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

“This place simply has the best pita and shawarma I have eaten in a long time. The food was so delicious I ate it all before I even thought of taking a picture for this review. The service is exceptional and the vibe is welcoming. If it was up to me this place would have a Michelin star or two. I will definitely be coming back here.“

“An absolutely wonderful dining experience at Orla by Michael Mina! Everything was exceptional, from the food and presentation to the service and overall atmosphere.

We had the lamb chops and the snapper, and both were outstanding… beautifully prepared and full of flavor. And whatever you do, save room for dessert! The Baklava Sundae was absolutely amazing and the perfect way to cap off the meal.

Orla is definitely worth a visit, and I highly recommend it!“

Service: I felt like they rolled out the red carpet for my girlfriend and I The service was extremely attentive, fast and genuinely nice people.

Food: the food was packed with flavor. Tons of delicious herbs and spices. The appetizers were addictive the meat was incredibly tender and cooked to perfection. We had the lamb kebab and the beef kabob and honestly you can't go wrong with either. The portions are very generous so expect to get plenty of food.

“Hello: With my apology to the owner and staff of Darya Restaurant in Santa Monica I wrote a bad review about 12 days ago. It was my misunderstanding to write a bad review. In fact, It is a good restaurant (5 Star) with excellent, well made, good ambiance, and delicious food and a vast array of dishes on the menu. I must say that their portions are generous in comparison to prices. I ask people to give them a try at least once and see for themselves. I think they are going to be hooked. All branches are good and the Orange county branch has a great ambiance! Thank you Ms. Darya and your staff for your efforts. I will see you again, indeed. Wish you all the best to come!

“The lunch special is a really good deal as the food is always hot and delicious. The long grain basmati rice is extremely soft and so delicious. The boneless chicken kabobs are super juicy and cooked to perfection. We also tried the ghormeh sabzi and the gheyme and they were both very good!!! one of my favorite hidden gems on the west side of the valley. The owner is very kind and sweet as the food is made with love.“

“They have by far the best Lula kabobs I’ve ever had. Don’t @ me. And it was remarkably inexpensive for what it was. Honestly when I got home and opened the take home box, my first thought was “they should have charged more” lol. 5/5 stars for the best Lula I’ve ever had“

“Food is great and service was fine. Unfortunately, the location lacks any charm. It's dark, cavernous and lacking in any charm or warmth. I love the location on West Adams, but will not return to the Sherman Oaks location unless it's for takeout. They really need to find a new space“

“A Wonderful Authentic Persian Dining Experience
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Safir in Woodland Hills, and I was very impressed with the quality and authenticity of the food. Safir offers a wonderful selection of authentic Middle Eastern and Persian dishes, and everything we ordered was delicious.
My friends and I ordered three main dishes, including Persian kabobs, chicken, and fish, along with several side dishes. Every dish was beautifully prepared, flavorful, and tasted fresh. The Persian flavors were especially authentic and reminded me of the traditional cuisine I know and love.
It was a great place to enjoy a delicious dinner with friends, and we all had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Safir to anyone looking for authentic and delicious Persian and Middle Eastern food in Woodland Hills. I will definitely be coming back!“

“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!!!“

“Today I visited another Persian restaurant in a different city, and naturally I compared it to yours. It reminded me that your restaurant truly deserves a second review.

I can’t wait to return to Los Angeles and dine at your restaurant again. Your food, quality, and hospitality are truly unforgettable.“

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

“Special thanks to Ani bakery for providing delicious byoreks for my Granada Hills Holiday Parade participants. Ani bakery is a proud sponsor for the second year in a row providing delicious byoreks.

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

“I tried the beef shawarma plate here for lunch and it was delicious. Some places the flavor shifts are you dive into the plate, but this plate had a very consistent and satisfying taste. The staff is busy. The place has a very busy vibe to it with just a few people here.“

“Consistently good food and friendly service. My husband and I have never been disappointed with anything we've had from their menu! Super delicious!!!“
