Decided to try a new Mediterranean place and saw this place had such good reviews. You can honestly believe the hype. We went for lunch and our server Isabel was so kind and helped explain all the options in the menu to us. Generous portion sizes, food was so tasty and fresh. And it was a great deal too. We loved eating here and will definitely be coming back. read more

I ordered the gyro lunch plate, baklava, and black tea, and everything was delicious. The restaurant seemed a little short staffed, but Isabelle did a fantastic job and provided warm, attentive service throughout our visit. Great food and great hospitality. Will keep coming back! read more

Food is amazing, I got the steak kabob plate! Service was even better, thank you Isabelle !

Came here for a colleague's birthday lunch with a group of 8, and it was our first time for most of us. We ordered from the lunch menu and everything was delicious. Isabel took great care of us. Super attentive, had a great sense of humor, and gave solid recommendations. Even the cook came out to check on us, which was a really nice touch. Honestly, the food was great, but the service was even better. We'll definitely be back. read more

I don't usually leave reviews, which makes this especially disappointing because we truly enjoy the food here. Honestly, I think this place is even better than Panini, which we also like. What left a bad impression was the pricing approach and customer service. They charge for every little extra, including hot sauce or garlic sauce. We were charged $2 for sauce, which feels excessive when entree prices are already $25+. The bigger issue was the Turkish coffee. We confirmed with the waitress that we wanted one order. She brought one coffee in a jar with one tiny cup. When I asked for an extra small cup for my wife, we were later charged for two Turkish coffees simply because we asked for another cup. That is unreasonable, and it should have been clearly communicated upfront. We live very close by, so this is frustrating because the food quality is genuinely great. But the business model and service take away from the experience. My suggestion is simple: if you need to charge more, just raise the menu prices. But charging extra for basic sauce requests or for an extra cup with one Turkish coffee is a real turnoff. read more

An absolute must! Food is amazing and affordable. Isabel, Great energy ;), our server is professional, courteous and had magnificent recommendations. 5 Stars!!!!! The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere and the place was spotless. Definitely a must try, lunch was a perfect time for us. read more

The shawarma combo plate was delicious - both the chicken and the beef were flavorful and tender! The salad was light and refreshing. The rice was nicely cooked and fluffy. The hummus and garlic sauce were excellent. Friendly service, nice space. read more

Had a family lunch and was able to make a reservation during busy weekend which was a big plus in choosing to come. It has a bright ambiance and welcoming staff. I believe this is Syrian cuisine so some of the menu items I was a bit unfamiliar with when comparing usual Mediterranean restaurant. Everyone enjoyed their food and it was quite a large portion. I got the kefta kabobs with a spicy tomato salsa like sauce. It came with 4 kebabs so I had leftovers for the next day. Most places usually give 2. It also came with an interesting flatbread pizza sandwich thing on the side. I also discovered how delicious Muhammara is. It's a dip that's made with walnuts and pomegranate molasses. Highly recommend trying this if you want something different than hummus for a starter. read more

TO GO REVIEW Take a look at my picture and you'll understand. What I ordered, the $27 ribeye wrap, does not reflect the value of what I received. It was a plate of French fries, a few pieces of greens, and a thin wrap with small cuts of beef. This place is overpriced for what I received and I would not come back. read more

Hard to believe that I've not written a review of Aleppo's Kitchen which I have been visiting ever since I move here to Anaheim and when they still were on Brookehurst Ave. Fast forward the restaurant is now within minutes from my place and it is very nice and clean and modern. For my lunch I ended up getting the Lentil Soup ( which I love) and the Gyro Flatbread. The Flatbread was ok but not great and I wish I would have ordered something different instead. On the other side the service was nice and friendly and I definitely will be back! Bon Appetit. read more

Aleppo's Kitchen - The falafel plate was the best a falafel I've ever had! - Mediterranean Near Me - Anaheim, California

I received a 15% off ticket when I parked for an Angels game. Aleppo's Kitchen shares the same parking lot. I finally got a chance to use it for my birthday. I ordered the kebab plate that came with chicken, fillet mignon, and the ground beef skewer. My wife got the lamb shank. When the dishes arrived, I immediately tried the rice and it didn't have any flavor the same with the meats. Only the chicken tasted delicious. My wife's said the filet mignon was too hard to chew the lamb was cooked nicely, though I had higher expectations, and the meals were priced high. She doesn't want to come back. read more

