Hummus and gyro plate were amazing and very family friendly. I would highly recommend.

We LOVE Cafe Duliban. Milton the newer owner took it over 3 years ago and it's delicious! All the guys, Nick, Joel, Pablo, Gustavo are all is nice and their prices are great for quality food! And, best of all, they treat you like family. If you like Middle Eastern food, this is a MUST! read more

Cafe Du Liban - Plate #4 Persian Chicken Shish Kabob and Beef Koobideh plate - Middle Eastern Near Me - Tarzana, California

See all

I went there today with mom and the puppy and sat on the patio. We had gotten a coupon in the mail and after seeing the excellent yelp reviews we gave it a try. . I lived near by for many years and never stoped. Apparently a very nice man explained he just purchased the restaurant a month ago and he has two menus. The old one on the wall is Lebanese and the new one is Persian. I'm not from the Middle East, I'm from the mid valley, so I decided to try the Lebanese kabobs with rice and a salad. We had three mixed kabobs , hamburger, steak, and chicken. Everything was outstanding! From the salad, sautéed veggies, hummus , pita, and meats. Mom said it's the best meal she has had for a long time! It takes about twenty minutes to get your order because it's made fresh. We will absolutely be back and will try the Persian kabob combo as well. read more

I have been coming to Cafe du Liban for many years since I was little. There was a recent change in ownership I believe but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the quality of service and food has remained the same. My mom and I came for lunch and the place was not too crowded--we were able to order at the counter right away and our food came out very quickly. For food we split a chicken salad and the chicken laffa sandwich. The chicken salad was just as we remembered. It comes with very generous amounts of chicken that will make you feel satisfied for hours. It is fresh, tasty, healthy, and there truly are no words to describe how heavenly the combination of the sumac with the juicy grilled chicken and dressing is-- 10/10 recommend this dish as it is a classic and still lives up to the hype! The chicken laffa sandwich was also pretty good! The filling has a nice mix of flavor/texture with the grilled chicken, tomatoes, pickles, and delightful garlic sauce. Portion size is also generous and the flavors themselves remain the same as before. I will note though that I did notice there has been a slight change in the bread (at least on the instance I went.) This laffa sandwich has been my go-to meal here ever since I was young and I think they might have swapped the bread to store-bought lavash instead of the freshly baked laffa they used to have before. There are both pros and cons to this: on one hand I certainly miss the doughier and chewier consistency of the laffa which always made it feel very special and satisfying to me. However, the lavash still does a decent job: it might be a bit less messy, holds the contents better, and it feels a lot lighter on the stomach. I also think it takes less time for it to be prepared now since the bread does not have to be made from scratch after you order, which is better considering this place has shifted towards a more "fast casual" style. I will say though that the fresh laffa will be dearly missed (nothing wrong with the new bread, I'm just coming from a place of emotional attachment.) Overall, Cafe du Liban is still a wonderful spot for a quick, healthy, filling lunch and I would recommend to anyone who likes Mediterranean food! Their kabob plates are also top tier, although I did not get one this time, they are amazing and might become my new go-to in lieu of the laffa sandwich. Thank you for a great experience once again! Looking forward to coming back in the future. read more

Nick gave us 10/10 service, and the food was amazing. Big portions and great flavor. Highly recommend the laffa wraps. A huge sandwich is definitely sharable with a yummy appetizer to complement. Obsessed with the salad dressing on the house salad. Definitely will be back to try other things on the menu read more

Came here for an early lunch today, first time here. Our regular spot is out of business apparently, so we decided to check this place out. You go inside and order yourself. The guy working there had no mask on, which is fine with us, but maybe not others. I had the chicken kabob plate and my friend had the beef. The rice was like a boxed pilaf not a basmati rice. Chicken was kind of bland, but my friend said her beef was good. Hummus was tasty. They didn't have any iced tea just a few fountain soda's. We had to ask for pita bread. Noticed a few people go in after us, some masked some not. Nice little outdoor area to eat. Not sure we would come back as it wasn't anything special. read more

