The food is so bland! I ordered the combination plate and it was the most bland food I have eaten. I was excited to find Mediterranean food near my job but this was a let down. I will say that the service was friendly and quick. read more

Bob's Cafe - 3. Combination Plate - Greek Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Small location. Food is of good quality and you receive great customer service. Would definitely recommend if you are in the neighborhood!

My 2nd time @ Bobs was much. More savory Than the initial visit. Simply put, the overcooked over grilled , was rectified! I personally had a pleasant dialogue with Big Bob . I'm not sure if that's his first name? I mentioned the tough bird, from '23 & he assured me it would be done right this time. The chicken skewers combo plate also includes rice & huge portion of salad The chicken was still tender at room temperature There's a stealthy bathroom in the building ask Bob for directions. Great lunch before my Doctor visit. read more

Horrible food. They put steak with rice and humans/pita on display. They actually give you chuck beef with no humus or pita, that would be 6 bucks more please.would not refund money even though they are obviously hustling few extra bucks. Problem is every business is hustling the public 5 bucks at a time......... read more

Bob's Cafe - Be careful the plates in no way represent what u get. If u want what u see they will charge you 5-10 fee - Greek Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I needed some warm food, I entered this place to have some good / no gimmick delicious meal. Their combination plate with 2 different kind of kabobs (chicken & beef skewers) was very warm and delicious I chose hummus & rice as side (they also have Green salad) and overall it tasted very good. Good portion, very healing warm meal. I rarely drink soda & The Dr Pepper Creamsoda flavor was a first for me, surprisingly very good. I have yet to try their falafel, but it looked very good I'm getting it next time. The staffs are always very very kind and friendly. Thank you so much ! read more

This place was close to the office I was working at so I decided to grab lunch here on more than one occasion, I had also gotten good reviews from my colleagues so I just had to! The first time I ordered I was able to call ahead of time and pick up. On my way out I noticed they had calypso drinks (iykyk) and I instantly regretted not looking at their drink menu when I placed my order. But my chicken wrap was great! I also ordered the tabbouleh which has a kick of spice to it! The next time I went I went with two work colleagues and we were able to get a table outside. It's a bit noisy out there with the street traffic but that's expected being right off of a main Blvd. That time I ordered the beef plate and it was also great. If I'm ever in ktown for work again, I will be eating here for lunch. read more

i did not know i could get mediterranean food in ktown!!!! i ordered takeout and the food was ready really quickly. the lady making my smoothie seems to own the place and she was so sweet. the feel of the restaurant was like a neighborhood cafe for bites and coffee. since i'm vegan, i ordered the falafel plate and mango orange smoothie. the falafel plate comes with a full box of food - very tasty at a great price. i'm already excited to go back and try their tabbouleh salad :) thank you bob's for an amazing start to my dayb read more

Forgot to take the picture but, food was great! Was suddenly craving for hummus so walked down the street from my office to pick up just hummus with pita bread.... and I ended ordering chicken wrap with side of hummus... superb choice! Fresh veggies and nicely grilled chicken wrapped in pita bread, it was so large I couldn't finish. And hummus.. so smooth and perfect taste of garlic. I'm full and satisfied. read more

I walked to this place because I read a review that it is a nice quiet place for coffee and breakfast. That it is. The lady spoke to me in Spanish right off the bat and I get it..I do look Hispanic. I ordered a ham and cheese croissant with small coffee ($8.50) which was one of their specials this morning, plus one small fresh orange juice. My total for the order was $16.43 plus a $2.46 tip and there was no table service. So total was 18.89 because the fresh OJ was $6.50! The food was ok with sandwich on the saltier side. I did enjoy the peace although the place had a steady walk in clientelle while I was there on a Friday at 9:30am. So..I finished my breakfast, returned my plastic sandwich basket and politely asked for a refill for my coffee. The lady says "Sorry but you have to pay $2.50." This was ridiculous. It was regular coffee that came out of a pumped thermos! I found that policy unacceptable. At least one refill shld be allowed but that's just me. If this place blew my socks off, I wouldn't have minded that. Needless to say, I will not be back and they can stick their coffee beans you know where. read more

Bob's Cafe - 1. Chicken Kabob Plate Rice and Salad - Greek Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Just tried the Beef Kabob plate today. The meat is a little on the fried side, but it's not thing that can't be fixed with some butter and salt. The rice is a bit on the mushy side, so if you are picky about your rice-- I recommend asking for a substitute or get a lot of salad and dressing. For $11, I would consider the portion of the beef kabob fair. Alternatively, you can order a side of Hummus & pita to make your own pita sandwich as well!. Service is friendly and the cashier and cooks remembered me which made me happy. read more

Bob's Cafe - Combination plate with hummus - Greek Near Me - Los Angeles, California

If you want somewhere homey or a calm spot to go and eat with a loved one, this is the place to go. The service was impeccable. Z is such a kind and thoughtful person and even let us try the coffee on the house. The food was really good and I personally love their smoothies with no sugar! Perfect breakfast and lunch spot, and if you are from NY it is like a mini bodega! read more

