The chicken shwarma was quite dry. If it wasn't for the garlic sauce it would have been a wastes purchase.

I've recently been open to trying Mediterranean food and I have been missing out for the longest time!! I would say it is my new go to now haha. I came here for lunch and I ordered the beef kabab and oh my.. it was amazing. This is exactly homemade mom and pop ingredient. It came out hot and ready to be eaten. The beef was very tender and savory. It came with rice, pita, garlic, and hummus for only $10.99! The owners said that all dishes came with pita and hummus which is awesome. Everything felt overwhelming with flavors and portions. You can share it amongst two people. My girlfriend ordered the chicken shawarma sandwich and that was bomb! Chicken, lettuce, garlic, and beets was def on point! It was only $5.99..I'm having withdrawals right now as I'm typing this review. It was my first time here and we had to compliment the owners. I definitely would come back here next time if I'm in the area. read more

No place can top Mama's kabobs. There's no other sauce that is similar to their house made Garlic Sauce. I don't know what about it, but I can't find any other place that has a similar sauce that taste so good with everything than this place. Family owned, always the same man and lady running the show and they are so kind and even helped us give a name to their delicious garlic sauce. Their meat is always tender if you get the kabobs, never have gotten it over done which shows they take pride in the food that goes out. Now their HUMMUS, sooooo earthy and thick, topped with a little bit of flavored. Nothing like it which pairs well with their soft nan bread. And to top off an already flavorful meal is their baklava, which is an perfect amount of sweet and crunch. Easy parking in the plaza and VERY affordable prices for the best food! read more

Mama's Kabab - Chicken Kabab - Mediterranean Near Me - Stanton, California

Pretty good kebab with good portion. They have raised the price quite a bit, but that's normal to survive these days. Good kofta, good hummus, it won't disappoint. read more

5 stars on food, service and ambiance! I've been there many times... consistently excellent. read more

It is the best place I've been. Perfect food, drinks , and atmosphere. The service is top tier. Definitely recommend!

Don't judge a book by its cover. With that being said, you can easily pass up this hole-in-the-wall Mediterranean place because, in all honesty, it doesn't look appealing from the exterior and is a little dated inside. But you will be surprised to find that their food is delicious. I had the platter which comes with all the meats and hubby had the lamb shank. He was very impressed with the tenderness of the lamb. He did not detect any gaminess or strong smell of lamb. Overall, I highly recommend this place. read more

THEEE BEST BAKLAVA! my favorite spot when I'm in the are, no other baklava compares! The flakiness mmmmm

All I can say is just WOW Amazing. The price and the flavor are unmatched. The owners are the sweetest people. Definitely coming back and trying out more food. Looking for something with a home cooked style & flavor to it ? come here !! read more

So so so good. Everything they make is fantastic. If you want authentic, made with love Greek food, Mama's is IT.

06.22.2018 Came here with my friend for lunch and to catch up. The place is located in a small strip mall and is a decent size restaurant. It had about 7 tables. As we sat eating for almost three hours we watched quite a bit of people come in and out. The restaurant was clean and it looked as if it was a family-run operation--Mom at the register, Dad cleaning off tables, younger ladies in the kitchen and bringing food out. I ordered a beef shawarma sandwich. The pita tasted fresh and homemade, about the size of a medium flour tortilla (8" or so) because it was thin and not too thick as I've had from other restaurants or stores. I was famished so of course I inhaled it and I didn't slow down to take a picture of the inside of it. But it was about the size of a burrito and was filled with a lot of meat, all the way to the last bit of pita wrap drenched with sauce. There was lettuce, tomato and raw onions (eww! I forgot to ask for no onions) as well as a pickled vegetable. My friend and I shared a small order of hummus and pita, which both tasted homemade and fresh. Of course we didn't even get a chance to finish it. We shared one order of the baklava, which was good. Nothing spectacular, maybe the puff pastry could've been cooked a little longer to have a more golden color. Oh wait, I forgot to take a picture of it before we ate it. Dang it! ‍ It was a good place to try. Not sure if it would be a place we'd come back to though.... read more

Mama's Kabab - Chicken Kebab plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Stanton, California

I was craving this type of food and this place satisfied my craving! We came about a little over an hour before closing. Both ordered the combo platter and hummus was included. The food took quite some time to come out... good thing while waiting they provide the hummus and pita bread. The pita bread was okay. The hummus was good. After almost finishing that up the food finally came out. Well one dish.. then maybe 5 mins later or so the last dish. Food was very good and refreshing. I got the salad with it and it was so good. The food was great, the wait for it took forever and afterward my stomach wasn't so happy... it was just me but my stomach wasn't happy with it. So minus a star for waiting and the upset stomach. BUT other than that come support your ma and pop shop! read more

Great fresh taste, generous portions, healthy, and wonderful value for an authentic Mediterranean meal. Happy to have this family owned restaurant in my neighborhood.

