After dinner i ordered one more to go, to try my mom.
Thank you for delicious food 🙏🏻👍🏻“

“I ordered a couple of times to go, which, everyone will agree can go wrong on many levels.
I can say I finally found a place I enjoy eating even the rice from, the flavors are great, seasoning is amazing, portions are generous.
Please, don’t change anything, only improve.
Thank you for the great food🙏🙏“

“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.“

“Nice patio, feels like you are somewhere in Europe“

“The food and service was excellent and it also has good hookah!“

“On 12-3-2025 I had a pick up order. In my mind I thought my order was for 10:30am. Francisco with a nice smile let me know that it was for 11:30pm so it could be nice a hot for my 12pm luncheon. I didn’t agree, however Francisco respectfully showed my purchase sale slip and there it was the time 11:30am. Francisco and his chef made accommodations to have my ‘Family pack’ ready by 11:00am. 😊
Francisco professionally, patiently, listened respectfully and with kindness explained in detail what vegan options they had. Francisco knew in detail how the food I inquired about was prepared.
Everything I ordered was packed great, it was fhot , looked delicious and smelled delicious and it was delicious. ♥️
My friends enjoyed all the was prepared and told their friends. I am grateful that The Kebab Shop had VEGAN options.♥️
Thank you for having Francisco on your team and your chef/ sous chef’s.
Excellent service keeps customers coming back!!!“

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

“Absolutely loved our experience at Oliver Pepper! I ordered the shawarma and my boyfriend got the chicken kebab plate—both were incredibly delicious, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. You can truly taste the quality and care put into the food.

The environment was welcoming and comfortable, but what really made the experience special was interacting with the owner and his family. They were so kind, genuine, and made us feel right at home.

Amazing food, great atmosphere, and even better hospitality. We’ll definitely be back!

If you want it shorter or more casual, I can tweak the tone too 😊“

“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!!!“

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

“Great food and friendly staff. Owners greet you and serve!“

“Yes I highly recommend the food, the service, and atmosphere.“

“The food here is really delicious! Everything tastes fresh and full of flavor, and you can tell they put care into how it’s made. The people who work here are super sweet and friendly, which makes the experience even better.
The only downside is that the prices feel a bit on the higher side for a kebob stand. Still, the quality and taste definitely make it worth trying. Overall, great food and great service!“

“After the 4th restaurant in Tujunga failed to make good Shawarma, I thought I would have to drive all the way to Glendale for the only good Shawarma I know, that I get from a food truck. I didn't know Shawarma House existed until today. The dine in place is nice and spacious, the service was kind, and for the first time in Tujunga that I know of, this a restaurant that didn't serve dry wraps with no garnishes.“

“Delicious dishes! Everything is recommended! But if you twist my arm, I'd say try the beef or chicken shawarma sandwich.“

“Nice food, cooperative staff“

“Next time I will get both BEEF. The most delicious 20 minute-ready food in the area. Even the chicken was juicy and flavored to perfection. $24 for Double plate, so worth it.
This small resultant will open a bigger restaurant in the future, you can tell the owner is on the way to success/franchise restaurants.
Order ahead options available

It’s inside the Valley Marketplace, look at the photos before you get lost.“

“Food is Laways great here. Especially the Xinkali. I've had it many times and its always on Point. Just recently tried the xash and it was awesome. Everything is a bit on the pricy side but then again quality costs. I just wish they cost a little less then maybe we can use them more often then not.“

“Most delicious food you can ask for“

“Delicious love coming here“

“The Shawarmins are awesome! Very friendly and cool owners. HEY Guys! It's ME!“

“This spot is one of my go-tos when I want something quick but still really good. Everything tastes fresh, portions are solid, and the setup makes it easy to get exactly what you want. Jay stood out with his service—he was welcoming, patient, and just made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. It’s always nice when someone like Jay makes you feel appreciated as a customer. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to.“

“Best burgers in LA... come here at least once a month“

“Omg the most delicious breakfast I have ever had , mr jamshid is the kindest person, thank you always and appreciate your neatness for this wonderful restaurant“

“Order the pork chops and tell them to burn them. Absolutely delicious. Burn the tomato too! Be sure to get the sauce for the rice. Salad is fresh and very tasty. Overall, this has been a family favorite for years. You can go casual on attire.“

“Just fantastic. Everything was perfect: the staff, the food—just everything. Such an unassuming little place. We had the Chicken & Lulu Kebab and the Gyro Plate. Both meals were superb and really exceeded our expectations . On top of a wonderful meal, the staff really went out of their way to make us happy. We had a wonderful time and really look forward to coming back.“

“We don’t celebrate a single holiday dinner without AV Grill. The food is always fresh, perfectly grilled, and full of amazing flavor. Our guests love it every time. AV Grill has become our go-to for every special occasion. Highly recommend!
Thank you Arthur and Verab!“

“Went with for a family member's early b-day, and the food was awesome -- everything was very flavorful and rich. Beautiful interior and exterior space and occasional live music (great music by the way). I think they may have overcharged me on the alcohol -- but the great food, music, hospitality, and atmosphere make up for it.“

“Food is really good, good prices, lot of food“

“Wonderful, fresh and yummy meat, and great veggies (potatoes and eggplant). All was well packaged and arrived safely.They delivered to our house which was super convenient as well and included yogurt/cucumber drinks. Overall, great service and nice folks! We'll happily order again!“

“I only recently went into Cicek's Chicken and couldn't believe how delicious it was. The quality is consistent every time. The moutabal is to die for, and the garlic sauce hits so good with the chicken. Speaking of which, the chicken is juicy and perfect. The filet mignon is so delicious too. Just tried the baklava and WOW, didn't expect it to be as delicious as it was. I was genuinely surprised. So happy to be a semi-regular now, this place rules. Give it a shot.“

“Down to earth vibe, like an old school kitchen. No menu, just whatever the chef is making. All items are simple, clean, and wholesome. Menu changes daily, with fresh ingredients. Their tahini sauce is fire. 5/5 would return. $15 ayce win/win/win“

“Super tasty & halal 👌 highly recommended!“

Some of the most authentic and delicious Armenian food I've had in awhile. I will definitely be back with guests.“

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