Revised down a star 12/9/17: two people took my drink order and nothing after 15 minutes, having to wait in line to remind them. I’d understand if they were busy, but they weren’t at all. Again, disappointing because the food is good, but service is still lacking :///
Original 3 star review: Firstly, the food is very good.
What I have a problem with is that the first time I came it was very early in the day, no customers, and the amount of food that I received was very generous.
The second time I came was around 1 PM, and evidently still in the middle of lunch rush. The amount of chicken that I received was about half of what I received last time for the same meal. Same with the amount of avocado on the salad.
What gives? Do you portion based on demand?

My partner and i really love the food from this restaurant. When i say love yeah we’re huge fans and have been here many times for exactly the same order (chicken kabob and med rare flat iron kabob). Why i gave 1 star? It’s because last time we visited this restaurant we got terrible service by a server named Angel C. From the time he took the order he already showed us his ugly attitude without saying hi and even he asked my partner to hand the menu to him with his finger. The food was delivered and suddenly he was MIA. Our drinks were empty so we need a refill but it was so hard to get his attention since he never came back to check out our table. After a while finally we got him to bring us more drink but surprisingly the way he put our drinks on our table was totally unacceptable. It was like he slammed our drinks intentionally. I’m sorry to say i only tipped him 10% and that’s actually too much for his terrible service. I believe everyone has personal problem or experience bad day but please be professional especially in work environment. If you don’t like your jobjust quit!!!
Previous review:
This restaurant is located in the corner far from dining area. While i was walking around the mall, I saw a crowd of people lining up during lunch time so i thought they must have good food. A few days later, i went to eat here with my partner. We ordered chicken shish kabob and medium rare flat iron kabob, we loved both of them. The meats were tasty and juicy plus the portion was pretty generous with basmati rice and salad. The food was not expensive for the amount we got. A glass of beer was around $5 and peach iced tea was $3. You'll get cash back from Yelp if you sign up your card. Service was friendly and attentive since they kept checking out our table and my iced tea was never empty. Overall, we love this place and definitely will be back soon.
Great service and the food is delicious. The quality is amazing. Love the fact that it's open earlier than the mall. Had a great experience.
The new location is way larger than previous Westwood location.
Delicious salads and healthy kabobs.
Great friendly service.

The chicken sheesh kabob is a great plate. It comes with a skewer of roasted chicken with veggies along with rice and salad.
Delicious Mediterranean food with great choices for appetizers and big portions for entrees. The service can be slow at times but that's because the location is usually busy. With that in mind you might have to wait a little to be seated. Otherwise, the service is great and it would be hard to be disappointed by the food.
Ordered chicken kabob. Chicken was well flavored, grilled veggie was juicy. Overall, food was very good but a little pricy.
Very good panini. I split a club and it was perfectly sized
Unusual offers that other don't. The wait staff has been expertly trained and it shows. The food looks as good as it tastes.
