    Burnt food.

    We tried this restaurant for the first time. I usually dont leave bad reviews, but this place deserves it. I ordered a Mother's day dinner for my wife, because she had a taste for Mediterranean food. When i food arrived, I was in shock. It was very dry and most of it was overcooked to burnt. The taste was bland and nothing to remind us of the great Mediterranean food we have had in the past from other locations. I could not recommend this place.

    9 years later hehehe have to thank mr sala for the yummy food. Its like being transported to a different country. Had shawarma, chicken kabob one with hummus one with babaghaouj can't spell em buts its yunmy eggplant dip Fallafel. In house made sour yogurt drink, baklava,, namoura (honey cake) kanafi (mixed nuts) and finished with turkish coffee. Service is amazing, the place is very small 5 table for 4 people but theres a lot of room. Everything is yummy. Turkish coffee first time trying and wow hard to describe but yummy grainish, strong. Fallafel hmmm doesnt look like much but soo yummy for me. Kanafi mixed nuts goes soo well with the turkish coffee. Check out the pictures. Have a nice day!

    Burned..reheated and disgusting! HARAM!

    There is truly nothing you can do when you walk into an establishment that doesn't want to be there. Upon arrival owner and his son or family member who was sitting in the front looking angry as usual. Ordered SO MANY things! Every single thing we had here was re-heated from DAYS ago or even frozen for months on end and finally reheated and served to us. Didn't eat it..the dolma had black parts on it because it had been so charred. The salad leaves were brown...the kibbeh you couldn't even bite into it was BITTER and so gross like a rock. I take pride in the food I serve others, this restaurant should do the same. I'm begging the owner to go down the street to Doughlicious restaurant and bakery and watch how the chef there cooks...she's an amazing Lebanese chef. If your not going to serve fresh food close down again!!!!!! How can this place even get an A rating?????? Unclean and rude, never again HARAM.

    I'm glad my dish came out the way I wanted it. They've done an amazing job on the rice. And the portion is very generous.

    DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE. The food is awful and there is terrible customer service. I placed an order online. The beef shawarma sandwich and fries weren't anything special. The lamb kabob plate seemed like they served the worst cut of meat they had. You literally could not chew through the meat. It was also served red. I am not one to return plates but you could not eat any of the meat. I asked for a refund back for the just the lamb kabob plate and brought the entire plate back. They did not give me a refund back because I had ordered online. They did not try to offer any solutions, even after we left the entire plate there. They were not apologetic at all.

    I found out about Kan Zaman from a 1 star review of neighbor down the street, called Baba Ali,…read moreacross from Lins Grand Buffet. Reviewer crtisized Baba because they had so little meat for so high a price $30 and that "bigger portions for cheaper prices can be found at Kam Zaman." So here I am. I love lamb and the moussaka lamb shank was recommended to me by my server Alejandra. $23 sounded reasonable to me. Besides the entry in the picture she gave me a basket filled with pita bread and brought me garlic butter and chopped Olive tapenade. I spread that inside the pita with the garlic butter and it was so delicious. I am taking the leftover pieces to put in my toaster oven and heat to crispy and spread the garlic spread and olive tapenade at home yum. I do not live in this area I come from San Diego and Scottsdale arizona. But I am selling my short-term vacation rental in Temecula Wine Country and I don't have any food there because it's not my home. So I found this restaurant through the bubba review. I shall eat here as long as I stay in Temecula the service is warm and welcoming and the food is very satisfying. The portion of the lamb shank and rice was generous so that I save half of it in my own takeout box to have for another dinner with a pita bread. Looking forward to the leftovers. some men win I read the one-star review of no remember Alejandra was my wonderful server, checked up me often

    I tried them for the first time on Saturday the 2nd of April (2026)…read more It was during an unscheduled stop in Murrieta and I usually go to Papa Feta in Temecula, one town over but decided to give this place a try and was not disappointed. We ordered: Chicken Mantar ($21): It comprised of sauteed Chicken with Mushrooms, Onions cooked in a Garlic sauce. It came with rice and was very flavorful. Eggplant Musakka ($23): This Eggplant dish was prepared in a Tomato sauce with fall off the bone Lamb shank and some garlic sauce. Accompanied with rice, it was also excellent. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The only setback was that the food took almost 30 minutes to be served but the restaurant was fully packed. Service was also top notch. I would definitely be going back there again.

    I was looking for a place to cater delicious Mediterranean food for my birthday. I decided to walk…read morein and try them out and I have to say I was not disappointed at all. I am obsessed with Za'atar so I definitely had to try the Za'atar flat bread and it was delicious plus everything else we tried was just as amazing. Right away I decided to look no further and booked them to cater the food for my birthday. The kabobs, beef, chicken shawarma and everything we ordered was outstanding!! Our guest were all super happy and kept asking where we ordered the food from so I'm sure they will also be visiting the place soon. Needless to say the owners are super sweet and helpful!!! Sadly I didn't take any pictures. So busy running around I totally forgot!

    Found this amazing Lebanese spot during a recent visit to the area and ended up ordering way more…read morethan planned, no regrets. I started with the lentil soup, which was rich and comforting, then moved on to an appetizer combo of falafel, kibbeh, and lahme bajin. Everything was delicious. I wasn't a huge fan of the molasses on top of the kibbeh and would've loved a bit more tahini, but even then it was still excellent and hardly worth complaining about. I also ordered the chicken kebab plate, and I have to say, the salad dressing was simple yet easily one of the best I've had in a long time. The rice tasted like true homemade, family-style cooking, which I really appreciated. And the lahme bajin? So good that I ordered six more to go. Absolutely worth a visit.
