    Gyro platter

    Super nice and helpful guys! The gyro platter was really delicious and filling for less than $15

    New York Style Gyro Plate
    Mickenzee M.

    Food is amazing. The NY style gyro fries are HUGE for the price but absolutely worth it. Burger was very good just more seasoned than we are used to.

    First off, the staff were friendly and nice when taking my order, so I will give this business that! I ordered a small meal and was told it would be ready in 10 minutes. I was in sort of a rush so I was happy it would be finished quickly. Unfortunately it took over 30 minutes to get my food, and the chicken was burned and sort of bland. The garlic sauce and bread are great though. The environment was clean and quiet, with some nice soft music. Wish I could have given this spot a better review!

    Hummus

    I am always looking for another Kebab place. So I journeyed to the Northridge Fashion Mall food court to pay a first time visit to the Kebab Lab. I ordered a carry out of the Lule Kebab Plate. It is a combo dish that comes with two minced beef kebabs, pita, hummus, rice and a cucumber salad. The star of such a dish has to be the Kebab and let me say that it is only a few places that can make a good kebab. This place did a grand job. The kebabs were freshly grilled, juicy and not dry, were cooked right, had the optimum charring and burned taste. If anything, the meat was kind of bland and should have had more seasoning, to boost the flavor. Hummus was nice and silky and the salad was fresh and refreshing. Service was exceptional. Now I have a place that is not too much of a drive, when I am in the mood for a tasty kebab.

    The staff are nice and lovely people! The food is very very very yum yum! My wife and I were very satisfied with the food and pleased with how much spent on a meal for two! Will definitely return for more! My stomach is full and my heart is happy!

    Great attitude, very chill guys cooking and serving. The food is great, and it's reasonably priced. The ambiance is inviting and fun! Lots of pink and checkered black and white- it's surprisingly comfortable feeling. Probably my favorite spot to eat in the mall. It'll bring you to the mall maybe!

    A little bummed about this place! Kebabs are really a hit or miss for me. My mom brought this home for us to enjoy for dinner and it just wasn't for me. The rice was okay. Could've been better. By the time she brought it home, the plates they used were really soggy due to the condensation and it was tough to pick up. Basically had to slide it out of the bag and use a new plate. I got a piece of the chicken and a piece of the "beef" and some rice and hummus to enjoy. I started with the chicken which wasn't so bad but definitely needed a lot of hummus for me to eat it since it can get a little dry. I was sad to see they didn't have the garlic butter that a lot of other Mediterranean places have. The beef was a huge disappointment. Not sure if it's a seasoning or what but it did not taste like beef. It tasted like lamb to me and I absolutely cannot stand the flavor of lamb. I was so bummed! I was really looking forward to it since I prefer beef over chicken in general. Sad to say, I probably won't be eating here again. IG: @ammysalamii

    Order number 10 and 3. Was amazing to our surprise small stop but very authentic Armenian food

    Small stop of authentic Armenian food, was very delicious big portions and tasty, will eat the again

    Maybe I'm a bit spoiled from Raffi's Place but this was just mid Rice and meat had little to no flavor the ambience was old school cafeteria I do appreciate the hard working cooks as there was only 1 guy manning both the grill and the cash register If anything looks like the wraps might be the way to go

    "The chicken is halal, super juicy, and absolutely delicious! Wow amazing

    This meal was so life-changing I had to hop back on yelp to tell everyone. Firstly, the interior is…read morewell-decorated and spacious and the ambiance is excellent and our server said that the menu is part Persian inspired. Most importantly, the food was the greatest ever. My family would have been fine with just the baba ganoush and roasted eggplant-- it was hearty and creamy and garlicky, everything I have ever wanted in a dish. But of course, we ordered the super combo due to our hubris and paid the price (we took a bunch of boxes). They are not kidding when they say the Super Combo feeds 4-5, they must be talking about 4-5 men in their early 20s because it was way too much for us. Assuming you eat all the salad and rice and the bed if bread the meat is served on, I can imagine this feeding more than 5 people. It is truly the most value item on the menu, should you have the personnel to take it on. Highly recommended for anyone who likes mediterranean food! Try the baba ganoush and roasted eggplant!!

