Middle Eastern Restaurants near Corona Del Mar, CA

“I have been coming to Panini Grill since the mid 2000's. I have been to at least five locations. The quality of every component of every dish is top notch every time. They have an excellent breakfast menu at this location and Park Place. I wish I had taken photos today because there were some gorgeous plates served today for brunch. Their entrees are always great. I have tasted chicken, koobideh, flat iron steak and salmon kabobs and all are great. You can get one chicken and one koobideh with rice and a salad for a reasonable price and it will last you for days. Salmon on top of a salad is also highly recommended. They accommodate large groups and have great service.“

“I went with a friend and it was our first time in. The food was delicious but I couldn't eat it all. I got full so I took the rest home and offered it to my father who enjoyed it. The place was pretty empty which I was grateful for. Pricing is very good and the place is clean.“

“Better than Luna grill or any corporate chain. Delicious flavor and generous portions. Foot served HOT which really matters to me. Kind staff and good seating. $20 well spent and these days you're paying at least that much and usually get let down. This is my go to spot locally when I want Mediterranean food.“

“I recently dined at the restaurant, and I must say, the food was exceptional! Each dish was prepared with care and attention to detail, resulting in flavors that truly delighted the palate. However, what truly stood out to me was the warmth and hospitality of the staff. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with genuine smiles and impeccable service. The people working there seemed passionate about their craft, and it truly reflected in their interactions with the guests. Additionally, the owner was actively involved, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and that guests were well taken care of. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I can't wait to visit again“

“Sometimes the simplest foods can be the hardest to prepare well, yet Point 11 Kabob accomplishes this and elevates the process to an art form. How to create a perfect dining experience with beef kabob, rice, and a tomato? Using quality ingredients and traditional cooking method help. The meat was superbly seasoned and cooked, and it's full of flavor and never dry. The rice was fluffy and light, but nuanced with fragrant spice and butter. The grilled tomato was so juicy and roasted that it's the best accompaniment to the earthiness of the meat. Even with the takeout order, we were supplied with two packets of sumac to sprinkle on our beef and chicken kabob. We ordered ahead by phone and the chef was just putting on the finishing touches when I arrived. The food was piping hot even after the 18-minute drive home. The dining area was spacious, and there were a few tables outside. Parking was not an issue in this shopping center.“

“We ordered the gyro plate with Greek salad, garlic potatoes and humus. Everything was fresh with great flavors. The spicy cilantro was a little bit spicy but had excellent flavor. The service was very friendly and the restaurant was very clean. Would definitely recommend pita pita.“

“I wanted my daughter to taste Armenian food like I had growing up, and assumed I'd be driving to Glendale until I found this place on Yelp. We got a lamb and chicken kebab combo plus a bunch of bakery goods to go. Food was delicious, albeit I'm more used to this crispy butter soaked Borek, but theirs was good also.“

“Truly a gem of a restaurant! They always treat their customers right and the food comes out hot and fresh every time. I tried their spicy hummus for the first time, and I think we have a winner! Great for the health conscious and a deal for the price.“

“Good portion size and flavors. A bit pricey but everything is nowadays. The fries are extra crispy which is fine but not everyone likes it like that. The plates with fries and cheese should be eaten immediately since the cheese tastes thick after about 1 hour.“

“Literally, my favorite place to eat. I'm sad that I only recently discovered this gem of a restaurant. Bobby and Soheila are fantastic people. I'd recommend the hummus, best ever. Also, ask about their stews. Their fesenjān will change your life. No hyperbole here, try it.“

“Hi everyone therePls visit have A look at once an entire inkabab kurry for the best real taste it's a highly maintained culture aromatic mouth watering I request to enter onceFor the unforgettable memoryI really appreciate the owner mr.mehakriAnd my well wishes you kabab kurry staff for the respective mannaresGod bless youI want to see logo KK all over in UnitedStates“

“This place is the best food for the best price. I've been. There when they are extremely busy and they still bring out the food at its best quality and in a timely manner. I highly recommend going family style if you have more than 2 people in your party as you get the best bang for your buck!“

