As I was leaving the theater that is across the street, I made the impromptu choice to try this spot before heading home. I knew I loved Mediterranean food, and I also built up a good enough appetite after sitting through a two-hour movie with only popcorn to snack on. This place is great. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with several groups chatting it up over dinner and hookah. Funny enough, I was originally planning to do take-out, but after sitting down and waiting for my food, I got comfortable and opted to dine-in instead. The staff were friendly and polite, happy to answer any questions I had regarding the menu. I tried the chicken shawarma wrap, and man, was it flavorful and filling! While the movie theater may have brought me to try this place once, there's no question I'll be back for the food, but also maybe a drink and/or hookah. read more

Delicious, owners were extremely nice and the food was fantastic. The outside eating area was also very nice, would definitely come back. read more

Ordered beef kebab plate. Was very delicious, meat tender. The quality was excellent starting with the rice & hummus! Wow, highly recommend if you like authentic quality food. Definitely be back to try other items. read more

This was my first time ordering Mediterranean food (I know... where have I been???) but wow! I'm super thankful that I chose this place to be my first try. All the food was delicious and the proteins were cooked perfectly. The garlic sauce is deliciousss, wish the fries had a bit more of the sauce but I'll make sure to ask for extra sauce next time which will be soon. A family member swung by to pick up my order and they said the staff was very kind. read more

Overall the food was flavorless, the only thing that was decent or had flavor was the mix grill plate, the hummus had no flavor, tasted really weird, never had hummus that was oily with no seasoning. The beef wrap had no seasoning, the meat wasn't pleasant too much fat, every time you take a bite you get chunks of meat that you had to spit out and couldn't chew. I would only recommend the mixed grill plate. Avoid the hummus. Amazing salad, rice and the meats were really grilled to perfection, so much flavor. The chicken wrap was also mid. For the price please go somewhere else. read more

I just got back from this place, opened up the bag only to find both orders with the wrong sides. I ordered 1 beef kabob with tzatziki and hummus and 1 chicken kabob with tzatziki and hummus. I specifically said hummus and tzatziki for both orders. I never mentioned salad at all. The food was good. This place has the potential to be a 5 star... but certainly not on this trip. The two bags of utensils i received, one was open and had no fork or knife. I hoped they checked these things before handing me a used utensil bag with missing items. The beef was overcooked, leaving a dry and crunchy taste. The worst part of this entire ordeal is that i tipped $5 when ordering. If i knew all this was going to happen, i wouldn't have tipped anything. The biggest disappointment is the wrong sides, of course. The establishment itself was clean and well lit. Maybe next time... read more

Stopped for dinner here after seeing a movie. No idea why this place isn't packed. The food is amazing! We had chicken shawarma, beef kabobs & lamb - everything had a different seasoning that could be tasted. The lamb was especially good. And the rice - piles of fluffy goodness thick with parsley. I literally ate the tatziki sauce by the forkful because it was that good! Wonderful atmosphere. Excellent service! Loved it! read more

Ordered for delivery and dressing was missing on all salads, soda was missing, and a bag of store bought pita bread was given to us! Not even cut or warmed up. Very disappointing. read more

We were looking for a middle eastern places and this place popped up. We got there around 9pm, which is not late for a hookah lounge/ restaurant. The place was empty... with just one table with a few men were smoking hookah and playing games. The place could use a makeover because everything is falling apart. The roof has holes everywhere, chairs are ruin with stain and rusted... leather chairs are ripped. I didn't dare to use the bathroom after what I observed . Here comes the food. I will give their food 3 and half stars because the rice was fluffy and most meat has good balanced flavor but the chicken was dry. We ordered tea pot, they brought us an old ugly , rusted , cracked tea kettle!... not tea pot. We ordered one hookah to share... it tasted burnt right away with only 5 minutes after we smoke. At the end of the night, we noticed that they charged us more than what's on the menu. It's so important that businesses should charge what's on the menu. On the menu, hookah is $21 , we got charged for $23. Mixed meat plate , they charged us $26.99 but on the menu says $23.99. And lastly, Fatayer cheese was listed as $7 but was charged for $9.99. Everything was over charged than what's on the menu. Friendly servers and the owner seems friendly... but too bad for bad business practice. Please be transparent regarding menu prices and what you charge. Sadly, we want to support family businesses but will not be back. read more

