3. 0 stars I ordered the #2 Kofta Kabob plate. The food was good (not bad, but also nothing amazing) but they majorly skimped on the rice, which was disappointing considering the $12 + tax price tag. I would definitely opt to get something else when I visit the Packing House again. read more

This location is inside the Packing House. Quick takeout middle eastern food, featuring flavors mostly from Syria. The cheese borek is flavored nicely and has black sesame seeds inside. The meats are all marinated and cooked well... even after asking for the beef to be rare, it was still tender, which showed that they use high quality cuts of meat. Unfortunately due to the pandemic, I find they are constantly out of items like their grape leaves, pickled turnips, etc. However, the quality of the food, the speed of the service, and the ease of ordering has lead me to not take a star off for missing items that may or may not be outside of their control. read more

Trying out the top spots in the packing house. Something that definitely looked a bit of spice and a healthier side to it. My other got a chicken kabob plate. It came with rice, hummus, pita and a salad. The chicken was tender, but very small portion, the rice filled the plate more so. It was not bad, a good balance. But, definitely had better. read more

Mediocre at best. I don't know about these guys. I hadn't had a falafel schwarma in a while and was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately this did not hit the spot. The pita wrap was hard and stiff, kinda like leftover tortillas from last weekend. The flavor of the sauce was a bit off and a bit bland. I didn't count the falafel but the package was kinda skinny. Luckily I brought a bottle of Yellow Peep's brand Lemony Snicket Hot Sauce, which made it edible. read more

Terrible service and etiquette. We were ordering food to get a table when people who hadn't even been in line yet took a table. The employee did nothing and said nothing. We tried to take the chairs to another table the people and employee stopped us. At other establishments in this location you cannot sit until you order. On top of that the food that was ordered took forever to come out. When our food came out the people who took the table were sotting at 2 chairs and not using the other 3. While the food was decent, the service was ridiculous! I do not recommend coming somewhere where you will be disrespected, not listened to and basically ignored. read more

I ordered the chicken Shawarma plate and it was probably the best Middle Eastern food I've ever had! Food: The plate came with so much food so if your hungry this will definitely Fill you up. It came with a small side salad a side of really delicious hummus and pita bread and then a big portion of rice and chicken Shawarma then some yogurt to eat with the food. The chicken tasted so amazing I definitely recommend it over the kabob, it has so much flavor and wasn't dry at all. My friend ordered the mix and he didn't like the flavor of the beef. Price: I paid around 11 or $12 for the plate which I think is a pretty good price for that much food and since it's in the packinghouse where most of the food is overpriced. Location and service: it's towards the back of the first floor of the packinghouse and has seating around it so if it's not busy you can find somewhere really easily to sit and the entire location is really pretty to just sit and look at. The workers were also very nice and fast at making the food, the only weird thing is I went right after I ordered to ask for the Wi-Fi password and she just straight up told me you have to buy something first even though I literally just ordered from her but they ended up giving it to me so if you need Wi-Fi just ask for the password. read more

Service was good pretty quick for how busy it was. I ordered the chicken Shawarma wrap by itself. I always get super happy when I see you chicken Shawarma on the menu so of course I had to order that. The chicken Shawarma wrap it was OK. It had a good flavor, but not close to any chicken Shawarma I've had before. It almost tasted like they under seasoned it? I would recommend adding garlic fries, or some other type of fries like even season fries to the combo if you really wanted people to upgrade to the combo. read more

Should have checked the reviews before ordering. My mistake, I should know better. Ordered the chicken shawarma plate. Chicken was dry and I'm not sure what was up with the seasoning. Tasted like they over boiled the chicken and then rolled it around in some spice mixture. Super bland and extremely disappointing. The salad that came with it also had zero flavor. Hummus was stingy and rice was whatever. The pita that came with it was straight out of the bag and not even warmed up. For $14 I'd expect some flavor. Bottom line: save your money and go to Pita Hot instead. This place was not awesome. read more

