“This place is a MUST VISIT! Incredible food, stunning patio and ambiance, and the service was out of this world. Our server, Shirel, was extremely knowledgeable and made sure we were taken care of throughout the entire experience. That is what it is at Alisa - not dinner - an experience! Beautiful wine list, amazing people, fabulous service and food. Highly recommend!“

“Just bad food. Had crab cakes, 3 salads and burger. None noteworthy. Everything else ok .“

“We stumbled upon this incredible Turkish restaurant and were so glad we did! The food was absolutely delicious..fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared—and the service was warm and welcoming. Every dish we tried was amazing. Such an unexpected gem, and we’ll definitely be back!“

“If you’re looking for delicious street food, this is the spot to hit!
You’ll find it right on the street under a black tent — just follow the smoke like it’s guiding you to a food treasure. 😄
We really enjoyed everything we tried, and the food was absolutely worth it. The only downside is the seating is very limited, so you may end up balancing your plate like a street-food pro. But honestly, that just adds to the experience!“

“Great food. Great service. Great people watching. New favorite local.“

“Good service, casual atmosphere. We had brunch. Brunch special is $20, including one brunch option (a variety of egg and other breakfast dishes) and a brunch cocktail. The regular menu was offered as well. The potatoes and tzatziki was delicious. Valet parking is $10.“

“I ordered a döner from their food truck in Hollywood, it was good but not great. Coming from Europe I know what döner supposed to look and test like. European döner is with lamb meat has a mixture of shredded lettuce and red cabbage, onions and loaded with a yogurt garlic sauce. Overall it was still good.“

“We got the Vegan Beef Tacos and they were so good we ordered some more to go. They're pricey but worth it and the Vegan menu is amazing. We were here on vacation and this was by far some of the best vegan food I've eaten. We also got the Vegan teriyaki chicken and veggies.. everything was delicious“

“Friendly, accommodating staff and great, healthy food 😊“

“5-star alert! My wife surprised me with this delicious Tunisian restaurant on Father’s Day! It was like an exotic trip to Mediterranean North Africa. 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!“

“Beautiful place, great AUTHENTIC(per my server) greek food, wonderful food, drink and decor.

A bit pricey but worthy the quality.

Definitely could benefit from AC(I went during the 104 degree heat wave)“

“I heard great things about this place and they exceed my expectations! You can order and pay on a screen or at the counter, food was fast, hot and SO GOOD! I brought two friends, we each got something different but all left satisfied. I got the half lemon and garlic chicken. The plate is HUGE could easily share with two people. I’m already looking forward to having the leftovers for lunch tomorrow.“

“Here’s what I have to say: GET THE SOURDOUGH. It went PERFECTLY with the two dishes I ordered, the blistered shishitos and the lamb, but I’m pretty damn sure it will go great with ANYTHING. Unless you happen to be gluten-phobic, in which case I feel for you. Truly. My wife can’t do gluten. Luckily, I was on my own tonight because some KCRW screening of an Oscar movie sold out before I could get in. And it was free.

NONETHELESS Esme is a wonderful gem in a series of tight cross streets filled with high carbs and beer pubs. You would be lucky and blessed to have this experience. Do it today.

EDIT: i’m digging into the pumpkin dessert and it is tremendous. The adventurous. You only live once. Seriously.“

“Such a lovely, beautiful and relaxing outdoor patio. Very good food. Best warm chocolate chip cookies ever!! We will def come back again soon.“

“just check your takeout meal is complete before you leave they forgot my pita bread huhu“

“Amazing breakfast and pastries right on the water in Marina Del Rey! Fabulous service too! Highly recommend!“

“We are blessed to have this King Mediterráneo in Torrance. The food is delicious and very generous on the portion served. When I go there, I always try to say hello to Ara or Norah. It is such a pleasure to see and talk to them, they make me feel that we are long time friends. For sure I recommend this place and give them a FIVE STAR rating. I assure you will not be disappointed. !!!!!!“

