Tava House Restaurant

I recently drove from Redondo Beach with my 15-year- old to the Glendale Galleria to go to the Lego Store. After this pleasant experience, we were starving and I was in the mood for Mediterranean food. I Googled nearby restaurants and only one restaurant had 5 stars and was reasonably priced.
