    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!

    Taking off a star due to the new people (guy and a girl) working the counter here. You can tell neither of them care. Very nonchalant and dismissive and definitely showed me that they are not going out of their way to accommodate. The owners who usually work there are so kind and attentive. These two new workers were both completely not accommodating. I will not come back here if I have this experience again bc I usually spend about $50 on my meal just for me so I expect mindful customer service. My salad was soggy since they put it in the bag with hot food and fries undercooked . This is the 2nd time I've had to throw a soggy salad away from here.

    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

Albert didn't bat an eye lash and assured her that he would make a special meal for her. Then he turned to the other 3 at our table and asked if we would like him to prepare a special meal for us to enable us to share plates and experience a variety of meats and sides. We ended up with an amazing spread of meats, stews, several rice dishes, salad and vegetables and took home enough food for at least 3 meals. And the special dinner for our friend on the restricted diet was indeed delicious and truly a feast. Our total bill including wine and tax and tip came to about $40 pp. Given the quality and abundance of food and the amazing service, this was a very reasonable price. My friends and I highly recommend this place.

Location 4 stars: NE corner of Tampa and Roscoe in Northridge, CA. Free self parking in the strip mall where the restaurant is located and limited street parking. Venue 3 stars: Basic and unassuming, larger venue with indoor seating. Service 5 stars: Friendly and helpful. Food 5 stars: Excellent Persian food, ranging from appetizers to kabobs and traditional stews and rice to dessert. I highly recommend the Eggplant Borani appetizer, the Shirazi Salad, the Filet Mignon Kabob (a.k.a. Barg), the Ground Beef kabob (a.k.a. Koobideh) and the boneless chicken kabob. The Barg and Koobideh kabobs can also be made with chicken instead of beef and are equally delicious. You can get the kabobs with the traditional Lavash bread or with a variety of rice options (plain white rice or with sour cherries, barberries, green beans, lentils, etc.). Don't skip on the grilled tomatoes that make everything taste even better! The stews and desserts are also very good. Drinks 4 stars: Soft drinks, Doogh (Yogurt soda which goes really well with Persian kabob and rice), Tea, Coffee, and as of recently beer and wine.

    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.

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.

    What a delicious hidden gem in Canoga Park. Was craving Persian food but did not want to drive out…read moreto Northridge to my other favorite Persian place so did a yelp search and Kababe Grill came up. Did not know what to expect because it's located in a building that only has a kitchen facility. I walked in, went to the kitchen door and was greeted by Fred. sweet, caring man that just wants to make delicious food served with a wonderful smile. Since my son was coming over, I ordered two koobedieh combos (beef and chicken ) and a falafel plate. OMG, so good, so much flavor and huge portions. The rice is perfectly seasoned and fluffy, the skewers were juicy and tasty. The falafel, the best I've ever had! So yelp community, I would be so grateful if you support this small family run business. You will not be disappointed. They also cater, score!!

    Scrolling through Yelp in Canoga Park thinking, "I want Mediterranean... specifically…read morePersian/Iranian?" Look no further. This spot is takeout only, hidden in what basically feels like a restaurant warehouse, and as you walk down to pick up your food you genuinely start wondering, "Where the hell am I?" Then the aroma hits and suddenly you're floating like a cartoon character following the smell trail. I got the beef koobideh and WOW! Perfectly seasoned, insanely flavorful, fluffy rice, and the shirazi salad absolutely slapped. All this for $15 in 2026 when gas is $6.30. And the service? So kind. The person I called taking my order was sweet, everyone at pickup was welcoming, and I swear someone's grandma was in the kitchen because the food tasted like a warm hug. I don't usually write reviews unless the food is genuinely special, and I definitely don't gatekeep good food. So if you're craving Persian food, place the order now.

    I have heard a lot of great things about this restaurant that is family owned and has been around…read morefor decades. First time, but not the last. Yesterday around 3pm, as I was in the area, saw this Falafel Palace and decided to pull into their big parking lot which is shared with other businesses. Their restrooms were also very clean. Walked in and was greeted by a very friendly employee. He was pleasant and gave me a rundown of their menu. They have a vast menu from bowls, to plates, to pita wraps, salads, many different types of sauces, vegan and gluten free options too. Just to name a few. Desserts, such as Baklava and variety of cookies. I did end up getting one Baklava and it was moist, fresh and delicious. Prices are super affordable for their portions. 10/10! I went with beef and chicken skewers, and asked them to put my hummus on the side and not to overcook the meat. I like my beef to be medium-rare to medium. Chicken skewer also had a lot of flavors to it. There were very well prepared and seasoned to perfection. I also got their Greek salad with lots of healthy vegetables. Stayed with water. They have many different types of juices: bottled, & fountain drinks. They even checked on me once, considering the fact that you place your order at the counter, and they will bring out your food to you. Food was very delicious & fresh, along with service and the ambiance in their outdoor seating and inside was SPOTLESS CLEAN with some great music playing overhead. Thank you Falafel Palace, management and employees. Always stay true to yourself and consistency is the number one key. If and when I am in the area again, I will definitely stop by!

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.
