It is amaaaaazing. I also love that you can customize your sweetness level because the topper syrup is packaged separately. The knafeh is also amazing. And, everyone in there is incredibly friendly. I'm so happy this establishment is close to me. I can rest easy knowing ashta pudding is only 5 minutes away.

I don't order very often from them. I don't know why, but I really like their food!…read moreI ordered it from there today: potato mushroom and beef bureks, a Brazilian meat Sifha ( my first time let's see if I like it) some tahini bread, fresh made, and my favorite of all the Z Factory which looks like a pizza with black olives, cheese, and basil dummy so tasty! Malek is the owner and always take good care of my ordered items: you can tell he wants to make sure his customers are satisfied ‼

Dinner with a friend on Friday night called for Mediterranean cuisine. Although we have a few…read morefavorites around town, we decided to try someplace new. Surprisingly this restaurant was pretty empty, especially considering that it was a Friday night. I suspect that has more to do with the location than anything else because the service was great and the food was delicious. We started with the babaganoush appetizer which we both enjoyed immensely. Then we each ordered an entree. We have very similar taste so we got the same thing - the lamb combo plate which came with one lule kebab and one lamb kebab. Both were delicious. We finished our meal with Armenian ice cream and baklava. Tip: the baklava is delicious when eaten with the ice cream. Trust me on this. If you're looking for a quiet Mediterranean restaurant, try Cafe Elegante.

I had almost finished my entire meal by the time my drink finally arrived -- and after all that waiting, they brought me the WRONG drink! The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is the lahmacun. The lahmacun is honestly 5 stars -- really delicious and probably the only thing I would order again. But I'm definitely not coming back to dine here. It's not worth dealing with this kind of service just for the lahmacun. Next time, I'll just order the lahmacun for pickup and get everything else from another restaurant.

It was my first time going to a Lebanese restaurant and Hayat's Kitchen was spectacular!…read more Hayat's Kitchen located in the center corner of a mini shopping center on the corner of Vineland Avenue & Burbank Boulevard in North Hollywood. Beautifully shaded outdoor patio with lush green astroturf carpeting. The outdoor seating area is dog friendly. The tables are decorated with beautiful placemats, plates and rolled up silverware. The waiter was friendly, placed a basket of pita bread for the table and helped describe some of the Lebanese dishes for me. Ordered an iced tea, fries and a chicken wrap. Went inside of the restaurant to use the restroom and on my way I saw the amazing desserts station, vintage serving trays & gold coffee pots, some classic framed photos of Lebanon on the walls, the kitchen and the indoor dining area. This was an amazing lunch and will come back to try more of the delicious food!

We really loved everything except the pitas. Would have been nice if they were warmed up at least.

Ordered two of the standard dinner and two of the vegan dinner and it was a lots of food--we ended up taking about 4 boxes to go at the end of the meal, definitely come hungry if you decide to do the set menu. My personal favorite was the falafel and the baba ghanoush, especially with the pomegranate seeds which provided a nice brightness. I appreciated the variety of flavors across the different appetizers and plates. Had the choice of coffee, hot mint tea, or hot black tea to close out the meal which helped with digestion. The space is lavishly decorated and it was busy throughout, while likely also was the cause for slower service. Street parking wasn't too hard to find as it was still early for dinner time on Sunday.

Sorta used to be one of my go-to places, especially since it's within walking distance of my house…read more Unfortunately, my last two orders have been noticeably different from the quality and portions I had received in the past, and yesterday's order was especially disappointing. I ordered chicken breast, and the portions were surprisingly inconsistent. One piece was a reasonable size, while the other was significantly smaller and did not feel like a proper portion. The biggest disappointment was the Caesar salad with salmon. It came with only two very small pieces of salmon--approximately 1.5 ounces total. Honestly, even my cat would have been disappointed with that portion! It genuinely looked like they were down to their last small piece of salmon and divided it between the salad. As someone who is Persian and grew up eating this type of food regularly, I'm very familiar with the flavors, quality, and portions I would expect. Unfortunately, the food this time was well below average, both in taste and value. I would rate the taste about 2/10. It's especially disappointing because I previously enjoyed ordering from Sorta and appreciated having a convenient neighborhood option so close to home. But after two disappointing experiences in a row, I can't justify the price for the portions and quality I received. Sadly, I don't see myself returning. It's very sad that u spend 77$ for lunch for two and not be satisfied

What I loved was the amount of freshness on my plate full of color! Sometimes eating healthy seems repetitive, punitive and you have to have the conversation with yourself that food is fuel.

They offer a variety of chicken dishes, bowls and wraps as well as some dessert and canned drinks. The restaurant is small but has more than enough room for a few tables inside and out. Takeout is welcome and you can also order Togo!

It's a bright, clean, neutral open space that is beautiful and lends itself well for large groups. It's had a recent renovation that added a full bar and beautiful light fixtures. I'm not much of a drinker so I skipped the bar this time and dove right into some appetizers. Hummus, chiblinkis, and dolma to start along with some bread. They serve healthy portions so I knew we ordered too much food but that's ok we live close and took some home before heading to the game. Next up we had the combo plate that had both beef and chicken and we also ordered the Cornish hen. Both entrees come with half a pot of rice it seemed, along with a tomato and an Anaheim chili that were also charred to perfection like the meat. The meats were lovely, perfectly seasonad and kissed by fire, making them juicy and tasty. This is a hearty meal that won't leave you hungry and defies expectations. It's a kebab but it's more, simple, yummy and grilled just right. We ordered one of their alternative rice dishes which had barberries (cherries) it's different but it works! Service was good not great but the meal more than made up for it being a bit sluggish. They have parking along the side of the building which isn't enough but I think you can probably park along the street too.

Not only is the inside seating completely upgraded, they also refined their flavors and seasoning. Our group of six got 2 ribs, 2 chicken, and 2 beef koobideh, Persian salad, hummus and eggplant dip.
