Mediterranean Bakery & Cuisine — Restaurant in California

UPDATE : the owner has replied to my review and although I appreciate their effort in resolving any issues I am dismayed to see that the response is not true. I was not given an option to have a complimentary meal. I only spoke to the worker preparing the food and at the very beginning when I spoke briefly with the store clerk from the other business (adjoined entrance) to see if the restaurant was open. I am going to assume the best and think that the response from the owner is because he/she is confusing me with another customer that was also dissatisfied. However, that would mean that besides me there was someone else dissatisfied with their business.

After reading the reviews from other customers I decided to make the drive to this place in hopes of finding a new place to go for a middle eastern craving that is not too busy. I got half of what I asked for, when I visited the location looked like it was closed since no open sign was on and the restaurant looked empty. I walked in and said hello hoping to get greeted by anyone but no one came out so I had to go to the food/grocery market that share the same entrance to ask the clerk if food services were open. He went to the restaurant side and a gentleman came out. Ordering the food was easy since there was a menu and I wanted to try the pomegranate juice but all the drinks were finished and it was barely 5pm with no one in the establishment. I figured I’d wait for my food since I’ve noticed that in some places when the customer service is terrible the food is amazing. Well that isn’t the case here I went to the car immediately after receiving my food and started to eat and my food was cold as if taken out of the fridge. The food could have been put into a microwave at least to salvage it but it was so salty that I had to throw my food away. I would not recommend this...

So it kinda goes like this... So I have this friend that I am kinda sweet on ...( Yes she's a chick) well she was visiting me at my spot and hadn't eaten in a while... Skinny as a rail tiny lil thing right. So I went out in search of food... Mind you I was starving too. And I came across this little joint and this Katt was sitting outside so I got to talking with dude and he blessed me with a pair of sox cause I wasn't wearing any. And he tells me that he could hook me up with a to go tray at this lil Mediterranean joint. So I asked him if I went in and told them my mission would they hook me up? And he said most likely, so I did. And I was met with stand up men who had the understanding enough to listen to my plight and was not even hesitant to be of gracious help. And I was the hero for about a second.

Now here I sit as I said to the other night to these fine gentlemen with money in hand to give proper thanks to these angel's amongst men. The food here is great and the feeling is welcome and peaceful and kind. If you want to experience exotic Mediterranean cuisine here's the place to be.!!!

I'm having the Lamb Tika sandwich on pita. And a...

Shawarma is not good. There was a hair in my food. The samoon is ok. The old cook from a few years ago was the best. Where did he go?

Hello, but that doesn't "set the record straight." Unlikely does not mean impossible, there was a hair (a short, very curly, black hair) in my food, as simple as that, and your chef was not wearing a hair net during my visit, but since you so insist, the next time I am in the shop to pick up some bread, I will take a photo. "If there was a genuine issue it should have been brought up at the register." Obviously, you have not heard of food take out, and I am not about to drive 45 minutes back to your restaurant for some mediocre shawarma that I wouldn't care to replace or ever eat again. Lastly, baseless is nice way to brush off customers that have experienced a drop in food quality since the last owner. If you require evidence, you...