“Have you ever visited a spot and the first item you ordered was so tasty you never try another item on the menu? The grilled chicken wrap with their green sauce @ The Kebab Shop had that affect with me. I've stopped in four or five times now and that is my go to item (add rice please). Each time the chicken wrap lands at my table I'm amazed it how big it is, I tell myself to be responsible and save half for later...that never happens. I always finish in one seating, so tasty. Yes, the price point is a little spendy. I feel the quality, freshness and serving size more than offset that.“

“Excellent and quick service! My partner and I arrived around 11am on a weekday and there was no wait. I ordered the fries wrap and he got a plate. The portion size is very generous and great for meal prepping. I was planning on saving half for dinner but "accidentally" ate it all because it was so good haha. We were also provided free samples of the kale salad and the chickpea salad. I'll definitely be getting the kale salad in the future! Great ambiance with chill music and clean atmosphere. Bathrooms were very clean as well. Good job on the spotify playlist!“

“Lunch is $25.99 plus Hot Tea: $5.90; you only could order 4 dishes at a time and then “going on forever”, however, you should not have left-over, otherwise, a fine, I assumed. A few choices only available for dinner price($32.99). We ordered Skinny Dipping Cow; Karubi In Tokyo; Tried N True(Bulgogi, Tasty); Daa Pae Pork Belly; Surfin Shrimp(each order has 4 pieces); Winnie The Poohs Sn; Eight Firing Arms(spicy octopus, each order has 2 pieces). We enjoyed Bulgogi, shrimp and octopus more than others. Service was good and responsive.“

“The restaurant is the equivalent to Naf Naf Grill in other places, which cannot be found in California. It is located in a small shopping plaza where most businesses are super busy. It makes this one look very quiet in comparison. However the food is surprisingly good. After we ordered from here for the first time, we ordered again the next day.“

“In the urban heartbeat of the city lies a culinary treasure, The Kabob Shop. Since my discovery in 2019, it's been a gastronomic pilgrimage to the flavors of the Mediterranean and Far East. Their shawarma wraps, a personal indulgence, transport one to ancient bazaars with every bite.The Kabob Shop's artistry is unmistakable, from the vibrant tomatoes to the rich hummus, each bite a testament to authenticity. Their menu also celebrates the vegan wanderer, with offerings steeped in tradition.Their beverage fountain tells tales of distant lands, with craft sodas and iced teas reminiscent of exotic adventures. Seeking more than just a meal? The Kabob Shop is a journey, a taste of history and culture on a plate.“

“My husband and I can't wait to return. Both of our meals were delicious and very filling. I was able to make two meals out of my bowl! We tried the yogurt sauce and cilantro sauce and they were both delicious in their own way. What a gem of a place. I was also really impressed with how well kept it was. One of the employees was cleaning the baseboards. It reminded me that I needed to the same when I got home.“

“I've always appreciated the consistently good quality of their food. However, I have noticed a decline in the customer service recently.It's disappointing to see this aspect of the restaurant experience not meeting the high standards I've come to “

“Darya Persian Restaurant in Orange County offers a dining experience that is generally commendable, catering to those who appreciate authentic Persian cuisine. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the Barg and Chicken Kabob, both of which were cooked to perfection, offering a symphony of flavors that delighted the palate. However, it's worth noting that the Koobideh Kabob fell short of expectations. Traditionally known for its tenderness and juiciness, the Koobideh served during my visit was unfortunately not up to the mark in these aspects, and its taste diverged from the traditional flavor profile one would anticipate. Despite this, the overall experience at Darya Persian Restaurant was positive, making it a worthy destination for enthusiasts of Persian cuisine in Orange County.“

“I didn't snap any photos, I was that hungry. However, the food here is amazing as expected. I love Halal guys in NYC but the line in OC isn't nearly as long which makes it a win! Our food was finished pretty quickly and packed to the rim. I highly recommend Halal guys, they're the real deal. I love the white sauce & Tahini!“

“Been coming here for years for lunch with co-workers. Come here once in a while with my wife for dinner. The place had a kind of Parisian bistro atmosphere in the evenings. There are many Persian delights on the menu, but I come for the Fesengen. Service is always friendly and excellent. Sometimes I call it in and pick it up on my way home to eat at home.“

“I first ate at The Halal Guys on the street in Manhattan and immediately counted it as one of my go to places to eat. The red sauce adds the right kick to the combo platter, which is almost a two-meal entree. Great portions, great flavors, and worth the fair price.“
