    Delicious and fresh, some of the best I've had. I highly recommend this place. I got the chicken shawarma wrap with fries and I tried a cool peach mango soda.

    Theresa L.

    Ordered on Uber Eats. Packaged well. I got the mix grill so it came with both chicken and steak kabob, rice, salad, hummus, pita and sides of two sauces. Everything was delicious! The chicken was moist and soft!

    Beef
    Rami B.

    Easily the best shawerma I've had in California, especially the beef. It was generously stuffed with juicy tender meats, tahini, pickles, onions and tomatoes. Portions are generous, and prices are very reasonable. The chicken was delicious - you seasoned very well and complimented with garlic spread, which was authentic and not watered down. Modestly decorated with Palestinian ornaments adorning the walls, and a nice outdoor patio.

    Mixed shawarma
    Horacio C.

    Tried the mixed chicken and beef shawarma and it was delicious--perfectly seasoned, juicy slices with great char. The rice arrived hot and full of flavor, the side salad crisp and bright, and the hummus was creamy and incredible (I could eat a tub of it). Generous portions, fast service, and everything tasted fresh. Highly recommended for a tasty, satisfying Mediterranean meal.

    Falafel plate
    Christine L.

    This is our go-to spot for Mediterranean. The menu is pretty standard: gyro, kofta, falafel, etc. BUT the flavor is amazing. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Even my kids love everything from the beef kebabs to the kofta. Lately, I've been getting the shawarma wrap. It's a good deal and nice sized meal. Also, hands down the best hummus ever. My kids devour it. They've done some keep with the decor and renovations. It's a nice spot for a quick dinner. Even sitting outdoors is not bad because it's walled off from the street. The service is standard. They're friendly but also to the point and get orders out.

    Checking out this popular spot in Garden Grove!

    Discovered Shawarma House while staying at the Great Wolf Lodge, and with Yelps high reviews, we had to stop by. There is a standing tablet by the door to place your order, but you can also place your order by the register, especially if there is no line. Beware of using the Kiosk, I noticed on my receipt that there is a Kiosk charge (first time I have heard of this)! Ordered the Beef Shawarma Plate, Cheese Sambousek, Baklava for dine in; and a Large Rice to go. For what we ordered, it was plenty, servings for 2 people. The plate included, salad, pita bread and hummus along with beef shawarma shavings and yellow rice. Food was good, prices are reasonable. There was a constant flow of customer, validating how good their food is! Unlike other Shawarma/Mediterranean Restaurants I have been too, they do not provide complementary Tea. Establishment was clean, friendly staff, lots of parking. Stop by if ever you are staying at the Great Wolf Lodge, just don't use the Kiosk if it is not busy.

    Chicken kabob plate
    Victoria C.

    Honestly this is my new favorite Mediterranean spot! I ordered the chicken kabob plate to share with my partner. It was more than enough food for us to enjoy a lighter lunch. Be hungry if you're ordering two plates! I think the establishment prefers that you order on the screen so that they can focus on getting out the orders fast. The food tasted great. I really loved that the salad wasn't plain. It had a great flavor, as did the chicken, rice and hummus. Staff is super friendly. They knew we were sharing and offered us 2 sauces. There is plenty of seating indoors and the outdoor area has a nice patio. The tables were all kept really clean. Overall, it's a really great place, and we will definitely be coming back to try some of their other stuff.

    We had Jerusalem Roastery in mind for dessert and this place is the ultimate partner for the entree, three doors down. Bit dark inside but still, clean enough and plenty of seats available. Our falafel and chicken wraps were nice and well packed in, meaning very little chance to spill the contents over your outfit. Fries that accompanied the order, were crispy on the outside but a but mush on the inside. Good flavors though. Yoghurt and pepper sauces were on point and the yoghurt was actually thick and flavorful. Our sodas were definitely middle-eastern but matched the food well. Service was on point as well, no complaint on that point. Price wise, in there with everybody else which makes a regular visit prohibitive but from time to time a nice reason to eat out.

    Wraps are so good. Filled with protein
    Vu N.

    Shawarma house. I loved it. Got two wraps. 1 chicken and 1 beef. 11 dollars each. Filled with a lot of protein. Lots of pickles. Toasted. With the sauce. So good. Not greasy. Very flavorful. 3 extra bucks got me some fries. I'll be back to try the combos. And sides

    Amy N.

    Past by this place and decided to try it. Staff move pretty fast making it a great place when you just want to grab a quick bite to eat. Chicken shawarma - they toast the wrap so it's crispy on the outside and on the smaller side. Think burrito that comes with side of chili and yogurt tzatziki like sauce. Chicken kabob - tender chicken with a side of salad, humus and rice. Really good chicken! Both items were good! Parking was not a problem. We did have to wait a while for our food (5-10 minutes).

    Shawarma House is our go-to lunch spot at work and it never disappoints. My coworkers and I order the family deals all the time, and it's honestly the best way to feed a group -- tons of food, great variety, and everything is always fresh and flavorful. The main dishes are solid, but the real stars for me are the sides. Their garlic sauce is SO good -- creamy, bold, and basically addictive. I could put it on everything. And the babaganoush is amazing too, super smoky and smooth with that perfect homemade taste. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and it's always a crowd-pleaser when we order. If you're feeding a group or just craving really good Mediterranean food, this place is a must.

