Haifa Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Giovanni is a great guy, very good service! The vegetable soup was great on a cold day and my friend got the Yemeni soup which transports you to Yemen. Come check it out for authentic middle eastern food!
This was some of the best Israeli food I’ve had in a long time! The combination salad was a standout—baba ghanoush, tahini, and hummus were all rich, fresh, and full of flavor. The chicken kebab was perfectly seasoned and tender, but the real star for me was the cabbage salad—bright, crisp, and absolutely delicious. Everything tasted authentic and thoughtfully prepared. A spot I’d happily return to.
The schnitzel is absolutely amazing and is the best thing I’ve ever had. The service is also amazing and everybody was so kind and helpful. 10/10 would highly recommend!
Easy 10 stars if it was possible. Best mediterranean food I’ve had in a very long time and honestly I think it’s pretty dang close to food from Lebanon if not better. This shawarma was bursting with flavor! I will be back!!
Haifa seems to be a hidden gem in the Pico Kosher restaurant scene. This place was formerly not glatt, but now is and has switched to Kosher LA supervisuon. The shawarma is tasty, tender and quite good. I look forward to trying other items on their menu in the future as their menu seems much more full than the other restaurants offering shawarma. Definitely better than Shalom Grill. I don't recall seeing laffa as an option.
Love this place. I have been eating there for something like over 30 ..The food is still wonderful!! A must go to!
Great service amazing food.. the people that work there are amazing. From the food that so delicious. the way they treat you it is overwhelming definitely recommend number one in terms of everything!
