been to aleppo many times growing up and living in socal, hadn't been in a few years and they moved (i'm late to the game). i'm not sure how i feel about the new location. i liked the hidden one on brookhurst st in the heart of little arabia. it transported me overseas. this one is nice but feels very khaleeji modern. maybe i'm just a sucker for nostalgia. anyways, the kibbeh nayeh is still so delicious. 10/10 recommend. i begrudgingly shared with my family of 6 but that's all i really wanted to eat as my dinner lol. the cheese rolls were good only had a bite because i gotta watch my gluten and dairy intake. the meats on the platters slapped. and they are shareable plates in my opinion. we got apps and salad to share so those two plates were enough for the 6 of us. the ashta was good but two bites in and i was sugared out. i recommend sharing that with at least a few other people or someone who loves sugar. service was decent, we came on christmas day for dinner and it got slammed right around 6 so then our server was overwhelmed. understandably. no place to pray. my brother asked for a rug or quiet corner but they got nothing. that's another reason little arabia was better, masjid is down the street. read more

Ok experience, ingredients are good. Overall below expectations. Small portions and pricey every plate is $8-10 over priced. They can be more generous with the meat and rice ( rice is cheat). kofta was okay with some rice. Hummos & shawerma plate &24 ( way too much for the amount of shawerma added $14 it was a rip off . I won't be back read more

Aleppo's Kitchen - Mediterranean Near Me - Anaheim, California

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

First time here and looking forward to coming back! The charm of the space, excellent service from Isabel, and super yummy food with generous portions!! read more

Isabel Made Our Night at Aleppo's Kitchen! Had an awesome time at Aleppo's Kitchen thanks to our server Isabel. She was super kind and spot-on with her recs--Kabsa and Kebeg Naya were bursting with flavor and absolutely delicious. Her warm service made the meal even better. Definitely coming back! 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. This place was really clean and I really liked the Middle Eastern atmosphere (that means a lot coming from an Iraqi vet.) I'm going to make this my go to spot! Thank you so much - Shukran read more

WOW! This was our first experience here and Loved the food, but the SERVICE was even better- First Class! 10 Stars! It's always special when a server like Isabelle is so gracious, warm and welcoming upon arrival. The inside is nicely decorated and we loved the little side area with the tea pots, tray's etc. Then after she sat us, we learned she would also be our server today. She was informative, polite and cheerful all the way through the end of the meal. GREAT JOB ISABELLE! She is a GEM! We'll be back soon. read more

Food was amazing! Dessert was so yummy. And Isabel was so helpful I helping decide what we wanted to eat

Aleppo's is the best food in Orange County. Authentic and so flavorful whether or not you've ever had Middle Eastern cuisine before. Isabel our server was fantastic, please request her section! Thank you Aleppo's and Isabel! read more

My first time at the new location of Aleppo's Kitchen was wonderful including the food, service and new location. The clean new interior is tastefully decorated with decor from the Mediterranean Levantine which includes Lebanon, Syria, Palestine and Israel. And the food is the best. They were in the Little Arabia district for years and now a new nice location. Plenty of parking. The food is fresh, perfectly seasoned and something for everyone. You can do the traditional scratch cooking family dinners, build your own bowls, sandwiches/wraps, or nibble on dozens of Mezze (Small plate appetizers) Things to try for dips Muhammara, Motabal, Baba Ganoush and Tzaziki. For hot appetizers try the Fried Kibbe and Cauliflower. Dip it in the tahini sauce. But this is a rare opportunity to try something different beyond the usual Shawarma, Kebabs and Stuffed Grape which were excellent. I had the Lamb Shank Kabsa! Absolutely one of the best things I ever ate. The rice had exotic but not overpowering or hot spices. Isabel took care of us with excellent service. read more

