Waffa's Kitchen is awesome-great food and friendly service! I was tempted to order everything after browsing through their tasty selection of entrees from the menu. Whether you have a craving for chicken kabob, falafel or homemade tabouleh-you can't go wrong. The owners definitely have their customers' best interest in mind. Waffa's team not only focuses on serving delicious meals, but it is evident they care about their customer's health and well being. Staff members follow social distancing guidelines (wearing face masks, enforcing safe distancing & providing clean pens for each patron paying by credit card). Thank you, Waffa's Kitchen, for providing such a memorable experience! I can't wait to come back! read more

If you don't believe go try there food at there Glendora Location. Jon is super helpful and really nice gentleman. There service is done Professionally and really organized. read more

Finally... FI-NAL-LY!! I came when they're still open!! If you check in- you get free baklava... whose going to say no thank you to that? I ordered me and my wife a beef kabob and chicken swarma. Oh my goodness!! My wife and I devoured our plates... completely. Lol!! We didn't have much to say during our meals bc we were just astounded by the flavors of the rice pilaf, the marinade. It was a great experience!! This is a definite treasure here in Glendora. Just love these family owned restaurants. They're close by and the prices are reasonable. Would I recommend this place to my family? Heck I'll bring them here!! That's how great it was! Just wished their hours were more on the tail end of 7pm or 730pm. That would help with people coming home from work to grab something before going home but I understand they have families of their own to have dinner with. So it's all good. read more

Waffa's Kitchen - Finally!! Looking forward to tasting and flavoring this long time venue. Can't wait to dive in!! - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendora, California

Love this place. I get my meat pies in bulk. They're amazing as well as the kibble balls and everything else.

We had the best experience ever using the catering services of Waffa's Kitchen! With over 110 people for my husband's 50th birthday, there were a lot of dishes to prepare, keep warm/fresh, and display. From the first phone call, the owner Antoine was extremely accommodating and also gave us great suggestions to maximize our variety. We had meat eaters, vegetarians, and vegans to please. Not one person went without food. Vegan Kibbee balls.. oh my!!!! Of course the rest of my family is obsessed with the real Kibbee!! I had friends taking pictures of the food and talking about it for days after the party. I can't wait to order from them again. I'm preparing some of my holiday dinners around their food. Slightly addicted. Just saying. 5 stars is too low for how good their food and service was read more

New local place that we tried this week. We got the tabbouleh, the sfiha, fried kibbeh, and falafel. Everything was good but I really liked the tabbouleh and the fried kibbeh, they tasted authentic and delicious. We were not too hungry when we ordered the food so I will be going back there hungrier to try more stuff. Keep it up!! read more

The lamb chops were great and good rice too . But everything else wasn't good. There was no flavor in the hummus and the baklava tasted old . read more

I just recently had my 50th birthday party and had the pleasure of hiring Waffa's kitchen catering services. We had such a pleasant experience with Jhon planning for my event . He is so professional and pleasant to deal with answered all of our questions and accommodated all of our requests. Come party day his team consisting of himself , two waiters and a bartender were very pleasant and professional to work with. They were very attentive to everyone's needs. As for the food it was the most delicious food I have had from a middle Eastern restaurant thus far. All my guests enjoyed it . The presentation was top notch and the food was abundant . Thank you waffa's kitchen and especially jhon for making my 50th birthday party so much more special . read more

Amazing amazing amazing. I have tasted many different Lebanese restaurants in the area and this place is for sure one of the best is not #1.

Delicious food! Great little mom and pops spot. Chicken kabob was tender and flavorful. Hummus and falafel were both delicious as well. First time trying it, we plan to come back. read more

Came here for lunch. Tender chicken breast, lovely, masked owners. Good food! Can't wait to try more!

A hidden gem in Glendora. Like family here. Outstanding food. Very good prices. Highly recommend.

The best Mediterranean food in the area, hands down. Fantastic staff, and the most amazing hummus ever.

