Close to campus. Family friendly cafe with a Mediterranean flair. A little crowded on the weekends but well worth it if you happen to be driving through Northridge. Food is top notch!
Recommendations: Anything kabob, cesar wrap, salmon benedict

I love this place! Staff is always friendly and the food is just perfect 99% of the time. Try the chicken and brocolli crepes for breakfast or the Lahem Bazeen. For dinner get some fish or pasta. It's all good.
What a surprise!. We came here for lunch on a saturday. it's a very nice neighborhood cafe. the dining room is bright with table cloths and nice classical music playing. the food was a nice surprise! californian & middle eastern. we ordered the crab cakes and beef kabobs. delicious! starters: entrees came with a choice or soup or salad. which we ordered one of each. the salad was generous (almost a meal in itself) and the house dressing is creamy and yummy! the hubby enjoyed his vegetable soup. entrees: the crab cakes had a nice saffron sauce which was an unexpected twist. the beef kabobs were tender and perfectly marinated. both dishes came with mixed vegetables and a nice rice pilaf. the kids ordered pasta which was plentiful. we were truly delighted and will definitely be returning. they also serve breakfast and sandwiches which we can't wait to try!
It was my first time visiting this place. We came in for breakfast, and it was empty. We were greeted and seated right away. The gentleman attending our table was attentive and friendly. The food came out quick, I got their smoked salmon, and it was delicious. Their hummus was also great and fresh. There is plenty of parking available on the lot, overall excellent experience, and great food.
We were looking for a new breakfast place and decided to try Emle’s, since it’s so close to CSUN. Very friendly service and nice atmosphere. We were welcomed as a new guest and given recommendations from the menu. We were served breakfast Mimosas and a complimentary waffle for being first time guests. I ordered a crape with chicken and in was delicious. The menu was very expensive and everything looked so delicious.
I have recently discovered this place, and it is quickly becoming a favorite. I love the Veggie breakfast sandwich ! Service is always friendly and prompt, and portions are very generous. There is inside and outside sitting, and a parking lot. Highly recommend and will be back.
Nice spot. First time customers. Food was good. Nice presentation. Service was good even tho there was only one server. I had the Stuffed Frenchie. Loved it. My wife loved the Hawaiian Pancakes but couldn't even eat half of them. Our 16 yr old daughter has no taste buds so she got the Grilled Cheese off the kids menu.
Nice clean place. Great tasting food. Good we try the egg florentine and egg Benedict.
I live in NC. I am visiting my folks here and I looked up top 10 breakfast places near me and Emle’s was highly rated. We arrived to a packed dining room for breakfast and were surprised by the vast menu. Everything looked delicious. We had a hard time choosing. We decided on the stuffed French toast, Greek omelette and breakfast burrito. Everything was delicious!
We said to each other, “we will be back!” This is a hidden local gem 💎, that you should discover for yourself!
Update: we have been back 2 more times!
Dinner and lunch!
We met Sam at dinner, We introduced ourselves and had a lovely chat with him.
Our food was delicious. We enjoyed Shrimp with risotto, Tiger shrimp pizza, lemon caper chicken and a steak sandwich.
We returned a few days later for lunch and were greeted by Sam who called us all by name! Impressive! Sal was our waiter. He was very friendly as well! We enjoyed the procutto and fig pizza topped with arugula (at my request!), the Greek omelette and eggs Benedict. All outstanding! The banana bread was delicious. We wanted to buy some for the team of nurses at Northridge ACUTE rehab center, but they didn’t have enough to sell us a loaf. Minutes later, Sal came out with a large loaf insisting we take it to the care givers!!!! They enjoyed that so much. We made them aware of Sal and Emle’s kindness in donating that to them.

This was our first visit and it did not disappoint my family and I. We enjoyed the wide selection of food choices and the pleasant, open atmosphere.
If you love breakfast this is the place to be as they serve breakfast all day long. We made reservations a few days prior so it's a nice option they have if you have a bigger group. I went with three of my girlfriends. The meals are all pictured below. They have a very extensive menu with lots of options. Everything looked so good that I did not know what to order. They definitely have an emphasis on Mediterranean cuisine as that is the theme of most of their dishes. The service was just okay, but they are probably overwhelmed with the amount of tables as they have a lot of seating and customers.
Been coming here 20 years. Super friendly, super great food. Unique dishes, a little different twist. Absolutely Wonderful !
Great breakfast spot. The food was good but most of all the service was great!
