Recently l have been frequenting Al Azayem often. I really enjoyed their beef kebab, beef shawarma and beef tikka. The beef is super juicy and full of flavor.

I absolutely will recommend this hole in the wall to anyone I know!

Everyone told me this was their favorite authentic Mediterranean food. My buddies brought me here because they wanted me to try it. We got the hummus & egg plant salad to start things off. Hummus was good but The egg plant salad was the best I ever had. Then we shared the breakfast, bastrma & eggs which was phenomenal. I got the combo plate, which is was packed with rice and meats. Came with two beef kabobs, chicken tikka, & chicken kabob. So yummy all the meats were flavorful. My buddy got the shawarma sandwich and loved it. They use fresh bread made daily. My other buddy got the biryani and loved it as well. I had a couple scoops of it and it was delicious. The restaurant was cleans and service was great. Definitely coming back here to try some more items.

I had a terrible experience here on 2/12/26 at around 2 pm. My dad and I came in to pick up their special deal for $25 (not including tax) which included a tray of fries and 4 shawarma wraps (2 chicken + 2 meat). We originally wanted to order online because we assumed it would be busy, but when we called, they told us to just come in because it “wasn’t busy.”

When we arrived, we noticed there were already tons of orders pre-bagged, tied shut, and sitting out. When we asked for the special, they handed us a bag within one minute of standing there. I was holding the bag and immediately noticed it was freezing cold. I had informed my dad but he said it’s fine, we’ll just warm it up at home.

After a 15minute drive home, we opened the order and everything was exactly as I suspected: ice cold, stale, and clearly not freshly made. The fries were cold and stale, and the wraps were cold and bland. On top of that, we realized they did not include the meat shawarma wraps at all, we received only chicken wraps instead.

The fries also looked NOTHING like what was advertised. They were smaller, thinner, and looked like they had been sitting out for a long time.

We called the restaurant to explain the issue and the man on the phone was extremely rude and hung up on my dad stating they were ‘sorry’. We drove back anyway (another 15–20 minutes due to traffic) and asked for a remake for a freshly made meal including the correct items. Instead of remaking it, they tried handing us another bag that was already prepared and sitting out and told us to bring back the old tray (while we were on the phone previously).

When my dad insisted we wanted it made fresh, the owner/chef, (the old man, maybe named Mazen) came out and started yelling, screaming, and cussing, causing a whole scene, stating he could not prepare a fresh meal because he ‘had no time’.

We were being treated horribly simply for asking for the correct order and warm food. He brought a pre-packaged meal that was shut tight with the bag, manager to rip it open like some animal, and told us it was “fresh”. My dad touched the meal, and it was FREEZING cold, the same as before.

To make it even worse, they refunded us in cash even though we paid by card, and the young guy with glasses gave us less money than what we paid and basically threw it at my dad’s face, then told us to get out.

We left with no food, wasted time, wasted gas, and were treated with complete disrespect. All we wanted was basic customer service and the correct order.

I would NOT recommend this place to anyone. If you care about fresh food and respectful service, avoid this restaurant.

The food was not what I was expecting, some meat was not cooked good ,
Pacha was not a good option, salad and soup were good,

Absolutely amazing Middle Eastern food!
Alazayam Restaurant truly captures the authentic flavors of the Middle East. Every dish is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The meat is always tender, the hummus and dips are perfectly seasoned, and the portions are generous. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere makes you feel right at home. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick meal or dining with family, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend the mixed grill and their fresh-baked bread

Mid. Food is underseasoned and some plates come with meat only with no rice. No clarification on the menu or from the waitress. Nothing special really. It feels like something is missing, maybe a sauce? You can find better Arab food here in El Cajon, and the competition is a lot lot better.
