    Greek Omelette

    The food is AMAZING. I got the greek omelette and I haven't eaten this good of a breakfast in a while. It came out so quick. They have wifi so I was able to bring my laptop and work. Everyone was so helpful. It's a small spot, but definitely cozy!

    Chorizo con huevo and their potatoes

    So glad I found this spot! Brought my mom for breakfast after her appointment and it was delicious! She got the 2x4 that included 2 banana hot cakes, eggs and bacon. The pancakes were soft and full of flavor!! Literally how my mom makes them and I loved them. I got the huevos con chorizo and it was obviously a hit! But the potatoes? Definitely my favorite part of the meal. Not only was the food delicious but the service was 10/10!! Everyone was so sweet and attentive. They made my mom comfortable too by speaking to her in Spanish and I really appreciated that. The ambiance was so cute!! They have so many cute beach decor and it was nice. Definitely coming back to bring my friends! Beautiful attitudes and delicious food!

    Love this little hole in the wall. The inside counter is really small, but they have tables set up outside. The staff is super friendly and nice. The breakfast is a good sized portion and so decently priced, which is too rare these days. And the food was fresh and tasted delicious. I loved my omelette, but I have to say I REALLY loved the GF's Huevos Rancheros. And with those homemade corn tortillas... wow. Can't wait to come back.

    Got the Bacon and 2 Eggs (1/2 Bacon and 1/2 Sausage) and Coffee. Very good quality and delicious breakfast. Definitely not stingy on the butter on the toast. The coffee was a nice medium roast. The home potatoes were nicely seasoned and cooked with onions. On my next visit, I am going to see if they can make the home potatoes more crispier. They also have a green salsa, which is available as condiment, that was flavorful and packs some heat. Dining is available at the horseshoe counter, inside tables and outside tables. Service was extremely friendly. The chef greeted me and took my order. When patrons left, the chef would say "See you tomorrow". Parking is available along PCH.

    If you want some fresh home cooked breakfast or lunch ! This is your spot ! Prices are reasonable , service is great , and food is delicious! Parking is a bit limited but was told you can use bank parking lot , drive way or street parking if available. It's two blocks away from the beach great location! Give them a shot ! You won't retreat promise! 5

    Omelette topped with chili so perfect and delicious

    Food and service has such a warm homelike experience. Family owned business and all hands on deck. Such a rare place to get to see first hand the ambience was so cozy as the name declares. The food though was so surprisingly spectacularly delicious. I usually add salt and pepper to most my restaurant food however, everything was seasoned perfectly. Even the simple cup of coffee was freshly brewed and high quality. I can't give a 10 stars review if not I would've. Will definitely be coming back!!

    I wasn't sure what to expect when we walked in here. I had been wanting to try this place for a very long time! Small hole in the wall. Service was 10000/10. We were helped right away, our food was made very quick, we all enjoyed our food. My son got the chili cheese burger and he's usually picky with burgers, and he really liked it from here!! I like that the portions are small, just perfect to make you full. I usually never finish my food but that wasn't the case here, I actually finished it all. No containers to go were needed for our table. We came in on a Sunday for brunch and it was a little empty but as we were leaving, the outside patio filled up. The only thing I disliked was that the check was written and you could hardly tell what was what. Either way, price was great for 5 of us! I want to add that it was BEYOND humbling to eat here. I meant it in the best way possible. Cozy cafe seems to be operated by family, a boy, 10-12 year old took our drink order and brought us everything we needed. Not sure if the cook was his dad or grandpa but the whole family seems to be involved and of service!! You do not see this very often nowadays!!!! I felt the love and care that this food was made with... including the customer service!!! Thank you!!!!! I will definitely be coming back!

    Good home cooking. Been a while since being here. Change in ownership. New owners nice, friendly and quick. Same decor no change but more outside sealing.

    Tuna melt with hash browns
    Stephen M.

    Went here for brunch as my wife and I were craving some typical diner brunch food. It definitely hit the spot. I ordered the chorizo and my wife ordered the tuna melt. Both were delicious, and we can't wait to come back and try some other options.

    Keep an eye out for the sign!

    Day 1: Found a local gem this morning! Cannot rave enough about this true "cozy" cafe. On the outside, which is being painted, it may not look like much, but it has a charm that breaks through the generic, modernistic, and want to be boutique eateries of the area. What others are trying to convey The Cozy Cafe brings to you on a plate with home style meals. The iconic mix of Greek-Hispanic flair made famous by California literary great Victor Villasenor resonates in this establishment! In the center of all the "fluff" of touristy Rendondo Beach fare, sit down at the horseshoe style countertop and have a great cup of Joe, good enough for any dock worker or fisherman. Order the Huevos Rancheros and be served a large plate of eggs, papas with onions, and a "Spanish sauce" that has a Mediterranean flair! Or order the Ham Steak and Eggs and have a meal fit for a sailor! The experience is like visiting a relative's home, catching up on recent events, and having a great meal. Day: 2 Returned to have Carlos make Chorizo con Huevos to PERFECTION!! If you ever have found a place far from home, that made you feel like you are at a family's house- this is it!!

