Middle Eastern Restaurants near View Park Windsor Hills, CA

“Wow. I just put my fork in to pull some chicken meat off and it was so tender the bone popped right out (even though it wasn’t my intent) and came off 100% clean. Unreal.. reminds me of the food back home. Can’t wait to try everything on the menu including the fried eggplant vegan sandwich. We got the lemon chicken, falafel, and fried cauliflower, which is more like a cauliflower steak than florets. Delicious but just an fyi.“

“Great food and cocktails!! 🍸“

“This place is DIVINE. I’d put it in the top 10 restaurants I’ve ever tried. Truly an incredible experience from the culinary aspect to the service to every attention to detail. The seating is a few tables outside, they brought us complimentary persian tea. Every meal is individually wrapped with cute, themed stickers and decor, which had a special touch. Definitely some of the best persian food I’ve ever had. I’m not a big tahchin person but you MUST get it here. The kabob plates came with salad shirazi as well. Also very affordable for the amount of food we got. Cannot wait to come back here!“

“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.“

“Always a good interaction when coming to Z Falafel. The cooks are such nice guys and always so helpful when I may ask about one of their many options on the menu. I always try to switch up my plate when I come here and not once have I had a disappointing meal from this location. Keep going hard!“

“Great and Tasty Halal Food in town.“

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

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

“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. !!!!!!“

“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!“

“Came to Carousel with a party of 9. Our table was waiting on arrival and the staff was fantastic especially given our time constraints. We let them know we had to be out the door in 90 minutes for a show and they ensured we were fed a feast with time to spare. We did the family style - Hollywood Feast which was a lot of fun. The Hollywood Feast will leave you with days of leftovers which we are now enjoying. Would recommend family style for large groups. All the food was great, everyone agreed the chicken stood out as superb, very juicy and tender. Definitely coming back.“

“I like the food Jamil n actman is the best“

“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!

“Great Chicken 🐔 Kabob plate.“

“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 !“

“I went here with a group of coworkers on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch (~12pm). Surprisingly, at that time, it wasn't busy. This is a very tiny hole-in-the-wall restaurant that isn't found on the main street of LA. Inside the restaurant is small, so they have tables outside. There is a lot of shade, so it's pleasant to sit outside. Parking, however, could be a hassle if you drive here. The tables are located on the street and near the parking lot. Meaning, it felt like a car could hit a table if it got out of control.

I ordered the combo plate (~$16 at the time of this writing). They gave us extra pita bread because our party was pretty big. Everything tasted fresh and home made. The kebabs were sizzling hot right off the grill. The salad was seasoned and crunchy. The hummus wasn't as flavorful or beany tasting, but I preferred it that way because everything else had flavor. The rice balanced any overwhelming flavor.

I'm typically picky and if I find a Mediterranean food that's good, I just stick with that and don't try anything else until someone else recommends or invites me out to eat. Having said that, I would definitely return here.

Summary:
- CLEANLINESS. Clean. They placed spill pads (almost like the one you'd find in the Boiling Crab) for our tables outside.
- COSTS. $ Affordable. $16 for a decently portioned meal. It will definitely fill you up.
- CUSTOMER SERVICE. The staff was friendly. They gave us extra pita because we had a large party.
- FOOD QUALITY. Good and perfectly balanced. Not too overwhelming on any one specific dish.
- FOOD QUANTITY. Large portion size.
- BATHROOM. I saw a one gender only bathroom near the cash register. (I didn't enter or use it, so I don't know the condition of it.)
- WAIT TIME. About 10-15 minutes total for our group of 6 people to get everything.“

“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 .“

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

“We randomly ended up to this restaurant: small, but pleasant, the type of place where you can talk with your friends. Party of three, we had the fish carpaccio, the octopus, and the burger (gourmet burger!). Everything was prepared to perfection. They will definitely see us again.“

“Amazing food. Great family run business. It’s just like eating a home cooked meal every time. The family is one of the nicest you will meet. Been coming here for a lot of years and the food is consistently great. Also, they do catering for any sized parties.“

“We tried the beef tongue sandwich with crushed green olive, and it was fantastic. The beef tongue was tender and flavorful, and the crushed green olives added a really nice fresh, slightly briny touch that made the sandwich feel unique and well balanced. Every bite tasted fresh and satisfying.

