And also the servers were so attentive too.
Highly recommended!“

“Shout out to Baran Mediterranean restaurant. We had a superbowl/ 50th birthday party yesterday and everything was literally perfect. Food/staff/ decorations/ cake, everything was perfect. There's nothing I would change or do differently. We had a party of 80 and everyone has been texting today saying how good the food was. Go try them out, you won't regret it. Owners are pretty amazing too, super friendly and down to earth. Thank you Baran!!!!❤️“

“Un buen servicio y la comida rica“

“Hussam, the owner, went above and beyond with his generous service — truly appreciated.

One of the best shawarmas I’ve tried. The menu is simple and focused, but has everything you need to enjoy authentic Mediterranean shawarma. Great flavor, great service, and definitely worth coming back for.“

“I never thought vegan food would be so yummy! I got the potato salad and the "favorite dish" of the super nice young man who owns the business. I would definitely recommend it!!!“

“In love with this restaurant 🤤🤤🤤“

“The Best of Mediterranean“

“The food was INCREDIBLE! Very large portions and fresh, healthy choices for all ages. We will definitely come here regularly after our first visit!“

“This is our go-to place for great Mediterranean style food. Great food, and friendly employees, especially Cailyn and Jonathan! I miss the beef 'kafka' and kale salad, but the seasoned beef/lamb combo and the new salads are great too.
Keep it up.“

“I got the strawberry banana shake with plant based protein and a couple add-ons (I forgot what they were) and a side of electrolytes before I went to the gym. Everything was great and I'd go back without question, because it's one of very few health conscious smoothie places on Google maps that tends to my high cholesterol and high blood pressure.“

“Good food and good service“

“This terrific restaurant has been my go-to choice for Mediterranean food in the Whittier-La Mirada area for years. Their plates are pretty to look at and filling. Today my wife and I split a kofta plate and a lamb pita sandwich. The kofta in a particular was wonderfully spiced and tender. Though we did not order it today, they have the best falafel. They also do a great job with large catering orders. We've used them for parties in the past, and our guests always came away happy“

“I usually order online because I like to just grab my food and go. I work near the La Habra location, but I’m almost always disappointed there—they’re pretty stingy with the portions and my bowl is never exactly what I order.

The Brea location is completely different. Every bowl I’ve ordered has been a 10/10 with generous portions, fresh ingredients, and great consistency. I’d much rather stick to the Brea location because I know I’m getting a great meal every time!“

“Great place and healthy food . Portion is big too“

“🥰 love the salmon plate!!!“

“Delicious food! We loved it !“

“This is actually our favorite restaurant. The food is always perfectly fresh and flavorful, and the owners are incredibly kind and friendly. Their falafel is the best I’ve ever had, and my husband LOVES the steak. The care that the owners put into their meals and service is evident, and it is a delight to be one of their customers. So grateful we stumbled upon this hidden gem.“

“we are from Alaska so we maybe fresh fish snobs... but this was absolutely delish, fast, and priced great. highly recommend so glad we stumbled upon ot!“

“I had such a great experience at Hani Kitchens! The food was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. You can really tell they put care into the quality and preparation of everything. The portions were great too, and everything tasted so fresh. The service was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely a hidden gem in Anaheim and a place I would recommend to anyone looking for good Mediterranean food. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Best Turkish food that is easy flavorful consistent and never misses. I love this place“

“We arrived earlier than the food truck and almost missed them, but luckily right as we were looking for dinner alternatives they pulled in! Absolutely delicious, we ordered the 24" chicken shawarma meal with extra pickles. The chicken was super delicious, and the fries really hit the spot. Highly recommend!“

“We ordered catering from The Green Olive for our Lab Christmas lunch and had a wonderful experience. We spoke directly with the owner, who was extremely kind, professional, and accommodating throughout the process. The food quality and quantity were outstanding truly a 10 out of 10. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal, and it was perfectly prepared and presented. We will definitely be returning to The Green Olive for future events and highly recommend them.“

“todo muy rico, excelente trato y no tuve que esperar tanto 😋“

“It was really goooooooood☺️“

“We ordered the spicy hummus, garlic fries, beef shawarma, babakenush?, and cauliflower. My friend saw the baclava and had to try it. So we started with desser. The pistachio was very crispy and chewy and was my friends favorite. The walnut was sweet and chewy which was my favorite. Everything was absolutely delicious! The spicy hummus had a little kick at the beginning but as we ate we didn't taste the kick anymore. The cauliflower is lightly fried and so freaking delicious! I ate it by itself or with some hummus. My friend ate it with the babakanush and some cauliflower sauce and was in love. I tried her babakanush. I don't like eggplant but this was really delicious! Had a lovely garlic flavor that was slightly addicting. The garlic fries was just fries sprinkled with garlic powder but dipped it in the hummus and it was good. The pitas were really good too. I could've eaten more if I wasn't so full. But the beef shawarma was freaking AMAZING!!!!! We both said this was the best Mediterranean food we've ever had. I said no tomatoes to my beef shawarma which I'm glad I did. The flavor was absolutely amazing without it. Definitely 10/10 no complaints at all. And service was awesome too! So kind, friendly, and funny. I can't wait to come back again!“

“The BEST pita chips and hummus!“

“So good 😊 5 stars definitely recommend“

“Great food and the staff ….. awesome!“

“Love this place, we try to go and have breakfast every Sunday.“

“Love the food, great service. Super sweet staff. They gave my sister a free cup to drink whatever she wanted. 🤍

Delicious, and good portioned food. Plus the desert is extra yummy. They even have dubai chocolate!“

“Great food. Very Happy I stopped there for dinner. I will be going back there again soon.“

“Great environment, classy entertainment and the food is very delicious with reasonable prices. And, when it comes to their service it’s outstanding“

“The Anaheim location is a must visit anytime I’m in Southern California (yes, I will drive out of my way to come to this specific location).

the food, the staff, the atmosphere, it feels like your local spot even if you’re not a local.

for anyone who hasn’t had Zankou’s before my tried and true recommendations:

- Tri Trip Shawarma Plate with hummus, basmati rice and garden salad (or Tabbouleh if you don’t order on the side).
- Multiple side orders of Falafel
- Garlic & Tahini
- lots of pita“

“We enjoyed our dinner at the Paradise Garden Grill because of the atmosphere and service. Quesadilla was delicious and worth the money! The tacos and tri-tip steak burrito (misleading since it’s vegan lol) were a bust and wouldn’t get again.“

“K Grill Kabob has the best beef and chicken dishes. Their rice is so tasty that you don’t need any butter. I order from here regularly and thoroughly enjoy all I order each time. I have been a fan of Persian cuisine since I was a kid and K Grill Kabob is the best Persian restaurant in all of Southern California. You should try their great dishes. I know you will enjoy it!“

“Great workers great food 10/10“

“Recommend the chicken and beef kabob plate. The meat was so tender and juicy. Everything exceptional that accompanied the plate including rice, salad, hummus, and pita bread. Found new local spot. They do serve wine and beer in case you may ask. Another wonderful quality was the owner’s and staff were so kind and asked several times how the food was and were very polite.“
