Middle Eastern Restaurants near Cerritos, CA

“Absolutely fantastic food!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Authentic Palestinian food prepared by a lovely Palestinian family. My favorites were the kousa makhshi, which is stuffed zucchinis cooked in a yogurt sauce, and the tabbouleh. Loved the kousa so much, ordered an extra one to take home. The service was incredible and they included complimentary pickled veggies. We drove hours to get here and it was well worth it.“

“Amazing spot with best falafel in USA“

“BEST BEST EVERYTHING!!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Ikram Grill. The food was absolutely perfect — clean, delicious, well-prepared, and served warm just the way it should be. Every bite was full of flavor and clearly made with care and pride. The portions were incredibly generous; there was so much food that we happily took some home with us, and it was just as good later.

The service was beyond perfection. Truly outstanding. The employees were attentive, kind, professional, and welcoming from start to finish. They made us feel genuinely taken care of, not rushed, not overlooked — just appreciated as customers. Anything you could possibly want from an eatery or restaurant, Ikram Grill had it to offer.

This kind of work is not easy. It’s hard work, demanding work, and yet they make it look effortless. That alone speaks volumes about the people behind this place and the standards they hold themselves to. The care, consistency, and effort show in every detail — from the food to the service to the overall experience.

No one asked me to write this review. I’m doing it entirely on my own, and I’m truly happy to do so. Ikram Grill deserves the recognition. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience. I will absolutely be back and will gladly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and exceptional service.“

“Great and Tasty Halal Food in town.“

“I’ve been going there many times, and yesterday I saw a girl on the line that I’d never seen before The amount of respect and kindness she showed me was unbelievable She told me I looked really pretty explained everything to me and made me feel so special Even when my card kept declining she stayed patient talked to me and offered solutions Honestly the way she treated me was amazing and I really hope I get to be helped by her again next time I go and I’m really sad that I didn’t get to know her name but overall she had two braids💕“

“)O( best falafel best babaganoush best tabouli best wraps everrrrrr )O(“

“this is the best place in the US, in the past 25yrs we finally find a place has the best taste we were raised on.. very fresh, it was ordered for shipping, we didn't have to add any syrup, we just heated up for a little and I can say the neighborhood not only our house smelled knafeh.. thank you so much, we tried the hareseh also very fresh and tasty... can't wait to try the Helbeh and Warbat.. 😍😍😍“

“Amazing food and customer service!! Everything is always fresh and delicious.“

“Nice ambient clean and delicious food“

“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.“

“I ordered the Grilled Salmon and it was simply amazing. Everything in that plate was so delicious, kudos to the chef! I was going there for the Shawerma; however, I couldn't resist getting the salmon since I was craving it and they didn't disappoint 😋“

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

“Made a last minute decision stop at this tiny place (after an appointment at Kaiser down the street) and was VERY pleasantly surprised! It was DELICIOUS! The air-fried falafel was UNIQUE and perfectly crunchy on the outside! It's a MUST try and I'll definitely be 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.“

“My wife and I ordered the Mediterranean Bowls. I ordered the chicken schwarma and she ordered the chicken Kabob. Staff was very friendly and even offered us Turkish Tea to taste when we were done with our food. We're not from the area but would definitely eat here again when we're back in the area.“

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

“Very tasty, authentic, good portions, and best of all, made fresh. I tried the tabouli, lahmajun, Adana & chicken kebab combo, kufteh (kibbeh), zaatar manaish, hummus, and knafe. All were great. My favorites were the tabouli, kebabs, knafe, manaish, and hummus.“

“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.“

“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⭐️“

“First time visiting TKS with the family and they did not disappoint. Brian helped us with our order, great service from him and the crew. They have a variety of options for everyone in the crew. Whether you want something light and fresh or a hearty full meal. Fresh made and comfortable environment.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Had a great experience here. Had been wanting to try it for a bit. My wife and I stopped in after a long day and wanted something healthy. My wife got a bowl and i got the super duper wrap. I completely botched the ordering process however Isaac swiftly came over and asked what I meant to order. He was very kind and helpful. Great place, great employees. We will be back.“

“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.“

“Amazing food, nice friendly atmosphere!“

“my favorite marinade and cucumber salad. like Pico de galli but with cucumber🤌“

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

“In the haystack of Anaheim, Sarkis is the needle you look for.

It may take many baklava places to try, but Sarkis is the premier choice. Baklava melts in your mouth, made with tradition, soul, and love, not what you usually get with any other Arabic pastry shop. The workers never hesitate to help, and are always great with recommendations.

Many shops have dry sweets, but Sarkis always packs with favor and moisture. If a blue moon appears to not like Arabic sweets, Sarkis also has Western-style pastries that are just as yummy.“

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

“The food tasted and looked great. Large portions and seemingly fresh ingredients.“

“Wife got the Falafel plate, I got the 3 Skewer Kabab combination plate“

“well good food great service“

“Very generous portions. Got a buy one plate get one plate free on doordash. Food tastes amazing. Chicken was very moist. Tabbouleh was fresh. But the cucumber in the Greek salad didn’t taste washed, could taste the dirt. Just picked them out. But overall, I’ll be returning.“
