"This place does not offer dine in, it's a take out only. The owner and coworkers are very friendly and welcoming. They make everything as ordered.The price maybe in the low 20s but the portion is good for 2 people, or 2 meals for one person. The taste and texture of the meat are one of the best I have had. The chicken meat was juicy and tender. The pomegranate flavoring really sunk into the meat. The salad was fresh too. The owner offered us some dessert to try. It was really nice of him. I really appreciate the gesture. I would rate this 4.9 out of 5. Please try this place out for your taste bud!"
"Yummy, fresh and quick food. The garlic sauce is AMAZING!! I would def recommend the Byblos combo platter, the meat was super tender and delicious. The shawarma was not very flavorful but it was okay. That said, I don't think I would order it again and would rather get the Byblos combo. The steak pieces were my favorite and super juicy and the kufteh kabob was tender and well seasoned!! Will definitely get those again. The falafel was also good and crispy. The restaurant was clean and had plenty of space to dine there but we took our food to go."
"~ WOW JUST WOW ~It was my first time trying Lebanese food and Zait & Zaatar did not disappoint!! I've tried other MEDITERRANEAN cuisines prior, but oh my, nothing like this! I grew up just down the street from this spot, but they unfortunately opened right when I moved out for college. Thankfully, my mom introduced us to this wonderful spot just recently! I'll for sure be back again when I visit my hometown.~ FLAVOR TOWN ~This spot deserves 5 stars for several reasons. One of them is that the dishes are super FLAVORFUL and the SERVINGS are HUGE. I got the FALAFEL SANDWICH and every bite was just spot on. I also snuck in a few bites of the fresh SAJ BREAD and dipped it in HUMMUS from my husband's plate. You can tell that everything was made fresh. They really got the balance of flavors right with every single dish.~ FRIENDLY STAFF ~I'm a little surprised to see some of the negative reviews here. We experienced nothing but friendly and accepting vibes from the staff. We had a chance to mingle with one of the owners and he even hooked us up with some fresh not-so-MINI ZAIT. I'm already looking forward to my next visit here. Can't wait to be back again!"
"I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while and finally got the chance to today. We had the birria crunch wrap, beef, tacos, and chicken tender burger. The food was made fresh and was very tasty. The waitress kept asking us what else we would like if we needed anything and kept putting up with all of us asking for different salsas. She was so attentive and I really love restaurants that take care of their customers and that's what I look for when I go into a restaurant. The portions are very generous and definitely can be shared!"
"We walked into this place and fount it very tasty & fresh We are middle eastern and picky w food I am more selective about my Lebanese cuisine since the freshness is a key ingredient Shawarma was delicious and warm Sauces were tasty Owners are kind"
"Where to begin.... We engaged Rashad and his team to set up an on site shawarma and falafel station in addition to a buffet style lunch with all the traditional "fixins" They went so far above and beyond any of my wildest expectations from a food vendor. He made us feel like we were his own family and that same love and affection showed through in the quality of the food. If I had more accounts to post positive reviews I would but I will keep it short and simple - if you are having a party of any size (ours was 100 people) book Falasophy and your guests will be amazed. I have gotten legit 10 requests to share Rashad's company and info. And it is the happiest and strongest recommendation I can give."
"Very well made Lebanese food. In an area with so many "Mediterranean cuisine" spots, Barbonzai does their menu well. Falafel wraps are good Chicken bowl was great If you ask, they can make cheese and zaatar flatbread (it's just not listed on the menu)."

I went today for a late lunch and had the platter with chicken, tabbouleh and baba ghanoush with the garlic sauce. It was so fresh and tasted delicious. So to be fair I am upgrading my review of Barbonzai to 5 stars. Well done and I will be back

Tzatziki is such a winner here!Chicken shawarma isn't bad, but tastes very good with the above sauceBaklava is bomb and easy to eat$30 for a chicken shawarma + tabbouleh, fed two adults Will come back for the beef!Falafel is deep fried ==================Lentil soupIt's not bad, but it is easy to eat and it tasted homemade. It also comes with rice with carrots and lentils, can prolly ask for less rice next time.Tabbouleha bit soggy, lacking some brightness/acidity than I'd like. There's less bulgar wheat loads of t. It was missing some texture from the greens even though you see them there lolChicken shawarma isn't bad. It's a little on the small side, pita is soft and pliable. I really enjoyed it with the homemade tzatziki, which is a must add.Baklavais great. Ronny threw in a sample and theirs is more airy, wonderfully buttery, with pistachios and it is less saturated with the syrup which I'm ok with. I can eat 5 of these easy without feeling gross lolService was very friendly and personable. I wasn't sure what to order and Ronny guided me through the popular items and answered any questions that I had.

