Cafe X2O — Restaurant in Monrovia

This restaurant was highly recommend to me by my brother recently. So this was our first time ordering here and the food was phenomenal. We ordered takeout because I was not in the mood to cook and we wanted to treat ourselves. We are all vegan and it is normally a headache the first time but I prepared ahead of time, and ordered 3 falafel plates. Each comes with enough food and the price is warranted. It is 5 crispy falafels with tahini, yummy salad, ridiculously delicious pilaf rice, pita bread, and choice of 2 sides.

Let us support local small businesses, especially in these times of the...

I recently visited this Middle Eastern restaurant, and it was an impressive experience on multiple fronts. The service was warm and welcoming, with staff who were attentive and eager to explain the menu. They offered helpful recommendations that made the meal more enjoyable.

The food was genuinely flavorful and authentic, with each dish showcasing the richness of Middle Eastern spices and fresh ingredients. From the creamy hummus to the tender kebabs, every bite was delicious and well-prepared. The balance of spices was perfect, bringing out the traditional taste without overwhelming the palate.

The ambiance was cozy and inviting, with beautiful decor that captured the essence of Middle Eastern culture. The lighting and seating made it comfortable for dining, adding to the overall relaxing experience. It felt like a small getaway to the Middle East.

Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to enjoy authentic Middle Eastern flavors in a welcoming environment. By the way Lola is so beautiful and sweet and kind ! By the way Lola is...

We've been patrons for this location for some time. The main reasons we love the café is for their cleanliness, delicious food and excellent service. Everything from glasses, silverware, tables and plats are always clean which gives a peace of mind that the dishes are prepared with similar care. We've dined in and also ordered out on many occasions. Everyone from the servers to management are great. There's convenient and immediate parking spaces on site and also additional parking on streets. Taha the manager is always improving the facility from parking lot to the interior of the restaurant and on top of everything associated with the operation. Pedro is one of the most professional servers around and it's evident that he sets a good example for the team. Special thanks to Ray, Peter, Rola, Juan, Marielos, Anoush the cook and everyone else on staff for making our experience welcoming. If one is looking for great Mediterranean...
