HIDDEN GEM ALERT!!!…read more I've been eating fast food for nearly a week and I was craving REAL food. I found this place on Google Maps and then checked the Yelp. Instantly the photos got me SO HUNGRY. I used to really love wraps but I didn't know any good spots near me until this place. the co-owner, Greg, made me the chicken Mediterranean wrap and OMG. That chicken is juicyyy, the chipotle garlic aioli is delicious, everything about it was awesome. It's also HUGE. 10/10 will definitely come back. Also, this is a small business--the owner is literally the one cooking. Show them some love!! Great places deserve to be celebrated.

Wow! The food here is so good! I got a Mediterranean chicken wrap and the chicken was juicy, the…read moresauce was very flavorful, the veggies were fresh... I even liked the tomato inside and I don't really like tomatoes lol. And the lavash bread on the outside was perfectly crispy and tasted so fresh as well. This is a quaint little spot, best for solo diners or very small groups. The man cooking and taking orders was very nice too. Definitely recommend!

A huge fan of Ara's Shawarma, having visited over a dozen times. The food is consistently…read moreincredible, and my wife, who has lived in the Middle East, swears this is the best shawarma around. Every meal is absolutely delicious and leaves me completely satisfied. Highly recommended for anyone in the Valley or the surrounding area--you have to try it at least once, and you'll probably get addicted to the delectable flavors.

Food: I got a chicken shawarma and the chicken had great flavor except it was a bit cold when I received it. It's worth it for the chicken alone but to my taste id prefer a pita bread the saj bread was also cold and kinda made the taste a bit bland. Id still like to Try the other things they have but over all nothing to be crazy about and also not a bad spot at all so 4 stars is good

This is my second time dining w/ Ggiata, 1st time at this location. There's limited indoor and…read morelimited outdoor seating but we came by on a weekday for lunch and were lucky enough to snag an indoor spot. You order inside at the counter and it seemed like most people come here for takeout, there is back patio available outdoor seating. We waited in the back though for about 25 mins for our sandwich and salad which when I went inside to inquire about, even the cashier thought was odd so maybe this was just a weird fluke? The Eggplant Parm 5/5 OMG latest obsession !! Beautifully toasted bread plus well fried but not overdone spicy eggplant, melts in your mouth

After waiting 20 minutes it was clear something was wrong, cuz it wasn't overly busy. Apparently…read morethey lost my walk-in order. So they rushed to make it and boy did it suck, got the chicken Caesar wrap and the majority of the wrap was croutons, in fact the croutons were larger than any single piece of chicken inside and outnumbered them 2:1, it seemed like a joke. Honestly I should have taken my tip right back out of their jar, don't know why they ask for a tip if they don't offer any additional service besides handing a bag over. I think worst of all, the young lady at the cash register offered NOTHING to make it right.

I had the pleasure of trying out this food truck today when I was at the Northridge Farmer Market…read more They were parked toward the back but I been craving some Kebabs so today was the perfect time to get some. I looked at their menu first and knew I was going to go with the Beef Shish Kebab plate. I didn't have to order at the truck, one of the lady working walked out of the truck to take my other. I asked if I could sub out the hummus and they allowed me to get extra shirazi salad which is my favorite. They said it would take about ten minutes to make. The key to eating kebab is that you have to eat it when it comes out from the grill and hot. If you eat it after it gets cold then it won't taste great. My food took about the exact time they said it would and I took it home to eat since I live close. The food is on the pricer end compared to other things but I'll say it's worth it. The thought the Shish Kebab was kind of overcooked or it could be that when it sat in the box while I was driving home, it cooked some more. Beside that I thought my plate was delicious. The pita bread was soft, the shirazi salad was amazing and they give you a decent amount of rice with kebab. They also give you a little mint as well after you finish your food. I would come back to this truck again and maybe try another dish when I have a chance.

The flat bread was soft to the bite and the shwarma drenched in the savory tahini sauce along with fresh chopped lettuce and tomato rolled up like a taco made this wrap quite the filling lunch. Quality ingredients with great service.

The hummus was incredibly smooth, rich, and perfectly seasoned. They even serve it with the same style of warm, fluffy bread, which made it that much better. I can't speak to the rest of the menu, but if you're craving hummus, this definitely hits the spot. Amazing.

What a great find! Went to this place today because of a reference from a food vloggers Vic and…read moreJeff! This place is DELICIOUS! I had the half chicken shawarma hubby had a full wagyu beef shawarma. Each sandwich was filled to the brim of the pita with the protein, tomatoes, onions, parsley, tahini and amba sauce. The chicken meat was so moist and tender and hubby's wagyu beef was just as good. We also ordered the fried cauliflower and arayes. I love the fact that they have extra tahini and amba sauce out for you to put extra on your "sandwich" or meal. Can I tell you that my chicken pita was the star of the show that my husband had to eat my other half. The next best thing was their coffee! Anyone that knows me, knows I'm not a coffee drinker. I asked my husband to get me a small cup of the coffee and asked him to bring sugar too. I adventure out sometimes, but I had to try it....it was free...There wasn't any sugar, so he brought it to the table and I decided to give it a try. WOW! It was delicious! It was addictive! I had 5 of their small cups! Next time I might have to bring a coffee mug! Can I just say that when my husband and I agree on the food, then it must be DELICIOUS! The special treat was sitting next to us...it was Avi himself, a good friend of his and his friend's father. We enjoyed talking to them and Avi and his friends were very kind. We will be back!

I am very impressed by Mendocino Farms to have listened to customer feedback and brought this favorite back - many thanks. Get it during this limited time while you can. Also a nice surprise, was the Avocado & Quinoa Superfood Ensalada Wrap. It was a huge portion and bursting with fresh flavors. Really delicious. I'd say this is another top favorite from their menu now. As for the location, great spot with nice ambiance, well lit with huge windows, a nice shaded patio with large community tables and best of all - FREE PARKING LOT just behind.

They serve omelettes, sandwiches, salads, chicken wings, pastas, grilled salmon and PERFECT individual pizzas (that are still large enough to share). Even though you order at the register and the wait staff delivers to your table, the service is outstanding (even to your doggies!). Everyone who works there is friendly and helpful and attentive. The garden atmosphere is lovely. You dine under a trellis of fairy lights and bougainvillea. And on certain evenings and lunch times, they have wonderful musicians provide soft background music. They also have an interior space which is nice as well (and air conditioned), but the real charm is the garden, where my maltipoo, Bella, is always spoiled (she especially loves the fries). Parking can be challenging, so, I recommend going just before or just after the breakfast, lunch or dinner rush. I live in the neighborhood, but I have friends who drive from DTLA, Hollywood , West L.A. and even farther away to meet me there just for coffee (try the Vanilla Latte - yum), a lavender lemonade or a glass of wine and a plate of chicken wings (cooled in different styles). The owners and their family work there, too, and always make me, my dog and my friends feel so welcomed and special. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

They seemed flustered and I don't blame them because they seem understaffed. The food portion was smaller than what I normally receive when ordering this exact dish from other Goop locations. The salmon was tough and undercooked with red on the inside, I just tore that section off. Sad, because it's near me and sometimes I want healthy options, I haven't had issues with the other locations, but I really cant justify giving money to this company after that experience.
