Best middle eastern food in LA. And in my opinion, a top 5 restaurant in the city. Hidden gem. Best hummus in the game!

Got hummus, tabuleh and espresso shot to go. Both tabuleh and hummus were good but a little on the salty side. The espresso was on point and really strong. People were nice and accommodating.

very nice vibe ,stylish setting / decent food allover and SURPRISINGLY VERY VERY PROFESSIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE / LADY WAS VERY PATIENT WITH my QUESTIONS AND BROUGHT EVERYTHING HOT AND SERVED AS ORDERED / THANKS A LOT / ONLY 1 MINUS KENAFA DIDN'T HAVE THE RITE AMOUNT AND TYPE OF CHEESE AND KEFTA NEEDS TO BE MORE SEASONED and flavorful THE LEBANESE WAY ?✌️?

Love the ambiance, service is good . The food was delish I got the beef swarm fries and wings. Definitely recommend. I am new to the area and finally got the chance to try this place . Oh and the hookah suggested by our waiter was a good choice aswell.

good food friendly service nice environment

Please don’t come here for food. It’s decent but this spot is more of a hookah lounge. The hookahs seem cool but the food tasted odd and obviously microwaved. Like how the hookah smell better than the food. Anyways my chicken shawarma was steaming HOT with the sides and bits cold lol it was literally something out of Kitchen Nightmares. And the fact that the microwaved chicken was 15 dollars almost made call the BBB cus I gotta be getting scammed. If this had been the last meal I ate and I died walking out, I would be raging in the afterlife. Though I gotta say the server was nice and the fries were good. But there’s really no reason to come here for food unless you’re effed up and just want food. And no I did not finish the plate! A la basura!

Placed an order for pick up at 11:50... when I came for pick up they said the kitchen was closed and that they never received the order even though I could see the uber eats order on their tablet... still haven't received a refund and the employees had an attitude like it's my fault that on the app it says they close at 12 never again...

The place is really nice, the food was perfect. They have such nice service, definitely recommend this place

Bad experience. Food was difficult to digest. I had beef shawrma. the taste was okay. They can do better since they are making a lot of money. Shame on the owner. Bring a better chef.

Don't believe any word that place says especially guy name George also it is not a family place don't waste your time. I called at 12 30pm on Sunday I spoke with person name George and I asked to make a reservation for 9 people and I told him I need outside so cN smoke hookah he said don't take a reservation walk in but I told him I am going to drive for 1 hour I just want to be on safe side after he spoke with his manager he said just come over and I will put 2 tables together and he said I will be here at 5 . I also told him I am going be with kids is it ok for smoking while with the family he said no problem and I asked him if it is a family spot he said yes .After 1 hour driving arrived exactly at 5 pm Of course George wasn't there and his manager hussein or something like that he said outside is booked and kids can not be with us while smoking .my point is don't trust or believe those people just trying to get you in .and it is not a family place .called Phoenicia restaurant in Glendale reserved a table for 9 after arriving at 6pm we had a nice dinner Almaza lost a great customer and lost $500 we spent at the other restaurant
