Cheese Pies - excellent flavor
Xhana N.

Met a friend today at Cafe Du Liban and had a lovely lunch! I arrived first and was welcomed and allowed to wait at a table. I let the staff know that I was meeting someone and wanted to take a look at the menu. I was given a printed menu to review while I waited. When my friend arrived, we both decided to get the Falafel Salad. Well...we should have gotten one to share because the portion was very generous. I took a lot home with me! Both of us really enjoyed the salads. We also shared an order of Cheese Pies, which were absolutely delicious. At the end of the meal, we were given complementary baklava, which was so lovely and appreciated. While we were there, I noticed several people picking up to go orders, so great to know that take out is an option. This was my first time visiting the restaurant, and I look forward to returning again to try additional items on the menu. The kabobs looked absolutely amazing and will probably be next on the list to try.

Hummus was wonderful
Connie H.

I was holiday shopping and did not realize that I did not eat. How lucky I was. I saw Cafe Du Liban from across the parking lot. The second line in their sign says simply Mediterranean, so I knew I was in for something very tasty and healthy at the same time. They have a really good menu board. I had a gyro which was really good. The meat was ground and processed but the over all taste and freshness was excellent. I was hoping for chunks of grilled meat like from a kabob. I ordered a side of hummus. The gyro came carefully wrapped, keeping it together so it didn't fall apart before I finished. The staff here are really friendly and offered me pita or lavash for the wrap. How nice. Will try lavash next time. The hummus was spectacular. Just eat the warm pita before it goes cold because it gets a little stiff. I will definitely come back.

This place is so unassuming, but super cute on the inside. I ordered a chicken salad for takeout and it was absolutely delicious. I also got a side of pickles and turnips - it was such a healthy portion! The chicken on the salad was super yummy! Not boring at all and the portion was nice. The dressing was delicate, not too oily and had great flavor. The pickles and turnips were so crunchy and delicious. Overall, the ingredients tasted so fresh and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal! The gentleman who helped me with my order when I arrived was very friendly and happy to assist me. I had always heard Cafe Du Liban was good, and now I know it's true! I will definitely be back!

Side House Salad

I stated of with the house salad and let me tell you!! Mouthwatering this salad didn't test like a normal salad so much flavor in it! Then went to the chicken and beef kebab beef 100% hands down was amazing chicken right there with it. It had so much juice to it customer service was incredible. Parking it's OK if it was busy because the shopping center is here it's harder to park. The environment was calm. Just because we did go early in the morning right when they opened. But if you do go here, make sure you bring a jacket or a sweater because it is freezing cold.

Authentic Mediterranean cuisine at the heart of Tarzana. The kababs (chicken & beef) were juicy and freshly grilled. The humus and baba ghanosh were creamy. Service had a friendly and accommodating ambiance. To top it off - it's price friendly!

Plate #4 Persian Chicken Shish Kabob and Beef Koobideh plate.
Angie H.

Ordered from Cafe Du Liban, the food was flavorful, each plate came with appetizing rice, hummus, pickles, turnips, and bread. Each combination plate was appetizing. The service was prompt and kept warm. I didn't observe the ambiance since this was a delivery.

Very good quality. Had a chicken sandwich with grilled peppers, yum. Pleasant place and clean.

Grilled Chicken, Tomatoes, Pickles, Garlic Sauce wrapped in Pita Bread.

My friend and I were looking for a delicious Mediterranean option in the area and decided to try Cafe Du Liban. A "Good Food Quickly" dining establishment located in a busy strip mall section off Ventura, Cafe Du Liban is a hidden gem in Tarzana, serving up amazing cuisine for 20 years. The entrance is fairly nondescript, but once you enter, you immediately see the open kitchen, order counter, and about a dozen tables and booths for diners to enjoy this elevated (but relaxed) casual cuisine. The staff were extremely friendly and answered a few questions we had about the menu items, specifically the Chicken sandwiches which offered wrap options of Pita and Laffa breads. He explained that he prefers the Pita Bread option as the Laffa is a bit thinner and actually priced $5 more. We each decided to take his recommendation and also ordered some vegetarian Cheese Pies as a starter. Also, check in through Yelp and you will receive 20% off your order! A nice perk. We sat down and waited about 10 minutes for the freshly made Cheese Pies to arrive. These came out piping hot, and actually forced us to wait for the temperature to cool off, or else risk burning the inside of your mouth. These were definitely worth the wait and avoiding the risk of "top of mouth burn." Served five to an order ($10), the filo dough is wonderfully crispy and soft once you hit that gooey blended cheese center. Absolutely delicious and a great appetizer to share. A few moments later, our Chicken Sandwiches ($12) arrived. The Chicken sandwiches were a pretty good size, filled with grilled chicken, tomatoes, pickles, and a very robust garlic sauce, wrapped in a delicious pita bread. The filling-to-bite ratio was spot on, with great sweet, garlic and savory bites a-plenty. The person who took our order, along with a fellow staff member, checked in on us a few times to make sure everything was satisfactory, which I thought showed great attention and care about making the experience match the amazing homemade flavor of the food. The bathrooms were also very clean and well-stocked. Parking is free out front, with plenty of availability, even during the lunchtime rush. I would highly recommend Cafe Du Liban and agree with a lot of the 5-star ratings here. It's always amazing to find delicious homemade Lebanese cuisine anywhere in Southern California, but to also have wonderful service, an inviting atmosphere, a friendly staff and very comparable pricing is truly something special. Cafe Du Liban is one of the best at encompassing all of these qualities and I will continue to support and share with others.

