    Such a solid Mediterranean restaurant! In heart of Porter ranch.. when my little sis said I want Mediterranean I said this is the place. From the moment we arrived, everything felt easy plenty of parking, fair prices, and seriously yummy food. I had the chicken shawarma sandwich and she enjoyed chicken Mediterranean plate. I didn't get many pictures, but trust me, the dessert alone was worth it The owner and waiters were all nice and made us feel welcomed. Great food, great value, and great people. Highly recommend! And we will be back!

    OMGeeee! Mediterranean Bistro is a true neighborhood gem that feels like coming home the moment you walk in. The hot and cold appetizers are delicious, fresh, and wonderfully authentic, while the dishes throughout the menu are an exquisite combination of Lebanese and Armenian styles, blending bold flavors with comforting tradition. The entrées are equally impressive, expertly prepared and deeply satisfying. To finish, the old-school coffee and dessert add the perfect nostalgic touch. Combined with fantastic customer service that makes every guest feel welcome, this is the kind of place you look forward to returning to again and again. Can't wait to go back. Yalla ... 'till next time.

    I'm it experience was amazing from start to finish. We walked in and were greeted immediately. The owner and servers were so gracious and attentive. We ordered and were not disappointed with the timing and food presentation. The food was delicious!! There wasn't a single piece left. Great portions. This was definitely a wonderful first time experience and we will be coming back

    What can I say, OMG Yummy . Chicken Kabob , cabbage salad , ice tea and ambiance perfect. So delicious. We came after a Tony Robbin's virtual event. A Must Try! Saturday they have such pleasant music. Come enjoy a good family time. I'll return when in the Area. Open a location in OC.

The BBQ plate is outstanding--the meat is perfectly seasoned, incredibly juicy, and packed with flavor in every bite. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their food. Their wraps are just as impressive. They're loaded with ingredients, bursting with flavor, and the portions are huge. One wrap is more than enough to leave you full and satisfied. Consistently great food, generous portions, and excellent quality keep me coming back week after week. Lemon Zest has easily become one of my favorite lunch spots. Highly recommended!

The parking situation is tricky if the lot is full because the lot is super narrow and if the restaurant is full you won't find parking in their lot. Their staff is sweet and helpful.

It was super good! I also really enjoyed their hummus as an appetizer. Overall will definitely be coming back and would recommend this place!

My favorites are their kabobs and different modifications (think sour berries) of generous amounts of basmati rice that accompany their entrees. The Mast O' Mooseer (yoghurt with shallots) is another of my must haves. Generally, I always get the koobideh kabob to go, but this time, I was in the mood to sit down and have some chunks of meat. I chose the Shish Kabob, which is advertised as grilled filet mignon pieces. The restaurant prepares it medium well and past experience revealed it to be dry and tough. So I asked for it medium rare, for the first time. The dish that came to my table had marvelous optics. The beef was well charred, had an intoxicating aroma and well distributed coloring amongst the seven generous pieces. But there were a few problems. For one, I could not comfortably cut into the beef without using excess force, and shredding it. I asked for a sharper (steak) knife and was told that was all they had. While the meat was juicy, it was extremely chewy. I even questioned whether it was filet mignon, because it did not look and behave like it. I was told it was. If that was the case, could it have been a bad cut? This substantiates why I am leery about ordering meat pieces. Amongst the other items, the thick creamy yoghurt did not disappoint. Same with the grilled onion and tomato. The saffron rice is always fluffy and abundant. The green salad was crisp and refreshing. Take home message? Looks like I will have to skip the Shish Kabob and stick only with the koobideh, if I am ever in the mood for skewered grilled beef.

Came here with my family and some extended family to celebrate a special occasion. Panini Kabob Grill is a Mediterranean and Italian restaurant, they have very good kebabs, Koobideh, pastas, salads, wraps and Panini's and deserts. Their portions are generous and everything tastes excellent, I normally always make get their chicken ABF kebab with a Greek salad and basmati rice, I really enjoy it every time. This location is inside the mall on the bottom floor. They have a cool Concept, they have inside dining and then a canopied outside that is actually in the mall, but feels like a patio. You can have an outdoor dining experience, but be in the air conditioned mall, ha ha. They also actually have a small outdoor patio as well if you prefer to be actually outside. We ate on the indoor/outdoor patio, they have these orange lights, so it gave all the pics this orange hue. The interior is nice, wine along the bar area, medium/dark wood tables and walls. Minimalist, but nice and clean interior with a lot of seating inside and out. Our waiter was very nice, took our orders, brought everything out, kept checking on us and getting us everything we needed. Thank you. Enjoy!

The Northridge outpost is located in the Fashion Mall, on the ground floor, below the food court. It has a nice layout, spacious, with well polished wood tables. Seating is inside as well as a covered area outside, though still in the mall, adjacent to the place, a patio feel, if you will. Interestingly, when I was there, they were playing Latin music. A multicultural experience :). So what do you order when you come here? I came here for a carry out and it had to be their beef koobideh. It came with a choice of salad (Greek in my case), basmati rice, two skewers of kabob, grilled onions, tomato, jalapeno and a small container of tzatziki. For a starter, I selected a bowl of the green lentil soup that came accompanied with two small pieces of grilled artisan bread. This soup was fantastic in both flavor, freshness and taste. Most Mediterranean soups have too much lemon, imparting acidity to the dish. Here, if it was there, it was very slight, hardly noticeable. I consider this pivotal, because now you get to actually taste the depth of the lentils. As for the kabobs, it was a generous portion. They were moist, tasty, optimally spiced and with satisfying texture. The Tzatziki was superb. This eatery touts themselves as a scratch kitchen, for the food that is served daily to their customers. Indeed, I have to say that their food does taste different. I know that this restaurant will climb upwards on my list, for many more repeat visits.

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.

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.

So I ordered 3 Gyro meals. Lamb, chicken, and beef with the combo meal fries and drink. For the 3 sandwiches with each of them having a side of small fries and small drink I paid $71.29 for the entire order which is crazy in itself but the real crime was the food here, I am surprised how this place is been running business this whole time. First thing you do when you sit in a car? Take a few bites of the fries, and let me tell you that shit got stuck in my throat from how dry and nasty it was absolutely no SALT on any of the sandwiches and or fries... We all know salt makes everything more delicious and we had none of it. Me and 2 of my guests all had complaints on how unsalted and bland the food was. Also with a gyro usually you need a garlic sauce aka white sauce for my New Yorkers, they tried to charge me $5.90 for a SMALL plastic side of garlic sauce for my $20 sandwich. Save your money head over to Pita Pocket or any other gyro spots cuz this ain't it. It's really not hard to get a gyro down. Trader Joes also has a box of gyro meat you can buy make at home and I did once and it was WAYYYY better then this place lol. This place gets 0 stars for charging customers $20+ for a freaking combo meal that doesn't even include a garlic sauce.
