Well this restaurant is a pleasant surprise. Itching to try a new Mediterranean/Middle Eastern restaurant, we found out that Pi on Sunset is actually rather close to us.
The ambiance is spacious with floor to ceiling glass window and open floor plan, although the disco music was a bit interesting. Different.
But on the food side, Pi delivers! My parents love the chicken kebab, while I like the beef kebab just a bit more. You can't go wrong with eithertl be honest since they are savory and flavorful without being dry. The basmati rice is subtly aromatic and complements the kebabs very well.
The hummus is also well made with good texture, consistency, and taste. Only thing I find a little bit lacking is the garlic sauce. It's a bit tangy and I have had better. Luckily, you don't really need it for these plates. The kebab and rice play center stage just fine.
Update: I'm back again for another meal and an update to my review. To start my meal, I had the Cheese Pi which are just tasty treats to have, with all the yummy cheesy goodness wrapped with toasted dough.
I had the option to order the Olympia Mixed Grill but sized down for 1 person, and if you're like me and you love mixed kebabs, this is a great option. You get kefta (ground beef), Filet Mignon, and chicken kebabs with rice hummus, garlic sauce,a basket of pita bread, and salad for $25. It's quite generous for what you get!
Ranking the kebabs, the Filet Mignon is the clear winner, followed by the kefta, and closely by the chicken. I highly recommend trying this combination so you can see which...
Read moreWent there a couple of times in the last few weeks with my family. Looks smaller outside than it actually is inside. The food was fantastic. The veggies in the salad were fresh. Food came quickly. Portions are decent/large. I did not completely finish my veggie platter either time. The actual restaurant was very empty because they apparently do much of their business through catering. Service was friendly and accommodating. Had to ask for a few things because there aren't too many people working. Big TV with Lebanese music at appropriate volume to be able to converse. Nice decor and nice/clean bathroom. We didn't have any but saw others come in for hukka. Prices decent for sit down restaurant with fresh food. About $25/person including drinks, appetizer and tip. Will definitely...
Read moreI went here midweek to get take out and it was phenomenal! My son got a falafel wrap and really enjoyed it. I got chicken breast dinner plate. The roasted tomato was good, basmati rice was very good, and salad good also. The chicken breast was juicy, flavorful, and the hummus was perfect! Very lightly flavored, so it didn't over power anything else. I give this meal a 9/10... The salad dressing was a bit strong for my taste, and falafel was fresh, but little bit dry, else would have given a 10/10. Wonderful customer service! The one who took my order was very kind, knowledgeable about all of the menu items as well. The place looked nice inside, but i ordered to go, so i didn't eat there. I will most definitely be coming back and try other menu...
