I am literally obsessed with this restaurant -- I moved out of LA a few months ago and literally dream of this place lol. The food is so good and fresh! I love Greek food and this is my favorite place to get it.
So bomb. I got the lamb & beef shawarma on top of salad. I love how fresh the salad and toppings are and the meat is actually juicy and tender. Love the Mediterranean toppings and how you can customize it to your taste. My bf and sister got 2 salads too and we all thoroughly enjoyed it! It's a quick and easy place to grab food.
Been trying to find a lunch spot in Playa near my new office, and glad I came across Rodini Park today. The other walkable options are Tocaya (so so bad), HomeState (fine, but not great) and HERE!!!! I got the Lamb/Beef Gyro (classic size) and I loved it. They toast the pita bread on flattop with olive oil, add in protein , and then you build it yourself with toppings and sauce. I got cucumber, tomato, and onion with tzatziki and their house-made Mount Olympus sauce (this was unreal). It's like a tangy, creamy, spice (not spicy) yogurt based sauce (I literally cannot compare it to anything because it's amazing, unlike anything I've had). The price point is a little high at $16 for a pita and $4 for an iced Tea ($20 lunch) but it's 2024. Will be back for sure, can't wait.
Couldn't recommend this place enough. Luckily we live close so it's our go to place. Best Mediterranean food and there's so many options. We always take friends when they visit.
Absolutely love this place! it's definitely one of my favorite food spots in Playa Vista. They validate parking in the structure, unlike the place next door, which only claims to validate parking, so you can be in and out quickly if you're picking up food to go. They have a Chipotle style set up but that doesn't mean the service isn't stellar. They'll let you try meats and items on the protein list and help you build out your order. I've gotten the chicken breast platter on every visit, but I've sampled the fried falafel and it's delicious. All the veggies have always been really fresh and delicious. The turmeric rice is just delicious and the meat quality is amazing. I'm personally really picky about meat, but it's always been top quality--no gross or dark meat pieces in the chicken breast and they make it fresh to order. The desserts are also incredible! I've tried the baklava cheesecake and salted caramel butterscotch cheesecake and both were absolutely amazing if you're a baklava fan! Highly recommend this spot!
Amazing place. I've been to the north Hollywood location several times and loved it. The gluten free pita is fantastic and they use precautions such as separate stovetop and will change their gloves as well. The food is always fantastic and staff is friendly and welcoming. I'm so happy the playa location has finally opened we will be frequenting this location often as it is closer to our home. Food is the same fantastic quality as the north Hollywood location. They validate parking so it makes it super easy. Peter the owner is so sweet and caring which shows in his staff and the food at this restaurant. 100% a must for those gluten free because the gluten free pita is FANTASTIC.
