“If you're reading reviews trying to see if this place is good just do yourself a favor and place an order. The quality of food is amazing, everything always tastes fresh and the service is excellent. I cannot recommend Pita Paradise enough.“
“My sister-in-law invited me to Sababa falafel shop for my first time today. I am visiting from Oregon. I can honestly say in my last two weeks of eating out every day this was the best meal I've had since I've been to California. The staff was super helpful and friendly. The design of the restaurant was very modern with a feel of the Middle East. I would fly back just for another bite of their amazing Mediterranean cuisine.“
“It was recommended and was my first time trying this place. No regrets! Food - I ordered a grilled cheese bowl. It comes with 4 pieces of grilled sliced cheese, two types of seasoned rice, hummus and salad. It was a perfect size for me. Salad was crunchy, everything tasted freshly prepared and delicious! Service - I can't ask better! I received friendly, welcoming and perfect service! I'm so glad that I tried this place out. I'll definitely come back again and this place is highly recommended to everyone. There are 2 other locations as well, just to mention. It's really worth trying, if you haven't tried yet.“
“Second time at Kareem's, and the taste just stays golden! Ordered the Falafel entree meal with a side of yellow rice and French fries, and also the Plant based Fat Kid (yes that's literally the name) with an order of Fried Cauliflower. The falafels stayed extremely warm the whole visit, crispy while soft on the inside. The rice portion was massive with leftovers for the next day. And the French fries were seasoned just right to with a perfect crunch that I couldn't get enough of. The Plant Based Fat Kid meal is literally what it's meant to do: satisfy a hungry vegan or someone wanting to eat healthier without jeopardizing the indulge. The quinoa and hummus are worth it in this meal alongside the aforementioned crispy warm falafels. For the seating, there indoor and outdoor, adorned with lovely greenery and tables showcasing the restaurants reviews from the news. And the restaurant wouldn't be what it is without all the amazing staff. They're very welcoming that makes you feel like family. One of the owners of the place, Nesrine aka the Falafel Queen, took my order and was there was a shortage of grape leafs for one of the other meals I order, she kindly gave me an extra falafel! Looking forward for my third and ongoing visits!“
“Their grilled vegetables are snapping! Love their green sauce (not the Mexican one and I think it’s called chimichurri or something like that), it goes really well with the grilled chicken and vegetables we ordered. Love the hummus and yogurt, salad and the dressing. Clean and tidy. Friendly staff. The owner/chief who was with us patiently help us out with the choices for the bowl and very passionate about delivering friendly service. Definitely will visit again! Very healthy options too!Vegetarian options: Grilled vegetables, salad, hummus, corn, tomatoes and cucumber toppings, vegetarian sauce and salad dressing“
“Forn Al Hara has been a delightful experience. The fusion of cheese, meat, za’atar and sujuk in their pies creates a harmonious blend of flavors that tantalize the taste buds and send me back to Egypt. The crust is flaky, and the fillings are generously packed, offering a satisfying combination of textures. The unique selection of savory pies distinguishes this place, making it a savory haven for those craving a Mediterranean style pies.“
“Love this place! The food is always great and the quantity for the price is more than fair, in my opinion. My wife and I eat here once or twice a month, sometimes more. The staff is super friendly as well. I highly recommend and if you live nearby, definitely give them a shot.“
“I tried this place for lunch today. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the restaurant. The menu has good variety and the prices were reasonable. I ordered a shaved beef and lamb wrap, which was delicious! The serving size was a footlong size, so I brought home half for another meal. I will definitely go back again.“
“5/5 service, 4/5 food, 4.5/5 value It was my first time here and the new female employee (I didn't catch her name) was really helpful and friendly with explaining the different sauces and options. I got the doner kebab rice plate with chicken/beef and garlic sauce and "warm butter tomato sauce with turkish name". The meat was tender but not that flavorful, probably to better pair with the many sauce options. Salad was freshly mixed and crispy except for the parts touching the rice. It'd be nice if they could separate it somehow to avoid warm, soggy lettuce in some places. Portion sizes and quality are about fair for the price, but the yelp check in hummus is huge which makes it a great value imo. Interior and bathroom are clean and well maintained. Overall, the flavor was good though not great, but the service and value bring it up a star.“
