    This is a cozy and chic restaurant! Parking is a bit limited on the lot but you can park on the street. The staff is friendly and interior is beautifully decorated. Started with a pomegranate margarita to drink. For entrees we got mixed shawarma and kofta kebab. Finished the meal with knafe. Pomegranate Margarita- The base is strong with a refreshing pomegranate flavor. It has just the right amount of sweetness with a hint of tartness. Mixed Shawarma- It comes with chicken and beef shawarma. Both are tender and flavorful. It comes with warm pita bread, fattoush salad, and garlic and tahini sauce. The salad offers a freshness that complements the rest of the items. The sauces are perfect on the meat. Kofta Kebab- You get ground beef kebab that is seasoned and cooked to perfection. Pairs well with basmati rice and fattoush salad. You get a tasty yoghurt sauce that ties the flavors together. Knefe- This is a delicious dessert that comes with gooey cheese on a shredded phyllo base that is nice and crunchy. Finished with a sweet honey and rosewater syrup and a sprinkle of crushes pistachios. Great experience overall!

    Yalla Yalla you'll want to run over and check this place out. It is nice to have an authentic LEBANESE spot in the area! From food to decor my Lebanese GRANDMA was taken back to her roots. From the Thyme to Eat menu: I highly recommend the ZAATAR bread and CHEESE bread. I wasn't the biggest fan of the meat bread option but I think that comes down to preference. From the Bei menu: I loved the FATTOUSH salad which was beautifully presented. It was encased in a perfectly crisped piece of Arabic bread, which presented a break open concept for a fun surprising twist. I will be back with my grandma to try more from the menu!

    Great food, service, and ambiance! We went with the tasting menu for a group of 4. The cold/hot mezze platters were delicious and the meats were great. Our server, George was very friendly and helpful with recommendations.

    Came here with friends for a birthday celebration. We had a belly dancer and a DJ - playing music and dancing. They have small area for dancing. Service was really bad because we didn't get our drinks that we ordered and we didn't get water that we ordered. Many of us had to ask the servers for couple of times to bring the water and utensils to eat dinner. There were about 5 or 6 appetizers in small portions and we shared the plates of chicken kebabs, lamb kebabs, and beef kebabs. Rice came with the order. It was a family style dinner and we all shared the foods that we ordered. Appetizers included some salads and vegetables dishes and fried cheese sticks. Cocktail drinks were okay but pricey. Great place to hang out with friends with music, dancing, and hookah. It would have been a good rating if service was improved.

    Got the Kafta and substituted the fattoush for tabbouleh. The dish was very flavorful and delicious. Would definitely recommend.

    We came here for our Valentine's date on a Monday to avoid the crowd, and it was perfect. The setting is beautiful -- intimate lighting, roses on the table, and a great atmosphere. AJ took amazing care of us. He let us pick our seats, turned on the heater, and gave great recommendations from the hookah menu. We ordered the chicken shawarma and steak shawarma, and everything was high quality and absolutely delicious. The food does take a little time to come out, but it was 100% worth the wait. We also had the pomegranate margaritas -- beautiful presentation and amazing flavor (we ended up getting two). We cleaned every plate. Great service, great food, and an overall great experience. We'll definitely be back.

    so good. lamb chops in the shared meat plate absolutely blown my mind away. i will be thinking about this restaurant and bringing all my friends and family! service was really nice and offered us more pita wraps and additional sauce. i really liked the garlic sauce as well. the fattoush salad was so fresh and paired well with the meat so it didn't feel too heavy. very upbeat place that's great for hangouts and there's a DJ right in front playing groovy house music. it was a unique and delicious restaurant that i will be coming back for sure

    Absolutely delicious meal at BEI Restaurant. The grilled meats were perfectly cooked--juicy chicken, tender beef, and rich flavors in every bite. Fresh pita, creamy dips, and authentic Middle Eastern taste all around. Big thanks to AJ for the excellent service and great recommendations--he really made the experience special.

