“Our first time and we will definitely go back!!“

“I visited AVI CUE recently and was genuinely impressed by everything — from the food to the atmosphere and service. I tried the Wagyu Shawarma Sandwich, and it was next-level delicious. The beef was incredibly tender, perfectly spiced, and paired beautifully with the fresh veggies, tahini, and amba sauce in a soft, warm pita. It’s rich, flavorful, and absolutely worth the hype.“

“Incredible food and service. Our waiters name was Christian; he was personable, kind, and hospitable. The food was mouthwatering and had such unique flavors. HUGE portions and definitely comfort food as they state. Will definitely be returning to check out the new menu each month.“

“Great and Tasty Halal Food in town.“

“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 !“

“Really awesome place to get a shawarma. Big portion, quality ingredients, just very tasty overall. Highly recommend it!!!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“I went there yesterday for the first time. I got the lamb shawarma plate, and it was wonderful. I will be returning. It may seem a little pricey, but the quality of the food and the generous portions is well worth it.“

“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.“

“Very good food Fresh and healthy Owner is always there With a nice smile !“

“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.“

“Delicious! Really interesting and tasty food.“

“Great Chicken 🐔 Kabob plate.“

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

“This review is to show that tahini was added to our uber eats delivery order when we said no to tahini (spoke with the person on the phone and was told that upload pictures for proof. uber eats told me to speak to the restaurant directly). My gf loves your food but she is severely allergic to tahini. And I always specify no tahini but you guys sometime put tahini (happened again). She wont eat so we need to throw it away“

“Polecam ............. :)“

“Delicious!!!!! I want to try everything on the menu!!! Order the Adas rice, amazing!!“

“This is a wonderful halal Lebanese restaurant in LA, and I highly recommend it. We ordered many dishes, and they were all delicious. The only reason I didn't give it a five-star rating was the twenty-minute wait for a table despite there being many available.“

“This is probably my best middle east restaurant in Los Angeles. Today I prefer to eat boiled lamb with rice . I checked near me i found Yemen Kitchen. I placed an order lamb khabsa togo and some boiled vegetables and fried chicken. Food was really cooked well and delicious. I would like to eat there . They have a good taste in their foods .“

“Shaherzad is a standout spot in the heart of Westwood's Persian Square -- authentic, flavorful, and always welcoming. The food is consistently excellent, from their juicy kabobs and aromatic stews to the freshly baked bread that comes straight from the oven. You can truly taste the care and tradition in every bite.

The service is top-notch, with friendly and attentive servers who make you feel like part of the family. The location is ideal -- right by UCLA and surrounded by the rich culture of Persian Square.

One of the highlights: live Persian music with a singer every Saturday night! It's a beautiful way to enjoy the culture while dining, but make sure to book a reservation in advance, as it tends to fill up quickly.

If you're looking for an unforgettable Persian dining experience in LA, Shaherzad should be at the top of your list.“

“This used to be the falafel king in Westwood! We were so bummed out when they went out of business. We were going there for decades and missed those chips that they served so now it’s called the falafel queen and one of the employees opened it up and he had all the recipes so it’s worth the drive for sure.“

“I absolutely Love Love Love this place! If you haven’t tried it yet you are missing out big time. The pastry can’t be beat. Delicious, scrumptious, lick your fingers good, you will want one of every thing. Don’t take my word for it. Don’t wait! Run now. Go. What are you waiting for….“

“Excellent food here. Plate of raw onion and basil set out first. Our Soltani Kabob and Luleh Kabob plates were enormous. We probably should've just split one. They were both delicious. Meats were tender and flavorful. Rice was awesome. The fresh bread was warm, and great. Service was good. The restaurant is in a 3 store corner mall, so the parking is really tight (lot is shared by a liquor store, a pizza place, a bar, and the restaurant). The inside is fairly basic but nice old photographs on the wall. Highly recommend.“

“What a Great Find! First time there and Junior took time to explain the whole menu to us. He also prepared the Delicious meal! We tried the chicken kabob, Shawarama, rice, Mediterranean salad, and hummus with pita bread. Fantastic meal!!! We also watched him prepare a Wrap which was Huge. We definitely be back!!! This great little place is located in the CVS shopping center on Hollywood Way and Verdugo.“

“This is the best Mediterranean/Lebanese food in LA. I have not tried a better falafel anywhere in the world yet... Definitely 10 stars!!“

“Great foods and good portions too. 2nd time there and still delicious. 👍🥰“

“Reasonably priced and delicious food!“

“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“

“Loved this place AMAZING service with the friendliest staff and the food was delicious reminded me of real home cooking I also had the vegan options Delicious delicious and delicious“

“It’s the most place to hangout and enjoy caravans meal. Great food and excellent service Caravan restaurant is the best and awesome place“

“As a Persian American, I am so glad I found this place. It offers something I’ve been wishing for my whole life, modernized Persian food. Traditional is unbeatable, but I’ve always wondered what it would be like if people took those recipes and updated them. Azizam offers that. I came specially for the kuku sandwich and it was excellent, simple and very fresh. Same with the shallot yoghurt and Kipteh. We also tried the secanjaben spritz which if you like those flavors you will love. I really love this whole concept and would love to see more dishes! The ambience is friendly and warm. Highly recommend.“

“They have great quality products and they are very friendly“

“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.“

“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...“
