    Caesar salad
    Linda K.

    I was doing laundry around the corner and decided to grab something to eat since I'd be there for a few hours. This place popped up, so I ordered fries and a Caesar salad. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's not the best-looking place -- definitely more of a mom-and-pop spot -- but the food surprised me![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will be back to try other options. The fries were so good, super crispy, and they gave a really generous portion. I think there might've been a mix-up with the salad dressing -- it seemed more like an Italian olive oil dressing instead of Caesar -- but it still tasted pretty good, light and flavorful.

    This place has good food. Their service is great and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambience is fantastic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend this place.

    Boit Mernem Sandwich  Classic Burger with Fries

    Absolutely loved the food at World Cafe! The sandwich was a 10/10 and the burger was a solid 9. The fries were also delicious! The workers were incredibly nice! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outdoor seating had a heater and music playing and it felt incredibly cozy to be here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely would come back! Especially because they told us they're adding way more options to their menu soon! Can't wait to try more :)

    Very small, very good for a quick passing-by bite on the fly. The Philly Steak sandwich was wonderful, prepared in front of my eyes, with fresh and crispy bread. Mmmh, perfect for what it was!

    Roast beef sandwich
    Melissa F.

    SO DELICIOUS! Found this gem on Yelp and it did not disappoint. Every bite was full of flavor, and the pickles are amazing! Outdoor seating available, friendly staff.

    The burger is as big as the takeout carrier!

    Food was great (massive serving for what you pay). I had the burger and it did not disappoint. If you are anywhere near LA, I'd suggest taking a quick drive to try the food. Small business with quality ingredients and hometown feeling service. I'm from the Bay Area, and when I come next, I'll be sure to visit.

    Chicken Burger (with Cheese & Mushrooms)
    Ran C.

    Hungry. Looking for food. Friend suggests World Cafe. I'm always game to try new places. Always. This is the way. The fatty way. First - follow the instructions. Don't blink. You'll pass it up. Street parking. On Verdugo. And on California. Small lot in back. Don't know if it's for the laundromat only. Check signage. No table service. Order. Find a seat. Probably outdoors. Small counter inside. Good for three. Maybe four people. Outdoor covered seating. Again, no table service. Need something - go to the counter. Though no service - staff (cashier + cook), so friendly. So nice. Not sure if they're the owners. So, on to the food ... Ordered a Chicken Burger (with mushrooms & cheese) + fries. Plus a Roast Beef Sandwich. See pics. Free drink with Yelp check in. Got a Coke. So delicious. So good. Ingredients just hit the spot. The special sauce added to the flavor. Was skeptical of the Yelp rating. Always nice when the ratings are spot on.

    Roast beef sandwich combo (with soda)
    Elena C.

    Delicious roast beef sandwich with an exotic twist! Their roast beef alone is already good, but they added onions, parsley, cucumber and spices which makes it a delight on every bite. The dip is just right for both the sandwich and fries. Only order the fries when you're really hungry, because the portion is pretty big. Overall it's a hearty meal combo and the price reflects it. Oh and they no longer honor the check in free soda.

    Philly Cheesesteak Combo.
    Elvis P.

    I Ordered The Philly Combo.... It Was Delicious! They're A Decent Size As Well I Only Finished Half And The Fries. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Chairs Outside Are Really Good For Self Spinal Adjustments Lol[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. The Guy Working Inside Is Pretty Friendly As Long As You Know What You Want To Drink .

    The burgers he make are amazing! He melts the cheese right way on the side on his huge patties! It's my favorite hole in a wall.

    I love Mediterranean food and this place was recommended by our friends…read more Food: 5/5 The quality of food here is amazing. We ordered two of the carousel plates with four different meats: beef, veal, filet, and chicken. The beef and chicken kebabs were super flavorful. It paired deliciously with their rice, roasted veggies, and cabbage salad. I also love their crispy thin pita chips. I was not a fan of the veal liver as it was too gamey for me. Overall the food was really good and the portion sizes were great. Drinks: 3/5 The drinks here were not that good. They were a dollar or two higher than your regular bar. However, the taste was mediocre. Their hibiscus Paloma was very bland and a little watered down. Service: 5/5 We came here on a Friday night at 7pm, we had a reservation and got seated pretty quickly despite it being quite busy. Our server checked up on our table often and our food came out pretty fast. They also gave out some bread, cheese, veggies, and olives while we waited for our food. Ambiance: 5/5 This place is lively and feels a little upscale. They have an outdoor seating area as well. Overall, I would come back here for the food, but maybe not the drinks.

    My group and I ordered the family style meal for $40 per person (tip and tax about $50 per person)…read more This was an amazing decision because we got to try a bit of everything and there was so much food, we couldn't finish it all. Very delicious and worth the price! The restaurant was spacious, clean, and luxurious.

Turmeric Braised Chicken - The dish was a bit on the basic end, not a lot of seasoning but you could taste the tumeric. Chicken was tender but slightly on the drier side which was a bit surprising considering it was dark meat (6.5/10) Kofteh Tabrizi - The tomato taste was prominent in the broth but the meatball itself was overly salty. The flavor was one note, I can't see myself ordering this again as I've heard this dish should have more complex flavors so I was disappointed (5.5/10) Kotlet Plate - As you can see from my picture, the kotlet was burnt beyond repair and I could taste the bitterness from the overused oil they used to fry it. I did like the yogurt spread and the pickles that came with it but I did not like the kotlet at all. We didn't bother asking them to replace it (4/10) Mirza Ghasemi w/ Barbari bread - The star of this whole experience was the Mirza Ghasemi, the roasted eggplant and tomato spread came cold and it was the most delicious thing we had. One of my friends vacuumed it right up before the rest of us could have seconds. Bread was a bit dry but it was a great vehicle for the Mirza (8.5/10) Lamb Gheimeh - Lamb was tender and it had some nice spices infused in there but it didn't wow me in any way (7/10) Sholezard - Our waitress brought over some complimentary Ceylon tea with the Sholezard which was kind. This rice dessert was not too sweet. The warmth and saffron ended our meal in a comforting way. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't get it again (7/10) +1 star for the service
