Almaza — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I am seriously amazed by the positive reviews. It started out I my friend telling me about this place. And because it is my favorite food I decided to take my wife. the first problem I had was their website. All the prices are more than what is on the website. Or on the menu on Google. of course he said it was changed just a couple of days ago. And I asked him if he would honor the prices that are on the website and he laughed.

I'm not going to leave just because I'm spending a few extra bucks each item I want to order, so we decided to stay. He took our order but didn't ask if you wanted anything to drink and after he left I realized that we were not going to get anything. So we stopped the busboy who and asked him for drinks.

Then somebody who was seated before us got their food first which I thought was very strange. Then the food came and some of the shawarma was quite delicious. But we ordered the 3 lamb chops also. And the first one was a good, medium. And I suddenly realize that he never asked how we wanted it cooked. I would have said medium rare or rare but medium was okay. However, The other two were brick charcoals. And I was going to return them, which always makes me nervous at a restaurant, and ask for two done at medium rare or rare. Because they were just Brown and burnt. But my wife started to eat them and seemed to enjoy them so I decided not to send it back because I was nervous about it anyway.

So paid the bill then the next day going shopping for dog food realized I didn't have my credit card. So I needed to call them and find out if they had it. But there phone line didn't work. So I figured it was Verizon. So I had my friend to call from her landline and she also said the phone doesn't work. So now I got no credit card and a company that doesn't have a phone number that works controlling it.

When I got there I asked for my credit card he handed it to me, no apology. All in all it was and experience. :/ Not really that positive. I'll stick with zankou Chicken. Or we have a new bok bok which is right around the...

I do not recommend going to this restaurant hookah bar. I have never felt so much reverse racism in my life. If you are not Muslim or African-American, don't even bother the staff is rude won't even pay attention to you. Some of the patrons are completely intoxicated and they continue to serve them. If you want to get humiliated and feel like you're not welcome. This is your place if not, don't go. I can't believe in this day and age in the middle of Culver City. Their could be establishment that can treat customers that way. I'm going to be contacting the authorities because I've never felt so isolated in a city that I love for diversity shame on you!!! I had to give it one star cause I won't even let me post without it. I would give it -5 stars. As I continue to read reviews, the number one problem is the service there. The people that work there. They should all be fired or at least thought manners, and how to work in customer service here in the United States, it might work in the Middle East, but it doesn't work. Here in the United States. The name of the staff are: Luis, Reda, Michai, Christie...
