Love Dune! If you're a local and you haven't been here, you're missing out! My favorite items on the menu are the "Fried Chicken Shawarma Sandwich" and the "Hummus and Fried Chicken Plate," depending on how hungry I am. Regardless, their food is consistently tasty and so good! Their Arnold Palmer is great, refreshing and not too sweet.The staff is always nice and friendly, and the outdoor seating area is laid-back and cozy. Lines and wait times can get pretty long, but the food makes it worth it! Parking can be tricky to find, but there are options around, including in the neighborhood. Personally, I walk here from home, so parking has never been an issue for me. Give this place a try if you're looking for something new and unique!

I always walk past Dune when I'm in Atwater and today I decided to dine here for lunch. Patio seating wasn't super clear and the employees all seem understaffed. I waited for about 15 minutes for a table and then decided to order take out. Literally 2 mins after placing my take out order, a table opened up and the woman who was behind me in line kindly let me take the table. I told the staff I ordered take out but would like to change it for dine in and she did not look happy lol. She let me know that my food would still come as take out but I can dine in. She brought me my sandwich and it was really messy to eat so I waited to flag down an employee to ask for silverware. I made eye contact with an employee and he went straight back into the kitchen.. I got up and asked someone for silverware and she gave me a plastic knife and fork to go with my "take out" food.. I spent an hour eating and not a single person came by to check in on me until I finished eating and packed my own trash into the take out bag to toss myself. The sandwich itself was lacking sauce/flavor and not worth the $20. Tl;dr: food is mid and service is awful. Would not recommend this place.

Overpriced. Chicken dish was really dry. Baklava was a bite sized piece for $6. Probably won't order from here again.

The smoked brisket gyro will bring me back soon. I have been here many times but never tried that. Omg ... it was delicious. Flavorful, mouthwatering sandwich. Had a lovely lunch with my son enjoying his winter break.

I love Dune the movie and this Mediterranean spot located in the Atwater Village area. Their fried chicken blew my mind away! Glendale Avenue has many restaurants and small niche stores, but Dune caught my eye based on the fantastic reviews. They have a window to order food, with plenty of outdoor seating and trash cans. The cashier was very helpful in answering questions about my order. I was hesitant because I was wasn't too hungry, but I ordered the Hummus & Fried Chicken Plate. The chicken didn't have too much batter or oil. It wasn't too heavy on my stomach, and I enjoyed it so much. I ordered the sauces on the side, but the spicy Tahini sauce was excellent. The meal came with house flatbread, which was very filling, pickled turnips/radishes, marinated cabbage & onions, greens, and dill rice. The portions were huge, and the service was excellent; you can't get much better than that. The hummus was buried deep in the food, but I wish they had put more rice on the plate. I paired my meal with their Hibiscus Lemonade, which was as sweet and sour as it should be! I'm 100% coming back if I'm in the area.

Dune is a small restaurant located in Atwater Village offering a modern spin on Mediterranean cuisine, providing excellent food, good service, good vibes, and great value. After a short wait Saturday afternoon we each started with a Cardamom Cold Brew ($6) which was a light, refreshing, and slightly sweetened with oat milk and a cinnamon simple syrup. I had the Hummus & Fried Chicken Plate ($22); the Fried Chicken was excellent, moist, and topped with a delicious tahini and charmoula sauce. Accompanying it was a flatbread which was delicious, if slightly dry, topped with olive oil and spices. Flanking these two were a series of greens, olives, and sumac dill rice. Beneath all of these was a light, creamy hummus worthy of immersing the chicken and bread into, broken only by a welcome bite of pine nuts. My friend had the Hummus & Lamb Plate ($22), which was essentially identical except with several flavorful pieces of lamb which was slightly dry but otherwise delicious.Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, made excellent recommendations, and introduced us to the (new) seating arrangement; rather than ordering from the window, one is seated by the server much like a traditional restaurant. Seating is outdoor only, with tables, chairs, and umbrellas along one end of a T-intersection. It is easy to forget, however, that you are sitting on the street, due to an abundance of greenery shielding you from the bustle of Glendale Blvd. For its small location as a lunch-focused establishment, Dune really makes the most of the footprint it has. The value for food quality is good, perhaps excellent, and appropriate for the location. More savory than Spice, Dune brings excellent food, great value, and a touch of class to the Atwater Universe - check it out! Food: 5/5Service: 4.5/5Ambiance: 4.5/5Value: 4.5/5

Dune was good. They have no inside seating, only outside. Parking is a bit of a nightmare too. But if you're looking for takeout or don't mind eating outside, they had wonderful food. I got the mezz plate & it was enough for 2 people to share. I do think the lamb portion was a bit small, but I digress. Quality was top tier, ingredients are fresh and the taste is delicious.

I think Dune may be my new obsession. As I spend increasing amounts of time in Atwater Village, this spot has quickly become a go-to for their beautiful outdoor seating, kind staff and delicious food. As a vegan, there's plenty of dishes to enjoy here, but the Green Herb Falafel Sandwich is my favorite. It comes loaded with fresh falafel, hummus, pickled veggies and plenty of herbs. The only thing to note is that it is huge, so I always end up having to eat it with a fork and knife. Also, don't forget to pair whatever you order with their Arnold Palmer! The mix of rosemary lemonade and Moroccan mint iced tea is super refreshing. If it's your first time visiting, it's worth mentioning that they only offer outside seating (there's no indoor dining room) and that they're often super busy... but don't let the line deceive you! It typically doesn't take too long to get seated, and the small wait is always worth it for the quality food.
