My family and I’ve been going to this place for the past 4 years and I’m very happy we found this family owned place. The owner is super friendly and speaks a few languages including Lebanese and French. The food here has the same quality and taste of the original country and is the most authentic, I’ve ever tasted in the entire Orange County. The portion sizes are very generous. The store is very clean and all the ingredients are super fresh and tasty. I’m very picky with my restaurant choices, but I highly recommend you to give this place a try and you’ll see on your own and want to keep going back.

I needed catering for a 30-person event, and it couldn’t have gone better. The owner worked with me personally. He was extremely kind and generous, and we ended up with a perfect assortment of food.
And that food was AMAZING. The portions were large enough that we could send some home with the guests, and everyone was excited to eat it for another meal. I’ve been looking forward to the leftovers, too. The chicken and the garlic sauce are quickly becoming my favorites.
Thank you for elevating our event!

Saw this restaurant when I went to rent a car and we decided to give it a try for dinner. I called to ask a question about gluten free and spoke with the owner, Bilal. He was so nice! Told me about ordering online and getting points and answered my question. When we went to pick up our food. He asked me by my name and said he gave us some extra food to try, no charge, and accommodated me as a gluten-free person. His food is amazing and worth it! I highly recommend giving it a try. I can’t wait to go back!

This is our favorite Lebanese restaurant! The food is always made fresh and the owner Bilal makes you feel like family. He always makes sure to give me something new to try whenever we come. Seriously a great place with delicious, fresh authentic Lebanese cuisine. The potatoes and falafel are my favorite. Don’t forget to try the baklava too! Come and support this small business in our community!

amazing food. complex flavors – better than expected, given the ambiance was kind of average. super friendly owner. he says they don’t use any preservatives in their food, which is appealing.
I had plate #5, which was a mixed veggie plate with added 50/50 chicken and beef/lamb. of the items I loved the baba ghanoush, purple pickles, garbanzo bean dish, tabbouleh, and falafel the best. I didn’t take any pictures of the food i ate because it was too delicious to wait for a photo, haha.
I ordered additional of the favorites to go.
apparently, they cater as well – I may call on their services for this in the future.
the price was on the upper end of what I would expect, but the quality was good, so it guess it makes sense.
they charge a credit card processing fee, which matches what they must pay as company owners, vs. a cash discount, which i would have preferred.
lots of parking in the shopping center it’s located in.
this place is all about the food vs. a beautiful restaurant experience, so down 2 points for the atmosphere.

Really enjoy this restaurant and it’s always a go to where I can eat variety, healthy food for a good price. The dolmas are really something else for any one eating vegetarian; there’s is exceptionally flavorful. The moussaka, the vegetarian version with chickpeas is another big draw. Really recommended.

Delicious sandwiches. I tried both the Shish Taouk and Beef Kafta wraps and really enjoyed them. The owner is very friendly and welcoming. This was my first time here, and he recommended that I try the wraps Lebanese-style next time. A great spot that I look forward to visiting again.

Shish Taouk is fantastic! Authentic Lebanese flavors, friendly service, and they prepare pickup orders when you arrive so everything is fresh. We had the shawarma and it was excellent. Highly recommend.

The mixed shawarma plate was absolutely delicious! Best plate I have had in a longtime. The spices and seasoning are excellent and the owner told me they import all their spices from Lebanon. Super friendly staff, delicious unique Mediterranean food, healthy, nice clean atmosphere, highly recommend trying them out!

The shawarma sandwiches were outstanding. The ingredients were fresh, of good quality and tasted like authentic Labenese food. The service was friendly and they went above and beyond by calling me and giving me an extra side for being a first time customer. The place was clean and neat. I will be going back again soon.
