    This place is really good!! I tried the falafel and a combo plate and everything was excellent. The desserts are tasty too. The people are really kind and thoughtful too. Definitely will come back.

    I would give them six stars if I could. The food is authentic, absolutely delicious, made with good fresh materials. The place is nice and cozy and the staff are super nice. The chef lady checks on you to make sure everything is ok and you're enjoying the food. I mean where else you would see the chef kindly checking on you?! It is also a family business and they're doing it good.

    First off amazing. You know what makes a great small restaurant.... The people. The owner is amazing, kind, on top of everything and always wants to make sure you feel like your eating a family members home. So aside from the people let's talk food. Great portions for a great price, you may have to wait a couple minutes but it's well worth the wait. What your get is fresh, flavorful and full filling plate of food. The garlic is perfect not to strong but not to bland ethier, the hummus has you thinking you could eat this all day.

    Was excited to try this place out since I love Mediterranean food. Food was good, but the service was pretty upsetting. Didn’t feel welcomed at all

    Such fantastic food! The high quality of Middle Eastern cooking is so fresh and excellent spicing. My meal was the Chicken Kebab plate!

    Pros: Excellent quality of food savory and tender meat. Delicious. Seemed like very nice people working here. Restroom is super clean and well stocked. Cons: It’s expensive and the amount of food they give was not enough. I could eat two of them if I could afford it. The plate in the pic plus a bottle of soda and one pita bread was over $20. The small eating area inside is cramped with 4 wobbly tables. Considering how the flavor of this beef kebab has haunted me for weeks, its a 5 star hands down. Next time I have an extra $50, I would not mind coming back and doubling my last order. Definitely go and taste for yourself and see what I mean. Its bomb

    Without question this place may be small but it is big on excellent food! Meat is perfectly cooked and seasoned. I love that it is family owned and run. If you enjoy Mediterranean food this place is a must try....multiple times over!

    In eras like this — food like this has become few and far in between. Excellent dine or to go option. Reasonable prices, clearly a community staple. This spot blew my mind.

    Had late lunch yesterday there...Had the combo plate...the meats were superbly grilled, the chicken breast was soo moist, the lula was out of this world as well as the falafel..these guys are so good.. Then had the home made desserts just made you smiled... You come for the middleeastern food, you leave with the feeling of home made food and the warmth of the owners...You walked out the the sweet smile in your heart and to go boxes...

    Great food. Had the Green Cafe combo which is beef, like and chicken on a bed of rice with green pepper and tomato and hummus. Pita bread is great too. Also had Razzel Dazzle. That's a beautiful delightful mixture of apple juice, raspberries, strawberries, mango, honey and Protein powder. Very delicious and an excellent way to finish your meal. Diana is a super cool lady that helped us. Give it a try and stop by.

    Great little cafe. I had the combo plate, and enjoyed everything. The menu is fairly short with a limited number of dishes, but they are very good at quickly making everything on it. I especially liked the roasted vegetable sides.

    First time customer. Visited September 2022. I went here for dinner with my mom and it was empty. Customer service was great, tables weren’t the cleanest but overall place was well organized and cozy. Prices were reasonable and I like that there was some parking spots behind the establishment and on the street (2hours I believe ). Will be coming back.

  • 5/5 Julie X. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was amazing! Just walking around the area and stopped for the food. We got the Green Cafe Combo. Everything was flavorful, tender and delicious! Workers were friendly and nice too! Didn't get pictures of food, was way to excited to dig in.

  • 5/5 Jonas M. 1 year ago on Google
    Found this place randomly while on vacation in Pasadena. These are some of the best falafel I've ever had. The family behind the counter is very cool too!

  • 5/5 S H. 1 year ago on Google
    I think we met the owner and she was effusive in her service. She gave us several ways of placing our order including ordering online. This would allow us to pay individually and we felt it was the most convenient, so this was the method we chose. The food took 15 minutes to come out and it was fresh. Falafel was very crunchy. Steak was juicy. Rice was tasty. We also had the desserts: ashta saraya and halawa jebneh. I have no idea what these should taste like, but I really enjoyed them. They had a good floral aroma and were not too sweet. Creamy and cheesey. I will need to have these desserts again. We hope to return!

