I regularly come by purchasing some food here. I enjoyed the quick service and well made dishes. Keep up the good work.

20 mins for 2 Shawerma sandwiches. They tried to load me with a more expensive order and I got away with it. Now I've been waiting for 20 mins for my 2 sandwiches. And they're not that impressive! And there're rude.

Amazing, home cooked style meal. The grilled kabobs are juicy and fresh off the grill. And the babaganush and hummus dips are mazing! Everytime I go, those two are always ordered. And I end it with a Ceylon mint tea and backlava. This place is a gem on Artesia Blvd. And they stay open while many places close early on Sundays.

Clean, very friendly customer Service, a BIG menu for such a small place, Halal​ posted everywhere, plates, sandwiches ( really Wraps using the fluffy naan bread), lots of beverage options too!! We found this place on Google maps while travelling through the town, glad we stopped, was after 9 pm and had quite a few people there. In a small strip mall . Very pleased, and will definitely try it again when coming through town on 405 fwy. --Easy on and off just few blocks. If you do Halal you gotta try this, if you don't, you oughtta! Not overly salted as we seem to always experience with similar menus. We had the Beef Sharma Wrap, just the right size for a light dinner, but you could order a combo or plate. **Don't miss this place!!

Everything I've had here is delicious. I usually get a gyro or shawarma with lots of garlic sauce, but you should also know that the lamb chops are truly exceptional--tender, juicy, and flavorful.

Not that good. Doesn't have Mediterranean taste at all. Ordered several dishes including kabobs - very plain taste.

I ordered food from DoorDash only to find out the food is disgusting. The chicken shawarma we ordered was just leftover chicken with pieces of rice stuck to it. It was cold and gross. The beef shawarma. It’s sad that the first time I try delivery it turns out like this. What a waste of time and money

We used to come here frequently before we moved, and the food is still just as delicious. Family run, the food is alway made fresh and with love. Highly recommend.

This place was not as good to me as I wanted it to be. The hummus was warm, salad portion was very small, and the chicken shawarma was half fat and rubbery chewy or not cooked right, the only good thing was the rice, and a RIP OFF overall! 15$ for a regular plate and the rest are more pricier. Definitely not worth coming here

I used to eat at Al Hamra in Annandale VA all the time! After moving out to California I was sad to be leaving my favorite halal restaurant behind. I recently went back home to Virginia and was saddened to see that the Annandale location had closed! I went on the website and it turns out that there is ONE more location and it’s HERE in Redondo! What are the chances?! Amazing!!!! So happy! Love the food and the owners are great! The hummus is to die for! And the white garlic sauce is so delicious!!!!!! Love it you should try it!!!

The quality and combinations of Mediterranean food are diverse and it all tastes great. Very cordial and friendly staff. The best part is everything is halal. Very easy, pleasant and comfortable diner atmosphere. Highly recommended.

I wish they would serve their to-go boxes/cups with better materials. My soup was so hot it started to shrink the container (plastic).

Ordered shawarma and was the worst I’ve ever tasted. Even worse, the food appeared to be collection of leftover. When called to complain, the owner offered 10% off on future orders! When said I will not order again he hanged up! Very pathetic food and service. All in all, when offering mideast and Indian food at the same place, you probably screw up with both!

I hated the service and the hazard! I hurt my elbow in this seat. Only reason I eat here is the food is half decent.

Amazing food. Been going here whenever I can for about 12 years. You're missing out *a lot* if you don't go here. I love their hummus and usually take a big one now that I live in another city. Everything is on point.

Awesome food and great service! I have eaten lamb chops once before and never again until I had Al Hamra’s lamb chops-the best ever!!! Only problem is you will tend to over eat once you come to eat here.

What an experience! We usually go to chicken Dijon but my daughter was curious to see what was on the menu next door and boy are we glad we did. The owner created an amazing experience as soon as we walked in the door. He was kind and welcoming! Watching him interact with “regulars” was entertaining as well. He gave us free drinks and came over to get to know us. The food was great as well. Good quality and very affordable. We found a keeper! Please try it just once. You won’t regret it!!!!

I have been going to this place for years now. The food is delicious and some of the best Mediterranean food you can get in the area. Everything tastes fresh and tasty. The prices aren't the cheapest, but you also always get plenty of food for each serving, so it is definitely worth it. Notably, the seating is pretty limited, but I've never gone during busy hours, so I can't speak on availability. The parking lot is small though, and it is shared with four other storefronts.

You get 2 skewers on a plate as opposed just one skewer that Chicken Dijon (the neighboring business) will give you for the same price. Complimentary pita bread and delicious hummus when you eat there. Oh and the rice is better than Chicken Dijon too. Everything is fresh and you will leave satisfied. It is a small dining area in there but it has never been an issue for me. Staff is friendly and the food is damn good. Been going there for years. Get the beef or chicken samosas as a side, you will be hooked!

My wife and I just happened to look up halal places in the area and were so lucky to find this place. A small sit down with delicious food at good prices. But the best part is how friendly and welcoming the owner, Fahad, was. Made us feel right at home. Thank you for the great time and we hope everyone stops by this amazing place!

The food taste and presentation was so gratifying. I had the beef kabab combo, the meat was cooked to perfection tender and juicy. My husband had the kefta combo delicious traditional spices. We will definitely be going back. This is the best Lebanese food I have ever tasted in California. We have tried so many but none come close to this place. Love it!!!

Ordered the falafel wrap, chicken schwarma, hummus, and cucumber salad.The Falafel and chicken were cold. All the pieces in the Chicken schwarma sandwich were just plain dry. I told the owner, he recommended the chicken kabob sandwich. That was slightly less dry.Very dissatisfied, more so because they had a sign that read fresh, and the chicken left a bad aftertaste in my mouth. It looked like a bunch of leftoversI don’t know what the bad quality was about, all the other reviews seemed great.
