What a surprise finding this whole in the wall at midnight on a Sunday night! We were looking for a late bite after a concert and wanted to try something different. The photos don't do it justice but yall got to get this dharma and fries! It hit every note of wanting something hearty, flavorful, and fried. It even came with a drink and side of pickled veggies! I'm so glad I decided to try something new. Come by y'all!

I tried the shawarma at Kimo and it was really good. Tasty, fresh, and the service was fast. I'll definitely come back.

Kimo Shawarma is by far the best shawarma in town! The flavors are incredible, the meat is juicy and perfectly seasoned, and everything tastes so fresh. Every bite is just amazing. Definitely a must try if you love authentic shawarma! He's very generous and clean.

Beef shawarma

Little gem, you can smell it from outside. Its tucked away inside Al Baraka Restaurant. Yes it's legit, had both chicken and beef shawarma, comes with tahini, garlic dip, you can sit inside and outside. They were so quick to make and serve our food, the wrap is thin the meat was lean, servers were all helpful. You can also order from both menus, fresh mint tea too.

I've been coming to this spot for a couple of months now and I completely forgot about giving this restaurant a review till now. The food is a 10/10 and easily the best bang for your buck. I remember when I first came to eat the food after finding this spot randomly on google maps, the man running the front was very welcoming and friendly. I remember talking to him and he told me he works every night, so right off the bat I could tell that he is a hard worker who cares about his restaurant. This place is open till after midnight which is something that is quite rare and a blessing. If you're ever in the area or looking for a good place for shawarma then you should definitely check this place out.

Chicken Shwarma

The food is authentic and so good! Shwarma is super flavorful. My friend and I came out here in the middle of the night on a Shwarma craving and it was the best decision ever. The owner, Kimo, is so nice and welcoming. Can't wait to come back here again!

Shawarma!

Best shawarma in town. Epic stuff. Garlic paste better than the one my mom made Would highly recommend this place.

Great shawarma taste, the portion is more than enough with good service. The best in Orange county.

Food is always so good and flavorful! Lots of spices and a variety of flavors- salty, savory,…read morepickley... they have it all. They also have sweet treats like mango lassi which is also good and cooling after the spicy food. Being 100% honest, the people make the place even better. Every time I've come in, the people working are so generous and hospitable- offering insight and even samples for their food. The inside is also super nicely decorated and the music is "vibey" too (my bf's exact words). They moving locations to Garden Grove, but I have no doubt that their new location will be just as amazing (and probably more amazing as well). Anaheim will miss you so much!!

WOW!!! I love everything I tried here - so flavorful and delicious! First time trying Pakistani…read morefood!! It's been a while since I'm so happy with my whole order when dining out! Premium combo = entree + $10 Entree + premium drink + masala fries I tried the bowl with mild biryani, malai chicken, green (mild) sauce, and guava mango lassi. The bowl already comes with the raita sauce (a yogurt sauce), so I got the green sauce as my choice of sauce after asking the staff for recommendations. The protein portion was super generous and very well-seasoned with their spice. The green sauce was my favorite and everything in the bowl mixed well together. The whole bowl was delicious and it didn't feel heavy, wasn't greasy. The Kashmiri Chai and the guava mango lassi are the most popular drinks, so I decided to try the guava mango lassi. The flavors blended so well. One wasn't more overpowering than the other, and the sweetness level was perfect for me, also, not too much ice. Masala fries So crispy and well-seasoned!! Could be a little less salty. Gulab jamun cheesecake Also asked for recommendations for their cheesecakes and decided to go with this one. It has the fried donut ball in the middle with syrup. It didn't taste too sweet to me, but I also have higher tolerance for sweets. The center has so much of the cheesecake cheese and it was super soft and fluffy. So delicious! The samosas were also great! Crispy and not too oily. I also love that they use compostable takeout containers, including the lid! The interior looks nice and there are a few seats available. There's outdoor shaded tables and seats too. The only downside is that I wish the outdoor seats were a bit cleaner. There is a free parking garage, just make sure to park in the retail spaces. There was enough parking. The staff members are so helpful and very friendly. Can order with a staff member or using their kiosk. HIGHLY recommend!! Would definitely go back!

M JOY - Lamb ribs

Came for a casual Friday lunch with the family. Service was fast and easy with a very simple menu…read moreand the food was ready very quickly. There were only 3 main options: 1) lamb shank, 2) lamb ribs, and 3) lamb skewers. All halal and made with New Zealand lamb which was awesome! We tried all 3: one plate of the shank/ribs combination (which came with a bed of rice, pickled veggies, and a bowl of soup) and also one order of the lamb skewers which came with 3 skewers. Everything was excellent but the lamb shank was truly amazing and my favorite item - the meat was outrageously tender and just fell off the bone as I tried to take a piece - we had the shank just basic with no rub. The short ribs were a close second (we had these with the bbq rub and it was tremendous if you wanted more flavor). The skewers were decent - we had them plain because I didn't want anything too spicy but I would def recommend getting the rub for these if I were to get them again. The pickled veggies balanced the heavy meat and rice items perfectly to round out the meal. We also tried the jasmine yuzu tea drink and the homemade yoghurt which ended the meal nicely. I'm not a fan of lamb in general and generally avoid it at most restaurants, but I was loving every bite. Would highly recommend to try this place if you're looking for a quick lunch or dinner.

Came on a Sunday around 12pm and there was no wait. We were seated immediately…read more == FOOD == Our table of 4 shared 2 plates of the lamb rib/shank dish (one spicy, one non-spicy). We also got the Hokkaido Milk Tea and a Hot salty milk tea. We also got 3 lamb skewers! The rice of the plates was savory and salty and paired well with the lamb. The carrot side dish was very delicious. == SERVICE == We order through the QR code at the table. Staff are very quick to bring utensils and water to the table. Food came out pretty quickly as well. == AMBIANCE == Quite a small store, seats around 26/28 people. There is indoor and outdoor seating.

I love Yemeni food and this place promises flavorful and huge portions of just that ! House of…read moreMandi upholds their name with a cozy, traditional ambience due to their sofa-style seats. For two, we ordered the "individual portions" of Mandi Chicken (young chicken roasted with Yemeni spices) & Lalamb Haneeth (a roasted young lamb that falls off the bone). These were both served over a large platter of Mandi rice and came with Yemeni sauce and yogurt. It was expertly made, yet still gave us the warmth of a homestyle meal. The generous portions resulted in a second meal for me! On a Tuesday night, this place was quite packed with friends and families. It seems like wonderful place to host parties or business meetings. Someone nearby us had a birthday, and a group of staff came out with a dessert, blasting a traditional birthday song over the speakers and encouraged the whole restaurant to clap along! Despite the large gatherings, the restaurant is a no-reservation spot. They have a covered patio outside to seat an overflow of customers in case. Thankfully, my boyfriend and I were seated right away. They had a contactless menu, and we scanned a QR code to check our food options, but a server took our order and offered great recommendations once we waved him down. I would love to come back and try other dishes, like their grilled chicken or lamb--as well as the desserts and teas !!
