Middle Eastern Restaurants near Tarzana, CA

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

“I order from Orchid often for both large catering orders and individual lunches. Kamal the owner is excellent to work with. Very warm and accommodating but also fast, responsive, and very timely. The food is always delicious and consistent in quality. He’s able to put together a large catering order with short, even same-day notice. They also do delivery and it always shows up right on time, and all catering orders are sealed in insulated boxes and packed with heat packs so the food stays warm until it’s ready to be eaten. It’s my pleasure to dine with and continue supporting a small family-owned business that delivers excellent service and amazing Persian food.

Amazing food + solid, consistent service. I recommend you stop by for a lunch shish kabob :)“

“Service is always slow and the servers are rude. It feels like you are bothering them when you ask for anything. A soda refill takes forever, unlimited salad refills are great in theory but you can never catch anyone to ask for a salad refill! When someone finally shows up, it's seems like they are doing you a favor instead of doing their job. We love the food here but don't come as often as we want to because for $175 meal we feel the service has to be better.“

“We love this restaurant! The food is amazingly delicious and the staff welcomes you as if you are family.... thankfully, during the current crisis we are able to pick up or have delivered.“

“Great and Tasty Halal Food in town.“

“I love the food is my favorite restaurant“

“I visited Orla by Michael recently. The ambience was really nice and made the experience feel elevated. The service was okay, and the food overall was good. The standout dish for me was the lamb shank hummus — really delicious and definitely worth trying.“

“Highly highly recommend. Awesome food. Great owner. Great servers. Best babaganoush ever!“

“Very impressed with Javan! Service was so helpful and friendly, especially our server Victor. The food was outstanding and so fresh. The combination of flavors in the Alex salad was absolutely outstanding. Our vegetarian Koobideh was delicious. The hummus and babaganoush were perfect. Thank you - we will be back!“

“Such an amazing place with authentic Armenian and Sryian cuisine. This place has really stepped it up. Food is incredible, one of the best in LA for middle easter, service is attentive and great. The atmosphere is nice but could be better. Hard to hear or have a conversation, could use some acoustic panels and spacing between tables.“

“This place is so great. They have the best salmon. My phone is acting up so I did not get a photo of it, but trust me, it is the best. It is a nice portion and it is cooked to perfection.\n\nThis Darya is in Santa Monica, but I consider it the West Side. It matters not. The food is amazing.\n\nWe love Persian food and often forget to go, but we have been to a few in the past month and are hooked again.\n\nDarya is just lovely. It is very comfortable and the lighting is perfect. It is clean inside and out. It has an adorable awing outside so you won't miss the place.\n\nThe service is very nice. It takes a minute to get your food, but when you do it is cooked to perfection and ever so good. There is nothing we don't like on the menu. They carry a yogurt type soda and that is just weird, but everything else is great.\n\nI love their salmon and all of their chicken dishes. Their Zereshk Polo has steamed white rice mixed with barberries and is served with the best seasoned slow-boiled chicken. We also love their lentil soup, which is something I never order elsewhere. It is just so comforting. All of their salads are great, our favorite being the Darya Salad which is a combination of Romaine lettuce, mixed greens tossed with tomatoes, cucumbers, lentils, raisins, dates, imported feta cheese, walnuts, and great olives.\n\nYou just can't go wrong here. The prices are fair for what you get and you will want to nap when done.“

“Reasonably priced and delicious food!“

“I’ve been living abroad for years, and this is the first time I’ve found an Iranian restaurant that truly feels like home. The food tasted just like real homemade meals — fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, and the restaurant’s location is super convenient and easy to reach.

I wish I lived in Los Angeles, because I would honestly eat here every single day! Their menu is quite large, and I wish I could try everything, but the portions were generous and I couldn’t finish my plate — otherwise, I would’ve definitely ordered more.

I truly wish them success, and I highly recommend everyone to visit this place!“

“Excellent Lebanese restaurant! The food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was attentive, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. Highly recommend for anyone craving genuine Lebanese cuisine!“

“The butcher/chef was really friendly he helped me make a choice about what to have them prepare for me he recommended the pork chops and it did not disappoint it was very good and I really appreciated him being kind and suggesting a food choice considering I'd never eaten there before.“

“the Best Persian restaurant....♡ it !!!“

“Service with love. The food is amazing. The owner is very kind.“

“The lamb gyros are the best things ever. 😊“

“Had a great experience at The Kebab Shop! The manager, Juan, was super helpful and welcoming—great customer service makes all the difference. I ordered the grilled chicken bowl and it was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The bathrooms were clean, which is always a plus in my book. Even though they opened a new location in Santa Clarita, this one remains top tier—the taste here is always on point. Definitely my go-to spot!“

“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.“

The staff were welcoming and attentive, and the atmosphere felt warm and authentic. You can really taste the quality and care in every dish. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!“

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

“Biggest strength: staff is friendly and nice.
Biggest weakness: long wait to get food

The restaurant was empty when I came in and it took 23 minutes to get a chicken kebab plate. A bit too long to be the only customer.

The food is good. Not great, but not bad or bland either.

The staff is very friendly and nice.

Price-wise it’s average. 24 dollars (included tax and tip) for a plate is not cheap but sadly has become the norm here in LA“

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

“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!!!“