“Love the atmosphere, great place to try authentic Turkish dishes ( İskender , dolma , mercimek çorba, Lahmacun) 😋😋😋🇹🇷🧿“

“I love The Vegetarian with chicken breast � which is healthy and delicious! The staff are friendly and nice. They treat you like family �“

“It was our anniversary, as I had mentioned when making the reservation, and unfortunately, nobody even acknowledged it. It was quite disappointing and not a good feeling to have on such a special night. We also felt a bit forgotten between our appetizer and main course. By the time the main course arrived, we were both kind of over the experience, which was unfortunate. Nobody came by to check on us or ask if we wanted another drink. The atmosphere itself is beautiful, and I would recommend coming here for a regular night out, but based on our experience, I wouldn't recommend it for a special occasion.“

“My Favorite L.A. restaurant by all means. I need to feel the love one puts into their food. And this is the place I feel it the most. Delish, home-style, served with a smile in a kind, friendly way. The one place that I walk into and feels like home. Thank you for you guys“

“great food. hands down awesome“

“This is my fav CAVA location around me. Hakima and the whole staff are super helpful, kind, and patient yet quick! The perfect spot for a lunch outing or a quick lunch break. Thank you for always providing great service and delicious food. The Harissa Avocado salad is my fav! :)“

“The food was fantastic! The service was good too but at times it felt like there was too much time between when our server came by. The drinks took a long time to come out, and when they arrived on of the drinks was spilled by the server. The 4th course came out before the 3rd course. The $70 dinner sampler is a great way to try a variety of food but it's not really a great value; the portions were almost laughable. Corkage is allowed for a $35 per bottle fee.“

“I’ve been to Zankou Chicken many times, but I never really stepped out of my comfort zone to try something different.

Nava recommended the Chicken and Steak Combo, and I’m so glad he did! My family and I absolutely loved it. Nava was also very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Thank you, Nava, for the great recommendation and amazing service!“

“Absolutely fantastic food! Not a fan of Key Lime pie but something told me to get it and I'm glad I did. Amazing and light without being overpowering or too sweet! We need a place like this in Boston (hint hint-expansion!). I'm here in LA for a month and I'll definitely be back!“

“Craving for a Decaf? No, it’s dangerous to dilute my caffeine. Let’s begin this new cafe adventure.

Cravings cafe is a cozy lil cafe in West Hollywood area at the lobby of Avaco Center building. They’re known for breakfast, paninis and Mediterranean kabob plates. Similarly, they serve coffee and tea drinks.

I came to grab some breakfast sandwich and coffee drink. Food was delightful as well as the coffee. Staff were nice and competent. Prices are fair. Atmosphere was inviting. Their indoor and outdoor seats were spacious.

Overall, it’s a nice lil cafe for coffee and breakfast. I recommend it.“

“King’s Kabob is a 10/10 recommend. Best Mediterranean food in Culver City by far. As CC residents, we’ve been looking for a good small business to support and King’s is perfect. Kafta plate was delicious and appreciated the extra pita, Greek salad was amazing and the hummus was great. Wait was short and service was amazing. The Mom-and-Pop duo was so sweet and the woman went so far as to personally come out, thank us, and wish us a great day :) All in all, King’s Kabob is a great experience and we totally recommend.“

“This was my first time at Chicken Maison and it was a great experience the manager Juan was very attentive and the atmosphere was very very good the food was amazing good portions definitely want to go back again the service was impeccable.“

“Fresh, filling and delicious!“

“Great service .. delicious good . Will be back“

“Best Moroccan food I’ve had in the U.S. I’ve been looking for a place that serves truly authentic Moroccan food, and this is it. Everything was incredible, the pastilla, crevette pil pil, tagine, and msemen. Definitely coming back.“

“Very great place to eat, I just went there today the salad is so good!! 🤗❤️“
