Wraps are delicious, and they are quite large! Highly recommend the crimson chicken wrap with the garden salad on the side, the portions are quite big, but that makes sense because it’s not cheap, my wrap and salad after tax was $21. But the food taste really good, the wrap had tortilla chip bits which made it crunchy, which was really yummy, and the ingredients tasted really fresh and delicious.

Fresh and delicious! Friendly outgoing staff. It was busy on a Thursday afternoon for lunch. I had the ground sirloin wrap with a side of tabbouleh and their tomato soup which was great. It was so filling my friend and I split it.

It was an overall good experience. The food was satisfying but there is room for improvement. The sides could have been better. They have vegetarian options too.

Food was good but could have a bit larger sides. Had to pay an extra .75$ for each garlic sauce.

Very good, reasonably priced and easy street parking.

Food is phenomenal. I love well cooked meat and high quality ingredients. This place has both. The chicken is cooked to perfection, so juicy and tender it’s damn near fluffy. I recommend the crimson salad with chicken shawarma. Life changing stuff

Ordered the chicken kabob meal and a chai latte. Total cost was $33. Cafe-type dining where you order at the register and they give you a number. Nicely decorated and clean. Latte was amazing, food was decent - good enough for me to be a repeat customer.

The food here is quite good, but I've had some issues with the service. Expect to wait around 30 minutes for your food, even if you're just ordering takeout. I once had to wait 20 minutes for some pita bread that they had forgotten. Additionally, on another occasion, they missed a side item I had ordered, and instead of addressing it with better customer service, I was charged full price and ended up feeling as though I hadn't communicated my order properly, even though I clearly did.

AMAZING. Huge portions and each bite is so well seasoned with so much flavor. I especially loved the garlic dip with this plate. Ample seating and some free/metered parking close by! -0.5 stars because the wait was long :-/

My bf picked this up for us for a light dinner I got their chicken wrap and shirazi salad Light enough to finish for a meal and not make you feel bloated and gross Flavors are delightful The chicken wrap was great Definitely a new place to add to my rotation My bf ordered togo so I cannot attest to service or ambiance but knowing him, he wouldnt pick crimson as an option (which is also in his rotation) if he didnt think it was a great place to eat

The tortilla looks like was bitten and other one in half. Also the limen is in side the garlic and the rose sauce in side hummus, so unhygienic. Never order here again!!!

I was craving something like a shawarma or Mediterranean food, and found Crimson with good reviews and not too far from me. It's counter service so I figured it's probably just going to be ok. It was more than ok. It was great. It's was very busy at lunchtime but I found metered parking. I got the chicken kabob plate with Greek salad and garlic sauce as my sides. The plate also came with basmati rice, hummus and pitas. It was a huge amount of food and everything was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. It did take a bit of time to get my order, but that only meant it was busy and they were grilling my chicken after I ordered. A little pricey but worth it!

Short: Solid mediterranean options with a nice seating area. Long: I stopped by Crimson in Santa Monica and tried the chicken wrap. The food was solid overall, with the chicken being the standout--juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. It really elevated the dish. The rest of the wrap was good but didn't quite match the same level. The service, however, was just okay--not terrible, but it lacked the warmth or attentiveness that could've made the experience better. The inside has plenty of seating and was alright. Overall a decent place, however seems like more of a takeout restaurant.

When the wait at Society Kitchen was just too long, I took a walk around the corner and decided to finally try this spot. It wasn't too crowded and it looked really nice. The food also smelled delicious! I ordered a kebab plate and it was pretty good! The portions were really generous and the meat was fresh, too. I didn't like the sauce on the grape leaves, but that may just be my personal preference.

