My wife and I have been there twice in the last eight days. The staff greeted us like old friends on our second visit. The menu is exactly what one would expect at a Middle Eastern restaurant, the portions are generous, the prices are extremely...reasonable, and the service is excellent. I would add a few Armenian wines to the short list, but otherwise I wouldn't change a thing.More
Stopped in at this place on a recommendation while visiting the area, and we were not disappointed. Although not fancy, it was the perfect stop for a quick lunch. You order at the counter, then they deliver your meal to the table. The Beef Kabob...was very tender and flavorful, and although not normally a Hummus eater, their version was extremely tasteful and I would definitely dive in again. Great value, nice menu.More
Literally one of the best meals I have ever had. The beef and lamb was amazing, as was all of the sides we tried. Highly recommend trying this place.
This place is a family favorite! It has amazing kebab platters that never disappoint! One of my favorite restaurants in Pasandena
We came here to celebrate Valentine's Day during the lunch hour because we didn't want to go out for dinner and wait for hours and get bad service at a fancy place. This is not a romantic place but they sure do serve some good...fresh and delicious food at a reasonable price. I'm glad to see that they offer lunch specials at reasonable price and have it quickly brought to your table.More
Stopped by craving some Middle Eastern food. On my own, I stood at the counter under the "order here" sign while the older man there thoroughly ignored me as he added up the registers and fiddled with money. Eventually someone approached me from the side...and took my order. Odd. My beef kabob 'lite lunch' had nicely done and tender beef, rice pilaf, tomato, onions, and a good supply of pita bread. Quite tasty. Next time I will go for hummus, and hope for a bit more attentive service.More
My family stopped in at lunch and loved the food. The lunch menu is very reasonable in price. I had the falafel plate and it was delicious!
This may well be the best Mediterranean restaurant in Pasadena but it mediocre at best. While the lentil soup and kabobs were well cooked the lack of that mid-eastern flavor and spice made me think longingly of my favorite mid-eastern restaurant at home. The kabobs...could really have used a garlic dipping sauce and the pita bread should have been served with some olive oil at least. Portions were generous the flavor was lacking. You have already read about the service so I won't say anything more.More
Went to this place with a coworker to try a place we had never been we both are picky about our middle eastern food and this place made us happy. Flavor and portions for lunch were generous. I had lamb kabobs and she had Lula-lamb/beef...mix. The hummas was perfect, bread was fresh, rice and cabbage salad were excellent. They were accommodating to swap rice for cabbage salad, grilled veggies or other options. We recommend and plan to return. Only slight complaint was the lamb was a little over cooked. Ambiance is nice. Plenty of space and parking in rear. Order at the counter and they serve the food.More
Pasadena is not a great town for Middle Eastern food but it has at least one good place. Their beef kabob is very tasty. You have to go to Westwood to get a meal that tops Sahara's. A very unassuming place.