  • 5/5 Michael M. 1 year ago on Google
    This is an amazing Cafe with some of the best falafel and kababobs I’ve ever had! The owners are incredibly nice and the food is fantastic! Great spot to stop for a quick lunch or dinner!

    One of my favor places great food

  • 5/5 Jamie 3 years ago on Google
    Been here twice and we’ve been LOVING this place! Small mom and pop restaurant in the corner with outdoor patio. The lady is so kind and friendly and you can tell she makes everything with so much love and passion. Their beef kebap plate is our favorite so far, the beef is so tender and perfectly seasoned and even the rice is so scrumptious!!! I love wrapping the beef, rice, and hummus with pita bread and bites of charred pepper and tomato balance out with the juiciness. The lule kebap plate was also very good, the seasoning is unique and appetizing. The falafel was so fresh and crispy and packed with flavor! Their pricing seems reasonable for all the work that goes into it and for the portion. Well worth it :)

  • 5/5 Taylor S. 1 year ago on Google
    So happy I found this little gem right across from my work. I have been coming here a few times a week because the food is so good and fresh. The owner is sweet and makes each order fresh and it normally takes 10min so don’t be surprised if you need to wait. It will be worth it. Absolutely love their wrap and their Greek salad with chicken. Meat is always so juicy and tender, never dry

  • 5/5 Princess C. 4 years ago on Google
    Love the KABOBS

  • 5/5 Rodrigo C. 1 year ago on Google
    Best Mediterranean spot in town! Diana was super welcoming and funny. Great customer service. 10/10 will come back again.

  • 4/5 Earvin M. 1 year ago on Google
    Green Street Cafe is a great example of not just Mediterranean food but exceptional food in Pasadena as a whole. If you're a fan of Mediterranean, do not skip out on this spot!

  • 5/5 Sarah B. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is wonderful! Great food (all meat options are so good—chicken, beef, and lula), great service, and lovely staff. We’ll be back soon!

  • 5/5 Jessica Y. 7 months ago on Google
    Their Falafel is fantastic!!! We got a side of it with the Chicken Kebab Plate. The Falafel looks like fried donuts and has the perfect crispiness to it and tastes so good with their garlic sauce and hummus!! Their pita bread was so warm and soft and complimented everything well. The rice they use is delicious and flavored and textured so well!! We sat outside but unfortunately fell victim to some mosquitoes. It is a nice setting outside with their lights and you get a little view of the mountain. The small disco light was a little too much though. Service is a little lacking only cause it’s a couple running things. We asked for water (and we had biked here so I was extra thirsty) and after 10min, had to ask again. I also noticed the lady owner talk a lot to the big group that came after us and we never got any acknowledgment (just a “how are things tasting” would have been nice cause I was ready to compliment!).

  • 5/5 Joey S. 7 months ago on Google
    This is a family owned restaurant and it really shows in the best way. The service was fantastic, everyone we interacted with was very kind. The food was delicious and was ready with little wait. Me and my friends had a great time here and I will definitely come back if I am in the area.

  • 5/5 Ivana M. 9 months ago on Google
    The food is fresh and delicious and the dessert. Even more delicious you order your food and you could sit inside or outside. I prefer outside because you get a great view of the mountains and all the hustle and bustle that happens between 5 and 7 PM and green and Oak knoll avenue. This is authentic Lebanese food if you’re into healthy eating this is a place to go. The owners have such a beautiful personality you feel like you’ve known them all your life and that says a lot for a restaurant with delicious I would always come back here.

  • 5/5 Yi X. 8 months ago on Google
    Authentic Mediterranean food! The owner was super welcoming and helpful. The desserts are so good! We had a great time and will definitely come back again.

  • 5/5 Leah N. 7 months ago on Google
    The best falafel I’ve ever had! So fresh and soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. Worth the wait time :)

  • 5/5 Faria S. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent food, great customer service

  • 5/5 Moe M. 3 years ago on Google
    Great food, Diana the owner was very nice. I tried chicken and falafel both were delicious. Chicken was spicy so beware of that if you don't like spicy food. One thing they can improve is to provide packaged silverware instead of dropping them in the bag.

