Hands-down, this is the best Mediterranean-based cuisine restaurant in the South Bay, if not all of…read moreLA. I wanted to follow up my very short review that I wrote about this restaurant over a decade ago as I have continued to frequent this restaurant and I have always enjoyed their food. What they offer here is a really nice selection of Mediterranean-based cuisine. They always use the best ingredients, and the food always arrives with a great presentation. Mostly, the food here tastes very-very good. And, isn't that the right reason you actually go to a restaurant in the first place? This is a family-owned and operated business. From this, you can really tell that everybody who works here really cares about the restaurant and the customers. Thus, it's always a great dining experience. Their menu offers a really nice selection of everything from gyro's to kebabs onto salads and the like. There's a really nice choice of both entrées and side dishes for you to choose from. The one thing I will say about this establishment, and this is certainly not a criticism, but whenever you eat here, they always keep the food coming. Whether it is the pita chips, the pita bread, the whatever, when you leave here you are going to be very-very full. This restaurant is located just off of Hawthorne Boulevard and a block from PCH. Thus, it's very easy to find. In terms of parking they have a parking lot over to one side of the building. You could always find a spot there. They also have a number of spots on the street, in front of the restaurant. This is where I always prefer to park. Easy in, easy out. Overall, if you're looking for some great Mediterranean-based food, this is the place to go. You will not be disappointed.

We sat outside with our fur baby, which made the experience even better. The vibe was warm, intimate, and perfect for the holidays. They also had a huge, beautiful Christmas tree right in front of the restaurant where we took photos--such a fun and festive touch! This is one of our go-to breakfast spots, come check it out!

Close to where the wifey wanted to shop, (aka, happy wife, happy life), but I too like the mens Bath & Body products. But I digress... We both got paninis, and in their defense, both were tasty. Me... chipotle chicken, the wife, turkey I think but I have no idea. The "fries or salad option" is offered and me, being the fat effer that I am, chose salad, as did the lovely wifey. Results. Pannini's, i.e. both of them, were very tasty. Not the knock your sock off kick my arse variety, but very tasty. Bread is delicious... That said... here is kicker #1. You are offered a 'Salad or a Fry', with your panini. Again. the both of us, attending to our respective diets, chose the salad option. Well... kick me in the arse and call me a donkey's child because I could have picked more greens outta my teeth after a snack sesh with broccoli after flossing, than this B.S... Again, I digress. What really gets me is the cost of two small, albeit tasty, panini's, that was $54... Really? Call me a cheapskate but I personally believe that $54 should at least give you a little... Well, I'll stop there... JMHO.

It's in a busy small shopping center with other small restaurants so it can get a bit busy, but there is extended parking as well. As you walk in it's very small there is no seating so it's mostly pick up but there is a Kiosk and that's where you order your food and Arash comes to the front and greet you and he was so kind and offered help as this was my first time and he guided me. I ordered the Combination plate with chicken and beef shawarma and it came with the rice and the most delicious Fatoosh salad the dressing was to die for and the salad portion was great! The flavor was just amazing, very flavorful with every bite and the pita bread was delicious with the their dipping sauces and the hummus as well. I waited maybe 10 min and then my food was ready. I even got a text to notify that my food was ready so even if to went to wait in your car or go do something quick the notify you and I loved that touch. I WILL def coming back the portions are great and the food is delicious and fresh and made to order. They have a fridge with some drinks as well. Over all I love the concept it's easy to order and food comes out fresh.. if you are looking for some delicious kabobs or Mediterranean food this is your spot here in Lomita.

PLACE LOOKS SKETCH BUT IS FRESH…read more I walked in and was underwhelmed in my visit. The credit card machine was down, the soda machine was down, there wasn't any music and the place was bare. The whole plaza is basically cash only. BUT I ordered the family meal deal that feeds about 4 for around 50 bucks. Comes with chicken koobideh, chicken kabob, beef koobideh, a salad and a ton of rice/ bread/ peppers. Again, it doesn't look like much but it tastes great. The salad was plain, but the dressing is tangy and tinged with a lemon flavor. The meat, was all super tender. I know it's Persian but man it tasted like some really good taco meats.