Apparently, dayshift and night shift in this place are completely different The food during the day was light and fresh and flavorful We ordered takeout from here tonight on my recommendation just so I could share the restaurant with friends , and there wasn't a single thing that I wanted to eat. Everything was overly salty, overly smoky, grisly chewy chicken... just generally unpleasant. won't be eating here again

At first I was a little confused, how to reach the place, I was coming from Santa Monica area going east. It's small & intimate, so I do appreciate the accommodations they made to seat our party of 10. Its is very convenient to pay ahead but you also need to look at the menu b4 hand. I also reviewed yelp before selecting my food. I got the Chicken Kabob (white) plate- no Tahini (can't do dairy) humus, garlic sauce with a Kale salad. I really enjoyed the Persian Tea Latte with Oatmilk. Over all everything was delicious. My only downside was that I ordered food before half of the people in my party but received my food & latte super late (the last person). I got my latte after my food. In addition I got a chocolate chip cookie, very soft (not quite firm enough for me) but tasted delicious. Yes I would definitely eat here again. Just not with soo many people. And the Persian Latte is perfect- not too sweet but still captures the essence of Persian tea.

***Visited July 27*** Although I love the food here, I must say that I was really disappointed at the fact that you can't get two of the same sides when ordering a meal. I always get the chicken kabob plate w/two sides. This time I wanted to get two mini pesto salads as my selections. Please note that these "mini" salads are truly that and they consist of 85% broccoli. After being denied my choices, I was told that I could purchase a large pasta salad at an additional cost (when my meal and drink is already close to $30.) The cashiers up sale speech felt cold and callous along with his attitude. I understand they are trying to run a business, but a little courtesy goes a long way. Especially for frequent customers.

Crimson is good but not great. I'd give it 3.5 on 5 stars but that's not an option. Pickup takes over 30 minutes, so this is not a quick pickup. Also note they levy a $0.99 online order fee. I went there a second time. This time to try a Sesame Falafal Wrap. They give you a choice of Lavash, Spinach Tortilla or Wheat Tortilla. I opted for the spinach tortilla, which is a wheat tortilla with a little spinach in it. The wrap comes with romaine lettuce, broccoli, corn, red onions, cucumbers, & rose sauce + sesame dressing. It would've been great, except the dressing is super sweet. I am sure some guests like their wrap to taste like a dessert, but that's not this reviewer. A request for management if they listen, please indicate in menu whenever an item includes more than 1 tsp of sugar. I'd have opted for the spicy falafel wrap like last time, but didn't realize the sauce would be so sweet. It kind of ruined what would've been an otherwise a decent wrap. It tends to overpower the palette. On the brighter side, the portion sizes are decent. I opted for 2 sides at a discount when you buy a wrap, for $2 each: Grilled Veggies (done just right, with a little salt and what may have been olive oil) and Babaganoush (smoky eggplant dip). They throw in some pita as well. I liked both the sides. The banaganoush is excellent, very fresh, savory and felt high quality. The pita is pillowy soft, which indicated freshness and a great accompaniment to the sides. Finally the grilled veggies (onion, yellow and red bell pepper, zucchini and yellow squash) came with a wedge of lemon and that was all you needed to taste the juicy yet perfectly grilled veggie. Service has always been pleasant, except they forgot to add to the utensils. For $21, this is a tad on the expensive side for a wrap and 2 mini sides, but in a pinch before you get hangry, a decent option in the sunset park neighborhood. I wouldn't go there specifically for a meal, but maybe if I am feeling lazy and don't feel like driving, this is a decent pickup option.

Leaving this review to remind myself to get the CHICKEN (not filet mignon) plate with one side. I have been to Crimson about 5 times. Every time I go I forget what I order and have the waiter pick chicken or steak for me since I can't remember (living on the wild side, right?). Four out of the five times I've gotten chicken and enjoyed it but kept wondering what the filet mignon tasted like. Today the cashier recommended the steak and it had a weird aftertaste. So hopefully next time I go, I'll remember get the chicken only - they recommend the dark meat because it's more flavorful. There are two crimson locations in Santa Monica. Come to this one because the food tastes better, the service is faster, there's a free parking lot in the plaza, and (personal bias) you can get my favorite beverage (Dr Pepper) from the restaurant next door. The other location is bigger but I've never had an issue getting a table at this location.

This is a great restaurant in Santa Monica on Ocean Park Blvd. just across from the SM airport/business park. On my 2 visits so far, I really enjoyed the food, service and ambience with comfy outdoor heated seating. I had the lamb plate with sides(lentil soup & Greek salad)and the sirloin wrap which is the best I've ever had of that type of item. The fries were excellent. Service by Spencer was fully on point, friendly and professional. He ranks in my top ten for service in LA. Highly recommended.