    Al Hamra Kabob Grill is a restaurant run by a Pakistani owner, specializing in kebabs and grilled…read moremeats inspired by Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. The menu also features traditional Pakistani, Persian, and Arabic dishes, such as Beef Nihari and Haleem. After several visits, here are my thoughts on some of their grilled meats and desserts. Beef Kofta - 3/5. The kofta was a bit dry and tough. I wish it had more fat and seasoning to make it juicier and more flavorful. The grilling is also somewhat inconsistent--sometimes the kofta comes out beautifully browned, while other times it's over-charred. Grilled Fish - 4/5. This is easily my favorite item on the menu and, in my opinion, their best dish. The fish is seasoned just enough to enhance its natural flavor without overpowering it. It's grilled very well, developing a beautiful golden-brown crust while remaining moist and tender inside. Beef Shish Kebab - 3.5/5. The quality of the beef is decent, especially considering the price. Given the cut of meat they use, they've done a commendable job with the grilling. The beef has a solid seasoning base and a nice sear with just enough char to add flavor without becoming overly smoky. It's reasonably tender, though I wish it retained a bit more juiciness. Chicken Shish Kebab - 3.5/5. Very similar to the beef shish kebab. It has good flavor and is grilled well, but it could benefit from being a little juicier. Gyro - 2/5. Unfortunately, this was the biggest disappointment. The gyro meat on the vertical spit often appears to be rotating without enough heat to properly caramelize and crisp the exterior. As a result, the meat comes across as dry, rubbery, and lacking the rich roasted flavor that makes a great gyro. Kunafa (Knafeh) - 3/5. This dessert has both strengths and weaknesses. The cheese filling has a pleasant, slightly salty flavor and a creamy texture, and I appreciate that it isn't overly sweet. However, the syrup is underwhelming. A good kunafa should be generously coated with a fragrant sugar syrup - ideally infused with rose water or orange blossom water - to provide sweetness and aroma. I also wish the kataifi, the shredded pastry dough, were crispier and lighter to create a better contrast with the gooey cheese filling. Overall, Al Hamra Kabob Grill is one of the better places to enjoy Middle Eastern-style grilled dishes in the South Bay. While a few menu items could be improved, the grilled fish stands out as excellent, and the shish kebabs are solid choices. The owner is also incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a warm, neighborhood atmosphere that keeps customers coming back. It's not perfect, but it's a restaurant I enjoy visiting from time to time and one I'd recommend if you're craving grilled Middle Eastern flavors.

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.

I've never eaten in, but I've picked up food from here twice and have enjoyed their food at my sister's house at least one other time. The first thing I don't understand is how this place is in Torrance rather than Redondo Beach. I don't mean that I don't understand why they chose Torrance over Redondo Beach; I mean that I just don't understand the two cities' boundaries very well, because this feels like straight-up North Redondo to me. The second thing I don't understand is how this place hasn't expanded or multiplied or otherwise won the hearts and minds and stomachs of South Bayers near and far. But maybe it already has. The third thing I don't understand is why I don't come here more often. It's not that far from my sister's house, and I was dog-sitting there earlier this year. . . . I'm fresh out of things I don't understand. What I do understand is that the owners of this place (an Armenian brother and sister?) are amazing. The food is so good and fresh and flavorful. The menu is kind of all over the place, which in most cases is a red flag, but in the case of more than one restaurant owned and operated by Armenians (I'm including my cousin's restaurant before he sold it and retired), the more different items on the menu, the better. Or at least it's not a red flag. I promise. The combo deal is legit, but even without that deal, the prices are good, especially when you consider the food quality. Writing his review now makes me miss King Mediterrano even though I don't normally miss it or think about it. Those days are over. Next time I have calories to collect in the South Bay, I'm headed straight for Redondo Beach Boulevard.

Sometimes I stuffed it in a pita with a smear of the white garlic sauce. Sometimes I dipped my fork in the garlic sauce then filled my fork with a mouthful of salad. Originally I was going to say that I wish the dressing stood out more, but it would probably feel like too much with the white garlic sauce. I also got the small chicken soup which I saved for another night - but because my throat had a tickle. It was the perfect portion and I loved the seasoning and crispy pita chip strips!
