    We had a phenomenal meal here! I have been here several times and they are always consistent. The service is wonderful, they are so welcoming and hard-working here. I have eaten my way through their menu and each item is better than the next. You can taste the quality of their ingredients as as well as as the care and detention to detail that goes into each dish. Prices are extremely fair considering the level of quality they serve here. Highly recommended if you're looking for a fantastic, delicious meal in the area!

    For brunch, I went to Popular to celebrate my friend Rina's birthday As usual, that place was packed We were at 10 of us at the table I selected a ChatChuka that came with one salad (cucumber, and tomatoes) and a loaf of fena bread Otherwise, we were able to select from a few appetizers that they had ordered for the table Once again, I love that place: Masha took I was delicious and it had a cumin taste! By the way, it is a kosher restaurant Highly recommend you try that place

    Tried out that beautiful and delicious restaurant for the first time last night and Wow! I had been to the restaurant previously in this location and Popular has improved the place so much and it's really aesthetically beautiful! The menu is really interesting and the food we ordered tasted so good!

    My bf and I have been eyeing this place because we're biiiiig fans of Tel Aviv Grill and finally decided to check it out for lunch. When we came there wasn't a wait but I've seen it busy at times. They have seating inside and some outdoor tables too. You order like a typical sit-down restaurant, the waiter comes to take your order, brings you your food, then the check. We ordered the whole denise fish and you get one choice of side with that - we got the israeli salad (cucumbers, tomatoes, onion). They bring out a beautiful rotating platter of dips with freshly warm pita and a side plate of hummus. You can't help but just dig right in. The hummus is to die for, I could have licked the plate clean by the end of it. The pita is deliciously fluffy and fresh. It's fun to try all the little side bowls - everything from baba ganoush to salsas to quinoa salad. After some time, the fish came out! It was lightly fried and tasty, especially with the squeeze of lemon. Really tasty meal overall. My bf got the limonana drink - it's light and not overly sweet, lots of blended mint. Friendly service here too. Would definitely come back!

    Great new kosher restaurant in the valley! This one is dairy and fish but it's the same owners as tlv tapas! I really enjoyed the Greek salad, Bourekas's, and knafe! It's more on the pricey end but great for a special occasion! Beautiful Ambiance. Cesar was an amazing server too!

    The food was absolutely amazing, every dish was so delicious! And our server Jordyn and Bryan was honestly incredible, so sweet, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Such a great vibe and such a memorable dinner. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Valet parking only yet there is ample street meter spots. Walked up and the greeter asked if I had a reservation (which I did not). Was kind enough to seat my party of two within 2 minutes. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Overall the food is good and the ambiance/ atmosphere is more upscale. The pricing seems okay for the items but portions are a bit on the smaller side. The Cesar salad and Salmon Schnitzel were the best things I had ordered.

    Very elegant place The food is amazing The service is excellent You must visit and don't forget to order the cheese cake and green mint tea

I actually had to walk out at one point because my ears felt like they were going to explode. I know they had a sound guy there, but the place is SO small, maybe not the best venue for a punk band. Ha! The barback here was so well dressed and sweet. Bartender was quick and friendly. Cocktails and wine selections are very meh, but I had a whiskey and that worked out for me. Lots of high top tables, a decent amount of seats at the bar, and a pool table. There is also a small patio if you want to hang outside. The Maui Sugar Mill is in a strip mall, so plenty of parking available!

    Spent Super Bowl Sunday at Sugar Mill, and it was the very best decision I've made in a long time…read more This place is most definitely "the little bar that could," with a great staff, fun and funny patrons, and an atmosphere that allows for both staunch fans and casual observers. Most people contribute to a pot luck feast that spans the wide world of food, from hot dogs and chili to baked ziti, tacos, meatballs, fried chicken, Chinese food, and on and on -- including some amazing homemade clam chowder from Mike The Mailman. Bartender Natalie did an amazing job of handling the busy crowd with speed and smiles. There were a couple of other staffers on site to watch the game, and they jumped in when she needed a hand with this or that, but for the most part Natalie captained the bar single-handedly for the duration. Kudos to her. It's true, Super Bowl only comes once a year, so other game days don't have the pot luck feast -- Sugar Mill doesn't have a kitchen, though they're happy to have you bring in whatever food you like and eat it there. Food aside, the crowd and the service are always just what you want, making it the perfect place to relax into at game time as Basketball enters the home stretch and baseball steps up to bat.

What really stood out, though, was the hospitality. I believe the owner was outside greeting guests as they arrived and made a point to thank and acknowledge everyone as they left. That personal touch is rare these days and made us feel genuinely appreciated as customers. Excellent food, beautiful atmosphere, and outstanding hospitality. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great night out in Encino!
