“ We ate here on the high recommendation of a friend. Oh my they did not undersell it AT ALL. The food was INCREDIBLE. I was too into eating that I forgot to take pix of it. Ordered the sake monitor, very tasty. Then my husband and I shared the spicy potatoes with garlic sauce. Let me tell you that garlic sauce is EVERYTHING. I would bathe in it. I would order a tub and put it on everything I eat til the end of time. Absolutely delicious. We also shared the combo plate with the meatball? Chicken and steak I believe. Omg the meats were cooked to perfection. You have an option of a dip and a salad with each entree plate and we opted for babaganoosh and the fatoosh salad. They were both very good but truly the rice and garlic sauce and meat on the plate outshine the salad and dip. Theyre good but their neighbors on the plate are just better. We went with friends who both ordered the lamb chops. They had been a few weeks ago and knew exactly what they wanted because those chops were heaven. My friend was kind enough to share so we could try and OMG. They werent kidding. I swear you will not regret anything you order off of this menu. It was all mouthwateringly delicious. I cant speak enough good things about this place. Go. Eat. You will not regret it! ”

“ Returning to Open Sesame Grill after 10 years has given me a whole new perspective. The food and service have only gotten better. Our waiter was extremely attentive, and the food was so good that we literally emptied our plates. I also appreciated the ceremony of cleaning our hands with rose water and the attention from someone who appeared to be in management, checking to ensure everything was okay at our table! ”

“ Im doing a job nearby and the homeowners recommended this place and wow I must say this is the jackpot of Mediterranean in Long Beach. I ordered the Sultan and it was absolutely delicious. The staff were so friendly and attentive as well. The food was super fresh full of flavor. The lamb marinade was incredible and the baba ghanoush was some of the best Ive ever had. I will definitely go back. This was a very memorable experience. 1010!! ”

“ Open Sesame never disappoints, and our recent visit was no exception! The food was, as always, absolutely deliciousflavorful, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. But what truly made our experience stand out was our incredible server, Dahlia. From the moment we sat down, Dahlia was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. She made fantastic recommendations, ensured our drinks were always full, and checked in at just the right moments without ever feeling intrusive. Her friendly and upbeat personality added such a welcoming touch to our meal. It was crowded too, but she didnt make us feel like she was in a hurry. If youre dining at Open Sesame, I highly recommend asking for Dahliashe truly elevates the experience! Well definitely be back soon! ”
