The restaurant has really nice vibe and both great indoor and outdoor seating. The food tastes really good. I love the beef shawarma wrap and the portion is perfect. You can taste the freshness in their food and I guess the manager / owner is just there greeting people which is awesome. The place is definitely busy too. Will be back to try more dishes. Their service is great!

Opa Sesame Mediterranean Grill, nestled right on Second Street in Long Beach, is a spectacle in a bustling, tourist-heavy corridor. It capitalizes on prime real estate—outdoor seating literally on the street, offering a constant flow of people, culture, and energy. The food is where it excels: traditional Middle Eastern staples, with standout falafel and halal meats—everything from chicken plates to fragrant rice dishes. The quality is authentic, the taste unflinching in its originality. Yes, it leans on the pricier side—no surprise for a prime location and top-tier ingredients—but it delivers a complete package: a perfect family outing spot, where the ambiance, service, and food converge into a memorable, if deliberate, investment.

A very nice place & very tasty Lebanese food !! Wide variety of authentic dishes, so much to choose from & good value for this original Long Beach location of Open Sesame. N.B.: The baklava crumble ashta ice cream is "to-die-for" scrumptious !! 😋😋

I LOVE this place. Some of the best falafels and SWANA food I have ever had. The restaurant is nice and I love the outdoor seating. The waiters are wonderful and the good is fresh and well prepared. I have absolutely no complaints after coming here for lunch more than 5 times. It's my go-to lunch spot for Long Beach.

A welcoming & colorful spot to enjoy lunch. The weather was so nice (in December no less!) we dined on their charming patio. Our server was quite friendly & helpful with our questions. We were pleased they offered splits of Proseco which we each ordered. I loved both of the hummus’s on my plate. One was traditional and so creamy and the other one had a nice spicy kick to it. I only wish that there was more falafel balls on my plate. They were crispy and delicious but only two small ones- I could’ve eaten much more! The prices were quite reasonable.
