Well, this place has been a SB mainstay for decades. It's very consistent. It's gotten expensive, when I first started coming, the Poulet au Rie salad was like $9..... it was a great deal. Oh inflation. It's still good. It's very reliable, and the woman who works there is is the sweetest. They deserve the neighborhood support! So, I have a new rating system......I will be write what I feel honestly about an establishment. The only ratings I will give are 5 stars, which is enjoyable, or 3 stars which is "needs work." read more

Food: solid 4 Service: I only did take out Ambiance: seemed nice Chicken was just a bit dry but still good. The spicy hummus was off the hook. Arabic salad, really nice acid and crunch. Rice was moist and fluffy. It's a staple for Hermosa. Gotta try it. Bon appetit read more

It would be hard to think of anyone in the South Bay not loving Poulet du Jour. it's such an establishment and rightfully so. My family loved getting a big order of tender chicken, hummus, falafel, pita, and lentil soup. Passing by last weekend sparked all kinds of warm memories. read more

Excellent! Loved the food, loved the friendly owner and all the gents sitting at the bar. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The rice perfectly seasoned and prepared. The hummus was flavorful and velvety. I tried both the regular and spicy, and I could not pick a favorite. The garlic sauce was powerful and paired perfectly with the chicken. And the price made it all even better!! I was so hungry I forgot to take pictures. read more

Best falafels ive ever had. Juicy seasoned chicken. They make their food from scratch and care deeply about their customers. Its an old school diner interior, very clean and yes they have beer, wine and baklava. I highly recommend this place. The vegetarian plate is delicious, light in flavor yet very rich. I cant describe it. p.s you get dinner and a show read more

10/10 definitely recommend! Great atmosphere and delicious fresh food. The owner is hilarious and makes you feel like family. Fresh, delicious, and the perfect stop by the coast. Can't wait to go back read more

Beware! I had the worst food poisoning last night from eating their food. I threw up 7 times throughout the entire night. Update: the owner says it takes 12 hours to get food poisoning. That is incorrect, you can get food poisoning in as little as 30 min, per CDC. I definitely got sick from his restaurant. read more

After many friends recommended this spot -- including Heidi -- and noticing police officers, firefighters, and city workers regularly eating here, I knew I had to try it. Today I was at the Ace Hardware right next door (literally two doors down) and decided on an early lunch. Perfect timing! I ordered the quarter chicken with spicy hummus. It was better than Zankou Chicken, which has always been my mainstay spot. Quick service, clean, and convenient location made it even better. If you're in the area and craving chicken done right, this is the spot. I'll definitely be back -- maybe next time after another Ace Hardware run! Highly recommend. read more

The ambiance of this restaurant was poor, crammed, and claustrophobic. The presentation of the food was sloppy, and the taste was salty and below average. The food was not authentic or tasty. It's another mediocre restaurant that poorly mimics Mediterranean cuisine. The parking is difficult, and the restaurant had no waiters. The owner of the restaurant who plays server is slow, very loud, intrusive, nosy, and annoying under the guise of being friendly, which makes the experience of dining in this terrible restaurant much worse. Never again! read more

Ain't No chicken like Poulet Du Jour!!!! Juiciest Bird in the South Bay !!!! This place doesn't just serve chicken, it serves an experience. Hands down one of the best chicken you'll taste. Juicy, cooked to perfection , perfectly seasoned, and straight up addictive. But what really makes it special is the owner, completely hilarious, full of energy, and totally unforgettable. He treats everyone like family (the loud, fun, slightly crazy kind ) You walk in for the food but leave feeling like you just hung out at your wild uncle's house and you can't wait to go back. read more

would totally recommend this place it's consistently delicious and so much food for the price! the food is seriously amazing and it's so nice to support a family owned business. if you're in the mood for rotisserie chicken in the south bay come here!! read more

Absolutely delicious food and excellent friendly service. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and full of flavor. My favorite dishes were the cauliflower, baba ghanouj and falafels. All perfectly prepared. Highly recommend! read more

Hands down the best rotisserie chicken ever! Been coming here for over 20 years and I have never had a bad meal. The comments about the owner being rude are so hysterical. If you know the owner, you know he has the best authentic don't give a f*ck attitude and if you can't handle it then don't go but don't put down the food because of it. So what if he tells you that you have too many carbs...he might be doing you a favor. Yesterday he told me I didn't need two chicken breasts and asked if I skipped breakfast. I didn't let that hurt my feelings....as a matter of fact I ordered one and still needed a box for my rice and salad. I love his attitude and he cracks me up every time I am there. Of course I was raised in Brooklyn and have a tough skin and appreciate honesty. What a better world it would be if everyone could just tell it like it is! I love the food and the ambiance and wouldn't change a thing! read more

Great, authentic and very reasonably priced Mediterranean cuisine. Restaurant is not fancy (clean but not fancy) but very good.

