    The food here is great. I had the beef shawarma plate (pictured). The beef is cooked on a spit which you can see behind the counter and reminded me of when ordering a gyro or doner kebab in Greece or Turkey. The plate had a large amount of food and tasted authentic. Note that there are some pickled vegetables under the lettuce. The atmosphere here is good. It's primarily a takeout place with indoor seating and fairly significant outdoor seating. The service was fast. They also had a number of bakery items, some already premade behind the counter. I had a spicy spinach pie which was a triangle filled pastry that I also enjoyed. I would recommend checking out Zait and Zaatar if you are in the area.

    We came into town for 2 days to do Disney found the dive bar across the street & a great burrito place but I really wanted something different & boy were we pleasantly surprised. Sam the owner came out to talk to us & share his love of spices & we compared business stories. The Ribeye kabob & chicken are delicious along with the best Hummus I’ve ever tasted & Sam brought out a garlic sauce ,Fantastic !!! Great prices and fantastic food.

    I've only been here once, but I really enjoyed the food. I ordered a chicken wrap and hummus, which were both great.

    Zait and Zaatar always has a line out the door for a reason!!!! Photos typically don’t lie! Too bad my iPhone doesn’t have a smell feature/tool so you could get the full aromatic of the entrées we ordered. It’s rare to visit an establishment where you are greeted with a smile and a team who proudly serves homemade Lebanese cuisine and desserts. 👩🏻‍🍳💋🫶🏼

    This is one of my favorite Arabic restaurants because they have a variety of different food and their salad kind of has an American twist on it with their delicious dressing. The staff is really nice, the service is great, and the restaurant itself has an amazing design that takes you out of California and places in the Middle East for just one meal. Absolutely beautiful. You feel like you’re in Beirut. Their proportions are also very generous. I love this place.

    Such a gem - skip Starbucks and get this instead. Shawarma was on point and amazing. Very unique hummus, and the harissa spicy sauce was sooo good. The garlic sauce wad the best. Can't wait to try everything else on the menu!

    We got 2 falafel plates. The falafel was really good but the problem was there were Persian cucumbers that were bad you can even see it in the picture they were not fresh. The cucumbers were on the bottom was completely garbage.

    I went there first time, I have heard very good reviews about this place, I couldn't only Get shawarma bowl or dish without wheat bread, this place is not gluten friendly, someone with severe sensitive stomach should watch

    I'm addicted to the beef shawarma sandwich! Gotta grab a side of garlic to go with it. 😋 yummy The staff is great. Well, there's one woman that works there that doesn't have the type of personality to work with the public but I don't much care as long as she gets my order right. Sam is a fast talker and before you know it, you've got 5 bags of food and $40 later. It's cool because he kind of forces you to try new things and so far, I've loved everything he makes me eat 😁. He's a great guy who loves the food he makes and wants others to enjoy his passion. It's a small place with indoor and outdoor seating. Outside is full almost 90% of the time I go by. Love this place.

    I got the Chicken Shawarma Arabi, and it was absolutely delicious. The portion size was pretty big. The people there are also very friendly. They also gave me a complimentary zaatar bread to try out. Highly recommended!

    This is one of my favorite place to eat real Foul in the city of Anaheim. Normally I eat Foul with bread but this Foul you end up eating it with a spoon 😋😋. Stop by and try it for yourself

    Very good beef and chicken shawarma sandwiches, that’s all I’ve had so far but it’s very good! More authentic spices than other places in the area

  • 5/5 Taniya A. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is absolutely delicious. I got the chicken wrap! I had chicken fried tomatoes, pickles, fresh sauce lebneh garlic 🧄 it’s worth it. This place is authentic and always worth coming back to.

    The wraps here are so delicious! We have closer Mediterranean style places by our house but we go out of our way cuz the food here is that good! Plus they have delicious bakery items! Superb!

  • 5/5 Frank M. 2 years ago on Google
    This was the best chicken shawarma I've had in a very long time. I also had the beef shawarma sandwich, but I forgot to take a photo because I was too busy stuffing my face with the hummus!

  • 5/5 Nancy A. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow what a treat! One of the best manakeesh! Excellent dough and my best was the cheese ones. The Zaatar was good. My only thoughts was the Tea; I wish it was not tea bags. But overall, it was fantastic meal. Everyone in the group loved it.

    Amazing food and pies. We came here for breakfast brunch and fell in love with atmosphere and customer service is a 10!!!!

  • 5/5 Ana & Karl L. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is fantastic! Lebanese/ Mediterranean food. Small place in the back of a corner shopping center. Nicely decorated (with a beautiful cedar wood table inside and a large wood fired oven (the zait za'atar oven baked bread is wonderful! ). They also have a small outside seating area. My wife had the kabob wrap (steak, with onions hummus and Mediterranean seasonings), I had the "Shish Tawook plate" (seasoned chicken, jasmine rice I think, Mediterranean salad, hummus and chick peas). Everything was not only beautifully presented but incredibly tasty. Even the hummus (which I never thought I'd like) was delicious! Their bakery items were fantastic as well. Arabic bread (soft round bread, hollow inside) to stuff with whatever you like and another flat bread, whose name I can't remember) that they use for the wraps, as well as a variety of other pastries that all looked delicious. My plate cost $19, my wife's wrap was about $10. Plenty of food... we left with plenty to finish tonight. I checked out what several other customers were having and it all looked so good! We will definitely come back here! Highly recommended!

    Amazing looking place and the food was delicious, the steak Shawarma Was Juicy and had just the right amount of fat in it, the garlic sauce was strong and tasty, one of the best garlic sauce I've ever tasted. I will definitely be coming back here with my son again. Oh yeah and the hummus here is also amazing oh, I like how they put extra olive oil and the hummus beans on top. Felt like I was eating in Lebanon. Thank you guys and keep up the good work. Assalamualaikum!!!
