    Aleppo's Kitchen is by far my favorite Mediterranean restaurant now. The food was so good! Loved everything. I truly wish the portions were just a tad bigger because it was just so delicious and I wish my plate had more! lol. The customer service was EXCELLENT. Our server was so sweet and kind. I was so happy with how respectful and attentive she was the whole time. Thank you so much for the amazing customer service. Ambiance was calm and family oriented. The seating arrangement was comfortable and perfect. Overall, this place is a 10/10. My only complaint is that a $33 kabob platter should have a larger portion of rice, salad, and meat. Iv been to many Mediterranean restaurants and portions do vary but this one was a bit on the smaller side. Like Panini Kabob for example gives great portions at a good price and the taste is great there too. Thats the one and only thing I would say should be updated. However, they have great tasting food and I will definitely come back!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Mixed Kibbeh Platter

    Food tastes great. Service was pretty good and the ambiance was nice. Mixed plate is the way to go if you want to try a solid variety.

    I really enjoyed this place ! I've been twice now. I found it through searching yelp near me. This area is rich with restaurants but I was so happy I chose this place out of all the options. Excellent place to get tasty food. Everything I've tried here has been super delicious! First thing I noticed walking in was how clean it was . Spotless. The place is well taken care of which shows that the owners and staff have pride in their establishment.service is excellent . Overall a great place to dine in. I highly recommend.

    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.

    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.

    Never am I going to come to this place again For the price we paid the portions were tiny The food was stale and badly prepared The pita was store bought so stale and dry We ordered their kibbeh platter for appetizers.. it has such a potent meat smell like omg it grossed me out The shawarma combo which the hostess recommended was soooo dry and flavorless And lastly their mix kabab platter omg the least said the better the meat kabab was raw and undercooked although we said medium rare and that scent of meat like omg We told her to take it back instead of getting a fresh plate they brought the same platter back.. their only charging for their ambiance Never going back

    Mixed Kibbeh Platter

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Hey.. Do u guys have Ramdan breakfast? And how much because Im calling and it's busy like an hour!

    Yes everyday, the weekends are the busiest. You might have to call 5-6 times cause the line might be busy and or just off as they start in the afternoon. The last few years its been around $27 or so.

I placed an online order for the baked fish plate around 12:45 PM and expected a bit of a wait since it was fish. After waiting about 25 minutes, I called and was told it would be another 10-15 minutes. The restaurant was busy, so I understood. However, after waiting longer and checking inside twice, my order still wasn't ready and there seemed to be confusion about its status. In total, I waited close to an hour for an order that was placed online in advance. What bothered me most was seeing customers who ordered in person receive their food before me. It felt like my online order had been overlooked. If online ordering is offered, those orders should be monitored and fulfilled properly, especially during busy times. The food itself was good, but the plate could have been put together better. The fries were placed directly on top of the fish, which made them soggy and took away from the presentation. It would make much more sense to serve the fries on the side. Overall, the food is still good, but the long wait, confusion with the online order, and lack of attention to presentation make me hesitant to rely on the online ordering system again.
