" I had the opportunity to enjoy a delightful meal at Desert Rose and I was thoroughly impressed! The fresh ingredients and the vibrant flavors made each dish a joy to eat. I tried the lamb ribs and they were tender and well seasoned. The friendly atmosphere and attentive service added to the experience. This spot definitely deserves your attention! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at Desert Rose, and the experience was enhanced by incredible service. Our server was charismatic, promptly attended to all our needs, and made excellent recommendations. I indulged in their falafel, which was crispy and flavorsome, absolutely one of the best I've had. The atmosphere was warm, perfect for a nice evening out. Highly recommend it to anyone craving Mediterranean fare! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was not impressed with my visit to Desert Rose. The food lacked the freshness I anticipated, and the service was below average. I had to remind the server for my drinks, and when the food finally arrived, it was lukewarm. I ordered the beef kabobs expecting them to be juicy, but they were quite dry. On the other hand, the atmosphere was nice with pleasant lighting, but that was not enough to redeem the dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Desert Rose is indeed a gem in the Los Feliz neighborhood! It serves up a delightful assortment of traditional Mediterranean dishes. The ambiance offers a cozy and intimate feel, which is complemented by friendly staff. I had the chicken kabob that was marinated beautifully and cooked perfectly. The portion size was decent as well! I'd recommend this place to anyone craving honest Mediterranean food! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Desert Rose was less than satisfactory. Upon arrival, we were met with a long wait, despite having a reservation. The staff were slow to attend to our table and we didn't get our drinks until after 30 minutes. While the food, particularly the shrimp pasta, was tasty, the portion size left much to be desired – just five shrimp! I would have expected more for the price. Hopefully, they can sort out their service issues because the food has great potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" Desert Rose offers a lovely environment but seems to have conflicting food quality. I had the roasted cauliflower dish, and while the presentation was stunning, the dish was lacking in taste. On the other hand, my friend ordered the lamb and raved about its deliciousness. The service was friendly, though slightly slow, which can be improved. I'd recommend this place for drinks and ambiance, but I'll think twice before ordering the cauliflower again. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has transformed into a local favorite for my friends and me! We've visited several times and each time, we are met with a warm environment and delicious food that feels wholesome and homemade. The service is usually quick and friendly. The only drawback has been on busy nights when there seems to be a bit of a lag in food delivery, but the taste certainly makes up for it! The variety on the menu is also fantastic, making it hard to choose just one dish! " (*Curated Review*)
