“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.“

“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..“
“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!“
“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“
“The food was more than perfect. It was our first time trying Kabab Express, we were craving kabab and rice, and we so happy that we tried it.Everything was perfect, delicious and warm fresh bread.Customer service was great.If you are picky about the cleanliness, this is a place that you don’t need to worry about it.We will definitely come back.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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!“
“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!“
“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.“
“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-“
“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.“
“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.“
“Really fresh Mediterranean food! I like the quality of the meat. It's never too heavy. I feel great after eating here. Also, I like the fact that they use paper takeout containers, and not plastic containers. Stephanie was really kind. The staff are always nice here.“
“Lunch is $25.99 plus Hot Tea: $5.90; you only could order 4 dishes at a time and then “going on forever”, however, you should not have left-over, otherwise, a fine, I assumed. A few choices only available for dinner price($32.99). We ordered Skinny Dipping Cow; Karubi In Tokyo; Tried N True(Bulgogi, Tasty); Daa Pae Pork Belly; Surfin Shrimp(each order has 4 pieces); Winnie The Poohs Sn; Eight Firing Arms(spicy octopus, each order has 2 pieces). We enjoyed Bulgogi, shrimp and octopus more than others. Service was good and responsive.“
“The restaurant is the equivalent to Naf Naf Grill in other places, which cannot be found in California. It is located in a small shopping plaza where most businesses are super busy. It makes this one look very quiet in comparison. However the food is surprisingly good. After we ordered from here for the first time, we ordered again the next day.“
“In the urban heartbeat of the city lies a culinary treasure, The Kabob Shop. Since my discovery in 2019, it's been a gastronomic pilgrimage to the flavors of the Mediterranean and Far East. Their shawarma wraps, a personal indulgence, transport one to ancient bazaars with every bite.The Kabob Shop's artistry is unmistakable, from the vibrant tomatoes to the rich hummus, each bite a testament to authenticity. Their menu also celebrates the vegan wanderer, with offerings steeped in tradition.Their beverage fountain tells tales of distant lands, with craft sodas and iced teas reminiscent of exotic adventures. Seeking more than just a meal? The Kabob Shop is a journey, a taste of history and culture on a plate.“
“If there's one place that holds a special spot in my heart (and stomach), it's The Kebab Shop. This gem of a spot has not only been a go-to for delicious lunches at work but also a staple for family meals, weaving its way into our daily lives with its irresistible mixed Lamb and Beef wraps.The secret to their wraps, you ask? It's unequivocally the garlic and dill sauces. These condiments aren't just add-ons; they are the soul of The Kebab Shop experience, elevating every bite into a harmonious blend of flavors that keeps you coming back for more. It's this attention to detail and quality that sets them apart from any other kebab place I've visited.But what truly makes The Kebab Shop shine is its people. The staff here is always awesome and friendly, making each visit feel like a warm welcome home. Their smiles are as consistent as the quality of their food, and in a world that's often too busy, these moments of genuine kindness are a treasure.The loyalty program deserves a shoutout too. It's incredibly rewarding, making each delicious meal a step towards another. This thoughtful touch adds to the many reasons I love frequenting The Kebab Shop.During the challenging times of COVID, The Kebab Shop emerged as a savior with their generous family-size meals. They not only provided comfort through their food but also a sense of support to the community, making it clear that they were more than just a restaurant; they were part of our extended family.All in all, I love this place with all my heart. The Kebab Shop isn't just a restaurant to me; it's a haven of delicious food, warm smiles, and a testament to the power of community support during tough times. Whether for a quick lunch at work or a family dinner, The Kebab Shop delivers not just fantastic meals but also a dose of happiness.For anyone who hasn't had the pleasure, do yourself a favor and visit The Kebab Shop. Whether you're there for the mixed Lamb and Beef wraps, the standout sauces, or the friendly faces, you're in for a treat. It's more than just food; it's an experience — one that I'm grateful to have so close to home.“

“I've always appreciated the consistently good quality of their food. However, I have noticed a decline in the customer service recently.It's disappointing to see this aspect of the restaurant experience not meeting the high standards I've come to “
“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.“
“The best Knafeh on the West coast. We ordered a 16’, the owner prepared it fresh and cooked it for us. We took it home and heated for our guests! It was delicious.While waiting for the Knafeh I ordered a Chai Karak and a hareeseh with pistachio, must try if you haven’t already!“
“I love this shawarma! I have had it when it was a food truck, and now it still tastes great! The place is clean, the portions are big, the sandwiches are loaded and the chicken is moist. The 1 star lost is because I felt it was lacking salt a bit, but it was still enjoyable. The fries are also really good but also lacked salt, but overall one of the best shawarmas in town! I think this place will take off after COVID, especially with hookah and big spaces to sit available!“
“We went here after a night at the beach. I had this before in SF but still wanted to check this one out. I got the combo platter with chicken and beef. I saw some complaints on here about the portions but I'ma a big dude and it was definitely enough for me. My wife got the sandwich and fries. Everything worked out. I would return if in the area.“
“The best part were the fries. Nice and crispy. The hummus was really good and the olives were tasty. The hot sauce is hotter than a typical chili sauce. The white sauce was like a seasoned mayo. The spiced chicken wasn't my favorite but the regular chicken was better.“