Is there hookah?

Sorry, I don't have tobacco license.

Do you still make pizzas? If not please bring it back, it was amazing!

Kat, your kind words about our pizza mean a lot. Regrettably, pizza sales weren't sustainable. Would you consider trying our tasty kabobs? We offer enticing buy one get one free deals on Persian kabob plates.

Is any of your meat halal at this time? I know someone asked the same question about 2 years ago but I was curious if anything has changed. Thank you.

Good morning Noor! Sorry, I don’t have any Halal meat at this time.

Is the meat halal?

The only halal meat option we have is the soujouk as this time. We usually have our shawarma meat halal as well but the market is limited at this time.

It is one place that always puts me in a conundrum, because there is so much here to order. Since about 6 months, they've been opening at 9 am, with an additional spread of breakfast selections. Yes, you can get the Israeli breakfast, as well a selection of numerous salads, if you are looking for something unique. Kind of a small tasting menu, if you will. I came here for lunch, to order my favorites. You have to start with small bites and I always gravitate towards the falafel. It comes with eight fresh and perfectly deep fried balls that are optimally crisped (and crunchy) on the outside, with a soft tasty green filling on the inside. That, with the accompanying tahini sauce, takes you to another place. Always consistent. Hard to come here without making a choice from the butchers section. I go for the middle eastern kabob (this time one skewer) that arrived just after it was grilled with good char, nice coloring, succulent and exploding with fragrance and taste. Each bite allowed you to taste the moist meat and its spices. For my sides, the mashed potatoes (with onions) had wonderful texture and mouthfeel. For the second side, my choice was the house hummus, good body, silky feel and a thick wholesome and smooth blend of its ingredients. It lubricates your tongue. That, when scooped up with pieces of fresh Laffa bread, really hits the spot. Service was attentive, thoughtful and informative. Need to come back often, to try more from the menu. IMHO, this could easily be the best Israeli restaurant in the Valley and to think of it, even in the Los Angeles area.

We made reservations and were able to be seated on time. Due to heavy rains the outdoor seats were unavailable even under awning. I had a grilled chicken breast and didn't like whatever sauce they put on it however I must say the well done French Fries were a 10. The hummus was very good and my wife enjoyed her chicken breast skewer and took leftovers home for dinner the next night. The other couple really enjoyed their chicken breast skewer and chicken thigh skewer. Ofer was a helpful server. I suppose I will try coming again since the others really enjoyed their meal and order something else.

Alisha was so kind and professional over the phone and thoughtfully advised us to make a reservation ahead of time if we wanted a booth -- such a helpful touch that already set the tone. The moment we walked in, we were immediately impressed by the atmosphere. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful -- spacious, elegant, and incredibly clean. The lighting created such a warm and inviting ambiance that made the entire experience feel cozy yet upscale. Everything felt thoughtfully designed and comfortable. And I have to mention something people often overlook: the bathrooms were spotless. Clean restrooms say a lot about a restaurant, and Ayvana clearly pays attention to every detail. When we arrived, Aila brought our drinks and was incredibly sweet and genuine. Then came our server, Neda... and WOW. She was absolutely outstanding. From her warm smile and wonderful tableside manner to her attentiveness and service, she made the entire evening feel special. You can truly tell when someone loves what they do. And now... THE FOOD. OMG. The beautifully presented mast o khiar (which sadly I didn't get to photograph) was delicious and so thoughtfully prepared. The barley soup was warm, comforting, and full of flavor. Then came the Chelo Kabab Barg... and I can honestly say it was one of the softest, most flavorful, and best-marinated barg kebabs I have ever had. Perfectly cooked and absolutely phenomenal. And just when I thought the experience couldn't get any better, we ended with tea and warm bamieh. WARM bamieh!! I had never had bamieh served warm before and now I'm wondering where this idea has been all my life. Absolute genius. Amazing food, beautiful ambiance, exceptional service, and attention to detail from beginning to end. Ayvana has officially earned a return customer. Highly, highly recommend.

The serving dishes were nice and different making the meal so attractive. We all shared bites of each others food and enjoyed knowing that the next we come we know again what we want. Service was lovely and we met George and his family, who were so very nice and welcoming. To have dinner at a family establishment is heart felt and nostalgic, because I grew up in a restaurant environment. George's mother in law came over to us and gave us fresh made cookie biscuits to try as dessert. We couldn't stop thanking them for the entire dining experience. It's a mom and pop shop. A hole in the wall. Some of the best places, you all know, are small. I liked this place a lot. And I'm planning on going there again soon. :) thank you George and family for delicious food and making us feel like family.
