This is my first time visiting this family owned and operated family restaurant and it was an amazing experience.

Al Awael Restaurant is a hidden gem and an exceptional Middle Eastern restaurant in East County. The food is truly fantastic, delicious, fresh, authentic, and full of rich flavor. Specific praised items include the kabob, chicken shawarma sandwiches, chicken kabobs, hummus, and jajeek, though some note the beef kabobs can be dry. The menu has many choices and portions are very generous.
The ambiance is beautiful and welcoming, with a very nice, clean, and well-lit interior featuring a lot of white marble and gold. The atmosphere is perfect for a relaxing meal. Service is exceptional, amazing, and great, described as 10 out of 10, warm, attentive, and genuinely caring, with staff checking in periodically. The restaurant is family-owned, and you can feel the passion and pride in the hospitality. It is highly recommended for an authentic and memorable dining experience.