The chicken pita sandwich is s bargain at 5 dollars. I could have had a falafel for the same price. I asked for the sauce on the side, since most of the time, sauce makes the sandwich soggy. The owners are friendly and the service is quick. It's a teeny place. I went on a Sunday and sat in a spot right in the window. A family of 6 was enjoying a lunch and every thing looked fresh and authentic. read more

TLDR: Waffa's Kitchen is a place that will treat you like you are family. While trying to decide what to eat one day, my friend suggested we should get Mediterranean food. We saw this place on Yelp and after trying we were surprised. The owner served us and was beyond courteous. He gave us the history of the restaurant and clearly showed a passion for the work he is in. He brought us some hummus and garlic sauce on the house. I have to say that the hummus here is one of the best I had ever had. Just from looking at it you know it's going to be good. It's so airy and light on the palette. The garlic sauce is beyond anything that I have ever tasted. I would come back just to order a side of this. 110% recommend this!! I had the shrimp kabob plate! The shrimp were cooked so gently and well seasoned. It also came with a salad, rice, pita and of course more hummus! This place is a hidden gem! It's hard to find a restaurant that makes EVERYTHING from scratch!! I have to say that Waffa's Kitchen is now my favorite Mediterranean restaurant in the SGV! read more

We stopped here for lunch and got chicken kabob plate, mutabal, and lamb chops plate. The plates came with rice, hummus, and a vegetable. The chicken came with salad while the lamb came with stewed green beans. Everything was so tasty. If you like lamb, I highly recommend the lamb chops- ridiculously tender and very flavorful. The green beans were delicious, as was the mutabal. Their garlic sauce is also excellent- not too strong but definitely strong enough. The owner also gave us some cheese pastries to try, and these were also great. Overall a great spot for Lebanese/Mediterranean fare. read more

Tastes fine, good amount, and quick service. Great spot for a grab between work. Ambiance is on the homier side. Would come back for the food. read more

A friend of mine ordered Waffa's Kitchen for a large gathering we had & I absolutely loved it. Now it has become my go to spot for authentic Mediterranean cuisine!! I usually order the chicken or beef kabobs (they are insanely good) but everything on the menu is delicious. If you've got a sweet tooth, you've got to try the Baklava too. The staff is always super friendly & accommodating. Plus it makes for a great lunch spot. Try it once & you'll be hooked. Trust me. You'll thank me later. read more

Very disappointed. $62 for this. The meat is minimal and overcooked. I could pay this amount dining in somewhere with better food and bigger quantities say for example Zankou. We got the wrong order on the beef shawarma and to add only 3 pitas. One pita per meal? The taste was basic. I don't plan on returning. Anyone who gives this 5 stars is someone who doesn't know real Mediterranean food! I can see why this place is always dead! Don't be fooled by the reviews that they are busy! I live near them and its ways empty! Never once in my last 2 years has it been busy. read more

Waffa's Kitchen - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendora, California

My falafel sandwich was dry and they didn't give me any sauce. It was disappointing. The mini spinach and cheese pies were good though.

I've been coming to Waffas for a few years now and there's no place like it. The quality of the food is extraordinary. The consistency is why I continue to come back and enjoy this place every single time.The food has soul, it taste like real food, real ingredients, very warm and comforting like your at home for a family dinner. The service is great and they always have your food ready within 15-20 min. The ambiance is nice & calm. Overall this is my favorite place to get food. read more

I came here since I was close by and I wanted to try something different. When I came, they had their menu on the window. You can see in the back to the kitchen and that they seemed busy since they're mostly a catering place. But a lady took my order of grilled chicken with hummus and pita with a salad. Nice lady but took nearly 20-30 minutes since they're doing a large catering order at the same time. Not alot of seating and it was small. The food was delicious though. read more

Catering catering catering. My friend and I had Waffas do a event for our business. Our clients were very impressed by the high cleanliness of the kitchen and the preparing area for the food. These very kind people brought out the best quality of food especially the beef kabob plate. Their service was fabulous and catered to all their needs perfectly. In fact two other friends have set up future plans for upcoming banquets because of the professional service that they have provided and excellent quality of food. They do travel quite a radius out. I suggest that you call first. Again thank you Waffas for a great evening event read more