“It was my first of going there for lunch with my friends . There are variety of foods you can choose such as Hummus , eggplants , grilled kebab , pizza , grilled veggies and lots of salads . All of them fresh , flavorful and tasty . Highly “

“Yo, this food was absolutely amazing! My friend and I couldn’t stop talking about how delicious it was the whole time. The food was hot, and fresh, but that bread. That bread is so fluffy, light, and tasty! I love this place! One of the best spots!“
“It's all about food! My family and I enjoyed a delightful iftar at Al Baraka, where the food was delightful. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for serving such delicious dishes. The highlight of our experience was when the chef/cook personally visited each table, inquiring about the quality of the food. When it comes to recommending a dish, they're all good. Her warm hospitality and the genuine smile she wore, despite the long hours of cooking, left a lasting impression on us. We will undoubtedly come back. ?️?“

We step in the restaurant then we ask it's a take out then we look at the menu then we decided to order the chicken breast kabobs come with roasted vegetable,hummus,rice pilaf and a pita bread. To took away while because everything is made fresh daily at the restaurant.When our meal real we left and headed home but the aroma from food amazing and also we got a new car scent from the food. I open the container and food looks so good but the taste incredible good so much flavors in the chicken breast kabobs season good cook perfect all the spices seal in chicken while cooking. The hummus was good then I try the rice pilaf also good then roasted vegetable very good then use the pita bread to complete the meal. The garlic spead was good but little bit strong flavor but my wife say it was little bit strong for her.We enjoy the food we need to come back again.“
“THE KABOBS ARE SO GOOD!!! I just had the chicken Kabob plate with hummus and greek salad! Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection. My whole family couldnt stop talking about how great everything tasted (kids got the Philly cheese sandwiches and hubby got the Gyro plate). I cant wait to come back!“
“We love Adana Grill! The generous portions of exquisitely seasoned tender meats and fresh savory sides offer texture and flavors that compliment perfectly. Whether creamy or crunchy , roasted or pickled there is something for everyone here. We often start with the crispy Cheese rolls or Kibbeh. The house special Adana Kebab is excellent, and chicken and beef kebabs are some of our favorites. Don’t forget to finish your meal with Turkish tea and sweet treats of baklava and Turkish delight. Beautiful photography and lively music complete the casual atmosphere. Every meal we have here, or take home , we end saying, “That was so delicious and satisfying. I am so happy”!Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly Great for family, date, friends group or just solo mealWheelchair accessibility: Easy roll up to tables for 1-“
“Don't judge a book by its cover. With that being said, you can easily pass up this hole-in-the-wall Mediterranean place because, in all honesty, it doesn't look appealing from the exterior and is a little dated inside. But you will be surprised to find that their food is delicious. I had the platter which comes with all the meats and hubby had the lamb shank. He was very impressed with the tenderness of the lamb. He did not detect any gaminess or strong smell of lamb. Overall, I highly recommend this place.“
“What a gem hidden inside of a corner liquor store!Popped into here for lunch with my dad (a syrian man, born and immigrated, so he knows his arabic food).I had the chicken shish tawook plate, he had the falafel "tacos"Both items were excellent. The value was high, the service was friendly... and if I didn't mention it the food was great.Ambiance was kind of funny being in a liquor store to order, but i've had great food in all kinds of gas stations.. so why not?“
“In my time in the Greater LA area, I've stuck with trying mostly Asian eateries as those are typically the spots I feel the most comfortable with. But with the diverse food offerings in the Rowland Heights area in particular, I felt inclined to try something new. With that said, a friend recommended me to try Halal Guys after having previous experiences enjoying halal meats.For this experience, I ordered Halal Guys off of Uber Eats on a Monday night to avoid the traffic on the 60 and chose to try their Beef and Chicken Combo Platter which was around 14 dollars before tax. And from that point, I waited for about 30-40 minutes for my food to arrive at my place. Upon arrival, the food was bagged in layers which kept the food warm which was a nice touch.Opening the bag, each item was given in a foil pan with a plastic