    I came here with my coworker since we were nearby for a work meeting. She suggested this place since she used to come here at least twice a week when she worked in an office nearby. I'm so glad she suggested it because I was happy with the taste of the food. The service was friendly, and our food was brought to our table rather quickly. There was plenty of dining room space and many tables. It's a casual environment with the fountain drink machine and self serve for utensils and napkins. There was a small TV on in the corner. We both ordered the mixed beef and chicken Shawarma plate. The pita bread was warm and paired well with the beef and chicken. There was something very tangy and delicious about the salad dressing which I really enjoyed. My friend asked for the hot sauce and I'm glad she introduced me to it. While it was spicy, just a little dip went a long ways. I lived the spicy green sauce! The garlic sauce that the plate came with was delicious and complemented the proteins. I'll stop by again when I'm in the area.

    I've been a customer for years and the food has always been really good. I usually get the Shish Kebab plate, it's around $18. The beef is delicious, really good flavor. The garlic sauce is by far the best I've ever tried. The rice is pretty basic. Salad is great too but I do wish the lettuce was more fresh, it was brown and soggy.

    Chicken Shawarma Plate

    Honestly it pains me to write this, but this straight up wasn't good. Ordered chicken Shawarma plate. Chicken was bland and extremely dry (see pics), side salad wasn't that good either, and rice was bland as well. Staff was nice for sure. Maybe other people have gotten them on a good day, but my experience just was straight up not good.

    The service and food were simply the best! The staff went above and beyond. The food is well marinated and delicious. Small place with big flavor.

    Greek salad $3.50 with combo

    Unfortunately, nothing memorable about the food. I came here for lunch on a Monday. This place is called California Pita Grill, so not sure if there was a switch in owners. First time coming here, and probably last unfortunately. There are a lot of options here. I got the chicken pita wrap combo with Greek salad for an additional $3.50. Total came out to be about $12.50 which is not bad for lunch. The combo comes with a drink as well. The lunch portion size is enough to fill you up with just the wrap alone... but the chicken was extremely salty and sour. I should have gone to Doner G's instead. I took out most of the chicken because it was so salty. The Greek salad was okay, although it too was doused in sauce also. Better luck next time.

    Greek Salad was just horrible!

    This was my second visit to Pita Grill Express and both times were just awful. For starters, they are not an authentic Greek restaurant and their food is just garbage. My Greek salad tasted soaky and like if it was made the day before. I literally tossed it in the garbage after just a few bites. The two side pieces of falafel tasted okay but also not great. Zero stars for horrible food.

    Chicken Kabab Pita

    This place has gone way downhill. I haven't been here in months but it was one of my favorite Mediterranean places in OC. The wrap I got today was nothing like the one I had last time. Not only did they increase the price, but i feel like the portions shrunk. Not only that, but the wrap legitimately sucked. The chicken was so dry and they removed the fries and sauce that they used to put in. The cut on the pickled onions were so blocky and it was put together so haphazardly. Not sure if I just came on an off day but I don't know if I'll come back again. The one redeeming factor was the cashier was very nice and service was fast. I would have preferred to wait longer for better food though.

    Gyro plate with tzatziki sauce and 2 falafel to go!

    Love grabbing lunch here! The food is delicious each time I go. All of the staff are nice and friendly. The gentlemen that make and prepare the food are quick and ask what grilled meat people in line are going to order to ensure the lunch rush is smooth. The cashier is very sweet and kind. Plenty of tables to choose from if you decide to eat inside.

    Chicken kabab plate... it was delicious.!!

    I had such a great experience at Aleppo's Kitchen! It's a perfect spot for getting together with…read morefamily and enjoying a variety of Mediterranean dishes. We tried the Shish Tawook, Kefta Kebab, Chicken Shawarma Wrap, Chicken Shawarma, Lemon Chicken Wings, Meat Topped Flatbread, fries, and the sampler appetizer. Everything was flavorful and there was plenty to choose from, making it easy for everyone to find something they enjoy. I would definitely recommend Aleppo's Kitchen if you're looking for delicious Mediterranean food and a great place to gather with family or friends!

    This place is good! I ordered ahead and the hubs picked it up and brought it home for dinner…read more He had a chicken shawarma bowl and really enjoyed it, said he wants it again. I had the mixed kebab platter, which comes with lots of yummy rice, a mild grilled pepper, grilled onion, a small side of slaw, and three kebabs - chicken, filet mignon, and kefta (ground beef). This does not come with any sauce, I ordered a side of garlic sauce. My plate was very good! I found the garlic sauce to be really mild, I am used to a very pungent garlic sauce. The filet was hands down my favorite, soooo tender! Chicken was really good, kefta was ok. I also ordered us pita bread and the kibbeh appetizer. Their pita is really good! So fluffy and had a great taste. Kibbeh was not my favorite, it was very crunchy, which I am not accustomed to, and the flavor just didn't work for me. We are definitely fans and will be ordering from Aleppo's again.