Really nice place! I selected Aleppo because my guest is a vegetarian. Lots of options on the menu for both of us. Maybe Aleppo is Syrian but it advertises as Mediterranean. Same thing I guess. Really nice looking building. We sat inside and enjoyed the view looking out the wall of glass. My guest had their Falafel Lavash Wrap and loved it. Looked good to me too. I think Med food uses a little more yogurt than mayo, which more people should do in my opinion. Make a note of that, whoever is keeping track of such things. I had their Falafel plate, as it was Eat Falafel Day (I think). Nice meal! 6 homemade chickpea fritters are crisp outside and fluffy inside. Served with pickled turnips and tahini sauce. We will be back! read more

Front of house let 3 new parties in ahead of us, made us wait about 40 minutes after saying it was 15 minutes, looked at us while seating everyone who happened to not be non-Asian. Never got seated and left read more

Wow. Truly might be the best Mediterranean food I've ever had, I got the chicken wrap and it was actually the most amazing thing I've eaten. The veggie slaw was phenomenal and the fries on the side were perfectly golden and crispy. Their tzatziki and garlic sauce are actually perfect as well. So glad I stumbled upon this gem. Probably won't stop thinking about this meal for weeks! Also the atmosphere and vibe in there was so welcoming it felt like you were right at home and the staff was so friendly and nice. Wonderful experience! read more

First time here and it was great! Food was delicious and the warm, fresh pita was amazing!! Isabel was our waitress and she was so helpful! She answered all the questions our group had about the various drinks, sauces, and lunch options. 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

Came here tonight for the first time. The food and service were far superior. Very impressed with the service and portions, our server Isabel was super sweet and attentive. Thank you Isabel for making our experience memorable. Will definitely be back. :) read more

I got the ribeye shawarma and replaced the fries with salad and it was so good, I ate it in less than 10 minutes. I never had Levantine food like this before and really enjoyed the flavor of the meat. Tasted extra fresh when I added more vegetables to the wrap. Will come again. read more

Wonderful food, we ordered the MEDITERRANEAN DIP TRIO Muhammara, baba ghanoush, and hummus with warm pita bread for dipping.(excellent!) CHEESE ROLLS 4 pieces Deep fried spring rolls filled with akkawi--a soft and salted cheese imported directly from Syria. (Amazing!) MANSAF Arabic for 'large dish,' mansaf is a favorite at festive gatherings. Lamb braised slowly in broth with jameed (a salted and sun-dried yogurt), served on a heap of golden rice with warm yogurt sauce (Incredible!) And a hookah, double apple flavored (very good!) Prices were a little bit higher than expected here, but it's a beautiful restaurant for adults, no children allowed on the patio although they are allowed inside the restaurant itself. read more

They did not give me diver ware I had to ask same thing with napkins . I will never go back there the service and food and sitting is not good. read more

Came in with my family a party of 6 , we were served waters for the table. My water tasted like something I've never tasted before , it was as if it was laden with cleaning agents and wasn't properly rinsed. 2/6 of our waters tasted like this. Was assured that sometimes the water has a mineral like taste but I can assure you this was not anywhere near mineral water. I immediately had to go to the men's restroom to throw up whatever I drank because it turned my stomach upside down .following this I got light headed and had light heart palpitations.Everyone else continued to order and eat , I abstained from a meal because I refuse to eat a place that is dishonest about water contamination. I will never dine at this establishment again. I am on vacation and have worked in food establishments for 10 years , I felt cheated and lied too. read more

I ate the Ribeye Lavash wrap and it was delicious. Our server, Isabel, recommended it and she was right. Isabel was very attentive and kind.

Full package, incredibly fresh Mediterranean with friendly, fast service and a hookah terrace to boot. Extremely clean. Extremely fresh. So delicious. We just spent three days at Disney and having some fresh food like this is... resuscitative for my vegetable memory! Thank you! read more

Amazing food the food is so good. The service is great and so friendly and also a very chill place to be

Wonderful Mediterranean bowls! Isabel took great care of us. I ordered a chicken kebab that took a little while, however; definitely worth the wait. read more