lid which helped keep the food inside warm without making the food soggy. And with that, it made receiving the food that much more impressionable. Opening the lid, I was quite surprised by the amount of portion given inside. About 70% of the bowl was filled with large quantities of beef and chicken. Because of this, the dish was meat dominated and ended up being quite filling. The tomatoes, lettuce, and four pieces of pita bread took up the remaining area and prevented the dish from tasting too meaty. For last, the rice that layered the bottom was given in good portion too: not too starchy, and not too scarce. In all, the large quantity given was well worth the expenditure at 14 dollars in the Rowland Heights area. There was so much given, in fact, that the single combo lasted two meals! Price to portion ratio? Very good!The taste of the food was also very impressive! Starting off, the turmeric and cumin-seasoned rice was quite light in texture and was seasoned generously. This allowed the flavor profile of the rice to give the rest of the items in the dish a baseline to work off of. For next, the lettuce and tomatoes tasted fresh, just like you would imagine them to taste: watery, crunchy, and a tad sweet. As for the pita, the texture was soft yet dry, which helped to absorb the moisture from the added white sauce and hot sauce. Furthermore, the bread interior had a hint of what I identified as olive oil which helped the bread taste a bit doughy and subtly salty. As for the meats, the chicken was my favorite of the two as the pieces inside were lightly seasoned with black pepper which tasted heavenly with the flavor of the rice. The chicken's texture was very soft despite the fact it was fully cooked, making each piece melt in the mouth. Although the beef was good as well, it was more on the dry side and tasted much heavier. This could be in part because the meat was sliced thinner, causing the meat to dry out faster and for seasoning to dominate over the amount of area well on each piece.The dish was fine by itself. But including the packaged white sauce, I found the overall taste even more memorable. Tasting like a lighter ranch, each component of the dish was able to attain a greater cohesive texture and creamy taste. Achieving a balance like this is very difficult when you add sauce to a dish, leaving me to crave more of their famous large packets of white. On the other hand, I found the hot sauce to be too spicy to the point that it dominated over any texture or flavor of the food. On a scale of 1-10, I'd say the spice level was close to a 6. Definitely eat some pita to counter the spice should your spice tolerance be low.For this experience with Halal Guys, I would argue Halal Guys deserves a 5 star rating hands down. The portion size was very large for the price compared to most other eateries of this kind and restaurants in this area in general. For the price, the quality was definitely there, having better meat quality than many places that charge almost double the price. Although I found the beef was over-seasoned and on the dry side, it's not to say it was bad by any means. For the next time I return though, I would opt for Chicken Platter instead. In all though, great portion of“
“It was terrible. From the time we walked in it was like what are you doing here. It took them forever to bring a menu & even water it was as if they didn't want us there. Then the waitress trick us to order this meal for 2 people which cost us almost $80. which we split the bill. The manager didn't help at all because we call her to the table. We were the only black people in the place.“
“Fresh, clean, pleasant atmosphere, delicious. If you're looking for a meal that is clean and not full of grease this spot has you covered. It's refreshing and tasty. The cheesecake is delicious. would recommend to anyone and everyone. Staff is on point direct customer service and very descriptive in the items offered. I had the beef with all the offerings of toppings over rice and also opted for some humus will be back to try the other items in the future. The signature sauce is also a great addition to the meal. Putting everything into one conveniently packed bowl. To summarize check it out.“
“We Love this place as it’s reasonable prices and the salads are amazingly great. We love the red cabbage and cucumbers in yougart also best hummus. The Rice is amazingly delicious also. Wish I wasn’t diabetic I’d have eaten another pita hahaha we love the Lamb they give good size portion for two kebabs about 8 large pieces of lamb made medium well and very great falafelsParking: Big strip mall parking most people getting to go. We always have no problem parking the lot must have 40 spots and not busy strip mall this Resturant is the main place for the whole strip mallKid-friendliness: We didn’t see children but sure they love the place“
