    Chicken kabab

    I found this small Mediterranean spot, and the food is great! I've grown up around Middle Eastern families, so I've had a lot of authentic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food over the years, and this place definitely tastes authentic, down to the rice. They're also very generous with the chicken, which I really appreciate. So many places skimp on the protein, but not here.

    Cute!

    Once upon a time, this Faerie Queen needed an appetizer for an impromptu gathering. So glad we stopped here. We order the fantastic baba ganush with pita bread. It was delicious and everyone loved it. We will be back for more menu items! The end.

    I was craving some Mediterranean food and immediately typed it in on yelp and saw that I was not far from this particular spot upon arrival I was a little skeptical because of how small the facility was and I really wanted to dine in, but I'm actually happy I gave it a chance the workers were extremely nice made. You feel very comfortable very welcoming like I said the facility was small, but it was very clean and I like how you're able to see the kitchen. The menu has a wide selection. I end up getting the cauliflower and also the mixed plate and both were absolutely amazing 10 out of 10 so much flavor so much food that I was able to share. I would definitely go back and try some more items on their menu and I will definitely recommend this spot for my Mediterranean food lovers.

    Chicken & Kofta Combo With Spicy Hummus (4 stars)

    Just as great as their other location. Went with the kofta and the chicken kabobs with spicy hummus and the mediterranean salad. The meats were a little on the dry side but the seasoning and taste made up for it. Wish they gave more pita bread for the amount of hummus given.

    I was craving for some lamb, so I Yelp'd this place on a whim and came with the kids after school. It's a small family owned shop with some seating and a kitchen area putting out the goods. The service was quick and friendly, but you're here to read about the food. ;) I ordered the Lamb Wrap, and it was everything I hoped for - plenty of lamb, cooked at a perfect medium-rare, with hummus, pickles, pickled turnips, tahini, and a mix of other spices and flavors. Exactly what I was looking for! My daughter got the same thing, but with chicken instead, and was beyond pleased. My son ordered the rice bowl - it comes with two different rices, pita, and many of the same items that came in our wrap, just deconstructed. It's a good sized bowl - the only gotcha was that while our wraps were full of meat, his rice bowl only came with 4 small chunks of beef which was a bit surprising so I shared some of my lamb with him and tried some of his rice - which was perfectly cooked and seasoned. In all we'll certainly be returning - I may pass on the rice bowl, but the wraps were a good vertex of price vs. amount, and the quality of the food is certainly worth it! :)

    My plate of deliciousness!

    So yummmmmmmy! This time we added a salmon kebab to the order for takeout and it was amazing. We enjoyed fattoush salad, hummus, baba ghanoush, and garlic sauce with grilled onions and tomatoes and pitas and two types of rice. The pitas are super thin and light. Order ahead of time and then pick up is fresh and quick!

    First time for my wife and me at this quaint restaurant. The inside has four small tables for two and one outside on the side walk. They also have "bar" seating along one side of the wall. Order at their counter. The food was good. Chicken was tender, salad is salad, and rice my wife loved. I had dessert, their Ashta ice cream with Baklava. Oh my, so delicious. A tip, they add sweet syrup so let them know if you like the Baklava to be sweet, or mild, or none at all!! Bill our server was very polite!

    LAMB KABAB BOWL
    Melanie C.

    Lamb Kabab Bowl w/ Lamb Chop 9/10 - lamb medium/ rare done meat, not too chewy - Lamb hop was really tender - Rice was really delicious - A lot of flavor going on when you added all their sauces Lamb Kabab Wrap 1/5 - Lamb medium/ rare was too chewy, basically had to spit out the majority of the meat - Lacked flavor, very plain - No dipping sauces - lentil soup was pretty decent - Wrapped in a flower tortilla, I wish it was pita bread Zahrah ( Cauliflower) 10/10 - great seasoning - Taste very citrusy with some Parmesan cheese - Would recommend trying out this appetizer Falafels 10/10 - Authentically home made - can't go wrong with ordering these This is an updated review. I have gone to this place three times. The first two times my expectations weren't met. The third occasion I went the owner wanted to redeem himself so he asked me to come give them another try. I will say the third time I was not let down. The meat was done to my liking and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The customer service here is great, the cashier at the front desk is very kind and patient. The owner of the restaurant is very kind, you can tell he cares about his restaurant and his customers. This is their smaller location so it has a very intimate mom and pop feeling.

