“generous portions and very patient and kind staff! and the food is great too!“

“Un buen servicio y la comida rica“

“The food was amazing! We ordered the foul, falafel, and mansaf. It came with pickles, pita, and extra sauce for the mansaf. The Foul was creamy and lemony which made a great dip for the pita and falafel. The falafel was so fresh you could taste the herby goodness and every bite was crunchy. The mansaf… I’ve never had it before and it was so good! The lamb was perfectly cooked! Any my hubby doesn’t like lamb but loved this dish. The rice was flavorful and buttery with the toasted almonds adding a nutty, crunchy texture to the dish. And the sauce to pour over? Just divine. This was a last minute lunch pick and I’m glad we picked it. I’m looking forward to coming in another day to try another one of their specials.“

“Great and Tasty Halal Food in town.“

“Perfect food to have to have“

“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! ✨“

“Good portions and good food and reasonable prices with friendly service“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 ♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This is a food truck with several tables available if you want to eat there or you can take the food to go. The food is fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful. I LOVE this place.“

“I went here a few days ago for the first time and the food was delicious! Great portion sizes, the waitress was very nice, and the spices on the kabob were perfect, so so good. And it didnt take too long to get our food. One of the better kabob places ive been to in the greater LA area in terms of taste! Definitley going back again when im around huntington!“

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

“Absolutely fantastic food!“

“I highly recommend that you stop to eat here whenever you can. Amazing five star food. Staff is amazing, welcoming and friendly and helpful. Amazingly clean restaurant too. You will not be disappointed unless you pass them by and don't stop in.“

“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.“

“The Kebab Shop is conveniently located in a shipping area near Trader Joe's with ample parking. Ordering at the counter was a snap and the staff was very professional and friendly helping us with our first visit. We decided to try one of their wraps with lamb and steak. After ordering, the staff invited to try some of their choices of yogurt topping. It was a short wait at our table and then our name was called.

The wrap was good sized and filled with lots of meat. I added dill yogurt topping and took a bite; mm mm, so good! The combination of the topping, lamb and fresh veggies were fantastic.

I really enjoyed it and can't wait to go back.“

“Great workers great food 10/10“

“As a Turkish person who has lived in the U.S. for over 20 years, I can honestly say this is some of the most authentic Turkish food I've had here. The staff is warm and welcoming, the service is excellent. If you're looking for genuine Turkish cuisine, I highly recommend this place.“

“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!
3. The staff was very friendly and timely with my order! It came out after 10 mins!
Note: There is no restroom available for customers!

“Nice ambient clean and delicious food“

“this is the best place in the US, in the past 25yrs we finally find a place has the best taste we were raised on.. very fresh, it was ordered for shipping, we didn't have to add any syrup, we just heated up for a little and I can say the neighborhood not only our house smelled knafeh.. thank you so much, we tried the hareseh also very fresh and tasty... can't wait to try the Helbeh and Warbat.. 😍😍😍“

“Delicious food! We loved it !“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great dinner, our server was excellent! Loved the guitarist.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Overall, I had a good experience at Abu Omar Halal. The service was excellent, friendly, fast, and deserving of 5/5.

The shawarma itself was good, but there are two areas that could make a big difference. The garlic sauce was decent (3/5), but it could be richer and more flavorful. The biggest disappointment was the pickles (0/5). I highly recommend making the pickles in-house using an authentic Mediterranean recipe instead of the current ones.

With a better garlic sauce and authentic homemade pickles, the shawarma would be on another level. I hope they consider these improvements because the service and overall quality already provide a strong foundation.“

“muy buena atención de Natal ~ Brasil 👍“

“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! 😋👍“

“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“

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

“Pretty good, but kind of overrated.“

“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!“

“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.“
