Forn Al Hara - Cheese with Eggs - Middle Eastern Near Me - Anaheim, California

See all

Stopped by to meet up with a friend for breakfast. What a gem! We got a delicious meal to share for 3 for about 35 dollars, and everything tastes great. My tops were the Zaatar and the cheese bread. I imagine it's hard to go wrong, however. Some of the dishes were a bit spicy for me, but it was nothing a splash of the provided lemon slice and the great pickles couldnt cut through. Overall, loved it and would come back. Ah and we ended our meal with some incredibly fresh tasting baklava for about a dollar a piece. No skimping on nuts either! Loved this and cant wait to come back! read more

If you know, you know and this spot is the definition of a hidden gem. I was put on by friends who grew up in the Middle East and told me this place is the real deal so of course I had to try it. Let's just say they did NOT steer me wrong. From the moment you walk in, you already see people walking out with boxes on boxes which tells you everything. This is the kind of place you come to eat and to cater. They do have plenty of seating, but during peak hours it definitely gets crowded and packed. A true sign of how loved this place is. The ambiance adds to the experience too. I especially love the Middle Eastern paintings on the walls. It gives the space a warm, cultural, and authentic feel. First off, the bread. All house made and incredibly fresh. You can taste the quality in every bite. From the dough to the toppings, everything feels intentional and authentic. The spinach pies... absolutely next level. Spinach packed generously and bursting with that bright, zesty lemon flavor, mixed with onions and olive oil. Perfectly balanced and so satisfying. Muhamara had a nice kick today. It had a medium spice level with just enough heat to keep things interesting (and honestly, I love that it varies a bit. It feels homemade every time). The cheese manaeesh is a WOW. The cheese blend they use is so good. I'm lactose sensitive and somehow never feel bloated after eating it which says a lot. And the safiha... You can literally taste the depth of the seven spices, with a hint of cinnamon that ties it all together beautifully. Everything is made to order. So yes be prepared to wait at least 20 minutes. But trust me, it's 100% worth it. Quality like this takes time. What really seals the deal is the people. The owners and staff are beyond welcoming. The kind of place where you instantly feel like family. I've become a regular, and every visit feels like coming home. Authentic, fresh, flavorful, and made with heart. Don't sleep on this spot. read more

An overdue review for Forn Al Hara, my top 3 favorite places to visit in little arabia, along with kareem's falafel, and hallab 1881 for sweets. Not only because of the delicious flatbread and pizza that they make but their passion in making their specialities and the always welcoming top notch genuine friendly service to their customers by the owners. My most favorite item is their eggs and veggies wrap and I also love their spinach fatayer. Also tried a few of their manaeesh options and shrimp pizza which are good too. Will have to go back again soon and explore other items on their menu. read more

Forn Al Hara - Delicious Spinach fatayer and my eggs and veggies wrap in wrappers. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Anaheim, California

SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE. DO NOT ORDER ONLINE!! They gave us only HALF our order so CHECK TO MAKE SURE YOUR ORDER IS CORRECT. The cashier gaslighted us and said he didn't see our other orders on his end even though we ordered all of them directly on their website. He quickly told us he wasn't going to make the rest of our order and gave us attitude. He automatically assumed we were trying to scam him even before we showed him our online order receipts. He eventually admitted that it was their fault after the male in my party stood up for me. The food was ok, a bit too oily but the flavor was there, nothing too special. However, the food takes FOREVER to come out. Be prepared to waste a few hours here. read more

Everything is baked fresh and delicious. Prices remind me of pre inflation days and are very fair for the portion they give you. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious and authentic lebanese food for good prices read more

Even when they're busy ((and they really do get busy)) the wait is absolutely worth it. Their genuine hospitality and outstanding customer service make the whole experience special. The pastries are outstanding....they have that comforting, homemade Middle Eastern taste that brings warmth with every bite. The person at the register is one of the kindest people you'll meet, always greeting everyone with genuine warmth and sincerity. This is my go to spot for lunch and I highly recommend it. read more

The place is simple, spacious and with a large display of sweet pastries. The service was good and you have to wait a bit for your freshly baked flat breads and cheese pockets. These were brought to our table by I believe the lady that baked them with a huge smile in her face. read more

I really wanted to give this spot 5 stars. I was very excited to be in the area (a middle eastern strip mall with various businesses) to try it. I've eaten alot of Lebanese Bakery items over the years but am no expert. I arrived early on a Saturday morning and the bakery/restaurant was wide open with just a few ppl already served and eating. It had a relaxing ambience. My order was taken in a timely manner. I ordered a Zaatar w/ Veggie Wrap, Sujuk and Egg Wrap, and a Spinach Triangle primarily. Teas were self serve. All bakery items seemed to be of an impressive portion. The Zaatar was fantasticly warm, tasty and very filling. The veges were cut quite big but were good. My first disappointment was related to the Sujuk in the Wrap. The portion was good. Biting in, I was very disappointed to taste how spicy it was. Really really spicy. It was more like a spicy Chorizo Burrito and seemed more Mexican than Lebanese. I wish there was a warning. My second disappointment was waiting 40 minutes for the Spinach triangle. I understood that they were busy with orders but that was too long. Of course I was full and finished eating by the time that came out. I would possibly go there again and just hit the Zaatar. Having said that, we were there early, so I can't imagine how bad it would be when they've got a line of customers. read more

