It feels like the food is made with care and in trusted hands. There's seating inside and a few tables outside if you want something more casual. My go-to is the chicken plate, which comes with two skewers, rice, salad, and a side of hummus (I usually sub for babaganoush). The chicken is juicy and perfectly grilled, the rice is sooo fluffy and flavorful, and the tabbouleh is fresh and lemony. The hummus and babaganoush are both super creamy and come with warm pita bread. I've also tried their falafel, which is really delicious too. Overall, consistently fresh, flavorful food and genuinely kind people running the place. Definitely a go-to spot if you're craving Mediterranean and something healthy.

I finally got to eat at Tel Aviv Grill and boy do they have the goods. Everything is so fresh, I…read morelove the zhkuge spicy green sauce, their homemade hummus was fire. Definitely go with the laffa bread for the wrap. Their plates are solid too. I personally love their shawarma both the beef and chicken are fire but the beef is superior. Their portions are unreal, they are consistently unreal in how much they serve you. I appreciate this particular location as they have more than enough seating, they are generously staffed with plenty of cooks, hosts, bus boys, etc. this is a well oiled machine. There are clean restrooms available and even a sink in the hallway in case you just need to wash your hands. My experience here was truly elite, for that I couldn't recommend this restaurant enough. They have a huge shared private parking lot. There are many solid businesses in this plaza, so be sure to check out Im idan med spa, Rasputin, Core Power Yoga, a gorgeous hair salon in the back and so much more. Solid assortment of businesses not to mention, across the street there are a grip of businesses too. You could literally get everything done here. Tel Aviv Grill, please consider the following locations to open more locations. Westwood, Northridge, Porter Ranch, West Hills, Warner Center, Westlake Village, Malibu. Please do us all a favor and open more locations, thank you. Lastly, in case if anyone is wondering, one order of the wrap or plate (doesn't matter) can easily feed two full grown adults.

The chicken shawarma plate (~$26) was delicious and so was the schnitzel pita (~$20). I usually don't love falafel but I got theirs to try and it wasn't dry and had a lot of flavor. The one thing I didn't personally like was the eggplant, but I usually don't like that vegetable anyway. Great quick Mediterranean option!

I prefer pita sandwiches that are cut open and stuffed, rather than rolled up like a burrito the way they do here; the latter compresses everything together into a mush and can drip the contents out the back end, which is exactly what happened when I tried eating this one. This would matter less if the felafel were really good, but these were almost completely tasteless and mushy, no nice crisp exterior. In fact, they were falling apart as I was eating. The hummus was okay. Not bad, but nothing special. And the pita bread they included with it was cold, not warm and fresh. Maybe there are other items on the menu that justify the five star reviews. But the felafel and hummus certainly do not, and I'm not sure I'd want to experiment further.

The ambiance was spectacular and the open air by the French door and lovely background music were certainly a bonus. The best Persian food around by far. Highly recommended

I had a very disappointing experience at Shirin Restaurant. Before driving there, I called…read morespecifically to ask if they had ghormeh sabzi and tahdig because those were the main reasons I wanted to visit. I was told they had both. However, after I arrived, I was informed that they actually didn't have either item. It was frustrating to make the trip based on incorrect information. To make matters worse, our waiter, who was an older Hispanic man, was rude and dismissive throughout the visit. Instead of trying to help or apologizing for the misinformation, he made the experience feel uncomfortable and unwelcoming. Good customer service starts with accurate communication and treating guests with respect, and unfortunately this restaurant fell short on both. I hope the restaurant improves its communication with customers and provides better customer service in the future, but based on my experience, I don't plan on returning.

I was looking for a new SFV Kabob place and came up with Ash's Grill on Tampa and Sherman Way. It…read moreis located in a small strip mall, with only six tables for inside dining. Three of them have two chairs each, while the others have 4 chairs. The menu is laminated and comes with numerous mediterranean dishes, and yes, there are kabobs. I chose the beef lule kabob entree, that comes with two minced kabobs, rice, grilled tomato, jalapeno and a very small cucumber tomato salad, some hummus too, all plated together. I also ordered their thick yoghurt with shallots to accompany the menu item. The Kabobs were grilled to order, could have used more flavor and were slightly overcooked. Overall, the components blended harmoniously. What stood out was their pita bread, grilled just right and so pillow soft on the inside. That with the yoghurt was absolutely divine. There was also a starter that came with the dish. I chose the lentil soup over the salad. Wow, an excellent selection. The perfect temperature, a nice mix of spices, warm aroma, enticing flavor and tongue feel. This introduction may have surpassed the rest that was to follow. I would go there specially to get the lentil soup alone, to go. Service here was high class, attentive and friendly. Definitely, worth a repeat visit.
