A welcoming & colorful spot to enjoy lunch. The weather was so nice (in December no less!) we dined on their charming patio.
Our server was quite friendly & helpful with our questions.
We were pleased they offered splits of Proseco which we each ordered.
I loved both of the hummus’s on my plate. One was traditional and so creamy and the other one had a nice spicy kick to it. I only wish that there was more falafel balls on my plate. They were crispy and delicious but only two small ones- I could’ve eaten much more! The prices were quite reasonable.

I’ve been coming to Open Sesame when they were just a small restaurant with just the bar area and a few tables up front and in the patio. There is a reason why they have been around for over 20 years in such a competitive landscape. For me, it’s the quality and consistency of flavors that is why I keep coming back. The prices have gone up considerably but so has everywhere else you see so I’m okay with it. Everything on the menu is great so just stop by and you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend!

Dinner at Open Sesame did not disappoint! The chicken tawook and beef kabobs were tender and savory, and you can’t go wrong with Ali’s Favorite. Every bite was delicious. 10/10!

One of our all time favorite spots. Can’t go wrong with any of the many options but our favorites include the open sesame pizza, spicy garlic potatoes, any of the kebab entrees, and can’t forget the garlic sauce.

Compared to many of the other Mediterranean restaurants, the food wasn’t the greatest but the service and the atmosphere was great! The food was little bland and the shrimp was too little and too much rice and the bread fell apart.

So many amazing options for meat eaters and vegetarians! Food and service are all phenomenal. This place definitely had a buzz and an amazing vibe the entire time I was there. Sitting on the patio was a great experience too. There were lots of very well placed heaters throughout. I am sad I live so far away from this place because I would definitely come back more regularly if I was local.

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!

Steven and I had such a great dining experience in Long Beach and I’m thoroughly impressed. We ordered the Yassmina pizza and I had the chicken shawarma plate—everything was incredible. The grilled chicken might be the best I’ve ever had. It was perfectly cooked—juicy, never dry—with a smoky, marinated flavor that came through beautifully. We also shared the potatoes, which had a bright, citrusy kick, and the falafels, which were crispy on the outside and surprisingly moist inside (not dry at all!). The space itself is cozy and full of character, with lots of beautiful artwork on the walls that adds to the experience. I will definitely be coming back here.
