“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.“

“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!!!!“

“I’ve always enjoyed my visits to Cava, but Lorie today made the experience extra special by genuinely getting me to laugh with her wonderful disposition. Even more impressive, as I just left the hospital and haven’t been feeling well for some time.“

“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“

“Love Chicken Maison! when I pull up at . The spicy lemon garlic chicken is so good and fresh. They always greet you with a smile and explain the menu to you. I love the music selection while i was waiting.
A whole vide. The manager Eric was very helpful and polite.“

“The breakfast / brunch menu has a good concept and good options. The merguez sandwich was good, but too oily. The fries were done well but too salty.

I wish they cooked the food with less oil and salt. Maybe I'll request that if I stop by to eat there again.“

“Bacari Sherman Oaks was the most incredible dining experience I have had in a very long time. It was more than just great food. The staff at Sherman Oaks created a complete experience with ambiance, fantastic service, and creative dishes to choose from.

The ambiance is energetic yet relaxed, and the Mediterranean-inspired small plates are incredibly creative and fun to share. Every dish we tried was outstanding. Our server, I believe her name was Mallery, was absolutely fantastic. Her warmth, enthusiasm, and attention to detail elevated an already amazing meal into something truly special.

Congratulations to the Bacari team for building something so unique. Bacari delivers an experience well beyond great food. I will enthusiastically recommend Bacari to everyone I know who visits Los Angeles, and I'll definitely be back when I'm in town.

Wishing the entire Bacari family continued success!“

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

“Great food, friendly service“

“Stopped at a random spot to plan and grab lunch! So yummy! Between lunch and the sangrias it was amazing....😍😍💕💕“

“This place has become a kind of regular thing for me and a couple of friends. We come for the food, we end up playing backgammon for hours. They're open late, the tea is good even if you only get one refill, and the koobideh here is as good as anywhere on the Westwood strip. The hookah situation is fine, nothing exceptional but it does the job. The real draw is the laid-back Persian lounge atmosphere. Feels like a neighborhood spot for people who actually live around here, not a tourist-facing version of Persian culture. I always leave full and relaxed.“

“It was fabulous. We had a lovely table overlooking the beautiful courtyard and pool. Our server, Kitty, was wonderful in every way. We started with a margarita pizza for the table, which was hot and delicious.Then I had the meatballs as an appetizer and they were SO GOOD! I had the pasta pomodoro, and it was delicious. You could tell the noodles were fresh and made in-house. My husband had the scallops and gave them a 10/10. Out friends had the burrata, short ribs and salmon, and had zero complaints. They both were very well pleased. We had the Apple galette and the pineapple cake and both were decadent and worth the calories. All in all, a wonderful evening!“

“delicious food in a beautiful setting.“

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

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

“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.“

“Truly authentic Greek. Portions generous. Price surprisingly reasonable. Feels like a real honest place.
Shd book in advance. They looked real busy the Sunday we went for lunch. Still, the service was good, our Peruvian host Kiara never missed a beat, or gentle smile.
Sunday is our preferred day to come when we are missing Greek cuisine, vis there’s the Mar Vista farmers market to enjoy too just 60 yards across road.“

“To be honest, Luna Grill was somewhere in the middle for me. I didn’t have a bad experience, but I also didn’t leave feeling particularly impressed. The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly, and the service was quick, which I always appreciate.

The food was decent and tasted fresh, but nothing really stood out. Everything was prepared well enough, yet I never had that moment where I thought, “I can’t wait to order this again.” The portions were reasonable, the ingredients seemed good quality, and the menu offers plenty of healthy options, especially if you’re looking for Mediterranean food.

What makes this a difficult review is that there wasn’t anything wrong with my visit. The meal was perfectly acceptable, and I can understand why many people enjoy this place. At the same time, with so many restaurants in Los Angeles competing for attention, it’s hard for me to say that Luna Grill would be my first choice.

Overall, it’s a solid restaurant that does a lot of things right. If you’re in the area and want a quick Mediterranean meal, it’s worth trying. My experience was neither disappointing nor memorable—just a decent meal served by friendly people in a comfortable environment.“

“Coffee was delicious! And another time wine was awesome! Michal was attending to us and he was polite and helpful!“

“An amazing dining experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail and high-quality ingredients really stood out. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic meal!“

“Great place to eat. I come here like three times a week. Cesar the manager is a great guy always helps me whatever. I need great customer service very hard-working very busy very professional. Great tasting food thank you I will continue to do business here as a happy customer!“

“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“

“great food. hands down awesome“

“I came here to celebrate an anniversary with my wife, and what an amazing dining experience. When you first enter, the decor and layout is very inviting. Once we were seated, our server had great energy. The cocktail drinks are very unique, and the tasting menu is absolutely delicious and an incredible best value. All dishes are small plates, so a 5 course dinner was perfect to share. Pro tip, get two different tasting menus so you have more items to share. The dishes are substantial enough that by dish 3 we were pretty stuffed, but every course was superior! Our server and general manager were incredibly attentive and made for a very memorable dinning experience. Thank you!“

“We were visiting from out of town and discovered this wonderful restaurant. The service, food and atmosphere were first rate. I can’t say enough good things about the kind people that run this restaurant. I will definitely come back when we are in LA again. I highly recommend the Casablanca Moroccan Kitchen!“

“Fresh, filling and delicious!“

“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.“

“I’ve only visited twice, but the food is beyond amazingly good! The dishes are well prepared, fresh, and just the right amount of seasoning. Best hummus ever. I’m someone that has a hard time finding food I like, so I always look forward to coming here. Service is always warm and friendly.“

“Cevapi is almost like eating it in Sarajevo a few years ago.“

“Extensive menu with lots of options for sides, toppings and sauces. But the meat itself isn't that great. Both the chicken and lamb/beef were dry and not flavorful on their own. That's too bad because otherwise it's a pleasant venue with fast service. I won't be going back“

“I ordered a Shawarma sandwich for my son and asked for fries inside. The lady asked the owner if he can make that. The owner sent a complimentary fries to my son. The food is good and the place is clean. As a previous Mediterranean restaurant owner I recommend this place.“

“Very nice meals. Good luck!“

“My husband is always skeptical to try new food (places) BUT this time HE JUST LOVED IT! We now love Armenian food. It was DELICIOUS and prepared fresh .Virab, was very friendly and he recommended we try the combo plate. We had the beef and lamb and the chicken and lamb Lula. Super delicious and tasty.
We will come back for sure. Highly recommended. TY Virab!“
