excellent service , food is fresh cook . give a good amount of rice but not enough chicken . Employees very friendly and good place to eat

Massis Kabob is a staple in the mall food court for good reason. The service is quick, the quality is consistently solid, and the portions are generous for the price. I ordered the Beef Koubideh, which came with two skewers (instead of just one like some other Mediterranean spots) served over a bed of fluffy rice with grilled tomato and jalapeño. The plate also included pita bread and Shirazi salad. The beef was juicy, flavorful, and well-seasoned, making for a satisfying meal. The real surprise was the Shirazi salad. The fresh, tangy, and crunchy vegetables helped brighten up the entire dish and balanced out the richness of the meat and rice. Next time, I might even swap the pita bread for extra Shirazi salad because it really completes the meal. A reliable and delicious option whenever I'm at the mall. read more

Massis is my go-to casual food spot at the mall so this review is long overdue. For the price and the freshness of their kabobs, this place delivers. The portion of each dish can feed two adults - I personally can never finish one dish all on my own in one go. Each plate comes with generous portions of rice, a grilled tomato, chili pepper, and a tomato-cucumber bowl of salad in addition to the meat of choice and pita bread. For this visit, my hubby and I got their Combo 12A, which comes with two chicken kabobs. The rice ratio always feels way more than the actual meats itself. Our food was ready in less than 5 minutes and came in a nice tray for dining in. You can always ask for to-go container and they will oblige. Our friends ordered their food to go and they had hummus with their food so I'm wondering if hummus is only for to-go orders. Price is decent for what we got (~$18.00) and I hope the quality of food stays high. My experience is that the chicken kabobs are more moist than the steak or their ground beef plates, but they're all still flavorful. read more

We've been to Massis at the mall many times, so this review is long overdue. I always enjoy their chicken kabobs and chicken koubideh, they're consistently flavorful and perfectly grilled. On our most recent visit, my husband tried the swai fish plate since he's been eating more seafood lately, and it turned out to be a great choice. Our all-time favorite side is the ikra eggplant dip, we always get the large tub to enjoy with their pita bread. Most plates come with generous portions of rice, a grilled tomato, chili pepper, and a tomato-cucumber salad. They do serve a bit too much rice, but no complaints as it makes for delicious leftovers the next day. read more

My parents decided they wanted to try the place because it looked really good and smelled great. The service seemed pretty quick as well, we didn't really wait long for the food but the line to order was fairly long. We got a meal plate (#8 Gyro) to snack on and try, and it came in a fairly large to go container! I enjoyed the crispy shaved meat very much with the salad it came with and used the pita bread to eat with everything. My parents were a bit unsure about the rice, yogurt sauce, and they debated how they made the shaved meat. They also ate the grilled chili pepper and assumed it wasn't spicy but it was REALLY spicy! So we did not eat that. I wonder if I can just get the meat and salad next time, it was amazing! read more

Outanding Mediterranean restaurant located in the food court at the shops at Santa Anita mall. Imo, they have the best gyro sandwiches. We ordered two entrees. 1. Chicken kabob wrap which came with chips and hummus. 2. The gyros platter which is a mix of lamb and beef, with rice and pita bread. Both meals were great and huge portions. Michael helped us with our order and was extremely nice. We will definitely be coming back. Great mall as well. read more

Friendly service and good price. Currently there's a promo at Santa Anita mall where you can get a free appetizer with any plate purchase. Got the chicken kabob plate and it hit the spot for $13. It's less than $15 after tax and fees. The meat was tender since it was dark meat tho I wish I had gotten more meat or sauce to help balance out the rice and pita breads. read more

I love this food chain in malls. I know it's very filling compared to other choices nearby and is worth the price. I ordered easily and I waited for about 10 minutes or less. I got the beef kebab plate, my usual go-to. The plate was given to me in a nice to-go pantry container already, which was nice since I could save it for lunch the next day. The size of the kebab was decently big and I found the food to be very satisfactory. Somehow the flavors are not as strong as other ones I tried but it was still tasty. Hope this spot keeps lasting in this food court!! read more

I'm honestly baffled by all the 5 star reviews for Massis Kabob and I'm starting to wonder if they were written by bots. The food here is incredibly mid at best. Given all the nice reviews, I ordered expecting bold Mediterranean flavors. What I got was a mountain of bland rice with some lifeless beef on the side. No sumac, no garlic sauce, not even hummus or butter with the pita bread. It's like they skipped all the essentials that make Mediterranean food worth craving. It's like they didn't try at all! This is food for my dog. The redeeming quality was the staff. They were genuinely nice and friendly, which makes this review feel a bit harsh, but good service can't make up for flavorless food. Massis might be popular, but based on what I had, I wouldn't come back. There are way better spots in the area if you want genuine Mediterranean food that actually has flavor. read more

