    Chilaquiles
    Orlando P.

    I really wanted to love these chilaquiles... but they came out fighting me instead The chicken tasted like it clocked in straight from a Costco bag no seasoning, just vibes. The red sauce? Missing in action. I kept waiting for flavor to show up... it never RSVP'd. Then came the beans just poured on top like they were trying to cover up a crime scene. I see what you did there but it didn't save it. Food took about 20 minutes, which isn't terrible... but for something this mid, it felt like a long 20. Pricing? Definitely paying premium for a struggle plate. I've had way better for way less. Overall: 2/10 (and that's me being generous) Would I come back? Only if the chef decides to season something... anything.

    Main Kitchen Cafe was a good breakfast spot! Parking it's mostly street parking with a small lot on the side. Our server was friendly. The food was good too. We ordered the steak and eggs, which came with potatoes on the side, and they cook the eggs exactly how you like them. It definitely hit the spot. We also tried the El Dorado burrito with chorizo, tomatoes, and eggs. I added avocado inside, and I highly recommend doing the same; it made the burrito even better. Overall the experience was good and we will come back to try the other dishes.

    On our drive to Camarillo for some outlet shopping, we decided to find a breakfast spot. My wife googled "breakfast near me" and found Main Kitchen Cafe. A quick reroute from the 118 freeway and we were in Granada Hills. We found the restaurant and had no trouble finding a parking space. The restaurant is definitely a diamond in the rough. The local businesses are of various nature so this great little cafe stands out. The decor provides a warm and inviting environment. We were greeted warmly by a waitress, Noemy, who eventually seated us and took our order. Coffee and hot chocolate were delivered soon after and our meals came quickly as well. My wife's Lemon Ricotta Blueberry pancakes were delicious. My Chicken Fried Steak with eggs, biscuit and gravy and potatoes was excellent. The potatoes were a highlight of the dish. Very yummy!!! Oh, and Noemy was attentive and friendly and provided excellent care for our first visit to this popular neighborhood cafe. Though the restaurant is about 20 miles from our home, we definitely will be back when we are headed to points west from our home.

    What a treat!!! If you like ricotta cheese, the blueberry ricotta pancakes are a must!! Great service and Delicious food.

    First time trying this local Granada Hills restaurant. Gathering with neighbors for a gab sesh over breakfast on Boxing Day. Despite the rain, the restaurant was warm and cozy and we arrived just before 9am, ahead of the weary crowds of post holiday diners. We were seated right away and drink orders delivered promptly. Questions about food substitutes was handled efficiently and friendly, with some additional suggestions which is appreciated. Food arrived within 15 mins of order so the kitchen was in top form. Everything looked delicious and, between bits of gossip, the reviews were positive. We stayed well after the plates had cleared. I don't believe we were keeping customers from the table, but we also weren't rushed by the staff. While we were a group of 4, I think this lovely spot would be best for intimate settings of 2. I would definitely recommend MKC as a meeting spot. While I opted for a basic parfait, after too much holiday indulging it was a light, refreshing break. Strawberries and blueberries were fresh, but the peaches canned. Tasty, but all fresh and seasonal if necessary would be the only recommendation I could offer. Everyone seemed pleased with their choices and I will def return - maybe even contributing some coffee mugs cluttering my own cabinets. Cheers! "CC"

    Gem hidden in plain sight. I've been living near this fine establishment and barely discovered. I must've been living under rock but glad I'm in the "know". Main Kitchen Cafe is a wonderful place for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. Huge menu, awesome drinks, and great service. The small business neighborhood feel gives it a warm charm. Food is excellent. I went with a group and was able to try out different things. I've never had fried catfish for breakfast. But I'm sure glad I did. Come on in and enjoy a nice warm dine-in experience. Parking is easy. Enjoy.

    Sunshine Ranch Burrito
    Harris A.

    Was in the mood for a breakfast burrito and passing by so I decided to stop in. I must've arrived between breakfast and lunch and was sad immediately. The staff was all very friendly. Decided to go with the sunshine Ranch, breakfast burrito and it was great. Ingredients were clean tasting, and after eating a large burrito still felt great and not bogged down like some burritos can make you feel. Coffee is actually really good. Since it wasn't that busy, it was very calm and relatively quiet inside.

    5/5 I give this place. I gotta hand it to the kitchen staff for making our food good. It was cooked and seasoned well. The steak and eggs were fantastic! Pancake with berries, strawberries and bananas was also fantastic! I'm impressed. The staff were very helpful and paid attention to the customers and kept the place clean inside. Parking can be a challenge on a week day since it is shared with other vendors around and it they don't have a lot of space for many. Overall, it was a good experience eating here. Keep it up!

