I truly think this is one of the best Mediterranean restaurants around. I also love the casual setup. You order at the counter and the staff brings the food to your table. No frills, just great food. Out of everything we ordered, the standout for me was the garlic butter. It's not so strong that it'll knock out a vampire, but it's rich, buttery, and absolutely perfect with the pita bread. I can't wait to come back, try more items on the menu, and definitely eat more of that garlic butter!

I came in for lunch because I had really been craving your food. When I arrived, I noticed two…read moree-bikes parked in the handicap parking space. As someone living with a brain injury and who has a valid handicap placard, I rely on accessible parking. Seeing those spaces blocked was frustrating and concerning. I was on hold on another phone call at the time, so I came inside and asked to speak with a manager. I spoke with Esmeralda and let her know the handicap space was being blocked. She told me she would call the non-emergency number since I was already on the phone. She stepped away and later returned. When I asked if she had called, she indicated the phone line of their line was busy, even though it was around 10:30 a.m. and the phone was right beside her. Because I was concerned the issue wasn't being addressed, I called the non-emergency line myself and reported it. While I was still on the call, an employee went outside and moved the bikes. Accessible parking exists for people with serious medical needs and disabilities. Situations like this make it harder for those of us who depend on those spaces. After realizing the situation had not been handled honestly or with urgency, I felt uncomfortable staying. I requested a refund and left. I hope this feedback helps ensure handicap parking access is respected and protected going forward.

It's been a long week and I needed some comfort food. I was in the South Bay this weekend and…read moredecided to look for a place to get a good gyro. I dropped by on a Saturday afternoon, where a few other patrons were already dining. The seating has around 6 or so tables inside that can fit around 4 each, and they also have high chairs for children! I ordered a number 17, which is the gyro, and got a side of hummus and pita then found a table to sit at. I had just finished buckling my child into the high chair when my order was delivered to my table! They are super fast here! The super friendly waiter delivered my meal, and I dug in. The gyro was stuffed with meat! This is a huge deal, since a lot of places skimp and don't give enough. So extra points to Al Hamra for a job well done. The flavor of the meat was juicy and well seasoned, super delish! The hummus and pita was good, although I usually add a bit of spices to my hummus so this one was a little plainer than I'm used to. Either way, it was a nice addition to the meal. The grand finale were the desserts! I usually go for baklava, but decided to try the knafeh, a layered cheese dessert with syrup and pistachios. Get the knafeh! The warm cheese and syrup were so delicious and made for the perfect ending to a good meal! I will definitely be back, the food was super tasty, and the people working there were friendly and helpful. Thanks for the happiness, Al Hamra!

Our group of four adults and two kids came in starving. I had the chicken kabob wrap, which was a perfect burrito-sized meal, while my husband enjoyed a beef and chicken kabob plate that fully satisfied his appetite. Honestly, the highlight for me was the warm pita served with garlic mayo, so much better than the cold or room-temperature pitas you often get at otherMediterranean spots. We also shared dessert, the kulfi cheesecake, and left completely stuffed. Al Hamra is a cozy family-run restaurant with just a few tables, but the food makes it well worth it. I'll definitely rotate between this spot and Chicken Maison for future visits.

The food came out fast and hot. The chicken was delicious! Super juicy and flavorful. The rice had a slight buttery taste and was super fluffy and paired well with the chicken. The garlic fries were hot and crispy and came with tons of garlic. The mashawi Cole slaw was not your typical American Cole slaw, it was very herby and vinegary. The plate came with pita and toum, 9/10. Would definitely come back again! There was ample seating and the parking lot in front was small, but there was more parking on the side.

This was my second visit, and unfortunately I had the same rude experience. I tried to overlook it before because I liked the food, but tonight sealed it for me. I brought a friend because I had been hyping up the spicy hummus, and we were excited to go. We arrived around 7:16 PM, and right away the cashier was rude and told us our order had to be to-go because after 7:20 PM they don't allow dine-in. I mentioned it was only 7:18, and she responded with attitude, saying, "Oh, it just turned 7:20." I don't mind paying for good, quality food--even if it's not cheap--but I won't tolerate rude service. No matter how good the food is, the experience matters just as much. In my opinion, the staff could really use some customer service training. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back or recommending this place to others. Not worth it.

The chicken is perfectly seasoned and moist, and the best part is that it's still healthy! You can definitely split this into 2 hearty meals. I like to order all dark meat and get the spicy hummus and maison rice (it has raisins inside!) as my sides. The garlic sauce is not overbearingly garlicky and is just so addicting! I've definitely had better pita bread, but it's acceptable. Spicy gyro sandwich: 5/5. Sooo good! Love that it's loaded with juicy gyros. This is definitely a massive sandwich that will make you super full. The gyros are slightly on the salty side, but the tzatziki balances it out well! All the workers here are very friendly and kind :) There's a pretty small parking lot in the front, but I've never had trouble finding parking because people come and go quickly. There's also a Mcdonald's parking lot right next door for back up!

Even for a large group, our server was very attentive. Everyone picked what they wanted previously and was charged by the person based on their selection. I got the 2 chicken skewers and the chicken was juicy and tender. It was so good I ate the entire thing. The rice was decent, same with the salad with Greek dressing. My favorite was the Jalapeno hummus. It was so good, and had a nice kick to it. They gave us plenty of garlic sauce and pita bread. I really also enjoyed the garlic sauce, I personally prefer a very garlic forward sauce and for my personally it was on the milder side, but still very good. I dod order the Zucchini dumplings, and it was ok. I wasn't a huge fan of it. Maybe the cheese in that I wasn't a fan of. I'm not saying it tasted bad. It was just not my thing.

On one occasion, I arrived about an hour before closing intending to dine in, and I was told I couldn't eat there because "at this hour it's no longer possible." The restaurant was still officially open, yet customers were clearly being turned away. Recently, I came to pick up an order around 8:20 PM, with the restaurant closing at 9:00 PM. By that time, the dining area was already completely cleaned, tables stacked, grill shut down, and the entire place smelled strongly of cleaning chemicals. The atmosphere made it very clear that customers were no longer welcome. As someone who has worked in restaurants, I understand wanting to clean up and go home. However, if you are open until 9:00 PM, the restaurant should feel open until 9:00 PM. This kind of rushed, pre-closing environment creates a very poor impression and raises concerns about food service quality and overall professionalism. Unfortunately, this has happened more than once, and it discourages me from returning as a customer.
