Love love the authentic food, including the musakhan, hummus and skewers. The service was incredible, such a quiet place with big flavor. I just wish they were in LA.

Total gem. Grateful for the cuisine, hospitality, and ambiance.
First time trying Freekah and it did not disappoint. The ambiance is great, really nice spot to sit and enjoy a meal. We're vegetarian and ended up trying all the specials, everything was delicious. One funny thing: the bathroom uses a QR code for touchless access, which is a cool idea but felt like a lot when you're just trying to use the restroom. Small thing though. The food and vibe more than made up for it. Would definitely come back again.








The food portions were extremely small for the prices, and the drinks had very little flavor. When I mentioned my concerns to the server, I was told that this is a tapas restaurant. However, I didn’t see anything on the menu that clearly indicated the restaurant was serving tapas-style portions. Horrible experience. I decided to visit Freekeh based on the positive Google reviews, but unfortunately, my experience was nothing like what was described. Overall, I found the experience disappointing and overpriced for what was offered. Based on my visit, I would not return or recommend it.
The portions are extremely small. They served only a spoonful of rice. After leaving, I ended up going to another restaurant because I was still hungry. It definitely isn’t worth the price. If you’re thinking about visiting based on the reviews, I’d recommend thinking twice.
Portions are extremely small for price.
Definitely do not trust the reviews and go here. My friend and I went based on the good reviews, but the portions are very small. They don't mention that the dishes are small plates (tapas), yet they charge even more than full-portion prices. Save your money and go somewhere else. We made that mistake, so don't fall for it too. Unless you have money to burn and can order two portions, you won't get full. It is definitely not worth the price. We even told the restaurant owner about it, but they did absolutely nothing to make up for it
"I definitely do not recommend it. The portions are very small—they served about a single spoonful of rice on the side. I ordered lemonade, and 3/2 [two-thirds] of it was just ice with no actual lemon in it. It is absolutely not worth the money. After leaving this place, we went to a Lebanese restaurant where the portions and taste were excellent. Definitely do not recommend. Don't fall for the reviews and go here like I did; they offer incentives in exchange for reviews, so the comments are inflated
Portions are extremely small for price seems like a rip off. Drinks are mainly just ice.
Food was tasty, however the waitress could work on her customer service a little.
Everything is sublime from the beet salad to the mocktails. Try the baklava with ice cream. So delicious. The servers are efficient and friendly. The music is lively but not overwhelming. It was a wonderful experience.


Loved our food and the different ambience!




Comforting & Delightful! First time visiting this place. Having seen a wide Vegetarian selection in the menu, it’s been in my list to try for sometime. Non complicated menu with cozy ambiance. We tried Veggie Musakhan, Bamia bil bandorah, freekeh. While the Bamia bil bandorah was little familiar to Indian sabji, freekeh was comforting and flavorful. First time I haven’t tried Falafel when it’s on the menu and still not regretted it (just because what we got was too good).



Food was underwhelming and portions were small. The service felt rushed and we couldn’t enjoy the experience. Would not go back.
Amazing experience. Really excellent menu with good explanations. Nabulsi cheese was so good and falafel was the best I’ve had in a very long time. Everything felt balanced and extremely flavorful. If you’ve still got room, would recommend the kanafeh because that was awesome.
Came with a group of three and ordered several things to split! The house sampler was the group favorite- you can enjoy three different hummuses (my fav was the pomegranate one) and their falafels (fluffy and flavorful)! The musakhan was also delicious and the portion size was generous. The jibneh nabulsi was good but not a must order





This is truly the best Palestinian food I’ve ever had! Will come back every time I visit. The restaurant is beautiful, food is incredible and service is amazing.
The shish kabob was very chewy and overcooked, the baba ganoush was bland, it didn't have a smoky flavor, the saffron sauce was overpowering, the manual comes in a wrap and it's disappointing and flavorless. It's not worth it
