend to anyone and everyone. Staff is on point direct customer service and very descriptive in the items offered. I had the beef with all the offerings of toppings over rice and also opted for some humus will be back to try the other items in the future. The signature sauce is also a great addition to the meal. Putting everything into one conveniently packed bowl. To summarize check it out.“
“It was terrible. From the time we walked in it was like what are you doing here. It took them forever to bring a menu & even water it was as if they didn't want us there. Then the waitress trick us to order this meal for 2 people which cost us almost $80. which we split the bill. The manager didn't help at all because we call her to the table. We were the only black people in the place.“
“Stopped here last week and ordered a Chicken Kebab plate, and the 2 roasted half chickens. Everything is delicious at this location. Bigger location to where you can enjoy outdoor and indoor dining, I have been coming here since they have opened. Feels good to have them in Orange County. Customer Service is good here. I live in Fountain Valley, and we will be back for more.“
“It's always seemed to me that chain restaurants tend to be best right after they've opened up, and that's definitely the case here. Zankou Chicken is always good but this new location seemed just slightly better than the older ones. The food came out immediately and yet it was hot and fresh, like it had just been made. My only complaint is the complaint I have about Zankou in general, which is their portion size. Their quarter dark meat chicken plates are too small, but a half chicken would be too much (and I don't like white meat anyway, so it would be wasted on me). I always leave a Zankou still somewhat hungry, and that shouldn't happen, not with the prices they're charging. Please, Zankou, offer a three-piece chicken option! Either that, or get bigger chickens! The chicken legs you use are tiny!“
“Love love loveeee the food here! Super fresh, healthy and full of flavor. I especially love the gyro bowl. Lots of protein and it all just goes so good together. The pita wraps are really good too. The sauces they have are some of my favorite. Great prices for amazing food. Can't wait to try the deserts soon, those look so good-- definitely coming back on my cheat meal days. ;)“
“This was the second time going to Luna Grill today. I enjoy this spot a lot. The food is always fresh and hot straight from the stove. I love that! I order my usual and it never disappoints it's delicious! All the tables were clean and the restrooms love that. Karla and Daniella were so kind and very helpful! Thank you!“

“I'm not sure why it took me so long to try this place, but I'm so glad Uber Eats suggested it. Firstly, their plates are jam-packed with abundant servings. Secondly, they're protein options are well seasoned, juicy, and delicious. I've had their beef, gyro, and chicken. All three are to die for, but my favorite is their beef and gyro. Lastly, their green sauce is fire/cherry on top. Yes, it's a bit spicy, but nothing you can't tolerate if you enjoy spice. All in all, this place checks off all the boxes for me, and I'm so glad I found it. If you haven't tried it, don't wait. Run! You'll thank me later.“
“Impressed. Went there on Easter Sunday as my usual spot was closed. Ordered the chicken shawarma to go. The chicken was nicely seasoned and the portion sizes for the sides were generous. They threw in a lot of pita too with that butter garlic dip. Their pita bread was very fresh and/or homemade.So yeah, I’ll go back.“
“Wow.....shocked at how good this is. Definitely the tastiest spices I've ever had and the vegan garlic cream is to die for.Don't waste money on upscale Mediterranean food this place is the jam!Posting a pic ofy empty place because I destroyed that meal! Sorry :)“
“Tabouli salad varies greatly from vendor to vendor. This one at the Kabob Shop seems perfection to me! Just the right ratio of parsley, onion, grain, and lemon. Mmmm!And the chickpea salad is right next to it in perfection.Both perfect paring with the saffron chicken kabob“
“Good food in a good portion for a reasonable price in a beach town in California. The gyros is no top quality meet neither, but the salad and rest of the plate is. Nice sunny terrace. Speedy service and preparing of your order. Would try the lamb chops or the calamari next time. My buddy recommends the greek salad with grilled scampi and chickenVegetarian options: Go somewhere else to eat your grassKid-friendliness: There was a girl enjoying lunch with daddy“
