Toppings galore!
Christina F.

I was in the area and wanted to get some Shawarma and I came across this on Yelp and Instagram. I walked in on a Saturday afternoon. It was a little busy and it took a little bit of time to get to my order which is fine. I get it. it's Saturday. It's busy that's a good sign lol The lady who took my order was so nice and friendly. I felt like I was talking to a friend. I wish I got her name though. This Shawarma house has it all. Shawarma plates, Shawarma wraps, schnitzel plates, and wraps and even loaded fries! I got the chicken Shawarma plate. I am pretty shook to be honest. It came with rice on the bottom with some lettuce, tzatziki sauce, pickled onions, pickled cucumbers, pickled cabbage, slices of lemon, mint leaves, cucumber salad, garlic sauce, slices of chicken, Shawarma, and topped with a pomegranate sauce and There special sauce. This meal lasted me two days literally lol which I love and it only costed about 17.99 There is some tables for you to sit down and also an extensive variety of soda, including salaam cola. I would definitely come back here again and try the wrap. They even have Jerusalem bread, which I have never tried before.

Beef shawarma pita

SimSim is definitely one of my favorite shawarma restaurants in the little greater little Arabia area of Anaheim. I like how they offer pita wraps in addition to their traditional thin breads. I tried their beef shawarma pita, which was stuffed to the brim, topped with cilantro, onions, beets, and plenty of garlic sauce. It was well worth the price. Highly recommend checking them out.

SimSim probably//likely??! Has the best beef and Schwarma around. The food is simply delicious if not already perfect... This is my second visit here today 9/24/2026. Pleasant interior or to go. Easily missed in a strip mall behind the Chevron Station.

Chicken Shawarma

Very fresh food and delicious! It also felt very clean. They have indoor seating with olive trees, and free parking in the lot out front. I liked the Chicken Shawarma plate with tomatoes, pickles, cucumbers, garlic sauce, mint, and parsley. I'll definitely be back!

Mix shawarma plate
Robert Q.

Mix shawarma plate, falafel plate. Staff assembled plates with craftsmanship. It was nice to see. Beef and chicken had intense flavor. Really tasty. Pickled sides vibrant color and dimension. Rice fragrant and tasty. Every bite was bigger than the last. Falafel average, little small. Sauces and hummus decent variety, 1 of them reminded me of tuna.

beef shawarma wrap

So delicious. These guys have been here for 4 months and the food is incredible. The service is top notch, and the location is clean! I had some questions about the menu and was given clear information about the items I wanted to order. I ordered the beef shawarma wrap, which she explained wasn't on the menu yet. As I watched her prep the food I thought she could be prepping it for a magazine cover. I had her add a little hot sauce, which wasn't that hot! She also gave me a couple of falafel to try, just as a sample! So good! I may go with a falafel wrap next time, but to miss out on the shawarma may be a mistake! I may have to go with BOTH!! Highly recommend! I'll be back!!

Loved this place; great service & great food! I got the Mixed Shawarma Plate (10/10!) it was a perfect mix of everything, the chicken schnitzel on jerusalem bread (8.5/10) & Beef Shawarma Pita (8/10) were solid! Their red sauce made everything better! Parking was easy to find, I parked in the back by the gas station. Definitely recommend.

So glad we tried this place! Everything tasted great. Unfortunately, the other items were eaten to fast to be pictured.

SimSim Shawarma House is located right next to Mar7aba (coffee and home made pastries) and has the same owners. Ordering is done at the counter at this casual restaurant and the inside is clean with comfortable seating indoors. They offer shawarma plates, pitas, falafel and schnitzel. I went with a mixed shawarma plate. All the food served here is HALAL. Mix Shawarma Plate ($16.99 + $1.50 for hummus) - The shawarma plate came with rice, chicken and beef shawarma and fresh veggies and sides to choose from. I went with hummus, garlic sauce, spicy garlic sauce, cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickles, tzatziki sauce, pickled onions, onions, sweet cream cabbage, mint, pickled turnips, and arugula. I also went with some tahini sauce, house sauce, and pomegranate molasses. Overall the food tasted amazing, and each ingredient was so fresh. This place in terms of quality, food, and setup reminded me of one of my favorite restaurants, Sababa Falafel, except there was no crazy line here. I definitely will be stopping by here when I need my shawarma fix, and then will stop by next door to get a pistachio latte.

