        Their food is so tasty! The texture is right on. The chicken is super soft, and flavorful. Those lemon potatoes are the BOMB! they're crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside and covered with that tangy lemon and olive oil dressing. The cilantro adds a nice burst of flavor that compliments the potatoes very well. The food really is amazing. It's probably my favorite food to eat. Even their salads are wonderful. Very crunchy and dressed well. Super good food. My rating lacks a star because the place itself is uncomfortable. It's small and broken into 2 places separated by like a store or something. The service is NOTHING special either. I still recommend it though. Good food is good food.

        One of my favorites! All the appetizers, salads, main dishes, pizzas, etc are extremely delicious! In fact, for first timers...I would recommend the Open Sesame salad, Open Sesame Combo dish, and Open Sesame pizza! The dishes are good size portions that you might want to consider sharing!

        good food...a bit claustrophobic

        Food is good...staff is attentive enough...the atmosphere is a bit loud and claustrophobic. The 2 locations on the same block is weird and inconvenient when you get shuffled back and forth to be seated at an available table.

        This is my favorite restaurant on Second Street. Fresh Mediterranean food served in a comfy restaurant with a nice vibe going on. My personal favorite is their chicken. Their desserts are also good too.

        The name sounds americanized but this is some great authentic food! I recommend any of the noodle dishes.

        This was the original middle eastern restaurant on Second Street. Great food, healthy choices on the menu, amazing paint job in the restuarant. I will be going back many times!

        The best decision I ever made!

        This is the best Lebanese-Middle Eastern food I've had in California since I moved here from Oregon 20 years ago. Its a busy place so some times you have to wait but its worth it. Its small but quaint.