My husband and I decided to try this place since we were at the hospital right around the corner from it. So happy we chose this place over another restaurant that had a lot of stars but comments of rude owner.Sam and Roman made sure we were happy with our meal. I ordered the #7 recommended by Roman which had the kebab chicken, kafta and beef. All 3 proteins were tender and juicy with lots of flavor. My husband ordered the chicken salad with the shwarma chicken which was nice and crispy on the edges and juicy and tender on the inside. Don't hesitate to try this place. The food was excellent and customer service priceless. We will be coming back next time we are in the area! Thank you Sam and Roman and sorry forgot the chef's name but he did excellent with preparing the food!

We recently dined at Fatima's Grill in Garden Grove, a Halal Lebanese restaurant in Anaheim. The restaurant was nearly empty when we arrived, and we found the interior to be moderately clean and nicely decorated. The space is large enough to accommodate up to 60 people, and the parking facility in Garden Grove Town Center was convenient.We ordered the Chicken Shawarma Wrap, Beef Shawarma Wrap, and Steak and Shrimp Fries. Unfortunately, the service was slow, and we waited around 20 minutes for our food. The taste of the dishes was disappointing overall. The Chicken Shawarma Wrap was average, while the Beef Shawarma Wrap had a bad taste and a strange raw smell. The only dish we enjoyed was the Steak and Shrimp Fries, which had a great flavor.Although the portion sizes were generous, we felt that the food was overpriced given the lackluster taste. On a positive note, the staff was friendly and accommodating. Overall, our experience at Fatima's Grill was mixed, with some hits and misses.

This place absolutely knocked our wedding out of the park! Rashad was a pleasure to work with from the very first minute we walked into his shop in Santa Ana to test out some menu options. My then fiance had been on a keto diet for over a month, and legit cried real tears when she started eating Falasophy's offerings. We had a 300 person wedding, and EVERY SINGLE guest had nothing but fantastic things to say about how wonderful the food and their experience was. Very much looking forward to working with Rashad and the Falasophy food truck again real soon. Thank you for helping make our big day so special!

