Service is great, the gentleman that took care of us looks to be the owner and cook at the same time. Great family owned business. I will definitely be back. Food was delicious and service spectacular! Prices are reasonable.

The food was fresh and delicious. The rice was so good! The owner was really nice. I ordered two chicken breast kabob plates with two sides. Prices were excellent for the quality of food. Definitely a place to try if you love kabobs. I'll definitely return.

I came in with my brother because it had good reviews. It did not disappoint. They were very kind and the food is made to order. It only took 15 minutes for our order to come out. It was very delicious This place is a hidden gem in San Fernando. I recommend this place if you’re craving Mediterranean food. I only wish it was closer to where I live. Or else I’d be going at least twice a week. 10/10

Soooo good! I have had this on my want to try list for a long time. I’m glad I finally went. I ordered the combination plate for two and it didn’t disappoint my super picky husband. So much food! Too much even for two big eaters like us. It’s a cute little place & the parking is tight because it’s in a busy strip mall but absolutely worth it.

The owners are always super friendly & welcoming. If you're craving kabobs, look no further bc I definitely recommend this place.
