    Visited for the second time for a weekday lunch. Everything was delicious as usual with wonderful service. Their burek is one of the best things I've tasted! Full of wonderfully season ground beef. Excited to try their spinach burek next time.

    Cevapi, Grilled Peppers, and Baklava

    3 things you will experience when eating here: 1. Excellent service - staff was patient and friendly. 2. Freshest food - you taste the freshness and quality. 3. Best coffee you've ever tasted: Turkish coffee is like an espresso without any bitterness at all - AT ALL- A MUST TRY I recommend getting the grilled peppers, Cevapi, Baklava, and Turkish coffee.

    Best food in Los Angeles if you like Turkish influenced food or grew up in Balkans area of South Eastern Europe. Balkan Burger (Chevapi) headlines the show and Sarma (minced meat wrapped in cabbage) is the next star. They also have Greek souvlaki (if Im not mistaken) and make regular, American style sandwiches and salads. All in all, good place for a family lunch or dinner.

    Aroma Cafe, a Mediterranean restaurant and cafe, is a hidden gem that offers a delightful culinary experience. From the moment I walked in, I was charmed by the cozy and inviting atmosphere. The decor is warm and elegant, with comfortable seating and a welcoming vibe. I decided to try their cafe mocha and cappuccino, and both exceeded my expectations. The cafe mocha was rich and creamy, with the perfect balance of coffee and chocolate flavors. It was a comforting and indulgent treat. The cappuccino, on the other hand, was expertly crafted with a smooth, velvety texture and a robust coffee flavor that was simply delightful. But the highlight of my visit was the Spinach Pita. This dish was an absolute revelation. The pita bread was fresh and perfectly baked, while the spinach filling was seasoned to perfection, with a wonderful blend of herbs and spices. It was light yet satisfying, and every bite was a burst of Mediterranean flavors. Staff was pretty sweet too to hell us and suggest menu

    Grilled Veggies
    Shanelle S.

    Bosnian restaurant with homey vibes. Came here for dinner with a friend as we wanted to try something different, and I've had this place bookmarked. We split a plate of grilled veggies (the full size is good for two) and the combo plate. We opted for the mix of 10 cevapi, 1 beef patty, and 2 shish kebabs but you can also get 30 cevapi instead. The cevapi were these little rolls of beef and were absolutely delicious; those were my fave. We had a side of warm pita bread to accompany the meat, and it was a great hearty combo. For dessert, we split a tufahiya because it sounded cool. It's essentially a peeled apple with a walnut paste inside and a light syrup outside of it. It's not too sweet (the walnut paste was not seeet at all) and it was interesting to look it. The waitress was nice and there seemed to be a lot of locals that go here. There's a small free parking lot in the front. Credit cards are accepted.

    Aroma is a nice, cozy Cafe on Overland just south of Pico in a small shopping center. The server was very professional and attentive. The turkish coffee was excellent. Later hours until 10pm Recommended.

    Homemade Pita
    Cici G.

    We are almost done with our ABC Foodtrip. Yesterday was Y for Yugoslavian food! We got here just after they opened and were seated immediately. The place filled up by noon. There was only one girl serving everyone inside and outside, so it did take a little while to get help, but she was doing a good job (considering). 5/5 - Turkish Coffee: Excellent 4/5 - Grilled Peppers: Marinated in garlic and olive oil. Really good. 4/5 - Ground Beef / Potato Burek: Balkan pastry filled with ground beef and potatoes 3/5 - Homemade Pita Bread 3/5 - Chicken Kebab Plate: Chicken, rice and salad. Pretty standard. Lots of cucumbers, which was appreciated. 3/5 - Cherry Pie: They call it cherry pie, but it's really more of a strudel 3/5 - Bosanski Lonac: Traditional slow cooked vegetable and chunky beef stew. Pretty good. 3/5 - Tufahiya: Bosnian dessert made of walnut-stuffed apples poached in sugar water. 3/5 - Cevapi Specialty: Ground beef kebabs served on homemade pita bread. Comes with onions on the side. We got 1 large and 1 small. The small is a good size (it's actually half of the large). The large was huge and I had to take 1/2 home! It's pretty good, but it's just meat and bread, so it eats a bit dry. The food came out to 3.4 stars. The service was pleasant, but not attentive enough to raise the review to 4 stars.

    Cevapi

    Very tasty food. Excellent service. Easy street parking or plaza parking. Cozy atmosphere. The cherry pie tasted so heavenly. Will be back!

    Turkish Coffee, Cherry strudel. Delish

The duck hummus, shawarma neck, and tuna kibbeh were all standout dishes. Why overpay at places like Raffi's Place, where the food feels overpriced without showing where the extra money went? Here, you can actually see the quality, creativity, and presentation that justify the price, and the packed dining room proves it. The only downside was that the waitress pushed an appetizer on us twice when we really didn't need it. Two entrées are more than enough to fill you up. Also, because the restaurant stays so busy, don't expect much small talk with the staff. It's very efficient and businesslike, but your food arrives quickly and on time.

The restaurant has a really homey feeling inside, with about four small tables that make it feel cozy and welcoming. It's the kind of place where you immediately feel comfortable.

The plate also came with hummus and pita, which were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The hummus was smooth, rich, and perfect with the warm pita. Hermon helped recommend our food, cooked it, and even served us. She was so kind and made the whole experience feel really personal. She also offered us complimentary baklava, which was amazing. It had the most soft, chewy texture with just enough sweetness. When I asked her what the secret ingredient was, she just smiled and said she couldn't spoil it so you'll have to try it for yourself! Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

The soltani kabob was to die for; the flavors in the beef barg and koobideh were so rich and cooked to perfection. The mastery of these dishes was absolutely on display. The mast moosir was a great creamy and savory side dish to complement the entrees. I HAD to get the tahdig (crispy rice) too! I also had a bit of the lamb shank which was really flavorful, tender, and paired perfectly with the baghali polo. The yogurt soda was a bit of an acquired taste for me, but I'm happy to have tried it for the full experience. We finished off our delicious meal with a floral and sweet Persian ice cream wafer sandwich. The portions were enormous, so we left feeling full with leftovers to look forward to! We came on a lively weekday evening. They don't do reservations, but we were warmly greeted and quickly seated with lavash and butter on our table immediately. The restaurant has a beautiful and romantic atmosphere, with hybrid indoor/outdoor courtyard dining. Our waiter was attentive and made us feel very welcomed. I'd give this restaurant more than 5 stars if I could!
