    Had a great tome at little Arabia, one of the best Lebanese food places in Southern California, everything we tried was very good and authentic, service was very good. I highly recommend going there, the prices are on the higher side though but definitely worth the quality of food.

    I would recommend this place to anyone who is wanting to try food from Lebanon. I ordered the combo plate,tried the honey drink,their tea pot and took a box of sweets home.That way I could get to try a little of everything that this restaurant has to offer. I look forward to coming back here and bringing my more people with me!

    We stopped by Little Arabia on a late Saturday morning for brunch, and we were not disappointed. We love the traditional Lebanese breakfast of zaatar and cheese pizza pies, and so we took the opportunity while visiting Anaheim. We ordered spinach pies (pasties), a zaatar and cheese pizza pie (half and half) and a zaatar and veggie wrap, which is a zaatar pizza pie wrapped around diced tomatoes, cucumbers and mint leaves (eaten like a sandwich). The food we ordered was outstanding in its flavor and presentation. The spinach pasties had the right balance of tartness from lemon juice, and sweetness from sauteed onions. The pastie crust was crispy on the outside and warm and luscious on the inside. These spinach pasties reminded me of the flavors of my mom's. They were that good! The zaatar pie and wrap were also delicious. The crust was excellent and the toppings had the right proportions. I would definitely order the zaatar & veggie wrap again. Inside Little Arabia is another business that sells crepes and fruit drinks and shakes. So we ordered a choco-fruit crepe for my young son. It consisted of Nutella chocolate-nut spread and slices of fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, pineapple) over 2 warm crepes. It was decadent and delicious! We finished our meal by ordering a strong pot of Turkish coffee and a dozen spinach pasties to go. (Yes, they were that good, and they freeze very well--so why not?) Just pop a few in the toaster oven for 8-10 minutes and you've got a very healthy snack or light meal. I highly recommend you visit Little Arabia for an authentic taste of Lebanon.

    Delicious, authentic food! Lamb was amazing and so tender — the meat fell off the bone easily. The cheese sticks were yummy and very flaky and crispy. I wasn’t a huge fan of the tabouli, but it was nice to have something refreshing with the meal. Only downside was that you have to pay $2 for each water bottle.

    This was my first time traveling to Anaheim. I was on a mission to find good and authentic ethnic food. I stumbled upon this place and it was not only the best meal I had in Anaheim, but the best Lebanese food I’ve ever had!!I’m sure there are other good spots around here in Little Arabia, but it was amazing. I ordered Zataar (amazing), baba ghanoush (even more amazing), and Tawook. The appetizers were my favorite part, but every thing was a 10/10. There were also many options on the menu. The service was great (although it was late and not busy). The portion sizes were perfect, enough food for leftovers. I will travel back to Anaheim just to eat their food again. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for authentic, good Lebanese food. Easily one of my favorite restaurants!

    The food is good but the service is terrible. One waitress was unpleasant as if she was forced to be there.

    One of the best Mediterranean restaurants that make you feel that you’re home again. The taste brought a lot of warm nostalgic memories. We went for breakfast, and ordered fatta, medamas, and fatayer. Everything was so delicious 😋 The staff were very welcoming and friendly. This place will be one of our recommendations to friends and family whenever they visit Anaheim.

    Amazing, amazing amazing !!! I never thought at this day and age that a Lebanese restaurant will blow my mind like that ….. everything was above and beyond even the service which is not common for a Middle Eastern restaurant … keep up the great work guys !!

    The food here is good. Because of the weather and for a sizable family, it’s more attractive to sit outside. Aesthetically, they haven’t done much outside, the floors can use a power wash and the worst part about sitting there is the smokers. It’s the only place in California that I go to where they allow smokers in the same section as non-smokers with children and expect it to be ok. It’s definitely not. The only reason I go here is they actually have better food than most middle eastern restaurants in OC. If they fix these small factions, it would improve the overall experience to everyone.

    What an AMAZING hidden little gem. Tucked away in the corner of a shopping center is some of the best Lebanese / Middle Eastern food I've EVER had. Their hummus was so creamy, and the rest of the food was cooked perfectly, and it was SO delicious. The service was phenomenal, I mean police were so kind and so helpful and on top of everything. Go! You will not be disappointed if you go there. Enjoy! 😋

    This is by far the best and most delicious cuisine in San Diego. The food is amazing and flavorful. The staff is so courteous and the manager is by far the kindest ever. Portions are generous and prices are very affordable. A must try for anyone who likes homemade foods! 5 stars all the way!!!

    What an AMAZING little hidden GEM! 💎 The humus was like butter! It was so delicious! I'm not sure what was better... the food, or the service? All the employees were so nice and friendly! I wanted for nothing! The food was absolutely delicious! 😋 In fact, when my dinner came, it looked so good, I started to eat it right away and almost didn't take a picture of it! LOL! Go! Enjoy! You will NOT regret it!

    The best and the most authentic Lebanese food in Orange County. I love their foul for breakfast and I usually order a box of baked goods to take home with me like manakeesh and spinach pies. I come here every time i am visiting Orange County from the east bay.

    Great food and totally worth the price. Recommended for tasty food. Just one little catch and reason for 2 stars. As a frequent visitor in California I had heard stories about Anaheim. I did not believe them, but this time I got tricked. Beware how you tip when the server shows you the charges on the CC pay pad. For me, she skipped the automatic tip and I was presented with tip options. So, she got two tips. One earned and one maybe not so.

    I was waiting for an opportunity to stop by here for a shawarma for a year or so. It was average and disappointing. Apparently beef shawarma is only available on weekends, so had the chicken. Also, it seems shawarma was not their strength, so next time I’ll try something else. The garlic sauce was above average..

    This is HANDS DOWN THE BEST PLACE TO GO FOR DESERT OR FOOD! Amazing service. Amazing people working there. I live 40 mins away and this is a staple when I come to the area. Might be best in all USA! No joke

    I've been in many mediterranean restaurants in the area, and this place food is one of the best. The bread is soft and just out of the oven when it is served. It is usually crowded, our order took longer, but the wait was worth it.

    I visited little Arabia in August. I was scrolling in my camera roll and found out I didn’t write anything for these people ! They deserve all the good reviews🥰 The pictures can talk🥰 IT WAS SOO GOOD ! Late night sweets craving🥰 tastes like back home !! Very rich in taste and perfectly done 🥰 I would recommend this spot 🥰

    The food was very tasty and authentic. I had the beef Kabob plate, my husband had the beef shawerma sandwich and we shared appetizers hummus with meat, baba ghanouj and cucumber salad every thing was delicious.

  • 5/5 Ayad K. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best mediterranean I've been to in a long time. The staff are nice and professional. The food gets to you very quickly. And oh let me tell you, the food is high quality. Probably the closest to authentic Arabian food you will get. Everything is cooked to perfection, and everything is fresh. I highly recommend checking this one out if you're in town and a fan of Arabian food.

    Very good food. They need more severs to help out when busy. Must try the fatteh

  • 5/5 Noora 2 years ago on Google
    Beyond amazing Lebanese food! The shawarma ( both chicken and beef) was authentic Lebanese and very well made. We ordered the Lamb Biryani (special), Kibbeh appetizer, chicken tawouk sandwich, and tabbouli. They serve fresh baked arabic bread with the plates (to die for). I will absolutely be coming again.
