“This is what happens when you support shitty businesses like Tendergreens studio city. Mazza actually had great food, nice ambiance, kind staff, and good music too. They didn't deserve to close! We need to do better. Never forgiving this community for actively supporting the business next door that has numerous health issues and bad service. I hope Mazza can come back one day.“
“It’s an amazing over all experience. Great to take a group of friends to share the experience with and the food share style is fun . The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The food is amazing . The atmosphere is a cool chill vibe that is welcoming and it matches its cool aesthetics“
“This was an adorable place for pastries and lunch. There is free parking in the structure nearby, and paid street parking around. My partner and I split the Chilaquiles, which was phenomenal with fresh and crisp chips. The pastry we ordered was an apple danish of some sort, and that was delightful as well. You order in the front before self seating, and enjoying a laid-back time with yourself or your friends. The staff were super friendly. The prices were quite high, but understandable for the location and quality of food.“
“The staff are so nice and I loved the falafel, I wouldn't call this real mediterranean food if that's what you're looking for. The meat and falafel are good but the sides and overall tastes are off, not unpleasant but definitely a lack in favor.“
“I'm still thinking about the food we had here. And that was over a week ago! My son is five and he dove into everything, I was surprised. He kept askig for more. Every aspect of our meal was perfect. The mint tea. The meat and hummus. I wish I lived closer, I'd be there at least once a week if I did.“
“Had a fantastic dining experience at "Bowery Bungalow"! The food was exceptional, with a diverse menu and delicious flavors. The service was attentive and friendly, and the ambiance was inviting. Highly recommend for a memorable dining experience.“
“I was finally able to check off Kismet after months of passing by it after work.The food was delectable and distinctive, and the service was great. The tahdig/persian crispy rice and the roasted maitake mushrooms were our favorites of the night. My boyfriend and I thought that some dishes could tone down on the acidity (like the carrot side dish). Overall, it was a solid dinner, and we would certainly be back to try the other offerings and the dessert menu.“
“a must visit if you're ever in hollywood!!! second time visiting this place and so glad i came back! the food is not only delicious but the service is amazing as well. i didn't catch his name but im assuming he was the owner gave us a whole bag of their pita bread which i loved dipping with my baba ghanoush :) portion sizes are great and food is amazing!! will definitely be returning again. my personal fav is the chicken schawarma plate!“
“the most delicious shawarma, I recommend it to everyone, the guys are very kind, always smiling.Dietary restrictions: you can ask to make shawarma for veganParking: parking available free of chargeKid-friendliness: very tasty for children too“
“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.“
“TLDR: Food is great. Bit pricey but maybe worth it. Really really like this place! Food is great and will give you the feeling that it was made with a lot of care. Flavors and seasoning are great. I have tried the chicken thigh and beef kababs, tabbouleh, falafel babaganoush and hummus and I think the babaganoush is particularly outstanding. The service was pretty standard, nothing particularly outstanding just your normal "as expected" good service. Staff is helpful and willing to answer questions. The do not sell the entrees as a side meaning if you want an extra kabab, they won't sell it to you individually, you would have to order a whole other plate. Think they need to reconsider this. I personally do not fully understand this. The ambiance gives local spot. Seems like many regulars are here from the way it vibes when you enter which is neither good or bad for me, it just what it is. The bathroom is clean and doesn't smell which is remarkable I suppose. Parking is a bit more difficult since they are in a strip mall that's maybe a bit smaller than most but that's not on them. It is what it is. At least its free.“
“This is a little hole in the wall kabob shop in Glendale. What's interesting is when you're driving down the street, there are so many kabob places and we chose this one based on some reviews that we saw and the fact that it look like a mom and pop shop and it was! I love supporting small businesses and the people working behind the counter were so helpful and kind. I'm pretty sure the wife was the one that served us and she was particularly helpful and delivered excellent service. We shared a mixed kabob plate that ended up enough for both of us! The meat was super moist and flavorful, especially I took note of the chicken breast which often can be dry. I would highly recommend this place!“
