“ First time here and loved it. I tried their chicken Shish Kabob and everything was delicious. Their hummus and Shiraz salad were great. The rice was cooked to perfection and everything. Was well seasoned. ”

“ Really good food. I just had the combination plate for 2. You can taste all the different meats. Hummus and pita are really tasty. The owner is friendly and polite. ”

“ This place is seriously legit. I don't do a lot of reviews but this hidden gem was worth it. Food does not get any better. Love the authentic feel & owners are great. Will be back next time in town ! ”

“ Hands down best food! The owner is the nicest man. Always interacts with his customers, and food is always on point. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out. ”

“ Phenomenal!! First time at this place and we will definitely been back! We got the combo, came with 3 meats. The chicken was my favorite. It was super tender and flavorful. And the hummus.... Let me tell you about the hummus oh my gosh the BEST hummus I have ever had! They said they make it in house. I would come back just for the hummus! We got some pita to go. Second side was the shirazi salad. Very refreshing and crisp. The staff was very great! When I about died from the spiciness of the Jalapeno, the chef/owner/some one came to the rescue and brought me a little container of the yogurt. The ambiance was great. They have a big happy plant growing on one side of the room. All in all, we loved the place. We will be recommending to friends and will be back! Sad I forgot to take a photo for the review! Next time! ”

“ I loved the welcoming staff and delicious food! It's hard to find quality Mediterranean cuisine in the San Fernando area, but this place was spot-on and affordable. Will definitely make it my go-to for lunchtime! ”

“ Was in the area and decided to check out Tender Grill Cafe for a late lunch. My friend and I opted for the "Combination for Two" Plate ($26). The portions were not only extremely delicious, but very generous in portion size. The combination for two plate comes with three skewers (we opted for the chicken and the ground beef koobideh, Basmati Rice, Grilled Tomato, Pita Bread and two sides, which in our case was Hummus and Shirazi Salad. The setup is welcoming and homey, with a very friendly family staff ready to serve up some amazing Persian delights. Mostly a grab and go restaurant, there are a few seats inside with the serving for those that choose to dine inside set up casually with plastic utensils, paper plates, and to-go containers. As I mentioned, the portions were huge. The skewers were tender, seasoned well, and served on a very, very large bed of saffron rice. There were also four grilled tomatoes, which is quite generous and a perfect combination to mix with the rice and proteins. The Hummus was delicious and perfect for pita bread dipping. The Shorazi salad was outstanding. Perfectly diced vegetables with a wonderful minty flavor to balance the pepper seasoning of the beef. Quite a bit of food for my friend and I, with some left over. Definitely a ton of value here, especially with lots of homemade options for two people under $30. Small amount of parking out front of a busy strip mall and no public restrooms. ”

“ Been coming here for a few years now and today I finally write a review. I feel I need to express some gratitude for the excellent quality every time I order from this establishment... I ordered the combination for 2 for dinner today and I just couldn't believe how it is so good every time. It's truly amazing how they always deliver consistency.. Great job! ”

“ 2nd time here and I let 2 years go by. I loved the rice once again it filled my stomach with love. I ordered the chicken plate and my taste buds danced on top of my tongue. The tomato was so juicy and I wish I had two of them. Onions and salad were my sides and both of them are 5/5. Down to the pita: it was tough to eat and very hard. 4.5 stars out of 5 04/15/24 Customer service: beautiful friendly people. The music inside was excellent. Clean atmosphere and highly recommend coming here. ”

“ The food is perfect and hits t.he spot. It was my first time here so I appreciated the suggestions in navigating the menu. There was much quality and attention to detail in the small areas like placing a sheet of foil over my food and placing Pita on top so Pita stays warm and not soggy and messy. One thing to note is that most people who sell similar foods package the food in a 3 compartment Styrofoam box that includes a small scoop of your sides- but not here. My meal was packaged in a 1 compartmet Styrofoam box packed and layered with 2 types of rice and meat + charred jalapeño + tomato. My sides were served separately in a clear container so there was soo much food I almost couldn't finish eating it all. The price/ quality / value here is more closer to something that I would get prepandemic and these places are rare. I'm scheduling my work to be out there again just so I can eat there! ”
