The wait was ridiculous. So I got on Yelp and found LA BBQ. Soon as we pulled in front of the restaurant there had a beautiful shish kebab on a wood flame grill. It smelled amazing, I was actually sold then. There were two Armenian brothers that ran the restaurant. Their English wasn't the best but their food and kindness totally made up for it. We ordered the Armenian salad, the beef kebab plate, the Shawarma wrap, the lamb chops, and the chicken kebab. Everything was prepared and tasted fresh. If you are ever around this location and have doubts about trying and get I can guarantee you you won't regret it.

The focus is on fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and healthy food that doesn't have to be boring. Their menu features everything from signature rotisserie chicken to nourishing bowls, hummus, and house-made sauces. Here are some of the items we ordered: *Hummus-Creamy, house-made hummus topped with a fresh Mediterranean mix of chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, red onions, and a touch of feta, finished with a drizzle of olive oil and Spanish paprika. It was served with crispy pita chips seasoned with aromatic za'atar. *Quarter White Chicken (Breast + Wing)-Brined and marinated for 48 hours for deep flavor and perfectly juicy tenderness. This is a great option if you're looking for a simple, protein-packed meal. *Gaucho Bowl-Rotisserie chicken, hummus, chimichurri turmeric rice, shirazi salad, sautéed kale, roasted sweet potatoes, roasted corn, crunchy garbanzo beans, avocado, Aleppo pepper, and chimichurri dressing. This bowl had a little bit of everything, with a variety of flavors and textures in one dish. *Sweet Potato Fries One thing to know is that the portions are generous! Everything we ordered added up to a lot of food and the portions were definitely shareable. I ended up taking most of my food home, so you can easily make a meal out of these dishes and still have leftovers for later. There is street parking available, including in residential areas. Make sure to read the posted signs carefully before parking, as restrictions may vary depending on the spot. Overall, I'm glad we finally got to try it. It's a good option if you're looking for fresh, flavorful food with generous portions and a variety of choices.

Paros was not too far from the 5 fwy too, extra score! I called in my order and ordered the Chicken Ranchera plate. The Chicken Ranchera is chicken sliced up in strips. I love that they cut the chicken like this, it makes it much easier to eat. The Chicken was tender. My plate came with a base which I picked rice and two sides. They had a good amount of options to pick from. My two sides were french fries and spicy hummus. Both sides were okay. The service was good. My plate was ready when I got there and interaction was nice and easy. Overall, a good place to grab and go for your Mediterranean eats.

I showed up before the lunch rush so I was able to enjoy a few minutes of peace while I worked remotely... the employees were very helpful and I love the atmosphere. Plenty of seats inside and out. Parking is free but scarce and on the street. If you are in the area, this spot is definitely a must. Lines can long but the food is always worth it. Coffee is always good here too!

Although Raffi's in Glendale is usually my go-to spot, I met a friend here for lunch and it was a nice change of scenery. Not only did I love the idea of having an outdoor patio almost to ourselves, but the inside is really cute with its retro mint accents, old school chairs, and wooden tabletops. I also loved looking at the Old World Hollywood black & white photos up on the walls. The only conundrum is finding a seat inside since this place fills up quickly during the lunch rush hours. Also, some folks just park it so they can work on their laptops while sipping on coffee -- not that I can blame 'em. Their Mediterranean, Lebanese-inspired cuisine, and fusion-inspired grill fare is delicious and the portion sizes are ample. Juicy tomatoes and slightly charred zucchini and summer squash sat vibrantly on my plate. Their savory chicken breast kabobs are made with authentic spices, but more on the lean, dry side. So I prefer their falafels, dolmas, and grilled veggies on my plate. SOTTA touts their Tomato Soup as "the best in town". Not sure I'd agree. My bowl was piping hot, but a bit on the bland side. I'd personally opt for another salad if given a choice: Their babaganoush is creamy, Greek salad is crisp, while the Shirazi Salad and Quinoa Tabbouleh won't disappoint. I'll have to try the Sautéed Mushrooms next time because the red wine, teriyaki, and garlic marinade piqued my interest. As for their drink menu, the coffee is excellent. Or try a 20 oz. matcha that's infused with passion fruit or guava. It's worth the splurge. Although Skaf's in Highland Park is still my fave Lebanese restaurant, I'll still make my way over to SOTTA next time on this side of the hill. It's still continents closer than the Adriatic Sea.
