    Great food. Great Customer Service. Clean Restaurant. You should try it and I'm sure you would love it.

    Grape Molasses with Tahini and Nuts - with Simit

    If you're not licking your fingers by the end, you did it wrong. Came back here after a few years away, and wow--somehow it's even better than I remembered. This place has leveled up. Middle Eastern breakfast dreams are made right here in Anaheim. We devoured the foul (aka the best fava bean dish in SoCal), and the manakeesh? Let's just say I had to talk myself out of ordering three more. Everything was so good, I didn't even think to snap a photo until the plates were basically evidence of a crime scene. (Exhibit A: see photo.) Just when we thought we were too full to move, we spotted another table get the grape molasses with walnuts and simit--and well, we caved. No regrets. The perfect sweet, nutty, sticky ending to a flawless meal. (Yes, we did take a photo of that one.) The tea was fresh and minty, the pickles hit just right, and the warm, fluffy bread is the kind you want to wrap your whole life in. Friendly vibes, cozy setup, and a kitchen that knows exactly what it's doing. Al Sanabel isn't just a bakery--it's a ritual. Already plotting my next return.

    You can never go wrong here. I took a photo after we already started to eat them but at least you can see a quick image. The flavors/taste is amazing. Very friendly the minute you walk in and per usual quick service

    I was there during the grand opening of the original Al Sanabel in the 1990s. I am good friends with the original owner, Nadeem, and my father also worked for Al Sanabel Restaurant for many years. It was always a great place to eat, and a great hang out for locals. Today, I took my family to eat dinner at Al Sanabel for the first time in many years since change of ownership. The new owners are a Syrian family with high standards. One thing I immediately noticed is that the food is rich and as good if not better than anything I've eaten here throughout the past 25 years. This tells me they are making an investment in their future. I will be coming back. They know how to prepare a good Mediterranean dish whether it's Lebanese, Turkish, or Syrian!

    Breakfast is amazing!!!

    This restaurant is family owned and operated. The establishment is super clean, the food is so fresh and so delicious! The brothers really go above and beyond. I highly recommend the Adana Kabab, Sarma Beyti, The Cheese and Sojouk Boat, breakfast spread, and all the way down to their tea. It never disappoints!

    We absolutely love Al Sanabel!! I can't believe we have been coming here for five years!! Whenever we are craving Middle Eastern pizzas we always run to Al Sanabel!! I'm not sure if that's what they are actually called but that's what we call them. We always get their spinach and cheese pizza along with their minced beef pomogranite pizza. Both are our favorites!! And both are absolutely delicious!! They sometimes serve them rolled up so you can eat them like burritos. Each pizza is about four slices so if you are starving I recommend two pizzas per person. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. They only have canned and bottles drinks which you choose from their fridges and you can grab any before you pay. They recently added a new menu with many new exciting items!! I can't wait to try their new dishes!!

    Ver nice and clean restaurant. Delicious food. They have Mediterean , Turkish food. I went for breakfast and they made my day . Will make it my routine and would absolutely recommend.

    spinach and cheese pizza

    I was craving Arabic pizza again so we came back for breakfast. This time I ordered the ones we got last time plus something different. The kafta and the spinach and cheese pizza were new -- and omg it was so good I think next time I'll skip the lahmbiajin and go straight to the kafta instead!! The spinach and cheese was also very flavorful with just the right amount of saltiness to it. Spinach is not cooked but sprinkled atop the pizza. Totally delicious and highly satisfying!!! I can't get enough of this place!

    Sesame pita. Unfortunately, their bakery goods were not fresh.

