Middle Eastern Restaurants near Cerritos, CA

“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.“

“Absolutely fantastic food!“

“I luv this place! I usually order for pick up. I recommend the Chicken Kabob plate with Basmati rice and a Ceasar salad. Don't forget the pita bread! 😋👍“

“Making the most out of this Covid-19 situation for pick-up. Order was secure, exact, and made fresh. They were backed up as when I first got there they were a little short staffed as The Friday Dinner rush was starting, but they kept their cool, their extra hand showed up, and they did well. Just make yourself visible so they got your name assuming you pre-ordered for pick-up. The short wait will not disappoint. And they definitely didn't forget my white sauce - always my biggest fear as it's truly the essence of this place!“

“Un buen servicio y la comida rica“

“The best Falafel I have ever had. Perfectly cooked. They offered me a sample before I even ordered. One of the best values for family meals around.“

“Ikram Bakery – Shawarma, Falafel & Sweets That Keep You Coming Back

If you’re in Orange County and craving legit Mediterranean flavors, Ikram Bakery is where it’s at. Their shawarma is juicy, packed with spice, and wrapped in the freshest bread. The falafel is perfectly crispy outside, soft and herby inside—no dry bites here.

Then there’s the baklava—flaky n just the right amount of sweet. Pair it with their simit, a fresh, sesame-crusted Turkish bagel, or a bowl of sütlaç (Turkish rice pudding) if you’re in the mood for something creamy and comforting, suggest always take some to go.

And if you have time? Sit down with a cup of their Turkish coffee—strong, rich, and the perfect way to end your meal. Tried it once, and now I’m a customer for life. 🔥🥙🥯☕🇹🇷“

“This used to be that yogurt place before COVID lol, but anyways...
The food here is amazing! Went for my first time recently and I will go back as a regular. I had the Wrap with chicken and bunch of other stuff in it and it just tasted so flavorful and good amount for the price. Highly recommend if you want mediterranean food nearby.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Bright, airy restaurant that is larger inside than appears from outside. Plenty of parking in the shopping center lot, although you may have to walk a bit when all of the eating places are crowded. Typical SoCal ordering set-up with menu board above the order station. Make your choices, pay, find a table, and wait for your order. You can get your self-serve drink and condiments while you're waiting. Service is generally good with some enthusiastic staff. Food is very good. We shared a chicken schwarma plate with hummus and pita. We added on sides of another hummus and pita. Note that hummus and pita count as 2 sides here. The hummus was good and generous. The pita was grilled and was that lovely fluffy Greek style pita. The schwarma was tender, tasty, juicy, and covered in drippings. I wasn't into spicy, so I got the OG garlic sauce. Deliciously subtle. Prices are reasonable for these days. I noticed another store closer to where we live. Good to know.“

“Delicious turkish kebap (kabob), döner, lahmacun, meze plates, and desserts! And the most important dish of all, iskender kebap ("Alexander kebab" )! My favorite! 😛 Just be careful about the pepper 🌶️ that comes with the iskender... it's spicy 🔥

The sitting area is small but comfortable and they also have some outdoor seating.“

“I had their chicken shawarma, and it was absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with incredible flavor. The portions were generous, and the quality was top-notch. You can really taste the freshness in every bite. The service was great, and the food came out quickly. If you’re craving authentic and flavorful shawarma, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!“

“Very nice place good food“

“Family run restaurant, very generous portions, and tasty food. We ordered the beef kebabs, beef shawarma, and gyro, we made the mistake of ordering additional rice... The portions are so big and there was so much rice we didn't need the additional rice but it was so tasty so we didn't mind it. Even with the current economy and the price going up everywhere, this is one of the more affordable restaurants to feed my family of four.“

“Good food. Very friendly people at along Beach location. 😊“

“They have very friendly staff and the food is fantastic.“

“Amazing food, nice friendly atmosphere!“

“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.“

“well good food great service“

“Went to the mall to do some last minute shopping and my husband came meet me to go to lunch. We were going to go for sushi but he needs the restroom so we walked to the food court to use the restroom when I saw one of the last few restaurants still open in the food court and we decided to go with Mr Shawarma as it smelt so GOOD. The lady behind the counter was very nice. We both ordered the beef kabobs with the hummus and pita bread. The plate came with a bed of rice which the kabobs were on the fresh hummus and a fresh salad grilled tomato and grilled onion. Everything was fresh and so flavorful. The price is not too bad specially when it cost almost $15 at McDonalds for a combo now“

“Very pleasant experience here! From the friendly accommodating staff, to the very delicious well prepared fish, it was a treat!! Best fish I’ve ever had! I look forward to coming back! 5⭐️“

“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.“
