I really loved the rice and salad that come with the plate- such good rice and not greasy/buttery like some places. And the shawarma- not crazy garlicky but the soft thin pita is the best part!

The owner is a great guy and gave us amazing recommendations. You can tell he is passionate about the food. All of the food is pretty much "home-made" by the owner who was the only employee there. We tried out three plates and all the sides with it too. It was delicious and came with a lot of pita bread. Overall, this is a great restaurant and the owner/chef makes the ambiance fun. Everyone should give it a try!

Every single dish was packed with flavor. The beef and chicken shawarma were delicious, and the luleh and chicken kabobs were so tender and juicy. All of the sides and appetizers hit the spot! The hummus and baba ganoush were great, and they serve the best falafel I've ever had (super crispy on the outside, and not dry at all). I also tried grape leaves for the first time today and I'm actually addicted... On top of the phenomenal food, the owner, Silva, was such a sweetheart and kept checking in on us to make sure we were having a great experience. This is easily one of the best spots around. Highly recommend!

I don't mind paying extra, but if you're promoting it as a part of the dish, it shouldn't be charging me an extra two dollars and sadly today that the chicken was very small. Usually, it's a decent size.. it's unfortunate because something like this will cause me never to come back. I hope they learn from this..

Unfortunately, the whole restaurant was booked out for a private event the only evening we had available. Thankfully, they were still taking takeout orders. They were a bit busy with the private event, and so they had forgotten to give us one of our bags of food (which we didn't realize was missing until we got back to our hotel), but the staff made up for it by delivering the remainder of our food to us! The food was very tasty and the service was top notch. I would love to return if I'm ever back in Santa Barbara.

From the moment you walk through the entrance, the restaurant feels like a hidden sanctuary tucked…read moreaway from the bustle of downtown. The greenery, courtyard setting, and relaxed atmosphere make it an enjoyable place to settle in and enjoy a meal. I ordered the Mashawi Combo, which included lamb, beef, and chicken. All three meats were cooked nicely, with each offering its own distinct flavor and texture. My favorite was the beef because it had a satisfying char. It's a great option if you're having trouble deciding between proteins and want to sample a little bit of everything. What really elevated the meal were the accompanying spreads and sides. The baba ghannouj was smoky and creamy, while the garlic sauce added a rich punch of flavor to the grilled meats. The hummus was smooth, and the tabbouli provided bright, herbaceous contrast that balanced the heavier elements of the meal. One of the highlights for me was the pistachio spread. It was refreshingly different from the usual mezze offerings and paired wonderfully with the warm bread. The addition of pomegranate seeds also brought a burst of sweetness and acidity that made each bit refreshing. The only minor drawback was some confusion regarding my reservation because they couldn't find it even though I called, which created a bit of uncertainty at the start of the evening. Fortunately, the staff handled the situation professionally and remained attentive throughout the meal. Overall, it was a satisfying dining experience with a chill ambiance.

I ordered the beef kabob lunch special that comes with two sides. Very very good quality beef. I was actually very surprised by the rice it wasn't what I expected. But extras were delicious the house salad so fresh. The veggies at the table as a free appetizer "loved them" I can tell lunch gets busy so get there with patience and time. Very intimate ambience and its in a busy shopping center with plenty of parking. Sylvia was lovely, Thank you for my extra ice. I will definitely recommend you all to my friends and family. See you soon, Xo!

Unfortunately, because of this experience, I will not be returning.

The bartender, Dianna, is usually on her phone and inattentive--it's easy to feel completely overlooked. When you do get her attention, she comes across as bothered rather than welcoming.

After standing in the meat market line for about 10 minutes, someone signaled the dishwasher to help us (dishwashing sink is directly behind the meat counter). The dishwasher lady wrapped up her last dish, reached into the drain to clean it out and then proceeded to use the same gloves to reach in and grab our steaks. She did not change the gloves. Sadly, for this reason--tho a very important reason, we will not be purchasing from here again. Poor service and unsafe food handling practices.
