The Grill Stories is a hidden gem! I got the beef shish plate and it was amazing — super juicy meat, rice, fresh salad, and probably the best hummus I’ve had in a while. The grilled pepper and pita were a nice touch, and the red pepper sauce brought everything together perfectly. Portions are big, flavors are spot on, and everything tastes fresh. Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for something tasty and satisfying.
Absolutely amazing Mediterranean restaurant! The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Warm pita and juicy lamb kebab made my day. My plate was full of authentic flavors and has a big portion. The waiter was friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. The atmosphere was clean, cozy, and perfect for a relaxing meal with family or friends. For a desert try their Pakhlava it’s something. Highly recommend this place if you’re craving delicious Mediterranean food — I’ll definitely be coming back!
Delicious food. The kabobs are juicy. Waitress was nice. They also have beer, wine, and expresso. There is limited seating inside, but they have a nice covered outside patio with plenty of sitting. It was a very peaceful and relaxing environment. Highly recommend for you to go and enjoy
I had an amazing experience at The Grill Stories. The presentation alone was impressive—beautifully arranged platters with fresh, vibrant ingredients. The hummus was incredibly smooth and flavorful, the tabbouleh tasted refreshing and authentic, and the grilled meats were perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. Every component on the platter—from the roasted vegetables to the pickled onions and sauces—was thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff provided attentive, friendly service throughout our meal. It’s clear this place takes pride in both quality and hospitality. Highly recommend The Grill Stories for anyone looking for delicious Mediterranean cuisine and a memorable dining experience. I will definitely be returning!
I’ve been here twice and will definitely come back for more great food that this place has. Last time I’ve tried chicken shish kebab and it was done perfect, juicy, fresh, well seasoned and grilled. This time I’ve tried beef kebabs and it was delicious. The service was great and they were able to accommodate my wife’s dietary needs. Nice and clean place with great food options. Highly recommend 👍👍👍
The food was delicious!!! The group plate was meaty, rich, savory, and fresh. It was enough for 4 people but you should get extra pita bread. The atmosphere outside is very fresh and sociable. There is limited seating so you may need to wait a bit.
I took my family here Saturday February 28, 2026. We had a wonderful delicious Mediterranean food experience Great service, friendly people, outdoor dining priced perfectly. The pictures will show how fantastic it was. If you enjoy Mediterranean food this is the place to go. Thank you to The Grill Stories
This is definitely a delicious hidden gem of a place. If you enjoy dining al fresco like me well you’re in luck. The patio area is beautiful and so peaceful. I came on a Sunday so this is my experience. I ordered their Chicken Sish plate and the presentation was very eye pleasing. But would it taste as good as it looked? Oh it certainly did! The chicken was moist and not dry like some places and the spices were on point with every bite. The Basamati rice was also good along with the hummus. To finish off this wonderful meal I had a piece of their homemade Baklava and that sealed the deal. The service was attentive and super friendly. So if you’re in the area and looking for some delicious Mediterranean food then definitely check this place out.
The best Mediterranean in Sylmar and San Fernando. The food is amazing and really fresh. The lamb is so good! The sauces are amazing. The pita bread is amazing. It's much better quality than other restaurants. I hate trying new restaurants because Im super picky about food quality. But we are so glad we tried this spot it's out of our new favs. Also we met the owners and they are really nice I'm happy to support this business.
I’ve walked by this spot several times on my way to the local brewery and finally decided to stop in for lunch today. I’m glad I did. Everything was excellent. The food came out quickly and was hot, fresh, and very flavorful. I had the lamb kebab plate, and I’d easily give it a 5 out of 5. The service and overall experience were great. I’ll definitely be back soon with my wife. Highly recommended.