Let's see, where to start. I went there with a group of 8 people. After being shown our table in the outdoor dining area with the hookah we didn't hear or see anyone for 20 minutes until I finally waived someone down for us to get menus. We were served water that tasted like chlorine, like pool water. Fast forward, after ordering dinner at 6:00. Entrees were coming out randomly with the first plate coming at 6:25 minutes and the last coming at 7:10. 2 of the people with me ordered the same exact plate (lamb kabsa), the first one came at 6:30 and the second one at 7. It took 20 minutes to get a coffee after having to remind them twice. We ended up having to go up to get our own to go boxes for the left over food because we asked 3 people and they all ignored us and didn't bring them. Their compensation for this terrible experience was a 4 cup teapot. Add insult to injury, after dinner we were sitting there hanging out and smoking (in the OUTDOOR area, not in the actual restaurant) we were talking and laughing and having a good time. The owner comes and tells us to keep it down because we were being too loud, and there are table beside us. I have never experienced such an insult at a middle eastern cafe like this. All the tables were talking, laughing, smoking and having a good time. I hang out in Anaheim area a lot at other hookah cafes like this one and they're full of people doing the same thing and enjoying their time without this horrible experience. Go to Cairo, Nubia, el mahroosa instead, if you want to enjoy. They're cheaper, better food, better service and overall environment. Our server was no where to be found, no menus, food was super late, and then we get told to keep it down. Worst experience I've had in my life.... Never going back read more

Excellent food and great customer service from our favorite server, Isabelle! Definitely come back again.

I've been here twice and both times I have been very impressed with the quality of the food. Having grown up with a Lebanese father, I'm always a little skeptical of middle eastern kitchens. However, Aleppo's kitchen offers a few items, like shish barak and mansaf, that are difficult to find let alone done well. This place is well worth a stop if you are looking for something authentic. read more

Amazing food! Excellent service, thank you Isabel. Authentic food. Loved the hot tea too. read more

My favorite place for lunch, right by our office, so it's a must for every week. Our server Isabel was wonderful and attentive and I can't wait for next time! Service is quick, food is incredibly delicious, and you can build your own bowls. 10/10 read more

I took my mom to Aleppo's last week and this sweet server who I unfortunately forgot her name but had beautiful curly hair served us and was so sweet and was making an effort to talk to us. Overall just making us feel more comfortable and making the restaurant more "homie." She also recommended the best dishes which made it easier for my mom and I! We can't wait to come back again soon and hopefully have her again. She was so attentive and sweet. read more

Isabel was super kind and helpful in modifying a hot drink as an iced drink for me - thank you! Food is delicious and a great value. A great spot for lunch when you're visiting Disneyland or coming in for a convention. Great decor in restaurant. Free parking is a plus in the lot. read more

Isabel was an outstanding server--attentive, friendly, and on top of everything. The food was delicious, and the service matched its excellence. This was our first visit, but it definitely won't be our last. The atmosphere was warm and inviting! read more

Isabel was great. It was my first time here and she made great suggestions for our lunch order. She was very attentive and checked in on us very often as well. read more

Food was alright, but for sure geared more towards an Americanized flavor rather than Middle Eastern. Drove in from LA with a big group for iftar and was told that if we ordered 2-3 plates of meats, salads, and appetizers that it would be enough. For sure was not enough and had to keep ordering more throughout the night. When we got a dip appetizer plate, we had to ask 4 different people to get bread that was supposed to be served with it. We ordered 2 more chicken plates later on that took over 30 minutes to arrive. Some in our group wanted to smoke hookah so we called ahead of time and they placed us outside. Once we were sat, they then informed us that we couldn't order it until 8:30 (over an hour and a half from our reservation). I will say the cheese borak was very tasty so that was a silver lining. For a restaurant catering towards a Ramadan observing crowd, they did not seem prepared for it. read more

The place was smaller than I thought and the food was ok, most dishes were served cold including the mixed grill platter and the grilled lamb chops. The chops were cold and hard, would not recommend it at this time. The service was great as she checked with us several times. The highlight was the pistachio ice cream which was out of this world and would highly recommend it and I may go back just for that. read more

interior was clean, service was amazing, and food was SO fresh and yummy ! my favorites were definitely the shish barak and the lemon chicken wings read more
