Best Middle Eastern Restaurants in Montebello

Totally packed on a Friday night, had to lean across the table to hear each other. Our server suggested we order 5 starters and two entrees for the 3 of us which felt like upselling. We got 3 starters and 2 skewers and the 2nd skewer was more than we needed. The menu prices are, like all restaurants in LA since the pandemic, dizzyingly, insanely high. Of the starters, the celery root was exceptional. The two skewers were delicious but, at the end of the day, they are undressed flame-cooked meat. We can make that at home. It seems Saffy's will be fine without us.

Excellent Service and great food with ambiance. We’re looking forward to returning to try more of the menu

Overall amazing meal. Service was top notch. Food was inspiring and different. The sauces were fantastic. Best meal I’ve had in a long time and we’ve had some good meals. A little loud in the restaurant so it was nice to sit outside.

Carousel always comes through with absolutely excellent food and outstanding service. It is my go-to choice for Lebanese Armenian food in Glendale.

Second time going to Laya, and it was exceptional (as was the first time!). Excellent upscale Lebanese food, with ambiance to match. Bravo Charbel and team! Can't wait to go back.
