Restaurants in West Hills

Though the chefs at Falafelicious happily slice chicken shawarma from the spit and bake flaky squares of baklava, their favorite dish to make has always been falafel. They blend together three gluten-free varieties, including the classic version —made from garbanzo and green split peas—and their own recipes—made with sun-dried tomatoes or sesame. Once cooked, the chefs place the crispy balls in pitas, atop olive-strewn greek salads, or onto plates loaded with hummus or tahina.

They don't just make traditional dishes like kabobs, however. The chefs also experiment with Mediterranean twists on American classics, such as falafel burgers topped in hummus and babaganoush, and falafel tacos filled with Mediterranean cole slaw, hot sauce, and tahina. Because they have yet to find a way to make falafels into dessert, they instead bake homemade baklava.

Clay Oven Indian Restaurant’s traditional tandoor ovens bake sizzling poultry, seafood, and veggie dishes from a diverse menu. A daily lunch buffet and weekend champagne brunch let diners hover over a multitude of dishes infused with traditional spices, using their forks as divining rods. Cradled in gold-hued chairs, patrons complete culinary adventures by digging into indian rice pudding, traditional pistachio ice cream, or a giant stack of after-dinner mints in the shape of the Taj Mahal.

Roscoe Bakery's strip-mall locale and small display case belie the whimsical and sophisticated creations whipped up by the bakery’s team of bakers and pastry chefs. They specialize in the creation of wedding and children’s cakes topped with imaginative motifs that range from fondant flowers and frosted unicorns to well-researched scientific hypotheses. For smaller occasions, they bake five flavors of cupcakes, swirled in rich buttercream.

Within their french-fry-adorned van, the culinary wizards of Meet n' Potatoes stack up a sandwich base of tomatoes, coleslaw, french fries, provolone, and the customers' choice of one of seven main ingredients to create East Coast–inspired sandwiches. Infuse a sandwich with a small or large serving of pastrami ($5 or $8) or kielbasa ($5 or $8) before draping it in the immodest culinary chic of extra ingredients such as triple-cheese spread ($1) or the spicy-garlic-and-truffle-aioli-flavored Dr. B option ($1). Sides of loaded fries that Zagat’s says “really grabbed our attention” start with fries and layer pastrami, cheese, and edible bedtime stories on top, and a jumbo fried egg ($1) is addable to any item.
