The meal was delicious. Service, very friendly and polite. Will definitely come back when in the area.

THIS IS THE BEST MIDDLE EASTERN FOOD IN THE AREA. I could go on about how good the hummus is, or the kebabs, or pretty much everything else. But what blew me away was the falafel. Like ramen, there's a cult-like-following on these things. So I've tried them everywhere. All over California... the famous food karts in NYC...and I even had them while travelling in the middle east. I never liked them a single time. The ones here though have changed by opinion completely. They are amazing, and amazingly addicting. Just like Cheetos, but in real-food form. Super flavorful, but not so much so that you're satisfied with one, you'll just eat them all and wonder when you can go back. read more

First time I tried this place! My sons choice and it was amazing! Lots of flavor in the food

Such a gem! This place I frequent often because it's right down the street from my job. I love the food here and the employees are extremely nice. The older lady who I think is part owner always make sure to prepare my food specially. I do not eat gluten soy or dairy and she makes sure to advise me as to what I can eat and even makes me chicken totally separate from everyone else's so that I don't have to have the soy. The food is delicious and it's always fresh and I truly appreciate the service I get here and not being made to feel awkward because of my dietary restrictions. As long as I work down the street I will continue to frequent Mama's Kabab! read more

Best falafel and garlic butter! During my first visit, the staff was helpful with their menu especially when I was looking for something vegetarian. Falafel was very flavorful and had the perfect crunch. Highly recommend and will visit again. read more

The food is great! The kabobs, beef, chicken and lamb are our favorites. Very flavorful and good sized portions. With Covid, they only do take out and delivery. Call before coming, I think they have changed hours. It looks like they are locally family owned--please, let's support local business. read more

Went here for lunch when I was at work a few months ago. I'm no expert on Mediterranean food but it tasted really delicious! I also felt less groggy than I do when I usually eat out. read more

I ordered the combination plate. The meat tastes salty that I have to drink water every time I had a bite. The man that helped me was nice though. read more

Explosion of authentic flavors with great service. Really affordable prices and a healthy option with loads of tasty options! Will be back soon! read more

Clean, delicious and authentic. I ordered the chicken shwarma and it was full of flavor. read more

Got the vegetarian #12 super sampler small plate. Perfect portion for like $8, yummy falafel and tangy grape leaves on a bed of lettuce. Hummus and pita average to sub par but the rest of the food was enough to be filling! While dining in, we were given some free baklava !!! Great customer service - casual but sweet. read more

Considering I have eaten middle Eastern food in the middle east, this review is based on my experience. Chicken - moist but nothing spectacular. Pickled turnips- ok Pickles I like the traditional Arabic pickles Cheese borak- not bad but u can tell it was fried a while ago. Now, for the Baklava. I was really excited about it considering all the reviews. The taste and touch of cinnamon was nice but it was BEYOND DRY. Not my cup of tea when I feel like I'm eating sand with paper. This has place has potential but I'd rather drive a little further to brookhurst for some amazing Arabic food read more

Wish I could give it more than 5 stars! The food was outstanding and so authentic and flavorful , meat was cooked to perfection , hummus was divide , different tasting but exquisite and that garlic was creamy but mild ,litterly perfect! A quiet hole in the wall but very spacious with heart warming and welcoming staff, can't wait till our next visit! read more

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

See all

Tried this for the first time yesterday and I have to say it was pretty good. Had the Chicken kabab, next time I'll try one of their rice bowls for $6.99. Looks like a great value. Humus was very tasty-not overly seasoned like some places. read more

This mom and pop place makes fresh to order delicious food! I had the chicken shawarma sandwich and baba ganoush. Soooo good. So fresh.

Was out of the area and read the yelp reviews to find a nearby restaurant so we tried the food. Have to say that the reviews were accurate. Great food - the greek salad was fresh and plentiful with a nice dressing and not overdone. The lentil soup was deliciously hot and tasty. The large sample platter offered variety and quality. It too was fresh and presented well. The iced tea was very good, not too bitter nor sweet. The service was friendly and welcoming, including the patrons. We had time and were not in a rush so it worked well for our schedule. And Evidently they provide take out as well - if you're on the go. The ambiance is casual and cheerful with bright colors. Plenty of seating with a couple of fun high top tables too. The restaurant is located in a strip mall which we prefer frequenting a standalone but this didn't detract from the experience. It almost deterred us from going to the restaurant and happy to have gambled on the venue as this was also a day of celebration and it could have gone south, but it didn't. In fact, this food is better than our local mediterranean restaurant. If We are in the area again, will return for sure! read more

