“Was driving in Sunland last night and saw this restaurant beside a gas station. After my errand, I called them and placed an order for a chicken kabob plate. Arrived early and the food came out after a little while. The plate came with your choice of two sides, a main carb, and the juiciest and perfectly cooked chicken kabobs. The serving is generous. The sides I got which are ikra and baba ganoush were also so good. It also came with pita bread. Soooo good and will definitely be back!“

The variety across the menu is impressive, from classic Mediterranean staples to thoughtfully prepared specialties that feel both authentic and elevated.

Service is attentive, warm, and genuinely knowledgeable, which makes the entire experience feel effortless and welcoming. You can tell this is a place that takes pride in what they do — from sourcing to preparation to presentation.

If you care about quality ingredients, generous portions, and consistently excellent service, Monaia is a place you’ll want to return to again and again.“

“My first time trying Mediterranean food and what can I say, the dishes were authentic and so delicious, especially the Fattoush Salad . Loved it so much. I will definitely recommend to my friends.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

The live performances were absolutely amazing, creating an energetic and joyful atmosphere throughout the night. The ambiance, service, and food were all top-notch and perfectly matched the vibe of the place.
A special thanks to Mr. Heshmat, the manager, who was present and hands-on, gracefully overseeing everything and making sure every detail was taken care of. His dedication really made a difference.
Overall, it was a memorable and beautiful night spent with friends, and I’m already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommended!“

“This place is under New Management for about three months and the new owners are super friendly. The atmosphere is great. The food is delicious. My favorite is the chicken Lula kebab wrap. If you get the plate, you can ask for hummus on the side or extra tomato sauce. In the plate, you get some Mediterranean style rice with your choice of meat on top.“

“I walked into this place just to check it out and a sweet grandmotherly woman , I think she said her name was Alicia, took such good care of me, she asked about my knowledge of Armenian food, and then gave me a variety of samples to try. Even one of the products that I was interested in where there was not any sample she was able to find a bit for me to try, which was good because I did end up purchasing a bottle of this butter preserved meat. Such hospitality. I mentioned to her a dish that I had had in Armenia, which she didn’t have at that time, but she was so sweet and told me the next time I come in she will have it ready for me.“

“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.“

“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!“