It's only about 7 minutes from the parks, making it the perfect lunch or dinner spot if you're craving something flavorful that won't leave you feeling heavy. Everything we ordered was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. The spinach pastry was hands down my favorite, perfectly flaky with a delicious savory filling. The potato pastry was a close second and just as satisfying. If you visit, don't skip the pastries! We also tried the steak and chicken kebab combo plate, and both were cooked perfectly. The chicken was especially tender, juicy, and seasoned beautifully. You can actually watch the meat being cooked fresh in the back, which made the whole experience feel even more authentic. I ordered the veggie plate with falafel, baba ganoush, tabbouleh, hummus, and tahini sauce, and every single item was delicious. The falafel really stood out. It had a perfectly seasoned, crispy exterior with a soft, flavorful center. Dipping it into the baba ganoush, hummus, and tahini made every bite even better. One of my favorite things was that the meal was incredibly satisfying without feeling greasy or overly heavy. It was fresh, filling, and packed with flavor, but I still felt great afterward. The staff was warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly, and the service was impressively fast. They also have a great selection of Mediterranean spices if you want to bring some of those incredible flavors home. Huge compliments to the chef and the entire team. Between the fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, generous portions, and excellent service, Zait Zataar has definitely earned a spot on my list of favorite Mediterranean restaurants. I'll absolutely be coming back!

Even better -- it was my parents' first time trying Lebanese food, and they absolutely loved it. Watching them light up with every bite was honestly the highlight of the whole meal. The chicken kabob was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned with that bright lemon‑garlic flavor Lebanese cuisine is known for. Every piece had that beautiful char from the grill -- the kind that makes you pause and appreciate how good simple food can be. The beef kabob was rich, smoky, and incredibly satisfying. Tender enough to cut with a fork, packed with warm spices, and grilled just right. My parents kept saying, "Wow, this is delicious," after every bite -- and honestly, same. The falafel plate was a total winner -- crispy on the outside, soft and herb‑packed on the inside. Paired with creamy hummus, fresh veggies, and that tangy tahini sauce, it felt like the perfect balance of comfort and freshness. My parents were surprised by how much they loved the falafel. This spot delivered true Lebanese comfort food -- bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and plates that make you feel like you're being welcomed into someone's home.

With some updating and attention to cleanliness, this place could really stand out because the food is definitely worth coming back for.

Now I will be craving the delicious Aleppo hot sauce knowing I have to brave a nightmare parking lot. It's a teeny tiny parking lot with odd angles and bottlenecks with a surprising amount of restaurants sharing it. Makes zero sense. After circling three times I dropped my wife off and parked across the street risking getting towed. There's a ton of construction so hopefully more parking is on the way. That said, food is outstanding. Service was also perfection. Cuisine here is from Syria so there a lot of interesting dishes I haven't seen before. We started with deep fried spring rolls stuffed with akkawi cheese imported from Syria. Expensive but order it. I ordered the "khashkhash" kabob plate which was 4 grilled kefta kabobs served on a surprisingly spicy sauce of tomatoes and Aleppo peppers. It was served with a mound of buttery rice sprinkled with Aleppo peppers and a cabbage salad. Honestly the best kabops I've ever had. Absolutely loved the flavors. I devoured the whole plate while eyeing the parking lot across the street for tow trucks. Portion could easily be shared. My wife went with the Gyro flatbread. I scoffed saying "this isn't a Greek restaurant" but the joke was on me because I was envious. House made flat bread topped with gyro, tzatziki, pickled onions, tomatoes, feta, sumac, and Aleppo peppers. I took a few bites and retracted my previous scoff. They had a large list of mocktails. I had the Vimto Mojito and my wife had the margarita. Both creative and flavorful. Lastly I tried the "Ashta" for dessert. It's an Aleppo signature per the menu and is a pudding like dessert of clotted cream, pistachio, strawberries, and honey. It's simple yet satisfying. Took me a few bites to acquire the flavor but I loved it more with each bite. My wife didn't care for it. They moved by Angel Stadium from their Brookhurst spot. Great place except the parking. Reservations are odd too. $25 penalty PER PERSON if you miss your reservation. It was definitely motivation to find parking.

The lamb stew was absolutely delicious, rich, warm ,savory, and full of comforting spices. The chicken was tender and flavorful, served over fragrant basmati rice that soaked up all those wonderful flavors. One thing I really enjoyed about this restaurant is the atmosphere. There is plenty of seating, plus a special traditional dining area where you can sit on the floor and enjoy your meal in a more authentic setting. That area does require a reservation, so keep that in mind if you want to experience it. Which would be fine for a group!