I used to work across the street, and Bob's would be my go to place for a bowl of lentil soup and a plate of hummus. Recently I took my family, and they all agreed that the hummus is some of the best we have eaten. The lentil soup is also excellent. When I want to go meatless for a meal, I order from Bob' Cafe. The family that runs the place is friendly, and the food is good. What more could one want? read more

I tried to give this place another chance. The food is good. The service is suspect. A small arrogant man (employee ?) likes hanging out/sleeping in the back. He is not helpful at all, he is arrogant and drives people away. Never going back. read more

Delicious, no frills hole-in-the-wall! Server was really friendly and made all our food to-order. Everything was so tasty and fresh, though you wouldn't expect it just from looking at the place. The pita bread deserves a special shout out because it tasted so good on its own, and it was perfectly rolled out (pita bread isn't supposed to be thick, folks). Ask for extra garlic sauce because that stuff is BOMB. Our least favorite item was the falafel, which was a little airy and chalky, and missing the bite you get from more coarsely ground chickpeas + that herby punch that makes falafel so moreish. Overall though, we really enjoyed our meal and thought it tasted better than other pricier Mediterranean establishments we've been to. There is also free parking in the back. The next time you are on Wilshire, skip the chain restaurants and give this place a chance -- you'll be glad you did. read more

Perfect lunch for us busy gurls-on-the-go. Great food for the price. The falafel is amazing and the portions are chic. I can't explain it but it gives New York vibes. Very chic. read more

another instance where i wish i could issue half stars..... this place is good.... but the only thing that really stood out to me was a) the falafel.... and b) the courtesy of the staff! SUPER NICE!!!! falafel seems to be one of those things that's rarely mediocre.... it's either fuhl- AWFUL..... or in this case fuhl-wonderful!!! it would be a good reason to visit. the consistency was lighter than most. almost fluffy if you will, and it had excellent flavor! two very enthusiastic thumbs up, would recommend. (hubs doesn't eat mediterranean so you only get my opinion on this one, folks!! read more

Stopped by because it was next to my chiropractor. The meat was soooo tough, had no flavor, and the whole meal was just dry. The worker was so kind I didn't want to complain, I probably won't be back. read more

Bob's Cafe - dry, tough, flavorless - Greek Near Me - Los Angeles, California

First of all this was the best customer service from a local café. Got the fish wrap which was cooked to perfection. Highly seasoned to perfection with a fresh croissants toasted. Today's been a great day highly recommend to come here or if you're in the area looking for a quick or hefty bite read more

The only reason I'm giving a review is because I loved their customer service! I had an appointment at the vet and saw this place near by, they have dine in option during COVID 19 and some out door sitting, I would never dine in if there was people around but I was the only customer so decided to stay and eat there, whoever the lentil soup was a little water down? I'm used to thick lentil soup, still good tho, tasted healthy. I saw a review that said the rice wasn't middle eastern rice and lmao that's true I got a chicken and beef combo and the rice looks like Latin style rice lolllll food was alright. read more

I'm digging the Lentil Soup! (served with a side of pita bread). Generous amount of lentils inside. The soup has a lil spicy kick, but still edible for my sensitive throat. Warmed up my freezing soul, great for eating on a cold and rainy day :) Small Cup $3 & Large Cup $4.50. I also got the Combo Plate $8.50 (Beef & Chicken kabobs). The beef is a bit spicier, but definitely a favorite! It's plump and juicy. The chicken was pretty good, but a lil dry. The rice - generous amount, so plump and fluffy too! The salad was tasty and fresh! Served with a side of either Caesar or ranch dressing. I would definitely get these again! A healthy and tasty lunch! :) read more

I've been wanting to try this location for months now, every time i come It is closed. Today I was near the area and showed up at 3:30. The gentleman told me we are closed now. I looked at my watch and said it's only 3:30 I've been wanting to support your location for months now and it's always closed. He simply replied, the cook left I don't know what to tell you. I WILL NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS! read more

This is an amazing Mom & Pop restaurant in Koreatown. Open for Breakfast and Lunch. The people here are always friendly and offer top notch service. the Lentil Soup is homemade and I could eat it every day! I would recommend this place to anyone and look forward to eating here often. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating and a comfortable relaxed atmosphere. read more

Food always comes hot and fresh! Great staff! Awesome prices. I've tried almost every item on the menu. Never disappointed!

This. Was. Delicious. Like many others, I cannot believe I pass by this place so frequently yet only recently stepped foot into the humble local spot. Bob's Café seems geared towards luncheons, but should you decide on a quick Mediterranean dinner with outside patio seating, this should be on your list of options. The inside is an old café style (simple with no frills) consisting of combo plates showcased in the glass below and a full menu listed on the wall. Most items range $9-15. The service is straightforward and kind. You order + pay upfront and they will either call you or bring the food to your table. There are a few tables inside and on the patio that lines Wilshire Blvd. My one but best eat: - Combo plate ~$11 with tax: Very flavorful and tender beef kabob + chicken kabob served on a bed of salad and side of hummus with pita and rice. Seriously yum with the perfect flavor combination. There's no "interesting ambience", hipster drink jars, or even reusable plates (food was served on Styrofoam plates accompanied by plastic silverware); so the food speaks for itself when I say, "I'll be baaaack". Of note: primarily street parking; no private lot as far as I could tell. read more

