“Had an outstanding experience at Al Baraka Restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of authentic flavor. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and the service was fast despite how busy it was. Every dish we tried was excellent, especially the grilled items and fresh bread. Truly one of the best Middle Eastern dining experiences in Anaheim. Highly recommended — definitely a 5-star restaurant!“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Saffron Grill! The outdoor patio is absolutely adorable — such a cozy and relaxing space to enjoy a meal.

The service was truly exceptional. William was incredibly polite, attentive, and thoughtful throughout my visit. He made sure my water was always refilled, brought extra sauce without me even having to ask, and checked in just the right amount to make sure everything was perfect.

I also really appreciated that they allowed me to take my time and enjoy my meal on the patio without feeling rushed — it made the whole experience feel even more welcoming and comfortable.

The food was absolutely delicious and tasted very authentic. You can tell there’s real care put into both the flavors and presentation.

Highly recommend — I will definitely be coming back! ✨“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I visited Papa K in California and it was such a great experience! The Egyptian food is absolutely delicious – authentic, flavorful, and feels just like home. 😋 The portions are very generous, and the prices are really affordable, which makes it even better. The service was excellent; the staff were so kind, welcoming, and always smiling, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for real Egyptian cuisine. I’ll definitely be back! ♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ زرت مطعم Papa K في كاليفورنيا وكانت تجربة أكثر من رائعة! الأكل المصري عندهم لذيذ جدًا – طعمه أصيل ومليان نكهات وكأنك في مصر بالظبط. 😋 كمان كميات الأكل كبيرة جدًا والأسعار مناسبة وفي متناول اليد، وده بيخلي التجربة أحلى وأحلى. الخدمة ممتازة؛ الموظفين في منتهى اللطف والترحاب، ودايمًا بيستقبلوا بابتسامة، وده بيخلي الجو دافي ومريح. بجد أنصح أي حد عايز يجرب الأكل المصري الأصيل إنه يزور المكان، وأنا أكيد هرجع تاني ♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I was blown away by the incredible flavors at this restaurant! The Persian cuisine here is absolutely top-notch, and honestly, I couldn't believe how delicious every single dish was. Bravo to the chef for bringing such authentic and mouthwatering food to Huntington Beach“

“Made a last minute decision stop at this tiny place (after an appointment at Kaiser down the street) and was VERY pleasantly surprised! It was DELICIOUS! The air-fried falafel was UNIQUE and perfectly crunchy on the outside! It's a MUST try and I'll definitely be back.“

“Awesome food and great service. Atmosphere is what one would expect a strip mall food joint to be. Garlic paste seemed to be house made but the harissa seemed to be sambal oulek (an Asian chili sauce) everything else is really really good, especially the rice.“

“Great workers great food 10/10“

“Very friendly service and the girl at the register was really sweet. The food was very good. I ordered soup and lahmacun and both were delicious. The only small issue was the wait time it took a little longer than expected for simple things like soup and lahmacun but overall everything was good.“

“1. The wrap was well-crafted with lots of flavor! The Knafeh was an amazing dessert!
2. The spot has chill casual vibes! The interior is cozy!

“Issac is absolutely wonderful with a wonderful smile ❤️ He helped me with my grandma on understanding the menu & making suggestions on her choices. My mom who got food from the restaurant next door & has never been here, even said she was coming back because she liked Isaac's spirit.“

“Cristina helped me navigate the menu as it was my first time ordering here. She was incredibly kind and helpful. Very clean and welcoming environment and my meal was delicious. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate and it did not disappoint. I will absolutely be back 💯💕“

“Excellent Excellent Excellent….. i am from dubai been in canada for about 10 years, was visiting disneyland here in LA. Found this gem of a place late at night…….last time i had a shawarma like this in 10+ years was back home. Amazing service as well. Thanks guys.“

“Easily one of Orange County's crown jewels. The food, customer service, and overall environment are very welcoming and always incredible. Always consistent excellence. Thank you.“

“Very good kebab wraps ( falafel or beef/lamb with salad. The garlic aioli was pretty delicious and tasty too. Staff are friendly and helpful.“

