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.

Falafel appetizer plate and knafeh dessert.

Delicious Falafels and the yummiest knafeh dessert. Yummm!! It's a must to try. :) The owner is very caring and professional.

Mixed pita beef and chicken extra pickles so Good
Scott T.

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.

The signature lamb was delicious and paired nicely with a fresh salad. It seems like a small family run restaurant that's been able to stick around because of great food and service. Definitely worth a try if you're looking for more than your standard Mediterranean food!

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.

I was super excited to try it out for dinner and knew I wanted the garlic chicken sandwich. We pulled up on a Wednesday evening and it was completely dead. No problem... We walk in and there's a woman working at the register with both AirPods in, engaged in a conversation (in Spanish). We make direct eye contact, I smile, she looks at me and walks to the back, with no body language or expression, to continue her conversation. We wait 90 seconds to review the menu, she does not return, but can hear her conversation. A simple, "I'll be right with you." or "Give me a moment." would have been great but we got nothing so we walk out. As we walk out, we see her return to behind the register (still on the phone - still no inkling that she had any interest in helping customers). I can't even recall experiencing a complete disregard for helping customers or making a sale. Maybe business is booming and they don't need our money... This was pretty disappointing so we took our dinner order elsewhere, in the same shopping center. Oh well...

Don't get me wrong the food is good so I left 2 stars. Last week I decided to give it a another shot.. I updated my review due to the audacity of the young kid running it now. I place an order and after 35 minutes!! and only 2 single orders before me that were also waiting forever (again) he comes out to say "I'm sorry I don't have the ingredients to finish your order would you like salad or fries?" What!?! I was standing right in front of the truck the entire time and he would make eye contact with me every time he would look out of the trailer.. why not save me the 35 minutes and tell me when I placed my order?? Weird and rude. The wait is no longer worth it. I understand food is made to order but when your main menu revolves around kabobs and kabobs why not have a few spinning over the fire ready to go so when you get a "rush" of 2 people you can be more efficient? Idk just a thought and a solid idea for the owner.
