The best breakfast and lunch spot in the area hands down! If you want a massive breakfast burrito to go, order ahead and stop in to pick it up. I generally order via the Yelp app but you can also call in. Awesome chicken and waffles, breakfasts, and sandwiches too!! It gets very busy on weekends so you can expect to wait 45 minutes for a table unless you check in for a table early on Yelp.

Top notch sushi! Excellent quality. This is one of the best sushi restaurants in Los Angeles and certainly my favorite in the valley. It is definitely more pricey than most but you get what you pay for. This is not a place for someone looking for lots of different rolls, this is more traditional with an emphasis on sushi and sashimi. If too crowded try Yuzu sushi across the street, it has the same owners and exact same menu.

My favorite Indian food in the area. Chicken Tikka Masala is amazing here! They have a very small parking area so parking can be a pain here sometimes. I would recommend delivery or takeout if you don't want to deal with parking. Small restaurant with great ambiance!
