    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.

    My friend and I were doing a San Diego roundtrip and knew we needed to caffeinate. She had heard…read moreabout Sabr, so we decided to do a pitstop on the way. We came in on a Saturday morning around 10AM, and the whole cafeteria area was essentially empty - other than 3 tables. This would be a GREAT place to study or do some productive work! I ordered the CTM - Cinnamon Toast Matcha. It was DELICIOUS! Who knew how complimentary cinnamon toast crunch would be matcha. I also decided to try the zatar cheese danish which was a different flavor from what I've had, but was so tasty! It's a little pricy, but not more than the cost of other cafes. If I lived in the area or was back in the area again, I would definitely stop in and try other drinks and pastries! What a hidden local gem!

    My friend and I were dropping off my partner at a local pickleball spot and were craving matcha, so…read morewe came across Sabr Cafe! We honestly didn't realize it was tucked inside a religious/community center. There were a lot of people studying there, and the space itself was really open and spacious. We were afraid that we were being too loud so I don't recommend this place to hang out unless you're studying or doing work. We also liked that there was a restaurant next to Sabr, so we ended up getting a quesadilla that was HUGE and was yummy treat to go with our drinks. For matcha, I got the einspanner and my friend got the Cinnamon Toast Matcha. I really enjoyed the einspanner matcha! It was smooth and definitely hit the spot. My only mistake was drinking it around 2 PM because I literally could not sleep the rest of the night haha. Overall, good drinks and a chill place to study. Will definitely come back again and try their other drinks next time!
