“Great and Tasty Halal Food in town.“

“I order from here almost every week. Favorite pita and hummus in town. Adding the wagyu to the hummus is great, but honestly love just getting the hummus straight up. The chicken and wagyu shawarma sandwiches are good, though a bit greasier than the average shawarma spot. Overall one of my favorite spots!“

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

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

“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.“

“What a wonderful experience! I brought my family to enjoy a meal here, and it was pure joy from start to finish. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully served, every bite felt like comfort. My kids were happy, my wife couldn’t stop complimenting the hummus, and I was just grateful to see everyone smiling around the table. The staff treated us with kindness and made us feel right at home. It turned an ordinary evening into a special memory. We’ll definitely be back!“

“The Persian pizza is great👌 the beef koobideh kabab is even better and if you want extra healthy food, the chicken breast kebab is juicy, delicious and healthy. The owner Arbi is an amazing person and a great chef. I highly recommend this place.“

“First time I ordered the delivery (3rd party) from Mizlala , and despite the courier getting lost and bringing the order in 45 mins - the food was still very fresh and delicious. Next day I was craving it again and decided to visit the place in-person, and my experience was absolutely outstanding: from service to food to
atmosphere at this very cozy location. Most kind and welcoming service by Alex & (the manager, sorry i forgot your name ) . Huge portions, very fair prices, and the food is so delicious and fresh, that you can taste it was made with love ! This is my favorite spot now whenever I crave this cuisine! Thank you so so much !“

“Service was great, food selections were many, food portions was huge, food quality amazing! Outdoor seating arrangements was proper, huge screen playing selective live music songs was enjoyable. Highly recommend!“

“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 :)“

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

“The food was great Loved the lamb gyros.“

“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.“

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

“This place is a must!The food is always amazing and the service it's real good.If you're having a party and you want to impress you guest!This is the place to go!Good service,Good food,And great atmosphere!What else can you ask for?“

“Amazing upscale middle eastern fusion restaurant in LA! Beautifully designed, wonderful staff, delicious food and on Thursday and Saturday nights turns into a restaurant/bar with live DJ (practically a club party in a restaurant) with amazing vibes! They also had Valet service.“

“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“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

Thank you for the great food🙏🙏“

“It is a great place to have Beryani and kabob. :)“

“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!“
