4. Meal Combos MIX (Double Combo) Chicken & BEEF
Alberto R.

Enjoyed my meal at this place! Great service and great food. Me & the fam got the Mixed Grill Combo & the double combo with chicken and beef shawarma. Shawarma was crispy and juicy! Fed all 3 of us no problem. They did not skimp out on the portions either! Came with a mountain of fries! Theres plenty of space inside and outside with lots of parking available. I recommend

6. Bowl
Sana A.

We had come here after hearing a lot of stories about how authentic their shawarma's are... we ordered their beef and chicken shawarma both are a foot long and very filling . We also ordered their bowl with rice base and protein topped with salads, pickles, hummus and garlic sauce.. it was huge and delicious... their service was top notch.. although it had basic interior but it was clean and tidy. Definitely my go to shawarma place

We showed up with a little over an hour to spare before closing. Typical Saturday night house music filled the dining area. Both gentlemen were quick to greet us and help once we were ready to order. Food is def halal and freshly made to order, presentation is there along with explosions of flavor. It's a bit interesting to arrive because of the bridge construction BUT SOOOO worth it !!

Yummm! my dad and I came here for lunch and had the best time. Everything here is high quality!

Falafel bowl

Food is fresh and very flavorful. Garlic sauce was a little bland but much better than overly garlic. Very nice presentation of the food and will definitely be back. Staff super nice to everyone and very appreciative of business. You won't be disappointed.

Shawarma

10/10 The food is soooo good! The fries were perfectly crispy, and the sauces were amazing. But the shawarmas... absolutely delicious!!! The service was friendly and the place was very clean. Highly recommend!

Single Meal Combo (Beef Shawarma)
Gladys P.

We've been to many Mediterranean restaurants in Corona and out of all of them, loved Levanty's beef kabob the best. So juicy and tender. Interesting location, right next to the bridge. Lots of parking available. The guy behind the counter was super friendly and was really interested in our opinion of their food. He even had us try their newest item which isn't on the menu yet, fried chicken that is so tasty and crunchy with a little bit of a kick. Highly recommend!

#9 Chicken meal

The food was amazing. Steaming hot when it was served to us, fresh made to order nan bread. Humus = chef's kiss ‍ I order the #9 and my friend order the #7. Both the chicken and steak were great. Cooked to perfection!! 10/10 recommend!!

Eastern Mediterranean cuisine (described as Levantine) is served here. That style of cooking has influences from countries including Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Palestine, Turkey. The menu is simple and features foods I would imagine are typical street food fare. And if you are health conscious, you already know that overall the Mediterranean diet is a good way to go. Being a new business, I had patiently waited to give them a chance to overcome some of the early snafus. So, now, they have been open about 10 months. The reviews looked promising and authentic. First impressions, the location is problematic at the moment. They are negatively impacted by the painfully huge construction project projected to be completed later this year (2025). It includes the building of a large suspension bridge that takes vehicle traffic over the railroad tracks at McKinley and the making of some rather bizarre off-ramps. Finding the access points into the complex's large parking lot where Levanty is located is unpleasant and confusing to those unfamiliar to the area. Good luck with that. Hopefully all of that will improve, but while chaotic, it would not keep me from returning. Once you go inside, you will discover a small, neat, clean kitchen and attractive, small dining area with 4-5 tables at best. Ordering is done at the counter and food is delivered to your table. There is one small table outside, but the ongoing construction makes it dusty and unpleasant to sit outside, currently. We had a very filling and satsfying meal. The menu is limited, but besides chicken and beef, you can also find falafel, a vegetarian/vegan option, here. Nice and feel-good healthy! We started with the Baba Ganoush appetizer. It was nicely done, creamy, generously drizzled with olive oil. Their version was delicious but not as smoky tasting as some I have had. It was served with fresh, super thin lavish bread that was lightly toasted on the griddle. Addictive! I ordered a shawarma bowl and requested half beef-half chicken. $15. The beef and the chicken, are cooked on a traditional vertical spit, then shaved off when ordered. Both meats were delicious, with crispy edges, in spite of looking overcooked. The seasoning blend is their own recipe, exotic and uncommonly wonderful, but I could have sworn the beef tasted more like lamb, slightly gamey, than beef. Not a problem for me, I love lamb regardless, but they assured me it was beef. A creamy tahini sauce is drizzled on top of the meat. It was served over a seasoned yellow rice that I found to be irresistable. I further customized my order by requesting tabouleh (finely chopped parsley, herbs and spices, and cracked bulgur wheat salad) instead of their regular house salad, and was happy I did. The bowl also included a scoop of delicious hummus topped with olive oil. I enjoyed my bowl and would get this again. The cut of beef for their beef kabob is filet mignon. Mr. B ordered the double kabob plate, $29, so there was plenty to bring home. Deliciously seasoned and very tender, the kabob is served over a pile of rice as well, but the rice, more orange in color, appeared to be seasoned slightly differently than the yellow rice. It came with a crisp lettuce and cucumber salad with a spicy dressing, homemade pickle, and hummus. A word of warning for those who may not care for hot spices, the dressing contains Aleppo pepper, a red pepper that packs some heat. That was yet another reason why I was glad I chose the really good tabouleh instead. They have canned soda, some interesting, imported sodas, and bottled water. There are no desserts on their menu. They also have a couple of options for family and party sized meals. It looks like you get a lot of food for your money. I saw no indicators that this place is Halal, other than on this Yelp site, neither in signage nor printed on their menu. But when asked, they confirmed it was. Personally, I would think they would be proud to draw in those who only eat Halal, if it is so. I would enthusiastically urge you to give Levanty a try. This is a good option for putting on your rotation of international foods. Closed on Mondays.