I am saddened to write this review because I heard good things about this place and drove a long long way to come. I didn't try their food so none of this is about their food. It is about their service. They open at 8, I was there at 8, tried to open the door it was locked. So I stepped away and stood by my car(no one else in the parking lot and I'm parked right in front of the door) I see someone walking and moving chairs, I waited a few minutes and at 8:05 I walk back to the door and try and it was still locked and that is fine we are all late sometimes and life happens, there are business hours visibly displayed, and the person moving chairs right next to the door just chose not to acknowledge my presence or maybe flag that they will be open soon .. so I have no idea what their hours are. Decided to leave (I have to be somewhere at 9 and it is a big order so I wanted to find another place fast) as I drive away she comes out from the other door, I say excuse me 3 times before she looked back, and I said what time do you guys open, she said now. Anyways, it sucks, but, the good thing is, down the street there is al Amir, I tried it before and it was good, and little Arabia is even closer and the hostess at that place is so polite and so customer service centric that it makes this experience even worse. I wish them the best, truly, but I drove an hour for them and this is just not great read more

20/10 food and experience. I will definitely be returning here when I come back to LA. The food is out of this world and made fresh! Patience is key because they prepare it when ordered. read more

I'd been craving manaeesh and mamol since I came to the west coast, and boy did Forn Al Hara deliver. When I asked the man upfront what was good, he said, "Everything." He was right. I ordered 5 manaeesh: - Zatar: super flavorful. Will get with cheese next time - Lahem Bel Ajeen: the closest flavor I had to the manaeesh on the east coast. Tomatoes balanced well with the meat - Sujuk with cheese: my favorite!! Spiced perfectly and went superbly with the pickles (which typically I'm not a fan of!) - Safiha - my second favorite. It balanced the right amount of sweet and salty, another combination I usually avoid. Needless to say, my tastebuds learned a lot today. In terms of mamol, I prefer rose in mine, but the pistachio baklava. Oh my lord, I will have dreams about it. I'm thankful to the man helping me out today. Will be back - with friends! read more

I love everything about this place, the cheese and the egg and cheese manaeesh are my favorite, I love their desserts too! If you're ever in Anaheim, do yourself a favor and stop by, you won't regret it read more

I told the owner that this place is not only a blessing to the Arab community in Anaheim, but to the entire state of CA! Must try do not leave Anaheim without going there for breakfast and having all the Lahm Baajin, cheese boats, spinach pies, and everything else it's all amazing. Cannot go wrong! read more

The place is clean and cozy. I came in right before lunch hour hit on a weekday so there weren't a lot of people yet. Unfortunately, there was no one at the front. It wouldn't have been a big deal but everyone else working there seemed to make it a point to ignore me so I stood there awkwardly until the person came back. Once we got the ball rolling though, it was a lot better. The owner was very nice and explained the items on the menu patiently as I was a first timer. I ordered the Zatar with Cheese, Cheese and Honey, and a pound of assorted baklava. Zatar with Cheese- They are known for their flatbreads and I can see why! The base dough is the perfect blend of chewy and crisp. The zatar is a delicious herb fushion which goes perfectly well with the gooey cheese. Cheese and Honey- I cannot rave enough about the cheese. It is gooey and creamy with a mild flavor that was enhanced with the sweetness of honey. Such a delightful combination! Baklava- For 15$ a pound, it was a steal for a baklava fan like me. The syrup was sweet and mildly spiced and the pistachios were fresh and added a lovely texture. The pastry could be crisper, however. Still a nice find though! Loved the food but improvements could be made on certain items. Staff could be friendlier too. read more

I was in Anaheim and craving some zaatar and lahem bel ajeen, so I decided to give Forn Al Hara a try -- and I'm so glad I did! From the moment I placed my order, the experience was great. The man who took my call was very kind and helpful. When I arrived, the place was clean, welcoming, and busy, which is always a good sign. The employees -- including the owner -- were incredibly friendly and made me feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious. Their dough is amazing, easily some of the best I've had. I loved it so much that I ordered more to take home the next day. Their cheese boats are also a must-try -- rich, fresh, and full of flavor. I highly recommend Forn Al Hara! If you're in the Anaheim area and want authentic, tasty baked goods, this is the place to go. read more

