Koftegi - Mediterranean Near Me - Anaheim, California

Was craving some Turkish Pide which is a Turkish flatbread usually with meat, cheese and sauce and saw this place offered it so wanted to give it a try. I tried my first one in Seattle at a place called Miss Cafe and really enjoyed it. This restaurant is located in a large plaza so there was plenty of parking. Upon walking in it was pretty busy on a Sunday around 11:30am, we were seated immediately. As we were leaving, there were plenty of people waiting for a table. Food I was hoping to order a combination juju boat but the waitress taking our order mentioned the beef is out of stock so therefore we ordered the Juju chicken pide. The flatbread was cooked nicely, the dough was thin, every bite didn't feel too heavy. However the chicken was really dry and didn't feel like there was enough sauce/cheese, ended up putting some garlic sauce on top and it made it a little better. We also ordered the combination platter which came with lamb Kofte, beef/chicken kebab and two sides. We chose hummus and salad as the two sides and it paired well with the plate. The beef was a little dry but the Kofte and chicken were pretty good. They also served us two flatbreads which was nice for wrapping the meat and dipping in hummus. The hummus tasted very fresh and clean with delicate flavors, wish it had a little more tart. Side salad was simple and fresh with olive oil and lemon juice. The Kebbah was piping hot but didn't have much flavor, think it needed some sort of sauce. Overall, the ingredients tasted very fresh and minimalistic but definitely can do with a bit more seasoning or sauce for flavor. Service was friendly and not overly attentive. The servers didn't offer any water or drinks. Almost every table had tea so we flagged down someone to place an order after ordering our meal. There was a little mishap with our order but the owner came over to the table and cleared up the misunderstanding and asked us if we needed anything. Didn't seem like they had a lot of staff for such a busy morning. The space felt very clean and very lively with the lunch rush. read more

I have been lucky enough to travel to Turkey 8 times and have always loved the food. The problem is, I have never been able to find a restaurant in the US that showcased how delicious Turkish food is. That has finally changed. Koftegi is the best Turkish restaurant I have eaten at in the states and can compete with any I've been to in Turkey. We had 4 different dishes + dessert and they were all incredible. I can't wait to go back and try more! read more

In town for a conference from Hawaii. My last review was 6 years ago!! My gosh, however, I know I have been back about 4 years ago with no review. Whenever I get a chance to visit family SoCal I make sure to stop here for their Lahmachun. Today, I brought my friend and her daughter. My friends been to Turkey and she loved it here as did her daughter. We ordered the Chef's Platter, Spicy Lahmachun, Falafel plate, and for dessert we had their Kunefe. Chef's Platter is enough for three women with Spicy Lahmachun, however, the waitstaff said it wouldn't be enough. So we ordered the Falafel plate. No worries because we were able to split the left overs for each of us. The food was amazing! All of it!! My friend has been to Turkey and she said the food here was delicious. Surprisingly, she never had Kunefe. So of course we had to order one to share. We were so full we knew we couldn't eat it all but we're here let's do it. We are the whole thing and it was better since we had tea with it! LOL So much for being full. The staff are very friendly and the upgrades they made to the restaurant is stunning. Had made designs that took two years. Absolutely stunning. My friend said, "You know this place is good & authentic it's all locals not tourist eating here." I'm so glad I found this place on Yelp 6 years ago. Thanks for another great experience and glad this restaurant is still going strong. I enjoy returning to visit whenever I'm in town. I make it a point stop for a bite. read more

Koftegi - Mediterranean Near Me - Anaheim, California

After I recently visit to Istanbul, we were craving a Turkish Breakfast. I did a Google search and Koftegi popped up. I'm glad we went. The service was excellent and the guy there explained the different things on the menu. We ordered the Turkish breakfast, with the Turkish and egg scramble. We also ordered the Lahmajun, Simit & Baklava. All I know is the food was amazing. I was stuffed, but I felt i ate healthy food. Nice combination of sweet and savory. I liked the chocolate and sesame dip and all the cheeses. The restaurant made me feel like I was still in Sultanahmed, with is Turkish lamps, teas and paintings. This trip was well worth it. We will come again for lunch or dinner for the Pide and Doner. read more

