“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!!“

“The little plates are yummy. I love the pita bread that came with the hummus (Salatim plate). The other plates were good also. I loved the bread pudding (I think it's better than the best cake). What I like the most about Bacari, besides the beautiful ambiance, is the friendliest staff.“

“Delicious! Really interesting and tasty food.“

The manager was amazing too. The coke machine was not working and he said take one of the bottles. Do you know how I feel??? I feel like like, I will tell to a million people about how good cava is!!!!“

“Amazing food. Great family run business. It’s just like eating a home cooked meal every time. The family is one of the nicest you will meet. Been coming here for a lot of years and the food is consistently great. Also, they do catering for any sized parties.“

“Have gotten takeout from here a number of times. Never disappointed. Flavorful chicken that's nice and tender, ingredients always seem fresh.
All of the sauces are very tasty and they are very generous with them. The chicken plate and The Get Greeky bowl are, so far, my favorites. Pricing is fair compared to some other places.
Staff is friendly and attentive.“

“It’s the most place to hangout and enjoy caravans meal. Great food and excellent service Caravan restaurant is the best and awesome place“

“Bacari Sherman Oaks was the most incredible dining experience I have had in a very long time. It was more than just great food. The staff at Sherman Oaks created a complete experience with ambiance, fantastic service, and creative dishes to choose from.

The ambiance is energetic yet relaxed, and the Mediterranean-inspired small plates are incredibly creative and fun to share. Every dish we tried was outstanding. Our server, I believe her name was Mallery, was absolutely fantastic. Her warmth, enthusiasm, and attention to detail elevated an already amazing meal into something truly special.

Congratulations to the Bacari team for building something so unique. Bacari delivers an experience well beyond great food. I will enthusiastically recommend Bacari to everyone I know who visits Los Angeles, and I'll definitely be back when I'm in town.

Wishing the entire Bacari family continued success!“

“We just had dinner here for the first time, and the food was absolutely amazing! We were warmly greeted by Vanessa, who was incredibly kind and welcoming.

We ordered the Branzino and the Chicken Combo Plate, and everything was delicious. We also tried the hummus, strawberry mojito, and baklava—each dish was full of fresh, vibrant flavors.

Thank you for the excellent food and outstanding service. Our entire experience was wonderful from start to finish.

May God shower this restaurant with blessings, prosperity, and continued success. We will definitely be back!“

“The Lule kabob is very juicy and tender! Full of flavor! Very friendly staff, ready to take your order. Catering services are excellent too. They are closed Sundays, but they may cater food for special events on Sundays is you ask!“

“One of my favorite spots to grab a quick meal. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently good. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and service is always fast. I also love all the sauce options and the healthier menu choices. Portions are generous too—I usually end up with leftovers for later. Definitely a place I keep coming back to!“

“To be honest, Luna Grill was somewhere in the middle for me. I didn’t have a bad experience, but I also didn’t leave feeling particularly impressed. The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly, and the service was quick, which I always appreciate.

The food was decent and tasted fresh, but nothing really stood out. Everything was prepared well enough, yet I never had that moment where I thought, “I can’t wait to order this again.” The portions were reasonable, the ingredients seemed good quality, and the menu offers plenty of healthy options, especially if you’re looking for Mediterranean food.

What makes this a difficult review is that there wasn’t anything wrong with my visit. The meal was perfectly acceptable, and I can understand why many people enjoy this place. At the same time, with so many restaurants in Los Angeles competing for attention, it’s hard for me to say that Luna Grill would be my first choice.

Overall, it’s a solid restaurant that does a lot of things right. If you’re in the area and want a quick Mediterranean meal, it’s worth trying. My experience was neither disappointing nor memorable—just a decent meal served by friendly people in a comfortable environment.“

“Coffee was delicious! And another time wine was awesome! Michal was attending to us and he was polite and helpful!“

“I moved one block from this restaurant,from all the other places this is one of my top 3 in the area, it's very cozy & most importantly, the food is great & it's very clean, it's casual for quick eat or even for friends & families or dates, I recommend it highly, try the steak Shawarma or the beef & chicken combo plate, im a regular now , I come here at least once a week“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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!“

“In love with this restaurant 🤤🤤🤤“

“This is such an amazing little place with fantastic food! I’m Armenian, and we Armenians are very picky when it comes to foodwe truly love to eat. This was my first time stopping by, and I was genuinely surprised by how delicious everything was.