Such a great restaurant, everything is so fresh and tasty. I couldn't stop eating the baba ganoush it was so delicious, the hummus was also fantastic, my daughter and I ordered the large combination, which fed us for 2 days. The homemade sausage, chicken and beef were cooked perfectly, the owners were very nice and helpful, we will definitely be back!!! read more

We had a fantastic experience with Mama's Kabab. They brought out cut pita's and hummus to start while we waited for our food. It was fantastic. The chicken shawarma sandwich is delicious. It's a lot of sandwich for only $5.00. We also had the chicken kabob and beef platters with rice and they were excellent. The meet is flavorful and tender and the grilled vegetables add to the taste. We kept cycling through the fresh pitas and hummus quickly and they would just bring more. The owners are very nice and even gave us some rice pudding and baklava for dessert free of charge. I can't recommend this place enough. read more

Pretty good for a hole in the wall place, and the owner gave us some free bakalva for dessert! Ordered a typical meal from a Mediterranean place: lamb kebabs, hummus, pita bread. It took forever for the food to come out though, even though there were only two people waiting for tables there. read more

Not very good... chicken shawarma isn't really shawarma. No rotisserie in sight. Grape leaves and hummas were good

I honestly don't get all of the 5 stars on here. Maybe because the prices are decent but nothing to come back for. I had the chicken kabob plate, which was good, but not great. Also we received such terrible customer service. The man behind the counter seemed lazy and defensive when they forgot our order. And the lady didnt seem to give two sh*ts. No thanks, this place is really convenient but I'd rather drive 30 min for better food and service. read more

Enjoyed a few "have to try again" dishes here. My favorite at this point is still the chicken shawarma over seasoned jasmine rice, I had the shawarma over salad once, which is very good, but still prefer the shawarma over the rice. Afterwards I go for the Arabic coffee with a slice of Mama's homemade baklava. Fresh, tasty and addicting. Had it about 4 or 5 times already. This place is a real treat! read more

My son and I ate there several months ago. While the food was authentic and good, the middle eastern TV stations blaring drove me crazy. Why does the owner think that the average American wants to listen to a channel which we can't even understand? Do you have the TV blaring on these channels for the customers enjoyment or your personal entertainment. They clearly don't understand that the customer is king. Unfortunately I haven't been back. read more

I actually found this place on yelp looking for hummus. I was not let down at all. I ordered online and it was ready when I arrived. I ordered the hummus with meat and without wit pita bread. DELICIOUS! I will be back read more

Been coming here for a couple years now with the wife and you can never go wrong with MaMa's Kabab! Her food is just sooooo damn Good! I get the #9 large plate and that has rice grilled veggies, steak, chicken and Kafta with the white sauce. We are greeted with warm smiles from Papa and Mama all the time and they give us fresh Hammus and pita bread, pickled veggies and at the end Papa brings us the best tasting BAKLAVA ever! They keep their flavors of their food consistent and that's very important to me which lets me know they care about their costumers and just the quality of food they serve. Bravo Mama and Papa! Bravo! Love you folks! Aloha! read more

It was my first time EVER trying Mediterranean food. The chicken was seasoned very well and it complimented the rice that was served with it. I got the bowl and it was still a lot of food. Very good! The restaurant is very clean and I love the colors inside. Very open and friendly environment. read more

My go-to Armenian/Mediterranean restaurant. Their kebabs and shawarma are to die for. Their hummus is some of the smoothest, most delicious I've ever tasted. Store-bought hummus is garbage compared to Mama's hummus. The baklava is heavenly. Their seasoned rice pilaf is delicious. The menu is basic, simple and makes ordering hassle-free. They do have a few "extended" menu items you to order which aren't on the marquee above the registers. I highly recommend this place! read more

Delicious. Cooked to order. Excellent service. Hummus is a must. Chicken shwarma is tender & flavorful. Rice is fluffy and cooked perfectly. The icing on the cake...the garlic sauce on the side!! Yummy!!! Free baklava for dessert. ..yes please!! A new favorite :-) Don't be put off by the non-decor, the food is the shining star!! read more

The chicken kabob plate was so good, everything was amazing, the food taste really good.

