The layers are perfectly crisp and buttery, and they are incredibly generous with the nuts. Every bite is rich, fragrant, and perfectly sweet without being overwhelming. What makes it even better is the experience: the owners are some of the kindest, most welcoming people you'll meet. You can truly feel the care and pride that goes into what they make. If you're a baklava lover, this place is 100% worth the visit. I will be back!

We made a stop here because my kids LOVE Turkish delight, but they can also be extremely picky lol. We got a small mixed container and they absolutely loved the pomegranate and rose petal. Just the right amount of tart and sweetness! My daughter loved it so much she has been asking if we could stop back on our way home to pick up more. We also picked up knafeh and diamond shaped baklavas. Perfect chew, crunch and sweetness. So freakin' good! You can tell the owner is passionate about his craft. He asked us if it was our first time there, then took the time to share samples with us. So welcoming and friendly! I can see why this place has a nearly perfect yelp rating. Will definitely need to make a trip back!!

This original location remains my recommended spot for Mediterranean food. Many Mediterranean…read morerestaurants in Fresno County are Armenian-owned, while only a small handful--like this family-run restaurant--specialize in Lebanese cuisine. Lebanese food is widely considered among the best expressions of Mediterranean cooking due to its vibrant use of fresh ingredients, particularly herbs, lemon, garlic, and olive oil, along with a strong emphasis on healthy, plant-based, and grilled dishes. It offers diverse, shareable, and nutrient-dense options such as tabbouleh, hummus, and falafel, making it both flavorful and nutritious. I always enjoy dining at Golden Grill because they exemplify Lebanese cuisine so well. Their dishes highlight fresh herbs like mint and parsley, along with garlic and lemon juice, rather than relying heavily on spices. The result is a light, refreshing, and aromatic flavor profile that feels both vibrant and balanced. The kebabs are excellent. The grilled cubes of beef, chicken, and kafta (ground beef and lamb) skewers are flavorful, tender, and juicy, topped with herbs and grilled to perfection. They carry a subtle smokiness and savory aroma, and the meats are beautifully charred with vibrant color. Their pita and saj sandwiches are also very well done. Each sandwich is warm and carefully assembled, forming a sturdy pocket filled with high-quality ingredients. They combine savory meats (or falafel and vegetables), creamy sauces, and crunchy pickles and onions into a balanced bite. The bread holds generous fillings without collapsing while still being tender enough to bite through easily. The pocket opens cleanly, creating the perfect pouch for the ingredients. For a small restaurant with limited seating that appears to receive many to-go orders, the presentation for dine-in guests is especially thoughtful. The dishes are served on clean white ceramic plates and trays, with the food carefully arranged and portions balanced. It is simple yet elegant and visually appealing. Golden Grill also captures the Lebanese mezze-style dining experience. As someone of Korean heritage, I appreciate this approach, since it is similar to how Korean meals are served with many shared dishes that provide variety in every meal. Some of the shared plates include Lebanese staples like hummus, falafel, tabbouleh, baba ghanouj, and fresh flatbread. Everything here tastes fresh and well-prepared, with distinct textures and aromatic flavors. The signature entrées come with two cold appetizers. The hummus is silky smooth, a velvety blend of garbanzo beans and tahini that almost melts in your mouth. The baba ghanouj is creamy, garlicky, and finished with olive oil. The tabbouleh is bright and balanced with lemon juice, garlic, and a generous drizzle of olive oil that ties together the citrusy and earthy flavors. The restaurant itself is clean, with tables and chairs wiped down quickly after guests leave. Service is friendly, welcoming, and helpful when placing orders. Prices are also reasonable, especially considering many competing Mediterranean restaurants do not place the same emphasis on presentation or on creating a mezze-style dining experience at no additional cost. While some may prefer other Mediterranean cuisines, I personally enjoy the fresh, light, and diverse flavors that Lebanese food offers. Golden Grill's citrus-forward dishes and extensive mezze options make it one of my favorite Mediterranean spots.

This is our go to spot for grilled meat, hummus, naan. The meat has great flavor, its juicy, cooked just right! The hummus is the best one we've had in fresno (and we've tried alot). We always order our food and pick it up, we haven't eaten it there in the restaurant but i dont see that being a problem if we did decide. We love eating grilled meat Golden Grill never disappoints! We will always come here for our grilled meat, we know its gonna come out just the way we like it. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. We have tried this cedar location and the one on Willow and both have wonderful customer service and great food!

Sooooo, we didn't get burgers or standard American food except the pastrami sando. I'm not going to say don't come here for that as I don't know how good they are for those. What I will say tho is COME FOR THE YEMENI FOOD!!! ORDER: Chicken Madhbi Lamb Mandi Whole Fish Pastrami sando Good golly, GET THE FISH & LAMB!!! Both were cooked to perfection w/HUGE platters of tasty rice & very fresh salad. Don't miss out on those as they're delicious & great value for how much you get. Pastrami sando & fries were good. Chicken was kinda dry & overcooked. Would try the chicken marfoon next time. No joke, this is a hidden gem. We'll be regulars here for sure! Will be hard to pull away from the Yemeni food, but we should try their burgers & other stuff sometime too. Did I mention the fish & lamb were amazing? Haha

I'm Lebanese who had a mother who was a great cook. I know what I'm talking about . The menu has several dishes that are real home cooking. I had several appetizers, which is the way to do it. Hummus, teboule, grape leaves, falafel, all good. I thought the kibbie was too much bulgur on the outside shell. My mother made them meatier. The ones here had a crunch. Too much burger. Service was very nice. They were a little short staffed at lunch, but that was ok. This is not your usual Lebanese place. The menu has depth. I'm from out of town, but Golden Grill is the real deal. You can tell by how many Arab people were eating there.

Service was quick and friendly. It wasn't really busy yet, so our food came out fairly quick in about 15 minutes. Both the sliders and tacos were very good!
