" The Mediterranean dishes here are so tasty! The meal I had was well worth the price, with generous portions that filled me up quite nicely. The savory flavors reminded me a lot of my travels to the region. The only downside was the noise level when it got busy, but that didn’t deter me from enjoying the meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Esso Mediterranean Bistro is just what I needed! Being new to LA, I was searching for authentic Mediterranean food, and this place is it. The atmosphere isn’t fancy but has a homey feel, like eating at a family member’s house. The mixed meat platter was a feast – I loved the flavorful kebabs! Plus, the staff treated me like family. Will definitely return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to Esso multiple times now, and it’s amazing every time. The taste of their falafels are out of this world! As for service, it’s decent but can vary, as I've experienced both fantastic and just okay attention. Atmospherically it’s not very fancy, but it makes up for it with its homey feel. I can’t recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Oh my goodness! The flavors at Esso are incredible! We ordered a mix of dishes, including kabobs, baba ghanoush, and a fresh salad. Each dish tasted so authentic, and the ingredients were definitely fresh. The rice stole the show for me – fluffy and aromatic! The service was excellent, very welcoming and attentive. I would recommend this spot to anyone craving Mediterranean cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve tried Esso multiple times, and I adore their food! From the kibbe to the kebabs, they have it all! Recently tried their special seafood platter, and it was delightful – fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere feels family-oriented, which I really appreciate. Only downside is that it can get busy, leading to longer wait times. Worth every minute, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" Esso was a pleasant surprise! I loved the flavorful dishes and authentic selection available. The meal I ordered was presented nicely, though I thought it could have been just a touch warmer. The service was friendly; they clearly value their customers. I will return for another visit to try more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)
