    Shish tawook plate plus one additional skewer of Chicken
    Jim K.

    Came in to order chicken and was taken back by the hospitality and size of plate. I ordered a chicken plate with an extra skewer of Chicken and side of Baba ganouch. The plate came out loaded with two skewers of chicken on a large bed of rice with a salad and Hummus. I over ordered but it was ok. We took some food home and the quality and quantity really make you want to return. Solid service , great food quality and quiet seating area was a great way to relax after a long week.

    Mixed pita beef and chicken extra pickles so Good

    Food very good fresh food made to order. I Like the pita is cut up in small size bites. Fries have the best seasoning. Reddish pickles are my favorite and the had them. Service the owner was helpful and nice

    chicken shawarma plate
    Andrea C.

    I stopped by today to try out this new shawarma spot. As someone Lebanese who's grown up around really good food, I'd say this place is pretty solid. We ordered a beef shawarma sandwich and a chicken shawarma plate. The beef sandwich, which came with fries, was tasty. The chicken plate included salad, rice, and hummus--the salad was fresh and flavorful, the hummus was just okay, and the chicken itself was a little on the dry side. To be fair, we came toward the end of the day, so the shawarma wasn't as fresh as it would be earlier. Since shawarma is best when it's cut straight off the spit, I'd recommend coming earlier in the day for the best experience. Overall, definitely a good spot worth trying!

    New Syrian restaurant that's a gem!! I ordered the chicken shawarma and it comes with side of fries, garlic sauce, cole slaw and veggies. The fries had a dash of cumin on top just like they make it in the Middle East. SO good and really crispy. The chicken shawarma was cooked to perfection with little pieces of extra chicken generously placed on top. My only con is the type of bread they use for the sandwich, it's good just not great. Big overall big plate for $12. It's worth it, not too expensive. The workers and owner are super nice. Area is clean and the front and back door are open so there is a great amount of fresh air coming in. There's also a patio with a prayer mat, just beautiful!

    All this for $28. We can only finished half!

    What a gem. Great value and delicious food! Ordered the mixed kabobs plate and everything was great. Love the flavor in the rice too.

    Obaid Kitchen has a soft opening so I gave it a try. The Kofta kebab and chicken shawarma were delicious. Their humus was very tasty and the rice has a good fragrance. The staff were friendly and helpful. Food took a while to come out. Ambiance is casual and comfortable. Can't wait to try their other dishes next time.

    Great food, good service, and clean. Everything was made fresh and good to go. 100% would recommend.

    Absolutely love my experience at this Mediterranean restaurant. Warm and welcoming atmosphere, the staff were incredibly friendly. The food was the highlight fresh flavourful, and beautifully presented. I tried Hummus, Tabbouleh, Kebbeh,Shawerma, and Knafeh, everything tasted authentic and homemade. If you are in Orange county and craving something different and delicious, this place is a must-visit. I will definitely be coming back!

    Shawarma "sandwich"/wrap

    In my opinion, this business is misusing the Too Good To Go app in a way that feels intentionally deceptive. They advertise a "$15 shawarma sandwich" available for $5 -- but what I received was clearly not a discounted version of their regular sandwich. The portion was tiny -- nowhere near the size or quality of a $15 item. When I called the restaurant to clarify, the staff openly told me they make smaller sandwiches specifically for Too Good To Go orders. That's not just disappointing -- it's misleading. The purpose of the app is to reduce food waste by helping businesses sell leftover, unsold food at a discount -- not to create mini, low-cost versions of products just to appear like you're getting a deal. If they want to sell snack-sized sandwiches for $5, that's fine -- but they should advertise it honestly. Instead, they're making customers think they're getting a $15 sandwich at a discount, when in reality, they're just getting a scaled-down version with no real savings. I ordered three sandwiches thinking I could feed my family -- but each one was barely the width of a few chopsticks. Everyone was disappointed and still hungry. Too Good To Go is used by a lot of people who are trying to stretch every dollar -- people who are relying on the app not just for convenience, but because they need an affordable way to feed themselves or their families. That's what makes this so frustrating. It's not just a disappointing sandwich -- it's a business taking advantage of people who may be financially vulnerable, all while pretending to offer a deal. That's not just misleading -- it's unethical.

