    12' chicken plate
    Sylvie C.

    I feel like I basically ordered the wrong thing here. I got the 12' chicken platter and wish I had gotten the beef/lamb one. The shawarmas were very dry and bland. It had hardly any flavor to it. The garlic / yoghurt sauce was ok. It had some garlic scent but otherwise had no salt or lemon taste to it and I found it too bland for my liking. The fries were the best part. The pickles were a bit too mushy for my tasting. I wouldn't mind trying their food again, but just not the chicken ones. The service was friendly and parking was ample when I visited. Absolutely no customers inside despite the huge space. Made me feel kinda sad.

    Amazing shawarma!

    This place has the best Shawarma you can get in the area! The service is extremely amazing. The owner of the store came out to greet us and was super friendly the atmosphere it's very quiet exactly how it should be. I would highly recommend and I easily give this place a 10 star.

    The logo got me. I decided to go in there and to try the special Syrian Shawarma pretty empty in the place of course we got there at almost 11. Tried the beef and the chicken I wouldn't go with the chicken as the chicken taste like fajitas however, the beef wasn't bad actually had some vegetables and when I say vegetables I'm talking about parsley and onions. Some tomatoes would've been nice and the sauce is mediocre at best overall not bad if you're super drunk, but if you can taste every bite, not bad.

    Not recommended Watch out ! The guy over there and in the picture is not honest he over charged intentionally me for a sandwich instead of $13.99 he charged for a plate $15.99. I was clear and we had a conversation even in his language. When I got the txt from the bank I called him and he didn't apologize. Take care guys and I will never be back Sandwich doesn't worth $13.99 overpriced and they are not ethical

    We had tried Syrian Style wraps before but weren't huge fans. We wanted to try again and decided to try this place after we saw a TikTok Review. We were not disappointed. We shared the 24" chicken plate and it was plenty of food for 2. We wanted more only because we really enjoyed it. The wrap was simple but the chicken had so much flavor it didn't need much else. The pickles in the wrap were so good, and I'm not usually a pickle fan. We think the wrap already had the toum (garlic sauce) on it but we def added more. Can't go wrong with crinkle cut fries. Service was quick and friendly. The restaurant was pretty empty when we went so lots of seating and the parking lot had lots of space. Hidden gem in a low key strip mall. Definitely coming back here again.

    Good food good vibes feels authentic and it's clean. We got the mixed chicken and beef plate it was really good especially the beef/lamb

    I went that restaurant. I asked Shawarma beef 12 piece. When I open the plate only 7 pieces not 12 When I went first time there when I got to the plate. It was only seven pieces there and I went second time and I ask again for the 12th piece of shawarma beef and the person whose work there he say OK. It was only 7 pieces not 12 pieces I pay for the 12 piece. tasty was of the Shawarma it was good. I like it, but The plate when I get it, it was only seven not 12 so just be honest with customer don't let customer pay for the 12 pieces and I got it only seven piece. if you wanna successfully in your business customer service are number one.

    Hands down one of the best chicken Shawarma Wraps I had in OC. I ordered the 12" Chicken Wrap for $13.99 and it came with a side of garlic sauce (thoum). Inside the wrap had chicken, pickles, and thoum, which if you know authentic shawarma, this is how it's supposed to be. The wrap was perfectly toasted in my opinion and they were very generous with the chicken. One wrap was more than enough for me. I thought the price was a little high but after seeing how good it is and how generous they are with the portion, I would definitely come back.