We walked in today to place a few orders. Considering they had just opened, the server was friendly and informed us it would take a certain time as to be was going for make fresh rice, we were okay with the time line. Glad we waited, the food came out very tasty! My family really liked it, and it was plenty in the dish. he played music while we waited in the patio for the music, the ambiance was calm. We highly recommend this place! We will definitely come back. read more

The service was great especially for being open at midnight. The food was food but left an after taste in my mouth. The place was nice and big. Not so enthusiastic about the hookah indoors. read more

Food is amazing! Debatably best Mediterranean in the area, once you get past the fact that people smoke inside and even outside, you'd find this place very enjoyable and would always leave satisfied. Get the chicken shawarma wrap and the gyro plate and i'm sure you'd want to come back to try more of their menu! read more

Chill hookah lounge . Good Food options . Open late . And cashier was friendly. Will definitely be back read more

*FOOD QUALITY* Overall: Great food with a super chill atmosphere of hookah and cards to play poker/other games should you be in the mood for it! The service was superb, the price was fair, and I would come back again, it's a quality gem of a gyro spot! Chicken Kabob Entree (4/5) - Delicious, loved the salad, rice, and grilled chicken! The meat was a little on the dry side but balanced out the entire dish with the rest of the plate. The hummus was yummy, swaying more on the sour side, and I enjoyed that this plate was light and not heavy. Gyro (4.5/5) - Great gyro with well-prepared ingredients and a nice, sturdy wrap. They did a good job of portioning out each part of the gyro so that each bite was delicious and evenly paced. *CUSTOMER SERVICE* Super fantastic service! I came a couple hours before closing on a weeknight, where surrounding restaurants were already closed. There were a couple parties but the restaurant was primarily quiet. The server was kind and really attentive to serving appetizers and cleaning our plates, catering to me and my partner by offering extra plates and utensils when he learned we were sharing our food family-style! *AMBIANCE* The restaurant is in tucked in the same plaza as the Edwards Cinema with the entrance facing away from the street and parking lot. It has a dome shape which is reflected in the high ceilings and the inside is quite spacious, with an outside patio space that's also roomy. It was clean and comfortable inside, with a spacious bathroom as well! *PARKING* Free and plentiful parking, either across the street or in the lot to the back of the restaurant/Edwards Cinema! i'm read more

It was late at night and we didn't get to have dinner at normal time and was looking for late night food that wasn't junk food . We saw Jasmine Cafe in West Covina was still open and called in and ordered the Mixed Grill. When I got there they were just getting the meat off the grill nice and hot ! The aroma in the car was making it hard to wait to get home to eat it . It was so good that I had to keep reminding myself to chew good because I wanted the next bite for the flavorful taste. Now this is what amazed me on top of the great food . I've ordered from other Mediterranean places so this is not my first time experiencing the dishes . What stood out to me is #1, it was last minute order before closing and from the phone being picked up with a friendly voice that didn't feel like she was annoyed to get a late order before closing . That is very rare . Sometimes you worry about the quality of food you get when it's closing time . Is it left over ? Or is it going to be cold and stale? Will it be less portion because they don't want to make anything new at closing ? Those are all the things you think about . None of that was the case here . From the nice phone experience, picking up the food, to opening up the container was a great experience for us . Everything was fresh and hot . It was delicious ! No disappointment at all! Thank you for such a delicious meal ! We will definitely order again and spread the word ! read more

Sorry I didn't get photos. I was in a bit of a rush and I had company. Overall, the food was good. Service too. Indoor and outdoor seating. It was a warm night so I ate outside. The food was fresh. Not the best Mediterranean I've had, but definitely good. This is also a hookah bar, so be advised you're going to smell it/taste it in the air if you're eating outside. I'll eat inside next time. Other than that, great food and a great experience. Keep up the good work read more

The food was middle of the road, the main building reeks of smoke, and it took 40 WHOLE MINUTES for my order. The food isnt necessarily bad, but it still needs a lot of improvement. read more

