Overall, it was a terrible experience: Pricing Overcharge: The Tahdig with Gheimeh was listed as $6.99 on the menu, but I was charged $13.99! To make matters worse, the Gheimeh was literally just split peas and tomato paste--not a single piece of meat in it. Poor Food Quality: The Chenjeh was incredibly tough and chewy, while the Joojeh was way too spicy/peppery. As for the Koobideh, it ended up giving me a severe stomach ache. I ended up paying around $100 for just 3 portions of food. It is honestly mind-boggling how we are expected to pay such exorbitant prices for such low-quality food these days. I definitely do not recommend this place.

Wow what a scam. Typically, I love coming to this establishment, however totally disappointed today 8/7/26. Got an ad in a local magazine YESTERDAy for a that said they had to buy one get one free sole entree. We just left there at 11:30 and they said they're " sold out" so in one hour that you've been open, you sold out out of the fish?? or was that just false advertisement to get people in the door - and while honestly, I love their chicken and could've eaten there I didn't because it's just they never put out coupons and when they do, it's for something that doesn't exist. I don't believe they're sold out (the coupon just came in the mail yesterday) don't believe they have any sole at all and maybe never did, but that's their story and they're sticking into it.

Al Hamra Kabob Grill is a restaurant run by a Pakistani owner, specializing in kebabs and grilled…read moremeats inspired by Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. The menu also features traditional Pakistani, Persian, and Arabic dishes, such as Beef Nihari and Haleem. After several visits, here are my thoughts on some of their grilled meats and desserts. Beef Kofta - 3/5. The kofta was a bit dry and tough. I wish it had more fat and seasoning to make it juicier and more flavorful. The grilling is also somewhat inconsistent--sometimes the kofta comes out beautifully browned, while other times it's over-charred. Grilled Fish - 4/5. This is easily my favorite item on the menu and, in my opinion, their best dish. The fish is seasoned just enough to enhance its natural flavor without overpowering it. It's grilled very well, developing a beautiful golden-brown crust while remaining moist and tender inside. Beef Shish Kebab - 3.5/5. The quality of the beef is decent, especially considering the price. Given the cut of meat they use, they've done a commendable job with the grilling. The beef has a solid seasoning base and a nice sear with just enough char to add flavor without becoming overly smoky. It's reasonably tender, though I wish it retained a bit more juiciness. Chicken Shish Kebab - 3.5/5. Very similar to the beef shish kebab. It has good flavor and is grilled well, but it could benefit from being a little juicier. Gyro - 2/5. Unfortunately, this was the biggest disappointment. The gyro meat on the vertical spit often appears to be rotating without enough heat to properly caramelize and crisp the exterior. As a result, the meat comes across as dry, rubbery, and lacking the rich roasted flavor that makes a great gyro. Kunafa (Knafeh) - 3/5. This dessert has both strengths and weaknesses. The cheese filling has a pleasant, slightly salty flavor and a creamy texture, and I appreciate that it isn't overly sweet. However, the syrup is underwhelming. A good kunafa should be generously coated with a fragrant sugar syrup - ideally infused with rose water or orange blossom water - to provide sweetness and aroma. I also wish the kataifi, the shredded pastry dough, were crispier and lighter to create a better contrast with the gooey cheese filling. Overall, Al Hamra Kabob Grill is one of the better places to enjoy Middle Eastern-style grilled dishes in the South Bay. While a few menu items could be improved, the grilled fish stands out as excellent, and the shish kebabs are solid choices. The owner is also incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a warm, neighborhood atmosphere that keeps customers coming back. It's not perfect, but it's a restaurant I enjoy visiting from time to time and one I'd recommend if you're craving grilled Middle Eastern flavors.

I will be coming back and a possible frequent flyer now. Everyone worked so hard and was hospitable. My recommendations: go with the chicken kabob plates over the shawarma -- the shawarma's are still very good but the kabob is so unique and out of this world. You'll understand what I mean when I rank them so highly. We had one plate with shawarma and fries that was 10/10. Fries were perfectly made even 10 minutes before closing. I ordered the chicken kabob plate with extra salad instead of rice or fries. The hummus is my top 5 in LA. I'm so glad I got to randomly try this after having an itch for Arabic food. Because I told one of the workers how delicious and unreal it was... they gave me a free baklava and refused to let us walk out without it.

There was live music as well the evening we were there, but it isn't every day from what I gathered. The interior is really nice -- the kind of place that feels thoughtfully put together rather than generic. There's also outdoor seating. Our server was fantastic. We ended up having great conversations -- warm, thoughtful, brief life experiences chats, the kind of service that actually adds to the experience rather than just taking your order. One small but important detail just from my point of view - they've placed a little board with their name outside near the curb. Turns out it's basically become a public service -- cars used to cut over and bump on that curved curb outside the library all the time - the little board has put a stop to it. Says a lot about the kind of thoughtful, community-minded people running this place. Highly recommended!
