A special shoutout to Andres, who truly went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience. He was so patient, helpful, and genuinely took the time to make sure all my questions were answered.

Great food, amazing service, and such a welcoming atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! ❤“

“I love the food is my favorite restaurant“

“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...“

“My wife and I had an amazing dining experience here. The service was top-notch, and our server was extremely friendly and helpful with menu recommendations. The prices are very affordable, and the portions are generous enough to leave plenty of leftovers for the next day.
I highly recommend the falafel salad—and both the chicken and beef were tender and juicy. This is definitely going to be one of our new local favorites!“

“Food is and always has been amazing! The chicken and lamb kebobs are my absolute favorites. There was a small mishap with my latest order, but the manager, Mike, called me personally and quickly addressed and resolved the issue. Great food and great customer service!“

“The lamb gyros are the best things ever. 😊“

“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!“

“My first visit to Caffe Noor didn’t disappoint. The service was excellent and the food was so fresh and delicious. I recommend the falafel pita with roasted eggplant.“

“The Lule kabob is very juicy and tender! Full of flavor! Very friendly staff, ready to take your order. Catering services are excellent too. They are closed Sundays, but they may cater food for special events on Sundays is you ask!“

“Cute and clean restraunt with wide selection of food. A bit inconsistent with the menu which was a bit confusing. Flavors for the protein were good. Could use some hummus or Taziki with the full plate instead of paying 7 to 8 dollars for a side of it. Peacan caramel was unsuspectingly good. Not too sweet and just the right amount of bite. Came in around 6 and the sun was brutal through the window. Maybe some blinds would help with just the eat in. Service was nice and helpful.“

“Susan is delightful, and the food is FRESH & DELICIOUS....oh, that laffa bread!!!!!!!“

“Jocelyn and Sal were awesome! Very accommodating and kind— a joy to interact with. I wish there was a bit more seating on hot days like this, but that’s not the restaurant’s fault, and to be fair, there’s A LOT of seating, anyway.“

“I had my family at The Grill Stories Restaurant yesterday Feb. 28, 2026 There were 6 of us and the food was amazingly delicious we had two big family platers and extra sides , my daughter needs gluten free so she had the Mediterranean salad alone separately she said it was fantastic. The outside dining was very comfortable and cozy , it was a beautiful 85° weather . The round lady hostess and other people there were very friendly and welcoming . After we stuffed ourselves there was still plenty of food to pack and take home . Ultimately it was a great experience and with all the food it was approximately $35 per person including tax and tip, for most people it would be less because we ordered a lot of delicious food. We will return again Thank you to The Grill Stories“

“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.“

“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! 🙌“

“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“

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

“Service with love. The food is amazing. The owner is very kind.“

“Their Koobideh was great, their chicken kabab was juicy and delicious, their ghormeh sabzy was perfect. They have an awesome mix of greek yogurt which called Tzatziki. Super delicious. The owner was so friendly and nice. I recommend you to try here at least once. You will visit here more. Enjoy“

“Halal House simply is the best for the plates! Chicken over rice and Gyro! I even got two Gyro pita wraps today. Its affordable, quick bite to heat right near CSUN. I also saw that they have burgers! Really good size and taste. This is my go to spot for halal food near Northridge, honestly.😀I“

“The food is amazing! I will definitely be going back. If you go for lunch order ahead, they make everything fresh.“

“Food is great and service was fine. Unfortunately, the location lacks any charm. It's dark, cavernous and lacking in any charm or warmth. I love the location on West Adams, but will not return to the Sherman Oaks location unless it's for takeout. They really need to find a new space“

“Yes I highly recommend the food, the service, and atmosphere.“

“Beyond excellent! Anything they cook is delicious high quality, flavor(real Persian taste), stuff very friendly, clean (tables,restrooms), definitely I’ll be back, back again, again and again, price(for what the do is very affordable)“

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

“Excellent Lebanese restaurant! The food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was attentive, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. Highly recommend for anyone craving genuine Lebanese cuisine!“

“Love this place! I order out and also dine at the Sherman Oaks location. My food is always fresh and delicious. The staff is always friendly and efficient. I especially love the flavored water with cucumber and lemon added for that extra touch whether I'm picking up food or sitting down to dine.“

“Nice food, cooperative staff“

“My favorite Lebanese place in the valley. Hands down!“

“I picked up a large order of khinkali, cheese khinkali, potato vareniki and some salads. Everything was amazingly delicious. I was in Georgia last year and honestly the khinkali from Gev’s was just as good if not better than what I had there. Can’t recommend this place highly enough.“

“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 love this spot the owner has great Persian food , the kinda flavor that is so different then the rest of the Persian res in the area, I swear the owner is this older nice men the place has home made food smells so good !He makes the best horash sabzi it’s the green herbs stow it comes with a side of rice and it’s really delicious!My friend loves kabobs so he orders that and says it’s very good !All the locals of the area eat here :)So in case you are in the Woodland Hills neighborhood I recommend grabbing lunch at this placeI enjoy every time I come here it reminds meof my moms food , so thank you for this“

“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“

“Always super delicious! I really love the seasoning they use on their chicken shawarma and kabobs. Everything tastes so fresh. I usually get the greek salad, and enjoy their rice, hummus, dolma, and tabbouleh. So fortunate to have found this place.“

“Most delicious food you can ask for“

“Excellent food and service.“

“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.“

“We are frequent patrons of Plateia. I am diabetic and need to have *minor* modifications to the dish I order consistently - Jidori Chicken. The change is to have more non-starchy vegetables. Usually, this request is handled without incident, however, this request is frequently challenged by the server citing the preference of the chef. As a frequent patron of your restaurant I hope that this can be handled differently in the future.“

“I enjoyed a healthy and delicious lunch meal here. The staff was very friendly and helpful with recommendations.“

“I ordered from here tonight on Door Dash, their grilled chicken platter. I called the store because you can’t add pita online, and the guy who picked up was so kind and confirmed it comes with pita and he’d throw extra in. I always appreciate when places go over the top for their customers! Will order again soon“

“***** tasty food nice and clean place“

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

“Just fantastic. Everything was perfect: the staff, the food—just everything. Such an unassuming little place. We had the Chicken & Lulu Kebab and the Gyro Plate. Both meals were superb and really exceeded our expectations . On top of a wonderful meal, the staff really went out of their way to make us happy. We had a wonderful time and really look forward to coming back.“
