We had a last minute plan yesterday and we wanted to be at a hookah place, i was surprised they took us last minute reservation for 9 of us , and im glad they did. honestly we thought it was expensive for our budget but it was worth it, the service the food the ambience matches the price, We were on a set menu cuz its a big group, 69 per person before tax or tip, But there was plenty of food and really good i give it 10/10 Hookah is 65 ( very pricey) but also one of the cleanest and best hookah we had Gotta mention that all restaurants in that area they put u on preset menu per person and they charge almost around that price -5 $ or 10$ They close around 10 The server who took care of us was very polite and attentive, the guy is amazing honestly i wish i asked his name so i can compliment his efforts. We will be back to try other items on menu

This place never disappoints me!! I highly recommend making reservations, especially for Friday and Saturday nights. The staff is incredibly friendly, and our waitress was very attentive, offering helpful recommendations from the menu. On Saturday night, they have Spanish guitar music and belly dancing, which adds to the experience. Everything we ordered--from drinks to appetizers and main courses--arrived quickly and was absolutely delicious. Definitely will be returning soon!!

I just visited this amazing place. It seems that they have a great venue and extremely cozy and welcoming. We will definitely trice the food and services soon. Great ambiance in Encino.

Big fan. Some of the best seasoned chicken breast I've had maybe ever at a Mediterranean place. Loved the zataar labne, falafel, cheese boreg also. Their house made pita is fantastic. Great service, super cute place, and even good live music on a Sunday (and usually I think music is annoying while I'm trying to talk to people). Suggested Improvements: $6 for an iced tea is unnecessary. Still not sure why we were brought two bottles of water to pay for when we just wanted tap water. The pita that comes with the dishes is store bought and should be house made. Chicken breast kebab is nearly $30 for a single skewer with five small pieces and a ton of rice.

This is an outdoor restaurant with a roof cover so please dress accordingly! They do have space heaters but I always need an extra jacket even with those. They offer hookah that I didn't spot on the menu so if you have sensitive lungs be aware as other tables near you can be smoking. Parking can be done via paid metered parking on Ventura OR if you come after 5 pm or on a holiday or a Sunday in the nearby Wells Fargo parking lot. Our waitress was kind and lovely and told us on weekends from 8:30-10 they have belly dancers perform! but recommended making a reservation during these times to guarantee seating. The portions are large (we took 1/2 home each) and fresh. I will absolutely be returning and likely during said belly dancing performances. LA sunset - 4/5, I loved the combo of vodka : cucumber : mint though it was not a strong drink Ras Kebbel (Ishli Kofta) 5/5, well seasoned tasty beef stuffed inside that pairs beautifully with lemon juice drizzled on top but the shell is a little hard and thereby challenging to bite through Combo beef and chicken lulas 4.5/5 This comes with a mildly spicy sauce as well as a garlic sauce. The spice especially paired well with the chicken Lula. The rice was seasoned and this plate comes with a baked tomato. Chicken shawarma 5/5, my mom got this, noted it comes with pickled radishes, onions, and pickles. The shawarma was well seasoned and soft and melted in your mouth. The paired rice was well cooked and seasoned well.

Randomly pick this place just because of the location and where my friends and I normally meet. It was such a pleasant surprise. The ambience is perfect. It was kind of chilly. The heaters were on your kind of outside. There's twinkly lights everywhere. It was great. The food was also fantastic. We shared the sampler with the dips and pita, and then we all really enjoyed our entrées. . I had the beef combo plate and the filet mignon and even the Lula were cooked to perfection. My friends had the vegetable and the chicken Shawarma and they loved it.. We felt compelled to order dessert, even though we don't normally order dessert, the Napoleon suggested by our waiter and we got it delicious. Kavi was our server and he was so terrific. He was patient. He was knowledgeable. He gave us a suggestions and just overall seems like a really kind person. The restaurant managers name is Joey. We let him know his team member and he's pretty great himself.. Highly recommend in general, and definitely a great option for date night or special dinner . Was told they have belly dancers and live on the weekends and reservations are encouraged. I would give this place 10 out of 10 if I could.!

If you arrive after 5pm park next door in the Wells Fargo parking lot. The garage closes at 10:30 on weekdays at least so you will have to move your car. The ambiance is romantic with minimal elegant decor. Our server Elle was warm and very helpful the entire night. I ordered the lamb chops which were good but I would have enjoyed my entree more if it was hotter. We were celebrating my birthday so ended the meal with the French Napoleon. I think it's my new favorite dessert, the texture is perfect. Light and delicious!

my boyfriend suprirised me with dinner here -- at first i was not that excited because most of the mediteranean spots are very MID and always disappoint because i feel like their menus are lazy and lackluster... but the inside was fire, they had a belly dancer come with burning candled on her head it was really cool to watch -- they did have hookah everywhere but the ventillation was so good that it didnt get smelly -- the staff was OK, nothing too special they did the bare minimum -- the food tho was GREAT and very filling. It was better than LAYA -- the new lebanese mediteranean spot that everyone is obsessed with in hollywood. okay so for the food -- we got two appetizers, the Mantee (9.5/10) it was tasty and very unique. then we got the Cheese Boreg -- it was OKAY but i wish it was piping hot inside -- it was weird bc the outside was hot the inside was cold. my chicken kabob was FIRE i highly recommend the combo -- overall WE WILL BE BACK!
