“The best place for an incredible night out in LA!

As soon as we parked the smell of the outdoor grill hit us. We knew we were in for something special.

We were sat immediately with a reservation, and had the best service. Mike was our waiter and was everything you want in a server and more. He was present but not overly so, he knew his wines well, and was clearly very passionate about the food. He’s service absolutely made our night!

The food was the only thing that overshadowed Mike’s excellence, every bite was divine.

We shared the hummus toast, zucchini, Japanese, sweet potato, Shishito peppers. And for mains enjoyed a chicken skewer, lamb chops, and ribeye.

The lamb was seasoned and cooked perfectly, being my best bite of the night, but the chicken skewer won the hearts of the larger group.

We finished off with their chocolate cake which was perfectly gooey in the center.

There is so much more I would come back for. The atmosphere was just spectacular! Beautiful outdoor seating area, suitable for larger groups or small tables. Good music and great vibes.

All in all I’m just upset that I didn’t come try this place sooner. Definitely going to be a staple of mine moving forward.

If you go ask for Mike (Big Chicago Bears fan). You’re in the best hands with him!“

“Getting there to be from best restaurant in LA. Tell Aviv cousin. Best vibe you have seen in LA.“

“Love this place. Always great music with a warm and welcoming atmosphere!“

“I had this placed saved on Instagram and decided to give it a try. It did not disappoint! We got the chicken kebab plate with extra pita bread. It was so delicious 😋 EVERY bite produced a happy dance. Customer service was great. The girl at the counter was very patient with us. There’s outside seating where we chose to sit and free parking on the side streets. I would’ve given them five stars but the fries were lukewarm. They were seasoned and crispy but warm. I will definitely be back and I can’t wait to eat my leftovers tomorrow.“

“Elijah and the crew at Luna Grill are wonderful and nice! The food was delicious 😋 I’m definitely coming again! Thank you😊“

“Loved this place. I went there with my friend and had incredible experience. Food was so good, we loved porkbelly skewer. My friend ordered french toast, it was awesome. Other brunch menus were nice too, cinammon roll focaccia was sooooo good-a little too sweet but it's good to have once in a while! Restaurant itself was so cute and clean, loved the vibe. The hostess lady was so nice and welcoming. We will def come back here ❣️“

The servers were good and the owner was super friendly and helpful! We had prawns, fish, lamb, cauliflowers, and the infamous Hand of Fatima. Everything was delicious, with unique flavors and beautifully presented. The sauces were so unique and flavorful, we had 3 orders of bread as we want to enjoy more of the flavors in every dish!“

“From the moment my brother and I walked in, the atmosphere felt like family — welcoming, relaxed, and genuinely warm. The food completely exceeded expectations, especially the Persian-style pizza, which absolutely blew me away with its unique flavors and perfect balance. The baklava was rich, fresh, and unforgettable, easily some of the best I’ve had. And the hookah flavors? Truly extraordinary — smooth, flavorful, and expertly prepared. This place isn’t just a restaurant, it’s an experience. I’ll definitely be coming back and bringing friends with me. Thank you Sina, Amir and Majid!“

“We enjoyed the food but as most of the fried items are cooked in the same oil, if you have an allergy issue, my wife could not eat many of the cooked items. It’s not cheap. Three people about $200 which includes gratuity. For those with no allergies, we enjoyed the food.“
