Truly incredible. One of the best dining experiences I’ve had. The food was so amazing. The service was great. Mary was so awesome and gave us perfect recommendations. The ice cream dessert was maybe my favorite dessert of all time. I will make a point to come to this restaurant any time I am in the area!
KC was our server and she enhanced our first time at the restaurant. The hostess did her job and checked us in. It was my first time at this restaurant and my business lunch turned out amazing because of KC, the delicious food and how beautifully it's served. Loved the restaurant vibe and look. Highly recommend and can't wait to go again!
My husband and I have been all over world and this is still one of the top restaurants we think of when we think of the best food! We also feel so welcomed! Pete provided incredible service and recommendations with the spicy garlic lemon chicken! We will be back when we are in town! Chef Dima is giving us a taste of what food will be like in heaven! This place is SPECIAL!
This place is so cute, and the food was really delicious. Our server was incredibly friendly and helpful when ordering (I forgot his name, but he was tall with curly hair and a nose ring - thank you to him!). We got three appetizers, pita, and two skewers plus a dessert and it was just barely too much food for the two of us. We would definitely come back here!
First time here and everything was so good! We ordered the Fatet Jaj and it was absolutely delicious and comforting. We also tried the Three Ways Mazaa with spicy hummus, mutabel (eggplant), falafel, and pita bread — everything was fresh and full of flavor. The manqoushe flatbread with cheese and za’atar was a standout. The ambience and décor were beautiful, making the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be recommending this place to friends and family and will absolutely come back again with my family. Highly recommend
Excellent food, service and ambiance. Free 2 hour parking at the parking structure nearby. We really enjoyed our dinner with Cameron, who had wonderful recommendations for our lovely meal Food/Drink- 5 stars We split the family mashawi feast between the 4 of us and it was more than enough food. Skewers- we tried all the meats (chicken, kofta, ribeye steak, top sirloin lamb and shrimp). Everything was very flavorful and juicy. It's hard to decide which was my favorite because they were all so good, but the shrimp really stood out because of how sweet and delightful it was. Fattoush salad- pretty good Hummus, mutabbal, batata harra were pretty good, but I would say the roasted beets hummus was my favorite of all the mezzas Osmalieh Ice cream- this dessert was fantastic. I perfect blend of creamy and sweet goodness, without being too creamy or sweet. I would definitely order it again A Date with cake- very good and decadent. It was a good mix with the Osmalieh, but I would say the Osmalieh ice cream was my favorite Service- 5 stars Cameron was our server and he was excellent with guiding us through the menu and his recommendations were excellent Bottom Line Very delicious meal that has me wanting to come back for more.
10 out of 10 recommend! I got the Greek salad with the chicken and my friend got the falafel along with an amazing breakfast plate. I got the mint lemonade freshest I’ve ever had! Good and potent! We Both enjoyed it so much and we ate outside on a beautiful day.
We had a reservation for around 12 people and the service was good! We ordered a bunch of food but my favorite dish was definitely the ribeye and shrimp kabobs. Everything else was pretty standard tasting. Their sea bass didn't taste as fresh as I was expecting. Out of all the desserts, I liked the knafeh the most it was seriously like crack I still think about it. They forgot to take a few things off the check that never arrived/were cancelled but they were nice about fixing it when we asked. I'd just make sure to double check your check. They also didn't allow our boba inside which is pretty standard but keep that in mind as well.
I have been impressed by the food and beverage quality every time I go to Ammatoli on East 3rd Street. It is by far my favorite restaurant in Long Beach, and everyone I have gone with loves it. I recommend making a reservation in advance on OpenTable as they do get quite busy, but ensure your full party can commit as they do charge per person for any last-minute cancellations. For parking, I recommend the structures just up the street. A must-order is the mint lemonade ($6). It is the best balance of flavors, it isn't too sweet, and they use fresh mint. Although it doesn't come with free refills, we usually buy an extra lemonade to-go as well. Our server Cameron G was very thorough with checking back with the kitchen on items regarding food allergies, and he always made sure we had enough hot water and regular water. It's a great place for groups if you make a reservation in advance because they have something everyone will love, and a lot of the dishes are meant for sharing. I love both the lamb kebab mashawi ($28) and the ammatoli chicken shawarma ($26). It doesn't automatically come with rice, but you can add a side of Vermicelli Rice for the table for $80. I hope you enjoy it as much as I always do - I truly love this restaurant!
One of the best meals and service I have had in a while. Pete was our server, and took great care of us. He had excellent food recommendations. We had the spicy hummus and eggplant dip with pita, and it was so good we ordered more to take home! We also had the chicken which was incredible. We had the specialty cheese desert, which was also fun to try. Will definitely be back next time we are in the area!
