Furn Saj is a family-owned Lebanese bakery and restaurant with three locations in Granada Hills,…read moreCalabasas, and San Diego. This Granada Hills location is the flagship location and it was ranked #39 on Yelp's Top 100 Places to Eat for 2018 ( https://blog.yelp.com/news/yelps-top-100-places-to-eat-for-2018/ ). [Parking]: The bakery and restaurant share the same parking lot as Trader's Joe and I had no issue finding an available parking spot on Saturday afternoon. The bakery and restaurant share the same parking lot as Trader Joe's and I had no issue finding an available parking spot on Saturday afternoon. [Atmosphere & service]: There is a mural with two people baking saj bread and there are about half a dozen tables for in-person dining. I placed an in-person order and unfortunately the service was very slow. I eventually got my order after waiting close to 15 minutes despite the lack of customers. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are Chicken Shawarma, Beef Shawarma, and Spinach Pie. They also have a display case of various baked items. Other items they sell here include Mediterranean specialty pizzas, plates (e.g. lamb gyro), Mediterranean breakfast, and flatbreads. *** Beef Shawarma Wrap (Beef, spread of hummus, fresh tomatoes, onions, and tahini sauce rolled and pressed to a crunchy toast - $18.00): The order came with two wraps. The filling was gooey and messy, but it had a very distinct flavor profile. Not too bad at all. Mini Spinach Pie (Raw spinach mixed with diced onion and sumac herb - 1 piece $2.00): It was not my cup of tea as it tasted very sour. *** A solid 3.5-star for the wrap, but bumped down due to inefficient service.

I'm so glad I finally made it to Zaatar N More! I first heard about this place through my friend…read moreRita, who had brought some of their delicious food to our venue, and after trying it, I knew I had to visit in person. This was my first time there, and the owners were incredibly nice and welcoming. They were genuinely excited to hear that it was my first visit and took the time to give me some great recommendations. You can really feel that this is a family run business where they care about both the food and their customers. Everything we tried was delicious, but the Mannaish with cheese & soujouk was definitely a standout, so flavorful and tasty! The stuffed cheese Mannaish was also fantastic. The food was fresh, full of flavor, and you can tell they put a lot of care into what they make. It's always nice to find a place where the food is great AND the people are genuinely warm and welcoming. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying more of the menu. Thank you to the owners for such a great first experience! Definitely a place I'd recommend.

Short Review: Local spot for really good Mediterranean food…read more Plenty of room for large groups. Friendly staff. Long Review: Found this place on a whim through my fellow Yelpers. Had lunch with a friend who I knew loved Mediterranean food, and this place did not disappoint. The menu is rather simple, with variations of the few meat dishes on there, so that's the variety. On a recommendation from the waitress we both ordered the lamb chops, and I gotta tell you they were the best I've ever had. Hands down. I highly recommend you get them. Don't let the shopping center location fool you. It's nestled in the corner of a strip mall featuring 7/11 on one side and a gas station on the other. Not a lot of parking, since it's all shared, but do t let that deter you. I'd go back here anytime.

We were attending an event at the bookstore next store so it was a no-brainer to give Pi on Sunset…read morea try. Mediterranean food is pretty consistent (ie the same) for my tastes wherever I get it so I was pleasantly surprised by a few elements of Pi. The pies, for example...I tried the Zaatar pie...honestly it was not much more then a thick, airy, freshly made pita with Zataar and olive oil on it...but it's sometimes the simplest things which delight. The Zaatar pie delighted. I tried the Lebanese red wine (I mean, when in a Lebanese restaurant, why not?) And it stood up to any red I'd had anywhere else. The Tabouleh (one of my Mediterranean standards) was fresh made, filling, and a nice companion to the heavier Zaatar pie. It was awfully nice, and unexpected, to get complimentary baklava at the end of the meal...2 generous sized pieces which were pretty indulgent and eliminated the need to get (and pay for) dessert there or anywhere else. Service was lovely...the manager or owner took care of us and made us feel he was truly grateful that we were there. It's also a hookah spot...so if you're not into that vibe or smoke of any kind, (I'm not really) you'll definitely smell that anywhere you are in the restaurant, even if you're not seated next to those using hookahs. If you've got a hankering for Mediterranean...especially a place that has some unique things not at other Mediterranean spots, definitely give Pi on Sunset a shot.