Great value, friendly people, fresh, healthy, pretty presentation (even being takeout) and delicious!! read more

My favorite Palestinian place to eat at in the South Bay Area. I've come multiple times with different friends/coworkers and always get the same reaction "the foods amazing!" "The chicken is so juicy". Neil and Rafaa run the restaurant so well. They give it a very "local bar" feel, where you take a step back from life stressors and just enjoy being with the neighbors. This is on top of the incredible food they serve so fresh and tasty. Whether it's for catering or for a quick lunch bite... this pleases all tastebuds. The falafel is the best in all of LA. Chicken is hands down always a hit. Their dips of garlic, humus, spicy humus, tahini are so delicious... You come here and feel so taken care of. It's the Arab version of "my big fat Greek wedding". 100000% worth the visit read more

I was looking for a Mediterranean Cuisine lunch -- nothing fancy -- but healthy. I ordered the vegetarian dish (mostly rice with broccoli) and it was delicious. I also got a side of hummus with the garlic sauce -- also yummy! Any complaint? No! It was a lot of food and ended up being my lunch and dinner. Looking forward to going back and trying other things on the menu! read more

"Chicken of the Day" Hidden gem of south bay. Chicken was so juicy and hummus was very tasty and flavorful. The owner of the restaurant was friendly and tried to get to know us. Throughout the dining, I could see that he cares about every single customer and remembers a lot of them by their names. He takes pride in his food which is well deserved. The inside of the restaurant is cute with a nice bar sitting. read more

Arrogant restaurant owner. I'll take my money and appetite elsewhere. Doesn't matter how good your food is, if you speak to your customers the way this man does, his business doesn't deserve any credit. read more

A trip to Redondo Beach is incomplete without a taste of falafel! Family friendly, super quick and fast, yummy and delicious food. Came on a Wednesday midday for lunch with a group of five, and the food was so yummy. Food came out in ~15 minutes after ordering and the family who runs this restaurant are super kind. Great amount of tables for larger groups and small groups of any size. We ordered a falafel plate, 1/2 chicken, green salad, and rice. We used up all the items by making pita sandwiches using all of the ingredients and had 2 each w/ the amount of ingredients. Highly recommend dropping by! One of a kind place in the area and yummy food :) read more

I was told to try this place out. When I arrived the owner greeted us and was friendly and hilarious. Very helpful with helping us with with food options. Very chilled environment, nice tv to watch games. The owner told us their falafels were the best. For a sec I thought yeah right lol. But he wasn't lying at all. When I say you won't be disappointed they were truly amazing. The baked chicken was seasoned well with delicious hummus and good vegetables. Plenty of parking spaces in the back. Prices are friendly with great customer service. I love supporting family owned businesses. If you're ever in the South Bay please stop by and try this place. read more

The good: I chose to come here because my husband and I both love Mediterranean food and we didn't want to go to a fancy place with a toddler and baby. It was nice that this place had affordable food, a casual atmosphere and felt like a local favorite. I had the baklava, half chicken plate with 2 sides for $15 and the falafel plate. The falafel was the best I've ever had. It was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. It tasted fresh. The chicken was moist and the garlic dip was delicious. The salad had a great acidic dressing that didn't shy away from the sour side. The owner is personable and treats you like he's known you forever. The baklava was crispy and wasn't overly drenched in honey or sugar water. The ambience is old school and outdated but in a hole-in-the-wall retro way. There's a bar area with 60s style swivel stools. The bad: There's no outdoor seating. The portion was a little on the small side especially if you devour falafels as fast as I did. Definitely, order more than one entree! The interesting: There's a small parking lot out in the back. There are random movie posters and art inside. read more

Chicken wrap was good but a bit small. It's not very authentic IF that is what you are looking for but it was good and around $11 -- might be back for the plate of chicken since that seems to be popular and a better deal. There's no parking out front and behind I'm not sure... I had to illegally park to pick up my order. read more