“I came in here for a snack and found the interior to be a delightful surprise - how charming! The brightly colored painted walls and lights made it so bright, cheery, warm, and welcoming. The service here was focused, professional, and kind. I loved how our food was brought out on a charming tray and our server removed each individual item with care and patience. It was a quaint experience to end our night with. I was also surprised at the culinary experience. We did not order much, as it was only meant to be a snack. I felt that they went above and beyond to complete our dining experience. The food felt very homemade in the best way possible - it was homey and comforting. The bread that covered the spinach pie (which was way larger than I was expecting) was fluffy, filling, warm, and just out of this world. The ideal bread experience! I am personally not a fan of the chicken shawarma here - it was reminiscent of street food/the Halal guys in the sense that it was more boiled meat than shawarma meat.. but the garlic sauce was uhhhmazing, as was the hot sauce, which was spicy with a hint of a sweet aftertaste. I am not a huge fan of soda, but if you have not tried Vimto, it is a MUST try. It complemented our food so well and I was beyond satisfied with this purchase. The food here was not exceptional, but I would give this experience overall 5 stars.“
“We finally got to try this place with legendary roots in New York. The food, service, and atmosphere were all pretty good. We had the small combo plate with rice, vegetables and choices of proteins. It was a delicious and balanced lunch.We have a young puppy so we appreciate the outdoor seating area.Parking: There are plenty of free parking at this large shopping center.“
“The place was really nice inside and the area “outside” had this ceiling warmers that make the area cozy and nice. The service was fast, friendly, welcoming and courteous. What I like the most is that they don’t add the typical suggested tip percentage to the bill, for a place this nice and a service this good I’m actually surprised.The food was really good, tender beef, chicken and the salmon as well; Big proportions and tasty crunchy panini bread.We didn’t get to go inside or use the bathrooms but the next time we’ll do just out of curiosity lol. They serve wine, beers and many variety of alcoholic drinks, but we didn’t try any tho. The hot chocolate, I have to say tho, was not quite hot but warm enough, although for me, a hot chocolate has to definitely be HOT ?, by that is not any reason to not give this place 5 well deserved stars;, especially because of the service, really good service.Recommended ??“
“Tabouli salad varies greatly from vendor to vendor. This one at the Kabob Shop seems perfection to me! Just the right ratio of parsley, onion, grain, and lemon. Mmmm!And the chickpea salad is right next to it in perfection.Both perfect paring with the saffron chicken kabob“
“Sooooo good!! Making Baklava at home can be fun sometimes but to have a spot close by to get your fix is lovely! The parking lot can be a bit chaotic but I park further out and it's easier. The women working there are sooooo nice and they even let us have some samples as we were choosing! It is all personal preference but we definitely prefer the pistachio over the walnut pieces and the little rectangles were our favorite. We also grabbed a couple of items that were bigger and they had cheese in them. They were very good but a little greasy. We have been here before and we will continue to come back! Thank you for sharing your delicious pastries with us!!“
“This is a great place to eat at. We come from Utah, every time we come into town we stop by 1 or 2 times. The lady that was working Thursday night she went out of her way to help us even though they were about to close. Food is amazing-humus, share an and chicken tawook.“
“Had the pleasure of doing an Iftar here with some friends. All you can eat buffet style, with various koftes, rice, spreads, potato dishes, stuffed grape leaves, whole lamb legs. Huge dessert spread top with qatayif. The chicken dishes were a little dry, but the overall quality and variety were great.“
“Ordering food online at Panini Kabob Grill is super easy! They have yummy dishes like Spicy Prawn Linguine and Combo Kabob, just the right size for one person. And if you pick up your order, you save $20 compared to getting it delivered by Doordash. So, let’s go enjoy some tasty Mediterranean food at Panini Kabob Grill.“

“I am traveling for work and a colleague brought me here for dinner. I was impressed with the quality and flavor of the tzatziki and chicken kabobs. The portion size was quite large for the price and enough for 2 people. The staff was very kind and attentive. Definitely will be back.“
“This place was amazing! Deliciously fresh food, great service, and ambiance was casual. We were treated like family by the owner and enjoyed hearing his story of how he opened up the restaurant. We will definitely come back when we visit La Mirada again.“
