Best WLM Reviews

Wonderful location to have a meal (lunch or dinner) if you have a tremendous appetite. Portions are generous and healthy, with much to consider for taking home what you don't finish. Hummus or Baba Ghanoush comes with a spectacular serving of bread, freshly made to order. Staff is friendly and helpful, accommodating needs with your meal as you need. The location and it's neighborhood businesses are going through a face-lift, but remains open for all. The newly installed Tesla charger stations also are a very quick walk along the parking strip. Overall, a worthwhile stop for a great meal.
The food is pretty good, and one of the waiters was polite (however, the other, was not). We ordered the #2 combo and there was plenty of food for four people so the value was also good. We went for dinner on a Saturday night without a reservation, and there was no wait time, and there was parking. I do recommend you go give it a try!
The Lamb Shank was to die for! It was soo soo good. I had never had Labneh before and it was great too. Everything was fantastic! They weren’t busy on a Friday night but I’m assuming that was because of the construction going on in the strip mall. I highly recommend this place! (Sorry the photos of the food are partially eaten. We dug right in but when we realized how good it was we knew we needed to leave a review!)
Went here with my family during a trip. Ordered the Dolma appetizer, which tasted like it was literally from a can (think Trader Joe’s or Arabic market), and some kabobs. Meat tasted good and the fresh bread was really delicious, however half our plate was covered in pickled veggies (onions, cabbage, cauliflower). Some small tweaks would make this easily 4 stars. Customer service was fine, no complaints.
Food was Amazingly delicious!! Food presentation was Excellent and Service was great! We loved this place. Been wanting to go for a while and finally did. We were not disappointed at all! What a gem of a place. Wow, food was great and our server was very attentive and checked on us plenty of times to make sure we had everything we needed!! Definitely a Favorite place now on my list of places to go.
Outstanding Mediterranean food! Everything was fresh and delicious . . I Highly recommended this place .. server was nice and helpful
Portions are massive. I never have leftovers, and I’m pretty sure I have enough for a second meal. Definitely not inexpensive, but you get so much good food for the price. Restaurant seemed clean and like a popular place with the locals. The dolmas (stuffed grape leaves) were really good. Maybe a tad bit too much lemon but still really tasty. The beef shawarma was super flavorful and moist. The rice and pickled veggies were really good too. Service was really friendly. Very attentive once we got our food, but before ordering it was very slow.
Plenty of parking. Maybe not the nicest part of town but felt safe enough.
Great food and tons of it. Warm friendly service. We had the "Platter for 2". All was delicious. We had a huge meal for two, and the doggie bag was two more large meals.