"Solid to-go spot with pretty large portions for each plate! The menu is pretty straightforward with plates, pitas, bowls, and some sides. Pricing feels fair for the quality of food! ($15-20+)The Trio Kebab Plate had ground beef, ribeye, and chicken - all of which were pretty good and flavorful. This would be great to share with another person to try a variety without having to order them separately. I also got the Steak Shawarma Plate which had good flavor, but unfortunately, it was quite dry. Luckily, they did provide some sauces which helped with the dryness, along with the rice and hummus. The side salad that comes with the plates is really tasty with the variety and dressing! I could eat more of that alone.Overall, the service was quick and friendly, and the food pretty tasty. They have a small patio to sit on if you wish to eat there, otherwise it's very to-go friendly. Looks like they also share the kitchen with their other restaurant, BEI."
"Dizzy bird is one of my new favorite places. High quality fast food. Everything is delicious. The rotisserie chicken is cooked to perfection. The roasted potatoes with garlic and lemon are delicious. The chicken wraps are full of flavor and toasted to perfection. Even the salads are made with the best ingredients and are quite filling. And not to mention that the service is excellent.Please don't change anything about your menu!!!See you again soon."
"I don't know how this place got a 4.5 rating. I was getting my car fixed next door and this looked like a solid nearby option for lunch but this place is expensive for what it is (18 bucks for a chicken bowl) and it's not authentic. It wasn't bad tasting, just average but def not worth the price imo."
"Food was authentic, fresh and tasty! I uses Yelp to find a fresh salad in the neighborhood and once again, Yelp doesn't disappoint! I had ..Garlic sauce (dip) 10/10Spicy potato's 10/10Fettoush Salad 10/10 The restaurant was quiet and decorated in traditional Lebanese decor. The service was kind. Food is prepared to order so please come with time to relax and enjoy, not being pushy or rude to the staff who is working hard to show you love through the food. I'll be back!"
"What a GEM to have in Costa Mesa. Delicious food, great hookah, and management is spot on. We went here once and immediately asked for a dinner party reservation for my girlfriend's birthday a few weeks later. Love their hummus and falafel. Good selection of wines and prosecco. The Mazaya Love Hookah is also spectacular. Note: Service is very..."leave you along unless you need something". Wave down a server when you need something."
"This restaurant is very quaint and the food was on point. I really enjoyed the dishes we ate because I'm middle eastern and the food was just like my mom made it. Also, the staff was very sweet and did a great job to make us feel welcome!"
"The food is so good, fresh and tasty. I love the chicken but husband preferred beef. The salad and pickled vegetables were perfect and pita bread light. The owners, husband and wife were very kind. We recommend and will be back. Thank you!"
"Good service, the inside was unique with a lot of interesting designs on the wall. I ordered the cheese boat, along with the lahmajun and the manakish of za'atar and cheese, they were all quite good, and I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a middle eastern breakfast. The tea really topped off the experience of being authentic. Would go again when I'm back in Anaheim."
"Run to the Chicken shop right now! Get the bowl, bowl and please order the garlic chili! Wow, what a great pairing in flavor. The bowl has lemon quinoa which I was a little skeptical about but trust me the flavor was big hit with my palate. Service was fast for dinner time but don't ask them to rush as they are preparing everything fresh. Nothing frozen! All healthy. Cozy atmosphere inside but they have tables outside. I didn't have time to eat at the location but next time I do, I will pair my bowl with a beer which is readily available onsite! Coming back here to tomorrow."
"Excellent little place along the Packing District Stripe with outdoor seatings where you can enjoy the beautiful neighbourhood.Staff were super polite and will bring the food to your table if you Dine In.What a good option if you are mobile when you come for Disneyland."
"The falafel is sooo crispy and fresh. 10/10 on taste and authenticity. I got the lunch plate and it's soooo good. Great food and service."
"Grew up in Lebanon, I regularly cook at home and let me tell you.. this place is legit. I have been living here for a while and this is definitely the most authentic lebanese food you will find in the area. I read some people complaining about the price and location.. here's my take: - the food is very high quality and fresh, i will pay extra $ any day for something this good. I have a sensitive stomach and I can tell right away when the food is old or low quality (ex. Fake lemon juice or too much fat), it's NEVER happened here. It is definitely worth it (& healthy btw). - Yes yes it's a ghost kitchen, I think they're kinda starting up so I get it. If you are a bit lost about where to pick up the food, just call them. Bassel was kind enough to go out of his way and meet up with me at a parking lot to give me the food. Once you find your way around there it's pretty simple. My go to order is the chicken shawarma. It is done exactly the way I like it. Bonus point if you get their rice pudding for dessert ! The baba ghanouj and hummus are very good too. ITldr; great spot, service & food go support local restaurants :) !!"
"The food here tastes excellent and fresh. The prices here are very reasonable and they have great lunch specials.I love the chicken skewers, chimichurri and garlic sauce as well as the Greek salad, so good!!!!!! Staff is friendly.We are regulars now!"
"Fun Middle Eastern Experience.....Pros: Excellent food. Big menu. Very friendly service.Cons: Parking can be tough during weekend eveningsStar Ratings:- Overall: 5- Location: 4- Ambiance: 4- Menu: 5- Food Quality: 5- Food Portions: 5- Service: 5- Price: 5- Value: 5- Parking: 3My wife and I were in the eastern suburbs of Los Angeles during the Veterans Day weekend to celebrate a milestone birthday in the family. On Saturday night, 9 of us went to a long time favorite restaurant in the heart of Fullerton.....Les Amis.Here are the pros and cons:Pros:- Location: Central. Right in the core of downtown Fullerton (which is also a con...see below).- Menu: Large. Les Amis bills itself as "Lebanese", but the menu had lots of Middle Eastern favorites from areas outside Lebanon.- Quality of Food: Excellent. My wife and I had the "Mediterranean Shrimp" platter ($31) which they describe as "skewers of shrimp with vegetables in a cayenne pepper, lemon zest marinade and garlic butter sauce accompanied by hummus, pita bread and side salad". It looked and tasted as good as it sounds.I don't know what other members of the family had, but everyone seemed satisfied.The table shared 2 plates of a dessert called "Chocolate Biscuit" ($9) which was pudding inside a soft biscuit served in bite sized pieces. It was mighty good.- Service: Very friendly. The owner's family took care of our large table and were always around to help out.- Atmosphere: Casual and popular. Most of the tables in the main room and large outdoor patio were occupied during our 90 minute meal. Nice vibes.- Parking: Plenty when it's not busy. Not much on a weekend evening.Cons:- Location: About a block from the Times Square of Fullerton which means the location is easier to find than parking on weekends.....even though there's a big lot right behind the restaurant.- Parking: See above. It just depends on the day and time.Overall, Les Amis is a fine choice for Middle Eastern food with a focus on Lebanese specialties."
