Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
Shish Taouk Restaurant is a hidden gem! We stopped by after a workout and, even though they open at 11 AM, the owner and staff kindly let us in early at 10:45. Right away, we could tell how much care goes into their food—everything is made fresh, and you can really taste the quality (cooked with high-quality olive oil!). We got the combo beef/lamb plate and baba ganoush, and for $31, it was plenty for two people. The flavors were incredible, and the owner made the experience even better with his hospitality and stories about the restaurant. Highly recommend this spot—great food, great people, and a welcoming vibe!
What a gem! From the moment my friend and I came in, the service was top notch! The owner greeted us warmly, asked our names, and introduced us to the entire menu, proudly showing all the fresh, delicious food that’s made daily in-house. The restaurant is spotlessly clean and the food is made with love and pride. We will definitely be back to try more of this amazing food!
The food is delicious, fresh, and the portions are reasonable. However, for the price, the plates could be bigger and have more food. The chef was very friendly and helped us choose our dishes. There’s free parking available around the area.
Went for lunch today and had a great experience. I believe the name of the employee who took my order was John. He was very friendly and helped in making my decision on what to get. The head chef/mamager was also fantastic. Top notch customer service and the food was immaculate. There was also plenty of seating in case you come on your lunch break. I absolutely would recommend this place to anyone.
Family owned Mediterranean restaurant, owner who runs the store is very sweet and personable! Some of the best Mediterranean I’ve had in California! Sauces are great & portions are huge for the price! Can’t go wrong!