I am so upset that I walked past this place for over 4 years, but never stopped in until my last 3 days in the area. I, of course, went all 3 days for lunch. I thought it was a normal pastry and coffee cafe as its name suggests and all you can see from walking by are croissants in the glass case. However - this place has the best falafel wrap I have ever had and it's inexpensive. I'm sure the rest of their food is delicious. I wish I knew sooner. read more

So bummed. The reviews were all great but whatever I got was def not... got two combination plates and some falafel. Everything was extremely dry, there was no hummus or pita... and the sauce to dip the 'falafel' in was basically water. Not really sure what their falafel is but it tasted more like a cornbread ball. The service was decent and no issues there, just the food quality and having no hummus or pita at all... with everything being dry. read more

I want to really root for this place and give it 4 or 5 stars because the food is actually pretty good but however, i am unable to. The staff here has got to be the most inconsistent and laziest staff in any establishment ever. It clearly says on Yelp that they open at 9:00am for breakfast but on 5 separate occasion (both weekday and weekend), i have come here around 9:05am to 9:30am and they weren't even open. I even came one time in the morning and there was staff inside and they ignored me! Like I said, i'm really rooting for this place since it's a local spot but they've consistently let me down. Either change your hours of operation or hire better staff. read more

Okay, I looked up bobs cafe after yelp-ing, which I'm going to just stop. This place makes me cringe. I went up today and ordered what I wanted. Falafel platter. And my god everything went downhill starting this point. The guy said that the cards ain't working and it's cash only at the moment. I was puzzled anyway we found out a way to Venmo. The guy who was taking order handed me the plate and while I was wondering where my pita bread was, I checked if it's going to take long to get the pita. He outright said I ran out of pitA! Wtf! I asked so what was I supposed to have babaganoush with? He gave a couple of bread options- white / wheat bread. Really who has BG with regular bread? Also asked me if I would like the pita from the sample plates that were put on display. Whattttttttttt! I'm not going to have something I don't even know when it was put out! BG was really not great as per the reviews- or maybe I had lost complete hopes in this place. It was very chunky and Extremely cold for some reason. It came with the salad with balsamic glazing. American salad in Mediterranean place. The lettuce was stale and the balsamic did no wonder. Falafel was alright, four pieces, which obviously I couldn't finish. So I asked if I can have a to go box. The box offered had some oil and spices on it. And asked for some tzatiki sauce for the falafels. And omg! The sauce didn't have a lid for it and I was offered a foil wrap. Just got the hell out of there in 20. The guy came and apologized couple of times but it was extremely unprofessional and he didn't seem to care much and I came out feeling disgusted. So while you're very particular about money matters, service is totally taken granted for? Didn't mind the styrofoam serving plate but this unruly service I definitely mind. Not going to return ever! Seriously, this place needs to up the customer service desperately. read more

I've been coming here for the past two years. Food is good but inconsistent. I've tried the chicken & grilled fish kabob plates. Sometimes over grill the chicken & fish. Sometimes cooked perfectly. Good portion. And they let you switch out rice for hummus. Nice staff. Also would help to post accurate business hours. On Saturdays closes at 2:30pm, according to the staff. read more

Great smoothies and friendly staff willing to go the extra mile to ensure a good experience.

You get what you pay for. Reasonably priced lunch for decent kebob. They were flexible with trading out the rice for something else for the carb conscious. They don't have sriracha which should be a must at every kebob place (personal preference of course). Good service. read more

Beautiful setting! Beautiful food! Love the chicken skewers. There is also very fast and friendly service evertime. Great outdoor seating as well. read more

The chicken kabob plate with hummus and pita is the best and it's delicious You have to specifically ask for the hummus and pita or else they'll give you the rice and salad. Given, the rice and salad is still good but it's no hummus with pita bread. It's amazing. Any time I'm craving Mediterranean food, Bob's chicken kabobs plate is my go-to. They do get busy during lunch and it's not unusual to wait 15-20 minutes for your meal. But it's always worth it. read more

Bob's Cafe - Chicken kabob with salad, hummus, and pita bread - Greek Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Ordered pickup online on Yelp and came to pick up order at 11am on a Saturday and the store wasn't even open.

In all honesty, this place is pretty good. Bobs Cafe is located right across the Wilshire and Vermont metro station and that is how I stumbled upon this little hole in the wall. The youngster behind the cash register looked like he was indifferent about working there. He was also indifferent about greeting the guests, taking their order, and thanking them for their contributions. His face was pretty dry. Anyways, there was and older African America server, he made my visit worth while. He was very attentive and had a huge smile on his face the whole time I was there. I ordered a plate of the Chicken kabob. It came with a nice salad, lightly dressed to perfection. Also, what looked to me like jasmine rice, the rice was mouth watering and perfectly cooked. The chicken kabob was delicious, it had all the right seasonings. Needless to say I devoured the entire plate and I think I licked my fingers too! read more
