" Visited Esso with friends over the weekend, and it was lovely! We shared various dishes, and some stood out, like the stuffed grape leaves and chicken kabobs. The place flows with positive vibes, which makes dining here a joy. Portions were sizable, making it perfect to share. The only thing I noticed was the server could have been a tad more proactive. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wonderful little place for Mediterranean food! I loved their lamb kebabs, and the portions were very generous. The decor isn't flashy, but it feels comfortable and inviting. The owner was nice and made sure we enjoyed our meals. Family-run restaurants are hard to come by these days, and I appreciate the warmth they provide. " (*Curated Review*)

" Esso Mediterranean Bistro has earned a place in my heart! I keep coming back for their falafels, fantastic service, and warm atmosphere. The family vibe really enhances the dining experience, making you believe in the magic of home-cooked meals. It’s hard to go wrong here, really! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food at Esso was undoubtedly delicious, my recent experience was marred by a long wait for our table. We were excited to try their famous kebabs, but we stood outside for longer than expected. The service was polite and apologetic, but the wait took away from the overall experience. Once we were in, however, the food made up for it – truly unique flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Esso was nothing short of delightful! The atmosphere was very relaxed, and the owner was particularly friendly and down-to-earth. The vegetarian platter was to die for! I appreciated that they offer plenty of options for all dietary preferences. Good to see a place with genuine flavors in LA! " (*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*)