I love middle eastern food but I was so disappointed with this place. I only ordered the shawarma fries from this place and, honestly, what a joke! A few things that made this experience and dish an awful one: (1) the dish was sloppily made and you could tell that the chef did not put any care into it, (2) there were ingredients added that were not described in the menu and because of this, I couldn't stomach the unanticipated flavor, and (3) the price for this (which included chicken though very sparse) was not worth it. read more

Such yummy food! We got the chicken and beef shawarma bowl with a side of tabbouleh and falafel. Everything was so yummy and so fresh! Middle Eastern food is one of my all time favorite kinds of food which makes me a little bit of a stickler for these types of places. The service was very quick and helpful. I give this place 4 stars rather than 5 because to me the beef shawarma was slightly dry especially in comparison to the chicken. Other than this the portions were very fair for the price and definitely large enough to share. The tabbouleh was very fresh and the falafel was perfectly cooked. We got a variety of sauces that went well with the falafel as well. Next time, I will have to try their hummus it looked delicious. read more

We hadn't been here in a while and we noticed the old staff was replaced, turns out it's under new ownership and we noticed it right away in the way things were handled down from the order taking to the actual food. My wife and I used to come here often and she pointed out how the rude cashier wasn't here anymore. Asked the guy behind the counter and apparently it's all new staff which was a huge breath of fresh air. The food was great, the environment was relaxing and inviting. Before it felt like we were being judged just sitting there but the new guy was really cool and the strawberry lemonade was great. Can't wait to come back here. The chicken kabob combo is great and the spicy hummus is always just the right amount of spicy, very. Got a Perrier and mixed it with the strawberry lemonade, it was great as well. Definitely a great change and looking forward to coming here more often. read more

I will never eat here again, my experience was horrible to say the least. I ask them to put together a wrap with chicken red onion cucumber salad and tziki sauce and it comes with lettuce. But they only put the chicken and tziki sauce and cucumber salad (which is extra) So I asked them to add it. The guy who rang me up told the chef in the back and you can hear the chef yelling at the cashier that the cucumber salad has onion and lettuce in it. I'll post a picture for you to decide whether it has what I wanted on it or not. So unprofessional of the chef who I think is the owner. I feel so bad for the people who work for him. Don't eat here. It's not flavorful and the service sucks. Unfortunately. read more

First off, whoever is back there assembling these wraps isn't just making food; they are practicing architectural geometry. Most spots toss your veggies in like they're launching confetti at a parade, leaving you with one bite of pure lettuce and another of pure existential dread. Not Kareem's. Every single bite is a masterclass in balance: vibrant, bright, colorful veggies that actually crunch, perfectly seasoned and juicy protein, and a sauce so ridiculously good I'm convinced it's strictly classified under international law. It's colorful, it's mouth-watering, and yes, I absolutely caught feelings. I am now in a committed relationship with a pita-wrapped masterpiece. And can we talk about the hummus? Smooth as a smooth-talking salesperson, richer than a crypto influencer, and paired with proteins that are cooked with actual respect. If you are anywhere near 1208 S Brookhurst St, do yourself a favor and stop by. Just be prepared: you will leave addicted, you will crave it at 2 AM on a Tuesday, and you will never look at a standard wrap the same way again. 10/10, no notes, sending Kareem's my therapist bills.

I recently visited Mangal Restaurant and had the pleasure of trying their shawarma. Let me just say, it was absolutely delicious! From the first bite, I was hooked. The meat was perfectly seasoned and tender, practically melting in my mouth. The pita bread was soft and fresh, complementing the flavors beautifully. What really stood out to me was the balance of spices and the rich, flavorful sauce that tied everything together. The fresh veggies added a nice crunch and freshness to each bite. It's clear that they use high-quality ingredients and take great care in preparing their dishes. The atmosphere at Mangal was warm and inviting, and the staff were super friendly and attentive, making the whole dining experience even better. If you're a shawarma lover or just looking for a great meal, I highly recommend giving Mangal Restaurant a try. You won't be disappointed! read more

