Obaid Kitchen serves up Syrian Middle Eastern food. All the food served here is HALAL. I had placed an order for a mixed kebab platter for a gathering. Unfortunately I didn't check the platter till I got home. Mixed Kebab for 5 ($80) - This plate is supposed to come with 3 skewers each of (tawook, kefta, beef kabobs), beef shawarma, chicken shawarma, salad, rice, fries, garlic sauce, tahini, grilled vegetables. The plate was missing the shawarma meats, fries, and some of the grilled vegetables. I saw a picture from someone's Yelp review that did have the shawarma meats and clearly I was not provided with that. The food was just ok, nothing really stood out except the beef kabobs were tender and juicy. Overall, I'm disappointed that they didn't include all the items mentioned on the menu. I did see someone's Yelp review from February and the same thing happened to him. When he complained to the management, they gave him some additional items and told him our menu has changed. If the menu has changed, then it should be updated, it's been over 5 months! Also the platter as it was provided to me is definitely not enough for 5 people. Tried calling a few times and they don't pick up the phone. read more

A new Mediterranean cuisine with a familiar menu and items that people crave. From Shawerma to Kabobs you can find a little bit of everything here. For some reason I was craving some Shawerma so I had ordered their Shawerma Plate which comes with Beef and Chicken Shawerma along with some salad, hummus, pita bread and rice. To my dismay, the both meats were very dry. I feel like it lacked seasoning as it had no flavor unless I covered it with their garlic sauce. Hopefully it was just an off day or dry because there were no customers at the time but hoping this place just had an off day with their food. read more

Obaid replaced the Garden Mediterranean grill and not in a good way. We went for dinner during the soft opening and this would've been the time to impress their customers. The server didn't really speak English (maybe he didn't want to) and seemed confused when was asked to recommend a dish that's popular. We ended up getting the hummus and to my surprise it came with one thin pita that was sliced in half and placed on top of the cheese pastry. Food presentation was non existent. He got my friend's order wrong even after she repeated herself twice. What made the experience ever worse was the fact that the server was attentice to the other tables because they all spoke the same language. Very disappointing and we will miss the previous restaurant. We won't be going back. P.s. the menu needs a good proofreading (sauce, not souce, fries not freis,, etc.) read more

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. read more

One star today but will almost certainly add more another time. The menu is Not what you see in the pictures, it's much smaller and more expensive. The atmosphere is pleasant, casual. The food is really good - we had the mixed chicken/beef shwarma entree. They've been here over 10 months but still calling it a soft opening. That's the vibe. No one else here, feels like a new business, staff doesn't really care what's happening, tables left uncleaned for all the time we were there. We were ready to leave for a while, so I went to the counter to find someone to pay. Hello!? No answer from the kitchen, they were outside. OK, I'm cutting them some slack. They've been here a while, today must have been an off day, though other reviews have said the same. Yes, the food is good, and plentiful, so while prices are higher than before, I'm kinda OK with it. The meat was a little dry but with no one there to eat it that's what happens on the cone. This is a seriously mixed review that I will be happy to revise if/when we give them another shot. read more

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! read more

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! read more

We decided to try this newer Mediterranean spot in Foothill Ranch this past week. We were not disappointed, the food is outstanding! My wife got the chicken shawarma plate, the chicken is delicious, as was the rice, hummus, and salad. I had the chicken shawarma wrap, which was also delicious, as were the fries that came with it. We also had a side of pita bread which was nice and light. They also have an outdoor patio where they allow dogs, so we were excited about that because we take our pup just about everywhere with us. Great spot, we liked it so much we're back here today for lunch! read more

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.

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! read more

This restaurant was empty during lunch time which should have been a sign to me. The menu on the TV does not display the full menu. This was confusing as the server was mentioning items not on the menu until he gave me a paper menu. I ordered to go two meals and a kids meal. I clearly said kids meal but the server took my order as a regular sandwich - I didn't fight them on this and just accepted my incorrect order. Lastly, the food was so subpar to any other Mediterranean restaurant nearby. This was a salty spoon! the chicken shawarma sandwich was so salty my daughter couldn't even get through it. The French fries were over seasoned and salty. Even the taboleh salad was salty. Sadly, the chicken was dry as well. It's such a shame for a soft opening restaurant. read more

I called the number and this restaurant is permanently closed. Wish it was open the pictures looked delicious.

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. read more

Disappointing Experience We visited to try this place out, but the service was extremely poor. The staff member acknowledged the customer ahead of us, speaking to them in Persian, but once they left, he completely ignored us--no greeting, no eye contact, no offer of assistance. He simply walked away and continued chatting with another employee in Persian. We stood there waiting, but no one acknowledged us. After several minutes, we gave up and left. If being ignored is their idea of customer service, I would not recommend going there. The guy made us feel like we didn't belong there read more

So incredible! We love this place, the people are kind and the food is delicious! Thank you for always such an amazing experience! read more

REMARKABLE PLACE! EXCELLENT QUALITY OF MEATS AND SOFT!!! The flavors are amazing!!! The platters are huge! We got the $80 and fed more than 7-8 people came with some sides and it was amazing!!

We have been back two times already. read more

Absolutely the best Syrian restaurant in Orange County! Their shawarma chicken and beef is delicious! The mazeh is tasty. Everything is authentically made. The tabouli is yummy.

I am sad this one of the best middle eastern food in the area better than caspian and they have closed. They had the most authentic food. Sad to see them go read more

Great food, and my salad had a dressing! The beef shawarma was delicious, chicken shawarma was really good too; and both were great as a sandwich and as a plate (cuz rice was yummy).. the rotisserie chicken was delicious as well. The price is fair for the area and portions weren't bad either, especially the half rotisserie chicken plate was quite substantial! This had the flavor of the restaurants in Garden Grove, but soo much closer for me. Still choose Garden Grove restaurants hands down, but I'm DEFINITELY coming here again!! The service was funny, I'll just say that... overall they were all friendly! read more

If i could give this place a 0 i would. I came here with my mom who has been fasting the whole day all the way from san diego and we came to find out that its closed. We went to a nearby shop and they said that this place has been closed for the past week or week and a half yet their hours still say theyre open till 9 PM every day. Very unprofessional and will never come back to try the food unless its on the house. read more

Very poor experience all around. The restaurant is so plain and ugly on the inside it makes you question whether they're even open for business yet, and there are no menus available at the front. When I asked for a menu the guy at the counter looked confused (??) and he immediately walked away after I paid for my food-- no "thank you" or "we'll have that out for you shortly" or anything. I didn't even get a chance to let him know that I'll be waiting outside... Anyway, I ordered a chicken shawarma sandwich and waited 30 minutes for it!! It may have taken even longer had I not gone up to them twice asking what was taking so long. When I finally got my food they just gave me the plate without even a napkin or utensil which is really bare minimum customer service for a sit-down style restaurant. As for the food: it was easily the worst shawarma I've ever had. The bread they use for it is wrong (way too dry and flaky) and the chicken itself was very dry and flavorless. The fries and garlic sauce were fine. I'm sad to give a POC owned restaurant such a bad review but the experience was honestly bad. They apologized and tried to make up for it by giving us some free desserts before we left but even that arrived to us sooo last minute (the exact moment that we stood up to leave) and the desserts weren't very good either. I'm not sure why they thought they had the skills to open a restaurant but they truly don't. read more

We ordered the kebabs for five tonight, and while the meal was absolutely delicious, we noticed that part of the order was missing--specifically, the shawarma meat, chicken, and French fries listed on the menu.

Thanks for a great meal, and we look forward to ordering again! read more
