This is a great spot to grab a healthy meal. I love their kabob plate, their wraps and they have great coffee and tea too. The service is always quick and it is always clean and welcoming.

10% of the meals I eat are from Crimson nowadays. Healthy and delicious. Food: the salmon and chicken kabobs are both excellent. Comes with rice, pita, and sauce, or you can add another side (hummus, baba ganoush, tzatziki, etc) for $2. Strawberry lemonade is excellent. Prices reflect the quality and volume of food you get. I always have some leftovers.

The food here is good. The salmon is perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The salad is tasty and the dressing is a nice compliment. The portions are decent as well. The service is very hit or miss. If you're dining in it becomes pretty apparent the restaurant favors to go orders. Almost every time we've eaten here it's practically empty. Still if you don't mind a quieter spot with consistent food I'd check it out.

Pretty good pretty good! The chicken kabob plate was definitely pretty good and very filling!

Seriously good Mediterranean restaurant! It's all street meter parking, but we were lucky enough to get a spot right outside the door. I love the interior, and that wall sign right by the register too. It's kinda funny and sad at the same time, but it's the perfect table to sit at right under that neon sign if you're breaking up with someone. You'll get it when you walk in:P Amazing meats, really good sides, and great service. I am one of those that really only eats dark meat, so I was pleasantly surprised that they offer both options! I had to try the filet mignon wrap first, and it was so good! I'm gonna have to come back for the dark meat chicken kabobs, cuz I have never seen that offered anywhere else! I'll also have to get more of the sweet potato fries. They were probably the best I've had! Oh and the Persian Latte was so good! I had never had it before, but it's part coffee and part tea. You gotta try it if you never have.

We have been here twice, one time we dined in, and one time we ordered out. Photos below are for when we dined in, which was a nice experience. The ambience is really cool, music was good, and it was fairly empty on a Saturday night since this usually isn't, a type of place a typical person in LA would go on a Saturday night ha ha. Service also great since it wasn't busy. However, I got inspired to write this review from when we were recently just ordered takeout. The prices have went up, as with everything these days, but the sides were severely lacking. The dolme seem they weren't fresh and the cucumber, tomato Shirazi salad, black such flavor. The sandwiches both times were good, but I was really sad to see there was more left to be desired because of the sides this past time I ordered.

The food at Crimson is so good, fresh, and healthy. I would eat here everyday if I could. Very solid Mediterranean option if you're in the Santa Monica area. Plenty of indoor seating and the restaurant is clean and full of sunshine. The staff are really friendly and helpful with menu recommendations. I have had the grilled plates here, which are excellent and very filling. If you are looking to get a good amount of protein for the day or hit your macros, this will do it. The meat is grilled to order so it takes a bit more time to cook, but it is so worth the wait. The chicken thigh kebab is so juicy and the garlic sauce (toum) is to die for. My recommendations for the side are the broccoli salad (I know, very random for a Mediterranean restaurant but trust it is so good) and the babaghanoush. You can't go wrong with any of their side salads though and they don't skimp on the leafy greens! They also have free cucumber water if you dine in.