I like Crimson, I have ordered the lamb, which was a little gamy not a good thing, but it was pretty good, we had cheesecake for dessert, which was not bad, I usually get the rice and kebab, which is very good. I think that Crimson is slightly overpriced, but it still has a pretty good vibe and the people behind the counter are really nice. It gets crowded although most of people are pretty friendly when you're sitting outside so I'd say it's a pretty good experience and the food's not bad, it's pretty good

First time visiting this location. We enjoyed our experience at the one on Broadway. We ordered 8 ground beef kabob and 8 chicken kabobs. We waited another 15-20 minutes when we arrived to pickup. This place is so cute. I like the cool neutral colors and decorations. We got our order and took it home to enjoy. Everyone loved the chicken. The beef however was either undercooked (still raw in the middle) or charred and burnt but cooked on the inside. We tried reheating it up and it turned out to be rubbery. Babaganush was good.

Well, that was half an hour of my life that I can't get back. I ordered the chicken Shawarma wrap. 23 long minutes later, what arrived was an ice cold mayo and vegetable sandwich. It almost tasted like the cucumbers, etc. were frozen. There was very little chicken. It was a cold, mayo filled disaster. I have never had a wrap like it and I hope I never do again. Employees were aloof and no one seemed like they were managing the place. It was seriously gross. I don't leave that many one star reviews. They are reserved for the worst of the worst. This qualifies.

I've been to this spot many times before and it's always been great but I cannot say the same for tonight's visit. We ordered food to go with a side of fries and extra sauce. We got in the car, checked our bag, and saw no fries and no sauce. Thank god we didn't leave! We went back inside and told the cashier and they gave us the items we were missing. Come to find that the fries were cold and stale... lmao. It felt like the FOH staff were just messing around the entire time too. Service and food were definitely not the same quality I've had in the past which is super disappointing.

A really solid falafel wrap. The portions are quite large and therefore is well priced. I wish the wrap came out a little warmer. The lentil soup was pretty good and babaganoush was tasty. Parking was pretty easy on the side streets. Overall would definitely check this place out.

Chicken was fatty and tasteless, lentil soup was one of the worst soups I've ever had... Falafel was good, the hummus portion was minimal, the pita was flimsy and wet and the rest of the food we ordered, wraps, etc, sides was mediocre at best. So many great Mediterranean places around here. I would go to Soom Soom before here next time.

Updating my review to highlight the salmon plate with rice and french fries. The salmon is always cooked perfectly, delivering a flaky texture and rich flavor with each bite. In addition to the fluffy rice, the French fries are the best side you can pair with your plates. They're crispy, and well-seasoned, and keep you coming back for more. As always, the service was fast and friendly, and the restaurant staff create a memorable experience and provide great recommendations/suggestions. In addition to Persian teas, iced drinks, and lattes, Crimson offers soft drinks and lemonades that are crisp and refreshing. Love this place and looking forward to my next visit.

Expensive and food -- falafel -- was tasteless. 85% bread. They couldn't figure how to add something small without another surcharge when the sandwich was already almost $20.