I got the late night craving for some bomb Mediterranean food and boy was I glad I found Jasmine Cafe!! I called in my order for pickup and they had it hot, fresh and ready in the 10-15 min it took me to Drive over. The service was great! The gentleman who helped me was named Ron and he was so kind and generous! Now the food! I got the falafel entree plate. It was 3 falafel on a bed of rice with grape leaves and I thought I'd prefer the falafel (since it's my fave in general) and I DID! It was soooo perfect. Not dry at all, delicious crunch on the outside and soft and warm and yummy on the inside. Lol. But the grape leaves!!!!! SO GOOD. An unexpected surprise. I wonder if I've only had mid grape leaves before today lol Hummus was yummy, rice was cooked perfectly but I'd say didn't have as much flavor punch as I expected after the grape leaves. Still good though! Ambiance was calm and smelled nice like hookah. No loud music (which is great IMO), just conversation and good vibes. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Mina is the man! We ordered the mixed grill and the beef and lamb. It was delicious! The service was on point, Mina was kind and he knew we had to wait a bit so he offered us dessert to try. There are indoor and outdoor seating so great for everyone who prefers either or. 10/10 would recommend for a place to hangout, grab good food, and chill. read more

The quality and quantity of the food was excellent for the price. I ordered beef schwarma with French fries, tabouli and hummus and it was delicious. The food took a few minutes to arrive because it was prepared fresh. The service was friendly and the dining area indoors is open, clean and great music. The patio is roomy and fully in the shade, perfect for outdoor dining. I will definitely go back to try other delicacies. Forgot to mention, I topped off the wonderful meal with baklava and it did not disappoint. Check this place out. Sorry forgot to take pictures because I was enjoying the food too much! read more

The food is always consistently delicious and I am picky since this is my favorite food. The order is always ready on time too.

They did not have garlic sauce or hummus. The got the order completely wrong. I should have checked it. The customer service from the cook was terrible. You can feel his negative aura just being around him. read more

This is family run establishment located in the plaza just outside of the Regal Edwards Cinemas in West Covina. They serve decent Mediterranean food and have hookah available as well. Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. We ordered the Kafta plate, beef kebab plate, chicken kebab plate, beef kebab wrap, fatouch salad, and a side of fries. The plates all came with a protein on a bed of rice, with a side of salad and hummus (but no pita). Presentation was nice and the flavors of everything were nice. The only thing I think they can improve on is the portions. The wrap was pretty flat and didn't have much inside and the plates had pretty small helpings of protein. My family members are pretty small in size and don't eat as much as other people, and my whole family was still kind of hungry after dinner... so if you have a bigger appetite, you will likely have to order more to feel satisfied. read more

Wish I could say good things about the spot but it took us forever to get served. Also all my meats were burnt pretty much and just overall bad experience. Only reason why I gave 3 stars because it's a family owned business and I see they trying hard to work ... also not sure if the "cook" was eating the food he was serving or had a small late to the side but ya thought that was funny lol read more

Service was great, the young lady was attentive to us and willing to answer any questions. Food was out quick given its made fresh. I got the veggie plate that came with falafel, grape leaves, hummus, salad, pita, and some kind of sauce I don't remember. I've ordered this to go and it comes with rice. The falafel was amazing, crispy on the outside but soft and warm on the inside. Stuffed grape leaves were nicely wrapped and did not fall apart like other ones I've had. It makes me sad to see this place empty it's so good! read more

Delicious! Shared the filet mignon beef kebab plate with my friend and we both loved it! The best part was the chef prepared the kebab medium rare just like I requested. I am glad I asked because they usually cook it more than that. The rice, hummus, and tzatziki were also delicious. The price was good too! Will def come back. read more

The food is well prepared with both their beef or chicken platers. The service is really amazing as they are attentive to all their visitors. I am surprised by the attention to detail that Omran gives to his customers by remembering the hookah order that my friend and I have ordered in previous visits. They have had live belly dancers on Saturdays to bring in an authentic experience of the culture and positive atmosphere. They have playing cards for you to borrow to add to the positive experience and evening. They have a good selection of beer on tap and in bottle with other drinks available to consider. I would recommend anyone that is looking for a relaxed evening to visit Jasmine Cafe as it has been a staple of mine to visit weekly. read more
