    Inside Tender Grill Cafe.

    First time at Tender Grille Cafe as it was highly recommended to us. We ordered the Chicken Shish Kabob Plate and Beef Lule Kabob Plate with Shirazi Salad, Yogurt, Hummus along with pita bread and grilled tomato. It was delicious. The Basmati rice was cooked perfectly. The kabobs were flavorful. Both the beef and chicken were tender and not over cooked. I'm so glad we tried Tender Grill Cafe kabobs because now we have another kabob place we can frequently visit. We will add Tender Grill Cafe to our go to places to eat. Customer service here was excellent and service is fast. Our food was hot and fresh. We can't wait to try other items on their menu.

    My wife and I discovered this place a few years ago since she works nearby, and it has been our go to ever since! The food is always fresh and delicious. The meats are flavorful and cooked to juicy perfection. The portions are generous as well, and we always have leftovers. The owner is super friendly too!

    Best Mediterranean food in San Fernando hands down. Both the chicken and the beef were good but the chicken is the best I've had. Would recommend, can't go wrong with the either. And the staff/owner were real friendly as well.

    I'm sorry but the food was horrible this time around the chicken pieces are getting smaller and smaller it was extremely dry and burnt the meat also samething for the price it's really ridiculous . I can't believe you served us this food very disappointed. If you don't care and served us this Plate for Two supposedly it was all rice. I'm not caring to ignore it . Do better !!

    Found this small kebab spot. It's tiny but nice inside. There's a pothos plant all over the ceiling. Pretty cool! I ordered the lule kabob plate and it comes with 2 sides. I had the hummus and the greek yogurt. Wow the servings are pretty big! The sides alone are a hefty size. The lule was pretty good. Flavor was there but not as tender as other spots I've tried. Service was excellent and you could tell the owner was on top of things. A local spot worth trying out!

    Lulu plate. I ordered extra tomato and jalapeño. Hummus and cucumber salad.

We had my grandmother's funeral reception here and Ali and his staff did an amazing job with a set up and accommodated additional guest beyond our original reservation. On top of that, he gave us such a great deal too. The staff was friendly and very efficient. We are regulars at Ali Baba for their food, of course. So the spread did not disappoint. Our guest raved about the food and even scrambled to take home some of the left overs. My family and I will continue to have events here and we will continue to be a loyal customers. Ali is generous and a kind human being. He is easy to talk to and a great communicator. Thank you for having us during this special day.

She asked if we had any questions regarding the menu. Then asked if we were ready to order. The place was empty when we showed up, but throughout our time there, there were several to go orders. The dining area was well lit, it was empty, but good experience. The reason for the 4-star is that it was a bit warm inside. I feel it should have been a bit cooler knowing that the outside weather was over 100 degrees. The food was delicious. The dining area was very clean. They have tables with chairs as well with small loveseats per say. Classy feel. The parking lot, difficult to see the lines, but plenty of parking spaces available at the time of visiting.

Did not know what to expect because it's located in a building that only has a kitchen facility. I walked in, went to the kitchen door and was greeted by Fred. sweet, caring man that just wants to make delicious food served with a wonderful smile. Since my son was coming over, I ordered two koobedieh combos (beef and chicken ) and a falafel plate. OMG, so good, so much flavor and huge portions. The rice is perfectly seasoned and fluffy, the skewers were juicy and tasty. The falafel, the best I've ever had! So yelp community, I would be so grateful if you support this small family run business. You will not be disappointed. They also cater, score!!

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?" Then the aroma hits and suddenly you're floating like a cartoon character following the smell trail. I got the beef koobideh and WOW! Perfectly seasoned, insanely flavorful, fluffy rice, and the shirazi salad absolutely slapped. All this for $15 in 2026 when gas is $6.30. And the service? So kind. The person I called taking my order was sweet, everyone at pickup was welcoming, and I swear someone's grandma was in the kitchen because the food tasted like a warm hug. I don't usually write reviews unless the food is genuinely special, and I definitely don't gatekeep good food. So if you're craving Persian food, place the order now.

The portions were generous, offering great value for the price. The kabobs, in particular, were a highlight of the meal.
