Jenny was very friendly and professional, and made the whole experience smooth and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Oh my God I've never seen such hospitality. Many stuff on the house. Extremely kind people. Clean place including their bathroom. Reasonable prices. Very delicious authentic Arabic food. We tried the location in Fullerton/Brea area and today we're in Long Beach. Both are excellent but honestly I would give this one a little bit more credit for their customer service. Thank you so much, guys and see you soon“

“I love the Salmon bowl! I’m attracted to the Kids eat free Mon-Thursday. I like the kids play area. It’s inside or outside. I will be back for many terrific reasons!“

“First time here and what a delicious surprise. Ordered a Mediterranean chicken Doner Wrap and it was great. Decent portion, the combination of ingredients plus the garlic aioli sauce made my day.
And also the servers were so attentive too.
Highly recommended!“

“This terrific restaurant has been my go-to choice for Mediterranean food in the Whittier-La Mirada area for years. Their plates are pretty to look at and filling. Today my wife and I split a kofta plate and a lamb pita sandwich. The kofta in a particular was wonderfully spiced and tender. Though we did not order it today, they have the best falafel. They also do a great job with large catering orders. We've used them for parties in the past, and our guests always came away happy“

“I never thought vegan food would be so yummy! I got the potato salad and the "favorite dish" of the super nice young man who owns the business. I would definitely recommend it!!!“

“Food is consistently good, service is great, had the chicken kebab and Barramundi plate, both were excellent. Will be back!“

“My family went out and had a great experience. I had a chicken shawarma plate and it tasted very good. The portions are a decent size and we have leftovers for tomorrow. We also had walnut baclava and it was very good. Not only was the food fantastic but the atmosphere was also great. The owner was very nice and took care of our needs during our visit. Definitely would recommend this place.“

“If you haven’t been to Cava yet, let me save you the suspense. From the moment you walk in, the ingredients look fresh, and the entire team moves with purpose and professionalism. You can tell right away they take pride in what they do and that starts at the top with Stavo.

Stavo was so sweet, friendly, and overall amazing. I absolutely loved his personality! You can tell he genuinely cares about both the people he works with and every single guest who walks through the door.

Now let me talk about something that surprised me.

I have never tried their Mint Cucumber drink before because I simply do not like anything minty. Ever! Stavo suggested I give it a try. I asked him directly, “Is it minty?” He confidently told me it wasn’t overpowering and that it’s actually one of their top drinks. And let me just say he did not lie!!!!

The Mint Cucumber was divine. So refreshing. Light, crisp, and perfectly balanced. It wasn’t overwhelmingly minty at all just clean and cooling in the best way. Thank you for that suggestion, Stavo. You converted me!

And while we’re here, if you haven’t had their Pita Chips, you are absolutely missing out. They are the BEST. Perfectly crisp, lightly salted, and dangerously addictive. Make sure you get them when they’re fresh and come right out that’s when they’re at their peak. Trust me on this one.

The food is consistently amazing fresh greens, flavorful proteins, creamy hummus, vibrant toppings everything tastes thoughtfully prepared. But what truly makes this location stand out is the experience. The teamwork. The hospitality. The leadership.

Five stars simply don’t feel like enough. 👏🏾“

“Absolutely fantastic food!“

“The Best of Mediterranean“

“Delicious and amazing service!“

“Great ambiance and amazing food. I had a lot of food… falafel, spicy hummus, kafta kabob, tzatziki loaded with veggies, cheese balls, and baklava. All so delicious and fresh. I even loved the fresh pita and dipping sauce that was complimentary. From the manager and many servers, everyone was pleasant and friendly throughout my time there. I went during happy hour so the specials were great during that time. I’m definitely returning to this Mediterranean restaurant for sure. I loved it.“

“Food was excellent. You can taste the quality of ingredients and I mean everything from the tomatoes to the rice was delicious. The tortilla had a bit of a burnt taste to it. Would love to see them upgrade it to something with a little more rise but the wrap portion was massive! 2 burritos in one. Amazing customer service, they go out of their way to serve customers…they get it. Will be back!“

“Amazing place and great people! The taste of the foods were impeccable. We went near the closing time and unfortunately the food served was cold. When I told them about it, they made a new one! Shows how well they care for their customers. Will definitely go back soon. Their Jerusalem bread+chicken shwarma is to die for 😁😁😁“

“generous portions and very patient and kind staff! and the food is great too!“

“I got the strawberry banana shake with plant based protein and a couple add-ons (I forgot what they were) and a side of electrolytes before I went to the gym. Everything was great and I'd go back without question, because it's one of very few health conscious smoothie places on Google maps that tends to my high cholesterol and high blood pressure.“

“This is a food truck with several tables available if you want to eat there or you can take the food to go. The food is fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful. I LOVE this place.“

“My boyfriend and I had a car issue so we decided to grab lunch randomly from this restaurant and we were not disappointed. it looks like a family business and everyone involved is super lovely and they make amazing food. My boyfriend got a beef wrap and I got a chicken Shawarma wrap. I have never had that quality of chicken Shawarma in my life. The spices and flavors were amazing and overall we had a super nice lunch. Highly recommend stopping by and trying their food. We will definitely be back the next time we are in the area.“

“Favorite spot to eat Mediterranean food! Food is always delicious and environment is always clean. Vanesa C., is always super friendly and welcoming every time I’m there! She has great customer service and communication :) I always come back to this location!“

“I usually order online because I like to just grab my food and go. I work near the La Habra location, but I’m almost always disappointed there—they’re pretty stingy with the portions and my bowl is never exactly what I order.

