Real people don't eat this garbage. Save your money and go somewhere else. Update: The owner's response is just as bad as their food." "Instead of taking responsibility for serving inedible, over-salted, and over-peppered meat for $100, the owner chooses to call me 'petty' and claim I'm 'competition.' I am a paying customer who just wanted a decent dinner, not a business rival. Your inability to handle honest feedback is pathetic. If you spent as much time in the kitchen as you do making up conspiracy theories about your customers, maybe the food wouldn't be so salty. Trust the 1-star reviews--the owner's attitude confirms everything. Update (Response to the liar/manager): "It's pathetic to see the manager and owner publicly lying by claiming I'm 'not a customer' just to protect your fake rating. I have the DoorDash receipt and the transaction record to prove exactly what I bought and when. I will be providing this proof to DoorDash support this evening, along with screenshots of your insults and dishonesty. We'll see who is lying then. Instead of gaslighting customers who complain about your salty, over-peppered food, you should learn some professionalism. You took $100 of my money and then called me a liar--that is a new low for any business in LA."

Their filet kabobs were my favorite along with their chicken kabobs. All the meat pieces that we ordered for the birthday party were tender and flavorful with every bite. They are really good with seasonings their meat because it was right on the spot with taste and smell. Service was excellent because they provided all the foods that we ordered ahead of time for the party. The staff were friendly and welcoming. But not a lot of parking space in front of the restaurant. But it was worth a visit if you are ever near in Van Nuys area. Highly recommend their kebabs!

Found this spot on Yelp and with these ratings, I just had to try it. The place did live up to my…read moreexpectations. We ordered the meat combo plate, which came with beef lula kabob as well as chicken kabob and beef kabob pieces. The plate also came with hummus and because I came with my daughter and she demanded fries, I replaced the included basmati rice for freshly made fries. In addition, we decided to order a side of baba ganoush, which was very flavorful and just so worth it. The meats were outstanding. Both, chicken and beef kabob pieces were nicely marinated, perfectly grilled and delicious. The beef lula kabob really stood out to me and it's one of the better ones I've had in LA -- very juicy, well marinated ground beef and they cooked it so the juices are trapped inside the lula and they only get released after you bite into it. What I got was a perfect bite every time and those delicious beef juices made my taste buds say Yaaaaay and nourished my soul. Overall, a very good meal at a good price and it had my wife and daughter satisfied. The spot is located on a medium-size plaza with many parking spots. The inside is clean and has about 8 tables for dining in. The service was good and friendly. A worthy local place for a quick, delicious Mediterranean food. Will come back again!

(To go order) Ordered two shawarmas and baba ganooj and sad to say the $5 baba-j stole the show…read more The shawarma was uneven on protein packing- one had decent amount and the other was well packed but loose so it was falling all over the place. I think they tried to press it cause it had a crispy bottom but even with a slop of garlic sauce in the middle, it didn't hold it together cause it was sooooooo dry. The $5 eggplant meze came in a large to go plate with pickles but also dry (how?!?). The $3 meat pie was cute but nothing special or nothing a proper pastry place can't beat. My order came with the traditional bag of pita (which is nice but all legit places do this); I'm only mentioning this cause I thought this changed with $3 pita side option on the menu. And they gave me the cute little baklava (2) they hand out as a freebie dessert (but also not as good as it used to be). Really really sad that it's nowhere near what it used to be almost a decade ago when I lived in Noho. I come here almost once every ~ 3 months and look forward to my takeouts when I get the chance, but after being disappointed consistently, not likely. Good luck tho! I like what you've done outside.

Going forward, we'll definitely be ordering from here not just for ourselves, but also for parties and family gatherings at home. We got the platter that feeds 4-6 people, and it was beautifully arranged with such generous portions. There were different types of meats, grilled vegetables, potatoes, plus rice and salad -- everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The meat was especially impressive: juicy, not dry at all, and not overly seasoned so you could really taste the quality. The pricing is amazing for the quality, quantity, and presentation you get. We were honestly very impressed. I just wish they were closer to us -- but it's absolutely worth the drive. Highly recommend

The fresh lemonade reminded me of aqua Fresca. Decent portions. Just wish inflation didn't make the price skyrocket from $13 to $20. Friendly service upon arrival and throughout the duration of my stay. Overall since it was made to order, the food came out fresh and it was fast / quick ~ 15 minutes. Definitely come through if you want healthy, fresh off the grill, yet fast Mediterranean food in the SFV area ! Ambiance was mellow due to show / movie on TV (Hallmark channel) setting the vibes at 9pm. Would like to return with loved ones.