We are blessed with a lot of excellent Arab restaurants in Anaheim and glad I finally gave Aleppo's a try. Stand outs were the Syrian style dumplings in yogurt sauce, lahmajeen flatbread, grape leaves and grilled halloumi salad. Kibbeh was also good but probably don't need the mixed platter as they are just different shapes of the same thing. Also didn't really care for their falafel. And don't skip the pot of mint tea! Service was friendly and the restaurant is inviting with plenty of seating. A little on the pricier side for the style of food, but they have several unique items on the menu and there are still a few I need to come back to try! read more

Our server Isabel is the best! Amazing food as always, the chicken Bowl is my favorite

Aleppo's had great reviews, so we knew we had to try it. We added a couple platters so we could get a better feel for the place. It's also a hookah lounge, which I'm sure gets super busy at night. The Lamb Mansaf was good, but honestly, the portion was smaller than expected -- kinda weird because "Mansaf" in Arabic means a big dish. The dish should've been bigger; I felt like it needed more rice. That said, the almonds added a nice crunch, and it was packed with warm spices like cardamom, allspice, and cinnamon. We also ordered a variety of meats with rice to sample different dishes. The chicken and steak were fire, but the kofta needed some work. The rice was also smaller than I expected. Overall, a solid spot with tasty food, great service and chill atmosphere! Just wish the portions were a bit bigger! read more

Ambience: Pretty chill spot tucked into the corner of a plaza -- not fancy, but definitely comfortable. There's an indoor area for dining and an outdoor patio that's popular for hookah. Even on a busy Friday evening, there was plenty of space and easy parking in the plaza. My only small gripe is that the parking lot was a bit dark; some extra lighting would make it feel cozier and safer at night. Food: Absolutely amazing. Every dish impressed me. We started with the dipping sampler -- hummus, baba ghanoush, and a red pepper sauce. The hummus was silky and rich, the baba ghanoush had the perfect tang without being too salty, and the sauces paired beautifully with the warm, fresh pita (three generous rounds, about 6 inches each). The Mediterranean fries arrived last, but they were worth the wait -- perfectly crispy, topped with tomatoes, feta, parsley, and paprika. Delicious on their own or dipped in any of the sampler sauces. The beet salad was another standout -- a balanced mix of arugula and beets with pickled onions, walnuts, feta, and radishes tossed in a light vinaigrette. Generous portion, easily sharable for two or even three people. And the lamb shank... incredible. Tender, flavorful, and fall-off-the-bone soft. The rice underneath was aromatic and topped with toasted almonds, with a tangy yogurt sauce that brought it all together. Easily one of the best lamb dishes I've had in a long time. Service: Friendly, attentive, and relaxed. The food came out very quickly. The staff checked in just enough without hovering. Food came out steadily, and even though it was a busy evening, everything was served hot and fresh. Overall: Aleppo's Kitchen is a hidden gem -- unpretentious, delicious, and satisfying on every level. I'd 100% come back and highly recommend it to anyone craving authentic Mediterranean food done right. read more

繁華三千，看淡便是浮雲，煩惱無數，想開就是晴天，心隨境轉，允許一切發生，有時你所失去的，可能本來就不屬於你～ 前兩個禮拜跟前同事去吃了家地中海料理， 她才剛剛被上帝派去一個離地中海不遠，但我聽都沒聽過的國家傳教，待了好幾個月才回來，那菜當然是讓她來點啦， 沒想到，地中海料理東西不止多樣化， 味道很有層次， 入口的感覺，應該用豐富來形容，平常大部分都還是在羅蘭岡吃台菜， 這次的午餐真的是煥然一新， 我們也好幾年沒見了，應該有說不完的話題，但因為食物太合我胃口了（ 這是修飾過的， 其實就是太喜歡吃東西了）沒有出國，光來吃個飯，就有異國風情的感覺，所以大部分的時間， 我都在傾聽的多，最好吃的就是那個希臘優格炒飯，全部搭在一起，味道就是嘟嘟好，沙拉的口感就是風情萬種，不曉得是地中海菜都這麼好吃，還是這家特別好吃，11 點我們來時，是第一位客人，不到12 點， 全滿， 好多人呀， 我覺得既然要當吃貨， 很多菜色都該給自己機會試試，有時會有意想不到的驚喜呢！ read more