Koftegi, "maker of meat patties" is a hidden jewel tucked away in a few miles of mini malls with dozens of restos clinging to life in Little Arabia. Most of those places have their cadre of regulars despite sticky carpet and a perpetual layer of Hookah smoke floating inside at eye level. Koftegi ain't that. It's spotless and inviting. Wander in and a pleasant fellow takes one last bite of his Falafel and stands to greet you. He'll walk you to any table you like in both dining rooms. A Turkish/Arabic loop gnawed at my Western musical sensibilities until I appreciated it's calming effect. The din of Turkish spoken here will eclipse the music and the Flatscreen showing reruns of Mucize Lezzetler anyway. As you sit down and make your nest, the Host hands you a 28 page Menu that resembles a High School Year Book. There are glossy photos of everything on offer. That'll get you salivating like Pavlov's Puppies in seconds. The Meat is all Halal, so open your Paypal. The food is healthy but it doens't hurt to be wealthy as the pricing is up-market. $15.99 for a small bowl of Tabbouleh Salad. So, don't be bashful and bring a bag that's cash full. Like good Olive Oil you get as much quality as your budget can handle. On the plus side, the food is fresh, well prepared, made to order so nothing gets parched and dried out under a heat lamp. The portions are heroic and the food delicious. No matter you'll take half of it home any way to serve as a platform for your morning eggs if you can find them and still afford them. The Menu features Turkey's greatest hits. While Turkish cuisine can be complex and elegant, this is comfort food doing it's job, making you full, happy and happy you came here. There are only a couple of authentic Turkish spots in SoCal so this is definitely worth a try. The Staff: Other than the Host, there is only one waiter. The work at the tire shop must have been slow and he landed here. Never mind, you came here to eat, and good food takes time to get from the kitchen to your plate. Here it is, now yemek! The Decor: Look Mom they shrunk the Grand Bazaar. Who goes here? Pats and Ex-Pats and the odd culinary adventurer, me. The Food: You already have the idea. The food is good here. It is. Help yourself to a huge helping of Hummus. Creamy and tangy with a wading pool of excellent Olive Oil and a sprinkle of Sumac. Juggle a thin Pita the size of a Hummer Hubcap and go to town with this. A lovely Green Salad with a light Lemony Dressing rides shotgun for the Garlic Chicken Garlic Chicken were Thighs marinated in Garlic, Yogurt and the usual suspects, Sumac and Za'Atar. The mound of Chicken chunks were grilled just right. Still moist and tasty as your secret Chicken fantasy all nestled in a warm Pita to soak up the juices. This dish comes with a mound of Rice, a Roasted Tomato, a Jalapeno should you need a treat of heat and a cup of pure lip puckering Garlic Paste to slather over everything you can reach, (except your date). The Beef Shish Kabob required a construction permit. Tender Rib Eye pieces stacked up like Legos. Cooked perfectly, oozing Beefy juices and still crispy at the edges. There are lot's of choices on the Menu as long it's Beef or Chicken. Vegans need not apply. Dinner will be ample and hardy, perfect for a cold night in So Cal. You know, when it dips to 68 degrees. It's wonderful even if it's 80 degrees in the dead of Winter. Koftegi will serve you well as it's truly guzel. read more

I love this place! Their cheese pastries are everything, and I'm obsessed with their breakfast platters, simit, za'atar... basically everything on the menu!!! The service has always been great, super friendly and attentive. Sure, it can take a little longer sometimes, but that's only because everything's fresh and baked right from the oven, which I actually LOVE. so good! read more

Definitely order the boat - we chose minced meat! Other favorites were the foul (fava beans) and the kefte and beef kebab.

Came here after seeing it on Infatuation's list of Best in Anaheim -- note to self: don't trust Infatuation for OC restaurants. Food was mediocre...we ordered the Chefs platter $50, doner was out of stock, so they gave us more beef that was overcooked, best thing was chicken that was juicy and paired with a great garlic sauce. Hummus, bread, salad were standard, bland. Mini lahmacuns were sour, not sure if that was on purpose, either way did not taste good. Beef flatbread had overdone beef pieces, cheesy but not much flavor to it. Tres leches was fine, nothing amazing. Bad service...slow and unfriendly, we had to ask for water multiple times. When we asked for recommendations, he just shrugged at us. After we decided what we wanted, we found out some items we're about to order were out of stock for the night. Minus one star for service. Parking free in large lot in front. read more

This place serve absolutely the most delicious Mediterranean food. They make their own pita bread to die for. Their baklava is a dream come true.