The BBQ plate is outstanding--the meat is perfectly seasoned, incredibly juicy, and packed with flavor in every bite. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their food. Their wraps are just as impressive. They're loaded with ingredients, bursting with flavor, and the portions are huge. One wrap is more than enough to leave you full and satisfied. Consistently great food, generous portions, and excellent quality keep me coming back week after week. Lemon Zest has easily become one of my favorite lunch spots. Highly recommended!

My favorites are their kabobs and different modifications (think sour berries) of generous amounts of basmati rice that accompany their entrees. The Mast O' Mooseer (yoghurt with shallots) is another of my must haves. Generally, I always get the koobideh kabob to go, but this time, I was in the mood to sit down and have some chunks of meat. I chose the Shish Kabob, which is advertised as grilled filet mignon pieces. The restaurant prepares it medium well and past experience revealed it to be dry and tough. So I asked for it medium rare, for the first time. The dish that came to my table had marvelous optics. The beef was well charred, had an intoxicating aroma and well distributed coloring amongst the seven generous pieces. But there were a few problems. For one, I could not comfortably cut into the beef without using excess force, and shredding it. I asked for a sharper (steak) knife and was told that was all they had. While the meat was juicy, it was extremely chewy. I even questioned whether it was filet mignon, because it did not look and behave like it. I was told it was. If that was the case, could it have been a bad cut? This substantiates why I am leery about ordering meat pieces. Amongst the other items, the thick creamy yoghurt did not disappoint. Same with the grilled onion and tomato. The saffron rice is always fluffy and abundant. The green salad was crisp and refreshing. Take home message? Looks like I will have to skip the Shish Kabob and stick only with the koobideh, if I am ever in the mood for skewered grilled beef.

    We were attending an event at the bookstore next store so it was a no-brainer to give Pi on Sunset…read morea try. Mediterranean food is pretty consistent (ie the same) for my tastes wherever I get it so I was pleasantly surprised by a few elements of Pi. The pies, for example...I tried the Zaatar pie...honestly it was not much more then a thick, airy, freshly made pita with Zataar and olive oil on it...but it's sometimes the simplest things which delight. The Zaatar pie delighted. I tried the Lebanese red wine (I mean, when in a Lebanese restaurant, why not?) And it stood up to any red I'd had anywhere else. The Tabouleh (one of my Mediterranean standards) was fresh made, filling, and a nice companion to the heavier Zaatar pie. It was awfully nice, and unexpected, to get complimentary baklava at the end of the meal...2 generous sized pieces which were pretty indulgent and eliminated the need to get (and pay for) dessert there or anywhere else. Service was lovely...the manager or owner took care of us and made us feel he was truly grateful that we were there. It's also a hookah spot...so if you're not into that vibe or smoke of any kind, (I'm not really) you'll definitely smell that anywhere you are in the restaurant, even if you're not seated next to those using hookahs. If you've got a hankering for Mediterranean...especially a place that has some unique things not at other Mediterranean spots, definitely give Pi on Sunset a shot.

The fries were even worse, they tasted stale, like they were at least a day or two old, and had that chewy, reheated texture instead of being crispy. Definitely not something anyone would want to eat.

This spot is takeout only, hidden in what basically feels like a restaurant warehouse, and as you walk down to pick up your food you genuinely start wondering, "Where the hell am I?"

So I ordered 3 Gyro meals. Lamb, chicken, and beef with the combo meal fries and drink. For the 3 sandwiches with each of them having a side of small fries and small drink I paid $71.29 for the entire order which is crazy in itself but the real crime was the food here, I am surprised how this place is been running business this whole time.

Take a few bites of the fries, and let me tell you that shit got stuck in my throat from how dry and nasty it was absolutely no SALT on any of the sandwiches and or fries... We all know salt makes everything more delicious and we had none of it. Me and 2 of my guests all had complaints on how unsalted and bland the food was. Also with a gyro usually you need a garlic sauce aka white sauce for my New Yorkers, they tried to charge me $5.90 for a SMALL plastic side of garlic sauce for my $20 sandwich. Save your money head over to Pita Pocket or any other gyro spots cuz this ain't it. It's really not hard to get a gyro down. Trader Joes also has a box of gyro meat you can buy make at home and I did once and it was WAYYYY better then this place lol. This place gets 0 stars for charging customers $20+ for a freaking combo meal that doesn't even include a garlic sauce.
