HIDDEN GEM in the San Fernando Valley We decided to stop here for lunch and so glad we did. It was an unexpected surprise! It's kind of hidden in the back of a shopping center. This was our first time trying this small family owned restaurant but we'll definitely be back! We didn't have time for the dishes that took more time since we had movie tickets. We'll definitely have to try them next time. The ambience could use some updating. There is no public restrooms. But, look past this because the food is really worth trying!! We absolutely loved the Beef Koobideh and Lamb Gyro!! Both were unbelievably delicious and packed with flavor!! It tasted authentic and absolutely fantastic! Don't miss out on the green chutney!! The food is fresh, made to order and halal. They serve Mediterranean and Italian (they make pizzas too). Great prices!! Friendly customer service. She took the time to explain some of the dishes and pointed out the ones that would be a longer wait.

chicken over rice plate
Courtney F.

This is one of those places that I fixate over for weeks take a break for a minute then hit it again in full force. Complete hole in the wall but who cares when the food it this good. I will be fully transparent and say that even though I've been here many times, I refuse to get anything besides their chicken over rice plate (my friends tell me their other stuff is incredible too but I can't be separated from the favorite dish). The lettuce is always crisp and fresh, the bread is hot and soft, the garlic and spicy sauces are applied generously, and the chicken and rice are perfect always. I usually can get anywhere from 2-3 servings out of one order depending on how hungry I am. The people are so sweet and this is for sure a family run place, so come support!

Lamb Gyro Over Rice
Samuel O.

Easy rating. Good food, good service and fresh. Surprising quantity for the price point. The place is located in a mall with lots of parking spots. While the area can get busy, this location has 2 designated parking spots in front of the shop (there could be more, but I noticed 2). Place is pretty easy to get to since the mall is so big. Food quality is great and fresh. I would recommend calling ahead to make an order so that you can pick it up if you're under some time crunch. Everything was great from the rice and protein to the pita and salad. Takeout comes in a Styrofoam container which keeps the heat for about an hour. Hospitality was great. Not sure if I'd dine inside, but I would recommend the food.

Beef koobideh plate
Peter M.

I have been dining around this area of Chatsworth, including at a restaurant that uses the same parking lot, but never paid attention to this place. The Afghani owner said they have been there for around 6 years. The restaurant lists itself as Halal, Mediterranean and Italian (they do serve pizzas too). On entering, the place was empty. I ordered the beef Koobideh plate. It came with long grain rice, grilled tomato (or salad), bread (really fresh and good, made daily from Pizza dough) and cilantro sauce (which tasted like an Indian green chutney). After ordering at the counter I had to wait for the food to be brought out. Not an issue for me, I had no train or plane to catch. In fact, I saw the kebab being rolled at the back. It came in four pieces. And the freshness was easily apparent. Nice flavor, color, char taste and was juicy (a key factor for me). There is nothing worse than a dried-up overdone kebab. I asked for butter to eat with the bread. Service was accommodating and polite. I have to go back to try other dishes from the menu.

Dining area well decorated and clean

This Granada Hills location is the flagship location and it was ranked #39 on Yelp's Top 100 Places to Eat for 2018 ( https://blog.yelp.com/news/yelps-top-100-places-to-eat-for-2018/ ). [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.

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.

I'm honestly so disappointed in the lunch that was ordered for us today. A group of us didn't bring…read morefood because we were told lunch would be provided. 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.
