green cottage encino - Mediterranean restaurant in Encino - 17312 Ventura Blvd, USA

Excellent food. We had the Bolanese (can't spell or say this word, blame Arlette) the mushrooms pizza, and the Greek salad. The mushroom pizza in particular got my attention. I personally am not a big mushroom person but the seasoning and herbs used to make the pizza was excellent. Arlette our server was very attentive and funny. The owner Roya (hope I spelled that right!) Was there and she was great too. The overall experience was awesome and we'll definitely be back again. Super clean and inviting environment. Found a random fork on the bathroom counter and everyone found that amusing. Somebody snacking in there? :P

I stop today for late lunch. I ordered an appetizer combo and Greek salad. The hummus from the appetizer plate was very dried, not tasty at all. I could it make a better salad. This place has nothing of gourmet either home made style. $50 wasted.

I ordered takeout from here. One of the items was the combo platter. The platter is mostly dips. They neglected to include the bread. When I called them to ask them about it the lady was very rude and offered no solution. I won’t be coming back here. They’re very rude.

Food was pretty good and fresh. The ambience is clean and cozy too. Note that 18% service charge is included and they would ask for tips on top of that.

Currently my favorite Persian restaurant in the valley, besting even some popular spots in Glendale and West LA. The fresh off the grill taste and how savory the meats and rice are without tasting salty is a revelation! I tried special barg (combo of koobideh and filet) combo, the lamb chops, tuna sashimi salad, and the lemon-nana. All top notch. IG: kay_okay_eat

We got to go. It took about 20 minutes on a Tuesday afternoon around 4pm. We were the only customers there (understandably). Expensive for not very large portions. $20 for chicken kebab plate with only one chicken kebab with one piece of zucchini, one tomato, and one piece of broccoli with a small side salad. We ordered two plates and only got one piece of bread. The grilled vegetables were all a little burnt, and everything was a bit too salty. The chicken was mostly pretty juicy though.

First off, quarantine ruined everything. We can agree on that. But Green Cottage has made things so much easier with their outdoor patio surrounded by so much plant life it feels like I'm in a Mediterranean Garden! Came here to grab a beer before my eye appointment and (heads up don't bother because they keep messing things up) stayed for the calzone and the hummus. So fresh and so rich I was so amazed at how casual the location is but the quality of ingredients and taste of the food is so homemade and delicious. We had a delicious beer and better food! Come and you won't be disappointed in the Mediterranean flavor.

When you walk in, you feel like you walked in a 5 star restaurant. You're immediately greeted and taken to a table. Restaurant is a comfortable size Parking lot is big but usually crowded The service was amazing. The food even better. I ordered the vegetarian pizza and it was filled with veggies and tasted amazing, but healthy. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
