Skaf's Grill

On my first visit, I was welcomed by Salim (the owner) with a friendly handshake. I tried the combo kabobs, and the quality of the ingredients stood out immediately. The kabobs were tender and oozing with juice, with just the right amount of char and smokiness to bring out their depth and flavor. The salad was crisp and very watery. The hummus was light, silky, and delicate without too much seasoning. I also liked how the rice was light — not too salty or buttery like some places. My Arnold Palmer was refreshing and not overly sweet. Everything felt intentionally flavored to offer impact without that heavy, overwhelming feeling afterward. After a hearty meal, I felt light and satisfied. Really happy with this spontaneous find, and I’ll definitely be back to complete their entire menu.

Excellent food. I was the only customer in the place not of Middle Eastern descent. For me, thats an excellent sign that the food is very good. I got the combo with chicken, beef, and kafta kabobs. All were very good. Tender meat that tastes fresh. Cooked just right. Chicken and beef were very juicy. Beef was not fatty. The hummus was excellent. Creamy and well balanced flavors. Cabbage salad is excellent as well. A favorite! Falafel were seasoned well but a bit greasy for me taste. Tabouli is a must every time I go. Overall, the blend of flavors in all the food is excellent. Very good balance of flavors in their recipes. I've been here many times through the years and I've never been disappointed. Storefront place with indoor seating only. I always do take-out but the staff is still very attentive. Parking lot is pretty small, so I can see parking being difficult during busy times of day.

The food was scrumptious, the atmosphere familiar and relaxed, and the service just right. I had the Kibbeh Labanieh - I have never tried it or anything quite like it before, and I was not disappointed - the produced-in-house yogurt had a wonderful flavor and texture and the kibbeh balls were quite good - a cross of comfort food and complex spicing. My friend had the kafta kabobs and was kind enough to share with me - we spent some time discussing and trying to determine how they managed to keep the meat so juicy in what is often a fairly dry kabob variety at other restaurants. Just excellent - it was the best instance of kafta I have ever eaten. I think my favorite item was the hummus - it was rich and creamy with a generous amount of sesame tahini and an overall delightful flavor. I plan to go back whenever I have reason to be in that area of LA - everything was excellent.

Don’t ever let a hole in the wall scare you. This was the best Lebanese food you’ll eat.

Johnny Meguerditchian

Authentic Lebanese food. Just like "Tieta" used to make. The flavors are spot on.

The food of the Gods! I've been going to to Scaf's forever and the consistency is spot on. My husband gets the vegetarian platter, I usually get the chicken. We always finish with the coffee and Maamoul. Excellent.

Nice simple place in a corner strip mall, easily overlooked but don't. I had a few appetizers but the whole grill smells and looks delicious. I'll be back for more

What a bang for a buck this place is! I done good coming mid-afternoon because apparently this place gets packed for lunch and dinner. Nothing special about the ambience, the place is located in a strip mall, but they've got some dank food cooking in there. The hummus and pita were delicious. When they mentioned the cabbage side salad, I was unenthused, but delightfully surprised at how flavorful and refreshing it was. If you go here I 100% recommend the Beef Shawarma! It was fantastic, really good meat accompanied by a great sauce. I was underwhelmed by the rice but I guess rice itself can be underwhelming. I got speedy and friendly service, the meal was very reasonably priced, and the food is good. Go here!

I love this place. The cabbage salad and chicken kabobs are always really great.

beautiful food, very welcoming owner. the falafel pita sandwiches were so nice, fresh balled and fried and full of herbs and flavor. delicate creamy tahini sauce. lovely hand-made pickled vegetables. thick-cut real potato french fries. will definitely return!

Guys! The food here is amazing! We ordered the lamb kabob and shish kabob. They asked us how we wanted it cooked, and we replied medium. Meats came out to perfection. Juicy, fresh and tender. The garlic sauce, delicious! We were also very surprised by the service, attentive, checked in with us multiple times without being overwhelming. 10 out of 10.

Definitely one of them best grape leaves I've ever had! The food is fresh and excellent!

I can say "What a surprise" - now one of my new favorite places. Was there with a friend who is a long time friend of one of the owners. He chatted us up, took care of us and we feasted! Great food, service and the humus is amazing. The Cauliflower, fried, spicey, perfect. Everything wonderful.

Extremely high quality products, flavors never changes from time to time. Skaf is very well known for their reputation and quality service.

Amazing food ! Best shwarma in the valley ! Hidden gem.

This place serves the best chicken shawarma I’ve ever had. The chicken is perfectly marinated, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Wrapped in warm pita with just the right sauces authentic, satisfying, and always fresh. Highly recommended!

The BEST place for Lebanese food. The cabbage salad is to die for!
