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.“

“Excellent food and service. I tried the regular as well as a few breakfast lahmajos. Special kudos for the dough - freshly baked, well cooked, crispy and chewy. No yeast, of course! The toppings were even better. The meat, cheese, seasonings. Yum!

Don't skip the dessert. I tried Baklava. So soft and balanced. No overwhelming honey or sugar taste.

I'll be back for a bigger meal !“

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

“I want to give a big shout-out to Christina at Paros Family Restaurant! As soon as I walked in, she greeted me warmly and immediately offered to help with any questions I had about the menu. She took the time to explain the differences between the various menu items, making sure I understood all my options.

Customer service like this is truly a breath of fresh air. Honestly, I haven’t even gotten my food yet (though I’m sure it will be exceptional!), but I had to give Christina her flowers right away. In this day and age, we’re often quick to criticize but too quiet when we receive great service — and Christina absolutely deserves to be recognized for the care and attention she gives to customers. Well done!“

“My aunt, daughter, and I popped into this place for lunch on our way home. The food was delicious with a good portion size. My daughter and I shared the chicken and beef combo plate and still had quite a bit to take home with us. Food has really good flavor and the owner was so nice. I’m definitely saving this place for the next time I’m driving through the area.“

“ABSOLUTE GEM. We were lucky enough to find Cafe Elegante after a long travel day. Was just dumb luck that we found it but BOY did they delivery.

The staff were unimaginably kind to our weary travelers and provided a truly memorable dinner experience. The soltani and everything else) was AMAZING.

We'll be back many many times...“

“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 was delicious. Our server was wonderful(petit Israeli lady). The music was very loud. We couldn't hear people, but it's a very casual place and it was nice to get together with family and easy to get in and out.  The homemade bread is insanely good“

“This spot is an absolute gem! The shawarma here is easily some of the best I’ve ever had perfectly seasoned, tender, and full of flavor. You can tell they take pride in their food, and it really shows in every bite. On top of that, the staff is incredibly warm and welcoming. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like family. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a casual meal or a quick bite. Highly recommend if you’re craving authentic, delicious shawarma with top-notch service!“

“The cashier was rude , I asked her if they sold carne asada fries. She pointed to the menu. I said it only says nachos. She replied " no" our Antonio's nachos are fries. How would I know that! I'm not a regular customer. And with that type of customer service surely I will not be a regular customer.“

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

“Been going here since I was in middle school

They have the friendliest staff. It's run by a lovely Armenian family

They always have great hospitality service and a smile. I also love seeing Salvadoran soda available as a fellow Salvi ??

They used to do onion rings back in the day but they're not on the menu. I wonder what happened because I used to love them

But the food here is straight up. Amazing! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but what introduced me to this place was their burgers which are just incredible. I just got one after so long and I just couldn't help but notice that it looks like the Real life version of the Krabby Patty

Love to see this place is still going strong“

“Food was amazing quality and flavor! Very fresh!Service was perfect! The ladies came out and asked how my meal was and if I needed anything more..The location was very very very clean with good seating and a clear menu...

“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.“

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

“I really like their food it is really tasty. The kabob is amazing and everything I have tried has been great. The Ajarsky was really good too and the dough was so soft. They have a really great chef or cook. I can’t wait to try more salads and bbq!“

“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
