Middle Eastern Restaurants near Huntington Beach, CA

“Food is tasty and authentic. I ordered the beef Soltani to go. Koobideh was well seasoned and so was the barg aka filet mignon.

Salad Shirazi was very tasty and so was the mast mouseer. I would put this place up against Shamshiri any day.

I’ll be back.“

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

“Met girlfriends for lunch here with no expectations, but wow, I will definitely come back, the food was delicious and large portions. I had the most succulent chicken and tried an eggplant appetizer.
My husband got to enjoy as well b/c I brought home leftovers!
The young gal who served us was very nice and knowledgeable of all the Persian foods, and service was fast.
It's quite small inside, sort of a hole in the wall, but what a quaint local eatery!

Parking: We got a spot easily, but may have been lucky.
I imagine it could be challenging at busy times.“

“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. 🔥🥙🥯☕🇹🇷“

“Good portions and good food and reasonable prices with friendly service“

“Great dinner, our server was excellent! Loved the guitarist.“

“Some of the best food you will ever have. Great family owned businesses and also great catering. This is our to go place for authentic Egyptian food.“

“Yes and yes! Great menu! Will be back!“

“This place is a hidden gem! The food is affordable and delicious with good portions. But what stood out the most was the staff, they’re very friendly. I accidentally ordered Tzatziki Salad when I meant Tabbouleh and they gave me a portion anyway. Just very kind family owned vibes here. Would definitely 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’m updating my review due to the soda machine having mold on the soda spouts and black mold in the ice machine dispenser.
I’m editing because I looking on company site to get into contact. And there was no contact button. So here it is. Won’t be eating there until someone reaches out or it’s cleaned. But most likely won’t go 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.“

“Fresh and delicious. Inexpensive if you need to feed a large family. Perfect for the person who like hot sauce. I have seen grown men wiping the sweat off their face with a smile!“
