I ordered the grilled chicken bowl and it was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The bathrooms were clean, which is always a plus in my book.

“I ordered the beef combo and the taste was absolutely delicious! I’ve tried many Persian restaurants before, but Olive Paper really stands out. Even the rice is completely different and cooked to perfection. The food is amazing, the restaurant is very clean, and the service is excellent. A special shout-out to the cashier — she’s very kind and professional, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend Olive Paper if you want real quality Persian food!“

“If I could give this place 10 stars I would. My husband and I love trying new places. We found this place on the hunt for the best khinkalis. We visited the actual store front first. The woman helping us could not have been more helpful, patient, and kind. I do sometimes look a bit Armenian which leads people to assume I can speak Armenian or Russian which is always a good laugh. She made excellent suggestions and gave us a very accurate timeframe of how long it would take to prepare. Since then we have ordered via UberEats 2x more and each time things were EXPERTLY packaged - literally the nicest to-go bag and perfectly portioned condiments. We were blown away. The food itself is so flavorful and the ingredients are high quality and you can tell they take pride in what they do.“

“Great food and friendly staff. Owners greet you and serve!“

“Had an amazing meal at Parkway Kebab The food was super fresh and flavorful definitely some of the best kebab I’ve had in a while. Big thanks to Erfan for the great service and hospitality. You can tell he really cares. Highly recommend if you’re craving solid Mediterranean food!“

“The food here is really delicious! Everything tastes fresh and full of flavor, and you can tell they put care into how it’s made. The people who work here are super sweet and friendly, which makes the experience even better.
The only downside is that the prices feel a bit on the higher side for a kebob stand. Still, the quality and taste definitely make it worth trying. Overall, great food and great service!“

“I don’t usually post reviews but I am was so pleased with this Cava location. We were immediately greeted upon arriving which is rare in a “fast-casual” restaurant. The manager ended up attending us and was helpful and gave us a free drink since we were unsure. Just really great service that is rare now a days.“

“11/13/25
My name is Jon and today was my first time visiting Lemonzest. Mediterranean food is my favorite and I am extremely happy that I accidentally found this location while walking by it. I was immediately greeted by the two team members who both had amazing energy that made me feel welcomed!! The music and atmosphere was perfect for anyone to relax while simply enjoying lunch or dinner. Of course, the food... mmm mmm! I am in love with how delicious the food was. The rice was light and flavorful, the chicken was very tender, and the salad was perfectly fresh. For sure Lemonzest will be my first choice when I am too lazy to cook at home.
To the team members, thank you! I will be back soon.
Jon.“

“Most delicious food you can ask for“

“Always a hit for a group meal, date night, catch up with a friend. I've had at least 3 birthday meals (brunch/dinner) between this location and West Hollywood. The flavors/execution of the food is truly top notch, and the decor and ambience is always so cute, warm, and comforting.“

“Nice food, cooperative staff“

“Good food good value and a full bar ;)“

“The Shawarmins are awesome! Very friendly and cool owners. HEY Guys! It's ME!“

“Delicious love coming here“

“First time here and it was so worth it. I got the beef steak plate steak was juicy, rice was flavorful, hummus was tasty, and the pita was soft and fresh. The mango lemonade hit the spot too. Alhamdulillah, I was really happy with everything. Definitely recommend! Plus it's halal. I will definitely be back iA.“

“My wife and I live in Tarzana, and even though we have plenty of decent Mediterranean spots nearby, we always go out of our way to eat at Mediterranean Pita Grill. The outdoor seating area offers beautiful views of the hills, which makes the experience even more enjoyable.

The food is consistently delicious and generous in portion. I usually go with the beef and chicken plate, and I’m always impressed with both the quantity and quality. The rice is cooked perfectly—not too soft, not too firm—and the meat is always tender, juicy, and full of flavor.

On top of that, the staff is generally polite and friendly. They’ve earned a forever customer in us.“

“This was the best experience I have ever had. If I was living around here and not for travel I would eat here everyday. From the hostess to the dishwashers the experience was fantastic. The dishes were so clean I could see my reflection in them, and the people god the people so nice. Never seen so much effort in the quality of niceness/dishes. Don't get me started on the food it was to good to not eat, so good you could lick that plate clean. Everyone that work there NEEDS a raise. Thank you for the experience and the time 100000/10 I would recommend“

“The place was described as a vegetable based, salad, fresh ingredients version of Chipotle's. I was taken by the acidity of the food, along with its sweetness, which made it particularly enjoyable. There was a very short line, and the menu took some time to comprehend. In terms of decor, and feel, it did have the same feel as a Chipotle's, although I think the focus on greens and salads helps differentiate its line-up of dishes. Otherwise, it was not a particularly remarkable experience but rather enjoyable to spend time with friends in the patio space outside.“

“This place is my go to place. It is honestly priced and always pretty quick no more that 15 minutes. Worst part about this place is finding parking but fret not no one in Sherman Oaks knows how to drive so park wherever cause it’ll be quick“

“I like the place, but the new skinny waiter is horrible. I chose to dine in but he brought me a to go bag without letting me know in advance only because I came 20 minutes before the close and he wanted me to get out of there as soon as possible.“

“Omg the most delicious breakfast I have ever had , mr jamshid is the kindest person, thank you always and appreciate your neatness for this wonderful restaurant“

“Food is really good, good prices, lot of food“

“One of the best 100 meals we've had. If you are traveling between Ventura and Pasadena, a great place to stop. Located in a strip mall, just off the freeway. We shared an Armenian salad and a lamb shawarma. Perfect amount of food for two people. Don't miss this place!“

“Very friendly and healthy atmosphere me and my guests had a blessed. Amazing food, beautiful hall“

“1st time eating here , I came with one of my coworkers and all I can say the guy who helped us is very nice, prepared our dishes very fast, I had the lula kabob wrap, huge wrap btw and very delicious I couldn't finish all, just half, my coworker got the combination kabob, I'm looking forward to go again , I highly recommend this place

Parking: Is a small parking lot , plus is not parking only for magma, there are other shops“

“This is one of my go-to lunch spots. Everything I've tried is absolutely delicious, and the service is amazing, they are truly kind people. Prices are very reasonable, especially for the portion size. I can't recommend Lusy's enough.“

“I only recently went into Cicek's Chicken and couldn't believe how delicious it was. The quality is consistent every time. The moutabal is to die for, and the garlic sauce hits so good with the chicken. Speaking of which, the chicken is juicy and perfect. The filet mignon is so delicious too. Just tried the baklava and WOW, didn't expect it to be as delicious as it was. I was genuinely surprised. So happy to be a semi-regular now, this place rules. Give it a shot.“

“The lunch special is a really good deal as the food is always hot and delicious. The long grain basmati rice is extremely soft and so delicious. The boneless chicken kabobs are super juicy and cooked to perfection. We also tried the ghormeh sabzi and the gheyme and they were both very good!!! one of my favorite hidden gems on the west side of the valley. The owner is very kind and sweet as the food is made with love.“
