“I had an amazing experience. From the moment I walked in, the vibe was perfect—great atmosphere, and the playlist was on point with hits from the 90s and 2000s that brought back so many memories. The highlight of the meal was definitely the broccoli appetizer. It was incredible—crispy, flavorful, and unlike any broccoli dish I've had before. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the whole evening even better. I can't wait to go back!“

“The little plates are yummy. I love the pita bread that came with the hummus (Salatim plate). The other plates were good also. I loved the bread pudding (I think it's better than the best cake). What I like the most about Bacari, besides the beautiful ambiance, is the friendliest staff.“

“This restaurant was absolutely perfect! Loved the outdoor dining and how you could see the kitchen. My friend got their wine flight which apparently was good, and they have nonalcoholic wine! The food was delicious, we got 5 plates and dessert for 4 people. The strawberry apricot meringue tart was insane. Thank you!!!“

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

“Tucked away in an unassuming area of the city, this restaurant is truly a hidden gem. With just one incredibly talented chef running the entire operation—from cooking to serving—you will be amazed by the precision and professionalism on display. Despite managing everything alone, the chef is efficient, courteous, and goes above and beyond to ensure each guest feels welcome.

The restaurant itself is small, cute, and perfectly neat. It exudes charm with its cozy atmosphere and impeccable cleanliness, which makes the dining experience even more enjoyable. During our visit, the place was full, hosting a party of 11 alongside another table of 4 people. Yet, the chef managed to serve everyone on time without compromising the quality or presentation of the food.

We tried all the dishes on the menu, and every single one was a masterpiece—flavors that were perfectly balanced, ingredients that were fresh, and dishes presented with care. Although there are not many vegetarian options, the ones available were thoughtfully prepared and delicious.

This restaurant is a testament to the dedication and passion of its chef, who has created an unforgettable dining experience. Whether you are seeking an intimate meal or a full-course feast, this hidden gem will not disappoint. Highly recommend visiting and totally worth the drive to the area!“

“Great food . Amazing service. 100% recommended“

“From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere at Carmel felt amazing. The staff greeted us with warm smiles, and the ambient setting was just right for a relaxed evening. The open flame grill created delicious dishes that were as beautiful as they were tasty. An overall fantastic experience.“

“The creamy pasta is my favorite.“

“This restaurant has excellent choice of delicious Lebanese food, beverages and desserts. Every thing is authentically signed (961) 🇱🇧🇱🇧“

“Great spot for lunch or dinner“

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

“This sharwama restaurant is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Middle Eastern flavors. The shawarma is perfectly seasoned and juicy, wrapped in fresh bread with crisp veggies and a tangy sauce. The falafel is also fantastic—crispy outside, tender inside, and packed with flavor. Portions are generous, and the hummus is smooth and balanced. With a cozy atmosphere and friendly staff, and also offers a delightful experience at a great value. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“I really love this place. It feels like you’re walking into a special place somewhere in Europe. And it’s tucked away enough to not be super touristy and crowded. The staff always greets us with a smile, and the vibe is just perfection. The indoor area has such a cool atmosphere, and the outdoor tables are on the water. You can NOT go wrong here.“

“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.“

“Stopped in here today and glad we did. This is a very comfortable open air patio restaurant with outstanding food.

My wife had the chicken kabob plate and I had the beef plate. They were very tasty. Even the rice was very flavorful. My favorite was the beef shish kabob. It was tender with really good flavor.

The staff was friendly and helpful.

Overall a great experience!“

“I recently purchased food from here while attending a conference in the city of Los angeles. It was truly fall off the bone deliciously seasoned chicken. The chicken was tender and juicy. It was a little difficult to separate out some of the smaller Bones from the half chicken but I got through it and enjoyed that I could rend the flesh with my hands because I did not have a knife and fork (I do not mind this it made me feel cool to eat it manually). The bread was spectacular and was baked to a degree of fluffiness that I have not experienced in another bread. I got it with hummus and pickled turnips which were pretty delectable, very toothesome and vibrantly colored. The sauces I chose were the tahini and the red sauce which were both nice accents on the food. I also got a delicious mint lemonade which was the perfect amount of sweet and tart with a nice cool mint flavor.