This review is written with full understanding that times have changed, "affordable/reasonable" is subjective, and that costs everywhere have increased. On that note, let me get the elephant I've invited into the room out of the way: This is a casual dining spot. Walk up, place an order, it is brought to the table. Drink refills are offered on the teas but you need to get up to get them. In fewer words, this is not a full service restaurant. However, the prices might have you believe otherwise. Average prices are $18 - regardless of whether a salad, wrap or plate. Drinks around $4. Moving on, we visited for a late lunch, and the spot offered a clean and bright space for dining indoors, with tables available outside as well. Parking was easy in the back parking lot - but you need to know that the property management company has a parking lot enforcement person who is a little too trigger happy to place a warning note on your car that parking is for patrons of the property and limited to 2 hours. I should have taken a picture of the notice before throwing it out, but I called the property management company to confirm that Crimson is considered part of their property and that parking in the lot is ok. If you are parking on the street, pay attention to the meters because SM parking enforcement is known for being ticket happy, and sadly, another patron dining while we were had a significantly more expensive lunch than the rest of the group they were with! Price aside, the food was delicious! The portions were solid and filling. This was a first time visit, otherwise, I think it's entirely possible to order a wrap with 2 side and be able to split the plate evenly and still have both people feel satisfied. (If like me you are price conscious - I HIGHLY recommend splitting plates!) I liked that the BBQ sauce was not so heavily poured that the flavor of the chicken would have been missed. However, on the pasta broccoli pesto salad, it could have been more evenly mixed before serving in the bowl. The pasta was at the bottom, the pesto at the top and the coverage was uneven. And even though this is not a full service spot, the team was exceptionally friendly and deserve credit for going above and beyond. Case in point is that they saw the parking enforcement and quickly ran around trying to find out if the car about to be ticketed belonged to a patron AND ran out to add quarters to the meter to try to save the ticket from happening. These days you are seeing people in similar jobs who you can tell don't want to be at work and don't care about anything...the staff here did not have that attitude. Knowing what I now know about this spot, I would definitely be inclined to visit again, ordering slightly differently to make the meal more affordable.

I ordered the white meat chicken wrap. It was packed with chicken, hummus, greens, and a garlic sauce. It was delicious! I had the grilled vegetables on the side that consisted of yellow squash, onions, red peppers, and yellow peppers, which were also fantastic. I also had a side of hummus with pita bread. It was extremely smooth, creamy, and flavorful with paprika on top. The service was fantastic! I witnessed them deal with a customer that was extremely rude. Everything here is cooked fresh to order, so it will be a bit of time before you get your food. it is well worth the wait. The restaurant is very clean and modern looking. There is ample street parking around the area. I will be back!

The plate is "served with rice, pita bread, choice of sides, and sauce" But then every side costs extra????? Wtf????? You need to remove "choice of sides" and put "add sides" instead of "choice of sides REQUIRED" or served WITH choice of sides. Nah mofo. It's "you can add sides for extra charge".

I ordered the Filet Mignon Wrap but I got a wrap filled with lettuce and almost no meat, and when I finally did get to the meat it tasted like cardboard, no flavor, plain... for the price you would think they are making something better then this... I've had $10 dollar wraps that are tastier then this, save your money... will not be ordering from this place ever again. Filet Mignon Wrap

I was so looking forward to the food in the great reviews but was sooo disappointed. I. especially asked for juicy beef kebobs. They came burnt. The tabbouleh was tasteless. The lavish was very old, dry and cardboard corners. The rice, a wonderful staple of Persian food, did not appear to me to be basmati. it seemed left too long on the burner. I ordered grilled tomatoes for an extra price and got one tomato cut in half. They are not cheap For the same money I will get Kebabs but Faraj, Flame or Panini Kebabs, all very good and consumer pleasing.

Crimson, your Mediterranean was Mediterrane-UM? Met with a terribly inhospitable staff, guy with tattoos and a lady with scars on her chest made us feel immediately unwelcome. Before even asking for a menu, they told us that we had to order by 830 or we would not be served for "here" although they closed at 9PM. Asked for a modification on my chicken wrap which was not fulfilled. My friend waited 45 min for a chicken wrap which was forgotten. Jesus, get a manager on duty. HORRIBLE. Everyone literally hates working here. Suggestion to the owners: getting in some secret diner/ shopper people through krostcpas.com to get a good review on how this restaurant is actually run...

This review is for customer service. I called in an order yesterday, was told it would be ready in 20 minutes. The person on the phone repeated the order back to me twice. Order was actually ready around 35 minutes. Got home to discover what 1/5 plates I took home was wrong. The person could not eat what I brought home and driving back to get a new order at 6 pm would have taken at least half an hour in traffic. I called to inform them of this error to ask for a credit or refund as I had to find another dinner solution and was told the manager was unavailable but would call me back the next morning latest. I left my name and number, never got contacted. Waiting a little bit longer and one wrong dish isn't normally a big deal but they missed a customer service opportunity here to rectify the situation. Don't promise follow up and then fail to deliver when you mess up.

