Grilliant

The best chicken wrap ever! The chicken is perfectly grilled and still juicy. The sauce for their wraps are heavenly and I love their spring salad! Great service and definitely the best lunch spot.

Such a much higher quality meat than Zankou. You pay for what you get and what you get is an excellent quality fast service Mediterranean meal.
Ally’s excellent and the rest of the staff is just as friendly.

Woohoo. Ordered food here trough über eats. Kabob was so good. Love the grilled veggies. Fast turn around.

Amazzzzziiinngg! Great salads, wraps etc
Everything is fresh & delicious!!!
Awesome!!!

This place is delicious and healthy. Also their salmon is sustainably caught which I love. Krystal at the front is always so nice and accommodating!
The prices are reasonable too– great place for lunch, glad I can walk from work.

The food and staff are great. We ordered the Mediterranean Salad and Beef Filet Plate with a side of Humus. Everything was delicious and I will happily return, but it didn’t wow enough to endow 5 stars.

Great healthy mediterranean food. Love their chicken breast bbq plate with hummus. Great atmosphere and great vibes all around and friendly staff.

Called in for pickup which was very quick and easy. Had the beef filet kabob plate which was good. Comes with rice, some grilled veggies, their yogurt sauce and salsa. I had hummus as the side which was all delicious, however I did not care for the salsa. I was also told that the meal was so largely portioned that it would last me 2 meals, however I finished the entire thing in one sitting. Otherwise, the staff is friendly and service is quick. I recommend for some pretty good mediterranean!

This place has a super friendly staff and the food is good, but truly in the literal sense, good.
I had the chicken, it was nice. I’m trying to avoid the phrase «nothing to write home about» because it comes off harsh…
The meal was nice, and you would leave here happy, but I have been better fulfilled by other places for an equivalent amount of money.

3.5 stars overall. Been waiting to try this place out. Always looking for good healthy options. It was pretty good. I’d stick to the kabob plates.
FOOD
Chicken Kabob Plate (4 stars): Grilled chicken was cooked well, good flavor. Veggies are good too.
Chicken wrap (3 stars): Needed more meat. Pretty standard.
Fries (3.5 stars)
Tomato salsa sauce (4 stars)
Hummus (3.5 stars)
SERVICE
After the guy brought out our food he said he’d be back with our fries, too bad they came out when we were done with the meal! So we barely at them. No apology at all either.
ATMOSPHERE
Seating inside and outside. Clean.
PARKING
Street parking.

This place has always been my favorite grab and go lunch. There usually isn’t seating room and definitely no parking, but I always love ordering on the Unilocal app and quickly picking up. Being Middle Eastern myself, I have standards of how the food is cooked and seasoned, but Grilliant is spot on as a Middle-​Eastern/​American fusion. I only wish they would add Perrier with Lime rather than the regular Perrier. They always have amazing service, and have great food. Please figure out the parking situation! :(

Not sure what the hype is about, came here and I had the chicken Kabob. It was dry as Joshua Tree National Park. Staff gave my friend wrong order, did not even apologize, just took it away and had to wait 20 minutes for correct order to come out. Friends could hear them bitching about us behind our backs.
Only saving grace is the chocolate covered strawberries.

Came here after watching Ellen and the food was delicious!
— Plenty of street parking available
— I ordered the plate of salmon with humus and pita bread.
— The rest of my group ordered the wrap and they loved every bit of it.
— The fries are bomb.
It’s a bit pricey for what it is, but everything was well worth the price.
–Very nice décor, and very clean inside.
I would totally be back to try other dishes.

Wow these people don’t even know what they’r doing
They got my order over the phone and when I came to pick it up they said there’s no such order.

So delicious /​flavorful, healthy and cheap!
This is my absolute favorite spot to visit for lunch. It has all the nutrients And Taste is never compromised! It’s like a American Mediterranean fusion food spot with nice vegetarian options
I think I have been here 15 times already and I am not a recurring customer type but I am definitely Loyal to Grilliant because their food is just so darn delicious and Guilt free cause it’s wholesome.
I love and crave their chicken wraps and delicious seasoned fries and I always grab the melon smoothie (its amazingly sweet) and the white chocolate dates (great fibre and desert)
Delicious food, consistently friendly service, and fast pickup if you order to go and they are never late on their ETAs.
Love this spot

Really nice place and great food. Prices also are slow now after that reasonable. I will definitely come back for more.

