I never leave reviews--this is actually my first one--but I felt I had to share my experience…read more I was extremely disappointed with the food at Giuseppe's. The pasta was swimming in a watery tomato sauce that made me just angry and grossed out . It didn't taste like authentic Italian food at all, specially from being from Europe, this was nonsense. I was also confused by the concept. The restaurant presents itself as Italian, yet the menu mixes Italian and Mediterranean cuisines in a way that felt inconsistent rather than complementary. The only positive part of my visit was our server. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and did a wonderful job. Unfortunately, the food was so disappointing that I wouldn't return. If I could give zero stars based on my experience, I would.

The drinks are made fresh, and everything we ordered was delicious. It is a little on the expensive side, with drinks costing around $15, so it's a good idea to come prepared if you plan to order food, drinks, and hookah. Overall, the food, fresh drinks, and enjoyable atmosphere made it well worth the visit.

The place is huge, the food and tea were really good and honestly the hookah service was one of the best I've had. They check on it regularly and really take care of you. The only thing that bothered me was the seating. There were plenty of empty tables but we were told some were reserved and were given a different table. After sitting there for a couple of hours, those "reserved" tables were still empty. It kind of feels like regular customers or people they know get priority. That might be a little frustrating for someone coming for the first time. Other than that, I had a great time and really enjoyed the place.

awesome mediterranean food. makes a perfect food stop after hiking in mt. baldy area. i had just…read morefinished backpacking to ontario peak so this place was conveniently located to make a stop on the way down. i wanted some fresh food with good protein and they surely had that here! we shared two plates, chicken kabob and steak kabob. both were great, but the chicken kabob i liked more. had a deep complex flavor with juicy meat. the steak was perfectly cooked though, amazing flavor too. had the baba ghanoush aka smoked eggplant dip with tahini (sesame) and oh my gawd that was SO good. ordered fresh pita and arranged little "tacos" with all the stuff. ordered the salad which had the perfect amount of a light tangy sweet dressing and a large assortment of veggies such as peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. the rice was so yummy as well and the hummus, good :). service was very friendly. also got a turkish coffee which i did not like, maybe an acquired taste, but the caffeine was great haha. all in all, next time i'm in mt. baldy area imma surely grab a bite here. makes the perfect post hike recovery meal. and the inside is spacious and clean.

I got the Kuftah kabbob lunch special. I ordered it with hummus but got salad instead. The salad was good but I wish I had been able to try the hummus. The kabbob was well seasoned and tasty but a bit rubbery like it had been microwaved. The rice was delicious! Fluffy and well seasoned I sat outside which was very pleasant.

I finally stopped by Mezzaterranean and went straight for the Trio Plate, and it did not…read moredisappoint. If you're looking for the definitive Lebanese experience in the IE, this is the order to beat. The Breakdown: * The Trio Grill: You get a sampling of everything--chicken, beef, and kefta kebabs. The chicken kebab was the standout for me; it was incredibly tender and had that perfect open-flame char that you just can't replicate at home. * Baba Ghanoush: This was a smoky revelation. You can taste the fire-roasted eggplant in every bite, and the texture was perfectly whipped and creamy without losing its soul. It's easily some of the best in the area. * Tabouleh: So many places use too much bulgur, but Mezzaterranean does it right. It was a bright, herbaceous explosion of fresh parsley and lemon that cut through the richness of the grilled meats perfectly. * The Extras: It all comes together with their fluffy rice and warm pita. Pro tip: use the pita to make little "mini-tacos" with a piece of chicken, a dollop of baba ghannouj, and a pinch of tabouleh. The Verdict: The portions on the Trio Plate are massive (definitely enough to share, though you might not want to). Everything tasted fresh, vibrant, and authentic. It's clear this family-run spot puts a lot of heart into their recipes. 10/10, will be back for more of that garlic sauce!

We had such a wonderful lunch there recently. We were…read moregreeted by very friendly staff when we arrived. We each had an ice tea- which was unsweetened and delicious. Our lunch was a falafel pita for myself- very delicious and not dry as falafel can sometimes be. My friend had the lamb luncheon plate and was very happy with his meal. The food tasted very fresh and healthy. We will definitely return!