This was one of my go to spots in LA, great spot for filling and fresh Mediterranean food. I always would get the vegetarian platter with Falafel. Their garlic sauce is so fluffy and very tasty and the falafel is crispy and fresh. I also really loved the way the rice was cooked with herbs and butter. The serving size is large so would recommend splitting the platter with someone if you are not very hungry or taking the rest to go.

Why you have the cool Santa Monica breeze along with a prime location for people watching Food was great, beef cooked well, rice fluffy, dolma nicely done and the star was the Arnold Palmer I say go and order anything and oh don't forget the Rose sauce !!!! Well done Crimson you have a customer for life

I ordered to go from here for the first time and enjoyed my meal. I don't typically eat Mediterranean food but my friend suggested this place and I went ahead and ordered the #4 Ground sirloin kebab with two sides, baba ganoush and broccoli salad, and garlic and rose sauces ($17.50). The ground sirloin kebabs were actually quite moist and very delicious. I enjoyed the sauces and the sides along with the rice. I preferred the garlic sauce over the rose. The baba ghanoush was so good and I still think about it.

This review is based on the input from a group of four guests that ordered four different dishes. Overall we were all satisfied with our meals. We ordered the chicken kabob, filet mignon kabob, Falafel and Grilled Salmon plates which were all flavorful, and well portioned. The only issue I had was that I felt the Filet mignon was overcooked, but that's because I'm used to eating my steaks medium rare. The service was fast and the staff was helpful when recommending some of the sides to accompany our main dish. Regarding the ambiance of the place, for the most part the place was clean. The only issue was the bathroom cleanliness, and the ambient music volume level.

It's really difficult to understand. I've been through this so many times with you - I've called, I've overlooked forgotten items, wrong items, but the one thing we've all been asking for since 2020 is SEALED BAGS. I mean how hard is it to put some staples or stickers on the top of the delivery bag. You've agreed when I called and asked, and have always assured me that it's the policy; yet, every time, yep every time, the bag comes delivered wide open. You've made a change in charging for the sides - no longer included but a couple dollars for any side. AND raising the prices overall - I understand, inflation affects us all - BUT are three staples in the top of the delivery bag too much to ask? C'mon, you can EASILY do better. why don't you? You're food is real good, but you just don't care - gonna go back to other Med places.

I will be gracious and leave this with a 3 star ranking, but more as a disappointing 3 minus. I had been craving Mediterranean food, and I may be still craving it. A simple steak kabob plate (5 cubes of beef, rice, some pita, and some hummus) with a can of diet coke came to $23. For that price, it should be expected to dazzle. It did not. My "filet mignon" cubes had a "meat" (but not beef flavor), and was sadly under, or "un," seasoned. Either it was frozen, or they are stretching the definition of what qualifies as filet mignon quality beef. Not tasty at all. The rice had a lot of flavor, but the hummus had a copious amount of "red liquid" (paprika mixed with olive oil???) that ruined a solid texture hummus should have. The pita tasted store bought. Sorry...after replaying the meal in my head, even though my sister loved her chicken wrap, my personal experience is bringing it down to a 2. DEFINITELY not worth the price in any way, shape, or form.

SO yummy omg. Portions were so large and quality of meat was so good. Got the lamb which was our favorite! Also got beef kabob. Loved the bab ganoush and rice that came with the plate. Strawberry lemonade, chai tea, and honey coffee were are very good. Loved everything!!

Disappointing Experience. Waiting 30 minutes for a tiny 6-inch chicken kebab wrap was frustrating. Charging $1 extra for a tablespoon of hummus felt insulting. The wrap lacked chicken, and the small fattoush bread struggled to hold it together despite its diminutive size. With a glass of lemonade, the whole unsatisfying experience cost a whopping $22. Disappointing portions, high prices, and subpar quality. You'll be far better of making it at home.

