Iced Mint Lemonade, Kefta Kababs
Ash L.

First time trying Mediterranean food! The hummus is really smooth and I loved the zucchini. The mint lemonade is a must try! I came for lunch on a Saturday and had no problem finding street parking. Also, Sam brought out these beautiful roses that he picked from his own garden. Really lovely place--it was like visiting your grandparent's house.

First time dining at Baba Ghanooj and it was amazing. Sam treated us very well and provided excellent service. It's incredibly cute inside, with privacy from the Main Street. Now let's talk about the food: Delicious! I already love Mediterranean food, but this was definitely special. We ordered the chicken and beef kebab which came with rice, hummus, and vegetables. Cooked to perfection. Definitely coming back and I highly recommend anyone who is thinking of trying this place, to go!

Veggie sandwich on sesame bread and fries and chicken kabob

I've always wanted to come here and finally made the stop today & it was so good! The people were so nice & the food & vibe were both a 10/10. Definitely coming back!

Turkish coffee and dessert

Cute and intimate environment! Delicious food and AMAZING hookah. The owner, Sam is always so kind and friendly. He really makes every customer feel special. This has become one of my favorite hookah and middle eastern food spots. The Turkish coffee is always on point too.

Hooka that dowsnt cost 50$ but taste better than all the competing restaurants (reciew from an arab that travels)

I wish i took a photo of the amazing chicken shawarma that i had Pros: - mom and pop owned (feel the vibe od that) - ambience of middle east - great place to take a date or come and do work - prices are reasonable! Place has been in business for 45 years Cons - poor ppl dont market online so traffic slowed, come enjoy before ppl start flooding place bc cost, food quality, ambience, is best in hollywood for a restaurant/hooka lounge combo

Kefta Wrap

Came to try this place out after seeing a TikTok about it and wow they weren't lying ! I ordered the kefta wrap with a salad and my partner ordered the chicken and lamb kebabs with hummus . The meat was so flavorful and the hummus too! Overall 10/10 . We sat outside and were served pretty quickly , the owner is a very sweet man . Please try the mint lemonade, it's so refreshing .

Wonderful. Quite the ambitious. I was told by Jeff next door to come try the tasty burger. I bought my ticket early for the double feature of ' Bonnie and Clyde' with 'True Romance' I informed the ticket dude, I was starving, he told me to go next door and get the tasty Swiss burger, I said, I will, I'm Deborah and your name, he said 'Jeff.' So I went next door and said 'Jeff sent me to try y'all's tasty Swiss burger.' They brought me my Burger with a tasty lemonade. What a wonderful night. Thank you Jeff.

I was working on ny laptop while drinking my tea!!

The vibe and aesthetic were great. The menu was accessed through a QR code, which was convenient…read more We booked the VIP room for a private party and were able to play our own playlist, which made the experience even better. The DJ on the main floor, however, didn't seem to be mixing much and mostly replayed the same songs after about 30 minutes. The service was spectacular. We ordered three bottles, which came with a pitcher of juice and four hookahs. You could choose to add mint flavor to the hookah or leave it out, though it still had a slight hint of mint even without it. Everyone also ordered individual drinks, which were about $25 each, and the wine bottle was $85. Anything we needed was brought to us quickly. We didn't get the private belly dancers, I guess they didn't come to work. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely come back again for a special event.

HAHAHAHAHAH Waitress…read morethought I was an idiot! We ordered 1 hookah and 2 drinks. The machine showed $180. I am like that is kinda high. I asked her if that included gratuity. She said no, I asked again are you sure she says NO. I couldn't check the machine because before she handed to me she went all the way to the tip scree that said additional tip. I was like this SHADY af. I asked for a receipt and she said printer broken. I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP. So I grabbed the machine back and put my number in to get the receipt texted to me. Low and behold 22% tip and she charged us for water when I asked for tap water. I go back to her and show her the receipt and she is like oh I don't know what that is. I have never seen that before. Pleassseeeeee What a scam artist, she probably has done that to everyone there but everyone there is on a date and no one wants to be embarassed. Well IDGAF. She offered to give cash back and not tell her boss. Honestly he probably knows. Never going back. Ive been here 8 times. EVERYONE CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS!!!

I recommend making a reservation I think this helps with avoiding a wait. There was Godzilla history everywhere making it fun to read and learn new things. It is not noisy at all. The staff is friendly and they are ready to answer any questions. We ordered ramen and it was good nothing too fancy. We had to get the Godzilla mug and the neon green drink was good.

Seeing all the posters on the wall for Toho's reign is my dream room. We opted for the Churro, which is beamed from Godzilla's belly right into your soul, as well as drinks in the ceramic Godzilla and Mothra mugs. For $25/$30, absolutely worth picking those up, especially as Godzilla's mug can emit 'smoke' via a separate dry ice compartment in his head. We skipped the sandwich, as it just looked like a Jersey Mike's sub but dyed green, and we weren't up for making our own ramen. Definitely keeping an eye on future events in the space!