We stumbled upon this hidden gem when getting coffee in area. We came for lunch and ordered the chicken kabob bowl and it was AMAZING. Everything tasted super fresh -- especially the cucumbers, tomatoes, and the tzatziki sauce (so good). Isabelle provided excellent customer service. She gave great recommendations, was super attentive, and kept checking in on us. She really went above and beyond, which made the experience even better. Everyone was very kind, and the portions were generous too. Definitely coming back! read more

A delicious meal that exceeded my expectations!  I got the Gyro Flatbread and Kibbeh Labanieh, which were both flavorful and had just the right amount of creamy yogurt sauce. Sometimes cream-based dishes can feel heavy, but these were perfectly balanced. I especially loved the Kibbeh Labanieh, which is like a dumpling filled with savory ground meat. It stayed hot throughout the meal. The portions were also just right for sharing between two people. I came on a weekday around 8 PM. It was not busy and very spacious and clean inside. The staff were so friendly and attentive, happily answering my questions about the protein in dishes. They checked in often and cleared empty plates right away, which made the whole experience great! read more

Not your normal middle eastern menu-but better! Food was delicious and different. My cousin took me here because we wanted middle eastern food but something different and it really was. All cooked in the kitchen by the owner chef herself. We ordered the Fatouche Salad and Kibbeh Nayyeh to start with and for dinner we split an order of the Shish Barak. Each bite of the salad was amazing and filled with flavor and perfect balance of texture and spices. Pita bread is also served on the table, and the Kibbeh Nayyeh is served with mint leaves and onions that you eat with the pita. But the best was the Shish Barak (Syrian Ravioli). The dumplings were coked to perfection in a rich yogurt sauce and served with rice. Everything was excellent and the restaurant is more like fine dining. We sat in their hookah patio which is lit up with chandeliers, and heated with warmers and fire pits. There's a cute little shop at the entrance with beautiful Syrian hand made items from wood and mother of pearl, like jewelry boxes, soap sets/boxes, chess boards and other trinkets. As we walked through the restaurant to the rear where our table would be, I kept smelling bursts of amazing food and spices, then as we passed the drink prep area, I smelled "clean"-like as in sterile/cleanser. I never smell clean in restaurants or it's rare. I loved that and it made me even more confident in eating there. But the most important and best part of my experience there was the service-I've never ever gone to a Middle Eastern restaurant where they had both good food and good service. It's always one or the other and Ive already accepted that the service will suck because the food is amazing when I go to good middle eastern restaurants. But not at this place. The food is amazing and the service was on point! We never had to wait longer than 5 minutes to request something from or see our waitress. The waiters were always around, monitoring our needs and they weren't overwhelmed waiting more tables than they each could handle. We didn't spend 2.5 hours at this restaurant mostly waiting to make eye contact with our waiter to get there attention to ask for a refill, more napkins, a utensil, our check or waiting for our food. Nope-not here. Service was on point. We didn't order any coffee/tea or desert because we were stuffed and we took our leftovers home. We also did not stay to have hookah there this time either. But maybe next time. Prices are a little on the higher side, but the food, service abd ambience is well worth it. It's fine dining and classy. I highly recommend taking a special someone here for an exquisite dining experience that your taste buds will love. read more

Came to Aleppo's with a big group for a friends birthday dinner and all the food was amazing. My favorites were: - Fattoush Salad - Mediterranean Trio Dip - Lamb Kabsa - Gyro Flatbread - Knafeh Servers were very nice and food came out at a good pace for our big group! There was live music in the outdoor patio and the atmosphere was very lively and fun on a Saturday night. The "no children" sign for the patio was kinda hilarious. Only thing I'd pass on next time is the Ayran drink! I love yogurty drinks but this one was a bit hard to down and savory/salty, perhaps I'm just not used to it. read more

Service was great. We were greeted shortly after entering and seated right away. Food ordered and came out within minutes. I love the decor, inside and out. Music wasn't too loud. They do allow hookah outside but no smell inside at all. Food was 10/10. I got the lamb Kansa. The meat was melt off the bones and rice was perfectly seasoned. They also give a very generous amount of sauce. Overall will be back read more

The food here was really good! It's on the pricier side (~$33 for the plate). I wish there was more rice that came with our food. The combo plate is a great option for sharing as well! We also got their falafels and those were nice and crispy. The pita bread was nice and fluffy and went well with their garlic sauce and hummus :) read more