It is so difficult nowadays to find truly authentic Middle Eastern food, oftentimes it is just a poor imitation co-opted and misappropriated by people from northern Europe who think they have a claim to the land. That's why I am so glad you have gotten food from Jerusalem Chicken where I could tell it was cooked by people truly native to the land.“

“Lud’da offers a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere with an impressive cocktail menu that stands out in the area. The drinks are expertly crafted, with unique twists on classic favorites. Bartender Ugur is a true standout—his skill and knowledge shine through in every cocktail he serves. Whether you're a cocktail connoisseur or just looking for a great place to unwind, Lud’da delivers top-notch drinks and an exceptional experience. Highly recommended!“

“Luna Grill was looking real clean when I walked in, so off to a good start. Ordered the chicken and beef kabob plate...solid portion for the price. Flavors were nice, but the beef leaned a little salty. Now, about those metal chairs… rock hard. Felt like I was sitting on a slab of concrete. A little padding wouldn’t hurt. Food was good, though, so I’d come back...just maybe seat on the booth next time.“

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

“Lamb, beef, falafel, hummus, cauliflower, etc. Fresh made bread so fluffy & soft to dip into the creamiest hummus ever. The falafel made with a perfect crunch & so moist & tasty on the inside, lamb & beef...PERFECTION! Joe, the owner, very soft spoken & humble when given a compliment. Service, EXCELLENT! I read the reviews yesterday & today we had to try it. If I had 3 thumbs 👍👍👍😉😁 Our lunch feast! Excellent!! 😋😋⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I'm at a loss for words, but I'll try my best. Food? Amazing! Perfect amount of seasoning and the portions are huge! And this is coming from a big dude. For the appetizers, my favorites were the Kashk E'bademjan (Eggplant Delight), Potato Salad, and the Hummus! They have more selections, but this is what I was able to try. I hear all are great! For the Entrees, ALL OF THEIR KABOBS ARE FIRE (MMM MMMM YUMMY). I had a sample of most them and in the islands, we would say "broke da mouf kine", which translates to, the food is *beep beep* GOOD! If you've never had Persian Food, or you love it, this is the restaurant for you! Drinks? I love Korean Soju and Cass beer, so yeah, +10 points from me. They do carry various Wines and Beers though...and of course your choice of Soda Pop. Atmosphere? It' gives you a Kewl Kids Vibe; a classy place where you can be yourself with family and friends and just enjoy each others company. You have your choice of Indoor and Outdoor dinning which is amazing. There's also a private room upstairs that can hold 20 people for a meal and karaoke (there is a fee to reserve, but very much worth it). Staff? We were greeted at the door as if we were coming home. Pasha and his staff go above and beyond to make sure all your needs are met. Their suggestions on meal and drink pairings are spot on. I can't thank Pasha and the crew for making our group outing a success. Overall? I'll be going back and I hope that you add this restaurant to your list of 'go to' places to dine at. You will not be disappointed, I promise you. (Unless your attitude stinks or you're not willing to try new food ‍) Pasha again, thank you so much for the hospitality. I already told Fatemeh that I'll be coming back again. سپاسگزارم“

“Amazing food , great ambiance and friendly staff“

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

“Dinner was superb tonight“

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

“Discovered Olive and Salt when we attended an event at the Alex Theater. Service was good, and the food was amazing. Highly recommend the loaded hummus (and appreciate that they don't stint on the pita!). I had the jewel salad with chicken added. The chicken was not the usual strips of plain baked chicken but chunks of the marinated chicken. So good!“

“todo está súper rico de verda selos recomindo yummy 😋“

“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.“

“First time there and has a good experience 👍“

“Delicious sandwiches/wraps. My group tried the bens way gyro and the chicken delight. She made the meal as fast as she could and they turned out great. The large pita and hummus wasnt available at the time, so she made the medium. The pitas and hummus were top notch. Competitive pricing for sandwiches of this quality in the area.“

“happily 😊 surprised. lunch on the run. Good Chicken!“

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

“The decor made you think you were on vacation. The food took your tastebuds to a whole other level of flavor! This place went above all my expectations. Everyone should try to visit @PalomaVenice“

“Excellent food. Really great lamb chops. Yum. And really yummy homemade desserts.“

“I saw that this place had been open not too long ago and happened to walk by it the other day and was enticed by the smell.

Today I decided to give it a try and based on the customer service alone, I will be returning!

Angel and Chris were super helpful and helping me decide what to order my first time and made some accommodations for me which I really appreciated. They really went above and beyond and it's nice to be able to have an experience like that when the media has been hammering away that quality customer service is in decline.

I'm happy to say that that is not the case here!

Looking forward to my next visit!“

“This is a grown-up restaurant where you sit down and a waiter comes and takes your order. They have the best hummus in town. The portions are good, the food well prepared and presented and the staff professional and friendly. We've only been during the day but they have a keyboardist who plays often enough to keep a piano set up and ready to play. I give the highest recommendation for food, service and atmosphere!“

“Definitely a go to place for comfort food! It was my first time to go here with my girlfriends and their happy hour is worth it! Since then I kept coming back or order delivery. My favorite is the gyro combo with some sweet potato waffle fries. Don't forget the garlic aoli sauce (thank me later ;D)“

“Always fresh and filling!“
