    Thank You  guys for stepping in.
    Jennifer W.

    Hero's amongst us, Earthly Angels. I wasn't going to write this review since it's not about the food. I'd like to thank the group of Men who stood up to protect my friend and I eating at Daphne's. A one eyed homeless man walked in and circled our table a couple times. His energy was off and within seconds this man's vile behavior was directed towards me. I chucked my phone in my purse ready to swing it to create distance, I kinda blanked out because I'm not sure of the details. As soon as he stepped towards me the whole restaurant of MEN stood up and chased him out. I later learned he's been there before and has caused trouble. Since I was not hurt I don't feel I can make a report, but I do feel strongly that the restaurant should do a No Trespass on this guy for liability reasons. He's definitely elevated his level of engagement with people and someone will eventually get hurt. I won't return here due to this incident , it wasn't his first or last time targeting women. BTW my food was great, but I didn't get to finish it since I was pumped with adrenaline. My fight or flight response probably wasn't normal, and I apologize if I put others in danger. I'm truly thankful for the people who saw it coming a mile away and did the right thing.

    Manager /register was completely rude the cook in the kitchen had better manners . ............................

    Hair that I pulled from my salad
    Bryan C.

    Went on a Sunday night a little after six. I try to give all restaurants the benefit of the doubt during Covid but this one I couldnt skip over... Got the mix plate with gyros and chicken skewer. The gyros were bland. They did not have the crust or color they should have and were mush. The chicken skewer was so dry it was inedible. Four bites into my salad I found a hair... hopefully they do better when things return to normal but right now I won't go back

    This is what I was given as 4 pita breads

    If I could give this place no stars I would . So I went in to order gyros and the lady Infor med me that for the price of the sandwiches sir would be a bette r deal to get their plate . Informing Mt that I would get 4 pita breads per each plate . If you look at the pictures ! It does not add up . Them I asked to buy more bread and was informed it was 1.0" per piece !! Omg are you kidding me . Then when I asked about the 2 soda at I ordered she acted like I had just kicked her dog . VERY VERY RUDE PEOPLE !! Never have I been to a place and been treated so bad . I WILL NEVER GO HERE AGAIN .

    This is a copy of how much I paid for this tiny amount of food... I have never over paid for so little.

    Fake Greek food for people who have never had real Greek food. Instead go to Al Hamra Halal or Chicken Maison nearby.

    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 friend, who's been coming here for years, highly recommended Al Hamra and we weren't…read moredisappointed! The food was full of flavor, and the portions were generous. 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.

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.

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.