“After a session at the gym, I was fairly hungry and a protein shake wasn't going to do it. So decided to look up a few places and while driving, I saw this at the corner and this place had been on my bookmarks for a while and decided to give this a go instead. Since it's downtown and midday parking is horrendous, but since they're located near an alley, homegirl parked on the red and came in to do a to go order. Walked up to a kiosk and ordered 2 chicken shawarma, one with hummus and the other with mixed greens. ( Summer is coming around the corner, so gotta make sure we're staying within the macros.) I really did enjoy my plate, the wrap was packed with protein which I enjoyed. Usually a lot of places are skimpy with their protein portions, but the chicken was tender and full of flavor. It was also very refreshing as there was tabuleh and pickles. I like the little banana peppers addition to the salad, I just ate them with the shawarma instead. The hot sauce is creamy, pretty mild, but got the job done. PS Would you guys make a halal hot sauce? Just asking because some people like me would like our insides to burn. Lol. Would be coming back just to try their plate .“
“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!“
“This is a great lil joint hiding away in a not often traveled part of DTLA. It’s a small and cozy spot but the food they cook up is delicious and very good portion sizes. Nothing is crazy overpriced and the flavors of everything are spot on. We got the beef and chicken lule combo and lamb chop combo and loved it all. The char and flavor of the chops and lule was amazing. Plus the rice that comes with it was cooked perfect and I love that it comes with a sumac seasoning to add. Would definitely go back and recommend“
“Best shawarma is a delightful culinary experience. Their marinated meats combined with fresh vegetables and flavorful sauces create a perfect harmony of tastes. The thin, soft wrap encasing these ingridients mpakes every bite a joy. It's a must try for meat lovers.“
“Tried their falafel a chicken kebab plates. Loved every bite especially the falafel of course, and the tahini covered lettuce and tomato. I ordered the plate but ended up making my own little wraps anyway as it comes with pita bread. The owners are very friendly and most of the people coming in were obviously regulars and I loved that! Will return soon!“
“The team here is great. I had the pleasure of hosting a party here in December, they allowed me to book the entire place for the night with full service and entertainment. The owners treat you like family and make sure you have the best experience. Their pricing is also so fair, it's hard to believe how good it is. They were very flexible to what I wanted the party to look alike and accommodated as needed. I wish I had better pictures of the initial time of the party, but here's what I could find. The food was a hit with my guests, everyone said their kabob was great. I personally loved all the side dishes too!“
“I found this place about a month ago while looking for a place to grab some lunch while my truck was at the mechanic across the street ,actually the mechanic was the one who recommended this place and I'm glad he did, I can't get enough of the delicious food here, a must stop when I'm working in the area, if you haven't been here you are missing out for sure, I totally recommend it!!! Thanks for the great food and service.“

“We had an outstanding meal in a beautiful enclosed patio setting - the branzino was prepared perfectly accompanied with great roasted vegetables and it was delcious. The shuk salad was so fresh it tasted like they had just picked the ingredients and the eggplant preparation was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to go back and highly recommend it.“
“Been coming here since I was a little girl. My dad would drive all the way from San Diego to pick up the amazing food for us. It's been years since we've headed up to this area, but today we returned and the food hasn't changed one bit! Everything was delicious, fresh, and made with love!!! The staff (the owners) were so kind and helpful! Can't wait for my next trip!!!!“
“Carousel has been there for So many years, they have the absolute best Mediterranean food you can get anywhere. Highly recommended. And I love that they have vegetarian options lots of vegetarian options.Vegetarian options: They have tons of vegetarian options. I ordered one of their soups and their combo veggie platter phenomenal I could barely finish half of it. A great buy for your buck.“
“This spot has the best hummus in the Los Angeles area.The menu options, the aromas, the flavors will teleport and transcend you to an Israeli hummus experience like no other.Every bite was delicious and indeed yummy.There are several vegan options here that would make anyone want to return for more. My wife and I will.If you're in the area, don't miss Hummus Yummy!“
“If you want a true home cooked experience, you have to go to Caravan. I started coming here a year ago and now it is my go to for a hearty meal with my family and of course delightful conversations with the owners and staff. You will walk in there a customer but leave as a member of their family. Always remember to support mom/pop business!!!!“
