    Not quite as good as its flagship on Westwood Blvd, but a great value. Very attentive staff.

    Delicious food, fast service. The pita is thin and crispy, not a heavy dough, so you can eat a lot! Hummus, fries, chicken kabob's were all tasty. Very pretty inside, comfortable seating.

    We had a lovely and very inexpensive dinner at Sunnin. Our waiter was super kind and detail oriented. The food was fresh and delicious. They do a lot of gluten free items.

    This is the sister restaurant of Sunnin Westwood. The food is phenomenal. The service is friendly. Kind of a sleeper in Santa Monica. Check it out.

    Finding a nice meal on a budget is difficult near LA, but this place delivers. They have happy hour before 6 PM with discount on beer and wine. They offer good Lebanese cuisine which sounds more exotic than it is. If you've not yet tried it, you should. I had the salmon and it was a generous piece nicely flavored and came with 2 sides - I got salad and rice. It also was cooked to being just done, which one doesn't always find in a restaurant that also serves meat - good job! We eat hummus daily and yet still order it when we go out, generally I complain that there isn't enough bread provided to eat this appetizer, but they got the proportions correct. My husband had the Beef Shawarma but was more thrilled with the Lentil soup. I also loved the pickled turnips, but my husband was not a fan. If you're in Santa Monica, give this place a try - no reservations needed.

    The food was fair to good. We ate late after a movie so it was very quiet. Seemed like a good vibe place but it was practically empty at 8 pm on a Saturday night.

    Food was surprisingly below par. Chicken in my swarma was very dry. My wife thought her falafel was not fresh and was probably from a food service company. However service was good and place had a good decor which was appealing.

    About a month ago I tried Sunnin's Westwood restaurant for the first time, and I wrote frankly that while my friend enjoyed her dinner, I did not. In particular, I found the baba ganoush tasteless. I learned while enjoying a delicious dinner with 2 other excited diners that "Grandma", whose recipes serve as the basis for the cooking, had been in Lebanon for the past month. I was offered a taste of what baba ganoush tastes like when Grandma's back, and it was spectacular. So I'm a big fan now of Sunnin. Wonderful service, lovely family runs the place, and the food is so interesting and delicious, we pretty much pigged out :)
