AMMATOLI - Long Beach (CA)

4 /5 Sheeva Shahinfar: Really loved the service and atmosphere here, very cozy middle eastern vibe and loved their little market of goods you could buy like olive oil and different spreads. I wasn’t completely wowed by the food to be honest - we got the hummus and fresh pita, Mediterranean fries, and spicy garlic lemon rotisserie chicken. It was good but not the absolute best middle eastern food I’ve had. I definitely want to go back and try more things bc people rave about this place! Was a little disappointed that we had to order the pita bread separately from the hummus, I’d expect that some sort of cracker or pita bread comes with the hummus order. The rice that came with the chicken was my favorite part! Tasted very authentic!

5 /5 Richard Fung: Excellent food, service and ambiance. Free 2 hour parking at the parking structure nearby. We really enjoyed our dinner with Cameron, who had wonderful recommendations for our lovely meal Food/Drink- 5 stars We split the family mashawi feast between the 4 of us and it was more than enough food. Skewers- we tried all the meats (chicken, kofta, ribeye steak, top sirloin lamb and shrimp). Everything was very flavorful and juicy. Its hard to decide which was my favorite because they were all so good, but the shrimp really stood out because of how sweet and delightful it was. Fattoush salad- pretty good Hummus, mutabbal, batata harra were pretty good, but I would say the roasted beets hummus was my favorite of all the mezzas Osmalieh Ice cream- this dessert was fantastic. I perfect blend of creamy and sweet goodness, without being too creamy or sweet. I would definitely order it again A Date with cake- very good and decadent. It was a good mix with the Osmalieh, but I would say the Osmalieh ice cream was my favorite Service- 5 stars Cameron was our server and he was excellent with guiding us through the menu and his recommendations were excellent Bottom Line Very delicious meal that has me wanting to come back for more.

5 /5 A L: This place is so cute, and the food was really delicious. Our server was incredibly friendly and helpful when ordering (I forgot his name, but he was tall with curly hair and a nose ring - thank you to him!). We got three appetizers, pita, and two skewers plus a dessert and it was just barely too much food for the two of us. We would definitely come back here!

5 /5 Deanne Backman: Truly incredible. One of the best dining experiences I’ve had. The food was so amazing. The service was great. Mary was so awesome and gave us perfect recommendations. The ice cream dessert was maybe my favorite dessert of all time. I will make a point to come to this restaurant any time I am in the area!

5 /5 Maria lemos bretal: First time here and everything was so good! We ordered the Fatet Jaj and it was absolutely delicious and comforting. We also tried the Three Ways Mazaa with spicy hummus, mutabel (eggplant), falafel, and pita bread — everything was fresh and full of flavor. The manqoushe flatbread with cheese and za’atar was a standout. The ambience and décor were beautiful, making the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be recommending this place to friends and family and will absolutely come back again with my family. Highly recommend