Mama's Kabab - Combo Platter - Mediterranean Near Me - Stanton, California

Well, I just moved back into the area and searched for Mediterranean food. This place showed up, and I'm so glad it did. Walking in and staring at the menu, the lady greeted me. I told her it was my first time, and she welcomed me immediately. The hospitality she gave showed her love for her food, customers, and how she is as an overall person. I got the chicken shawarma plate! Let's say it was so good! I'm usually a picky person with meat, but this had such good flavor and excellent quality. The hummus, rice, and veggies were also so amazing. Thank you again for a beautiful experience! I'll be back again! read more

Some of the best and most affordable Lebanese food I've ever had! We had tabouli, and chicken kabob. It was very fresh and as well done as any of the very expensive Lebanese restaurants I've experienced around the world. The woman who owns this restaurant was so kind to me and my family. Bonus - My kids loved it and said they would rate it 100! read more

We had a wonderful meal at Mama's Kabab. It is in a strip mall and was very clean and had easy parking. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal (Chicken Shawarma Plate and a Falafel and Hummus Plate). The portions were large, the quality was fantastic and the food was great. The owner surprised us with a delicious order of baklava that topped off a very nice meal! We are traveling for work and wanted something home-cooked, but not in a sit-down, formal restaurant. Mama's Kabab was delightful and we will return in the future when we're in town! read more

Mama's Kabab - Mediterranean Near Me - Stanton, California

I just ordered here for the first time and it is the best Mediterranean food I've had since moving to this area. The tabouli was very good, most places don't add enough lemon in my opinion, but there's was very good. Service was great, very nice and welcoming staff. I also got the super sampler plate which was amazing and a side of rice. Everything was presented great even in the to go containers. Definitely will be coming back with my husband. read more

How did I find this place now???? I passed by this place so many times not knowing and I finally tried it to be mind blown!!!! Don't be fooled by their quiet and dark entrance. I want to have the rice and meat everyday. day and night. Lunch and dinner. I get sudden cravings for Mediterranean foods or kababs or even just simply lamb! Now I know where to go to! Only bad thing is that they are closed on Sundays. But I'm so grateful for this new finding. It's a must try and must go place. read more

Ordered over door dash today! I got lamb plate and my boyfriend got the beef plate. It comes with rice, meat, grilled tomato/peppers/onion, hummus, pickled radish & pickles, pita bread, and GARLIC SAUCE. Each dish was $12-13! Pretty good deal. The meat was super tender for both! The hummus is SO GOOD! So smooth and flavorful. The garlic sauce is better than Zankou. Delicious. Would love to order or dine in one day! read more

We and our friends have been here several times and among us have ordered many things on the menu. Some of our favorites are the lentil soup, cheese borak, shrimp salad, sampler plate, and chicken shawarma. No trip is complete without the homemade baklava. The couple who own the restaurant are pleasant. read more

The food is delicious. It is a hidden gem. I order the chicken kabab all salad. Yummy!

Located at the corner of Knott and Katella in the ShoeCity and Daiso plaza where Stanton and Cypress unite sits some some true local flavor ran by a mom and pop couple. This plaza has been undergoing construction forever and a da so the outside is quite a mess. If your not looking for Mama, then chances are your never going to meet her. Or unless your yelping some place to eat, you will never come across Mamas Kabob. Parking has never been a problem in this plaza for me, just look away from the mess and tight spots or park further away and walk. We were hungry, but not to hungry for a big meal on a late Saturday afternoon. Upon arrival your greeted by an older gentlemen, who is a little bit on the slow side processing orders and isnt very talkative. Cash or credit is accepted, then your sent on your own to find a table and he then will bring your order out to you once Mama makes it fresh. Since everything is made to order it takes about 10-15 minutes to get your food. Fountain drinks with free refills are all self serve, and bottled drinks are also available. The beast and I both ordered the chicken kabob wraps which consisted on the wrap slithered with the secret garlic sauce, freshly cooked chicken juicy kabob chunks, middle eastern pickles (the purple ones) some lettuce, sliced tomatoes and some onions and rolled together perfectly. It was pretty good. After eating the wraps, the older gentlemen dropped off some freshly made baklava for us to eat which somehow disappeared quickly before I got a chance to finish mine. While eating inside a visual impaired woman entered with her precious pet companion and her family. They made their way across the restaurant and settled down at one of the tables, and the guide dog nestled itself against the wall and layed quietly without a peep. I was happily impressed that the owners never said anything to them even though I could tell they probably never had a dog in their establishment before and were not exactly thrilled. Mama just peeked over the wall, looked at the good boy laying quietly turned on an additional kitchen fan and left it at that. I was very impressed on how they handled the situation. Food is on spot, inexpensive $5 something wraps and $10 meals. read more