I was there couple days ago while I was ordering idk her name but the waitress when she was taking our order I was still about to add other order beside what I ordered she goes "that's enough isn't? because it's too much" I was literally about to walk out but I was like it's whatever because I had my family with me. And their beef wasn't really good it tastes bad, ranked and gross to be honest. And me personally never again in this restaurant. read more

Koftegi - Zaatar with vegetables and labna - Mediterranean Near Me - Anaheim, California

Atmosphere: Transported! Felt like a cozy corner of Turkey. The decor and vibe were truly charming -- warm lighting, traditional touches, and Turkish music in the background set the scene beautifully. Food: Sarma Beyti - Juicy and flavorful, but price tag at $35 didn't quite match the portion or experience. Salad - Sadly underwhelming. Fresh, but no real punch of flavor. Kibbeh - Mild and a bit flat. If you're used to the bold, spiced flavors of Syrian/Lebanese kibbeh, this might feel a little muted. Service: Fast and friendly. Food came out quickly, and the staff was welcoming without being overbearing. Final Thoughts: Come for the atmosphere and a taste of Turkey. Might skip the kibbeh and salad next time, and hope for a more balanced price-to-flavor ratio. read more

I came across KofteG while I was in the Anaheim area looking for some good halal food options. I usually have a couple of go-to spots from previous visits, but this time, some of them were closed--and I felt like trying something new. So, I decided to give KofteG a shot. To be honest, the food was just okay for me. I've attached several pictures with this review so you can judge for yourself. But what stood out more than the food was the overall experience--with the owners, in particular. I placed my order through DoorDash and scheduled a pickup about an hour and 15 minutes later. When I arrived, I was surprised to find that they hadn't even started preparing the order--despite the app saying it was ready over 30 minutes ago. The owner casually told me that they don't prioritize DoorDash orders because the platform takes a 30% cut from them. He even suggested that I should've called directly instead. I asked why they're on DoorDash at all if they're not going to fulfill orders properly--it just feels misleading. Despite that experience, I decided to give them another chance the next day. This time, I followed the owner's advice and called to place my order directly. But when I arrived for pickup, I found that they had substituted my doner order with köfte--without informing me ahead of time. Apparently, they ran out of doner beef, but never thought to ask me if I was okay with the switch. It also made me wonder how they even accepted the order in the first place if that item wasn't available. Overall, I'd say it's decent food--but a poorly run business. If you decide to try it, just know what you're getting into. read more

family has been regulars here for years. we moved a little further away but still come back often enough. we've been here for suhoor, iftar, brunch, dinner, snacks. we've seen the decor and management change. it's still so good. service is prompt and helpful. decor is simple and cozy. you have to get flatbreads, manaeesh, pides whatever you heart wants to call them. no one else does cheese and spinach, and cheese and chicken (and they'll combine if you ask). my brother and i have serious childhood memories eating their unique toppings. the meat is excellent quality and juicy. wild to see the prices go up over the years. not the worst i've seen but happy to see the flatbread prices still make sense. appreciate the drink selection too, not just your typical juices and sodas. i got rose and our friend tried the laban drink and loved it. read more

You wouldn't believe a hidden gem like Koftegi exists just steps away from Disney in Anaheim! The place has that cozy, family-run vibe I absolutely love. Our server -- a family member of the Syrian owner -- was so kind, friendly, and attentive. That warm Middle Eastern hospitality you don't always find, even in Turkey! The food completely blew me away. The Iskender kebab was actually better than the one I had in Bursa, Turkey (where the dish was invented!), and the Ali Nazik was hands down the best I've ever had. I wish I could've gone back for sujuk at breakfast, but not this trip. I'll definitely be back though -- this place is special. Highly recommend! read more

Been coming here for over a year as a regular but will never come back again. The lady was slow, incompetent and didn't have the level of communications the owners usually have. We ordered something to go and communicated that it was urgent and we needed the food quick. As time went by we realized we had to go and they were not going to prepare our food in time. So we asked for a refund and she claimed it was actually done and all she has to do is get it. (Great? That would take 20 seconds top for that task). She goes in the back for 5 mins (timed). At this point we were VERY late and she had wasted our time by lying about the time then refused a refund. We couldn't argue or anything, we had to just leave empty handed... maybe it wasn't convenient for them to have a customer that's in a hurry...I get it. I do. But it did feel a bit betraying walking out empty handed with no solution, or even anything to mitigate the situation after being a regular. Like I said, the owners would never do this...and it seems like the lady I'm talking about has more than one bad review about her this week, it would be a good ROI to fire her. read more

