    BBQ Chicken Pizza

    Amazing food and quick service. One complaint I have is that they gave us pizza but did not bring any utensils or plates. We were forced to use napkins as plates.

    Chicken tostada salad
    Stan C.

    Meeting friends for lunch at Crave. 1 PM on a Friday - no problem getting parking (on the north end of the Fallbrook Mall) and no problem getting a table. You order at the counter and they bring the food out when it is ready. I ordered the chicken tostada salad ($18). A decent sized portion loaded with chicken, guac, sour cream, and lots and lots of beans. Tasty and very filling. A bit pricey for a fast food restaurant salad. One of my buddies got a different chicken salad. The chicken was dried out and barely edible. Another got the waffles. Also described as meh. Same for the hamburger. Based on my dish alone, I would have gone with 4 stars. But each of friends really didn't care for the food and we won't be going back. Hence the 3 stars rating.

    First time at Crave Cafe in West Hills. I really liked the outside patio which is covered. The inside is like a combination of industrial, rustic, garage type of decor with the garage glass panels. We ordered the 1/2 lb. chicken burrito (came with potato chips) $16.50. Order at the counter. Free refills fountain drinks. Received good customer service even though the young guy seemed to be new, which is great! Overall, it was good.

    Feeling Basic Acai Bowl

    Came into restaurant around closing time. This was my first time in this restaurant and first experience was below average :( I ordered an Açaí bowl and I had to check on my order since it was taking longer than 15 mins. They gave me a bowl which reminded me of a soup lol was not representative of a traditional açaí bowl I've had at other places. The panini came out faster and it was good. Overall, I will come back to try other menu items and give this place a second try. Good vibes inside.

    Beef shawarma with fries! The white sauce is . Shout out to the owner and staff, great music, good atmosphere. Definitely a must return!

    Nutella Strawberry Nutella Crepe
    Bella S.

    Really nice, big, and pretty place. We came during a dead time too which was peaceful. The crepe was ok. Kinda pricey for very little Nutella on a Nutella and strawberry crepe. And whipped cream was $1 extra so the crepe itself was around $17 with tax. I work at a place that sells crepes so I just naturally have to compare lol. It was an ok crepe

    Raspberry cake
    Yaniv M.

    I've been to Crave Cafe a few times. It's a nice place with a good vibe, and the service is friendly, but at the end of the day it's a restaurant and the food should stand out. I tried the Mediterranean salad and later their house salad with apples, and honestly, it just felt like something I could easily make at home. Nothing really special about it. I also got a slice of the raspberry cake -- it was okay, but nothing more. Overall, it was fine, but not enough for me to want to come back.

    Had the Thai Tea Boba  It was good
    Lina R.

    Such a great place with great food! Was there for lunch on 9/15 and I had never been there before. First off, it's quite nice inside. Modern, clean and just a nice vibe. Has an outdoor patio to eat at when the weather is nice. I had the Garlic Aioli Burger. You can choose what type of cheese you want and they have a nice variety to choose from. I went with Feta. Great flavor with a nice Brioche Bun. You can choose your side and I went with fries, which were so good. Nice and crispy. Food overall was just really good. Definitely recommend! Can't wait to go back!!

    Philly Cheese Steak Panini
    Christina W.

    Plenty of available seating on a Saturday afternoon. Cute large outdoor patio aswell. We ordered at the counter and didn't have to wait long for our food and drinks to come out. Our sandwiches and drinks were great. My one complaint is that my panini wasn't warm, but luckily the fries were super hot. Would definitely come back again, as they have a very large menu for whatever mood you're in.

    Al-Ha-Esh Kosher Grill - Pargiot plate

    Al-Ha-Esh Kosher Grill

    Al-Ha-Esh is an Israeli eatery in West Hills, that only recently popped up on my culinary radar. I…read morehad to go. The place is small but vibrant with orange color everywhere, including the seats. The background Israeli music is soft and the vocals are brilliant. You feel lke dancing. The aroma is that of Kababs, falafel and more. Yes, if you closed your eyes, forgot that you are in the valley, you may actually be in a small cafe, in Jerusalem. I came here for a carry out lunch (like I always). What attracted me about the menu was that it was small. Ne way to look at it is, that they have mastered all those items on the menu. My interest though lay mainly on one item, the Pargiot skewer. Essentially, an Israeli baby chicken, where the boneless skinless chicken thighs are marinated in herbs and grilled for succulence and taste. A first for me. I ordered one skewer a la carte ($11). It lived up to its reputation. Not only flavorful, but with a different satisfying chicken bite and texture. If anything, it was slightly over cooked. You have to get falafel when you are at an Israeli place. Here each costs $0.75 and I added six of them to the order and requested extra tahini. While you can get falafel in most middle eastern restaurants, they are never the same. This one seems to have hit the mark in a unique way. The stuffing had more greenery, hence accentuating the fragrance, mouthfeel and taste. One of the best, if not the best. Tahini was also superb, with the right amount of viscosity and flow. Service was exceptional.

    After seeing a bunch of online reviews and ads for Al-Ha-Esh, I had to head in for their Ribeye…read moreShawarma (Tuesdays & Thursdays only) -- and I wasn't the only one with that mission: it was calm when I arrived a little before noon, but by the time I left every seat at every table was taken (inside and out), and there was a line of people waiting to order. So this is a very popular place, and with very good reason. Al-Ha-Esh is a fast-casual spot in the shopping center on Vanowen, just West of Fallbrook, adjacent to the Chuck E. Cheese. It's small but very welcoming, nicely kept, and decked out in orange decor. You order at the counter and then they either bring the food to you (plates and platters) or call you up to customize your sandwich from their salad bar, which has at least a dozen options, from hummus and veggies to a variety of salads, pickles, peppers and hot sauces. As I was alone, I ordered the ribeye shawarma in pita, electing to only add onions and hot sauce. The pita, warmed and charred on the open flame, was stuffed to the brim with meat and onions, and a healthy dose of the hot sauce. It was a hefty portion to say the least and, unbeknownst to me, came with a side of fresh-cut, fresh-made French fries, which were good but could have been crispier. Digging into the Ribeye Shawarma was a pleasant treat. The meat was well-seasoned and very tasty; and despite being roasted on the spit, the meat was served medium/pink, and retained a good deal of its moistness. The richness of the tender, flavorful steak was nicely balanced by the bite of the raw onion and hot sauce -- I think if I had opted for the available hummus or other such condiments, it would have been too rich (though these add-ons would fit perfectly with chicken or leaner cuts). The pita bread was substantive, puffy and very tasty rather than the flat, nearly Wonder Bread type you get at many similar places, and using it to grab some steak & onions with the hot sauce made for a very satisfying bite. Service is friendly and quick, and the man prepping my pita seemed genuinely disappointed that I didn't want more things stuffed in. "That's all?" he said... Yes, for just me, that's all. Though I look forward to going back with at least one other person and ordering a platter that allows us to try a number of their other salads and spreads with the meat and pita. But either way, this little, family-run place deserves some attention, and you should head in for a bountiful, very tasty meal.
