It was my birthday and I made reservations via open table and received a phone call from the restaurant confirming my reservation, on the day of the reservation. When I got there they informed me they do not use open table only Yelp. And about 20 people were in front of me all with reservations. The ladies at the desk informed me that the restaurant was converting to Yelp and will not take Open Table. I informed them nevertheless that I received a call that day confirming my reservation and someone should have informed me at 1:30 when they confirmed my 6:45 pm reservation. I also mentioned it was my birthday and showed her my phone call from Open Sesame to confirm my appt. I also responded yes to my reservation when I was texted that afternoon. They ladies came through and got me in for a table for 2 about 15 past my reservations. Thank you ladies for handling the large waiting crowds and getting me in. But someone should contact Open Table to let them know that Open Sesame should be removed from reservation capabilities to avoid over booking.

My partner and I eat Mediterranean food regularly, and we agreed that the food at Open Sesame is the best we've found in this category. The falafel, the babaganoush, the tabbouleh, all were outstanding in flavor, freshness and seasoning. We will definitely be back!

Delicious as always! We come here regularly and are never disappointed. Hard to vary from the staples we love but I'm always glad when I do. Definitely make a reservation or be prepared to wait a bit.

Love the food and the Turkish coffee. Brought my boyfriend for a Sunday date and he was very happy with the food. Worth the drive from Redlands!
