    Had a Yemenite roll at the farmers market and it was delicious! My first time trying Yemen food and I can't wait to go back next Tuesday!

The BBQ plate is outstanding--the meat is perfectly seasoned, incredibly juicy, and packed with flavor in every bite. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their food. Their wraps are just as impressive. They're loaded with ingredients, bursting with flavor, and the portions are huge. One wrap is more than enough to leave you full and satisfied. Consistently great food, generous portions, and excellent quality keep me coming back week after week. Lemon Zest has easily become one of my favorite lunch spots. Highly recommended!

    Omg! I cannot believe I have never tried this place. I have always seen it when I drive on Reseda…read morebut never gave it a try. The parking situation is tricky if the lot is full because the lot is super narrow and if the restaurant is full you won't find parking in their lot. Their staff is sweet and helpful. I really enjoyed their food! For the amount you pay, you really get a lot of food which is important to consider in this economy. I ended up getting a combo plate of chicken and beef kabob. It was super good! I also really enjoyed their hummus as an appetizer. Overall will definitely be coming back and would recommend this place!

Came here with my family and some extended family to celebrate a special occasion. Panini Kabob Grill is a Mediterranean and Italian restaurant, they have very good kebabs, Koobideh, pastas, salads, wraps and Panini's and deserts. Their portions are generous and everything tastes excellent, I normally always make get their chicken ABF kebab with a Greek salad and basmati rice, I really enjoy it every time. This location is inside the mall on the bottom floor. They have a cool Concept, they have inside dining and then a canopied outside that is actually in the mall, but feels like a patio. You can have an outdoor dining experience, but be in the air conditioned mall, ha ha. They also actually have a small outdoor patio as well if you prefer to be actually outside. We ate on the indoor/outdoor patio, they have these orange lights, so it gave all the pics this orange hue. The interior is nice, wine along the bar area, medium/dark wood tables and walls. Minimalist, but nice and clean interior with a lot of seating inside and out. Our waiter was very nice, took our orders, brought everything out, kept checking on us and getting us everything we needed. Thank you. Enjoy!

The Northridge outpost is located in the Fashion Mall, on the ground floor, below the food court. It has a nice layout, spacious, with well polished wood tables. Seating is inside as well as a covered area outside, though still in the mall, adjacent to the place, a patio feel, if you will. Interestingly, when I was there, they were playing Latin music. A multicultural experience :). So what do you order when you come here? I came here for a carry out and it had to be their beef koobideh. It came with a choice of salad (Greek in my case), basmati rice, two skewers of kabob, grilled onions, tomato, jalapeno and a small container of tzatziki. For a starter, I selected a bowl of the green lentil soup that came accompanied with two small pieces of grilled artisan bread. This soup was fantastic in both flavor, freshness and taste. Most Mediterranean soups have too much lemon, imparting acidity to the dish. Here, if it was there, it was very slight, hardly noticeable. I consider this pivotal, because now you get to actually taste the depth of the lentils. As for the kabobs, it was a generous portion. They were moist, tasty, optimally spiced and with satisfying texture. The Tzatziki was superb. This eatery touts themselves as a scratch kitchen, for the food that is served daily to their customers. Indeed, I have to say that their food does taste different. I know that this restaurant will climb upwards on my list, for many more repeat visits.