    LAMB KABAB stuff got mixed together on my drive home but it was still delish

    Really good plate with good potions! Loved the pickled veggies on the side. Cute store. Quick service.

    Recently rediscovered Dimassi's earlier this year after I forgot about it and went to visit their…read moreAnaheim Hills location which has since closed (RIP). Not sure if they've improved or what, but it was really tasty by buffet standards and I instantly became a fan of Dimassi's despite my 2 star review from 3 years ago. Since then I've been coming here every other week lol I'm such a huge fan of the large selection of salads and vegetables they have to choose from. I love the parsley salad, cabbage, roasted vegetables, the vegetable soup, and all the onions/tomatoes they have in some of the dishes on the buffet line. I LOVE rice (wow what a surprise) but here? It's such an afterthought for me. I will gladly eat all the roasted chicken, lamb shank, kofta, etc. with all the salads and veggies. It's the healthiest buffet I've ever been to. Sure, I might finish with a few bites of rice or a falafel or two, but I always leave here feeling healthy which is crazy to say after eating a buffet. No one is getting fat off vegetables and braised lamb and chicken. Well, maybe if you eat enough of the fried chicken (which is great by the way). I'm really bummed the Anaheim Hills location closed down, but I have no problems driving over here instead! I think after my next visit I'll finally get $15 off lmao. I told you I come here way too much.

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. I also tried the baklava, and it is definitely one of the better ones I have ever had. Definitely recommend this place, and I will come back.

Still, we fondly remembered their generous, delicious portions, so we placed an online order. ​The website didn't give a readiness time, but remembering that they used to prepare everything fresh and take their sweet time, I told my husband we should wait a bit before heading out. ​When I walked in, the employees were chatting and laughing, which was nice to see. Then I noticed a pile of takeout orders sitting on a shelf. Hungry as I was, I silently prayed none of them were ours; I utterly despise cold food. I gave my name to the cashier--who skipped the greeting entirely--and was told it wasn't ready yet. I said thanks and took a seat. ​While I was waiting, another customer asked about her order and was initially dismissed with a "no." After a second look, the cashier called her back: "Oh, this is yours. It's been ready." No apology, just a cold shoulder. The customer was understandably ticked off. ​The real plot twist, however, happened when I got home. Apparently, "two skewers" now translates to a grand total of five pieces of chicken. That is definitely not what it used to be. To make matters worse, my worst nightmare came true: the food was cold. Well, not the chicken, but the french fries and pita bread were stone-cold and stale. ​Lately, I've been going to Luna Grill down the street. They actually serve fresh, much tastier food--and at prices that don't feel like highway robbery.

This place seems to use only quality ingredients, as everything always tastes fresh. Order some pita bread, and they'll taste like someone just prepped them before you arrived! The chicken shawarma plate is our favourite order, as it is plenty to feed both my wife and me. It comes with delicious chicken, a small salad, hummus, and pickled vegetables. Everything tastes good! Occasionally, we get the falafel, which is also tasty! The garlic sauce that comes on the entrees here is likely our favourite of all garlic sauces we've tried in other spots. We used to frequent this spot, and I've certainly brought a number of friends and coworkers around to bring joy to all of our bellies. Prices are average, and the service is fast. Although there is only street parking available, you'll likely be able to find parking along Bixby Road or Atlantic Blvd, though I tend to avoid the traffic of Atlantic Blvd. There is plenty of seating within, along with some outside seating if that's your vibe. Ambience is nice, and the place is decorated with Turkish lamps. The food at Taboon does not disappoint! Come through, and support local!
