“my boyfriend and I came here for the first time and LOVED IT! I’m middle eastern and was drooooooling over the wagyu shawarma. I was on the fence about getting the hummus side and ultimately decided against it bc I wasn’t sure how much food I wanted - but then 5 minutes later the lovely man working ( I didn’t get his name but he had tunnels ) very very kindly brought out a small side of hummus for us to try and it was bomb! the fries also fantastic and only $5! i’m pretty sure they make the ketchup because it was delicious. next time i’ll be getting the full side of hummus and adding a side of hot sauce. one of my new favorite spots“

“mann i love this place! this my second day in a row! i literally come here every other week either for the atmosphere, i love the staff they always on the grind everytime i walk in, & this the only location that play all the R&B slaps 🔥 immediately a vibe! The manager my boiii! He the coolest individual with dope energy everytime he see me its always love. I come here usually to get my favorite medi-plate “salmon fillet” w/brown rice, or my other favorite salmon Alfredo pasta! They both my top tops of all time here!

“How can I say this...I love Hummus House and have for years! The food is delicious and has never disappointed. I go every chance I go to Hawthorne.“

“Dasha, help us out with our order. She has an amazing smile. We were having a bad day and as soon as we saw her with her smile, they turned around. She is very professional and served us with a lot of love and kindness. We will definitely gonna tell all our friends about this.
The manager was amazing too. The coke machine was not working and he said take one of the bottles. Do you know how I feel??? I feel like like, I will tell to a million people about how good cava is!!!!“

“Have gotten takeout from here a number of times. Never disappointed. Flavorful chicken that's nice and tender, ingredients always seem fresh.
All of the sauces are very tasty and they are very generous with them. The chicken plate and The Get Greeky bowl are, so far, my favorites. Pricing is fair compared to some other places.
Staff is friendly and attentive.“

“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“

“I love this place and come constantly. The food and service are fabulous. The staff are extremely friendly and the atmosphere is so beautiful. I really wanted to give five stars, but I just wish the owner would fix the A/C. I feel really bad that the staff have to work in such hot temperatures in the summer, especially the gentleman working the grill. Please fix it for them and I'll be happy to leave another 5-star review :)“

“Hands down, one of my favorite restaurants in LA. My husband and I visit here 2-4 times a month. All the locations are beautiful and unique, but our favorite is Sherman Oaks. It's our home local restaurant, and the entire staff knows us and takes great care of us. It was just our 17th anniversary, and the staff made us feel so special. But then again, they always make us feel special, so we just love everything about this place. Our go-to must-haves are the chicken sliders, fries, and the little gem. And to end the meal, we order vanilla lattes, the best cake and ice cream. It's simply the best!“

“Chris has been extremely trained in the Art of Customer Service. One of the most friendliest if not the friendliest experiences I've had at any Cava Store. I will definitely be coming back and letting my coworkers know to come here for healthy food and Excellent Service... Music also made it for a Good Vibe...“

“Had a wonderful brunch at Fig Restaurant! The setting overlooking the pool was beautiful and relaxing. We ordered the Fig Cobb Salad and Eggs & Steak, and both were delicious. The service was friendly and attentive as well. Make sure to ask for their steak sauce, it’s amazing! Definitely a great spot for a special brunch.“

“delicious food in a beautiful setting.“

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

“As someone born and raised in Greece,
I’m very particular about what I call authentic Greek food—and Taverna at The Mar Vista is the real thing. 🇬🇷

The food genuinely brings me back home.
The recipes have been passed down through three generations, and you can taste that tradition in every dish.
This isn’t Americanized Greek food; it’s the kind of simple, flavorful, traditional cooking I grew up with in Greece.

A special mention to Maria, the consulting chef—she is absolutely incredible.
Her passion, knowledge, and respect for authentic Greek cuisine come through beautifully in the food.

Their Sunday lunch/brunch and traditional Greek BBQ are a must—beautiful grilled meats, fresh Greek salad, tzatziki, warm pita,
and all the flavors you expect from a real Greek taverna.

The service is excellent—warm, attentive, and genuinely hospitable—and the ambience is amazing.
Sitting outside under the trees honestly gives you that relaxed Mediterranean feeling of a Sunday afternoon back in Greece.

Three generations of recipes, authentic Greek flavors, wonderful hospitality, and an atmosphere that feels like home.
The most authentic Greek experiences in Los Angeles. 🇬🇷💙“

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

“This is such a wonderful find! I was looking for something healthy and filling, and this exactly hit the spot. Jake and Josue were so friendly and took time to walked through the menu with me. 5 out of 5, if you’re looking for a healthy flavorful meal and a friendly vibe this is your spot!“

“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“

“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! :)“

“Very nice meals. Good luck!“

“great food. hands down awesome“

“Went in for some take out and service was friendly, warm, and efficient. I ordered the lemon garlic chicken and it was amazing. So tender, so flavorful, and great portions. I tried different sides and I enjoyed every single one. I have recommended to friends and family who'd love a delicious, flavorful meal with excellent service.“

“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.“

“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 coming to Z Garden for years and it never disappoints. The falafel is absolutely delicious—crunchy on the outside, tender inside, and seriously mouthwatering. The chicken shawarma plates are just as good: savory, flavorful, and always satisfying. Great Mediterranean food, generous plates, and the kind of neighborhood spot I’m always happy to come back to.“

“We had the most wonderful night here! The owners are so sweet and thoughtful and the food is out of this world! We went on a Saturday during dine LA and around 8pm a dancer came around and she was wonderful! It felt like family there and we can’t wait to go back!“

“This place is excellent! One of the best Persian restaurants in Los Angeles ! Wow! I was blown away by the great food. Service and decor was amazing as well.“

“DELICIOUS 😋HEALTHY FOOD AND VERY NICE AND FRIENDLYCUSTOMER SERVICE .“

“Had such a great time here with my cousins. We were visiting from Chicago, and it was the perfect LA experience. The food was delicious, the service was amazing, and the atmosphere made the whole visit even better. Everyone in our group loved it, and we left happy and completely satisfied.

Definitely a place I’d recommend to anyone looking for great food, great vibes, and an even better experience. We’ll definitely be back! 🙌“

“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!“

“We had a fantastic dinner here. I ordered the chicken combo plate and my wife had the beef combo plate Both were amazingly delicious - perfectly cooked, tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The service was friendly and full of good energy. Highly recommend next time you're in Sherman Oaks.“

“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.“