Tried something new and really liked it. Decor is cute with Turkish lamps and artifacts. Food was also good and the chicken was not dry but overpriced for what you get. Hummus was good but the salad was pathetic. Just a little squeeze of lemon juice as dressing, so nothing special. The service was not great. The restaurant was half full and we were told our food would take some time but why isn't kitchen running on full speed on a Saturday night? Our food took 45 min to come and getting the attention of staff was difficult. Other tables were served before us even though they came in after us. I would try this place again but its not going to be a regular place we go to. read more

This was our first time trying Turkish food. The food was all delicious. Service was okay. You just grab drinks from the refrigerator. I didn't like that there were no prices listed and everything was just $2 regardless of size. I got a can of soda thinking it would be cheaper, but it was the same price as a bottle of soda. We didn't find that out until we got the bill. They gave us complimentary baklava at the end which was nice. We were here with a friend who has a garlic intolerance. Basically everything on the menu has garlic in it whether it was in the dish or the marinade, which I think is just how Turkish food is. He still enjoyed the flavors. The environment was loud during lunch with lots of Turkish families enjoying their go to spot. read more

Amazing customer service! Everything we ordered was delicious and portioned perfectly! Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

I've always had a great experience here whether it's eating here or take out. Very hospitable and friendly service. Food wise, I've never been disappointed with anything I've tried. Ultimately I always come here for the kunafah. Hands down the best I've ever had. I know other cultures make their version but to me Turkish style is the best and Koftegi makes it the best. read more

I went here because I was craving Ful Medammes for breakfast. I haven't had this particular dish in about seven or eight years and I had a craving that was something fierce. lol I was in the area so I decided to try this restaurant. Honestly, I didn't even know this restaurant existed. I thought the building was just a clothing store behold to my surprise there's a small restaurant hidden inside. To the nitty-gritty : the Ful was amazing and so flavorful that I looked up a recipe about how to make it myself, so I wouldn't have to go so long without eating it again. The service that I received was top-notch. The lady who served me made an exception and gave me some Turkish tea to go even though it wasn't really on the menu as a to go item. I felt appreciated and taken care of, and I would definitely go back. read more

What a treasure this was place is! The food is spectacular! Everything at our table was delicious and the servings were excellent! THE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR MEAL WAS THE CHEESE AND EGG BOAT! The egg sounded odd so I was skeptical but I'm sooo glad we order that one because the hint of egg in it was delicious. A bit from the boat is understandable! A detail I completely loved and appreciated was the PICTURE MENU!!! As a visual person, that was sooo cool! I wish all restaurants did this! I want to share how amazed I was about the complimentary naan bread that's served! I've never been anywhere who does these, let's lone how generous they are. This was my first time stepping away from the table with leftover naan break! THANK YOU KOFTEGI! Also, the restaurant interior is gorgeous! 100% going back! read more

After hearing so many great things about the Knefe here, today was the day we decided to try it and it was the best decision ever. Good knefe is very hard to find. Although Little Arabia has many places that serve it, I have never found the perfect Knefe until now. I called it in for pick up. The owner who answered the phone was so gracious and kind. He said 15 minutes and it will be ready and I hoped those 15 minutes went by fast. When I went to pick it up I noticed the restaurant was pretty busy. The traditional Syrian decor was the most gorgeous I have seen. Upon looking further I saw they had amazing kabobs and bakery items that included the Dubai chocolate. The staff is so welcoming and friendly. The owner once again greeted me and offered me tea while I waited. It made me feel like I was back home. Now to the Knefe. Absolutely delicious. If you are in the area and just want dessert you must go try it. It was crispy with a beautiful cheese pull. The flavors were perfect. It hit the spot. Not too sweet and for me didn't need any extra syrup. I will be coming back again and again for more goodness. read more

Been to Turkey and experienced how good were foods we enjoyed, made us drive all the way to this place. We ordered Lahmajun which basically their pizza style, tasted very authentic. And of course not to forget to order my fave dish, Iskender. The meat is dry in the outside and soft and tasty in the inside. The bread is quite generous. Service was fine. And the inside decor really makes me feel I am in Turkey, beautiful and strong of country ambiance The only downside to my opinion is the price (compared to other resto I tried) quite high. read more