My friend and I were strolling around Claremont Village for a while, then decided to look for a…read morelunch spot in the area. As we were brainstorming what type of cuisine we wanted, we both agreed upon West Asian/Middle Eastern. So, of course, I hopped on Yelp and was delighted to findCafe X2O! Seeing that it was a Lebanese spot, I knew that the food would be pretty good from the get-go. When we arrived to the restaraunt for late lunch, we were seated promptly, given the menus, and water to drink. We ordered the chicken breast kabob plate, the beef shawarma plate, with sides of grilled vegetables, hummus, baba ghanouj, and toum (garlic sauce). Of the bunch, the baba ghanouj and toum were my FAVORITE! SO FLAVORFUL! As for the grilled vegetables, I'm personally not a fan of whole roasted roma tomatoes and a whole grilled zucchini. The chicken kabob and beef shawarma plates were pretty yummy! However, I did prefer the meat and the rice to be a lot more seasoned & salted. They both tasted a bit too bland for my personal liking, however, the proteins were tender and cooked to perfection! (I do tend to be extremely particular about West Asian/Middle Eastern food, given that I am West Asian/Middle Eastern myself and have high expectations when eating out - hence the preference in extra seasoning! ) I was slightly disappointed that they didn't have ayran (Middle Eastern yogurt drink), as most spots tend have this on their beverage menu. That would've been perfect to sip on the extremely hot day it was! I do plan on coming back here to try out their falafel and shawarma wraps. Highly recommend to folks in the area that are curious to try West Asian/Middle Eastern food and are looking for a solid spot to eat!

I got the beef shish kebab plate with roasted beet salad was also fantastic. The meat was cooked to perfection on a grill outside. Turkish coffee sure was strong and served in a tiny cup which was cute. Got a baklava for dessert which was very sweet but yum. They also have a large display case of candy that were all very unique and tasty. I got a rose one that is so good. I bought a box of assorted flavors home to enjoy. The owner of the restaurant cut small pieces of the candy for us to try so we can decide which one we wanted. The other owner also came by to check on us and ask if the food was good. The restaurant is quite spacious with outdoor covered patio seating as well as indoor. I was able to bring my dog and dine there. They were so nice and even offered a bowl of water for my pup. Overall wonderful place for some solid Turkish food.

There is plenty of parking but it gets very busy in the evenings and weekends because of the variety of food choices. There are plenty of tables but if you're a large group, have a few people sit at your table while the rest of your group goes to order the food. At Baba K, the menu was what you would expect from a Mediterranean restaurant with a good amount of choices. The prices are slightly higher than other restaurants that also serve Mediterranean food, but its expected due to its location. I got the filet mignon meal which consisted of large pieces of filet mignon situated on a bed of rice. It came with a salad (pretty tasty), a piece of pita bread, hummus and I chose tabouleh (a finely chopped parsley appetizer) as my side. The meat was cooked to a nice medium rare and was tender. The rice was good. Actually, my whole meal was good. I will definitely be coming back to Baba K.

My ancestors were confused, my taste buds were reborn. Shoutout to my sister for putting me on, because I had NO idea I was about to experience this level of flavor. This wasn't just food--this felt like someone's grandma was in the back making sure I felt loved and fed properly. The meat? Juicy. The seasoning? Illegal. The whole experience? Life-changing. I came in a horchata girly and left ready to argue about who makes the best shawarma like I've been doing this my whole life. 10/10. I will absolutely be back... probably too often.

Everything was fresh and my meal was pretty good. I didn't really care for the first sauce I chose for my chicken, but the staff was very accommodating and gave me a different sauce that I enjoyed much more. The customer service was great throughout my visit. The restaurant was fairly busy, which is always a good sign, but everything still seemed to run smoothly. They also have a nice selection of drinks, including specialty teas and lemonades, in addition to the regular fountain drinks. Another little thing I appreciated was that they have two restrooms and you don't need to ask for a code to use them. The restroom I used was very clean. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and the service. Would I come back? Yes, definitely!

Downloaded the app and still unable to place an order. Walked in and placed our order but unable to use the coupons that the app had offered.

Overall the food is meh. The chicken had good flavor but their rice is bland. The beef gyro meat is dry and tasteless. I gave it a try but will stick to the numerous Mediterranean places all around this area there are many excellent ones.
