I now live in NorCal, but I dream of Open sesame. I used to live in Long Beach and discovered this place the very first week I moved there. It is amazing- I had Open Sesame maybe every month after that. Everytime I visit So.Cal, this place is a must on my list. Best dishes- Kibbeh Potatos Chicken Tawook plate... More

This was our first stop in our trip to Long Beach. We ate at the "newer" location on the corner, two doors down from the original location. The service was prompt and friendly - even giving us a sample of labne, which was wonderful! We had a kebob combo, with spicy hummus, and the lamb special. Both were fantastic, with... More

We stopped in and placed a take-out order for four. It's super nice that they have a 20 minute parking spot right out front for you to wait at while your order is being filled. I told the girl (I can't remember her name but she is the reason I am writing this review) we were going to the beach... More

My wife is middle eastern and when she has a craving it is one of her favorite places. My favorite dish is the Kbssa, and it is tender and delicious. Not a bad place to relax and watch the crowd go by; it is always a show!

The food was fantastic! Atmosphere is great! Even though the inside is small it is well decorated and fun. The patio is perfect. Make sure you get the potatoes and friend cauliflower!

Drove by a couple times and always busy. We decided to stop and sat outside. Ordered apt and open sesame combo. Pleasantly surprised both of us like the food and service. Asked for change for meter and they offered to key the meter and we would not have to pay.. Wow amazing. We would come back and would recommend.

I at here 3/26/13 and had a very good experience. The food was fresh and everyone in our party of 7 had good things to say about their food. I had the Sultan's Platter and the lamb and fillet were extremely tender and tasty. I would recommend trying this restaurant. The heat lamps made it very comfortable on the outside... More

We dined here on Wednesday, March 20, 2013. We were seated in the back next to the bar, a little tight after it got busy, but OK. The bartender was our prompt server. We ordered the Falafel patties, Tabouleh and Filet Mignon Pita. All were absolutely outstanding choices. My daughter considers herself a falafel connoisseur, having eaten it all over... More

First there are two locations - open on the corner and one mid-block. We went for lunch and sat outside watching the activity along 2nd Street. Everything is fresh and wonderful. The wait staff is friendly and efficient. But it is the food that is so wonderful - all your favourite mediterranean dishes are here for an excellent price. It... More