“Best restaurant. I recently dined at Shamshiri Restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. The ambiance was elegant, with beautiful decor and soft lighting that created a cozy atmosphere. The service was exceptional, with friendly staff who were attentive to our needs. The food was the highlight of the evening, with each dish bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. I particularly enjoyed the kebabs, which were cooked to perfection. While the prices were on the higher side, the quality of the food and service made it well worth it. I highly recommend Shamshiri Restaurant for a delightful dining experience."Remember to be honest and specific in your review to help others make informed decisions about dining at Shamshiri Restaurant.lookimg forward to come back again soon❤️“

“Was in it the area for a meeting and want to eat something fresh and healthy so I found this place on yelp first impression was as if I was going to park in the gas station next-door. However, once I went in, and ordered food, everything was great. Christina and the front was amazing and helpful. Her recommendations were on point and everything was delicious. she did everything from recommending, taking our order, and propping the food. And all with a smile on her face. Will definitely come back for lunch if I'm in the area again.“
“I ordered a falafel wrap with standard toppings and it was delicious!! I would add a little extra yogurt sauce next time but it wasn’t dry by any means. Also, the cilantro/jalapeño sauce is killer. I found myself on their website dreaming of my next order…!Vegetarian options: Falafel, hummus and lots of grains and salads to choose from.“
“Beef Shawerma and Vegetarian Mezze Platter were soooo good! Beef was super tender and flavorful. Rice well seasoned and delicious. Falafel amazing! Even though the baba ghanoush and hummus were side dishes in the platter, they were both standouts.I would happily return and highly recommend this place. Good for takeout. Just watch out about the parking situation, especially in the evenings; it's always a pain.Parking: It's a huge parking lot, but it's crazy to navigate because people double park and sit in the middle of an already tight passageway and don't care. Saw many close call accidents.“
“A true hidden gem. These things are dangerously addicting and the appeal of eating them out of a pizza box is an experience like no other. Kind service and casual diner ambiance. Also the sauces? Coming back to try every single one of them.“
“This is certainly a place in the center of the business district that is always worth your time and money. Beyond the nice restaurant vibe and mouth watering fusion of dishes, after having your meal, there is a nice rooftop bar to help amplify your day/evening!“
“I've driven past this cafe so many times and didn't even realize that there was a hidden gem there! Came in for lunch and was greeted by a sweet woman who took my order. It's definitely a mom and pops joint so you'll feel right at home immediately. I ordered the chicken shawarma with salad and the chicken didn't disappoint! It was tender and flavorful, just what I needed to satisfy my appetite. I do have to say that it's a small spot so there is no restrooms available for customers but if you're getting your car washed, you can use the one there and walk over.“
“I wish I could give this place 10 stars! Just an incredible experience. The owner, Sam, was a delight from the start. As first timers, we had no idea what to order and were a bit overwhelmed with the gigantic menu! Sam and his wife Fabiola were extremely patient, breaking down each of the dishes and recommending his favorite dishes. Ultimately we went with the zaatar wrap.“It’s big,” Sam warned us with a smile.“I think i’ll be ok and can finish it,” I laughed.Boy was I wrong, LOL. The zaatar wrap is MASSIVE. I could only manage half of it, and I was starving. And it was only $13! I’ve had smaller sandwiches in LA for 16. It’s the best deal ever!After our very yummy and generous meal, Sam approached us and asked if we would like some coffee? on the house! He flavored it with cardamom, which is supposedly great for digestion.Was so happy that he gave us coffee at the end! It was delicious and the perfect end to a large satisfying meal.Will be customers for life!“
“Fantastic shawarma with a rich flavor! Visited this place and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the shawarma. Every ingredient was fresh and crispy, and the blend of spices simply captivated my taste. Will definitely come back here again!“
“The best and most authentic Mediterranean food I've ever tasted. The hummus was better than any other I have tried. The stew with crispy rice was so flavorful and unique, and all of the starting dishes came out within 5 minutes of ordering. The wait staff really helped each other out and it was very romantic to have the indoor patio. I would bring family here, friends, and anybody else that lives in the area should definitely try this place. Amazing food.“
“It was lunch and I was hungry I stopped a new spot to me ! I love trying new places ! It was worth itI went with the hot wings just was in the mood it’s priced well but wow it was amazing the hot wings had the correct amount of sauce fresh chicken excellent dipping ranch“
