Food: they serve kebabs and other Middle Eastern foods. The pita is not too thick and the cucumber salad is pretty good. The meat is a bit different because they serve patties. The beef tasted a bit too dry for me.
Parking: the restaurant has a few parking spaces behind the building, accessible on Van Nuys Blvd.
Tips: they have a few tables and a TV. The entrance has a sliding door.
The food here used to be great. I used to bring all the foster kids and the dogs. I used to meet friends here for a quick lunch or dinner. The food plentiful and delicious. I moved away from the area that always needed a point to come back here as I drove through, but the last times I've been here the food is disgusting. Tonight the order was so disgusting and went directly into the trash. I'm never coming back. It's a real disappointment that a Russia that's been a favorite and holds so many good memories has gone completely downhill.
I did asked if the order was with fries, but got one with rice instead. I don't really eat rice. pickles instead fresh cucumbers for some reason, not sure if it was salad or yogurt. Wasn't impressed with chicken sawarma, it had a lot of cartilage, which delicacy for Mexican kitchen but not really common for European. My husband was happy with his order. If it wasn't for this I would leave 2 stars for food, I'm putting 4 stars for atmosphere just because it's small place with small parking lot. It looked popular, people kept coming while we waited. But for me place closer to my home tasted better or maybe it's just more closer in taste to what I usually had before. Anyway, I don't think we'll be going back there again.
The food was good. I got the falafel Pita. They gave me extra tzatziki on the side. That was nice! If I had to perfect it even more I would remove half of the amount of hummus they add to it. I would also change the recipe of the hummus a bit. Itโs okay but it could be great! The place needs some love. Itโs outdated and it has no charm. It needs to have some paintings and the walls painted just to start. I love the music they play in the restaurant. Itโs music from their culture. Sounds so good and puts you in a mood to eat Mediterranean.
This is a family owned restaurant.
Everything here is excellent.
The prices are great.
I always get the vegetarian grape leaves.
Spinach pies.
Hummus
And don't forget Baklava for your dessert
The owners are so friendly