Gotta give a big shoutout to Crimson's catering service. We ordered bunches of food from them for an informal pre-wedding dinner get-together for 35 people. The food was delivered on time, abundant and delicious. Pedro and everyone else were super nice, so helpful in getting the food set up, and were just really a pleasure to deal with. They were also really attentive to making sure there was food for meat lovers (those filet kabobs were delicious), fish and chicken eaters (more tasty kebobs), vegetarians (pretty much all the appetizers, and falafels with tasty sauces), and folks with serious gluten concerns (pretty much everything was gluten-free except for the pitas, and salad with bow-tie pasta which they helpfully packaged separately). We got many compliments on the food, and their catering made sure the party was a hit.

Crimson is my go to clean, mostly healthy lunch for work meetings or work celebrations types. There is something here for everyone, beef, salmon, chicken, vegan options. I have never dined in but parking is a little tough. I've picked up and I've had it delivered more times than I can count. My go tos are the crimson salad (which is huge) but it's tossed and it doesn't keep well, or I get the salmon plate or dark chicken plate. The rice is perfect, the fries are to die for! Do not skip out on an order of fries, and at $1 per side (when buying a meal) you can't lose! Also tried the mini greek salad today- nice refreshing side! I typically also get a black iced tea and there's doesn't disappoint. Took off a star because sometimes the meat is cooked at different levels and for the price it should be consistent. See my salmon a bit charred, had to eat around it.

I ordered a salmon plate with grilled veggies, lentil soup, rice and garlic sauce via uber eats because they had amazing ratings. The rice is under cooked and hard, veggies are great, salmon smells spoiled and is dry as well as lacks a flavor, the lentil soup is a huge disappointment. I will not order here again. I don't recommend especially for take out but maybe my taste buds could vary from yours. The delivery process via uber eats was great and smooth

I have been here more times that I can count. In the past the food was consistently good, served in a timely manner, with an efficient staff. Unfortunately, for the last few months the food is inconsistent, sometimes it's good the way it used to be , but most of the time now, something goes wrong, a hair in the food , foods comes out cold , sweet potato fries come out soggy. Today, was probably the worst. Sunday 9/15/24: we got here at around 5:45pm, the entire kitchen staff was sitting all along the bar stools Eating a meal they cooked there in the restaurant for themselves , I know because I asked , as the food was completely different than anything on the menu,they must have been celebrating something. Our food took at least double the time it usually takes to come out, sadly the salmon my husband and I each ordered came out cool , not warm, not hot and it had a funky taste, honestly, it tasted like old fish, maybe they are sourcing from somewhere new to save money, or it was actually old. We've been here many times, actually to both locations many times. The sweet potato fries were really soggy too. I don't like to leave bad reviews, but because this is a place I frequent, at least weekly (now in the past) I do hope the owner will see this review and figure this out. There is always a whole new staff in the front. One of the cooks is always sitting outside eating, at least I have seen him every single time I'm here. He's always on a FaceTime call speaking extremely loudly, we've had to move away from him just to eat peacefully. I'm actually bummed, this was one of my weekly go to's, also, the bathrooms are always extremely disgustingly filthy lately.

Ordered lamb because they were out of sirloin. On top of being more expensive there was barely any meat and they cooked it to a crisp. They definitely don't know how to cook it here. The lentil soup was partially undercooked but had good flavor The baba ghanoush was good Waste of $25. This was not a good meal

We love ordering from Crimson specifically for their Mediterranean Salad with white chicken, Kale Caesar, and their french fries. The Mediterranean Salad has a great dressing and is chock full of veggies. I like the Kale Caesar, but always ask for the dressing on the side to avoid it from being over dressed or drenched. The star of the show is for sure their french fries. Not sure what seasoning they use on it, but they are always good--even when they're cold! Their rice is yummy if you're in the mood for rice and meats/veggies. We've tried a variety of different protein and menu options, and have always come right back to these three things. Oh, if you go into the restaurant, I recommend trying their sweet treats. They're sadly not available via DoorDash.

4 employees. Only one cook. 3 employees. texting and filling door dash. We ordered in. 30 minutes later, after 5 door dash orders were filled, they still hadn't started our order. We were the only customers in the Resteraunt. They are not staffed for dine in in weekdays. It was lunch time. Wasted the entire break and the order was not complete. Do not eat here.​​