I went to Mama's Kabab yesterday for the first time. I work a couple blocks away and eat lunch in this area five days a week. I ordered the Beef Shawourma and honestly didn't expect too much out of it. I've had this type of cuisine before and generally I enjoy some good protein with rice, pita, and hummus. I was surprised with how much flavor the beef had. The seasoning was great and the beef quality was pretty good. I cleaned my entire plate and also polished off all of the hummus. I will definitely come here regularly. read more

Food was just ok. Lentil soup was pretty disappointing. I didnt have a single lentil in it, just broth, herbs and carrots. Pita bread was store bought, they didnt even try to warm it up. rice didnt have that authentic middle eastern taste. More like store bought boxed easy yellow rice. Hummus was decent. Meat was salty and dry. Not at all as good as the other reviews claim. They seemed short handed and needed to hire more staff. Maybe this is the best Stanton has to offer for ME and Turkish food, but this for sure is not at all what you should be writing home about. Wont be back. read more

Wasn't sure about this place but decided to check it out. Came in with low expectations. The food was very good. It was cooked by a sweet middle eastern lady and the food tasted just like home cooked meal. Everything was fresh. Their coffee was also really good. read more

Oh my goodness! Like everyone else, I found this place on Yelp. Also like everyone else, I found it to be INCREDIBLE!!! I walked in at about 8pm on a Wednesday. My first impression was that it was VERY clean. No sticky tables, no dirty floors, nothing. I ordered the chicken shawourma plate and a lentil soup. Everything took about five to ten minutes to make. After I paid, Mama even gave me a free baklava! She was so sweet! The two men that greeted me were very pleasant, as well. I got my order to go, so I drove home. I opened it all up and it looked great and smelled great...but man oh man...everything was just excellent. The chicken was so flavorful (I agree with a previous reviewer, eat it with the rice to cut down on how strong it is) and the grilled onions were great. The rice was delicious. The hummus....oh the hummus!! So smooth and creamy and YUM. Nice soft pita bread, as well...just wish I got two slices instead of just one, as I had some leftover hummus. It came with a little garlic sauce that everyone seems to be raving about...it is very strong, and I'm sure it would be good if I knew what to put it on...but I just feel like for my plate, everything already was seasoned how I liked it :) The plate came with pickles, as well. My lentil soup was good, and it had carrot chunks in it. The baklava (which I had never had until tonight) was fantastic. Not that I expected anything less, after reading all of the reviews here...but it was sweet and cinnamony and flaky and I just loved it! Can Mama adopt me? I'd love to eat this every night! read more

The platters come with pita bread, hummus, and pickled veggies as an appetizer and baklava for dessert. The food was really good. I had the #9 beef, chicken, and ground beef kabos with rice and grilled veggies. The owners are very nice and service was great. read more

Looooooove mama's kebab!!!! I always get the chicken and beef shwarma combos. I love the hummus, pitas are great but most of all the chicken and beef are sooo good. I've tried a lot of Mediterranean restaurants lately, and there's always something disappointing about them. However, mama's kebab has got it right. The flavors are on point. Love that garlic sauce as well. Idk if I just haven't seen any, but I wish they had some hot sauce available just to add some spice. Portion sizes are great and prices are decent. Just writing this review makes me wanna go get some right now lol read more

I have been to this spot multiple times and it's one of the best places to eat! This time around I ordered the chicken shawourma plate (honestly I order this about 75% of the time haha) which is item #7! I recommend the plate or the sandwich as both are fantastic! I also recommend pairing it with their home made baklava dessert as it is amazing! There is plenty of parking near the restaurant with also plenty of additional things that you can do in the area (like shopping, golf, etc). The place is owned by a great couple who is always their to greet you with a smile! You won't be disappointed at Mamas! read more

One of the best restaurants in OC Really chip price for really good food ! Highly recommended!! read more

Just tried this place today with some coworkers. First, let me say that I am middle eastern so I am pretty picky about my mediterranean cuisine. The food was delicious!!!! I got the chicken kabob and I loved it. Very healthy and tasty. Everything tasted juicy and fresh. Service was excellent, the couple was very sweet and accomodating. They came over to check if we needed more of anything. For just over $10 I got a drink, hummus and pita, a kabob plate and they even gave us dessert! What a deal!!!! read more
