Middle Eastern Restaurants near Downey, CA

“I have only had takeout from this restaurant, so it's hard to speak to the atmosphere. But, with how delicious the food has been the two times we have ordered, everything deserves 5 stars! The gyro plate is out of this world! Everything is so fresh and their tzatziki is scrumptious! I always eat an entire order of grape leaves myself! YUM! They have wonderful specials and buy 2 deals, too. :)“

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood“

“Always a good interaction when coming to Z Falafel. The cooks are such nice guys and always so helpful when I may ask about one of their many options on the menu. I always try to switch up my plate when I come here and not once have I had a disappointing meal from this location. Keep going hard!“

“Great Lebanese taco joint. Vegetarian options. Generous portions. Very satisfying.“

“A++++++++++++++++++++++++“

“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 hadn't heard about the golden Skwer before we were looking for a banquet hall for my mom 60th birthday. Reached out and promptly received a call from Carla she was great with giving all the information of everything that is included with booking with them, right off the bat I loved speaking with her she was super friendly even with just speaking over the phone and very nice and friendly when we met to confirm details. everyone in her staff was very friendly. Banquet hall is beautiful in itself, food was amazing we had so many people compliment on how good the food is(mind we we hadn't tried till day of event) we booked because of Carla

We strongly recommend the golden Skewer, couldn't be more happy with the venue and service and FOOD.“

“Everything was delish!! No doubts, all of it was fabulous!!“

“I have been here twice now and BOTH times the food was excellent. I don’t even know which one is my favorite, but you must try the fatoush salad and the mante. Not only is the food amazing but also the service! Quick, kind, and welcoming. I can’t wait to come back!“

“Nice ambient clean and delicious food“

“This is the first iranian restaurant ive been to that doesnt serve kabob. Its so unique, and all their dishes taste so so so good. Its like traditional home-styled dishes. Amazing. They have some modern twists to some stuff like the appetizers. And they have sekanjebin, I loved it (an apple cider vinegar drink - kinda like poppy but better lol). Im going back forsure. P.S. the ambiance is nice with the old-school iranian decorations and plants. The lamb gheimeh is to die for.“

“Build your own gyro!! Yes please!!! Soft warm pita and all your favorite toppings! Lots of sauces to choose from as well!
The place is super clean and the staff is really knowledgeable and fast!
You know I love my gyros so I will definitely be back!!!“

“Absolutely delicious food. Competitive prices, and welcoming atmosphere. The servings were generous; You will not leave here hungry. I highly recommend this establishment and look forward to my next chance to dine here. 👍🏻👍🏻“

“Great experience. Staff was very friendly and I got my take out meal from the time I ordered to the time it was in my hand in <10 min. Food was so good! We got the Meze Plate and shared it between 2 people - Should have gotten 2 orders. Will be back!“

“It was my first time here, the place looked clean. The young lady at the register was super friendly and courteous. I ordered the lamb chop plate as well as the chicken Kabob plate. The lamb chops were very tasty and tender. The ONLY thing was that the rice and lamb chops were very salty. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish my food, it was just too much salt. I'm willing to give this place a second chance only because I love lamb and they are close to me. The pros outweigh the cons and hopefully next time it won't be salty. Will keep you posted“

“Clean, fresh and flavorful food - Cornish hen kabob plate and tabouli salad- was quite a nice surprise and delightful experience nestled in the heart of the Garment district.“

“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.“

“Wonderful Vegan Palestinian Dinning Exprience with Chef Summer We were transported to Middle East, while sitting in the Majlis , the Vibrantly decorated Traditional sitting area, where your served In a style that feels like your being feed by family in their home. Which the Permited kitchen actually is the chefs home adding the extra layer of hospitality, unlike anything else . The from Scratch Dinner experience offered a variety of different cultural foods from Palestine, Summer shared stories with us about her culture , history, and her upbringing. Making the Food so much more special, knowing that is made with love and it's her form of resistance against oppression that she offers to the world . 20% of the proceeds are donated to Palestinian families, who are experiencing extreme hardships due to the Ongoing G3n!cide in Her Homeland. Thank you Chef summer, for welcoming us into your home and feeding us .“

“Absolutely fantastic food!“

“The food is great, we order it often! But the delivery guys ALWAYS REFUSES to come bring our food to our office. Why are we tipping for delivery to not be done properly? It’s so annoying I’ve called the restaurant to bring it up but he literally always makes us go downstairs.“

“What a blessing it was to stop by here. What started as just a day to look for dresses, we were amazed to find this place!

Not only was the food absolutely delicious! But the owner welcomed us with open arms. Everything fresh, and made with love.

Coming from San Diego, it was a treat to be feel like we were “home”. You all have to try this beautiful business! You will savor each and every bite.

God bless you guys <3“

“The Kebab Shop is conveniently located in a shipping area near Trader Joe's with ample parking. Ordering at the counter was a snap and the staff was very professional and friendly helping us with our first visit. We decided to try one of their wraps with lamb and steak. After ordering, the staff invited to try some of their choices of yogurt topping. It was a short wait at our table and then our name was called.

The wrap was good sized and filled with lots of meat. I added dill yogurt topping and took a bite; mm mm, so good! The combination of the topping, lamb and fresh veggies were fantastic.

I really enjoyed it and can't wait to go back.“

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

“The food was really good, and the prices for decent. When we got there, it was only my friend and I. Though as the day progressed a lot of people came and went. The service was excellent and the server as well as what I think could have been the owner or the manager keep coming and asking if there was anything that we needed. I would definitely recommend this place to go and eat.“

“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.“

“Super Deli! 100% recomendado 😋“

“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.“

“The food es excelente!! My first time buying there, definitely worth it!!“

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

“Todo muy rico y caliente 🔥 buen servicio“

“Fabulous food, delicious“

“Es muy rica la comida, la recomiendo mucho“

“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! 😋👍“

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

“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!“