My favorites are their kabobs and different modifications (think sour berries) of generous amounts of basmati rice that accompany their entrees. The Mast O' Mooseer (yoghurt with shallots) is another of my must haves. Generally, I always get the koobideh kabob to go, but this time, I was in the mood to sit down and have some chunks of meat. I chose the Shish Kabob, which is advertised as grilled filet mignon pieces. The restaurant prepares it medium well and past experience revealed it to be dry and tough. So I asked for it medium rare, for the first time. The dish that came to my table had marvelous optics. The beef was well charred, had an intoxicating aroma and well distributed coloring amongst the seven generous pieces. But there were a few problems. For one, I could not comfortably cut into the beef without using excess force, and shredding it. I asked for a sharper (steak) knife and was told that was all they had. While the meat was juicy, it was extremely chewy. I even questioned whether it was filet mignon, because it did not look and behave like it. I was told it was. If that was the case, could it have been a bad cut? This substantiates why I am leery about ordering meat pieces. Amongst the other items, the thick creamy yoghurt did not disappoint. Same with the grilled onion and tomato. The saffron rice is always fluffy and abundant. The green salad was crisp and refreshing. Take home message? Looks like I will have to skip the Shish Kabob and stick only with the koobideh, if I am ever in the mood for skewered grilled beef.

They've always been super accommodating because my coworkers and I make pretty big orders and when I arrive, it's always ready and pack. Which is super helpful when you have to drive during rush hour. Now let's talk about the food. You have to get the beef shawarma wrap. I've had wraps here and there but, never have I had a wrap as good as the one I've had here. As soon as the took my first bite, my head started nodding up and down. As in yes, yes, yes....this is amazing. My other favorite food option is the Lahme. I never had anything like it. It flavorful and just keeps opening up the more you eat it. There is no lack of seasoning in any of food and everything a depth of flavor I've never experienced before. You can feed 1-2 people with either the beef shawarma or chicken shawarma plate. They are not shy with either protein. If I can give you some advice, it would be to eat there. Because if you get it to go, you will be starving and hangry all the way home because everything smells just as good as it taste. All the way to work I can hear my stomach rumbling because of how good everything smells.

I ordered directly through their website. Shortly after, I received a call from a San Diego number to confirm the order. During the call, they asked me to provide my credit card information again, confirm who was picking up the food, and seemed confused because the person picking it up wasn't the credit card holder -- even though they were speaking directly with the card owner at the time. The whole process felt unnecessarily complicated and a bit uncomfortable. When we picked up the food, unfortunately the quality didn't make up for the confusion. The chelo kabob was dry, and no sauces were included at all. The salad had a noticeably sweet flavor that we weren't expecting and didn't really enjoy. To make things more frustrating, I noticed that the prices are higher when ordering over the phone compared to what's listed online. I understand that mistakes happen and restaurants can have busy days, but overall this experience left me disappointed.

    We were attending an event at the bookstore next store so it was a no-brainer to give Pi on Sunset…read morea try. Mediterranean food is pretty consistent (ie the same) for my tastes wherever I get it so I was pleasantly surprised by a few elements of Pi. The pies, for example...I tried the Zaatar pie...honestly it was not much more then a thick, airy, freshly made pita with Zataar and olive oil on it...but it's sometimes the simplest things which delight. The Zaatar pie delighted. I tried the Lebanese red wine (I mean, when in a Lebanese restaurant, why not?) And it stood up to any red I'd had anywhere else. The Tabouleh (one of my Mediterranean standards) was fresh made, filling, and a nice companion to the heavier Zaatar pie. It was awfully nice, and unexpected, to get complimentary baklava at the end of the meal...2 generous sized pieces which were pretty indulgent and eliminated the need to get (and pay for) dessert there or anywhere else. Service was lovely...the manager or owner took care of us and made us feel he was truly grateful that we were there. It's also a hookah spot...so if you're not into that vibe or smoke of any kind, (I'm not really) you'll definitely smell that anywhere you are in the restaurant, even if you're not seated next to those using hookahs. If you've got a hankering for Mediterranean...especially a place that has some unique things not at other Mediterranean spots, definitely give Pi on Sunset a shot.

Unfortunately, it was a complete letdown. The sandwich was extremely unappetizing. The bread was soggy and falling apart, and the filling looked and tasted like it had been sitting out way too long. It didn't feel fresh at all, and several of us couldn't even finish it. The fries were even worse, they tasted stale, like they were at least a day or two old, and had that chewy, reheated texture instead of being crispy. Definitely not something anyone would want to eat.
