Every time we can't decide on what we want to eat we always forget Mediterranean I remember seeing this place when ever I went to get my hair cut so we decided to give it a go and we were very happy. The food was excellent and plentiful. I had a combo Kabob two kinds of beef, chicken and rice, added the salad which was huge. My partner had a Gyro salad again huge. Service was great, food arrived quickly and hot... well except for the salads they were the appropriate temp for salads. The place is small be really nice lots of TV's likely for sports. Will definitely be going back they have quite the menu with lots of Veggie options if meat isn't your thing. read more

I asked if I could try a piece and it was amazing. I ordered the Kebabs for main and Baba Ganoosh(?) for appetizer, and I couldn't stop eating.

I also placed my order close to closing time, not realizing they were closing soon and when I called about it the staff was extremely nice and said it wasn't a problem at all and that my food would be ready for me by the time I got there which it was.

I saw nothing but glowing reviews for this place so I had to give it a try. I ordered the chicken salad everyone was raving about. And I was extremely disappointed by the ingredient quality. The only reason I gave this review two stars is because the flavor was delicious but the actual salad had old rotten lettuce (not cut up enough) and giant chunks of tomatoes. It looks nothing like the menu photos online and on DoorDash. Not sure I'll ever order from here again as I felt it was nearly inedible because I was worried it would make me sick. Even the chicken was not cut up enough and came in giant over cooked chunks. read more

And the chicken shish kebab was just as impressive--tender, juicy, beautifully grilled, and full of incredible flavor. The chicken had that perfect combination of a delicious char on the outside while staying moist and succulent inside. Honestly, I could have eaten another plate! The combination of the smoky grilled meat, aromatic seasonings, and fresh ingredients made this meal seriously mouth-watering.

The Falafel was AWFUL... As a passionate food enthusiast who has had the opportunity to indulge in culinary delights from around the world, I must express my disappointment with the dining experience at this particular restaurant. Despite my wife's well-intentioned gesture of treating me to a Falafel Sandwich, I found the quality of the dish to be DISGUSTING !!! The Falafel Sandwich, comprised of falafels, tomatoes, parsley, turnips, hummus, and tahini, was a far cry from the delectable meal I had anticipated. The tahini had an unpleasant odor and taste, indicating spoilage. The hummus was so unappetizing that it caused me to throw up , the falafel itself was lackluster in flavor. Considering the exorbitant price of $140 for this meal, I was left feeling utterly dissatisfied. I would have preferred to indulge in a humble Big Mac from McDonald's over this disappointing fare. It is disheartening to see a restaurant capitalize on its location on Ventura Blvd to justify serving overpriced and unpalatable food. Upon seeking feedback from my brother regarding the Gyro Sandwich, his comparison to "Friday's BBQ leftovers on a cold Monday afternoon" further solidified my disappointment in the quality of the cuisine offered at this establishment. It is my hope that the management takes this critique constructively and strives to improve the overall dining experience for future patrons. read more

So I had to make these guys a yelp page cause it's only right! The best service and food you can honestly get! I love it! Rosie & Elie made sure everything was just right for us. We had probably the best leg of lamb i've ever had in my entire life it melted like butter in our mouths, the kabobs were grilled to perfection and the salad with their in house dressing OMGG!! Amazing! The homemade kibbi rolls and the hand rolled grape leaves were too die for and whatever Rosie adds to it takes it straight over the top and lands you right into heaven. The hummus and baba ganouj (sorry don't know how to spell it hehe) was great as well. Elie makes baklava that would put the any bakery too shame any day of the week and at the end of it they made you feel just like family. This is the only place i will ever go for my caterings! Point blank this is not the best mediterranean food in LA, it's the best mediterranean in California! Thank you guys so much for everything! read more

I had lunch here the other day and every part of it was a horrible experience. First, I waited 10 minutes for anyone to acknowledge me, then another 10 minutes for him to comeback to take my order. I ordered the falafel plate and it was disgusting. They were overcooked and you can tell that they don't change the oil in the fryer. As soon as the guy (only guy working in the kitchen) brought my food, he clocked out and left. There was a guy in the corner that was just zoned out watching TV on his phone who I figured was the owner or manager because after about 45 minutes past the time I finished my lunch he got a call for a phone order and passed by me while going to the kitchen. I could have easily just walked out without paying and without him noticing. read more

I have always liked this place and recently they are delivering food which is great. Since we have a baby now it has been hard to go out much. Overall the food is good. Here is why I only gave them only 2 stars.. We called for delivery and requested adding chicken to a salad (we obviously offered to pay). The guy on the phone asked the lady in the background and she replied "salad is salad, no chicken!". He came back to the phone and apologized. I wasn't asking for free food!! Just wanted to add chicken to our salad. Well, guess we can cross this place off our list of options. Hopefully one day they can step up on their customer service and catch up with the rest of the world where adding chicken to a salad isn't crazy talk. read more

We stopped au Café du Liban for "a little bite to eat" in the afternoon, only to meet John (the owner) who recommended his chicken liver sandwich with home made laffa bread. We ended up eating home made snacks (pickeled cabbage, roasted nuts, falafel, chicken liver sandwich and backlava "on the house". What a feast!!!! The laffa was so fresh and the chicken lever sandwich so tasty! I'm not a backlava fan but I actually enjoyed theirs... Light and sweeten to perfection... (Usually over sweeten and soggy). Useles to say that we didn't eat dinner that day... But I am very happy to have found that place... Great food, very nice atmosphere and passionate owner. I strongly recommend! read more

The food tastes very good, unfortunately it has become a standard middle easter restaurant. Don't get me wrong, the food is good but, it lost its unique touch from the original owners. The Mother and Father who started the cafe had such a unique Lebanese Cuisine Menu (Frogs Legs, Raw Meat Dish w/ Toasted Pita and a shot of Uzo, etc.) that was so different and incredibly tasty. The current menu is middle easter and has very good tasting food, but knowing what it used to be, kinda kills it for me going there. If you are looking for an easy, local, bite with a good local vibe, then Cafe Du Liban is your spot! read more

Had the beef kabob and it came with two sides. Not a bad deal for 13 dollars. I had the lentil soup and salad as my sides. The lentils were vey tasty and soft. The salad was a nice mix and had a great dressing on it. The beef, when I bit into it, came off with each bite. Did not have to pull off the rest of the beef. Tells you how soft the beef was cooked. The garlic sauce was delicious and the owner brought me my own side as well. The environment was very relaxing and the owner is a wonderful person. I would highly recommend this establishment for lunch and/or dinner. read more

Cafe du Liban is an exceptional find located in a small strip mall. Their food possesses the quality found in larger and more famous restaurants. Our dinner featured large servings, highlighted by tasty beef kebabs. Marination gave them a pleasant and tangy taste. The vegetables came out just right, with good texture and flavor. Hummus and rice were fresh and ample. Employees exceptionally friendly and helpful. Facilities are clean. Truly a fine dining experience worth seeking. Highly recommended. read more

This is our favorite local restaurant! We order as we are leaving where ever we are, and pick dinner up on our way home.

Rice portion is a little bit on the smaller size, but they're generous enough with the pita bread. The knafeh, on the other hand, was lacking. I've had this popular dessert that is more moist, warm, and sweet, but the version here is hard and not too flavorful. It was as if the kataifi dough was over hardened. I had to use a knife to cut it (didn't get an extra knife so I used my dinner knife) and it wasn't easy to cut. It's also a bit absurd that this cost $13, too. I also never got my glass of water until my plate was out, and even though I was the only customer, the waitress wasn't around other than to take my order.
