It was my first time going to a Lebanese restaurant and Hayat's Kitchen was spectacular!…read more Hayat's Kitchen located in the center corner of a mini shopping center on the corner of Vineland Avenue & Burbank Boulevard in North Hollywood. Beautifully shaded outdoor patio with lush green astroturf carpeting. The outdoor seating area is dog friendly. The tables are decorated with beautiful placemats, plates and rolled up silverware. The waiter was friendly, placed a basket of pita bread for the table and helped describe some of the Lebanese dishes for me. Ordered an iced tea, fries and a chicken wrap. Went inside of the restaurant to use the restroom and on my way I saw the amazing desserts station, vintage serving trays & gold coffee pots, some classic framed photos of Lebanon on the walls, the kitchen and the indoor dining area. This was an amazing lunch and will come back to try more of the delicious food!

We really loved everything except the pitas. Would have been nice if they were warmed up at least.

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!

[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 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.

We were there yesterday at 4:20pm. The minute I saw that BIG dog, not only was it scary, but the barking inside a nice, homey restaurant was very loud and unpleasant. Even one of their servers and a child got scared.(looked a lot like a wolf). They came in like 3 minutes after we were seated. I complained to our waitress, Rada, and right away she tried defending them by saying it's a service dog. It had no collar nor a vest. I know a service dog when I see one. In addition to that, there were no blind, deaf people sitting at that table. Within less than 5 minutes, the owner and the dog left the premises. The restaurant looked a lot like a Chabad where a lot of Jewish people gather together and celebrate bar/bat mitzvahs, or other gatherings. Their menu has a lot to offer. Pastries, beverages, beer and wine. Vast selection of items and also vegan, plant based and vegetarian dishes. Also organic meals. Moving on with my review. My son and I ordered their small Hummus, ($9.95), which was very bland and needed some good seasoning such as pepper, oil, garlic etc.., we also ordered the same dish. 2 orders of their Quail Dinner that came with 2 salads, rice with some raw onions on top, grilled tomatoes, with fresh, hot pita bread. For both entrées, it was ($49.90). When the bill arrived, Rada removed the hummus without telling us. That was a very nice gesture. I didn't even say anything about it not being good. Our host Melida was also sweet and kind. We also got 4 pieces of their Fried Cheese Rolls ($2 per roll). The Lentil Soup was to die for. It was a very generous bowl ($7.95). I licked the bowl, and haven't had Lentil Soup in a very long time. Food was unbelievably delicious and priced appropriately for their portions. Also very fresh. Restaurant was clean along with their restrooms. One for each gender. Parking was shared with so many other businesses, had a nice size aquarium right by the entrance, and 2 more things. Former president Bill Clinton and the one and only tenor opera singer, Andrea Boccelli were photographed with the owner and placed on a wrong wall. Photos like that should be placed somewhere where everyone can see it. I may or may not return. It was barely 5:10pm, and they closed their blinds saying the reflection of the cars is bothering the photographer, when there were no cars nearby. In their amenities section, it says that they have a patio. Please update your system. There is no patio seating.

I prefer pita sandwiches that are cut open and stuffed, rather than rolled up like a burrito the way they do here; the latter compresses everything together into a mush and can drip the contents out the back end, which is exactly what happened when I tried eating this one. This would matter less if the felafel were really good, but these were almost completely tasteless and mushy, no nice crisp exterior. In fact, they were falling apart as I was eating. The hummus was okay. Not bad, but nothing special. And the pita bread they included with it was cold, not warm and fresh. Maybe there are other items on the menu that justify the five star reviews. But the felafel and hummus certainly do not, and I'm not sure I'd want to experiment further.

Food portions were plenty and very good. I stopped by today around 2:45 pm and was greeted by Salim the owner himself. Service was just ok, could have been better in many ways. They have remodeled this place and it has been around for over 25 years or so..I liked the place the way it was before. Place was clean. You order at the counter and they bring out your food. Salim was not that friendly, nor was he unfriendly. I ordered 1skewer of Shish Kabob that came in 4 small pieces of square beef, 1 skewer of grilled big prawns-3 pieces, which came with Rice, Hummus, Pita bread(stale) & was cold, and cabbage salad. My total for everything including tax was $29.65. I asked my Shish Kebob to be cooked medium, and it was way too well done for my taste. Shrimp and the rest were delicious!! My server Cely could have been more pleasant and friendly. She just brought my food out, placed it on the table & didn't check on me not even ONCE!! One of the cooks from the kitchen asked me if I needed anything and I said, I am good. Had to get up myself to ask for water and napkins. Ambiance was dull and boring. There was no one in the restaurant. Right when I was about to leave, another employee by the name of Micalla came to work and right away asked me if I needed anything. I asked for a box to take the remaining of the food to go. Right away she packed my food and I left. Fridge full of cold beverages and my favorite TAN! An Armenian/Lebanese Yogurt drink. Another downside was that they didn't have an itemized receipt. The last 4 star was for Micalla. Will definitely return again some other time.