    Belgian Waffles, Smoked Salmon plate, Sunshine Ranch Burrito
    Penelope

    Food was incredibly delicious. I ordered the Salmon Plate which came with Smoked Salmon, sliced cucumber, cream cheese, tomato, and a toasted bagel. Would definitely order again and come back to try other items on the menu. My group was seated at around 11:30am on a Sunday and there was a bit of a wait time of about 15 minutes. The inside of the restaurant was a bit crowded and there was not much room to wait so they directed people outside. Our waiter was friendly and provided good service but she seemed very much overwhelmed. Overall, great experience here!

    Dining area decor

    Greeted by hostess quickly and kindly. We sat in a clean and inviting dining room. Not too fancy. Lots of wall decor and some music playing in background. We got our food quickly and enjoyed the meal and coffee. It was brought out quickly and the ingredients were great. I recommend this spot for breakfast. I would be careful where you park. I almost got hit when getting in and out of the parking spot along chatsworth. Park in the lot next door if possible. I would return in a heartbeat.

    Hemingway Benedict Breakfast
    Lidiya M.

    What a difference from the last time we went! Lox benedict was so tasty and the Hollandaise wasn't lemony at all! The huevos rancheros (plus avocado) were also delicious. Even the kiddo had a good time with the omelet. And the service - 10 stars! So friendly and accommodating! I've never been so happy to see a Paw Patrol sticker in my life! LOL

    Don't try the chilaquiles. They were the worse I have ever tried in my life. The first bad sign was that it came with both red and green salsa. I'm Mexican-American and know that that's a no no, but I tried it because the waitress said it was good. It was soupy and came with whole beans. The only good thing about it was the good cooked egg. Sour cream!!!. No! It was pretty insulting to our culture. Glad my mother wasn't with us. Indoor seating is limited. I don't mind waiting or being in crowded spaces if the food is good, not the case. The traditional breakfast was pretty good though. Comes with eggs, bacon, and hash browns. The server was pretty rude at first. I didn't really care because if the food is good, I would overlook a bad server. She gave sarcastic remarks and didn't come often enough to refill waters and coffee. Will not return. Food was a bit pricey. A lot of non-Latinos were eating there. I should have known. The outdoor seating was nice, but this intersection is not. Very noisy and kept looking around when crazy drivers flew by.

    Hi!? About how big of a party can come to the café? Is there anyway to reserve seating before hand?

    It's not a huge place biggest party I saw was 6 people but I could be wrong and I would call to ask about the reservation thing.

    Do you guys still serve the French toast with bourbon bacon, bananas, and macadamia nuts?

    That item is currently not available on our menu. Perhaps a different version of that will return in the future. Thanks for the inquiry. Hope that helped.

    Is it pet friendly?

    I was there 8/16/21 and a patio diner had her dog with them. It looked pet friendly.

The restaurant is tucked in a small convenience strip on the corner of Devonshire and Woodley. Parking is limited but there is lots of street parking. The convenience store let me park in the front. You'll meet Sylvia when you walk in. Sylvia made me feel as if I was there last week. The restaurant is well lit and has good ambiance. The bathroom was very clean. I chose crab cake as my appetizer. I would have loved two crab cakes, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I went to CF Food for their Beef Wellington, and I was not disappointed. The pastry was golden and crispy, with a gentle firmness at the base to bed the Beef. The Beef Wellington was perfect!! It was tender, cut through like butter and was perfectly seasoned, which awakened your palate. I don't know why I ordered medium. I should have ordered medium rare. Note to self. The pommes puree was firm yet smooth. I couldn't get enough of it. I think I licked my fork I was driving so one glass of Cabernet would do. I ended this spectacular meal with a slice of cheesecake. As you can see by my empty plates, I enjoyed my dinner. I noticed several couples on a date, and friends who fought over the check. If you're looking for a new restaurant to visit. I highly recommend CF Food Kitchen. By the way, Sylvia also said the Alligator was amazing. Guess I'll be back.

Now I've read some reviews about service here, but I had a very bad experience. It was slow and we often felt ignored. Had to hail down some waiters to get served. Maybe it's because we came for lunch so there weren't as many employees on the floor? Not sure, but that's the only reason for flagging this rating as a 4 star. Food was great and unique. I tried their daily special and realized that I would love to imitate some of their cooking methods. Soup was not what I had expected, but the idea behind the food was there.
