    The worst service and Mediterranean food ever! I ordered a falafel sandwich and menu said it was served on a pita. It took 20 minute...oh did I say me and my husband were the only ones there...when I got my dish it was in a flour tortilla! Really?? My husband finished his lunch before my pita sandwich came to the table.

    a table full of food

    What amazing food and experience I had at this lovely restaurant. The food was truly amazing and flavored to perfection. The humus was perfect, loved the roasted flavor, the dressing on the tabouli I could bathing in, so good. The kafta kebabs were my favorite. The chicken and filet minion excellent, wish I could have eaten more. There was this pomegranate sauce was from another world. People you really should go dine at this establishment and do the preset menu, you wouldn't be disappointed!

    I had the pleasure visiting Dandana today and I was more than pleased!! The atsmosphere is great and beautifully decorated with a cute stage for entertaining. The food was excellent. It was fresh, tasty, and embodied all the great flavors you get from authentic mediterranean food. I was able to enjoy a few appetizers- hummus, mutabal, and grape leaves. For entrees we were able to have the kebab, falafel, and the kefta. Excellent!! You can taste the quality and freshness in all the food. Last but not least, I had the pleasure of meeting the owner Johnny and he wash very friendly, hospitable, and make sure that we received the best service. Overall, this has been a great experience and I would highly recommend this place to anyone frequenting the Glendora area.

    Dandana have amazing atmosphere, hookah is great there and the food so testy, the stuff very professional and friendly, do yourself a favor and visit this plus 5 stars restaurant and indulge in the most delicious Middle Eastern food and welcoming environment

    Is the food Halal?

    It doesn't state it anywhere. Also, they serve alcohol. While I can't say 100%, I highly doubt the meats are halal here.

    This review is based on my visit on the morning of Valentine's Day…read more This place popped up on a search for coffee in the area. It was only a 2 minute walk from where we were so we decided to check it out. On the outside was a holiday themed drink menu and the Butter Me Up sounded like something we'd enjoy. It was a cookie butter latte which whipped cookie butter and a cookie crumble on top. It may sound very sweet but it was actually perfectly balanced and allowed the strength of the espresso to come through. The barista was very kind and patient with us. She also let us know that they were hosting a karaoke night later that day. We waited in the patio connected to the cafe for our drinks. It was a very lovely day so the sun and scenery was nice and peaceful. Definitely looking forward to another visit

    I've been a regular customer here for quite some time and have always made a purchase when…read morevisiting, whether it's a coffee, Coke, or food. Today, my friend and I ordered a Coke and an ice water and sat in the lounge area to work on assignments. The café was far from full, with only a couple of other people in the lounge and plenty of open seating available. After about an hour, the owner came over and rudely told us we were "holding two tables over a Coke" and pressured us to order more. I understand businesses need customers to make purchases, but there is a respectful way to communicate that. What made the situation worse was that after I ordered a coffee, she immediately turned to my friend and basically stared him down with a strict look, clearly expecting him to order something too. I explained that we were going to split the coffee, because we're both trying to lose weight, but she continued making the situation uncomfortable. Staring down a customer and making them feel pressured to spend more money is not how you treat paying customers. What makes this even more frustrating is that the menu is already severely overpriced for what is offered. On multiple occasions, I've heard the microwave running while food was being prepared. Paying premium prices for what appears to be microwaved food is disappointing enough without being pressured to spend even more. Even though we only ordered a Coke initially, and have only done that once before, we were still spending money. As regular customers who come here often, you would think that would be appreciated rather than criticized. Be thankful people are still choosing to spend money at your business. Honestly, after today's experience, it's no wonder this place is often empty. Customer service and hospitality matter, and making customers feel unwelcome, guilty, or pressured to spend more is a great way to drive them away. The interaction was uncomfortable enough that I asked for my food to be packed to go and left. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. It's a cafe, not a 5 star restaurant. People want to come here to work on assignments or have a coffee and talk. Even though I didn't want to spend 9 dollars on a coffee, I still purchased something. Edit from her Google response: Now you guys see what type of owner she is by her response. Truly, truly a fake person, and we always spend money coming here (now she wants to lie and manipulate since I have her attention). I always purchase a coffee and more, and I have receipts to prove it. I do not use her WiFi for free, as I am not a rude person unlike her. I don't just order a soda like this owner claims; see my receipts on my credit card. My friend and I ordered drinks and were talking and doing assignments for about half an hour (while she and her waiter came up to us like 10 times to ask us to order, even though this is a cafe), even though we said we would order later. If you're broke, just say so, lady. Trust me, at this rate, this place will close down soon. Like I said, this is a cafe where people come to have a drink, relax, talk, study, or work on assignments; not a restaurant where customers are expected to order a full meal every time they sit down. We purchased drinks, planned to order more later, and were still repeatedly approached and pressured to order. Please do yourself a favor and stop lying to the public. I did not come here four times and just use the WiFi. I paid for the WiFi with my extremely expensive and disgusting coffee and food, which is shown below in the receipts. I did not buy $2 sodas every time. The receipts I attached are from my card, but on many of the other visits my friend paid with his card and spent just as much. So trying to claim that we were sitting here for free or only ordering a soda is simply not true.Now that I have proved you wrong in front of the public, I hope everyone sees you for who you are. You are a money-hungry liar! Lastly, you are right; you're not Starbucks. Starbucks would not treat customers that way, and I'd much rather spend my money at Starbucks anyway.Glad we're on the same page!

Found it during Covid when the huge outdoor patio allowed them to stay open and it quickly became one of our regular spots. The food is consistently good and full of flavor. The combo plates are usually my go to, especially the spicy combo. Portions are solid and it's the kind of meal that always hits the spot. The owner Adam is amazing and goes above and beyond for customers. Even on delivery orders he makes sure special requests are taken care of, which says a lot about how much he cares about the experience. They have a full bar and a great selection of beers on draft, and the hookah option makes it a fun place to hang out and spend time with friends. Great food, great hospitality, and a really good vibe. Definitely a spot to check out and I'll be back again soon.

Overall the decor was great and the room space was wonderful for the events. I believe there was approximately 350 guests and each table had more than enough food to serve everyone. The servers were attentive to clearing the tables and overall that made the experience better. The only downside is single-use restrooms so that created a delay for both the men and women's bathrooms.
