“My wife and I had an amazing dining experience here. The service was top-notch, and our server was extremely friendly and helpful with menu recommendations. The prices are very affordable, and the portions are generous enough to leave plenty of leftovers for the next day.
I highly recommend the falafel salad—and both the chicken and beef were tender and juicy. This is definitely going to be one of our new local favorites!“

“I love the food is my favorite restaurant“

“Food is and always has been amazing! The chicken and lamb kebobs are my absolute favorites. There was a small mishap with my latest order, but the manager, Mike, called me personally and quickly addressed and resolved the issue. Great food and great customer service!“

“This place is the absolute best. The food is so yummy. Fresh pita & hummus is amazing. The service is so friendly. If you're thinking about this place definitely try it. You will not be disappointed. I do not live locally but will drive the 50 minutes anytime for their food. We look forward to eating here as much as possible.“

“Susan is delightful, and the food is FRESH & DELICIOUS....oh, that laffa bread!!!!!!!“

“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!“

“In love with this restaurant 🤤🤤🤤“

“Our family of six came here for lunch after a funeral at Forest Lawn. We’re from out of town, so we were hoping the great reviews were true, and they were! We enjoyed the best Persian food we’ve had in years! In addition, the setting was pleasant and our server was attentive and efficient. Highly recommend!!!“

“If you haven't been to The Kebab House in Santa Clarita yet, you are missing out!
I got the chicken wrap, and it was massive—seriously loaded with vibrant, freshly grilled ingredients like pickled red cabbage, greens, and even crisp fries tucked right inside that perfectly charred wrap. Next level unique flavours I had ever experienced in a food wrap. Every bite was packed with unbelievable flavor, especially when paired with their delicious side dips and sauces.
As if the wrap wasn't enough, the truffle fries were top-tier—crispy, hot, and generously tossed with parmesan and fresh herbs. The portion sizes overall are super generous, so you definitely leave full and happy.
The atmosphere inside was welcoming and clean, and since it wasn't overly crowded when we visited, we were able to grab a table right away without any wait. Bathrooms were clean as well.
The staff were warm, friendly, and made sure our food came out steaming hot and fresh. And made it to my preference (as I requested no tomatoes in the wrap).

10/10 recommendation! I already can't wait to go back.“

“Cute and clean restraunt with wide selection of food. A bit inconsistent with the menu which was a bit confusing. Flavors for the protein were good. Could use some hummus or Taziki with the full plate instead of paying 7 to 8 dollars for a side of it. Peacan caramel was unsuspectingly good. Not too sweet and just the right amount of bite. Came in around 6 and the sun was brutal through the window. Maybe some blinds would help with just the eat in. Service was nice and helpful.“

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

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

“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“

“I'm not from the immediate area and was looking for a place to grab a quick dinner before an appointment. I happened upon Oliver Peppers and decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did. I was seriously impressed.

The chicken kabob was outstanding -- every bit on a par with what you might expect at a fancier establishment and the side salad was substantial -- not just the usual afterthought iceberg slide with a tomato.

Excellent quality, nice portion size. Definitely worth trying.“

“Jocelyn and Sal were awesome! Very accommodating and kind— a joy to interact with. I wish there was a bit more seating on hot days like this, but that’s not the restaurant’s fault, and to be fair, there’s A LOT of seating, anyway.“

“This place is truly a hidden gem in our neighborhood! The owner is wonderful, and the food is absolutely delicious. Whenever I’m exhausted and don’t have the energy to cook, their family combo set is my go-to. It comes with a delicious variety of meats and fresh vegetables, making it perfect for our family of five. It takes so much stress out of dinner while giving us a satisfying meal that everyone loves. I’m so grateful to have such an amazing local spot that makes family dinners easy, convenient, and delicious. Highly recommend!“

“Highly recommend! Cosmo Palace has easily become our go to spot. Amazing food, great atmosphere, nothing short of an amazing time. Must try“

“Halal House simply is the best for the plates! Chicken over rice and Gyro! I even got two Gyro pita wraps today. Its affordable, quick bite to heat right near CSUN. I also saw that they have burgers! Really good size and taste. This is my go to spot for halal food near Northridge, honestly.😀I“

