“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“

“One of my favorite place. I love the food and especially the kobedeh. :)“

“My husband always orders for pick up, but yesterday we decided to seat there ...and wow!! I was so happy about the service the 2 gentlemen very friendly, respectful, presentable, the place very clean the bathroom very clean, very calm place no loud music you can hear yourself having a conversation. Small place but cozy. Defently I will go back and eat there 100%.“

“Incredible food and service. Our waiters name was Christian; he was personable, kind, and hospitable. The food was mouthwatering and had such unique flavors. HUGE portions and definitely comfort food as they state. Will definitely be returning to check out the new menu each month.“

“Definitely a 5 star rating, if i could i would mark 10 stars. Stopped by had some Piroshki:)) was cooked to order, OMG better than back home and have to say that. Clean fresh and crispy. We went to try and ended up eating more that planned !“

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

“I came to Orla by Michael Mina for my 21st birthday celebration and had the best time! Our waiter was so sweet and very attentive. We started with drinks and the whipped chickpea hummus. Then, I had the best salmon ever. Finally, we ended with two amazing desserts. The restaurant is beauitful and conveniently located. I’ll definitely be coming back if I ever find myself in Santa Monica again!“

“This is the best Mediterranean/Lebanese food in LA. I have not tried a better falafel anywhere in the world yet... Definitely 10 stars!!“

“Very impressed with Javan! Service was so helpful and friendly, especially our server Victor. The food was outstanding and so fresh. The combination of flavors in the Alex salad was absolutely outstanding. Our vegetarian Koobideh was delicious. The hummus and babaganoush were perfect. Thank you - we will be back!“

“Great foods and good portions too. 2nd time there and still delicious. 👍🥰“

“Overall I will give this place a 4 starts. The concept is great and I’m sure it was initially running super great. Right now it feels like is missing more attention, service was ok, not rude just ok, food was good, not necessarily the greatest but I think a 4 starts is well deserved.“

“The breakfast / brunch menu has a good concept and good options. The merguez sandwich was good, but too oily. The fries were done well but too salty.

I wish they cooked the food with less oil and salt. Maybe I'll request that if I stop by to eat there again.“

“Was craving some Armenian barbecue and happened to be in Sylmar thought I’d try this local spot out for the first time. Glad I stopped by Hovo recommended me the Lule kabob plate and it was truly delicious, very fresh. I highly recommend this spot if you want some Good barbecue.“

“My husband and I were looking for a spot to eat after running some errands in the Sun Valley area and my goodness Paros food was amazing. We had the chicken breast kebob, seasoned feta cheese, hummus and a side salad. Without exaggerating, their seasoned chicken was the best from any Mediterranean place I've had, and my husband and I are foodies. We enjoyed it so much we HIGHLY recommend Paros. Christina was a sweetheart. She asked for our opinion on their food to make sure we were enjoying their food, and YES, we absolutely did. This family restaurant is super clean and very welcoming. Please try it, you'll love it!!“

“I’ve gone to Rafo’s so many times and haven’t left a review. The chicken thigh sandwich is always so fresh, easy, and juicy. The chicken?! I’ve gotten it at least 5 times now. I had the chicken and beef lule plate once as well and the lule was also super tasty.“

“The perfect meal to break my daily intermittent keto fast. I eat the salad bowls, sub grilled veg for the hummus and I'm relatively carb free. Carbs from the plants but no processed or concentrated carbs from sugar, seeds or beans. Fresh flavorful ingredients, rich flavors and very satisfying. Nice self serve sauce bar with seasoned yogurt, a dill ranch and good hot sauce similar to a mild harissa. Fills me up, satisfies me and then start the timer on the next 24 hrs.“

“Gumri restaurant has best food, you should try people!“

“Delicious , authentic Israeli food just like I’ve had during my visits to Israel. Great staff and welcoming to all!“

“I recently tried Monaia Mediterranean Cuisine and was genuinely impressed by the quality of the food. If you’re looking for authentic Lebanese-style Mediterranean dishes, this place definitely delivers.

The standout for me was the grilled meat—everything from the chicken to the beef kebabs was cooked perfectly, juicy, and full of flavor. The shawarma was also excellent, with well-seasoned meat and fresh toppings. Their sides deserve just as much credit; the hummus was smooth and rich, and the baba ghanoush had a nice smoky depth that tasted homemade.

Portions are generous, which makes the prices feel fair, especially if you’re sharing plates. It’s the kind of place where you can order a few items and easily have enough for leftovers.

