Middle Eastern Restaurants near Brea, CA

“I always order food to go from here so I can’t comment on the service or atmosphere, but the food is always good. Favorite is the koobideh, but I’ve also had the chicken kabob, rigatoni Rosa, chicken pesto linguine, chicken pesto panini, and the flat iron shish kabob. Everything is good. The chicken is a little dry, but [I believe] it is white meat, so that is to be expected. The koobideh occasionally comes out with one half of the skewer a little more cooked than the other half. No matter, it’s always delicious as is all the food I’ve tried here so I highly recommend it.“

“Un buen servicio y la comida rica“

“If you are in the area and are looking for something new, fresh, delicious or all of the above please check this small shop out!! 😍 I honestly only noticed it when I started working next door at the smoke shop and let me tell you, I am sure glad I did!!! I get the falafel at least once a week and it’s by far the fluffiest most flavorful falafel i have had ever tried. From the meat, hummus, desserts and side sauces, all their food is made with love. Customer service is wonderful and very welcoming

. Please don’t look past this hidden gem I promise you won’t regret it.“

“Shout out to Baran Mediterranean restaurant. We had a superbowl/ 50th birthday party yesterday and everything was literally perfect. Food/staff/ decorations/ cake, everything was perfect. There's nothing I would change or do differently. We had a party of 80 and everyone has been texting today saying how good the food was. Go try them out, you won't regret it. Owners are pretty amazing too, super friendly and down to earth. Thank you Baran!!!!❤️“

“Easily one of Orange County's crown jewels. The food, customer service, and overall environment are very welcoming and always incredible. Always consistent excellence. Thank you.“

“The food was INCREDIBLE! Very large portions and fresh, healthy choices for all ages. We will definitely come here regularly after our first visit!“

“I came here with my friends and wife for the first time and it was great! I ended up coming back a few more times with some friends and really enjoyed the food. The food was delicious and the service was great. We didn’t wait long for the food to come out.“

“Most welcoming people with delicious food. Couldn’t go wrong with anything on the menu. We tired this place to beat the crowds at Disney land and honestly had a much better and wholesome experience at this restaurant than anything we could have gotten at DL. Thanks for the food and experience. Would love to come here more often but unfortunately we are visiting from the east coast. Highly recommend!!!“

“Very nice place good food“

“Delicious food! We loved it !“

“We ordered the spicy hummus, garlic fries, beef shawarma, babakenush?, and cauliflower. My friend saw the baclava and had to try it. So we started with desser. The pistachio was very crispy and chewy and was my friends favorite. The walnut was sweet and chewy which was my favorite. Everything was absolutely delicious! The spicy hummus had a little kick at the beginning but as we ate we didn't taste the kick anymore. The cauliflower is lightly fried and so freaking delicious! I ate it by itself or with some hummus. My friend ate it with the babakanush and some cauliflower sauce and was in love. I tried her babakanush. I don't like eggplant but this was really delicious! Had a lovely garlic flavor that was slightly addicting. The garlic fries was just fries sprinkled with garlic powder but dipped it in the hummus and it was good. The pitas were really good too. I could've eaten more if I wasn't so full. But the beef shawarma was freaking AMAZING!!!!! We both said this was the best Mediterranean food we've ever had. I said no tomatoes to my beef shawarma which I'm glad I did. The flavor was absolutely amazing without it. Definitely 10/10 no complaints at all. And service was awesome too! So kind, friendly, and funny. I can't wait to come back again!“

“I’m updating my review due to the soda machine having mold on the soda spouts and black mold in the ice machine dispenser.
I’m editing because I looking on company site to get into contact. And there was no contact button. So here it is. Won’t be eating there until someone reaches out or it’s cleaned. But most likely won’t go back.“

“Awesome food and great service. Atmosphere is what one would expect a strip mall food joint to be. Garlic paste seemed to be house made but the harissa seemed to be sambal oulek (an Asian chili sauce) everything else is really really good, especially the rice.“

“It was really goooooooood☺️“

“todo muy rico, excelente trato y no tuve que esperar tanto 😋“

“well good food great service“

“I'm so used to getting rice that is room temperature at best. So I ordered the chicken shawarma rice bowl, and the first thing I notice is the rice is warm . . . like really warm. I also have a fear of really hot spicy food because it makes me sick. No problem here - the chicken was so delicious, and not "hot" spicy at all. Just a really great flavor. My friend ordered the same, and her reaction was the same. Great flavor, so tasty! The service was great too! But the very best part was the size of the serving - it was such a generous serving, I had to ask for a to-go container, and enjoyed it again later that day. The restaurant was light, bright and clean. I totally recommend this restaurant.“

“Excellent Excellent Excellent….. i am from dubai been in canada for about 10 years, was visiting disneyland here in LA. Found this gem of a place late at night…….last time i had a shawarma like this in 10+ years was back home. Amazing service as well. Thanks guys.“

“Hands down one of the best kebabs I’ve ever had! The meat was juicy, full of flavor, and cooked perfectly. Their sauces and sides hit the spot too. Super friendly service and clean setup I’ll definitely be coming back. If you haven’t tried Pennie’s Kebab yet, you’re missing out!“

“really good………………………….!!!“

“The food is quality service is great. I will come back for sure.“

“I love pastries and sweets, I saw this popped up on the map so I had to come by. I don’t know what I ordered because there was no labels. But the lady said this item was her favorite and now it’s my favorite 😉. The baklava was pretty good, the eclair was eeeeh 😬 (pass). I would come back here again.“

“I haven't had too many shawarmas in my life but this was so good. It didn't have too many ingredients but it was tasty! The chicken was soft and it was really good in the soft pita. I had to get one the next day somewhere else just because of it lol“

“muy buena atención de Natal ~ Brasil 👍“

“Eager to please staff, delicious food (try everything) served family style, loved how the hot water with lemon is served. Perfect for dates family get together’s or whatever else you have going on. Don’t be in a rush. Enjoy the casual vibe.“

“Great flavor! Nailed the true authentic Jordanian shawarma. Great job!“