I never ever write reviews unless they're positive. So this is an exception because I feel that it warrants it. I was really excited to try this place. I was standing in line waiting to order only to witness the most unprofessional and aggressive owner I've ever seen yelling obscenities on the phone and making the staff and customers visibly uncomfortable and upset. Palpable anger ruined what is probably a delicious meal. They lost a customer before I even became one and it left me with a terrible taste in my mouth. Mr. Nael Diab you should be ashamed of yourself. I also don't appreciate you calling me a 'S.O.A.B.' for expressing calmly that I will not be ordering due to the extremely unpleasant environment and attitude. See you all at Chicken Maison for a delightful dish and wonderful customer service. All the love. read more

Inappropriate comments overshadows Good Food The food here was genuinely good, but the service was completely unacceptable. When we arrived, the server greeted my friend normally, then looked at me and said "you're Hispanic." When I said yes, he told me "we don't have frijoles on the menu" - as if that's something I'd automatically be looking for based on my ethnicity. Later, when bringing our food, he asked my friend if she wanted spicy sauce. She said no. He then turned to me and said "I'm sure you as a Mexican want spicy sauce." I told him I don't like spicy food and I'm not Mexican. When my friend tried to excuse his behavior as being "direct," I had to explain that making ethnic assumptions about customers isn't direct - it's inappropriate and unprofessional. Good food can't make up for service that makes customers feel profiled and unwelcome. Management needs to train staff on basic respect and professionalism. read more

Poulet Du Jour - Not sure why they have a signed photo of Chaka Khan, but that's fine. - Greek Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

I live off of 2nd St and I order Poulet pretty much every week. Love the family run business & everyone is super nice. My usual is the Poulet Au Rie which is a rotisserie chicken salad with iceberg lettuce, rice, and fried pita as croutons. (No cheese, usually comes with shredded mozzarella). The dressing is a lemon olive oil. AMAZING. The meal also comes with a side of pita bread. Don't forget to order some baklava with the meal. Sometimes the chicken is a little dry and sometimes there's not a lot of lemon in the dressing but hey, it happens. Still a 10/10 salad for sure. Worth coming to Hermosa to grab a salad and hitting the beach a couple blocks down. read more

My official go to! If I don't feel like cooking, poulet du jour! If I want to meal prep, poulet du jour! If I want to eat healthy, poulet du jour! Their rotisserie chicken is phenomenal but my favorite is the poulet salad. I literally crave it on a weekly basis. Whether you want to have the food delivered, eat it there, or pick it up the quality never suffers! I have been eating here for over 5 years now and it's a house staple! Also, their service is over the top! Seriously, they are the best! read more

Wow! I've been a resident of the SouthBay for around 10 years, and recently checked out this location. (A few friends have recommended it before). It is truly delicious, I have a feeling its one of those places that no matter what you order it will be a hit. I've ordered the Poulet au Rie Salad and it was so good, the crunchy pita chips add to the extra crunchy bite-- not to mention the Lemon Garlic Dressing, to die for. Just now ordered the 1/4 chicken with spicy hummus side and rice. Can't wait to try that. As a fit girly, this makes for some great healthy, protein-rich filled meals. YUM! read more

We heard about the beautiful home atmosphere and beautiful place with the Amazing staff and tasteful food. And guess what, it was way underrated, it only deserves a whole 5 STARS, for food, staff, experience, service and most of all, the hospitality. It makes me want to fly to LA and go straight to Hermosa Beach for the experience to leave life and all it brings from stress behind and enjoy the moments at this place.

I have been eating at Poulet Du Jour for over 20 years and it is the best by far in the south bay. It is a consistent go to for my family and I. The owners run the business very smoothly and they remember familiar faces. They have a good way of making you feel like family with their witty sense of humor. Highly recommend! read more

Great quality food. A true gem of hermosa beach. Honestly need to try everything on the menu at least once.

Like MANY have mentioned, rude rude RUDE owner and staff. Food was alright, but not good enough to make up for the mean stares by both the owner and the worker he was sitting with. When I walked in the door to pick up my to-go order, I said "Hello I'm picking up an order," and both men just gave me the dirtiest look, scowled, and then turned and ignored me. Plenty of places out there with the same quality of food AND nicer service. And I'm not a service hound, trust me- I don't need smiles and greetings, and I think that amazing food makes up for bad service. But this place had neither. This place had average food and literally the rudest environment I've ever encountered. Don't support. read more
