Place is decent, not sure why it has 5 stars overall. I tried this for the first time and the portions were very small for chicken and beef kabob. Very hard to find parking around the area, I didn't dine in but it looked very nicely setup for IG pictures. But, my main concern was the food, which was about average.

This place deserves 5 stars. The food was sooo fresh. I eat a lot of salads and their salad quality was super fresh A+ also your kabob was on point. This place is way above the average. For a little neighborhood place it is a gem. The service was very friendly. Wish you were down the street from me! The only downside is parking BUT they worth walking a block. They have a nice outdoor patio. No inside seating. Im coming back here when im in the area again.

Had the shawarma combo plate which had chicken shawarma, gyro (ground meat like a burger patty), salad, hummus, rice, and flat bread. Shawarma was so good. Salad refreshing. Came around 1 pm on Saturday afternoon and it was very few people and quick service. Huge portions and tasty food. Would recommend! Only issue might be finding street parking since that’s the only parking available. However it is next to a train stop if that works for you.

Great food, the portions are really large and the taste is divine. I’m only giving 4 stars because parking is a bit difficult and the insects just would not quit probably because it’s outdoors and they are attracted to the flowers. We spent a long time swatting at flies, beetles and bees but other than that, this is an awesome place to eat

Love coming here with my family. Came here for Mother’s Day weekend and my loved it. The food is always delicious and super fresh. I’ve had the beef and chicken kabobs plus lamb chops and they are delicious! The atmosphere dinning in is lovely. Very cute decor and great little spots for those OG selfies. They have great service. The prices are totally worth it. The best Mediterranean and Persian food spot in LA!

Perfect. I thought it was lovely! It was charming. It was quiet and peaceful. There was lots of food. It was all really good. I had the beef mix and my husband had the chicken mix. I bought an order of dolmas. I like mine with a lot of lemon. I didn’t request any lemons, next time I will. I didn’t realize there was no parking lot to park in. I parked on the street and we sat down to eat. The lady was very friendly. I was not expecting water without ice. The water was very good and it was cold. The fork was not strong enough to cut the steak. I would recommend this place. I loved how peaceful it was and the food was good. We drove all day from out of state and we were tired and thought this would be a cheap quick meal before going to bed. He hadn’t plan on spending that much. That’s why I said it was expensive. I’m use to getting Dolmas at Heart of Jerusalem and other places cheaper. Unfortunately where I’m from we do not have any restaurants that sell this kind of food near us. When I’m in Colorado I love going to the Heart of Jerusalem and wish more places would do dolmas like they do.