The atmosphere is pretty simple and casual—this isn’t a fancy or trendy spot, but more of a low-key neighborhood restaurant. Most people seem to order takeout, and it’s easy to see why the food travels well.

Service was solid and straightforward. Nothing overly attentive, but everything came out correctly and in a reasonable time.

If I had to point out a downside, it would be the ambiance. It’s not somewhere I’d go for a special occasion or a date night, but that’s not really what this place is trying to be.

Overall, Monaia is a hidden gem for anyone who cares more about authentic flavor than presentation. I’d definitely come back, especially when I’m craving quality Mediterranean comfort food“

“Loved this place AMAZING service with the friendliest staff and the food was delicious reminded me of real home cooking I also had the vegan options Delicious delicious and delicious“

“The food was great Loved the lamb gyros.“

“The best hummus I have had! Smooth and delicious. Tried chicken and lulleh kabob and seasoned perfectly. I loved their Mouhamara which is the red walnut pepper dip. The yogurt was light but still perfectly rich. I’m returning with bunch of family coming week. Oh, the amazing rice… I love this place. Good work to the owner and team!“

“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.“

“Hello: With my apology to the owner and staff of Darya Restaurant in Santa Monica I wrote a bad review about 12 days ago. It was my misunderstanding to write a bad review. In fact, It is a good restaurant (5 Star) with excellent, well made, good ambiance, and delicious food and a vast array of dishes on the menu. I must say that their portions are generous in comparison to prices. I ask people to give them a try at least once and see for themselves. I think they are going to be hooked. All branches are good and the Orange county branch has a great ambiance! Thank you Ms. Darya and your staff for your efforts. I will see you again, indeed. Wish you all the best to come! Homayoon Khorram“

“Everything is perfect , me and my family love the food it’s so yummy , Thank you.“

“I think pricing is just right for they quality of the meat and how they serve the food wether it's for take out or dine in. I love that there's grilled tomatoes and veggies included and you can request to have all the rice in one tray and all the meat in another.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Cafe Elegante in Burbank is truly a hidden gem and one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with warm hospitality and outstanding customer service that made me feel right at home.

The food was absolutely incredible. The chicken dishes were perfectly seasoned, tender, juicy, and packed with flavor in every bite. The beef was equally impressive—cooked to perfection, rich, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. You can genuinely tell that great care and attention go into every dish that comes out of the kitchen.

What really stood out were the mouthwatering appetizers. Every appetizer we ordered was fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. They were the perfect way to start the meal and left us excited for the main courses. Each bite showcased the quality ingredients and passion that Cafe Elegante puts into its menu.

The atmosphere was welcoming, clean, and comfortable, making it a wonderful place to enjoy a meal with family and friends. Between the exceptional food, generous portions, and attentive service, Cafe Elegante exceeded all expectations.

If you're looking for delicious chicken, flavorful beef dishes, unforgettable appetizers, and a dining experience that leaves you smiling, Cafe Elegante in Burbank is a must-visit. I cannot wait to return and try more of their amazing menu!“

“Have you ever entered a business and immediately feel like you just walked into your home where family is waiting to greet you? That was the very feeling I had when I stopped by the NoHo Cafe today. I knew the food was good as I used the delivery service before. Today I decided to visit the Cafe and I promise I’ll continue going frequently. The food is delicious but what won me over was the welcome and love you experience when you walk in the door. The staff is amazing... the Cafe has a very “welcome home” atmosphere. The complimentary cup of soup is AWESOME. I sat at a corner table allowing me to do what I love...watch people. As I enjoyed my delicious first meal of 2020 I watched as every person who entered was treated with care and joy. Just like being home the staff will keep checking to see if the food is ok and if you need anything. The NoHo Cafe is a place I recommend to anyone wishing to enjoy a good meal and to experience a “welcome home” feeling. Thank you NoHo Cafe for starting my 2020 with a reminder of the importance of kindness.“

“One of my favorite place to eat however the service is not what it used to be, on this visit I was with some guests and even they brought up the service, so I hope they polish up the place a little and bring it back to what it was......the food was not bad however they took off some side items that usually come with the meal....(I guess it's the sign of the times we are in)“

“Delicious , authentic Israeli food just like I’ve had during my visits to Israel. Great staff and welcoming to all!“

“My Favorite L.A. restaurant by all means. I need to feel the love one puts into their food. And this is the place I feel it the most. Delish, home-style, served with a smile in a kind, friendly way. The one place that I walk into and feels like home. Thank you for you guys“
