    Steak Wrap
    Willis N.

    I'm gon stray away from my usual review style and instead tell a story that sums up the kind of place Kareem's is. [[HIGHLIGHT]]So I walk into what looks like a cute little garden patio/kitchen and I'm stuck between sauteed steak with onion and tomato (galaya i assume?) and the shakshuka (eggs into tomato sauce).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I asked if the tomato sauces were similar to which the nice lady at the counter confirmed. So then I asked for the sauteed steak but with a side of 2 eggs. She looked confused at first, saying they never done that but will try and asked how would I like my eggs. I got them both sunny side up and it tasted exactly how I imagined it to. The perfect, protein heavy, arab steak and eggs with the tomato sauce. Halfway through my meal, she even stopped by to check if everything was to my liking and expectations. "Did we do that right? Is that how you wanted?" Just goes to show the level of care and hospitality they have for the guest. I wish I took a picture of it lol, buuut I do also recommend their spinach wraps with steak, which I go here for alot as well. A delicious way to hit your nutritional goals

    There are LOTS of vegan options. I had the plant based fat kid...delicious. They also have non-dairy milk for the coffee. I had an iced Arabic latte. When I asked the lady what the difference was between an Arabic latte and a regular latte, she gestured by tapping her heart. It's basically made with more love. It was yummy, for sure. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their outdoor seating are is so cute. Lots of trees & plants so naturally we were surrounded by the chirps of birds.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Pomegranate Brussels Sprouts
    Tami N.

    Absolutely delicious spot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a spacious patio on nicer days and some seating inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You will definitely see how this is a family run business that deserves your patronage with their fresh food. We loved every dish! The Grill Combo is a great value and very balanced with choice of two sides. I'd recommend this. The Kibbeh was hot upon serving and pairs delightfully with the tzaziki. Also if you're a falafel lover like me, you can't go wrong with the Falafel Fries. Also note the Pomegranate Brussels Sprouts came out HOT upon arrival and is definitely on the sweeter side.

    I was in a group of six people. We were there for a long time! It's a small establishment with limited seating insidebut super cute outside patio. The service was patient and friendly. The food was amazing! Really homemade, fresh tasting food. Several vegan options.

    We picked up food catered from Kareem's. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant is small but has indoor and outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Person who helped us brought out and placed all of the trays in our trunk. Everything was tasty, especially falafels and grilled veggies. With such a large order, I wished that they included serving spoons and/or tongs. We ended up having to make another trip to get some of those.

    Some of the best falafel I've ever had, my husband had the 96 falafel wrap and I had the California wrap and both were fantastic. Hummus was also delicious and the perfect dish to share with warm pita bread.

    Honey Mint Milk Tea - HMM Amazing!
    Mary Ann C.

    Incredible food! Great service! Lots of variety to choose from. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This was perfect for our quiet family morning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The honey tea is so delightful and soothing! So many dishes with different flavors and textures. More than enough for 4 people. The food came out timely. The service was friendly and helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the outdoor garden area seating too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend Kareem's. I will definitely be a regular

    A charming garden cafe I will 100% be back to try that baklava cheesecake! I love the calming music they play, the cozy sunny windows if you pick to eat inside, and of course that beautiful garden patio. The food is delicious, come by and journal on the patio as you enjoy the relaxing cozy vibes

    This is one of my favorite restaurants in Orange County, period. I come here often because it's always fresh and the portions are great. I'm serious, it's so good that I never get sick of it. Plus, the employees are always so nice and accommodating. You won't regret it!!!

    Kareems is a small mom and pop shop located in Anaheim. Their space is decently sized with three two seater tables indoors and a nice patio area for larger parties. They have an extensive menu between platters, wraps and bowls. I ended up a grabbing a plate with steak, along with a side of hummus and chickpea salad. I also ordered the 96' Falafel Wrap to try. Both were delicious and the wrap was packed with greens all around. Definitely recommend the 96' wrap if you're craving a salad without wanting to eat a salad. The plate however offered substantial flavors but definitely best eaten all together versus individual pieces. The combination of salad, hummus, meat and lavash was delicious and unbeatable. Im definitely excited to have found a great mediterranean place near Disneyland if Im ever around SoCal again. Last but not least service. We were met with utmost hospitality and kindness. The woman running the register felt like an older grandma and the gentleman who turned on our space heater was super kind. It can't get any better than that. Overall highly recommend Kareem's for your veggie fixings and mediterranean food!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a cute little place hidden but calm and peaceful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We tried this out for a quick lunch and ordered the salad with chicken. It was fresh and so delicious! We were able to order quickly and they served us within 10 minutes. Will definitely come back again!

