Love love love this place, fresh and delicious food. The steak plate is super good, tender steak, good salad dressing. I love the garlic and chili sauce! A must try!

Arnold A.

First time here, as my favorite Mediterranean restaurant is closed on Sundays. (Armani's). Called it in for pick up. I've tried Olives, which is very good and House of Kabob which is decent. My opinion- The food here falls in 4th place from the above mentioned restaurants. The flavor was OK but in my opinion, I have enjoyed other places more. I ordered the 2 skewer steak at $17.99 and the 3 skewer steak for $22.99. The service was good and the place was clean and quaint. The 3 stars are for A- flavor, salad had brown (wilted spots) but mainly for the pricing. The total was $40.98 plus taxes of $4.25. No receipt was given and she charged $48.75 That's $4.61 more than advertised on their Yelp menus which seems shady. Unfortunately I drove a little over 11 miles one way just to give them a try and by the time I got back home (22.8 miles) I noticed the discrepancy. Unfortunately, this will be a one and done for me.

The ground beef Lula kabobs that i had last year was tender and juicy. This time it was a little dry, but overall great home cooked meal. The chicken was very juicy and a 13-15 minute wait. This time they're selling a pistachio yogurt looking dessert and toffee pudding with Biscoff cookies in their Monster refrigerator near the front counter. They're also selling baklava and another pastry that looks like knafeh. The 3 mixed kabob meal was $24.46. I'll try the desserts next time.

First time customer. Hidden away on Avenue S, this family-owned place makes a delicious gyro. Fresh ingredients and just...superior to all the fast food offerings. I feel energized and nourished! This place is SPOTLESS! Nice place to sit if you want to eat there. Going to have to come back to try the kabob. Thank you Cali's! I will be back.

The food here is always amazing, and I truly enjoy coming with my family--it's one of our go-to spots. However, during my recent visit to pick up a to-go order I had placed over the phone, I had an unfortunate experience with the staff member working the front counter. When I walked in, I was speaking with my boyfriend and didn't immediately hear the employee ask if I was there for a pickup. As I approached the counter, she repeated herself, but in a noticeably rude and impatient tone. The interaction continued to feel unnecessarily tense--after we paid, she told me to sign the receipt in a dismissive way. When I didn't see a designated signature line and asked where to sign, she said, "anywhere," again with an unwelcoming attitude. While the food and atmosphere are consistently great, customer service is also an important part of the dining experience, and I hope this feedback helps improve future interactions.

Absolutely delicious! Ordered chicken kabob with rice and hummus! And the salad everything was so good definitely coming back

I don't know how this place is getting 4+ stars. To start the lady/owner is super rude. Looking at me like I owe her something.

This place is good/healthy! I love how fresh the food is and always a good place to grab mediterranean food. However if you are here during your lunch break, it may take about 30mins for them to prepare your food. The cashier said it will take 15mins to make. I came back in 15mins and she said "it will take 15-20mins (additional)"... At this point my lunch break is over.. sad. read more

I was charged $84 dollars plus tax (almost $90) the amounts, so little only to feed maybe 3 people, quantity and quality, Only getting worse.

I think this is a one woman operation so please be patient with her. It will be worth it! Okay, so I saw a few reviews about calling in and that they closed early et. al. So I called ahead the day before letting them know that I would be calling in for a "family meal" the next day. She told me when to call to place that in and apologized for being so busy as this was also just a few days before Christmas. She explained that when we come to the door to just knock, let us know why we are there, and gave a window of time of when it would be ready. My husband showed up, knew the instructions and waited for her to come to the door to unlock. He brought home the food and OMG!! Amazing!!! We live 35 minutes away so it was a bit of drive back but the food here is soooo good. Excellent falafel. Chicken was grilled perfectly. Rice, cabbage, hummus, everything was top notch and still very hot. The prices here for family meals were absolutely incredible. Really good deals. Amazing food. You won't want to miss out on this place. Hopefully, she'll get some more help in soon so that her doors aren't always locked and that she can continue to cook her amazing food! read more

I decided to pick up some kabob while in the area working. I opted for the chicken and beef Lula. I knew when I walked in and a lady greeted me. Looked like the owner and I knew it would be good. The first thing I tried was the small salad it came with. This was wonderful it had tomato, cucumber and the dressing was really good. The next would be the pita and Hummus. The pita was the standard bagged pita but the hummus was delicious. Next I went for the chicken and the Lula. They were both really good and cooked perfectly. I would definitely recommend this place and the price was good. read more

My favorite Mediterranean Spot in the AV! I ordered the Beef Lula Kabob Combo Plate, a Chicken Skewer ala carte, Baba ghanoush, and an extra pita bread. This is my 2nd time eating here, and it was just as good this time as the last! The flavors of the kabobs are amazing! The portions are great, and the combos are reasonably priced. What impressed me most about this restaurant, was that when there was a misunderstanding about my order, the owner fixed it without hesitation! They practice social distancing, follows the State guidelines for COVID and their customer service is superb! This will now be my go-to spot for great and authentic Middle Eastern food!

Good to deep in tahini or hummus. I always call ahead and place my order and if they say order will be ready in 20 mins, it will be ready. No issues at all!

Sorry I didn't get a picture. However, the beef was extremely chewy and dry. We did order medium well but it was definitely well done. I don't believe it's the same cut of beef as they used to use. The kebab plate definitely gives you enough food, but I would say it's light on protein and they do not give turnip and onion like they used to.

The staff is amazing--fun to interact with, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. Every single staff member we've had the chance to interact with has been pleasant and genuinely happy to help. It really makes the atmosphere feel welcoming and relaxed. This place is often busy. During the week it can be a little slower, but I would still highly recommend making a reservation. If you show up as a walk-in they will seat you if a table is available, but your experience will definitely be smoother if you reserve ahead of time. Parking is easy, and you can order drinks at the bar while you wait. I also love supporting this small, locally owned business. The steaks are, by far, some of the best in LA--especially considering the price, flavor, and portion sizes. Truly a 10/10. The level of professionalism and the way they make you feel like family is something you don't always find elsewhere. Highly recommend.

At 6:43, while I was taking my last bite of dessert, the owner came over, tapped on the table, and told us they had other reservations waiting. The interaction felt rushed and dismissive, especially since we were clearly wrapping up and had been there for a very reasonable amount of time. It took away from what was meant to be a special evening. Disappointing experience. Only upside was the food being good.

Gee, where do I start. This place is by far THE BEST Mediterranean food place I have ever been to in my life! The restaurant is clean and spacious, with multiple tables for comfortable seating. The food is fresh, prepared to order, and delicious. Their chicken and lamb are tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. We've been to this place twice already and tried three combos so far; the chicken and lamb kabob, as well as the shawarma combo. All tasted amazing, and the portions are so generous (see pictures), they leave you full and satisfied! For dessert, we tried their Kenafe and Baklava, absolutely delicious! What I really loved about this place, aside from the perfect food, is that it's family owned and the owners greet you with big smiles and gracious hospitality. Do yourself a favor and give them a try, I know I'm coming back! read more

My husband and I ate here while passing through on a trip. We absolutely loved this place! There were so many dishes to choose from and we thought the food was delicious. The owner/cook was extremely nice too. She actually brought over a couple of food samples that she makes for her family. We couldn't believe that! We highly recommend this place! read more
