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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mix Aleppo's Signature Kabob

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

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.

The falafel plate was the best a falafel I've ever had!

Food is bomb! The tea and Turkish coffee were magical! The staff was super kind, and the owners themselves were very generous and personally attentive to my entire group of friends! The beautiful, antique, and unique interiors were a vibe, as if I was transported to a different world of warmth and delightful food!

Mixed Kibbeh Platter
Aliya Y.

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!

Had a great experience eating Mediterranean food. The pitas were hot and that's a huge plus. I hate cold pita. Overall great. I'm going back.

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.

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.

Shawarma Loaded Fries -- 2/5 I probably should have skipped these and just gotten another plate. It was kind of a sticky mess and the combo just didn't really work. You get a great portion of beef shawarma, but the raw onion, shredded cheese, and pickle slices felt like a really unusual combination. I usually love pickles in my Mediterranean food, but this just wasn't it for me.

But once you walk in, the space is clean, comfortable, and actually really nice to sit and enjoy a meal in. That said, the FOOD is absolutely the star here. Just look at this bowl. I got their "bowl with everything" with chicken (which they recommended), and it was incredible. Every single component tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The chicken was seasoned so well, the toppings were vibrant and crisp, and all the sauces and dips tied everything together perfectly. It's one of those meals where every bite somehow gets even better. Honestly, I wish I had a bigger stomach so I could just keep eating because it was THAT good. And don't skip the fresh pita...it's warm, soft, fluffy, and dangerously addictive. I could easily order a dozen of them alone. Their fries and dip selection are also amazing and make the whole experience even better. This is the kind of place you try once and immediately start craving again the next day. Easy 5 stars for me.