It's just good not great or blow your mind amazing, it's a decent option for lunch. I probably wouldn't frequently visit this place. Maybe a(EE times a year. I got the bowl and the rice is ok want really anything to remember about it. The chicken was actually the best part. The vegetable options are good I'm glad they offer just cucumbers and not just the cucumber and tomatoes mixed together. For the price it's good. 15 bucks plus 1.50 for a large scoop of hummus. I'll try again soon. The service was a bit slow but the guys working on 5/27 were having a hard time being organized. The place is super clean and nice and cool during this heat.

Located in a plaza on the corner of Brookhurst and La Palma you'll find a small and unassuming restaurant that serves up some of the tastiest shawarma in Anaheim. Enter the glass doors and you'll walk almost directly to the counter where you'll be greeted with a smile by friendly and welcoming staff. The menu is small which is nice making it simple. Once you place your order and pay at the counter you'll see a small dining area with a few tables. The decor is nice, simple, warm lighting, most importantly very clean. Let's get to the food. "What would you like?" We hoped to try out a beef and a chicken plate one each. It was 9:03pm when we arrived and being the end of the day unfortunately the chicken was already finished. "Beef shawarma it is." - Beef Shawarma Plate with everything. 4/5 Stars ***Add hummus - Beef Shawarma Pita 5/5 stars One thing for sure, it's fresh. The vegetables, the sides, the seasonings all make for an amazing flavor profile. My wife enjoyed the plate I had the pita wrap. Let's talk about the pita. This pocket of dough was just so nice. Slightly blistered, light, not thick, but still held everything together through each bite. My pita was perfectly packed. A well balanced proportion of veggies to protein ratio along with all the accompaniments. Every bite was delicious. Not a bite was missing any ingredients. End of your meal, you'll bus your tray. Be sure to thank the staff for an amazing meal. You can definitely taste the difference when folks have pride in their work and put love into the food. I'm definitely coming back, looking forward to another amazing Pita and trying everything else on the menu. The plaza was under a long renovation, might've been over a year nearly two. Finally completed, and I'm definitely glad it's become home to a new flavorful addition of Mediterranean food in Anaheim

Schnitzel and Shawarma menus

Simsim recently opened, and I decided to try it after seeing it on my Yelp feed. I dropped in for lunch and had an excellent first experience. I walked in and was greeted by a kind gentleman (may have been the manager). The menu is simple. You choose among plates and pitas, then pick your protein, then choose among the fresh ingredients and sauces in front of you. You make it your way. I ordered the beef shawarma pita, chose my preferred ingredients, and then the flavorful, tender meat carved from the spit-roasted meat was carefully packed into the pita. It was very delicious and filling. I also ordered the fried veggies (seasoned eggplant and cauliflower). The veggies were nicely cooked, but not as crispy as expected. The gentleman (I wish I had gotten his name) also gave me a few sauces to dip in and add to my pita. For drinks, they offer some canned and bottled varieties, most of which I have never heard of, and I was intrigued. I tried the Freez Mix brand, and it was refreshing. I'll have to try another kind next time. The dining area is clean and spacious with tables and an inviting atmosphere. The staff was kind and prepared my order promptly. I can't wait to come back for another meal. The prices are a little high, but the quality is worth it. I spent $33 total for lunch. A nice treat once in a while. Wishing the best for this business.

Came to Simsim shawarma after seeing a video on IG - got their beef & chicken shawarma wraps. The flavors were excellent and the price was fair - $12-15 a wrap. The service was great!

The beef shawarma was juicy and seasoned really well, and watching the shawarma spinning while they prepare everything was such a nice touch. The kafta was also delicious. Freez mix drinks so refreshing from Cyprus. And the pita was so soft and fresh -- definitely worth getting with your meal. Creps with nutella were perfect deser. The interior very traditional Lebanese. Taboleuh salad I highly recommend to try. Overall, great Mediterranean food, good portions, and lots of flavor.

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. The staff was warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly, and the service was impressively fast. They also have a great selection of Mediterranean spices if you want to bring some of those incredible flavors home. Huge compliments to the chef and the entire team. Between the fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, generous portions, and excellent service, Zait Zataar has definitely earned a spot on my list of favorite Mediterranean restaurants. I'll absolutely be coming back!

Their menu gives you the flexibility and range to order flavorful chicken or beef, vegetables or salad or rice, tons of accoutrements including crispy and crunchy pickles, as well as elevated dips like hummus and foul (fava). The vibes they serve are just as good as the food. This is the original location and has grown to have good seating and decor. I'd say the desserts are just all right, standard packaged items like baklava rather than anything fresh and special (I've been wishing they start making kunafeh, but it's better for my waistline that they don't! )
