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.

Today I ordered Mansaf ( lamb with rice ( Jordanian/ Palestinian ) dish Food :5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 I recommend it They famous for their mosaken chicken with onions on top of bread .

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!

It's only about 7 minutes from the parks, making it the perfect lunch or dinner spot if you're craving something flavorful that won't leave you feeling heavy. Everything we ordered was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. The spinach pastry was hands down my favorite, perfectly flaky with a delicious savory filling. The potato pastry was a close second and just as satisfying. If you visit, don't skip the pastries! We also tried the steak and chicken kebab combo plate, and both were cooked perfectly. The chicken was especially tender, juicy, and seasoned beautifully. You can actually watch the meat being cooked fresh in the back, which made the whole experience feel even more authentic. I ordered the veggie plate with falafel, baba ganoush, tabbouleh, hummus, and tahini sauce, and every single item was delicious. The falafel really stood out. It had a perfectly seasoned, crispy exterior with a soft, flavorful center. Dipping it into the baba ganoush, hummus, and tahini made every bite even better. One of my favorite things was that the meal was incredibly satisfying without feeling greasy or overly heavy. It was fresh, filling, and packed with flavor, but I still felt great afterward. The staff was warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly, and the service was impressively fast. They also have a great selection of Mediterranean spices if you want to bring some of those incredible flavors home. Huge compliments to the chef and the entire team. Between the fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, generous portions, and excellent service, Zait Zataar has definitely earned a spot on my list of favorite Mediterranean restaurants. I'll absolutely be coming back!

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.

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.

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.

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 food itself still great most everything was perfect. But I gotta see the customer service was not good, I was being rushed every minute the server was coming to the table, asking if I was ready to order, I mentioned to her that I was new to this cuisine and I wanted to try something new, when I ask questions she just told me to read the menu, no once they come to check if everything was OK. We order an appetizer on the menu. It says $13. She said the price was a little bit different but when the bill came, it was $33 for the appetizer and that's insane. But I was having a lunch celebration for my birthday and we didn't wanna kill the vibe so we just paid for it but we're not happy at all. So honestly, even though the food is still great, I probably will never go back there. My first experience was a five star and today it was a two star just because the food still great otherwise would be a zero star. I'm very disappointed.

Everything was pretty good, and the place had such an authentic vibe, with so many elements of Istanbul. The owners are Syrian, so the menu offers a mixture of Syrian and Turkish food. And we ordered a lot! And it was pretty expensive. We had babaganoush, dolma, içli köfte, tatziki, beyti, and Syrian kebab. I think the lady who served us was my favorite part of the experience. She was so lovely! We ordered rice pudding for dessert, and she gifted us a muhallebi as well. She makes the desserts herself, and they were SO good- 5/5 for the desserts!

Their menu has a lot of photos, which helped picture what we would get. Sarma Beyti: This is largely the reason why we came to the restaurant. My girlfriend tried this dish at another restaurant years ago and wanted to try it again; while it was my first time having it. I was truly blown away with the combination of spices, tomato, and ground beef all packed together. This also came with a salad which was seasoned but leaned to a more sour taste profile. Kebab Plate: Kebab came with hummus and for the side, I decided to get some french fries. Another great dish to alternate between with the Sarma Beyti. Noteworthy to mention that Pita Bread was included, but I couldn't remember from which dish. It was great to pair with everything else! Kunafa: This was our dessert pick to wrap up the night. The server mentioned it would take about 15 minutes to make and we were good with it. Once it came out, I was impressed with how it looked. It was cheesy and not too sweet. They also gave extra syrup on the side as well. Overall, it was a very positive dining experience throughout. As the night grew, there were more parties that showed up, which added some strain to the staff. It was apparent as the server kept apologizing for their slower service, but I had completely understood. With the level of freshness from the food, you could tell everything was crafted with attention. American Express is accepted here.