  • 4/5 Melissa C. 3 years ago on Google
    This place was delicious. I stupidly didn't take anything with falafels, but the hummus saucer was delicious and the cinnamon baklava was literally the best baklava I've ever had.

  • 5/5 H M. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent restaurant one of my favorites Mediterranean food this family business I recommend everybody to pay visit the most important thing to me it’s clean and very original tastes excellent foods I recommend it ❤️❤️👍👍

  • 5/5 Hoda R. 3 years ago on Google
    Falafel is so good however I prefer it be less salty.

  • 5/5 Cesar G. 3 years ago on Google
    Small portion compared to most Mediterranean Restaurants but taste great

  • 1/5 Kaushik V. 4 years ago on Google
    Since my colleague wanted to try this place we went out on lunch. I have ordered Grilled Chicken sandwich(cashier's suggestion) and my colleague ordered Falafel. The sandwich I received was around 7-8 inches long. The sandwich wasn't anything special nor was it even a bit tasteful. The flavour was totally bland. The prices on menu do not do justice to the food served. This probably ranks in the bottom of the list of Mediterranean food that I have had. I would definitely not recommend this place.

  • 3/5 Kate E. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice folks running the place. Falafel was the saltiest I’ve ever had :-/ tabbouleh, hummus and rice were pretty good though

  • 4/5 Michael R. 4 years ago on Google
    Family owned, great food and great hospitality. Light on seating space.

  • 5/5 Brian S. 4 years ago on Google
    Super solid, will definitely be back. The Lula Kebab was great, couldn't stop eating the rice, and the grilled pepper was like icing on the cake. Kudos!

  • 5/5 Elpidio A. 4 years ago on Google
    Great food 👍🏾!

  • 5/5 SS 4 years ago on Google
    I’ve been ordering food here almost every other week. The food is AMAZING!!! BF always gets the combo and I get the beef lula. I’m salivating just writing the review. The meat is perfectly seasoned and the rice is so flavorful. The owner is also super friendly. During my first visit, she even gave me a free dessert!

  • 5/5 Arman H. 5 years ago on Google
    Great food, great service! Well worth a visit. Owner operated, small shop experience.

  • 5/5 kraebels3YouTube k. 4 years ago on Google
    Their food is amazing! So fresh! Go to this place!

  • 4/5 Tran F. 4 years ago on Google
    It's a small Mediterranean restaurant with delicious and fairly reasonably-priced (for downtown Pasadena) food. For example, my lule-kabob combo plate was $15 after tax & tip. The meat is cooked to order, and the sides (rice, hummus & pita, and roasted tomato & pepper, on a combo plate) are fresh and tasty. The only negative is that the seating area is cramped and limited, so be prepared for minor annoyance, with that.

  • 5/5 shdy g. 4 years ago on Google
    The sujuk sandwich was one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten

  • 5/5 RK H. 4 years ago on Google
    Tasty, healthy kabobs and sides. Friendly service. Will be back.

  • 4/5 Stephen D. 4 years ago on Google
    A gem.... there's another restaurant arojnd with the same name so don't get confused. Kickass Mediterranean food. Few tables but more of a takeout place really

  • 5/5 Tiffany G. 4 years ago on Google
    Very tasty and made fresh to order. Good portions and friendly people.

  • 5/5 Corey G. 3 years ago on Google
    We ordered kabobs a la cart as a road snack driving home to H.B. from a trip to Huntington Gardens. The owner asked why we didn't want to try her rice. She explained that she had the best rice in town and that we would be fighting over it in the car. She was absolutely right! Not only was the rice the best we'd ever had, but the kabobs were amazing! This will definitely be a regular stop whenever we are in the area! Highly recommended!

    Excellent small family run cafe with delicious, authentic middle eastern food, including desserts. If I lived in this neighborhood, I would make it my go to restaurant for healthy, light, delicious meals.