The Brea location is completely different. Every bowl I’ve ordered has been a 10/10 with generous portions, fresh ingredients, and great consistency. I’d much rather stick to the Brea location because I know I’m getting a great meal every time!“

“🥰 love the salmon plate!!!“

“Delicious food! We loved it !“

“We love love your restaurant!! You have the best grilled chicken ever!! We dine here about twice a month. We love Paris she is a fantastic server. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience every time. ❤️“

“Issac is absolutely wonderful with a wonderful smile ❤️ He helped me with my grandma on understanding the menu & making suggestions on her choices. My mom who got food from the restaurant next door & has never been here, even said she was coming back because she liked Isaac's spirit.“

“We stopped by for a quick dinner, and everything we ordered was delicious. The food was flavorful and had a homemade feeling to it. We got a side of hummus & pita (surprised at how reasonably priced this was!). I got chicken shawarma plate with cabbage salad & tzatziki, and my husband got the kefta plate. Everything was so good! It’s small place, more for a quick bite or take out. Will definitely be back! They offer family size orders also.“

“First time eating here. The food was fire! So fresh and delicious. The girl taking orders was very helpful and answered all of my questions. I ordered a build your own bowl. My base was French fries and Romaine salad. I got feta cheese to make feta fries. In my salad I kept all of the toppings it comes with from tomatoes, cucumber, pickled onions (the BEST here), and more. I added cilantro jalapeno humus, Caesar dressing on the side, kalamata olives, feta cheese, jalapeño, red onions and pita crumbles. For Protein I got the Chicken Shawarma and added extra protein-Shrimp. The shrimp was the star of the show. They were big, plump, deveined, grilled and seasoned to perfection! It also came with a thick, soft pita. One of my friends ordered a shawarma chicken wrap and it was huge. 2 other friends ordered the plate. The plate only comes with the protein and 2 selections and they got rice and veggies with a pita. The bowl and wrap are the best options.
I gave the atmosphere a 3 because the seats are hard seats and it’s not too warm and comfy but the food is worth it. I’m also glad they have Coke brand and also Poppi can drinks and bottled sparkling water.“

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

“We ordered this takeout. I must say, even with a 15 minute drive home, the food was delicious. The food was very, very tasty and cooked to perfection. It was a little pricey but worth it.“

“We love love your restaurant!! You have the best grilled chicken ever!! We dine here about twice a month. We love Paris she is a fantastic server. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience every time. ❤️“

“I eat breakfast once a week on average. The staff is great, always pleasant, great customer service. The food is good, I always order the one 12 breakfast. Can sub potatoes for a salad if wanted. Only one complaint having to do with restaurant next door. While trying to enjoy my breakfast outdoors, next door is being mopped with Fabuloso cleaner. Totally ruined my breakfast. On another occasion I sat close to that area and a plastic dumpster with trash was being wheeled by me. Not the greatest atmosphere unfortunately.“

“DISCLAIMER***I ate half my food because the smell was amazing to know how delicious it is!

Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic middle Eastern sharwarma 🙌💕✨ thank you Kimo for sharing your delicious home cooking with us. It is truly an honor 🙏“

“The BEST pita chips and hummus!“

“We ordered catering from The Green Olive for our Lab Christmas lunch and had a wonderful experience. We spoke directly with the owner, who was extremely kind, professional, and accommodating throughout the process. The food quality and quantity were outstanding truly a 10 out of 10. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal, and it was perfectly prepared and presented. We will definitely be returning to The Green Olive for future events and highly recommend them.“

“We LOVE George’s for a quick lunch, nice dinner, or catering a party! They have been there for me for all my dining or party needs. They never disappoint. Both the food and the service is outstanding.“

“Yes and yes! Great menu! Will be back!“

“Best Turkish food that is easy flavorful consistent and never misses. I love this place“

“good and healthy food and very delicious too.“

“We arrived earlier than the food truck and almost missed them, but luckily right as we were looking for dinner alternatives they pulled in! Absolutely delicious, we ordered the 24" chicken shawarma meal with extra pickles. The chicken was super delicious, and the fries really hit the spot. Highly recommend!“

“Tried out your Cerritos location, I lived in LA almost 3years and food especially the kebab wrap was the best by far and I have tried different kebab place’s before in LA. One of the best Kebab place in America, the lamb was moist and very tasty with great flavors, the combination of the hummus, salad, fries combined with the lamb was delicious, the fresh flat bread was soft and crispy on the outside. Add the garlic yogurt sauce wow your tastebuds explodes in your mouth, the food was very lite and not heavy like most kebab place so they got the right balance by using the flat bread and not pita bread that most place use on the wrap Well done this place remind me of a place back home in New Zealand. I give The Kebab shop in Cerritos 10/10 Highly Recommend this place to my friends and family and different locations in America. Will go again and try something different on the menu.“
