“I ordered lunch (delivery) and was blown away with the flavor and variety in my chicken shawarma bowl! I appreciated the variety of toppings offered and selected almost all of them! My only comment is I expect shawarma to have a bit of a crisp on it, instead this was very moist and flavorful (and felt a bit healthier, not as greasy as other places). The meal was well balanced and very flavorful, and the textures were great! I had been once before in person: very clean and the owners are lovely.“
“I recently dined at the restaurant, and I must say, the food was exceptional! Each dish was prepared with care and attention to detail, resulting in flavors that truly delighted the palate. However, what truly stood out to me was the warmth and hospitality of the staff. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with genuine smiles and impeccable service. The people working there seemed passionate about their craft, and it truly reflected in their interactions with the guests. Additionally, the owner was actively involved, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and that guests were well taken care of. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I can't wait to visit again“
“Truly a gem of a restaurant! They always treat their customers right and the food comes out hot and fresh every time. I tried their spicy hummus for the first time, and I think we have a winner! Great for the health conscious and a deal for the price.“
“10/10 - highly recommend. I used Mediterranean Guys for a event I needed catered. I ordered food for 25 for pickup. The two times I called the restaurant I got knowledgeable, friendly people who was able to answer my questions right away. The food was ready when I needed it, all extras were included (plates, utensils, etc), and all staff I worked with were pleasant and very helpful - they gave you the sense that they were on top of things and you could trust them to get your order right. The guests at my event kept complimenting the food - everything was excellent. Thank you Mediterranean Guys!“
“Darya Persian Restaurant in Orange County offers a dining experience that is generally commendable, catering to those who appreciate authentic Persian cuisine. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the Barg and Chicken Kabob, both of which were cooked to perfection, offering a symphony of flavors that delighted the palate. However, it's worth noting that the Koobideh Kabob fell short of expectations. Traditionally known for its tenderness and juiciness, the Koobideh served during my visit was unfortunately not up to the mark in these aspects, and its taste diverged from the traditional flavor profile one would anticipate. Despite this, the overall experience at Darya Persian Restaurant was positive, making it a worthy destination for enthusiasts of Persian cuisine in Orange County.“
“This is the second Panini Kabob Grill I've visited, and like the one in Cerritos, the food was fresh and delicious.The chicken kabob had just the right amount of char without drying out the chicken. The falafel were crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. The chicken pesto panini was great.Prices were fair, the place was clean and the staff was friendly and attentive.“
“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.“
“The service and food are phenomenal! The staff was super helpful and informative when describing sauces and sides. I got the turmeric chicken schwarma and the cilantro pesto chicken schwarma and the flavors just melted in my mouth. I also had the tumeric lemonade and it was the perfect amount of tartness. I even got the baklava and it was so flaky and sweet. Definitely coming here again!“
“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!“
“This is hands-down one of the best places for convenient Mediterranean food that's affordable portion-wise and is quality and delicious. It's a hidden gem and workers are super nice to accommodate you. I really enjoyed the Chicken Kabobs which were decently sized, juicy, and well-seasoned. Hummus pairs well with the falafel. The falafel surprisingly had less of bean/chickpea taste and more cilantro (?)Overall, definitely coming back whenever I'm down for some fresh chicken kabobs with a side of pita. PLUS, they have 2 types of pita breads: white and wheat. I'm also coming back for the wheat pita“
“We ordered the gyro plate with Greek salad, garlic potatoes and humus. Everything was fresh with great flavors. The spicy cilantro was a little bit spicy but had excellent flavor. The service was very friendly and the restaurant was very clean. Would definitely recommend pita pita.“
“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.“
“Sometimes the simplest foods can be the hardest to prepare well, yet Point 11 Kabob accomplishes this and elevates the process to an art form. How to create a perfect dining experience with beef kabob, rice, and a tomato? Using quality ingredients and traditional cooking method help. The meat was superbly seasoned and cooked, and it's full of flavor and never dry. The rice was fluffy and light, but nuanced with fragrant spice and butter. The grilled tomato was so juicy and roasted that it's the best accompaniment to the earthiness of the meat. Even with the takeout order, we were supplied with two packets of sumac to sprinkle on our beef and chicken kabob. We ordered ahead by phone and the chef was just putting on the finishing touches when I arrived. The food was piping hot even after the 18-minute drive home. The dining area was spacious, and there were a few tables outside. Parking was not an issue in this shopping center.“