“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!!!“

“went there today with my son...great food excellent service felt like family...I will definatelly be back!!!“

“I had the pleasure of trying out this food truck today when I was at the Northridge Farmer Market. They were parked toward the back but I been craving some Kebabs so today was the perfect time to get some. I looked at their menu first and knew I was going to go with the Beef Shish Kebab plate. I didn't have to order at the truck, one of the lady working walked out of the truck to take my other. I asked if I could sub out the hummus and they allowed me to get extra shirazi salad which is my favorite. They said it would take about ten minutes to make.

The key to eating kebab is that you have to eat it when it comes out from the grill and hot. If you eat it after it gets cold then it won't taste great. My food took about the exact time they said it would and I took it home to eat since I live close. The food is on the pricer end compared to other things but I'll say it's worth it.

The thought the Shish Kebab was kind of overcooked or it could be that when it sat in the box while I was driving home, it cooked some more. Beside that I thought my plate was delicious. The pita bread was soft, the shirazi salad was amazing and they give you a decent amount of rice with kebab. They also give you a little mint as well after you finish your food. I would come back to this truck again and maybe try another dish when I have a chance.“

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

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

“My first time going to Gyromania. Definitely the closest to NY that I’ve had. 5 stars“

“Excellent food and service.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“I've been going here for over 20 years. Great food, friendly staff. You won't believe the amazing dishes that come out of that kitchen. Don't let the name fool you, I have never had a burger here, my favorite dish... The t-bone steak. Highly recommend!“

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

“Nice food, cooperative staff“

“Had a wonderful experience at CAVA in Valencia! The food was fresh, flavorful, and delicious, but what really made our visit special was the outstanding service.

A huge shout-out to Necka and Pam for being so welcoming, helpful, and full of great energy. They gave us excellent suggestions on what to order, and their recommendations were spot-on! Their friendly attitude and genuine enthusiasm made the whole experience even better.

Great food + amazing service + great energy = a place we’ll definitely be coming back to. Thank you, Necka and Pam, for making our visit so enjoyable!“

“We had our wedding catered by Gev's Kitchen in October 2026. Gev and the rest of his team were the best and completely surpassed my expectations of what true and professional catering means. From the great staff, waiters, to the owners and the chef himself, everyone worked with us from the planning to the actual wedding day to make sure everything went by smoothly. The food... man, it's the perfect blend of Mediterranean and Armenian cuisine that tasted just like my mother's cooking. If you have dietary restrictions, they're more than willing to work with you. They offer tons of vegetarian and some vegan options too! I felt like I was transported back in time as a child in Armenia with my whole family enjoying a feast.

If you have the opportunity to stop by Gev's shop or the amazing restaurant Monna located in Montrose, please do so!
I will be coming back for the amazing catering services for all our future family celebrations.

Thank you again Gev, Sarah, and the rest of your team.

“Super friendly and fast service. I take a lot of road trips passing by the I5 and always make a quick detour here for a chicken shawarma wrap. It’s perfectly juicy and seasoned. The pickles they serve inside the wrap are so addicting! It’s also big enough to share with someone else if you’re not super hungry. An absolute gem in the middle of a grocery store!“

“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.“

“Five stars for Elite Garden Cafe! Absolutely Amazing food! They even turned down the music for my sensitive ears so I could enjoy the atmosphere. Beautiful restaurant, great service, and incredible food. Highly recommend. Lovely experience“

“We had a family get together and it was the first time I ordered from here. They were recommended by a family member. I have to tell you - they did not disappoint. The beef and chicken luleh kabobs are delicious! Everyone asked me for their number. The owners are absolutely wonderful. So kind and hospitable. I am going to order again this weekend! Thank you, Sona jan. The foods was excellent!“

“Thank you to Gyromania for all that you do for us! 🎉

We often place orders for over 40 items, and there’s never a problem. We truly appreciate your consistency, efficiency, and great service. Thank you for taking such good care of our school! Highly recommend! 😊❤️“