“I stumbled upon this bakery while visiting a different shop in the plaza and was pleasantly surprised by the owners' hospitality. They kindly offered to prepare fresh lahmajun if I could wait a bit and even treated me to complimentary Armenian coffee during my wait. The highlight was that my family absolutely adored the lahmajun! It's definitely a place we'll keep coming back to.“
“It’s hard to find good food in dtla and a lot of places are overrated, had passed by on my way to work and the aroma got my attention. Once I finally tried their cuisine, my mouth was exploding with so many exquisite flavors. 10/10 highly recommend.“
“Grade A (96): Food was excellent, Had 4 different type Kebabs and they were all amazing. The Antakly Bread was the best I've had, (Awesome and rich with veggies and Pepper paste). Krdiyeh (Cheese, Tomato & Jalapeño inside a toasted bread. Tabbouleh was very good with the right amount of lemon juice. Hummus & Babaghannouj were very good, but we had to order another Hummus because the quantity is a bit thin. Price per person can be anywhere from $20 to $50 depending on how much you want to eat, but I think $25 is a port good standard portion.Vegetarian options: Middle Eastern food has a lot of vegetarian options like Tabbouleh, Fattoush, Hummus, Mutabbal, Falafel, fries, Krdiyeh Cheese beureg etc.Parking: There was parking when we went.“
“We live just down the street from here and it’s one of our favorite places to pick up dinner. We often joke that we could blindly point at anything on the menu to order and would be happy with it. Quality is amazing and pricing is more than fair for the amount of food you get. Highly recommend this place to anyone!!!“
“I visited Antonio's today to cater for my mom's party, as she had a craving for Mediterranean cuisine. Despite it being Super Bowl Sunday and the restaurant bustling with activity, the staff graciously guided me through the catering menu. They even went above and beyond to accommodate a last-minute order, with the cook agreeing enthusiastically. Despite the rush, they ensured my order was delivered promptly. The food, as always, was superb, leaving everyone thoroughly satisfied. I opted for the special for 10 people and added an additional 10 skewers for an extra $50. A big thank you to the entire team at Antonio's for their exceptional service and delicious food.“
“I had an absolutely fantastic experience at this meat shop! The service was top-notch, and the flavors were simply mouthwatering. Patrick went above and beyond to accommodate my changing order, demonstrating professionalism and kindness throughout. His exceptional service truly sets this establishment apart from any other meat shop I've visited. I highly recommend this place to anyone in search of delicious meats and outstanding customer service.Keep up the excellent work, Patrick!“
“Tried this lunch spot today based off Yelp reviews. It did not disappoint. Quiet, clean, and the food was delicious. The owner, Lusy, was there and brought us a sample of their leek soup before bringing our order out. It was fantastic. We took some to go after finishing our meal. Highly recommend you seek out this hidden gem. My only complaint... parking is a little tough.“
“The best we go there every other week..Monday meloukhiyya.( tgey have daily menus).the best..Wednesday okra..waw. the chicken falafel.

“This spot is probably one of the best Mediterranean food restaurants I’ve been to.I ordered the salmon with extra salad, no pita, no bread and two skewers of chicken koobideh. The salmon was very tender and flavorful. The ground chicken kabobs were also very delicious and the salad with their house salad dressing was very tangy and matched well with the meats. Great customer service, two TV’s and a great spot overall.I’d definitely come back again to try their other menu items.“
“This place continues to be top notch. From tahdig to kabobs, you can't go wrong!----OMG... the kabob is out of this world!!! Actually all things on the menu impress! Every time I'm in the area, I make sure to stop by. Our go to:Tahdig with ghormeh sabzi and gheymeh (nomnomnom)MaustShiraziBaghali poloKabob bargJoojeh kabob“
“Yummy healthy Mediterranean food, cool ambiance, good vibes, friendly staff, and open late! They also have a very generous loyalty program.Vegetarian options: Falafel plate, falafel wrap, baba ghanoush, hummus, cauliflower fritters, lentil soup, different salads, tabouleh, fries…Parking: Small parking lot or there’s a Rite Aid parking lot across the street“
“We decided to give this place a try after my neighbor gave them a rave review. We ordered online and the food was ready when we got there. The restaurant is not meant for big gatherings but have enough tables to accommodate small families. Very clean and comfortable. We are pleasantly surprised by how big the food portion is. We ordered the chicken plate, it comes with green salad, and 2 sides. The chicken is so tasty on top the rice along with the pita bread and hummus. I could not finish all the food and even my son has left over for tomorrow! Will definitely go back again to try their beef plate.“
“Top of the line product, Top of the line service. You can definitely taste the quality wagyou meet. this is all different experience compared to your regular Shawarma stand. Yes it's pricey but it because of the quality. Absolutely worth a chance. Don't forget the free coffee in the end.“
