    Chicken shawarma plate
    Saira S.

    Great hookah restaurant in the heart of the city! Food is good too, I recommend the chicken shawarma plate. Staff is friendly and efficient!

    Hummus
    Danny A.

    Although disappointed in the environment. We expected live music and or loud music when dinning. Unfortunately, that was a bust. We also called ahead of time and was told it starts around 9pm. We ordered Hummus and Pita, and unfortunately that was a bust as well, the hummus lacked flavor and the pita bread was served cold, until we asked. We decided to leave, but the owner showed her face and was apologetic. Ensured our food would be good. But given the fact the environment and the pita was not the best impression we canceled our order,and left. We hope this can improve and we will return.

    Hookah
    Rami B.

    Hands down the best hookah spot in LA. Their food is phenomenal, and their hookah lasts forever. Great place to come by yourself or with a group. I love this place because the music is not loud at all and it's very relaxing, even on the weekends when it's packed. You can actually have a conversation with the person next to you, unlike other hookah spots. Sina and his staff are amazing and attentive, they go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed. If you're coming with a large group, I recommend you make a reservation.

    "Stopped by this place tonight, and I had a fantastic time! Sinna let us play with his unique and expansive backgammon set that was a gift from Saudi royal families!!! Service was amazing, with absolutely fantastic music and the best hookah we had in a very longtime with free refills! Highly recommend it to anyone looking to have a great time with family and friends."

    Best Hookah place in all of West LA!

    The vibe and aesthetic were great. The menu was accessed through a QR code, which was convenient…read more We booked the VIP room for a private party and were able to play our own playlist, which made the experience even better. The DJ on the main floor, however, didn't seem to be mixing much and mostly replayed the same songs after about 30 minutes. The service was spectacular. We ordered three bottles, which came with a pitcher of juice and four hookahs. You could choose to add mint flavor to the hookah or leave it out, though it still had a slight hint of mint even without it. Everyone also ordered individual drinks, which were about $25 each, and the wine bottle was $85. Anything we needed was brought to us quickly. We didn't get the private belly dancers, I guess they didn't come to work. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely come back again for a special event.

    HAHAHAHAHAH Waitress…read morethought I was an idiot! We ordered 1 hookah and 2 drinks. The machine showed $180. I am like that is kinda high. I asked her if that included gratuity. She said no, I asked again are you sure she says NO. I couldn't check the machine because before she handed to me she went all the way to the tip scree that said additional tip. I was like this SHADY af. I asked for a receipt and she said printer broken. I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP. So I grabbed the machine back and put my number in to get the receipt texted to me. Low and behold 22% tip and she charged us for water when I asked for tap water. I go back to her and show her the receipt and she is like oh I don't know what that is. I have never seen that before. Pleassseeeeee What a scam artist, she probably has done that to everyone there but everyone there is on a date and no one wants to be embarassed. Well IDGAF. She offered to give cash back and not tell her boss. Honestly he probably knows. Never going back. Ive been here 8 times. EVERYONE CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS!!!

    Really enjoyed my visit here!…read more I came here in a Saturday night with a friend. Parking was relatively easy and we were able to find a spot near the restaurant. When we walked in, we were greeted by the staff and immediately sat at a table near the patio. We were able to meet the manager who was very kind and assisted us on our order for food and drink orders. For food, we ordered the French fries and the bread. The bread came out like a pizza and was really delicious. Loved the ambiance of the restaurant. It was really pretty inside and we loved how chill it felt. It was a great night and I'll definitely be back.

    The food was the biggest disappointment of the entire experience. For the prices they charge, I…read moreexpected fresh, flavorful dishes. Instead, everything tasted average at best. The meat was dry and lacked seasoning, the rice was bland, and several dishes arrived barely warm. Nothing felt freshly prepared. The ingredients seemed low quality, and the presentation could not hide the fact that the food simply lacked flavor. Even basic items that are difficult to get wrong were forgettable. The menu looks impressive, but the actual food does not live up to the description. It feels like you're paying for the location and atmosphere rather than for quality cuisine. There are many Persian and Mediterranean restaurants in Los Angeles that serve far better food for the same price or less. Unfortunately, this was one of the most underwhelming meals I've had in a long time, and I would not return.

I used to go to the Westwood location all the time near my prior office but now I live very close to this one so stop in often and every time it's consistently good. They have a great selection of options on the menu and one of my favorite parts is the crispy kale at the bottom which to me is a total new thing for Mexican food. The meat quality is always really high and service is usually friendly. Parking in this area can be a bit trickier than other locations, but I was able to find a free street spot a block away. Inside is not very large. All the seating is outdoor, but there is a small covered seating area toward the back that also has a fire heater for those cold days. For this visit, we started off with the Truffle Guacamole and thought it was great and a nice start to the meal. It was also very unique in that I am not sure if I've had truffle guacamole anywhere else. For my entrée, I chose the Carne Asada Bowl and absolutely loved it. It's what I usually order here and would suggest to anyone. For dessert, we tried their Red Velvet Churros and loved them. They are extremely sweet and would be a bit too much for one person so I would suggest this to share. Every part of this meal is consistently good and I use it often for lunch. I would suggest anyone.
