"We stopped at this restaurant along the 118 in the San Fernando Valley to revisit flavors we hadn’t enjoyed since childhood. Our Lebanese neighbors used to share dishes from their homeland, like stuffed grape leaves. Having grown up in an area where hunting was common, we were excited to try something new. We shared platters of quail, chicken shawarma, rice, creamy hummus, and homemade pickles. The owners were very welcoming, and the atmosphere was contemporary and bright; before long, the place was bustling with lunchtime customers. There was easy access to the freeway and plenty of parking on the day we visited. It felt refreshing to break away from our usual burgers and pizza and explore different culinary options."

Welcomed warmly into restaurant. Good and service was great! Plenty tables available when I arrived on a weekday at 5 o’clock though I did have reservations for four people. Delicious And very tender chicken kabob and rice! The pita bread was somewhat dry and hard: The waiters were courteous and professional! Will return there again in the future :

This is a delightful restaurant that showcases a variety of Mediterranean and Eastern European dishes, with a strong emphasis on Armenian cuisine. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly, and the food was excellent—particularly the shawarma and pitas. My wife was thrilled to find a wonderful vegan option, which can be hard to come by at many establishments. We will certainly be back the next time we're in the area. View menu

We ordered lamb chops, which were absolutely delicious; the kids even fought over them! We also tried the beef shawarma, and it was flavorful and well-marinated. For an appetizer, we had hummus, and it was quite good as well. Everything tasted fresh and healthy. To finish off our meal, we enjoyed a honey cream dessert topped with pistachios. Reactions were mixed among our group, but I personally loved it. We feel like we've discovered a hidden gem here. I highly recommend this restaurant!