I'm honestly so disappointed in the lunch that was ordered for us today. A group of us didn't bring…read morefood because we were told lunch would be provided. Unfortunately, it was a complete letdown. The sandwich was extremely unappetizing. The bread was soggy and falling apart, and the filling looked and tasted like it had been sitting out way too long. It didn't feel fresh at all, and several of us couldn't even finish it. The fries were even worse, they tasted stale, like they were at least a day or two old, and had that chewy, reheated texture instead of being crispy. Definitely not something anyone would want to eat.

You could tell this wasn't just a transaction -- it was clear how much care goes into every table. We were celebrating the life of a dear friend that evening, and this restaurant helped make it a truly special, memorable part of the night. Highly recommend Mediterranean Bistro for both the food and the heart behind it!

The friendly voice responded to my question with an answer of 'At lunch, at dinner, even at breakfast! It's always breakfast!' Well they certainly have Hubs' number! Large lot had plenty of parking when we arrived at 2pm and it was quiet; noice. We were greeted warmly right away and told to sit anywhere. I wanted something light and filled with protein. I opted for the Chicken Pesto Sandwich; hold the bread. It was ok, served on a generous bed of fresh spinach, but lacking the sun-dried tomato and no pesto garlic sauce, which it describes being tossed in. The Jack cheese looked like Kroger single slices. The side fries were thin and crispy, cooked just right. Hubs ordered the breakfast Three Egg Meat Combo: opted for burger patty, French fries in lieu of roasted red potatoes or fruit and toast over banana bread. He was very happy with his meal and said he would like to go back. While I thought the food was fine, the hospitality, attentiveness and Hubs happiness, will keep us coming back. Cheers! "CC"

This is not my first time at Emle's, and my experience has been relatively consistent across all my…read morevisits. Food: 3.5/5 The star of the show is the banana bread. It's moist with a crispy outer edge and the right amount of salt to taste but not be salty. Most of the items on the menu have pretty large portion sizes, and there is a vast selection of items. Nothing shouts out at us to give the food an upstanding 5/5, but this is still a solid pick for an American diner. Note that if you order anything with strawberries (including the fruit cup), you will get exactly 1 strawberry cut into 4 pieces to ration during your meal. Service: 2.5/5 There is one person manning the floor the majority of the time, and he does a good job managing multiple tables. We came in at 9 am on a workday and there were already 25 people in the restaurant, all managed by this one waiter. There is another person who pops in every now and then to deliver food and refill coffee. That said, don't expect to be checked in on often or to quickly get your order in. Also, special requests may or may not be satisfied-- I requested that the whipped cream in my waffle order came on the side, only for it to come right in the middle of my waffle. Atmosphere: 4/5 It's a lively place! This is a popular and long lasting restaurant for a reason. The music is not loud, and there is a comfortable amount of space between each table. I would recommend this place for a family meal, a casual work outing, or a date for an established couple. Final rating: 3.33/5 (rounding down to 3 on Yelp)

Lol I guess I'm an outsider here but that was odd. I came in on a weekday evening and ordered some takeout which was prepared reasonably quickly and the flavors were fantastic! The price is a bit steep but I think the rice was delightful and everything had an excellent flavor. If I were totally budget unconstrained I would love to bring a big group here and really enjoy the full menu. However, if you sit in the restaurant too long you will absolutely be second hand smoking. My eyes were watering after about 10-15 minutes--or perhaps the kebabs made me emotional!
