Grillo Kebab | Our Story

Honest Food, One Family's Heart

Grillo is a family-run Egyptian kitchen on Reseda Boulevard where everything — the bread, the sauces, every skewer — is made from scratch, every single day. Come once and you'll understand why Northridge keeps coming back.

The Family Behind the Counter

Abanob and his family opened Grillo to share their Egyptian table with Northridge — not just to run a restaurant. You'll find them here most days, greeting guests by name.

Everything Made from Scratch

Bread baked in-house, sauces made fresh, shawarma carved to order — nothing here comes from a bag or a freezer. That's not a selling point; it's just how this family cooks.

Halal by Conviction

Grillo is proudly Halal-certified — not as a marketing badge, but as a deeply held value. Guests from the Islamic Center of Northridge and across the San Fernando Valley trust every dish on the menu.

A Corner of the Neighborhood

CSUN students, Valley families, day-one regulars — Grillo is the kind of place a community builds its routines around. The door is always open and the portions are always generous.

The Plate Says It All

Charred kebab over saffron rice, a wrap carved fresh off the shawarma — simple food made with real intention. That's the whole story, hot on a plate made just for you.
