    Chicken Shawarma Plate
    Steven R.

    Went to Cela Cafe last night for the first time very since my husband and I love Mediterranean food and are also trying to eat a bit more healthy. This place was absolutely phenomenal. Let's start with the service shall we. The two people working were incredibly helpful at helping us navigate the menu as well as providing some great suggestions. This is counter service but since we ate there on their patio they brought our food and even set real silverware and our plates down for us. Next let's talk about the ambiance. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is small but where this place shines is their back door patio. It's super cute, warm, and very inviting. The person working even turned a heater on for us.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lastly, the food. Omg delicious I had the chicken shawarma plate (pictured) and my husband had the beef shawarma plate. Both were amazing and very delicious. All in all, it was great experience and we will absolutely return.

    Absolutely loved Cela Cafe. This place is the real deal. The food is so good and genuinely authentic you can taste the care and tradition in every dish. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What really made the experience though was the energy. The vibe was warm, welcoming, and full of life.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My boyfriend and I came here and had an amazing time laughing, sharing plates, and just enjoying the moment. It felt like one of those places where food brings people together the way it's supposed to[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean food with great vibes and an unforgettable group experience, Cela Cafe is it. We'll definitely be back.

    Stopped in after the Holiday in the Park event and it was the perfect place to wind down with good food. All of the team members are friendly and make sure you're comfortable and feel welcome. They recommended the chicken kebab plate and it was a good portion to share for two. We opted to sit in the patio section in the back and it was really nice to get away from all the busy-ness in the streets and have a secluded spot to eat. Staff were attentive to keeping spaces clean and bathrooms were very nice. They were also dog-friendly!

    This sweet cafe is in the heart of Magnolia Park and it is a must visit. The staff were so warm and welcoming. There is a variety of delicious items on the menu. But the best thing about Cela Cafe is definitely the ambiance. The outdoor patio is so relaxing. It's perfect for a solo lunch or a lovely group dinner. Highly recommend this spot.

    Love Cela! My go-to is the Falafel Wrap which is full of falafel, tahini, lemon dressing, cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce. The pickled veggies on the side are *chefs kiss*. Service is fast, so it's the perfect place to grab a bite quickly to go or on a quick work break. They have lovely seating indoors or a gorgeous courtyard outside in the back. Staff is so sweet and there are so many options on the menu, including vegan - of course. Love a solid spot for falafel!

    Shakshuka Eggs

    Always had their Lunch/Dinner and finally had a chance to stop for their breakfast menu. Fantastic Mediterranean espresso with some light cookies to start. Strong and just a small bit of sweetness (a no-sweet option is available). I had the Shakshuka eggs Very reminiscent of a Huevos Rancheros and honestly, this was so much better than any huevos rancheros I've had at any Mexican restaurant. Spicy (as requested) and very savory with the perfect easy/medium egg in a cast iron. I'd eat this every morning!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]For the espresso alone in their outdoor covered back patio is cause enough for an early morning stop with my dog (yes - pet friendly!) to enjoy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I really do hope to see this place busier as the staff is some of the nicest people I've met. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Located in a private area away from the busy Magnolia road, this is a nice place to sit and relax and enjoy good food at any time of the day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I had the Mediterranean Branzino

    Yummy Mediterranean food. Had the beef schwarma wrap. Huge! Highly recommend. My husband had the falafel wrap, and said it was the best.

    HOT VANILLA LATTE MADE BY GIGI. INSANE. DESERVES A REWARD. 10/10…read more We ate here to grab a quick lunch and I needed my caffeine fix after. Debated on going to a different care but sooo glad I didn't. Not only was it one of the best lattes I've had in a hot min, she also had it ready in under 5 minutes. It was so good I had to call them to give Gigi her praise. For the food, we love their chicken kabab!! So juicy, flavorful, and a very generous serving. :)

    Wednesday, noon, July 22, 2026…read more Busy asf at lunch hour. Suggest avoiding noon time lunch rush (1:30 seemed like a good time, several tables were open by the time we were ready to go). The pick up line was loco (Seemed like 15-20 peeps in line)! It took about ten minutes for a table to vacate and another ten to wipe down. Food came out 30 minutes later. Kinda weird that the salad entree came out last after the two meat platters. It is very loud in the dining room. So many diners talking! There was no follow-up at our table. I guess it's semi-full service? It's order first at the cashier and then they serve at the table with your assigned table number. I studied the menu the night before and forgot to get extra meat with my plate! Oh well, next time. Best place to park is across the street or in the adjacent neighborhood. No problem finding a spot. Beware of street sweeping on certain days, look at the signs.

The staff were absolutely amazing asking if I needed extra additional condiments, napkins, forks, etc.. The parking is absolutely amazing as it connected to a Pavilions so there's a bunch of parking. The restaurant also had a lot of space for anybody that wants to dine in. It is extremely spacious and most importantly they have AC. Will definitely be placing an order here again for future lunch parties because the staff and the process of ordering everything was so smooth, efficient and easy. Most importantly the food was absolutely hands-down amazing. Straight Fire

    Been to the kebab shop in Irvine and enjoyed it so much. I was craving their kebab fries and it…read moredidn't disappoint at the Burbank location! Glad to know that the quality remained consistent. The kebab fries came with a good amount of meat. We ordered the lamb beef for our protein and the lamb wasn't too gamey! The meat was tender and well seasoned. The fries were crunchy and the sauces they had sealed the deal. Everything blended well together and was packed with flavor. We also got the steak chimichurri bowl. It had hummus, saffron rice, cucumbers, super greens and pickled onions. The steak was tender and the bowl was also packed with flavor. Their sauces also pair very nicely with the bowl. Service was excellent! We received our orders quickly. There is plenty of seating inside the store and it was clean! Plenty of parking out front in a shared lot with other businesses. Would highly recommend!
