The Lebanese Kitchen serves some of the best tasting Lebanese food in the greater Los Angeles area. It's even better than some of my favorites in the Westwood area (like Sunnin Lebanese Cafe).\r
The service is a bit rude to say the least. Food is cheaply priced, and the lamb kebab sandwich is extraordinary. Usually the lamb is grizzly and tough at most places. This one had succulent lamb that makes me want to drive back there right now! Parking is free. The bathroom is in the kitchen which is a bit weird, but then again, I always enjoy walking through the kitchens so i can see for myself how clean it is.\r

The biggest drawback is that it took 3 trips to pasadena to eat at this place! Even when we had reservations for a group of 8, they closed at 8pm on a Saturday night even thoguh they are supposed to close at 9pm. Another time, they were closed at 7:30pm on Friday night for a private party of 4. This was very aggrevating. The restaurant does not value its customers at all. So if you actually stumble across this sanctuary of ambrosia when the kitchen is open, it's excellent. Don't drive far to come here because it will possibly be closed.
Pros: delicious food
Cons: rude service and they close early at night