The vibe of the place is great, and the owners are super friendly, which makes the whole experience feel even more welcoming. It’s the kind of spot where you feel comfortable right away. The only downside was the parking, which can be a bit tricky around the area. Still, the great food and warm atmosphere definitely make it worth the visit.“

“I hear many time about this restaurant but I’m living in San Diego. I was travelling to Los Angeles and they come to Westwood to this restaurant with 4 of my friend. total of 5 we otder kobide barg chicken everything was delicious and the service was excellent. we will be back.“

“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.“

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

“Everything is perfect , me and my family love the food it’s so yummy , Thank you.“

“Clean, fresh and flavorful food - Cornish hen kabob plate and tabouli salad- was quite a nice surprise and delightful experience nestled in the heart of the Garment district.“

“Food was delicious , menu had so much to choose from“

“Wonderful Vegan Palestinian Dinning Exprience with Chef Summer We were transported to Middle East, while sitting in the Majlis , the Vibrantly decorated Traditional sitting area, where your served In a style that feels like your being feed by family in their home. Which the Permited kitchen actually is the chefs home adding the extra layer of hospitality, unlike anything else . The from Scratch Dinner experience offered a variety of different cultural foods from Palestine, Summer shared stories with us about her culture , history, and her upbringing. Making the Food so much more special, knowing that is made with love and it's her form of resistance against oppression that she offers to the world . 20% of the proceeds are donated to Palestinian families, who are experiencing extreme hardships due to the Ongoing G3n!cide in Her Homeland. Thank you Chef summer, for welcoming us into your home and feeding us .“

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

“This place is my new favorite food in central LA! The food tasted so fresh and looked exactly like the photos, if not better. My daughter and I went prom dress shopping and stopped here for a bite, she does not even like middle Easter food and told me she loved this food. The service was amazing too!“

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

“I really enjoy eating here on my lunch whenever I have a little extra time. Not the biggest selection but the meat is delicious. Favorite well always be the chicken Lula.
Quick healthy eat to get me through the rest of my shift. Way better then the cliche burgers and fries“

“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“

“I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned — especially the hummus and the grilled meats. The staff were welcoming and attentive, and the atmosphere felt warm and authentic. You can really taste the quality and care in every dish. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!“

“Their feta alone gets 5-stars itself. Everything else is beyond exceptional as well.

Food - got the Grilled Chicken Souvlaki sandwich and Steak Fries. Their portions are fairly large, so I was able to take some home and enjoy it again. As mentioned, their feta is amazing. The souvlaki sandwich was PACKED with a bunch of meat and vegetables, so wasn't able to really eat as a sandwich, but that didn't bother me at all. The grilled chicken was cooked perfectly. Their steak fries were delicious as well!

Service - Super friendly, accommodating, and just a dang delight. So respectful and professional.

Ambiance - A very cute spot where you order your food first then take a seat in their small and very intimate dining area. But really cool that your food is being prepared on the other side of the wall.

I get why my sister loves this place and the diners inside looks very satisfied as well. Can't wait to find myself near another location so I can have it again.“

“The food is great, we order it often! But the delivery guys ALWAYS REFUSES to come bring our food to our office. Why are we tipping for delivery to not be done properly? It’s so annoying I’ve called the restaurant to bring it up but he literally always makes us go downstairs.“

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

“delicious food in a beautiful setting.“

“The Rotisserie chicken was amazing!! I give it a 10! The spicy coleslaw was really good as well! Glad we decided to order for dinner. Yum! 🙂“

“This place is the bomb!

Healthy good wholesome Mediterranean food

We had a cashier server named Tiani. She was so kind to my wife and I, gave us sincere service with a smile and checked on us after we started the grub fest just because.

She also gave us recommendations and insight on the differences between the spices for the chicken

It was A1 customer service so Thank You CM and Tiani!!

Not only is the food delicious, but they had tunes playing at lunch time, classics from Prince to other ones I can’t even name, nice and steady.“

“I give this beef shawarma wrap a 10/10! The flavor was incredible — perfectly seasoned, juicy, and wrapped up fresh. Every bite was so good. The location itself is really nice and in a great spot, although parking can be a little tight. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place and will for sure be coming back!“

“I love this place! They are new and hit just the bar spot this area has been needing.“

“Delicious food and quite healthy too…“