Most people take out or use them for catering - only 3 tables inside. They're located on Foothill Blvd just west of Glendora Avenue. They're in the plaza next to a liquor store & barber. Really sweet couple works here. Fatoush salad is okay, you can ask them to add chicken or beef in it. (Fatoush salad at The Chicken King is better). PHOTO: (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/6OczaGrXa9z15wtmd5DU8A?userid=JXt_vd2l_SkhFZdablieUg#iPi1PHLRxOrDN1G5IpVjkQ) Chicken Shawarma plate ($10) is fabulous! Flavorful moist chicken on top of fluffy rice with hummus, small salad, pitas, and garlic spread.The garlic spread is not too pungent like Zuzu's, but it's a little stronger compared to Zankou's. PHOTO: (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/6OczaGrXa9z15wtmd5DU8A?userid=JXt_vd2l_SkhFZdablieUg#SkLgY8Ehns6SX_LFs8juqw) Chicken Shawerma: 5/5 Customer Service: 5/5 Baklava: 4/5 Fatoush salad: 3/5 Wait time: 3/5 (15-20 minutes) Dining area: 2/5 They offer a lot of authentic Arabic/Lebanese dishes. If you want to order some of them, it's good to call ahead. For example for the cabbage wrap you would have to call at least 1-2 days ahead (They have to buy the cabbage etc) If you check-in via Yelp, you get one free Baklava! (which is also made fresh every day here!) read more

tried this place for the first time in the afternoon around 3pm... Hungry as always :) I didn't realized that they mainly do catering but they had no problem if I want to eat there. there. Super nice friendly people. They were really BUSY working in the kitchen...so I was like the kid at my own house ALONE in the dining room while mom busy cooking in the kitchen. It took about 15 mins to have my order ready. I ordered the beef kabob plate, the salad dressing was too sour for my taste. Hummus was delicious. Rice tasted like instant rice (that's a little strange). The beef was very tender and the original flavor was not overpowered by the spices. The Pita bread was the kind you probably can buy at supermarket. (they actually just gave me 2 pita breads in the plastic bag said Arabic Bread, from Good N' Fresh bakery, Santa Ana) I really like their food but It was a little hot inside so I think I will just get a to go order next time. read more

I recommend this spot highly! I got the Chicken Shawarma it was fire!! So damn good! And the price was rock bottom cheap compared to other spots. Every ingredient tasted fresh and the veggies were crisp. Check them out! They have other good looking menu items too. I'm going to back to try their Branzino next time! read more

I've been coming here for years. Friendly staff, great food and I willingly paid their price increase BUT portion sizes of food are terrible now - just unfair! Everything from the meats (of couse) to the miserable amount of counted veggies. The amount of food you're getting is just not worth it you will not get full. I placed 3 separate orders (on different dates) hoping it was just a bad day - but NOPE, this is their new standad. Sadly, I'll be looking for a new location that is fair with their food portions. read more

Still the best in town! Amazing service with friendly staff. Food is always cooked with amazing flavor and plenty for one person. Chicken is cooked perfect every time. Come support your local businesses! We will be back for more read more

After a long day of studying the last thing I wanted to do was cook. Decided to order out and that ended up being the best part of my day! The employee I talked to was so kind and friendly. After hearing about all the time I spent with homework and how I'm just about to graduate he added some complementary baklava as a congratulations. Little acts of kindness can change someone's whole day. Truly a great place to eat but what stands out most is their customer service. Thank you! read more

Best Mediterranean food in the state! Very clear and awesome business in all. From the owner to all the employees thank you! They are also within walking distance of down town!! read more

