Hadeel Omer: Pleasantly surprised by how good this was! Get the fried chicken plate or the mezzo plate which has falafel and lamb. Generous portions too.
LA Weekly: The fried falafel balls are flecked with green herbs & have a distinctly sour/sumac taste, and the sandwich is rendered more piquant by the gorgeous pickles, arugula & assorted fried bits piled on top Read more.
woody thompson: The falafel plate never disappoints, the fried chicken is niiiiice, the people watching is top drawer.

Andy Ni: Duck hummus, oyster mushroom skewers, and the wagyu oxtail tagone were delicious
Marcelo Garcia: Overrated. Had the lamb, the mushrooms, the scallops, and the babaganoush which was by far the best thing but then again you can make it at home or just get it at any middle eastern cafe.
Michael Alderete: Lamb shawarma was amazing. Grilled prawns were sublime. Both desserts were excellent, with unusual, contrasting flavors.

Jamin Warren: Everything. Crispy rice with egg yolk, Persian cucumber, and babari bread with feta
Steven Lambiase: one of the city’s best tomato-stewed shakshukas, and the poached eggs that go along with it
Juliette Somnolet: The side of crispy rice and the scallops ❤️

The Taste Sheriff: Fantastic little Serbian hidden place in the middle of nowhere in West LA. Try the cevapi (beef patty with herbs), borek (cheese-phyllo cigars), and the shepherds salad. Laid back ambience.
Justin Ordoveza: Love the Turkish coffee here. It's done just right served with Turkish delight.
Nuri Tutkun: Great food, but service is a bit slow. Still worth trying.

Josef Szotten: Best falafel this side of the Middle East. Just have the falafel & hummus plate and you can thank me later.
Doug de Wet: As other tipsters have noted, the falafel sandwich is fab, wonderful flavors and textures. The staff is warm and welcoming. Small space has nice feel but dining area can be cramped.
Kristen Maguire: This place blew me away. The humus & falafel plate with tabbouleh was absolutely insane. This was easily the best falafel I’ve ever had.

Tuğba Aydemir Ertürk: Joe is a fantastic owner. He came to our table and we had a warm chat! Humus and falafel, combo grill were all tasty. The prices are really reasonable. If you are lucky, Joe may offer you a cake.
DJ Jenkins: Everything is amazing. LA Weekly gave it best falafel in LA. Don't miss the gyro, humus, falafel, and beef kabob
Sofia Lim: The lafa bread is soooo good :)