This place is excellent. I always get the Salmon Kebab plate and it never disappoints. The staff is friendly at this casual order-​at-​the-​counter eatery. The food takes a little while but that’s because it’s grilled fresh to order.
My wife prefers the Beef Kebabs but either way you can’t go wrong.
Great for lunch but he neighborhood is pretty dead at night so I’ve never been for dinner.
A healthy option that doesn’t taste like you are sacrificing anything.

So delicious wholesome and just awesome!!! cheap too
try their chicken kebab combo or their chicken shwarma and delicious fries…
also recommend their watermelon smoothie and white chocolate dates
super sweet and tasty and fresh

First time eating at Grilliant last night. You order at the counter but Allie/​Ali/​Ally (sorry not sure of spelling) was so accommodating. She brought us our water and was happy to hold the ice for me and put extra in my friend’s water. My friend doesn’t like zucchini and was brought a special veggie kabob without it. My friend can actually be very… specific… about her dining experience and food and everyone at Grilliant was very patient and generous.
We both had the grilled salmon kabob and it was amazing. The grilled veggies were delicious and the rice was perfect. I had a side of French fries that were seasoned really well.
I had the lavender latte and wasn’t crazy about it but I was definitely experimenting. If you like lavender infused drinks you’ll like it a lot.
Definitely a great place for a quick lunch or dinner. A nice atmosphere to sit and chat as well. I would also pick up from there.
Keep in my mind parking can be a nightmare at certain times of day with the studios around.

Ok. Went back with my boss today. I ordered the same salad. Success!
However my boss ordered the lentil soup of the day as noted on their specials board. What came out of the kitchen was not lentil soup.
After some research it was cauliflower soup. The person at the register heard him order lentil soup. Why not inform him then that the soup is cauliflower?
He did love the chicken noodle soup they brought out.
And I finally got to sit and eat my a salad.

Wow! What a pleasant surprise!
Delicious, fresh and even some organic food at a reasonable price point. Great staff & food was served quickly. Will for sure be back.

It gets super busy during lunch. Order ahead to pick it up and enjoy much more quickly.

This food is good! The hummus has something unique and different about it, but my wife and enjoyed it. Food came quickly. One complaint is that a man (the owner I believe) and an employee were going over business stuff at one of the tables near the front. Not a huge deal, they probably don’t have a good space in the back to do that, but that’s just a pet peeve of mine. Dining room is a good size if you have 4 – 6. Egg plant is tasty and has a nice roasted flavor. Fries are perfectly seasoned and you get a free chocolate covered strawberry for dessert with Unilocal check in!

Fizemos o tour da Warner, deixamos o carro no estacionamento e caminhamos uns 600m até aqui. Ótima surpresa! Comida deliciosa e saudável, atendimento muito bom a um preço bem razoável. Ganhamos até uns docinhos! Recomendo!

we ordered turkey wrap, various kabob plates, seasoned fries and all were yummy
~*~
i can imagine it being a popular lunch option, but luckily i didn’t have to deal with a crowd or wait… definitely will be back!

Had lot of food here. What stood out was the Kale salad and the salsa. The Kale salad was organic, tasty and had quite a bit of cheese in it. The salsa was sweet and different.
The salmon, chicken, and beef kebabs were fresh tasting and not overly cooked. The vegetable kebabs were overdone and had quite a bit of charring.
Took some quinoa salad, babaganush, and hummus home. Tasted much better when I had time to chew on it and savour the flavors. There is too much distraction when eating out with a crowd. Often it is a eating competition and there is no time to really enjoy the food. There is variety when eating in groups, the main draw back is eating it too quickly.

GRILLIANT! My office literally goes here every day. That is how good it is. There are people I work with that eat it every single day and still love it. I can’t eat it every day, but I eat it several times a week and it is consistently delicious. My favorite is the Kale Salad w/​Chicken. The lemon dressing is like crack to me. I’ve had pretty much the whole menu and have never been unhappy. The red sauce that comes with plates is also really, really effing good. Servers are super friendly and it’s always clean.

Well, it seems my last review was taken down because it did not ‘reflect a firsthand customer experience’. I thought I was being pithy, but absolutely no prob, I’m happy to expound on why I think Grilliant is a bad place to eat, this time with some more first-​hand specifics built in.
I’ll start with a question — do you love DILL? Do you want to marry dill and have its babies? Because my first-​hand experience with Grilliant’s rice is that ALL of the dill is in it. It’s part of a pattern of over-​seasoning in their food, at least in my personal, firsthand experience.
For the record, I’ve had the chicken and lamb kabobs (as discussed, way too salty and over-​seasoned, and also overcooked in the case of the chicken). I also had the toughest, least appetizing kale salad in town here.

