Small, family owned place. Older man and woman were the only 2 working. He seemed genuinely happy to be there! Took about 30min for our order to be ready, we walked in and ordered. They made our food on the spot, we took it to go. It was still hot when we got home. I got the #9 combo small platter and my husband got the #7 chicken schwarma plate. We also got a side of grape leaves. Everything is so good. I wanted to try the different meats and wasn't disappointed by any of it! Hummus is sublime, roasted veggies, rice, pita bread, all of it delicious. The small was enough for both of us to have another meal as leftovers. Please go visit this place if you like Mediterranean food. I'd hate to see it close, it was empty inside except for another group of 2 taking their food to go as well (it was also Valentine's day but still). Oh and don't skip on the baklava, it's one of the best I've had! (Didn't last long enough to take a photo) read more

Mama's Kabab - #9 small Combo Platter - Mediterranean Near Me - Stanton, California

After reading other reviews I was shocked that there was no one else there at 5pm on a weekday. I expected it to be out the door, and after eating there, it should be. I can't say enough about the flavor and texture of the meats, delicious. I wasn't into the salad because the dressing has no flavor at all, basically just tasted like oil. The deserts are out of this world as well. Service is excellent. Very friendly and helpful staff. Food came out fast too. This is a small family restaurant and that's exactly the vibe you get when you walk in. I'll definitely be going back next time I'm in town. read more

A clean Armenian / Mediterranean restaurant it's family owned. Came in with my wife as she wanted to eat some kafta kabobs and I ordered the chicken shawarma looks like a lot of locals come in to pick up their orders. Food was delicious and flavorful they do not cook unless you order what you want so it gets hot and mouth watering. The only takeaway is they don't have air conditioning so it's warm inside but cold outside because we came in the month of January. read more

Staff was amazing, we got the Family size for 6ppl which was good portions and very delicious. I will recommended it to every one !!! read more

Very pleasant staff. Nice and clean. You can tell they appreciate the business from their customers. First time here had the Mediterranean salad and chicken kabob entree. I expected something a bit different from the salad but ill have to check out the other options next time. The chicken was delicious as was the rice and hummus. Was given a complimentary baklava while we waited which was sooooo good. Food took a while but they are literally making it when you order it so it's nice and fresh. Will return for sure. read more

Nothing special. Flavor was ok small portions rotten onion in my food but just picked it out. When I picked up my food the place did not look very well lighted smelled dingy and not one person was there at noon on a Friday. Won't be coming back. The lady at the register was not very friendly or welcoming at all. Didn't say one word to me after I said my name and that I had a phone order. read more

Mama's Kabab is a family-owned restaurant stationed in a decent strip mall. The place has a cafeteria feel to it, nothing fancy, there is a TV on the wall on mute. The service is great and friendly. The front desk takes your order and delivers it to your table. We see many takeout orders, or small groups of friends and family getting together for a casual meal. Hope the couple who run it hang in there, their food has a home-made quality, it is the only place where the kababs are authentic, really tender, cooked to perfection and the lamb shank does not smell strange. We love coming here when we are in the area. The restaurant closes on Sundays and from Christmas to January 2nd. read more

Great Steak Kabobs! Tender and marinaded for perfect flavor. Best in Southern California!

Such a great local Mediterranean spot! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Everything tasted homemade, from the tender meats to the vibrant sides. Portions were generous, service was friendly, and the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. Definitely a go-to spot when you're craving quality Mediterranean food read more

Firstly, the owner is very friendly, we went in nearing closing time, which we didn't realize. He took our order, we had a nice chat. The chicken kabob skewer plate was delicious. Very well done, not rushed and juicy. We would be regular here now that they offer both small and large portions. The new owner has upgraded the interiors as well. Looks very neat and I was impressed, the restroom is too well upgraded for a restaurant. Keep up the hardwork and we will be back soon. Thank you ! read more

Good homemade food but prepare to wait! Phone in your order for faster service. I always see the lovely couple working and yes they do work at their own pace but the food tastes simple yet delicious. I had the chicken kabob plate and the chicken kabob sandwich/wrap and it always hits. Garlic sauce is a must. Hummus was good for dipping chicken and pita bread in. Pickled veggies gave the meal a nice acidic component. The chicken sandwich had fresh lettuce and onions and tomatoes with garlic sauce. I've had the samplers plate and every thing has a homemade look and taste. Price are very fair compared to other kabob places. I love coming here and supporting the elderly couple! read more

I've been coming here for years. The staff are always friendly and the food is delicious.