    I honestly wish I never tried this place. Reason being is it's some of the best Middle Eastern…read morefood I have ever tasted yet one of the worst parking lots I have experienced. Now I will be craving the delicious Aleppo hot sauce knowing I have to brave a nightmare parking lot. It's a teeny tiny parking lot with odd angles and bottlenecks with a surprising amount of restaurants sharing it. Makes zero sense. After circling three times I dropped my wife off and parked across the street risking getting towed. There's a ton of construction so hopefully more parking is on the way. That said, food is outstanding. Service was also perfection. Cuisine here is from Syria so there a lot of interesting dishes I haven't seen before. We started with deep fried spring rolls stuffed with akkawi cheese imported from Syria. Expensive but order it. I ordered the "khashkhash" kabob plate which was 4 grilled kefta kabobs served on a surprisingly spicy sauce of tomatoes and Aleppo peppers. It was served with a mound of buttery rice sprinkled with Aleppo peppers and a cabbage salad. Honestly the best kabops I've ever had. Absolutely loved the flavors. I devoured the whole plate while eyeing the parking lot across the street for tow trucks. Portion could easily be shared. My wife went with the Gyro flatbread. I scoffed saying "this isn't a Greek restaurant" but the joke was on me because I was envious. House made flat bread topped with gyro, tzatziki, pickled onions, tomatoes, feta, sumac, and Aleppo peppers. I took a few bites and retracted my previous scoff. They had a large list of mocktails. I had the Vimto Mojito and my wife had the margarita. Both creative and flavorful. Lastly I tried the "Ashta" for dessert. It's an Aleppo signature per the menu and is a pudding like dessert of clotted cream, pistachio, strawberries, and honey. It's simple yet satisfying. Took me a few bites to acquire the flavor but I loved it more with each bite. My wife didn't care for it. They moved by Angel Stadium from their Brookhurst spot. Great place except the parking. Reservations are odd too. $25 penalty PER PERSON if you miss your reservation. It was definitely motivation to find parking.

But the "Catch Feelings" Chicken Wrap at Kareem's? It genuinely needs a emotional warning label. I ordered it thinking I was just grabbing a quick bite on the go. Big mistake. Huge. Now I'm driving down Brookhurst having a full-blown existential crisis because a wrap has better structural integrity and emotional depth than most people I've dated. First off, whoever is back there assembling these wraps isn't just making food; they are practicing architectural geometry. Most spots toss your veggies in like they're launching confetti at a parade, leaving you with one bite of pure lettuce and another of pure existential dread. Not Kareem's. Every single bite is a masterclass in balance: vibrant, bright, colorful veggies that actually crunch, perfectly seasoned and juicy protein, and a sauce so ridiculously good I'm convinced it's strictly classified under international law. It's colorful, it's mouth-watering, and yes, I absolutely caught feelings. I am now in a committed relationship with a pita-wrapped masterpiece. And can we talk about the hummus? Smooth as a smooth-talking salesperson, richer than a crypto influencer, and paired with proteins that are cooked with actual respect. If you are anywhere near 1208 S Brookhurst St, do yourself a favor and stop by. Just be prepared: you will leave addicted, you will crave it at 2 AM on a Tuesday, and you will never look at a standard wrap the same way again. 10/10, no notes, sending Kareem's my therapist bills.

Even better -- it was my parents' first time trying Lebanese food, and they absolutely loved it. Watching them light up with every bite was honestly the highlight of the whole meal. The chicken kabob was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned with that bright lemon‑garlic flavor Lebanese cuisine is known for. Every piece had that beautiful char from the grill -- the kind that makes you pause and appreciate how good simple food can be. The beef kabob was rich, smoky, and incredibly satisfying. Tender enough to cut with a fork, packed with warm spices, and grilled just right. My parents kept saying, "Wow, this is delicious," after every bite -- and honestly, same. The falafel plate was a total winner -- crispy on the outside, soft and herb‑packed on the inside. Paired with creamy hummus, fresh veggies, and that tangy tahini sauce, it felt like the perfect balance of comfort and freshness. My parents were surprised by how much they loved the falafel. This spot delivered true Lebanese comfort food -- bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and plates that make you feel like you're being welcomed into someone's home. And seeing my parents fall in love with Lebanese cuisine on their very first try made the whole experience even sweeter.

With some updating and attention to cleanliness, this place could really stand out because the food is definitely worth coming back for.
