First time trying this place under the new management. Ordered döner kebab sandwich. It was very good. Then tried their baklava, very good as well. Service was also very good. They have indoor and outdoor seating. There is plenty of parking in front of the restaurant. I will definitely be back to try other food.

Iskender plate

Great Turkish food, I had the best iskender in this restaurant. I will definitely come back.

Since my last review, the restaurant has changed chefs and menus. This review was right before Ramadan, and was the standard menu. For anyone who was familiar with Castle, this is the same chef and menus. To keep the review simple, most the food was tasty. My particular highlight had to have been the muhammara and tawook. The prices are a bit steep, which is where I personally lose a point.

We loved the food, service was amazing and fast. Restaurant was so clean, and also nice vibe. We were greeted when walked in , friendly staff and all were so nice. We ordered mainly chicken plates . Their Maskhan is authentic 5/5. Kofta Sandwich was 4/5 , they need to make kofta skewer bigger, but taste again DELICIOUS ! Chicken on Charcoal was good, juicy 4/5 . Hummus OOMG ! Finally we have a very nice vibe and delicious food together in one restaurant in Anaheim!!! Also, food portions like Half Maskhan can be for 2 !

Pistachio baklava

Where do I start? I discovered this hidden gem when I went to Essential Nails for my mani/pedi. While sitting in the chair, the heavenly aroma of spices and charred meat convinced me to place a to-go order. It quickly became the norm when getting my nails done. Tonight, we decided to eat inside the restaurant. The staff was warm and friendly. We saw these beautiful dishes on other diners' tables and wanted to try them. They did not disappoint! We ended up going with a family style dinner that came with three appetizers, kabobs, rice, grilled vegetables and the fresh baked Turkish pita. They brought us some perfectly brewed Turkish tea, the best pistachio baklava and Turkish ice cream. We will definitely come back! Please support local restaurants

As someone who misses Turkish food, finding this restaurant was such a joy. This is my third visit, and they have never disappointed me. The service is consistently excellent, and the staff is always kind, friendly, and welcoming. Every meal I've had here tastes just like home and takes me back to Turkey. The authentic flavors, quality ingredients, and halal menu make this place truly special. I'll definitely keep coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for real Turkish food.

The food was really delicious! I loved the tea, and the pizza was so tasty. The meat was perfectly cooked--tender and flavorful. Everything was fresh and honestly made me want to come back again!

Bread, Muhammad'a, tabbouleh, Turkish tea

Excellent Turkish restaurant hailing from the Antakya (Antioch) region. Very attentive and friendly service. The meze, breads, meats and sweets are all made fresh in house and you can definitely tell! Everything is delicious. Meats and chicken are moist and not overcooked like I so after find elsewhere. We were in the neighborhood but would drive here for this!! Highly recommend!

I've states my favorites above. You cannot find the level of quality and the depth of flavors for authentic Yemeni food, as you would at House of Mandi. The restaurant itself feels like you stepped out of OC into somewhere else. If you are somewhat adventurous, they have these really cool floor seating style tables - if you can find them available! This place is often busy and for good reason, their food is good, like really really good. The staff does a good job keeping up with everyone, and the food comes out relatively quickly even on busy days, given how many people they are serving. The hardest part about this place is the parking. It's to no fault of the restaurant's - it's just a really small shopping center that happens to have a fee popular spots, so it is always packed. Keep up the good work house of mandi - and please never change, please maintain your quality and flavors!!

Order placed at 4:23. The website confirmed pick-up time of 4:59. They also called to confirm the pick-up location. The restaurant wasn't busy. Checked in and was told 20 mins...checked in 25 mins later was told 10 more mins....5:35 order still not ready...no details offered on the delay...5:46 no communication....the two kids in the front just joking around. Eventually got the food at 5:58 after arguing with the front desk. One hour after pickup time confirmed. Never doing this again. As I said the food is good but the service is awful! Just DoorDash it if you really want to eat here. Totally worth the delivery cost. I may just skip it. I hate businesses that are dishonest. Just be honest about the pick-up time. My time is just as valuable. Since you didn't value or respect my time you lost a customer.

The service was good as well--nothing extraordinary, but friendly and attentive enough. The main area that could use some attention is the condition of the restaurant. It's starting to feel a little run-down and could definitely use some renovation and a deeper cleaning, especially toward the back and around the bathroom area. With some updating and attention to cleanliness, this place could really stand out because the food is definitely worth coming back for.

They are located in the Brookhurst Plaza in the Little Arabia district. There is plenty of parking out front and access is very easy. The interior is small and basic but yet warm, inviting and comfortable. They also have loggia seating outside in front of the bakery. The service is excellent and everyone is so friendly and accommodating that it feels like you are at a family gathering. They serve a vibrant mix of delicious, savory, traditional Lebanese flat breads including the "manakeesh" which comes in many different ways with Zaatar (a blend of thyme, sumac and sesame seeds), cheese, spiced meats and much more. They also serve spiced meat hand pies such as "Sfeeha and fatayer" which are small hand pies, folded into triangles or squares, typically filled with spiced ground meat, spinach, or tangy cheese. They bake the dough to a beautiful golden brown. They offer a lot more than i can list here [See full menu in photos]. They have something for everyone. They use the freshest ingredients. They prepare the dough daily. They grind the meats in house and they use nothing but Halal meats. You can taste the quality in every bite. In my opinion, it is one of the very best Middle Easter Bakeries in the USA. Delicious food, very reasonable prices and great service. I highly recommend giving Al Amir a try. PS: they also have a location in Claremont. Shukran (Thank you) Haj, Radwan and the rest of the crew. Khaled- :)

The service here was focused, professional, and kind. I loved how our food was brought out on a charming tray and our server removed each individual item with care and patience. It was a quaint experience to end our night with. I was also surprised at the culinary experience. We did not order much, as it was only meant to be a snack. I felt that they went above and beyond to complete our dining experience. The food felt very homemade in the best way possible - it was homey and comforting. The bread that covered the spinach pie (which was way larger than I was expecting) was fluffy, filling, warm, and just out of this world. The ideal bread experience! I am personally not a fan of the chicken shawarma here - it was reminiscent of street food/the Halal guys in the sense that it was more boiled meat than shawarma meat.. but the garlic sauce was uhhhmazing, as was the hot sauce, which was spicy with a hint of a sweet aftertaste. I am not a huge fan of soda, but if you have not tried Vimto, it is a MUST try. It complemented our food so well and I was beyond satisfied with this purchase. The food here was not exceptional, but I would give this experience overall 5 stars.