The food tastes very good, unfortunately it has become a standard middle easter restaurant. Don't get me wrong, the food is good but, it lost its unique touch from the original owners. The Mother and Father who started the cafe had such a unique Lebanese Cuisine Menu (Frogs Legs, Raw Meat Dish w/ Toasted Pita and a shot of Uzo, etc.) that was so different and incredibly tasty. The current menu is middle easter and has very good tasting food, but knowing what it used to be, kinda kills it for me going there. If you are looking for an easy, local, bite with a good local vibe, then Cafe Du Liban is your spot! read more

Food is always fresh and very tasty! The veggies are fresh, and they have the best eggplant, hummus and falafel in town! For the most authentic and best mediterranean food, this is the best place. read more

I can't say enough good things about the food and service here... always fresh, hot and on point. Nick always goes above and beyond to take care of my mom and I... we love the lentil soup here, so flavorful and savory; reminds us of home. We had the good fortune of also meeting Milton, who treated us like family. Would like to try more things on the menu, but the salads and sandwhoches are so good, its hard to branch out. Love the food, love the people, price is right and close to home. What else do you need? read more

Super delicious! The perfect amount of spices make this place delicious! The service is great, they make you feel so welcome!

Amazing food and service!!! Top notch fresh middle eastern items. I can't recommend the place more highly!

Another great meal at Cafe Du Liban. Their beef filet kebob plate is always amazing and tender. Their chicken salads are also delicious and their salad dressing is amazing. I always get a bottle of salad dressing to go, you won't find anything like it at the grocery store. read more

Delicious food, great service and reasonable prices! Yum! Will definitely be ordering from there again!

Been coming here for years but had not been in the past couple years. Happen to be driving on Ventura and saw the sign. Mouth started to water, therefore saved myself from having to go shop to prep dinner. Ordered to go, expect a wait as it's freshly cooked. The food is really good and tastes traditional. Check in on Yelp for free baklava (fresh with walnuts & cinnamon). Forgot how much I like their food and of looking for Halal meat .... the shawarma is halal. Will be back again soon especially since it's been remodeled. Staff super friendly and professional making you feel like your family. read more

Absolutely incredible flavor! So much passion and effort put into these plates. And quality meats I can tell because when I took a bite out of the steak and chicken, it is like butter, so tender, juicy and soft. I cut the meat up with my fork! I'm so glad I found this place on yelp because it's very hard to find places that still really serve quality food these days that actually taste fresh and flavorful. Thanks to the owner I believe he was the owner because he knew what to mix with the plate and what sides would not go well together he was also very kind and generous. read more

Oh my goodness the food is so delicious here. They make everything from scratch the beef filet kabob the meat is so tender and melts in the mouth! The produce is fresh .. They recently started doing pizza a must try.. Also have to mention the chicken pita something so simple but they pickle their own cucumbers and put garlic sauce on the chicken . Best Mediterranean food in town Service and ambiance 10/10 read more

I had to have the delicious Greek salad the flavor with the feta cheese and the dressing was beyond ridiculously good!! The beef Shawarma sandwich was well made and the flavor soaks right Into the pita and the meat drips with deliciousness!! The crunchy turnips with the most watering pickled flavor made me eat so fast I think I'm gonna bring another one. Love the interior and the many TVs!! Come and have a seat!! read more

Finally decided to check this place out. I struggled more than I should have between giving it a 3 and 4. First the bad. $18 for a gyro plate was kind of a lot. Especially since I thought it would come with hummus, it didn't. It came with some pickled veggies which I thought were kinda dry and a generous portion of house salad which wasn't very good. Whose fault was it for ordering a house salad? Mine. It's rarely good anywhere so I won't knock it here. Maybe I should have gotten rice instead but I don't like rice unless it's integral to a dish, personal preference... especially since I got enough carbs in the store bought pita it came with. Despite the negatives, I thought the gyro was cooked very well, the texture was quite nice and I could have eaten a lot more of it. The portion size wasn't great, but it was tasty. Considering the most important thing was good, I'll bump it up to a 4. That's kind of the point for me. Also the area itself isn't flourishing with amazing options, so that helps this stand out a little more too. If I came here again I would just get a wrap and dip it in sauce and I think that would be pretty great. I also had the fish dish but didn't take a picture of it. The gyro dipped in the spicy fish sauce was very good. I feel kinda cheating bumping it up on a dish I didn't even get (a wrap), but I'm confident it would be good based on eating the meat with pita and sauce. Still 3.75 would be my score. Better bread and sides could bump this up .5-1. read more

