Good service, the inside was unique with a lot of interesting designs on the wall. I ordered the cheese boat, along with the lahmajun and the manakish of za'atar and cheese, they were all quite good, and I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a middle eastern breakfast. The tea really topped off the experience of being authentic. Would go again when I'm back in Anaheim.
Perfect Arabic breakfast. We got the breakfast spread that came with eggs, cheese, crème and honey, labneh, manaeesh, veggies, tea and pita. There is a bit of Turkish style to it. The staff was pleasant and the restaurant was very clean and nice. This is basically two restaurants in one? I was a bit confused when I walked in but don't worry the menu is large and all encompassing. Also, a lot of the staff speak arabic so that was nice. I wish I could eat here more often. I'm Palestinian American and I grew up eating breakfast like this. There is nothing in west LA that offers breakfast like this so locals are very fortunate to enjoy this.

Tasty manakish, but, updated. After several times, I arrived at the store after long drive to find out it's closed during opening hours. This is so Disrespectful to his customers.

This is one of my all-time favorites. Their menu is rich and covers both authentic Levantine and Turkish cuisines. The kitchen staff are Turkish/Levantine. Their Manakeesh (Zaatar, Muhammara, Cheese) are sensational. Their foul (Fava beans Arabic breakfast) are super, and the servers (Sari and Waseem) are great at what they do. Very good people, very good restaurant. 10/10 would recommend ??Parking: Very easy to find parkingKid-friendliness: I see families with kids most of the time

The food was OK The service was OK The ambiance was beautiful but cheapened by a t.v. and commercial coca cola and water refrigerator.... Also when I ordered a soda, the server went to the soda refrigerator and placed the bottle on my table as if I was at a cafeteria, no cup, no ice, no straw nothing as if I was at a 711. This is a restaurant with real dishes, real silverware and actual servers that I feel compelled to leave a tip then there needs to be real glassware not a plastic liquor store bottle. It's actually insulting to me as a patron, definitely won't be going back.

Some of the best flatbread pizzas, kabobs, and sides I've ever had. So delicious. And the service is always incredibly nice. I recommend the zaatar and labneh flatbread, but they are all delicious!

The food is top notch! It was very delicious and I enjoyed every bite. Also, the tea is authentic and flavorful. The service was outstanding, and everyone was helpful. The interior of the restaurant is pretty nice, decorated with traditional decor which I loved. Overall, it was a great experience and will definitely be back.
I was there during the grand opening of the original Al Sanabel in the 1990s. I am good friends with the original owner, Nadeem, and my father also worked for Al Sanabel Restaurant for many years. It was always a great place to eat, and a great hang out for locals.Today, I took my family to eat dinner at Al Sanabel for the first time in many years since change of ownership. The new owners are a Syrian family with high standards. One thing I immediately noticed is that the food is rich and as good if not better than anything I've eaten here throughout the past 25 years. This tells me they are making an investment in their future. I will be coming back. They know how to prepare a good Mediterranean dish whether it's Lebanese, Turkish, or Syrian!

You can never go wrong here. I took a photo after we already started to eat them but at least you can see a quick image. The flavors/taste is amazing. Very friendly the minute you walk in and per usual quick service
