Middle Eastern Restaurants near Sylmar, CA

“Came on a Saturday to enjoy Mediterranean BBQ. Staff was amicable, a little slow in serving and taking orders and came to our table with someone else's order. I would highly recommend they do a number system (assign table number to customers for staff to reduce confusion). It was decent food, spices and grilled veggies were good. Chicken was a little thick and hard to cook all the way through those meats. Steak was a bit dry. Seasoned fries and hummus, Pita bread was good. Ambiance was settle, no music or noises. A little pricy but portions are good. Clean establishment. Parking can be a little tight in the parking lot.“

“You can eat the best lahmajo here. They started to make goodas well. They always give me the food warm enough at time when i order by phone. The people are so nice and you can see how clean is their restaurant. The prices are so reasonable.Recommended for you who like lahmajo!!“

“The Persian pizza is great👌 the beef koobideh kabab is even better and if you want extra healthy food, the chicken breast kebab is juicy, delicious and healthy. The owner Arbi is an amazing person and a great chef. I highly recommend this place.“

“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.“

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

“I was eyeballing this place for months, finally went and got #1 pork chops and it was just as good as I hoped. 2 big pieces of pork, well done, fluffy soft rice, the pepper & tomato were juicy (everthin just needed a little salt). It's a small place with about 10 tables inside. Lady at the front was nice, wait time is min 15min & prices are fair for the big portion. Located on the corner with parking. Will definitely be back to try the beef kabob.“

“This place is amazing! The gyro beef and lamb with hand cut french fries is phenomenal. The Boreg crispy cheese is very tasty! The Tabbuleh, hummus, eggplant Babaganoush, Muhammara, and Labni (Armenian yogurt cheese topped with dried mint, crushed aleppo peppers, and diced tomatoes) from the “sampler for two” is absolutely brilliant. The beef Lula kebab and the chicken shish kebab are excellent as well. Noah was our server and did a great job as well. The picture is of the sampler for two. We will be back!“

“i love this restaurant! went here a week ago with the whole family and couldn't help coming back again 😋. all the food that we have had is excellent, such as beef qorma, land and chicken afghani plates (chicken is best personally), mantu, ashak, and of course the bolani. it all tasted home cooked and the lady that owns the place and operates it all by herself is very very nice, making me feel at home, as if she were my own grandma. i would highly recommend for afghani food lovers and people who have never had it before. afghani food is highly underrated, one of the best cuisines out there, i would encourage anyone living in or near the valley to try this place.“

“1st time eating here , I came with one of my coworkers and all I can say the guy who helped us is very nice, prepared our dishes very fast, I had the lula kabob wrap, huge wrap btw and very delicious I couldn't finish all, just half, my coworker got the combination kabob, I'm looking forward to go again , I highly recommend this place

Parking: Is a small parking lot , plus is not parking only for magma, there are other shops“

“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.“

“The food is absolutely delicious, whether you’re enjoying an appetizer or a main course—everything is packed with flavor. The hookah is top-notch, smooth, and enjoyable. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure you have a great time. And the weekend live music adds such a fun and lively atmosphere! Highly recommend this place for a fantastic night out.“

“This place is one of our “fam fave” eateries. The food is always good. The menu is extensive. ... And it’s Kosher!“

“Extremely good food, quality/ price is totally perfect“
