Quarter chicken plate
Les L.

The chicken and schmaltzy potatoes at Kismet are must orders. They serve an excellent rotisserie chicken and, as is natural, the potatoes are excellent as well - flavorful and crisp with roughed up edges. They come with hummus and a very tart, bright salad. The pita is excellent fresh but is a bit tough as it ages. I'm still figuring out what the best things to order here because their sauces and seasoning can be a bit much. I didn't like the flavors of the gingery onions in their California Pita sandwich which comes with chicken, gingery turmeric roasted onions, cucumbers, yogurt sauce, arugula.

i went 3 times in a week and each time was a 10/10 experience! no wait each time, and the food came out fast. highly recommend the chicken plate which includes all the sides. the lettuce wedge with miso poppy dressing is such a hidden gem -- how do they make something so basic so scrumptious that i keep coming back for it?! the yellow pickled cabbage also paired soo well with the chicken. the perfect bite is having a little of everything, including the the garlic sauce. the interior is clean and modern with lots of natural light shining in, which makes the small space feel pretty spacious.

When the menu is nice and simple you know the food is good. The chicken is perfectly cooked and delicious and juicy. Super healthy that does not sacrifice on flavor. The interior is very clean and nice, and the staff are super friendly and helpful.

This is such a cute spot for delicious Mediterranean food! Upon entering on a weekday early evening, my friend and I were loving how simple yet sleek the interior was. The employees were happy to take our order and answer any questions we had, as it was our first time there. My friend and I shared schmaltzy potatoes and a half chicken plate, which comes with hummus, wedge salad, pickles, 2 pitas, chili oil, and garlic sauce. It was plenty of food for 2 people! We especially loved the chili oil and garlic sauce - we have never heard of chili oil served with rotisserie chicken and pita bread and we are so happy we tried the combo because it was DELICIOUS! Excellent chicken and hummus as well. We definitely want to try this place again and try more of their options!

Just the cutest little restaurant that has fresh & delicious Mediterranean food! I split the chicken plate for 2 with a side of schmaltzy potatoes. More than enough food! Came with chicken, salad, hummus, pita, pickled veggies, etc. Reminds me of everything I would get from zankou but with a fancy & fresh flare. Service was friendly and prompt. The interior makes you so happy! Definitely recommend

Whole chicken...divine!

A certain app that starts with "I" (not the 'gram), known for delivering groceries, has been branching out into restaurant delivery and enticed me to order from Kismet Rotisserie with a special offer. I'd been a fan of the East Hollywood restaurant for years and didn't need much convincing. On a cold, drizzly day, I decided to order a whole chicken and a carrot ginger drink for lunch. (When you work from home, you need to treat yourself now and then.) Service was extremely prompt, and the chicken was piping hot. This was definitely a great rotisserie chicken, crisp skin with plump, juicy meat. The chili oil and garlic sauce, very generous portions, were the perfect accompaniments. And the carrot ginger drink was the perfect pairing. I'm so glad that Kismet has maintained their excellent standards and that I don't have to go out to have their great food. Five stars all the way.

These crispy potatoes! They stole the show. The chicken breast was a little bit on the dry side, sadly, but I would definitely try their chicken again, perhaps opting for a sandwich instead of the half bird. The pita and hummus were divine. I honestly think it's the best I've had in a really long time. Everything was so flavorful and garlicky and fragrant, this place was a hit! The service could be friendlier but maybe they were having a rough day? Parking was a bit of a pain but there is a side lot if you are willing to wait during the busy lunch hour! All in all a solid 4/5.

Randomly noticed this place on the way to the gym and decided to look it up on yelp as I'd seen the name somewhere before. I saw from one of the reviews that this location opened a few weeks ago and figured I'd give it a try. I'm glad I did! There were a decent amount of people in the restaurant eating, as well as some grabbing to go orders which was a good sign. I also enjoyed the window into the kitchen, watching as they prepared orders and the rotisserie chickens. I ordered the chicken caesar pita and a side of the schmaltzy potatoes and a hibiscus cooler. Everything was good and very fresh. Also love the little pocket of dill I hit in the pita sandwich.

Chicken pita sandwich

So yeah, I've found one of the best potato dishes around these parts. A co-worker recommended this spot, calling Kismet's schmaltzy potatoes to unalive for. Based on that testimony alone, I had to try these bad boys. It was a little out of the way for me on this hot, low-energy day, so I called in for delivery. Ordered the following: - Schmaltzy Potatoes - 8.7/10: Wow, man, so good. I'm pretty sure they're fried, or they could be baked, but what makes them so good is how crispy they are on the outside and super fluffy on the inside. They're seasoned nicely as well and they give you a generous amount for a more than fair price. Addictive for sure. Came with this garlic dipping sauce that just was a perfect complement for this dish. - Chicken Pita - 7.5/10: Solid dish with heaping amounts of shredded rotisserie chicken. All this stuffed in a large pita pocket. My only complaint about this dish is that I wished they had cut the onions a little thinner. They're too big. Otherwise, solid sandwich. I'll definitely come back for the rotisserie chicken.