Every single freaking day, I ask that poor…read moreman to drive over to Anaheim and bring me my damn loaded falafel-chicken-fried-eggplant-sandwich. IM ARAB AND NEVER EVEN LIKED FALAFEL. but sababa... you changed me... you showed me, but truth falafel was when all I had ever known was the reheated frozen falafel from my local middle eastern market. I want you to look at the pictures of my review and see the colors. Bro it's literally the entire rainbow in that fresh pita, call me a leprechaun. I literally convinced myself that the entire sandwich (which makes me unbelievably full halfway through) is basically so healthy for me. They also give you samples of the falafel, and that pita bread tastes like it's completely homemade. Not pictured, but I also constantly get the hummus beef bowl, it is quite literally the most delicious of that type of dish I have ever had. They do not skip on the pine nuts it's worth every cent. This of each sandwhich to the brim and it feels like I'm biting into literally every flavor imaginable, but it doesn't feel like mush. It literally tastes like it's made with love and no wonder Sababa is the staple restaurant of Anaheim. I've taken so many friends here introduced him to what I feel is a restaurant that makes everything with love, which lives so much up to the Palestinian culture. I'm so hard to please with Middle Eastern restaurants cause I'm sick of the basic kebab and rice, and here is absolutely one of my favorites. Like my mouth is watering thinking about it right now.

    I have heard so many great things about Sababa Falafel Shop, and I finally got the chance to try it…read moretoday! It was so good that I needed to make a review! :-) Long story short, Sababa lives up to its reputation and now it's going to be one of my go-to places whenever I'm craving any sort of pita. Upon entering, everyone was super kind and welcoming. The interior was very clean and there was a lot of seating. However, what stood out to me the most was the kindness from the workers. When I was in line, I was immediately greeted with a sample of a falafel (which tasted great). I knew that I wanted to try the chicken pita, and the worker was kind enough to explain everything that would go in it, and I trusted his judgment. He put a little bit of everything in it, and it tasted AMAZING! The flavors all combined so well, and the presentation was just absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to come back here again :-)

They also have sweet treats like mango lassi which is also good and cooling after the spicy food. Being 100% honest, the people make the place even better.

The inside is also super nicely decorated and the music is "vibey" too (my bf's exact words).

Premium combo = entree + $10 Entree + premium drink + masala fries I tried the bowl with mild biryani, malai chicken, green (mild) sauce, and guava mango lassi. The bowl already comes with the raita sauce (a yogurt sauce), so I got the green sauce as my choice of sauce after asking the staff for recommendations. The protein portion was super generous and very well-seasoned with their spice. The green sauce was my favorite and everything in the bowl mixed well together. The whole bowl was delicious and it didn't feel heavy, wasn't greasy. The Kashmiri Chai and the guava mango lassi are the most popular drinks, so I decided to try the guava mango lassi. The flavors blended so well. One wasn't more overpowering than the other, and the sweetness level was perfect for me, also, not too much ice. Masala fries So crispy and well-seasoned!! Could be a little less salty. Gulab jamun cheesecake Also asked for recommendations for their cheesecakes and decided to go with this one. It has the fried donut ball in the middle with syrup. It didn't taste too sweet to me, but I also have higher tolerance for sweets. The center has so much of the cheesecake cheese and it was super soft and fluffy. So delicious! The samosas were also great! Crispy and not too oily. I also love that they use compostable takeout containers, including the lid! The interior looks nice and there are a few seats available. There's outdoor shaded tables and seats too. The only downside is that I wish the outdoor seats were a bit cleaner. There is a free parking garage, just make sure to park in the retail spaces. There was enough parking. The staff members are so helpful and very friendly. Can order with a staff member or using their kiosk. HIGHLY recommend!! Would definitely go back!