Chicken 1. Original Wraps

My new obsession, I find myself making excuses to come to riverside so I can a box for Levanty lol. It's very hidden and it's past the bridge, about south east. All is fresh and I believe it's hallal. The chicken wraps is the star of the show, the beef shawarma is juicy and tender with lots of flavor, and the kefta is perfection!!! Please open more stores towards Fontana. Guys, for 12 bucks you can get a healthy & delicious meal. 4 stars because there's not another location close to me lol

Falafel
Enrique D.

Entered the place roughly around 1:00pm on a Friday. It's basically you order at the counter and get your own canned drink in the ref. The place has roughly 4-5 tables x 4 seats per. So roughly 20-25 could fit. So it's small and definitely just for quick bites. When I arrived almost all the tables are occupied. I ordered to go, and got their lunch special which had a wrap, either beef or chicken, fries, and a soft drink. I also got a side order of falafel. 6 pcs for 5 dollars with tahini sauce. The service was quick and prompt. I saw the cashier / (which seemed to me as the owner) got my order, then went to cook the falafel I ordered. While the other staff, assembled all the other orders... Got my order quick and checked out the items on the way home. The falafel was wayyy flavorful compared to other places. It had the right texture. On the other hand, the tahini sauce was a little watered down. It was good that this was placed in a foiled line bag. The chicken shawarma was pretty good. I was actually surprised that they didn't serve garlic sauce on the side as some places would.... but after a few bites, I understood. It was already incorporated in the shawarma. The chicken was moist and flavorful. According to my middle eastern friends, this was extremely similar to the ones they have back at home. They all like it too. Unfortunately, the fries were meh. You can skip ordering it. If it comes with the meal, that would be fine, otherwise. It's a skip for me. Would i be back, I will. :) Good food. Only problem is the traffic in the area. Also... lunch special is 11-3pm it has a wrap, fries and drinks. Pretty good deal if you ask me.

Absolutely love supporting new local food businesses, finally got to stop in this one today and was a bit let down. I understand when a new business team is finding their footing, testing what works or not and i'd absolutely return if i saw the owners take customer feedback for positive change. Food (3/5) - Not a very complex menu, but with most food of this type there is an expectation of complex taste. I don't feel that was met when we tried the beef shawarma wrap. While the price seems fair for a large portion, and the beef was cooked well, the wrap itself lacked depth. In the attached picture, that was about the extent of the flavor offered, just being 95% beef, a bit of sauce and very few pickled onions which rendered it to be pretty plain. With extra veggies or even pickles on the side, it would have been great. Service (3/5) Not a demand, just an observation that the staff here don't come off as very friendly (but hardworking). No greeting at the door/exit, or much interaction or information when asking about the menu. When we visited it was averagely busy for a small restaurant and waited a bit over 10mins for our wraps (reasonable) but it made sense about other reviews mentioning hefty wait times if it were to be busy. Ambiance (2/5) - The location will be great after nearby construction completes, but the interior setup really needs some revision. Upon entering, the order register is directly in front of the door but the menu isn't very readable from there, so the line isn't very convenient for a new customer. There are to-go boxes piled very high on every surface on the counters besides directly in front of the order register. This makes it very awkward to receive orders if there's people in line placing orders (the only spot without boxes). I watched like 4 people besides myself have to sheepishly reach over a pile of boxes to grab their to go hoping to not knock them over. Everything else is fine and new, just feels like it's more implied the focus is fast food takeout/delivery.

Added a tofu skewer and a vegetable skewer. The vegetables were packed separately with care for the vegetarians at my house...THANK YOU! The order was NOT ready at the time it was supposed to be, but they hooked us up with hummus as service recovery. The only things off-putting to me was that there's a code for the restroom even though there's more than one stall. A couple of us were standing around waiting for no reason until the lady came out and said "there's more than one stall in there!" The other thing that was off-putting is an employee walked in (uniform on) with her kids and walked into the kitchen with her kids with her. The kids were walking in and out of the kitchen area multiple times with no supervision (where did mom go?!) They eventually walked out with open cups of drinks. Not too sanitary and no one said anything to her or the kids that I could hear.

I am so disappointed, as much I have loved their food I will not go back. Today I picked up an $800 catering order that I placed. Huge pans of skewers, rice, salads, etc. I had to pick this order up by myself and had already made two trips to my car. The pans were really hot and the protein pans were heavy, so I politely asked the gentleman working there if he could please help me carry the rest of food to my car. It was obvious I was struggling and I still had more trips to make. He did not seem thrilled, but gave a reluctant sure, next thing I know the woman who was also there working interrupts and hands me two paper bags to use as make shift oven mitts to carry my own items since the pans were hot, I pretty much got an unspoken you can carry it out by yourself because they said nothing to me at all proceeded with what they were doing and ignored me. As I was struggling to get through their door through their patio another guest saw me struggling and opened for the door for me. I carried the rest out and on my last trip in I told the woman working that I was upset with placing such a large order and struggling to carry it, it was disappointing to be completely disregarded after asking for help. She informed me they are not allowed to leave the premises which is fine, however they didn't even explain that to me after I asked just handed me paper bags as make shift oven mitts and basically a "good luck - you're on your own," turned around and went back to what they were doing. They could have at least held the door for me, the restaurant was empty. I unfortunately will never come back here or cater my business lunches here again.