    Happy birthday boy

    I booked a huge family dinner for Martin at Bei for his birthday -- I'd be wanting to take him here for forever because it's his favorite cuisine -- and I was so happy that it didn't disappoint! Everyone had such a great time! Loved the beautiful atmosphere -- feels very date nighty! Even with our large group, service was impeccable -- so friendly and attentive! And the food -- amazinggg! If you have a party over 6 (we were 18) they give you a select menu to choose from that guarantees you more than enough food for everyone. We shared a bunch of dishes, and everything was super flavorful and fresh. Standouts were the juicy chicken kebab and all the side dishes to dip the pita bread in like the spicy hummus, labneh, and kibbeh nayyeh. Definitely our new fav Mediterranean spot and the perfect place for a family get together or celebration. We'll be back soon!

    Upon arrival there is a small amount of parking in the back. We had an early reservation at 530pm. They have a cute patio area intimate for a date or family dinner. Very cute vibe in here. They have alcoholic drinks and mocktails. They start off serving you pita chips with a sauce (idk what it was called). My friend loved it. We started with a hummus appetizer. The hummus tasted good and fresh. I wasn't a big fan of the pita, it had a whole wheat flavor to it. It wasn't bad, just not my preference. I ordered the strawberry crush mocktail IT Was SOO GOOD. And my friend ordered herself the cucumber mocktail and she loved it!! We then ordered the bei kabob platter. My favorites were the chicken, ribeye kabob and the lamb chops!! Delicious. I also loved the salad and whatever sauce they put on the pita chips was amazing. The salad was well balanced with a variety of flavors and freshness. The babaganoush was SO good and all the other sauces on the platter was too. The pita served with the platter had this spicy garlic sauce inside and it was To die!!!! Sooo goooood! Ended our night with baklava. It was a bit too sweet for me. Service was good. The servers here are attentive and sweet. Good looking too if I may add, and very professional! Shout out Oscar!! They told us that on weekends they have belly dancers, djs, singers, etc. and it usually starts around 8pm. They also have hookah for about $40. We didn't get any because we had to leave for our next plans. We will be back for the fun performances, cute vibes and delicious fooood!!

    Cairo Restaurant & Cafe - Anaheim Rating: (5/5)…read more I ordered from Cairo Restaurant & Cafe through Uber Eats, and this ended up being one of the most meaningful food experiences I've had in a long time. For context, I come from Egyptian heritage. I'm first-generation American, and both of my parents grew up in Cairo. The dishes I ordered -- Hawashy as an appetizer and Makaroni Bechamel (Bashmil) casserole -- are foods I grew up with. The last time I had this exact meal cooked for me by my mother was several years ago, so placing this order felt like a gamble, especially with the restaurant being all the way in Anaheim while I live in Irvine. That gamble paid off immediately. From the very first bite, the food tasted unmistakably authentic. The hawashy was deeply seasoned, rich, and comforting -- exactly how it's supposed to be, not watered down or adjusted for convenience. The makaroni bechamel was the real emotional gut punch in the best way possible. Creamy, savory, perfectly spiced, and layered the way it's done back home. It tasted like something made with care, patience, and respect for the dish. I'm not exaggerating when I say this meal hit me hard. After one bite, I literally called the restaurant just to thank them. I asked to speak to the manager and told him what this meal meant to me -- how it tasted like something my own mother would make, how it brought back memories I didn't realize I'd been missing. That call wasn't planned. It was instinctive. Huge shout-out to Zayne, the manager, who was incredibly kind and generous on the phone. He even sent along kunafa for dessert, which was the perfect ending to the meal -- warm, sweet, and beautifully made. Beyond the food itself, the packaging deserves real praise. Everything arrived hot, which is not easy, especially for a casserole like makaroni bechamel. Once that dish cools too much, it loses something important. This didn't. It arrived as if it had just come out of the oven, which speaks volumes about the care taken in preparing orders for delivery. This is not a 5-star review because of nostalgia or heritage alone. It's a 5-star review because the food was genuinely outstanding -- rich, decadent, comforting, and made the right way. It is very hard for me to say that something compares to my mother's cooking, but this truly came close. I cannot wait to come in person in the next few weeks. Cairo Restaurant & Cafe didn't just serve food -- they delivered a memory.

    Came in last night for a quick bite. Lots of people smoking hookah on the patio but I sat inside…read more Wasn't super hungry so I just got the lentil soup and hawawshy, which is an Egyptian street food where they stuff pita bread with ground beef and spices. Both dishes were good but not amazing. Another customer came in and I overheard him say, "this seems more like a hookah spot than a food spot." I'd have to agree with him
