Open Sesame has been voted a Best of Long Beach winner for the last 14 years! Our Mediterranean fare goes back several thousand years of gastronomical evolution - the spices, ingredients and cooking techniques we use can be traced back to Phoenician, Greek, Arab, Roman and Ottoman traditions. We believe that we are transformed by the life force of the food we eat, that it is an essential component of who we become. We have never compromised the quality and time necessary to translate that understanding into our work. Since 1999 Open Sesame has offered cuisine created from scratch with heart and passion... to nourish and revive memories of the flavors and traditions that we cherish.