Used to love this place .... Ordered tonight and as soon as we opened our food I thought this looks wrong.... The garlic was runny, the hummus tasted so weird, the chicken kabab tasted very different, my husband said his schwarma sandwich was terrible..... the rice was gross.... So I came here to see what happened... New Ownership happened .... Man what a bummer. One of my favorite places and it's ruined. Please change the name because it's now an insult to the original owners. Oh... and the baklava ...... I spit it out. Seriously do better. Not to mention the prices went way up as well! You've lost our family as customers. We won't be back. read more

The service here is really good. I came here with a few friends to try it out under the new ownership. The whole place had been renovated and looks great. All of the food we ordered tasted high quality and didn't skimp on the portion sizes. The falafel tasted freshly made and was fried per order. I also got the lamb shank entree and it was a proper shank with zero gaminess. I would highly recommend this place to anyone curious. read more

Food and services are outstanding, very welcoming staff, food was so delicious, I tried like 7 places in the area this is the best, will definitely come back. Big thanks to the store manager. read more

Another hidden gem in a strip mall, this time in Cypress. The outside looks older and the menus/signs not well maintained, but don't let that deter you from trying Mama's Kabab. Ordered the combo plate with salad which had kafta kebab, chicken kebab and I think beef shawarma with a generous serving of salad and hummus as well as pita and garlic sauce. The chicken and beef were both fantastic; both tasty and tender. The only complaint I have is the kafta kebab was a little overcooked and thus dry. The pita was okay but also a little dry. Reasonable price for a generous portion. Team is quiet but welcoming. Would definitely come back if in the area. read more

My favorite place ! I normally order chicken kebabs with salad and the homemade baklava is sooooo tasty.

They are trying hard what it is not good. Value is there but the service and taste is not. Gyros does not come in a tortilla or with pickles. The food took forever to get ready. The was only one person in front. There are way other good options or there read more

1. The lamb meat was so soft that I can pull it off the bone with a plastic fork! The coffee tasted good and rejuvenating! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes with lots of seatings! 3. The staff were friendly and prepared my order within 10-15 mins! Note: Due to inflation, all food items are $1 more than the price listed on the wall menu! The additional dollar did not apply to my coffee! Photo: Lamb Shank and Arabic Coffee read more

I believe the place is now under new ownership. Went the other day to pickup a catering order, as we normally do during our staff meetings. Was surprised to get back to the office and see there were no veggies served with the meat trays, and not a single garlic sauce. The hummus used to be so unique and good, and they've changed it. So sad to see such an amazing place go downhill so quickly. Won't be ordering from them again. read more

What a great little spot! My coworkers and I love getting lunch from here! Their portions are insane, enough for two! You can tell they really care about the food. Flavor is on point! Their baklava is a must! read more

Food was delicious. Best hummus I've ever tasted. Everything is made to order so it's fresh and hot. The gentleman that took our order and made our food was very kind. If you're in the area, stop by! It was quiet during weekday lunch time but food and service were great, I would hate to see a family owned business like this go. read more

I'd give this place a Michellin star, I love the food here!! great Mediterranean cuisine. We ordered #9 platter and ate everything. So good! I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Amazing food, great atmosphere, and great service. I would give them ten stars if I could.

I have been an avid fan of this restaurant for years. My expectations are always met. The food is always delicious, I have nothing but respect for how hard they work to make sure that my orders are always done quickly and accurately. I always do take out so I have no reference to what it's like to eat at the restaurant. I do see that they have large orders being picked up often so it's not only me who enjoys this tasty menu. I love the lamb kabobs plate and the chicken kabobs as well. the falafel is to die for! read more

CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS. We love the food and that's why it pains me that this is now the second time this happened and I have to leave this review. Like I stated the food is great. The service however and the cleanliness was not of the top tier. Couple months back, we noticed how the older man behind the counter was adding a dollar here, and a dollar there on our bill. We didn't think much of it then and just thought it was maybe because we wanted no rise or because we decided to eat there and not to go. So we never said anything. The rag they use for the tables was soaked and just laying next to the soda machine. Waiting to be used over and over on different tables. This made us uncomfortable so we wiped our own table before siting down. A couple months later and we are back. Same thing again. It clearly said 10.99 for a plate that we ordered and 1.99 for 2pc baklava on the board behind him. I paid just to see later that he up charged us again. So when we asked he said no it's tax. People were waiting in line and I didn't want to make a 'scene'. So I just shook my head and sat back down. It cleared says on the receipt what was charged and how much and tax on top of that. So annoyed and frustrated that he did that and we even tipped a good 20% made me loose my appetite. Food came out and we ended up taking it with me home. We came here to show our support but definitely won't be back. read more

The food here is good. I used to come here since 2017 for Mediterranean food because it was really good back then and it was accessible. However, the old man can ruin your experience. He was getting frustrated and raising his voice, pointing to my phone and flinging his arms about how he didn't understand the DoorDash order I placed and insisted that I contact DoorDash myself in front of many other customers in line. While the lady who was working with him apologized instead of him, I still had to deal with the public humiliation and also had to pay the difference between the price discrepancy displayed on their DoorDash and their menu. Due to this incident, I don't feel comfortable visiting anymore. But I will miss the food! read more