    Salad & Hummus/Dips!
    Dean W.

    Shawarma House provided catering for our office dinner/evening meeting - the food is phenomenal! I've actually never heard of them prior to the catering - was surprised they weren't too far of a drive from work, so will probably find myself checking them out in the near future. Our delivery driver got lost - understandable when delivering to a hospital campus - but everything was so well packaged, that the food was fresh and hot even after the initial mishap. We placed three orders of the #5 family meal - 15 Skewers Mixed Grill Kabob - (5 chicken kabob / 5 beef kabob / 5 kofta kabob) - which also came with trays of hummus, baba ganoush, salad, rice, pita bread, tahini, garlic, and spicy sauce. They were nice enough to serve everything in well packaged containers, proteins off the kabob skewer. Total including delivery fee, tax, and driver tip was $485. The beef kofta was great - perfectly portioned, juicy and full of flavor. The chicken pieces were boneless, tender, juicy, and also delicious. Hands down - my favorite bites were the beef/filet mignon cubes. They were grilled just right - I think Medium/Medium-Well - perfect flavoring, tender bite, well seasoned. The rice, salad, hummus, and other garnishments were great and complemented the meal quite well. The portions were huge - even after a second helping, by the end of the meeting, there were plenty of leftovers which I happily helped myself to.

    Premium Mix Grill Plate
    Diego T.

    I've ordered both through DoorDash and eaten there in person, so I can confirm that these people have mastered the art of delivery. My food always arrives in perfect condition, which is rare these days (looking at you, mystery-soggy-bag places). The Premium Mix Grill is my personal heavyweight champion. The chicken? Smoky perfection. The lamb and beef? Tender flavor explosions. The rice is so good and crazy seasoned thay just screams perfection That plate is massive..like "two-day meal prep" big... unless I'm in my "gains" era, then it's a one-day celebration of pure protein and joy. Dining in? It's always buzzing and for good reason. Total vibe. They didn't skimp when I asked for hot sauce either (bonus points for generosity). Could it be spicier? Sure. But the tahini and cucumber yogurt sauce cools everything down just right like the chill friend who keeps you balanced after a wild night out Pro tip: grab an extra pack of pita bread. It's soft, warm, and dangerously easy to demolish in one sitting.

    I began to feel awful for jonesin' some good Falafel. Where in Little Arabia was there to go?…read more Googling Falafel produced Sababa Falafel Shop. (Say that 10 times, eat a cracker and whistle.) The shop was just a hop, skip and jump down the 91. Be advised that parking is a challenge. The Convenience store next door allowed parking for 10 minutes. Not convenient. The Dry Cleaner had spaces for 10 seconds. I can't even open the car door in 10 seconds. The available slots are narrow and best for motorcycles, not cars and trucks. Sababa is a fast casual concept but hold on there, not so fast, Mate, there is always a line out the door so let's make it a slow casual place. No matter, it's all worth the effort. Patience is not optional as the place is a bit of a Mad House. Pickle bits flying and Tomato Cucumber Relish launched while your meal is created before your eyes and yet the place is very clean and appealing. The line will move and you will eventually interact with the phalanx of enthusiastic Servers ready and happy to make your Bowls and Stuff your Pita just the way you want it. Take the free sample Falafel the size of a pregnant Cherry and still warm from the fryer to whet your already needy appetite. Delicious! The Falafel are crisp all around and the center has the consistency of Polenta/Grits inside the crackling crust. The Herbs and Spices tantalize the taste buds and come shining through satisfying the craving that brought you here. Falafel are available in bags of 6 , 12 or you pick a number and the Fry Cooks will make it happen. Soon your Falafel, Prime Rib, Wagyu Beef, or Chicken will be ready to mix into your Bowl or Pita. Sababa takes a page from the Chipotle Model only without the eColi. A dozen containers are set in ice and hold everything you could ask the helpful Condiment Commando for. Three different kinds of thinly sliced Onions (Sumac dusted, Pickled, or a short shower of Lemon Juice) plus Diced Pickles, Two types of Shredded Cabbage, Fresh Chopped Tomatoes and Cucumbers, Chopped Lettuce (hmmm, so far so good), Cucumber Yogurt Sauce (like Raita), Shatta (Hot Sauce), Tahini and a dollop of Hummus. Voila, you're all set to eat a Pita stuffed with stuff exactly the way you've been dreaming about. The Pita is outsourced and better than you'll find in any local market or Bakery in Little Arabia. Half an inch thick, served warm, and the top half sliced in half to allow loading the beast with whatever you've been pointing at behind the glass sneeze shield. The finished product is slipped into a paper bag to minimalize making a mess, (almost). The Pita is the size of a dinner plate but it won't get soggy, disintegrate of suffer from Falafel Fall Apart. The origin of Sababa is to offer the traditional street food that's famous in Palestinian Ramallah. All the Meats are strictly Halal certified by Islamic Authorities and are top quality with no mystery chew. ie; it is authentic. Sure, Trump and Netanyahu can bomb the snot out of every country in the Middle East but wouldn't it be better instead of reloading if Sababa could supply all the warring factions with magnificent fully loaded Pitas. All the nonsense might disappear by desert. Whatever your background, origin, religion, or political philosophy, this is a place of piece. Birkas, Wife Beaters and Crocs, Hajibs, Rib Bibs, all harken the Netherworld Waiting Room in Beetlejuice and all diners are welcome here. Sababa should be the model for how everyone can get along. So get along to Sababa Falafel Shop and make it a regular stop for B, L, & D.