First time trying this restaurant and I'll start by saying the minute we walked in I already had high hopes because it smelled so good in there . Service was very good actually the lady that helped us out would check up on us a lot it really showed that she was attentive to her tables. The food quality and taste were definitely what I expected it was all very very delicious . The steak was so good and so was the chicken. For dessert we had the pistachio ice cream that I will say was not my favorite I'd give that a 6/10 but aside from that everything was delicious I would definitely recommend this place just do keep in mind it is on the more expensive side but I guess u do get what u pay for and it's well worth it . I'll definitely be back to try other stuff on the menu. read more

I don't know what was better: the food or the service. I was treated and welcomed by Isabel right away at lunch. She recommended a wonderful chicken bowel.

My dad found this restaurant and he never suggests a specific restaurant so obviously that meant we had to try it! My entire family loved this place and the food was amazing. I didn't know Anaheim such good food! We came in on a Sunday afternoon for a quick lunch and the service was great. Menu had options from salads and cold appetizers to kebab plates, flatbreads and wraps. We got a Persian salad to share and this was very refreshing, tart and minty! Both of my parents got kebab plates which came with a side of rice and grilled vegetables as well as a slaw type of salad and I got a chicken shawarma wrap with a side of fries. Everything tasted great and came out fresh. Though the chicken kebab was so juicy and tender, I do recommend getting the mixed kebab plate so you can try all the meats. Check this place out! read more

A large restaurant perfect for families or parties. Ordered a large spread of dishes, was happy with all of them.

This is an amazing little restaurant. I have eaten here more than a dozen times and the food is consistently excellent! I've eaten here for lunch, I've eaten here for dinner, and I have come for just appetizers and drinks in the evening. Everything is exceptionally fresh and every dish I've eaten has been wonderful. The ambiance is modern, clean and tasteful. They also have an outdoor section which is open in the evenings. The service is something that really stands out here. Every waiter, waitress and busser I've spoken to has been exceptionally, polite, professional and caring. With this review, I have to give a special call out to Isabel, who always goes out of her way to take care of us! Thank you! read more

I watched this place come to life and I knew I wanted to try it. I don't know what took me so long, but I'm glad that I did from the minute that I walked in. I knew it was the place that I would love because there were tea kettles EVERYWHERE at the entrance! The atmosphere was also very relaxed. I wasn't really that hungry when I went in, but I just needed something to settle my stomach so I decided to go light with a salad and some tea. I chose the beet salad, and it did not disappoint. If you are a lover of beats, you will love to sell There was arugula, there was feta, and there were walnuts with the light salad dressing! It was light delicious, crunchy, tangy, and slightly salty with the sharp taste of the arugula at the end of every bite. It was divine. I would definitely recommend ! read more

I was in the area with my Toastmasters friend and we were looking for a great place to have lunch. What a find! This family and locally owned restaurant serves up delicious food in both an elegant and casual ambiance environment. We were utterly delighted. Our server, Isabel, was so nice and attentive. She provided suggestions when we were looking at the Gyro and other options. We both got a lunch plate with provided a delicious variety of side options. I could have gone with either rice option, which my friend went for. Or more Keto or Atkins Friendly, on a bed of greens. I wanted more chlorophyll in my diet that day and selected that. I also like to go with options that I can't just make at home. So, I opted for the Gyro style sliced Lamb as my protein. Side: The Garbonzo beans were tender and lovely. Not spiced, FYI. The Pita was fresh and super yummy. There's Baklavah at the front! If we had seen it more when were coming in, we would have ordered some! Options for next time. We left full, tummies satisfied and happy that the meal left us feeling full and light, not heavy. I highly recommend! + Keto Friendly + Atkins Friendly + Vegan Friendly + Vegetarian Friendly 2025 Review number 20 read more

TL;DR - delicious food (and lots of it!) at a reasonable price. I've driven past this place several times, so when a friend mentioned meeting up here I knew where it was at. There used to be a Rubio's in the same parking lot back in the day, but now there are a few boutique spots. There's plenty of parking but watch out for the 30 min. spots. Inside, the place looks pretty authentic. Isabelle was our server and was pretty knowledgeable, offering great recommendations on the menu. I ordered a gyro bowl and Turkish coffee and enjoyed both. There was also a yogurt drink called arak that was really salty but reminded me of kefir. Overall, good food and service for a casual spot. I'd recommend it. read more
