    Do yourself a favor and do not come here. I was discriminated against and told that they don't upset EBT upfront. This was after I had already purchased something. We purchased 2 chicken Lula's and 1 Beef Lula. The food was also subpar for the price of $25 per plate average. After what happened I IMMEDIATELY got up and left.

    I always come here specifically when my family visits me. We order food to go or sometimes eat here. Yesterday on my birthday they were so warm and even provided a creatively plated long grain rice with a candle on it. I will give the thought ans gesture a 10. They played a birthday song and many of them sang as well. They plated our orders family style and the simplicity of it added a fair of warmth and a spirit of celebration. Thank you to Sam's management and employees for a genuine birthday gesture. I sure Will come back for more of your delicious food. And oh the couple who was with me yesterday are from Washington, DC who were just in town. Their daughter who is a doctor works at the white house and they told me they will be at your place when in town..Thanks again!

    Pork ribs plate !

    Lately been going.to Van Nuys and l saw this guy grillling on the sidewalk and it smelled so good , that l decided to have lunch here , and believe it was sooooooo good ,all meats including pork ribs, beef, chicken ,lamb ,fish ,etc are grilled with charcoal , price not.bad for all the goodies that come on a wooden plate , it's a hole in the wall buy the food is just tasty , service is good too ,ambiance little music playing while you eat !

    Is the meats halal?

    This place has halal and non-halal meats. The owner is a muslim guy. So, ask him and you will get clear explanations.

    Noticed they serve pork here. Is there lard used for the lula & other kabobs?

    We had Carnival cater a dinner for the first time. DELICIOUS!!! Our guests raved over the food…read more The variety was spectacular. The food was hot when it was delivered so I was immediately able to put it on the table when our guests arrived. Everyone from the individual who took the order to the delivery driver were very polite and professional. I would not hesitate to have them cater another dinner. I regret not taking pics to post.

    I don't know how to start my review between a "habibi", which in Arabic means "my love", my…read morebeloved", a photographer, that was taking photos of the restaurant for their Instagram page, or this HUGE dog that looked like a German Shepard that arrived with a party of 12 and were seated at the back of the restaurant. 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.

    what an amazing Mediterranean restaurant that is located in studio city! i did not know about this…read moreplace until my friend mentioned about it. what won me over about this place is the fattoush salad. it is a salad inside a pita and you break the pita from the top. booking reservations for 2 was really easy. my friend booked our reservation online and was able to pick the time we wanted to come. Upon arrival, they do have valet & parking structure that is for the general public. the valet guy was nice but we ended up parking at the general parking. i love hearing the music play when walking in the restaurant. check in process was really easy & we were sat at our table immediately. the table set up was really nice. i really like that they give you a fan as a free gift. it does get hot in there. the gentleman standing at the podium was very nice and welcoming. i LOVE live dancers / performers. once we were seated, the beautiful belly dance walked over to us and she was so amazing!!! also want to give a shoutout to the gentleman playing the guitar. really lovely music he was playing. our waiter, his name is ruben and he was absolutely amazing. such nice & lovely gentleman. for our first time he really made our time memorable. he was very attentive & reassured us to make sure we were enjoying everything. we first ordered our drinks. i got the yerevan, which was really smooth. my friend got the tequila summer, it was good & refreshing. as appetizers, we got the Soujoukh with Hummus with pita breads on the side. the soujoukh was absolutely delicious and you can't really go wrong with hummus. then we got the popular fattoush salad. my goodness, that salad left us speechless..in a good way. it was refreshingly delicious. i love when a salad has bell peppers, it's soo good! the pita itself with the olive oil drizzled on top was amazing. it had this yummy crunch which i looved. then for entree, i got the chicken combo plate and my friend got the shrimp plate. both plates were 10/10. the rice was so good, loved the seasoning on top. the Lula chicken and the 5 piece chicken on the skewers were soo good! i love how the lula chicken just slides off the skewers!! it was so yum!! i most definitely recommend! my friend enjoyed his plate as well, especially the shrimp. said, shrimp was cooked perfectly. the food was absolutely amazingly delicious that we were too full to get dessert. most definitely will try their dessert next time. i hope the next time we come ruben is our waiter again!

    First visit and I'm annoyed it took me this long. The outdoor space is beautiful, service was…read moreexcellent top to bottom, and the manager checked in without hovering. Fattoush was crisp and properly dressed. Chicken breast kebob cooked perfectly, which is not a given with breast meat. Portions were bigger than expected and the value is real. The Napoleon deserves its own paragraph. I had low expectations for a dessert pastry here and it was award-winning good. Get it. Hidden gem. We'll be back.