Space is bright and cheery, with enough seating to make a Sunday lunch fun and festive.

We all got the chicken plate (2 breasts and a dark meat) and were impressed with the sides, but not the chicken (over cooked and dry). My wife loved the smooth and creamy hummus, but I thought it was a bit bland. We all loved the wedge, pickled cabbage and other veg, but beware of the little pepper because it will light your mouth on fire if you take more than a nibble. With better chicken, it would have easily earned that fifth star. (And as a side note, they have a pretty tasty chocolate chip/tahini cookie.)

A cute space, and good food. It stays quite busy, and the inside space is very small, so it feels crowded really easily. My friend and I ate outside for this reason. I had a kids plate and it was great! (Chicken, veggies, pita, and hummus). My friend got a pita... The special of the month, and she enjoyed it, but found that it did not have very much chicken in it.

Schmaltzy Potatoes and extra side of chicken

I am unsure why it took me so long to try this place but it was BEYOND solid! We got the chicken plate so it was such a great and complete meal! The chicken was so juicy and flavorful! We of course could not NOT get the schmaltzy potatoes! That was heavenly! I loved it so much and have been telling friends left and right about this place! So good! Hope they expand more east!

Food was fresh fresh fresh, delicious, was made in a timely manor, and did I mention delicious!!!? The staff was so kind and pleasant, they spoke to you like human beings and not an automated "hi how can i help you, stare into blank space when you speak to them" kind of interaction! The vibe of the restaurant is not only absolutely adorable and retro feeling but clean and welcoming! Great first experience, we will be back without a doubt!

Gorgeous interior

It's always great to see pizza spots offering slices to go or slices to enjoy inside. The location on Fair Oaks in the busy streets of Old Town Pasadena. Parking garages are all nearby or street parking around the building. The location has a number of tables and TVs to enjoy the games. The staff here were super friendly and made us feel very welcome. There were an abundance of ready made slices to select. Per the staff, they have vegan cheese options for whole pizzas, but none for ready made slices. Just as an FYI. They also offer a number of sandwiches as well. The number of items is vast and of great variety. Now for the pizza. The selection was a mix NY slices and square slices. I was looking for some to go. So I decided on the squares cause I love those slices! I went with Pepperoni Grandma and a Pepperoni Honey DeNiro. The staff will heat it up for you on the oven and even cut slices in half to enjoy them. I loved the flavors and the crisp edges. It had a great crunch in each bite and taste was solid. My favorite of the too was the Pepperoni Honey DeNiro. The hot honey on this slice made this option stand out to me. The mix of sweet and savory paired with heat is my kind of combo of flavor. :) I would come back again if I'm craving pizza and would think of the trying a sandwich too in the future because their menu looked good. Thanks, Brooklyn Square! ( ^_^)b

Hurts me to write a 3-star review update, but Father Nature just isn't as good as I remember…read more Service was pretty mid; while the woman at the counter said all the right things, her tone and overall vibe just didn't feel welcoming. To be fair, I did come in after the lunch rush, so maybe it was just a long day. What really bummed me out was my order. The French Connection used to be my favorite, but this time it had way less filling and just wasn't satisfying. I also ordered a cup of chicken, which was the same small serving as before, but now it's almost $8; not really worth it for what you get. I love supporting small businesses and have enjoyed Father Nature in the past, but honestly, I'm not sure I'll be back anytime soon.

This café in old town Pasadena has been around since 1984. I personally have been going there for…read moreat least 16 years as it was down the street from my previous office. There are so many Middle Eastern cafés and restaurants in town, but this one always stood out to me. It is extremely fresh and flavorful they make the food after you order and Service is warm and friendly. The quality has never wavered and trust me, I have eaten here many times. I enjoy their pressed wraps, but especially love the fries. I am picky about fries, but these are always made to order and always just perfect. It has a Middle Eastern seasoning on it which you can opt to leave off. I love them with a dipping sauce of spicy tahini, which they will provide if you ask. You can of course get it non-spicy as well. Their menu can satisfy many different diets including vegetarian/vegan, keto/low carb, pescatarian and meat eaters It's just extremely reliable and high-quality and I plan on continuing to be a regular customer.
