Delicious food and big plates! The owner is really nice. He and his staff provides great customer service. My husband and I went once and we are now hooked on their food. Filet mignon kabob and shawarna kabob are yummy plates!!
December 2024
This place is about as hit or miss a restaurant there is. Literally, every other time I've eaten here its been kind of bad. When it's good, it's really good. That's what makes me go back. But when it's bad, the meat is burned, the rice is hard and the "dining room" is hot. Never seems to be air conditioned. There's no water. I think they just are too cheap to give you a free cup.

I had almost given up on frequenting this restaurant because of the employee turn over rate, and lack of customer service in recent years, but I’m glad I gave it another chance today. Chad and Fadi provided excellent customer service, were ultra friendly, and as if that weren’t enough, my chicken shawarma wrap was probably the best I’ve had to date in Orange County! Thank you so much Chad and Fadi, my family, and I will keep being loyal customers because of you!