Mama's Kabab - Mediterranean Near Me - Stanton, California

This place is arguably the best executed version of a mom and pop, brick and motor Mediterranean joint I've been to in recent memory. I look for three things at a joint of this sort, as I know it's of priority from the kitchen's stand point. #1. The rice = sublime fluffy, garlicky, thumbs up #2. The complimentary humus+olive oil w/flat bread, equally good, the oil is vegetal, sharp, not stale, a rarety for lunch service. #3 saltiness of grilled meats, which indicates preservation method and overall turnover rate of lunch service, aka "it tasted so fresh!!!" rating of a place that grills raw meat 100's of lbs per week. Service, location, real-estate (high, spacious ceilings) too = 5 stars. Yup, I'm going back, five savory stars. read more

Mamas Kebab serves up wonderful Armenian Syrian style cuisine. They have great stuffed grape leaves, kebabs and wraps. The owners are very friendly and kind people and I try to visit this place even though I don't live in the area. My hope is that they expand the menu to include the legendary Syrian dish " kabob Bil Karaz " which is sweet and spicy lamb/ beef meat balls in cherry and pistachio sauce. Overall a great cafe in central OC read more

While searching for a new mediterranean place, Stephen came across Mama Kabab. First thing he noticed was the great reviews and high yelp stars. It was a lazy Saturday, and we had absolutely no lunch plans. Did we want pizza? or asian? or soup? Then we remembered Mama's Kabab! Half hour later we arrived at 2:00 pm for a late lunch, and was greeted by perhaps "Mama" herself? I couldn't decide if I wanted the chicken kabab or the beef kufta so I got the combo. It looked like a lot of food (and in a way it was) but it wasn't as much as I thought for $12.99. They gave 3 cubes of chicken, 3 cubes of beef, and 2 strips of kufta with vegetables, a serving of rice, and 2 quarter pita covered with a red pickled type paste or sauce on top. Reminded me of a pizza without cheese or topping, only it wasn't tomato paste, and it had a kick! In addition, for eating in, they gave us a basket of pita, a serving of hummus and a dish of pickles on the house. The chicken was tender but not overly juicy, as was the beef cube. I guess being fresh off the grill, I expected it to be jucier. The kufta was tender but also not juicy. Perhaps too lean? Hence the -1 star for the meat. Stephen had the lamb shank, which was a huge whole shank, also for $12.99, plus a vegetable type stew in a bowl, and rice. The broth of the vegetable stew was so good, we ladled it all over our rice. Toward the end of our meal, the older gentleman came by with 2 pieces of baklava, complimentary dessert on the house. I don't remember getting a garlic sauce, but perhaps its extra? Regardless, the food was delicious, and I'd go back again. I'd ask for my kufta to be cooked a little less, and maybe that'll make it more juicy. The meal for 2 came to about $30 Opened every day until 9 pm, except on Sunday when they close at 5. read more

Food was on time and was good. Safety and service was lacking. It was hard to communicate with them on the phone and I could tell he was losing patience (which isn't what this review is about). When I got there, the man was sitting behind the counter just eating and stared at me. I said I was here for pick up. He didn't get up, just said ok. Waited for the lady to come out (not one of them wearing masks mind you) and she handed me my food. No one washed their hands before dealing with the food. No one wore masks. They didn't seem happy that I was there. Just wanted some standard service, nothing extraordinary. I understand these times are tough, but as a business owner myself, upholding good customer service and having courtesy hasn't fleeted in the face of this pandemic. read more

Its been a long while since I've been here and as usual the food is great!

An order of sabouska- (meat pies) and The baklava is thee freshest and tastiest that I've ever had, YUM read more