This place is like you're eating at their home from food in their kitchen. Home cooked feel, amazing quality and tasting food, and TLC to boot. Service was fantastic. 10 stars !!!!! Wish I took a picture of the lamb plate. It was so beautiful! Oh and i'm a big eater and I would consider it really big portions as well! Can't go wrong.

    We've given this place two different tries, with both being terrible. We ordered this a few years…read moreago and the spanakopita was dry and tasteless. I should've known better, but I remember the soup being pretty good and since it's in our neighborhood, thought we'd give it one more try. We did a togo for $60 and we were basically given garbage, so old and past its prime, everything should have be in the trash. The pita that was served was all stale, hard and tasted like dirty oil. The falafel was overcooked, dry and tasteless. The rice was overcooked mushy with no flavor. Grape leaves taste tasted like canned and bitter. My finance picked up the online order and we have an email receipt and order number for 4.17. We both did reviews and he was so upset he paid for food he could not eat. I was sick and wanted soup, I stayed in the car when he went in to pick it up so that's why I'm not on his "camera". My review is legit, regardless of what the owner is stating. Rather than dispute my review, the owner should try and apologize not make claims against my integrity. I will not have someone antagonize me to try to get me to remove my authentic review as an Elite. Be aware that if you go here, the food might not only be bad but you'll be treated like a criminal for having honest feedback and have to be harassed for weeks after all because you wanted some soup.

    It was our first time in the area, and as a fan of Mediterranean food, I found this place on Yelp…read moreand decided to give it a try. I'm really glad we did. The portions were large, and the atmosphere was very relaxing during our visit. The server Habibi!!! was friendly and attentive. I'm usually very particular about food, but this place did not disappoint. We ordered the mixed platter for two, and it was excellent. I'm a big eater, but my wife and I still couldn't finish everything. It was so good that we packed the rest to go. Out of all the places I've tried, this one really stands out for both taste and quality. If I'm in the area again, I will definitely come back.

    I really wanted to like this place, but the experience was honestly disappointing from the moment…read morewe arrived. We showed up around 1 PM, which should be prime lunch time, and the place was completely empty. Not just quiet, I mean literally no one there, which immediately felt off. Even finding the entrance was confusing, especially if it's your first time. The exterior didn't help either. It looked sun-damaged and like it hadn't been maintained in a while, which set the tone before we even walked in. Once inside, things didn't improve. A guy greeted us briefly and ran to the back, and then another staff member asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside. The first thing we noticed was how stuffy it felt. No airflow, no ventilation, and when I asked if the AC was on, he said no. At that point, it just didn't feel comfortable staying. My friend and I looked at each other like, are we really about to eat here? That feeling alone says a lot. They do have an outdoor seating setup with what looks like Persian-style lounge seating, which could actually be really nice, but even that area didn't look clean or maintained. It had potential, but it just didn't feel inviting. We ended up leaving, and shortly after, another couple walked in and chose to sit outside, probably for the same reason we didn't want to stay inside. Honestly, this place feels like it could have a good vibe if it were busy and properly maintained, but right now it just feels neglected. Between the confusing entrance, lack of upkeep, and uncomfortable indoor environment, it was an easy decision to walk out.

It came with hummus AND a fresh salad AND a side of fresh baked in-house bread. I had to do a double take. You can also order the bread on its own as a standalone item, which is a genuinely unique touch. I cant name one other casual place that bakes their own bread. Show up Monday, Wednesday, or Friday and you can take advantage of their buy one get one 50% special too.

The interior is warmly decorated and the sound absorbing panels on the wall help to limit the noise. Orders are placed at the counter and the cashier was friendly and helpful with menu explanations.

You get a thick piece of bread which I wish they had toasted. Excellent coffee and other drinks.