Currently the best kabob joint in the neighborhood. Quality ingredients, prepared just as you’d expect. Gets crowded here, but worth it. Watch out though if they get a big office order you could wind up waiting 30 min for your food. I suggest going here after 1:00 pm.

Grilliant combines the food quality and portion sizes of a conventional «dine-​in» style restaurant with the convenience and casual nature of a «fast food» type restaurant. When I’m looking for a healthy lunch or dinner option I always come to Grilliant and I’m never disappointed. They offer a Mediterranean style menu with something for everyone and they never disappoint. This will remain one of my «go-​to» places.
I must say though, parking is super annoying, street parking only. But I’m not deducting stars for that.

Huge fan of their kale salad [+quinoa + salmon]!
It is delicious and filling, which is not necessarily the top two things you can say about a salad.
The salmon has such great flavor, melts into pieces and is not «fishy» at all. The citrusy dressing is well matched by the parmesan cheese and the almond pieces in the salad.
Shoutout to the cashier who suggested this. The customer service is always great and they are very quick with to go orders (especially during the rush hour that is lunch time).
Definitely and have been returning to this place.

You can also do a sit down, where you order first and they bring your food to you.
It is difficult to find parking, because everyone in the business buildings are all going to lunch at the same time. (There is usually parking on Riverside Dr when there is no parking anywhere else)

To summarize it in one word: Decent.
I came here with a craving for kabobs and I bookmarked this place for 2 months now. Finally gave it a whirl on the old pallet.
Upon first glance, the place is pretty clean. I figured they needed to get with the trendy times especially since the bougie olive & thyme used to be next door and all the movie execs don’t wanna be seen in uncle Ahmed’s sweaty kabob shop. ⁸⁄₁₀ for décor.
I straight up went for the meat platter with a side of tabbouleh — my go to, and pretty much my barometer for a kabob joint. I mean, if you mess those two up, it’s an automatic 1 star. But anyway, moving on…
The kabobs were tender and came out along side a creamy bed of rice as well as this ratatouille looking veggie side. Kinda fancy. I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised how everything fit together. From their yogurt sauce to this sweet tomato salsa. Everything made sense together. Well done.
I have yet to check out the other things on their menu. I heard their sandwiches are also bomb, but I’ll just leave this review here for now and revisit later. To be continued…

I can totally see why this place gets such great reviews. I ordered the beef filet plate with hummus on the side (season fries were out or not ready). The beef is very tender with a light marinade. The vegetables are charred at the edges for a smoky flavor. You get sour salsa and cooling yogurt sauce on the side. The rice is moist yet semi-​sweet. I wish the pita triangles were toasted, but too lazy to ask.
I also got a free chocolate covered strawberry for checking in. Kind of wish, I just got $ 1.75 discount instead.

Can i say enough amazingggg things about this place! Wow the food is just perfect. I have tried their chicken and salmon kabob plates. So delicious!!! I keep coming back for more every time. As a side i have once tried the eggplant caviar which was fresh and smokey and just right. And today i tried the hummus with my chicken and salmon combo plate, the hummus was delicious. The service is great, location is good too. I am a forever customer!!!

I went to this new eatery with such great expectations, and maybe that was my fault. I guess I was expecting the trendy new café — which it did have a hip grub feel. But something was missing… The food is OK, but not great. I had the chicken tortilla soup– not bad but not great. I also tried an eggplant dish which lacked taste. The kabob is very good.
I did like the service — they’re very nice. But I doubt I’ll go again. Plus there are so many options around them, that makes eating there not a top choice.

The Service: You order the food at the counter and they will deliver to your table. Great patio seating area. One staff behind the cash register and one staff making the food. They are super friendly and efficient.
The Food:
Organic Kale Salad — Organic kale, brussels sprouts, parmesan cheese & toasted almonds with house vinaigrette dressing. Super fresh!!! HUGE bowl for $ 9. The kale they use is not too tough to chew. They also put in shredded parmesan cheese and chopped almonds. Very healthy and filling!
*** Unilocal Check-​in bonus: one chocolate covered strawberry!!!
The Parking: Street parking on Riverside Dr. (1 hour free) & street parking on the side streets (residential area, 2 hours free)