Where do I begin? I'll start with the excellent customer service and the general treatment by everyone, from the first initial phone call, I was greeted kindly and helped. I was recommended this place my my uncle to cater my wedding, my now husband and I had stopped by to check out the food and told them we're looking to cater for our upcoming wedding. We ordered a few things to try. Let me just say, every bite we took, we fell more and more in love with the food! The meat was the best, juiciest and perfectly cooked meat I have ever tried. The rice was full of flavor, and everything else was just like eating my moms cooking. The tabouleh HANDS DOWN was the best tabouleh I have ever tried next to my moms. Any time I've tried tabouleh at a restaurant, it was not chopped properly, lacking flavor and didn't pack a punch. This was by far the best! Fast forward to October, 2 weeks before my wedding we ordered for my birthday dinner. My whole family fell in love with the food. My wedding just passed this weekend, we had about 30 guests but ordered for about 50. The food was gone! Everyone came up to us to tell us how excellent the food was and that they had gone for not only seconds, but thirds! The service was incredible. John catered and was so helpful! I can't wait to have kids and have Waffa's kitchen host our kids birthdays and baptisms and any other occasions in between. You can also always stop by to just grab Sunday lunch or whatever! read more

My husband and I come from LA to do a job near by. We decided to stop by and try their food. Let me tell you, it was so delicious. Too bad we live an hour away, but if we come back to the city we definitely coming back here. One happy couple read more

Waffa's Kitchen - I got the Chicken Shawarma. So yummy - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendora, California

While I liked Waffa and ordered delivery service my order was not delivered correctly not Waffas fault. I will try it again but go in and try. Food was just ok. This review will be updated when and if I go back in and try it. They've been in Glendora along time so I'm sure the food is better then what I got through one of the delivery services. read more

I have been coming here for years 3 times a week minimum. The chicken kebab, chicken shwarma, and beef kebab are out of this world. John, Tony, and Waffa know me on a first name basis and greet me every time. I have never been disappointed. read more

OMGosh, I swear there is something in their rice that is addicting. I can't get enough. I normally get the steak kabobs and they are always tender. The hummus is super good!! Way more food than you would expect for the price. read more

I've been here a few times for several years now. I don't know why I don't come more often. I've always had a good experience here with amazing customer service and good food. I used to get the tabouleh before class when I didn't want to get messy or feel too full and every time it tasted bomb! I hate when it's not sour enough or when it's dry. I had it again today along with the kibbeh...the kibbeh & the tabouleh were SO yummy. Neither of it was dry or too salty like some places. Highly recommend! They have amazing catering options as well. **Update: This place deserves an extra 10 stars for taking extra little precautions amidst the covid pandemic we are currently experiencing. Hand sanitizer was available in the front and there were containers for used and clean pens. I've been to a few places for takeout and can't say they've done any of that. I wanted to also add that I've had my family try this place out and they LOVED it. read more

I've visited this place twice but my wife ordered to go once. The food was amazing. The reason I'm giving it 2 stars is the service. First time I came here on a Saturday around 2pm. I saw the open sign on and walked in. I saw tables and chairs put away and figured only take out. The guy told me unfortunately they had a big 200 order catering service so they weren't taking orders. Didn't really apologize about it just explained they couldn't take the order. We left. Second time they were open today (5/27/23) 3pm. We came in and waited behind other customers ordering. They seemed busy so we grabbed a menu and sat out self down. We waited about 15 min and no one came to take our order. I assumed the guy behind the counter was the only one. He even went to grab the people that were ordering a snack to try. My wife and I decide to leave. After we left one of the guys come out from back where we were sitting and just wipes the table down. They couldn't take our order cause they were busy but not busy enough to wipe our table down after we left. I really love Mediterranean food. Too bad. read more

This is a great family business with delicious food and excellent service. I had made a prior order in which there was a slight mix up. In the Covid-19 atmosphere with so much takeout orders and especially during the holidays when I made the order a human error can happen. So when I brought this up to Tony one of the main operators of this business. He really went out of his way to find out how the mix up happened so for it not to be repeated and got back to me and explained the situation and more then made up for the mix up in my next order. To me this really showed they care about their customers experience. The food is really delicious so just for that, I would return but knowing its a family business with owners that really care about their customers, makes Waffa Kitchen my #1 destination for Mediterranean Cuisine in the San Gabriel Valley! read more
