First time trying this place and the recommendation was delicious. I was told everything was made in house. Plates are generous portions. The appearance & vibe of the restaurant was bright & opened. I sat inside, but there’s outside seating.
Seriously the best Mediterranean i have had here in California until now. I always go looking for good hummus and falafel and those were best here. Also ordered the Half rotisserie chicken and it was cooked perfectly!! Definitely going back to this place to try some of their other options from menu. Also try the osmalieh ice cream for some refreshing dessert. The ambience of this place is also amazing. Loved it.
What a great time we had at Ammatoli when we went for dinner. The food is really delicious. All the plates that we ate were above par. We would definitely go back. They are enlarging the restaurant to accommodate more satisfied diners. We highly recommend you to go try this restaurant.
I absolutely love this place! This was a random lunch visit and it def won’t be our last! First off, the servers were very sweet & made some great suggestions! The food was amazing & completely authentic, which I find is rare. The flavors were there from the salad, the rice, the hummus, to the falafels, which the texture of those were perfect! The portions are great, we had some left over for later. The decor in this space is very beautiful & warm. I look forward to trying the brunch & dinner menus!

In short,
I was hesitant at first because the place looked like a modern iteration for Levantine fair and mostly Lebanese, which usually I harshly critique, but I was pleasantly surprised that most flavors were on point
A bit more details,
The mezza was great. From the grape leaves falafels to kibbe and spicy potatoes. Freekeh reminded me of home and up in the villages. All the food was really good. The Arayes were nice and filled with meaty flavors. I loved that they had some of the best Lebanese wine brands as well.
Loved all the flavors. Maybe the one dish I was not into too much and wish I got the Moussaka instead was the Chicken Rolls. Was a bit dry. The Arabic coffee (Not Turkish - Turkish doesn’t have Cardamom in it) needed a bit more boiling but it was good and they serve it in an authentic set.
The music was so nice and authentic. Created a nice vibe and made me feel at home. Service was great.
I heard they are expanding so that’ll be great because this is a great restaurant. I hope they add another bathroom bec one for our group only created a bit of a wait but no big deal.
Stopped by for lunch today with my daughter… I am from Jordan and this place was beautiful, the staff was amazing, and the food was super authentic, reminded me of my mom’s cooking (chills). I highly recommend it. I haven’t stopped talking about it to my friends and family. I can’t wait to visit again. It was great meeting you Dima.
Great food, ambiance, location and service. Sierra waited on us this evening. Her recommendations were excellent and spot on. My wife live in Jordan for a few years and she knew that the kitchen was in the best hands with traditional chefs. We will be back soon!
Delectable & delicious food. Ammatoli Mediterranean Bites was such a exquisite & delightful experience. We sat outside in the relaxing but very hospitable patio. We had red lentil soup with crunchies & this combination was perfectly scrumptious. We also had the spicy tangy hot potato wedges-/ these tangy grilled potatoes were deliciously made with the perfect blend of chili paste .. The spicy hummus & flavorful falafel surrounded by green olives, pickled turnips & sour pickles. Servers were were so personable & very accommodating. Please spread the love & like.
