We stopped at this restaurant along the 118 in the San Fernando Valley to sample cuisine we hadnt had since childhood. Our Lebanese neighbors would bring us dishes from their home country such as stuffed grape leaves. And we grew up in an era/place where hunting was the norm. We shared platters of quail, chicken shawarma, rice, creamy hummus and homemade pickles. The owners were very friendly, the ambience is contemporary and bright, and the place soon became packed for lunch. Easy freeway access and ample parking the day we visited. It was fun to break the burgers and pizza lunch habit and try something different.

Went here for dinner with my family. Was greeted warmly by the owners/staff. The place was loud with people enjoying themselves with their friends/family. This is my indicator that the food will be good and I wasn’t disappointed. Like a festive family dinner should be. We ordered lamb chops and it was delicious the kids were fighting over it. Then also had their beef shawarma and meat was very good. It was tasty and flavorful (good marination). Also ordered the hummus for appetizer and it was good. The food tastes fresh and healthy. Lastly we had the honey creme dessert with pistachios, it was a mix between our group but I like it. I think we found a hidden gem. Highly recommend

Welcomed warmly into restaurant. Good and service was great! Plenty tables available when I arrived on a weekday at 5 o’clock though I did have reservations for four people. Delicious And very tender chicken kabob and rice! The pita bread was somewhat dry and hard:( The waiters were courteous and professional! Will return there again in the future :-)

Food was ok, service was nice, but portions are super small compared to any other Mediterranean place we had been to. I will get double or maybe triple the quantity at Panini Kabob for example.

Come here for the Food not the Service.Due to covid-19 they seem to be short on staff— perhaps the owner is serving.He is a great person. Unfortunately, he forgets things and is the only one serving. Hard working, but the service is bad because he has so much to do.1) I would come here for the Food not the Service.2) don’t come here if you’re short in time. It will take a while for your order; However, it’s worth the wait.3) it’s Patio service ONLY. Don’t come for lunch— the valley gets hot. And he doesn’t like to put up the umbrellas for whatever reason.(If you ask e he says its too windy— but it’s not. But very HOT during lunch! Bring a Hat!