“Delicious food! We loved it !“

“I'm so used to getting rice that is room temperature at best. So I ordered the chicken shawarma rice bowl, and the first thing I notice is the rice is warm . . . like really warm. I also have a fear of really hot spicy food because it makes me sick. No problem here - the chicken was so delicious, and not "hot" spicy at all. Just a really great flavor. My friend ordered the same, and her reaction was the same. Great flavor, so tasty! The service was great too! But the very best part was the size of the serving - it was such a generous serving, I had to ask for a to-go container, and enjoyed it again later that day. The restaurant was light, bright and clean. I totally recommend this restaurant.“

“The food is quality service is great. I will come back for sure.“

“Tried out your Cerritos location, I lived in LA almost 3years and food especially the kebab wrap was the best by far and I have tried different kebab place’s before in LA. One of the best Kebab place in America, the lamb was moist and very tasty with great flavors, the combination of the hummus, salad, fries combined with the lamb was delicious, the fresh flat bread was soft and crispy on the outside. Add the garlic yogurt sauce wow your tastebuds explodes in your mouth, the food was very lite and not heavy like most kebab place so they got the right balance by using the flat bread and not pita bread that most place use on the wrap Well done this place remind me of a place back home in New Zealand. I give The Kebab shop in Cerritos 10/10 Highly Recommend this place to my friends and family and different locations in America. Will go again and try something different on the menu.“

“Definitely the chicken. I like the choices of sides too. I have to try the rest. I hope we get one in our area, Cypress or Cerritos.“

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

“‏طعم ليس له مثيل على وجه الأرض أطيب الشورما في العالم كلها من لم يجرب شاورما لوكا لم يأكل شاورما من قبل👌👌👌👌👌👌 كل يوم يأتي جديد فاعلم أنه يوجد شاورما على الفحم في شاورما لوكا كن من عشاق الشاورما فسوف تكسب أطيب شاورما في العالم عندما تجرب شاورما لوكا 360 يوم شاورما على الفحم يعني لحق حالك يا كبير جيب العيلة ويلا خلينا نروح على شاورما لوكا أحلى موظفين به وأحلى شباب أحلى معاملة الله يوفقه ويفتحها عليه ويعطيه حتى يرضيه ويبعد عنه كل عيون البشر يا رب العالمين💛💛💛💛💛💛“

“Panini Kabob Grill - Anaheim is a fantastic spot for fresh, flavorful Mediterranean cuisine that never disappoints. From the moment you arrive, the warm and welcoming atmosphere makes you feel right at home.
The food is the real highlight perfectly grilled kabobs, tender and juicy, paired with fragrant rice, fresh salads, and warm pita. Every dish is made with high-quality ingredients, and you can truly taste the freshness in every bite. The variety on the menu ensures there’s something for everyone, whether you’re in the mood for a hearty platter or a lighter option.“

“In the haystack of Anaheim, Sarkis is the needle you look for.

It may take many baklava places to try, but Sarkis is the premier choice. Baklava melts in your mouth, made with tradition, soul, and love, not what you usually get with any other Arabic pastry shop. The workers never hesitate to help, and are always great with recommendations.

Many shops have dry sweets, but Sarkis always packs with favor and moisture. If a blue moon appears to not like Arabic sweets, Sarkis also has Western-style pastries that are just as yummy.“

“Wife got the Falafel plate, I got the 3 Skewer Kabab combination plate“

“I haven't had too many shawarmas in my life but this was so good. It didn't have too many ingredients but it was tasty! The chicken was soft and it was really good in the soft pita. I had to get one the next day somewhere else just because of it lol“

“Pretty good, but kind of overrated.“

“I luv this place! I usually order for pick up. I recommend the Chicken Kabob plate with Basmati rice and a Ceasar salad. Don't forget the pita bread! 😋👍“

“muy buena atención de Natal ~ Brasil 👍“

“Eager to please staff, delicious food (try everything) served family style, loved how the hot water with lemon is served. Perfect for dates family get together’s or whatever else you have going on. Don’t be in a rush. Enjoy the casual vibe.“

“Making the most out of this Covid-19 situation for pick-up. Order was secure, exact, and made fresh. They were backed up as when I first got there they were a little short staffed as The Friday Dinner rush was starting, but they kept their cool, their extra hand showed up, and they did well. Just make yourself visible so they got your name assuming you pre-ordered for pick-up. The short wait will not disappoint. And they definitely didn't forget my white sauce - always my biggest fear as it's truly the essence of this place!“