“I’m from San Diego headed to Beverly Hills and had to stop to charge my Tesla .my mother and I got hungry and saw this place on Google five minute walk away.The whole experience was wonderful. I was greeted by a kind, middle-aged woman and handed a menu. While I was waiting for my order to be prepared. Two little kids ran up to the man in the kitchen and asked if he could open their orange soda for them, the clip for the soda was broken off so he gave them a new one. After watching this all go down in the distance, with a smile on my face, I made eye contact with the guy behind the counter & he offered me an orange soda :).Orange soda is my favorite. Today is my birthday. He didn’t know that.Food came out pretty quick.Was delicious.Easiest five star review of my life.Thank you so much.“
“I wanted my daughter to taste Armenian food like I had growing up, and assumed I'd be driving to Glendale until I found this place on Yelp. We got a lamb and chicken kebab combo plus a bunch of bakery goods to go. Food was delicious, albeit I'm more used to this crispy butter soaked Borek, but theirs was good also.“
“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.“
“Good portion size and flavors. A bit pricey but everything is nowadays. The fries are extra crispy which is fine but not everyone likes it like that. The plates with fries and cheese should be eaten immediately since the cheese tastes thick after about 1 hour.“
“My husband and I came here for lunch. We had been coming here for years before the pandemic. It was our first time back since 2019 and while some things changed the food is still delicious! Bertha helped us take our order. She was very friendly and kind. We ordered a chicken plate with salad, rice and sauces. I didn’t realize that the sauces now come on top of the chicken. Since I ordered a spicy sauce my husband, unfortunately, couldn’t eat it. I spoke to Jacob and he was very understanding and offered us an entirely new plate. He even brought out warm freshly made pita bread. Needless to say, we really enjoyed our lunch. The quality of food, outstanding service and attention to detail for their customers goes above and beyond! We will definitely be coming back soon!“
“Amazing food and service, definitely a must try when in Anaheim, California.excellent service. The food is amazing. A must try when in Anaheim, CA.

“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!“
“Literally, my favorite place to eat. I'm sad that I only recently discovered this gem of a restaurant. Bobby and Soheila are fantastic people. I'd recommend the hummus, best ever. Also, ask about their stews. Their fesenjān will change your life. No hyperbole here, try it.“
“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. ?️?“
“Hidden gem alert. Really great middle eastern food. The beef, chicken, and kofta kebabs were all moist and delicious. The rice fluffy and the baklava is to die for. All reasonably priced and super friendly and sweet service from the family. Highly recommended!“
“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-“
“Food 5*Vibe 5*Service 5*Great spot for fine Mediterranean dining. They have sandwiches, wraps, rice and meat, hummus, even loaded fries options. The meat and flavours of the various dishes are delicious. Their fries are a highlight and a must have with your meal.“
“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?“
“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.“
“Have you ever visited a spot and the first item you ordered was so tasty you never try another item on the menu? The grilled chicken wrap with their green sauce @ The Kebab Shop had that affect with me. I've stopped in four or five times now and that is my go to item (add rice please). Each time the chicken wrap lands at my table I'm amazed it how big it is, I tell myself to be responsible and save half for later...that never happens. I always finish in one seating, so tasty. Yes, the price point is a little spendy. I feel the quality, freshness and serving size more than offset that.“
“This place is the best food for the best price. I've been. There when they are extremely busy and they still bring out the food at its best quality and in a timely manner. I highly recommend going family style if you have more than 2 people in your party as you get the best bang for your buck!“
“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 ??“

“I have been coming to Panini Grill since the mid 2000's. I have been to at least five locations. The quality of every component of every dish is top notch every time. They have an excellent breakfast menu at this location and Park Place. I wish I had taken photos today because there were some gorgeous plates served today for brunch. Their entrees are always great. I have tasted chicken, koobideh, flat iron steak and salmon kabobs and all are great. You can get one chicken and one koobideh with rice and a salad for a reasonable price and it will last you for days. Salmon on top of a salad is also highly recommended. They accommodate large groups and have great service.“
“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!!“
“I ordered some food to go. Got the souvlaki mix which comes with chicken and steak skewers. Both were very good. Also added some pilaf rice which was very tasty. The hummuspita bread and salad was a nice touch. Service is always friendly here and i never had a bad meal here. If you haven't tried this place i highly recommend you do..“