I recently dined at Mangal Mediterranean Cuisine in Anaheim, and I can't say enough good things about it! The highlight of my meal was the chicken shawarma wrap--it was absolutely delicious and hands down my favorite. The flavors were vibrant, and the portion size was generous, making it a fantastic value for the price. I even had some left to take home! The team behind the register was amazing as well. They greeted me with warm smiles and provided excellent service, which really added to the experience. I also tried the falafel, and it was incredibly fresh, perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside. The grape leaves were a delightful addition too! If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere, Mangal is the place to go. I can't wait to return and try more of their menu! Highly recommended! read more

I recently visited Mangal with my husband as we strolled through Packing House and it was fantastic! We ordered a spread of dishes, including the shawarma, falafel, grape leaves, and refreshing strawberry lemonade. As someone of Mediterranean descent, I found the food to be incredibly authentic. Located on the top floor, it's perfect for a quick bite or takeout. The atmosphere was inviting, and the staff were friendly. This was my first visit, but I can't wait to return! Highly recommend Mangal for delicious Mediterranean cuisine! read more

Underrated Mangal is a true hidden gem tucked away in the heart of the city. While it may not boast flashy decor or a trendy ambiance, what it lacks in outward glamour, it more than makes up for with its mouthwatering beef kebabs. As a self-proclaimed meat enthusiast, I can confidently say that Mangal serves some of the most succulent and flavorful kebabs I've ever had the pleasure of tasting. read more

Sadly I picked this out of every delicious looking place. The girl that took our order was in a big hurry to get back to her phone and the fix her hair over the food bar. I watched the recook fries. He took them from one basket and put them back in oil. Needless to say...they were disgusting. Basically the kitchen was slow and it was break time. read more

I would def get that or get a mix with chicken and gyro if possible next time.

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!

We ordered the chicken and beef kabobs, and while both were delicious, the chicken kabobs were incredibly juicy and flavorful.

One of my favorite parts of the experience was meeting the owner, Nabeel, who makes all of the desserts in house. You can really tell how much care goes into the food, and his personal touch makes the experience even more special. If you're looking for authentic Syrian cuisine with warm hospitality and amazing food, Arabesque is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

Not sure…read moreif this is really how Syrian food taste like but it's absolutely so bland with no flavors whatsoever. I mean everything was bland - from the meat, rice and hummus. I wish them success but unless the used seasonings, I don't see how it can survive. The Good: 1. New place; friendly workers. 2. The chicken Schwarms special with fries at $6.99 from 2-6pm is a good deal. I really like the thin crispy pita bread they used The BAD: 1. Flavorless, bland. I had to add seasoning and salt on everything including the rice, meat , hummus 2, the marketing needs to change. The pictures made it seem like you're getting a lot of quantity such as the 2 piece beef kabob plate. Perhaps, they give you more quantity but I got it to go and the portion was small. I counted 6 small pieces of grilled beef that was a bit tough and soo bland. pass 3. The fries they had on the pictures are crinkle cut but they gave you frozen steak fries Overall, in a sea of competition I wouldn't go here again. Disappointing visit.

The whole place is about a 3 across the board. After waiting almost 20 min for my food the tandoori chicken, though beautiful cooked, was very bland. Afterwards I read so many reviews that shared the same sentiment. I shared with the shift leader or manager there that it's as if it was loaded into the oven with very little salt and no other spices. So there was no Indian flavor whatsoever and not enough taste. More salt could help but still it would just be baked chicken you could make at home. He gave be chicken curry and garlic naan for the trouble which I appreciated. I really just wanted to offer feedback. The curry itself was good. Definitely more flavor, not bad, and I've had better. The naan was nothing to write home about. Overall, the people there are great and the food could benefit from much work. The manager mentioned it may not have marinated long enough. If that is true then they have a consistency issue. I'd be open to trying them again and I might just go with the curry next time. I don't care for the other food at the packing district so this might still satisfy my hungry if I'm ever back here. I'd also recommend the sides at The Kroft (downstairs) where you can get 1/2 off sides during certy hours.