I'm half arabic (my mom is Lebanese) and have a large extended arabic family here in OC. I grew up with the most amazing foods that my mom, grandma and aunts would prepare for family gatherings and holidays. Some of my favorite childhood comfort foods are Safiha, Kibbeh, Yekhne, Hashweh and others. Finding legit Lebanese/Mediterranean food is not as easy as it seems but Forn Al Hara is the real deal! My aunt recommended them to me for Safiha so I bought a dozen of the ground beef Safiha for starters and it was every bit as flavorful and amazing as I remembered my grandmother's recipe...wow, just wow.....I shared 2 of them and ate the other 10 basically the same day! . Going back soon for other items. Love this place! read more

The food changed a lot I ordered some sifihaa but unfortunately the meat smell and the taste was very old and bad also it was the worse customer service experience ever the guy who was there was rude and I ordered some items and employee was at the cash register gave my order to a girl who was flirting with him without a charges he give her my order for free and when I was asking him, he said you have to wait a little bit more he made me wait almost an hour for my order. This is ridiculous. I will never go there anymore. Also, I don't recommend this rude and unfair customer service. read more

Sooo yum. I LOVE small local businesses especially when they're food related. My boyfriend put me on, who initially discovered this place through his dad and their food is amazing! Huge portions that will definitely leave you with leftovers too. I've only been here once and had their lahem bel ajeen because I've been craving Turkish Lahmacun and this is basically the Arabic version. Despite lahem bel ajeen having a stronger tomato flavor and heavier toppings, it hit the spot. The toum (garlic sauce) is a MUST. I highly recommend getting two per person because it complements the bread so well. Makes your breath smell pungent af but so worth it lol. I wanted to try their kunafa since it's my favorite dessert but they didn't have it the day we came. They have other little sweet treats, drinks, breads, plates, etc. included in the pictures below so if you want to try something new or have access to a good selection, give this spot a try! read more

food was delicious, tough competition between here and al-amir. but i think forn al hara has more variation for toppings. the vibes are very baladi inside, i appreciate the murals. the maamoul is also quite delicious. however the wait time and order system they have is a mess. we ordered our dine-in food for an early lunch and got it in a reasonable amount of time and had a good experience there. then after 12, we placed a to-go order and he said it will take an hour. it took an hour and 40min. there were multiple other parties who were waiting for their late orders who got rude with the manager (not the vibe). he kept it together but his workers were very visibly stressed out and seemed used to the mess. he gave us free maamoul but that didn't really make up for it. they need some kind of order system revamp back there. read more

WOW WOW WOW! This is my new go to place for manaaeesh! I was getting a haircut close by and was craving a sujuk wrap, but my usual go to place was closed. So I looked up another restaurant with similar options and decided to give this place a try! Let's start with the amazing man who took my order. He was just the sweetest. He had a great personality, he kept smiling and making jokes. Just great vibes! The food didn't take long either just about 20 mins. Now Ive tried quite a few places and this place blew it out the park with their sujuk wrap! Very tasty, not too greasy, very generous amount of sujuk and pickles inside. I also ordered a dozen spinach fatayer and two cheese manaaeesh. Spinach was flavorful and there was plenty of it inside. Not too sour also. But just right. The cheese manaaeesh were also very yummy. The dough here tastes amazing! It's crusty and chewy and just everything that bread/crust should be. Try this place you won't be disappointed:) read more

Very nice place, good food. I really enjoyed the falafel flat bread - it's very unique and a must try.

This place is so good, I understand why its always crowded. The whole time I was eating there, people and coming and leaving with huge togo orders. The cheese manaeesh is probably my absolute favorite. I've tried it from a few other places but I think this place makes it the best. Prices are incredibly reasonable too in my opinion. Its great that they offer so many options, and that there's a large size and a small size - perfect for sharing! read more

If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. My absolute favorite Arab bakery in the OC! They have the best baked goods, pastries, and flatbreads that give you a taste of the Middle East and teleport you as if you were "back home." Our go-to's are the manaeesh with zaatar, egg/cheese, and lahme (minced meat). They come with a side of pickles and olives for the perfect touch. And you can't forget the tea with fresh mint leaves to wash it all down. The owner is extremely friendly and knows his regular's very well. It's usually busy, but time's I have gone we are eating within 15 minutes of ordering. The walls are painted with pictures encompassing the Middle Eastern culture and people, and truly make you feel you are in another world. It is a mainstay for Arabs all throughout OC, and a must try if ever in Anaheim's "little Arabia" on Brookhurst St. read more

I love stopping by this place whenever I'm in this part of town. Their manaeesh is my absolute favorite--always fresh, warm, and made with perfect dough. My kids fav is their chicken pizza, it has thin shreds of chicken and cheese, very simply but blends well for a perfect bite. I also appreciate the complimentary pickles they serve, and their baklava is always a treat. The owner is consistently warm and welcoming, which makes every visit even better. read more