Good food and pleasant staff, but the atmosphere was a bit disappointing and tired. Unfortunately, I won't return read more

Ordered 2 chicken wraps and 1 lentil soup. The chicken was dry, the tomatoes were mealy, the laffa was falling apart, and the whole thing just tasted like pickles and garlic sauce. On top of that, the wrap appeared to have been thrown together in about 3 seconds with absolutely no care or attention to detail. Literally one half of the wrap had all the chicken and the other half had almost none. Additionally, the lentil soup was the worst I've ever had. It was extremely watery and bland. Also, the side of tzatziki tasted like soap. read more

From the excellent customer service to the cleanliness and most of all the really really nice owner and whole staff made coming back here a great experience. Did I not mention the beyond delicious food so worth it. We will always return Thank you so much. read more

After reading all the amazing reviews I thought for sure this was a safe bet. However, it was just barely ok. The bread on my wrap couldn't hold it together and the chicken was very bland cube chicken. The chicken salad had the same chicken and big pieces of lettuce. Should probably give 2 stars but don't want to be a jerk. read more

Dam I love this place. Everything is good. Plenty food, fair prices. Outdoor seating. Best hummus in area.

Another stellar experience with Cafe du Liban. The beef and chicken kabobs, lentil soup, Greek salad, falafel, rice, grilled vegetables, and hummus are my go-to choices as the flavors are authentic and the textures perfect - can't ask for better! And the house-made salad dressing is always a winner. The menu includes some deals that are value for money, a nice bonus. The service is outstanding and friendly no matter the time of day and in spite of staff being busy with numerous telephone orders. This is, after all, a very popular place! Thank you Milton and staff for everything! read more

Very disappointed with this restaurant. Used to be one of my favorite places but the quality has changed so much. I ordered a Beef Shawarma plate which cost over $20 and the beef was mostly uneatable, cheap meat. Just disgusting! read more

I thought it would be better based off the good reviews. However, I was disappointed. The food wasn't amazing or good. It was just okay. The beef shawarma was great until you tasted the meat. The meat was dry and chewy; it was well done for sure. It ruined the shawarma and then it kind of ruined the beef shawarma fries as well. My husband had the chicken koobideh. Sadly, the rice could of used more seasoning. The chicken was not bad. Luckily, it was not dry like the beef shawarma. Overall, the chicken koobideh was overpriced for the quality that we received. The owner and kitchen staff were really friendly and had good service. Don't think we'll be back tho. read more

Just tried this place for the first time tonight. Due to covid, we called and placed our order for pickup. We ordered the beef shwerma fries, 3 meat combo plate (all chicken), vegetarian combo meal, and lentil soup. 20-25 mins later our order was ready for pickup. As soon as my husband brought it into the car my mouth was watering by how delicious it smelled. We got home and devoured as much as we could. We have leftovers for days! They even gave us extra pita which was so sweet. I love making my own pita sandwiches so it was a nice surprise. We loved everything! And the fries weren't soggy like we thought they might be after the long drive home. I can't wait to go back and try their other dishes too! read more

We've come here many times now and each time the owner greets us with the best manners. We literally feel like we've entered a close friend's home. And even though my husband already left a review, I wanted to leave one as well. The service is actually "perfect", like I said above, you feel like family. The owner provides solid recommendations and each time gets us to expand our pallet. And each time he's right, the food is to die for. Lastly, the atmosphere is quiet, clean and cute. Dine in, meet the owner and become a forever customer like us. They literally cook the best food! read more
