Butter Chicken Masala Butter Naan Samosa
L F.

Ordered the butter chicken masala and it was absolutely delicious. Used the butter naan to scoop the chicken and it was the perfect bite. 5/5 Vegetable Samosas were ok. The filling was a little dry, and flavor was average. 3/5 Tried the Gulab Jamun and it tasted just as described. Fried dough balls in sugar rose water (I think)? It was very very sweet. 3/5 All in all my meal was really tasty, packaged well and arrived warm. I'll definitely be ordering again!

Look at this dish simply delicious !!!!

Everything. !!! We are here on a Monday afternoon. Lots are places are open. Staff very friendly.

At the restaurant with my mom and dad

Excellent mutton biriyani and lamb biriyani chicken biriyani and mango lassi. Server was Rohitha.

Haleem
Mohammad Z.

Heard a lot about the famous haleem of Pista house so we finally decided to try it. Arrived around 11:15 on Sunday and was told it would be another 30 mins before the haleem would be ready! Not an issue, waited and got it to go. Got home and tried it, the texture was alright but the overall taste was just not there and it was packed with way too much spices and heat. Was only able to manage a few bites before tossing the rest in the trash. Would not recommend nor would visit again, at least not for the Haleem.

If u like biryani and spicy southern Indian food this is a great place in the heart of Little India ...smaller restaurant not too crowded ..ordered Nizam Biryani ..decent spice and topped with boneless chicken ..more than enough for 2-3 ..quick service during lunch ..and good prices ..recommend!

Kabab Crush delivers a satisfying and well-executed meal with their Beef Kabab Combo Plate…read more While it's a bit on the pricier side, the portion more than justifies the cost. The plate comes with three filet mignon skewers, each incredibly juicy, buttery, and tender--clearly cooked with care and quality ingredients. The rice is another highlight: deeply flavorful with just the right amount of seasoning, making it a perfect complement rather than an afterthought. The combo also includes pita and two sides; I chose the hummus and yogurt cucumber, which added a nice balance of richness and freshness to the meal. Be prepared for a bit of a wait, as the food does take some time, but it's evident everything is made fresh and to order--well worth the patience. Overall, a hearty, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared plate that earns a solid 5

Finally doing this spot justice with a review because this is hands-down hubby and I's favorite…read moreMediterranean place. We've been here a good five times and I'm finally writing a review--better late than never. Parking is easy and there's a decent amount of seating both inside and outside. Ambience-wise, it's your typical fast-casual, in-and-out vibe. Nothing fancy and not super pretty inside, but don't let that fool you. Once the food hits your tongue, it's game over. Hubby and I are creatures of habit and always order our usual plates. He gets the beef and lamb kebabs, and honestly the portion sizes are so generous that our plates are interchangeable every single visit. A must-have side is their Mediterranean salad--get the large so you can save some for leftovers the next day. For my plate, I always order the red cabbage, hummus, sumac onions, and of course the Mediterranean salad, and it is always absolutely delicious. For the entrée, I go with the chicken and beef shawarma. The meat is perfectly shredded and pairs so well with their fluffy rice, plus the generous amount of garlic and tahini sauce. The only downside I would say is the pita bread. I personally don't care for how dry it can be, but to be fair, the best pita bread I've ever had was in Athens, Greece, so it's very hard to compare when most pita breads here are premade. Service is always fast and on point. This place is an absolute must-try if you're craving Mediterranean food. Happy eats!

Great food quality for the price - their lunch pricing at $21.99 is quite a deal. Dinner at $28.99…read moreis also great too. In addition, at dinner only, each person can order one lamb shank - just this piece of meat alone is worth your $28.99 visit. The restaurant food section is maintained very cleanly, food is beautifully displayed for a self-serve buffet restaurant. Plenty of seating area with ability to accommodate larger parties, and feels family friendly. The only shortcoming they have is that their fruit section tastes consistently unappealing, and some of the desserts don't tastes too great either. But at least their main dishes taste good. Regardless, this is a regular lunch spot frequented, and would bring friends over for dinner here, if they ever feel like Mediterranean.

I stopped by Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet in Cerritos for a brunch-style meal…read more For a buffet, the price didn't seem too expensive at first, but after eating, I didn't necessarily feel like it was an amazing value for what I had. To be fair, I went on a weekend, so I paid the highest price. I could see this place being a much better value during weekday lunch. The inside was very clean, which I appreciated. One thing that felt a little awkward was the service setup. There didn't really seem to be servers inside, and you pay when you leave, so I wasn't completely sure how much tip made sense. I noticed they even had a 10% tip option, so I'm guessing they know the setup can feel a little unclear. The food overall was clean and decent. It felt like they had pretty much everything you would expect from an American-style Mediterranean/Middle Eastern buffet. Nothing really stood out as especially amazing, but there was a good variety, and most of the food gave me that "this is probably healthy" feeling. I'd consider coming back if I were with friends who really like Mediterranean food.

From the moment you walk in, there's a special atmosphere -- cozy and beautiful. Everything feels very balanced and welcoming. The food was absolutely incredible -- honestly, everything we tried was delicious. You can tell the dishes are made with care and good-quality ingredients. The flavors were rich, well-balanced, and sometimes surprisingly unique in the best way. Every dish made us want to finish every last bite. The presentation also deserves special mention -- everything looked beautiful and very appetizing. It's clear the team pays attention not only to taste but also to how the food is served, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. The service was just as great -- attentive, friendly, and not intrusive. We truly felt like welcomed guests rather than just customers. Overall, it was one of those dining experiences where everything comes together perfectly: the food, the atmosphere, and the service. I highly recommend Taibat to anyone who appreciates good-quality, delicious food. We will definitely be coming back!