IM ARAB AND NEVER EVEN LIKED FALAFEL. but sababa... you changed me... you showed me, but truth falafel was when all I had ever known was the reheated frozen falafel from my local middle eastern market. I want you to look at the pictures of my review and see the colors. Bro it's literally the entire rainbow in that fresh pita, call me a leprechaun. I literally convinced myself that the entire sandwich (which makes me unbelievably full halfway through) is basically so healthy for me. They also give you samples of the falafel, and that pita bread tastes like it's completely homemade. Not pictured, but I also constantly get the hummus beef bowl, it is quite literally the most delicious of that type of dish I have ever had. They do not skip on the pine nuts it's worth every cent. This of each sandwhich to the brim and it feels like I'm biting into literally every flavor imaginable, but it doesn't feel like mush. It literally tastes like it's made with love and no wonder Sababa is the staple restaurant of Anaheim. I've taken so many friends here introduced him to what I feel is a restaurant that makes everything with love, which lives so much up to the Palestinian culture. I'm so hard to please with Middle Eastern restaurants cause I'm sick of the basic kebab and rice, and here is absolutely one of my favorites. Like my mouth is watering thinking about it right now.

There is a bell that you have to ring in order to get one. Remember to get it! It's very tender. The salad section was great. It had a good variety of greens, and they were all dressed and seasoned very well. I liked the big cucumber salad and the kale with pita chip salad the most. The pita chips as croutons were very nice and crispy. The hummus section was awesome. My favorite one is the green one. I think it's avocado? You should try them all! Don't get filled up on it, though--save room for the meats! Besides the lamb shank, I liked the kofta and the gyro. The first batch of kofta I had was very juicy, and the second was more on the drier side. Same goes for the gyro. It was cut kind of thick and was a little dry. The garlic sauce they have went very well with it! I also got the beets, and they were my favorite item. They were sweet and tender, cooked to perfection. The cantaloupe and honeydew were both very sweet. I think that's kind of hard to come by these days. Their pudding was okay, not my favorite.

They sort of got an Indian mix in their buffet, the problem is that the curry is watered down, and the chicken over done or too loose. Luckily I'm not here for the Indian food.

The lamb was tender and great, although it's one shank per person there is a lamb rice dish on the buffet line and you can get more lamb meat. The beef kebab is pretty standard and the rose water is uniquely good. Although I did water mine down a little to reduce the sweetness. The desserts are great, usually the fruits at buffets aren't sweet but these were! The pasteries felt like it was Greek restaurant grade. Would come here again when I'm in the area, the price is great if you typically can eat two plates - cost of plates nowadays are too much elsewhere.

It's only about 7 minutes from the parks, making it the perfect lunch or dinner spot if you're craving something flavorful that won't leave you feeling heavy. Everything we ordered was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. The spinach pastry was hands down my favorite, perfectly flaky with a delicious savory filling. The potato pastry was a close second and just as satisfying. If you visit, don't skip the pastries! We also tried the steak and chicken kebab combo plate, and both were cooked perfectly. The chicken was especially tender, juicy, and seasoned beautifully. You can actually watch the meat being cooked fresh in the back, which made the whole experience feel even more authentic. I ordered the veggie plate with falafel, baba ganoush, tabbouleh, hummus, and tahini sauce, and every single item was delicious. The falafel really stood out. It had a perfectly seasoned, crispy exterior with a soft, flavorful center. Dipping it into the baba ganoush, hummus, and tahini made every bite even better. One of my favorite things was that the meal was incredibly satisfying without feeling greasy or overly heavy. It was fresh, filling, and packed with flavor, but I still felt great afterward.

I placed an online order for the baked fish plate around 12:45 PM and expected a bit of a wait since it was fish. After waiting about 25 minutes, I called and was told it would be another 10-15 minutes. The restaurant was busy, so I understood. However, after waiting longer and checking inside twice, my order still wasn't ready and there seemed to be confusion about its status. In total, I waited close to an hour for an order that was placed online in advance. What bothered me most was seeing customers who ordered in person receive their food before me. It felt like my online order had been overlooked. If online ordering is offered, those orders should be monitored and fulfilled properly, especially during busy times. The food itself was good, but the plate could have been put together better. The fries were placed directly on top of the fish, which made them soggy and took away from the presentation. It would make much more sense to serve the fries on the side. Overall, the food is still good, but the long wait, confusion with the online order, and lack of attention to presentation make me hesitant to rely on the online ordering system again.
