    My $2.50 each side of sauce
    Dre N.

    Really disappointed. Ordered the picked veggies which was supposed to be cucumber, turnips and carrots. I got pickles and olives. Also paid 2.50 each for a side of tzatziki and garlic sauce. I received the little containers that should be .50-.75.

    Decided to stop in for dinner tonight to go. Everything tasted amazing and was fresh. Will definitely be back! Portions are big, I have leftovers for at least a day or two. Yum!

    The Lamb Chops. Super tasty
    Jeff F.

    Recently moved to the Corona area and this place is one of my new favorites. Very friendly, the food is delicious, and the prices are reasonable. I had the lamb chops my last time there and I would highly recommend them.

    a sign for lunch special

    As others have discovered without my putting in my 2 cents, Corona has a lovely little, mom and pop Mediterranean (Egyptian) restaurant in our mid-town! The last time we were here was not quite a year ago. They had recently moved to this location from neighboring Riverside. I recall their menu was abbreviated, which I cannot say today; it is quite impressive for such a small storefront. I failed to Yelp it at that time, so now I need to make up for a lost opportunity. We started with a couple of appetizers. The one that caught my eye was a spinach filled pie. Not really a pie (their name, not mine), it is a 4-bite, soft, baked dough shaped into a triangle with a very authentic tasting, tangy spinach filling. They are served warm. Loved it! Being big falafel fans, but extremely picky, we had to try some of their's. We have been unable to find a good one locally. The very thoughtful owner delivered 2 to our table, compliments of the house. Thank you so much! Their falafel is a blend of ground Fava beans, mediterranean spices, and sesame seeds . The crispy brown exterior hides a very tender, green interior, and they are delicious. Now that I know, I will order these without hesitation. Lunch time is a great time to go. There are 6 plates offered on their Lunch Special list that are all currently (May 2023) priced at $10.99. In addition to your choice of entree, it includes a cucumber, parsley, tomato, dill, and onion chopped salad, rice, and warm pita bread. Smaller servings, but still filling, this deal is a great opportunity to taste some of their more recognizable Mediterranean items. I chose the Gyros Lunch - 3 healthy slices of a beef/lamb mix, deliciously seasoned with spices, with a smear of tztaziki on a fresh pita. The gyro meat was wonderful, the pita soft and delicious. They also included a small paper cup of homemade tzatziki, a rich Greek yogurt and dill spread, two slices of pickle, and a big mound of yellow rice. The yellow rice is a lightly seasoned basmati. There is something deliciously subtle lurking in their recipe; might it be clove spice and turmeric I taste? Whatever, the rice was yummy. We also got to taste the hummus. The hummus is creamy and fresh, obviously house made, and is one of the better ones I have tasted. It arrived in a small cup with a good olive oil drizzle and sumac. After tasting this, I would consider one of their dishes that features the hummus with a chopped beef topping, a meal in itself. The Lamb Kabob (not on the Lunch Specials) came with 5 large cubes of meat. The platter includes salad, rice, and pita. I was not in love with the cut of meat they used, a little too lean and chewy, but Mr. B, the guy who always orders lamb, said he would get it again. All in all, it was a very pleasing meal. The seasonings in their food tasted exactly the way I love, the owner and wife were very kind, and the interior was sparkling clean and friendly. And living nearby is a real plus for us.

    Greek Salad
    Angela N.

    Overall, service was great but the food is okay in my opinion. It was a little on the pricey side too. I got the beef shawarma and Greek salad to go. I enjoyed the Greek salad. The beef was decent but nothing special - it was a bit dry. It came with pita bread on the side which might have been old cause it was hard. Don't think I would go out of my way to come here.

    Wife wanted Lebanese food tonight and we found this great little mom and pop (literally) Lebanese restaurant close to city center of Corona. A little tricky to find because their unit is at the end and abuts up to Lincoln. They seem to do s lot of take out but there's ample room for dine in as that's what we did. The four of us had similar cravings for beef kafta kaba and we ordered an appetizer bowl of this amazing yogurt called labneh mtawani which is essentially a thick yogurt blend of garlic and olive oil. It's great with flat bread or as an addition on top of the kafta. Portions were just right, not too little and not too much. Personally for me I would've loved more!! It was that good. Really enjoyed ourselves and will be frequenting this establishment when the craving comes for proper Lebanese food.

    Nice quiet joint it was clean, service was good and food was on point!!!! No beer is served here, one stall restroom. Self serve soft drinks. The music had me moving. Yummy yummy yummy

    Kebab
    Abraham K.

    Great flavors and clean restaurant. Fresh piping hot pita and would recommend their kebabs the most out of all the proteins. Garlic sauce and hummus were super delicious. Price was a bit on the higher end -- $19-25 per plate.

    Beef shawarma,  chicken tawook, beef kebab

    Excellent food! Fresh and good sized portions. Owner was so kind and obliged my request to give us the food in my containers so we could take it home if the kids don't finish the meal.

We visited on a Sunday evening when the restaurant was nearly empty. We were among the first customers there and placed our order promptly. After we ordered, two other parties arrived, yet both groups received their food before us. The biggest issue was my mother's meal. The rest of our food arrived, but her entree took over an hour to come out. During that time, I checked with the staff multiple times and was repeatedly told that it was "on its way." Unfortunately, when it finally arrived, it was not worth the wait. The food itself was underwhelming. The shawarma was not very good, and the portions were surprisingly small for the prices being charged. We expected much better quality and value. I understand that restaurants can have off nights, and I generally try to be understanding. However, with an almost empty dining room, the long wait, serving later-arriving customers first, poor communication, and disappointing food quality, this was one of the worst restaurant experiences we've had in a long time. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and improves both the service and the food quality.

Since I was in town and looking for a place to eat I randomly pulled into this plaza driving around looking for something and recognized the name. My favorite kind of food is Mediterranean food, specifically Persian, Iranian, Armenian style kebabs. Most of the kebabs in the Inland Empire are Arabic style, Kafta Kebabs. They tend to be Lebanese restaurants. You would have to look for Persian restaurants to get the kind of kabobs called Koobideh. They are similar but the seasoning is different. I've driven to Orange county, Glendale, Arcadia, to go to my favorite spots. I wanted to like this place because it's a little bit closer than the one that is my current favorite, in Rancho Cucamonga. Unfortunately, this was not one of my favorite examples of Persian style. First of all, the reception wasn't very warm. It might have been because it was past 8:00 p.m. but that's still 45 minutes to closing. They don't have garlic sauce but I suppose that's not a required thing. If you look at the pictures of the dine-in plates they include onions and what looks like parsley. My plate only had the two skewers of beef, half a tomato, and a bed of rice. There was a bag of bread with no butter and that's pretty much it for close to $20. Other restaurants would at least have a small side of Persian salad or Tabouleh depending on the restaurant. Sometimes you'll get a grilled pepper. I can live without those extra sides really. However the beef was overdone and dry. The rice was pretty good but that's pretty standard. Maybe it would have been better to dine in at this place. But other restaurants are able to pull off delicious to go plates that aren't too far off from their dine-in quality. It's like there wasn't minced onion included in the ground beef which is usually what makes the kebabs juicy at other spots. The place would otherwise be a good sit-down restaurant. Perhaps their other dishes are better. But the typical signature dish would have to be the ground beef. If a restaurant can't get the most common dish right, why would you think they would excel in any of the other ones? I hope they improve. I would really like good options in different areas of the IE if I'm in town.
