CSUN’s diverse campus community is also reflected in its surrounding food restaurants. From middle eastern food to Korean dishes, people may even find themselves overwhelmed with how many options there are off campus. Here are five suggestions to get you going:
1. Waffle Love
9411 Reseda Blvd.
Start the day with a delicious breakfast from Waffle Love, a restaurant dedicated to the craft of Belgian-style waffles. Try some of their signature dishes, such as The Churro Waffle or Nutella Love. Coffee is complementary!
2. Falafel Palace
9255 Reseda Blvd
For lunch, some people may want to head down to this place, also known as Gyro. Choose from a variety of Middle Eastern dishes, Shawarma Pita or Chicken Kabob. They also offer vegan options.
3. Get Shaved
9255 Reseda Blvd
To battle the summer heat, stay cool with some shaved ice. However, this small outdoor lounge also offers ice cream, cookie sandwiches, and shakes. Perfect for a small fresh snack.
4. A&W Seafood Restaurant
9306 Reseda Blvd
For dinner, some people may be in the mood for lobster, shrimp or crab. They also serve dishes such as chow mein, noodles, and chicken egg rolls if your friends are not seafood fans.
5. Barclay’s Coffee & Tea
8976 Tampa Ave

After a long day, it’s time for a peaceful study session and if people are looking for a local coffee shop, then this place is the perfect fit. It’s the furthest place from campus in this list, but it’s worth the extra traveling for their signature drinks like the mocha borgia or the lavender vanilla latte. The place offers free wi-fi.