I had the cheese borek, the cheese and veggie plate, and the sampler plate, and every single item was incredible. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with care.

These guys are the best. Thank you so much—I will definitely be back again!”“

“Raul was very welcoming! So many choices on the menu and everything sounded yummy.
I was unable to make a decision and Raul was helpful and accommodating.
Highly recommend this place!
Food is excellent👍👍“

“happily 😊 surprised. lunch on the run. Good Chicken!“

“They have great quality products and they are very friendly“

“I had my family at The Grill Stories Restaurant yesterday Feb. 28, 2026 There were 6 of us and the food was amazingly delicious we had two big family platers and extra sides , my daughter needs gluten free so she had the Mediterranean salad alone separately she said it was fantastic. The outside dining was very comfortable and cozy , it was a beautiful 85° weather . The round lady hostess and other people there were very friendly and welcoming . After we stuffed ourselves there was still plenty of food to pack and take home . Ultimately it was a great experience and with all the food it was approximately $35 per person including tax and tip, for most people it would be less because we ordered a lot of delicious food. We will return again Thank you to The Grill Stories“

“Amazing food , great ambiance and friendly staff“

“DELICIOUS 😋HEALTHY FOOD AND VERY NICE AND FRIENDLYCUSTOMER SERVICE .“

“My husband is always skeptical to try new food (places) BUT this time HE JUST LOVED IT! We now love Armenian food. It was DELICIOUS and prepared fresh .Virab, was very friendly and he recommended we try the combo plate. We had the beef and lamb and the chicken and lamb Lula. Super delicious and tasty.
We will come back for sure. Highly recommended. TY Virab!“

“Is there a way to contact the restaurant? I can’t seem to find a phone number.
I need to reschedule my reservation and I don’t want them to charge my credit card because I can’t make the original reservation. - Alexandria Oliver“

“The overall experience was great. The food was tasty and plentiful. The setting of the room and patio as well as table serving is very pleasant. One negative to note were the drinks: my latte was not satisfying - too small (~12oz.), not enough milk (too much foam for a latte) and per my request for extra steamed milk they offered two Coffeemate creamer pods - all while it set me back $10.40+tax; a 0.5 litter (16.9oz.) bottle of Pellegrino was $4.16+tax.“

“This place is excellent! One of the best Persian restaurants in Los Angeles ! Wow! I was blown away by the great food. Service and decor was amazing as well.“

“todo está súper rico de verda selos recomindo yummy 😋“

“Bacari Glendale: It is a beautiful place we have always wanted to go to. We took two friends for a belated birthday dinner (and as the staff realized it was just that, they even rewarded us with a delicious birthday dessert :-). Great service, nice ambiance, and delicious food - we had the bread (could have been a bit more for the $4,50), then shared the Mac & Cheese topped up with the pear and brie pizza that was the best.“

“Excellent Lebanese restaurant! The food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was attentive, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. Highly recommend for anyone craving genuine Lebanese cuisine!“

“Forget about the rest. Try the best“

“Extensive menu with lots of options for sides, toppings and sauces. But the meat itself isn't that great. Both the chicken and lamb/beef were dry and not flavorful on their own. That's too bad because otherwise it's a pleasant venue with fast service. I won't be going back“

“Very nice meals. Good luck!“

“The food is amazing! I will definitely be going back. If you go for lunch order ahead, they make everything fresh.“

“The best of the best Israeli/Mediterranean kosher food home made and you can taste the diffrence! I cant praise them enough. Try and you won't be disappointed! Amazing!!!“

“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.“

“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“

“Always fresh and filling!“

“We just moved in the neighborhood and this place is easily my new favorite.

I got the chicken delight (summer delight with chicken) and I definitely want to try all their sandwiches.

The staff is genuinely warm and friendly too. Definitely want to come back as much as possible.“