This might be my favorite spot in the Arcadia Mall food court. The food is always good and everything feels clean and fresh. I usually go for the Luna kebob, the ground beef plate. It's way more flavorful than the steak plate in my opinion. Plus, the portion size is still good, even after everything that's happened with the pandemic and inflation. I'm a big fan of their salads, especially the cucumber tomato one. Super refreshing. I just realized if you order for dine in, it doesn't come with hummus for the lavash, which was a little disappointing. Service is quick and the whole place is kept pretty clean. Expect a line on weekends, but it moves fast. Prices are decent for what you get. read more

Wow, this place was really good. The chicken kabob & beef koobideh was perfectly cooked, still moist & juicy on the inside. Can't tell you how many times I've been to a middle eastern restaurant, and their skewers were way over cooked and dried out, especially the chicken skewers, so I was so happy that I have found this place. Located in the food court of the Santa Anita Mall, next to the Cheesecake Factory. Service was great, staff was friendly and helpful. Besides the beef and chicken skewers, the fish plate was a pleasant surprised, moist and seasoned perfectly. 5 stars from me. read more

Absolutely amazing freshest chicken I've ever had with such a generous portion of protein and rice I'll definitely be back.

Love this place. We ordered Chelo kabobs and the boneless trout. I actually never tried the trout, but the hubby loves them, and he is a picky person when it comes to fish. We like the fact that they are grilled food and all sides that it came with was excellent! The chelo kabobs were tender, just how we like it ! Although the service is usually fast, we always call ahead. Friendly and kind staff for sure! Ambiance, well it's at the food court area, in the Santa Anita mall and easy access for us, as we just like to do takeout. read more

Food was delicious and big enough for mor the 2 people, staff was so Helpful to give me my order.

Quality food at reasonable prices. We ordered 2 family meals. One chicken and beef kabobs. One chicken kabobs and beef koobideh. Both came with rice, grilled veggies, hummus, tabouli, cucumber tomato salad, green hot sauce, pita, and sumac. Each meal was a good amount for 4-5 people. We ordered 2 meals for 10 people. We added two additional side kabobs and had leftovers to spare. Very nicely packaged. We ordered take out and the food was still hot when we started eating. Delicious rice! Along with the meats and sides. Plus they have an easy to navigate website with full menu and convenient online ordering. read more

Came here for lunch inside the food court at The Shops at Santa Anita. There was a constantly on and off line to this place. Pricing was reasonable compared to some local mediterranean food spots. We ordered the #12A Persian Koubideh Beef plate and #15 Cornish Game Hen. Food was fresh. The beef and chicken were pretty juice and flavorful. Rice was ok. We had to ask for complimentary sauces like the yogurt sauce (tastes like a very mild yogurt sauce), hot sauce (tastes like a sour acidic buffalo wing sauce), and a mild green salsa verde like sauce. We also paid for a chimichurri sauce and it was very good. We ordered the pink lemonade and it included free refills for it at the self-serve dispenser by cashier. It's a less sweet or watered down version of pink lemonade but goes well with the food. Overall, delicious and good value. read more

For a mall food court, this was great! I have never been to this chain fast food restaurant, but was pleasantly surprised. Their lamb is sliced very thinly and felt fairly it was deliciously original for mall food. It takes about ten minutes to prepare, so gather up the kids and find a table for the crew before the food is ready. Something to note is that if you United dining points to earn, this is the place, as well as their other mall locations as well. As for ambiance, it was just mall dining, but would definitely be a great as a stand alone restaurant as well. read more

We bought the family meal, standard Kebab chicken, beef, and they have whole fish and swai fillets we did not get. We added extra kebabs to go. The rice is oily and wet, overcooked. The beef koubideh is good but the beef kebab was very tough. The hummus was watery and thin. The tabbouleh and cucumber salad are small portions. Not enough for a family. The lavash bread was plentiful. Stick with the chicken kebab and beef koubideh. Don't bother with the sign up free side dish. It's a gimmick to get you to buy more. After paying $140 they wouldn't part with a side dish. Thank goodness we didn't tip. read more

I'm very disappointed with my recent experience at Massis Kabab in Arcadia Mall. The cashier and server were extremely rude when I politely complained about receiving the wrong side order. On top of that, we waited a long time because they completely forgot our order. When the food finally came, the koobideh/gosht I ordered wasn't even fully cooked. This is not the kind of service or quality customers deserve. I hope management takes this seriously and improves both their customer service and food handling. read more

Massis Kabob - The Original Kabobery--who knew the original kabobery was located in the Santa Anita mall's food court? After some research, it appears this chain of restaurants might be the original quick-service version of kabobs. Once I ordered my tilapia, it took about ten minutes to prepare, so it tasted very fresh. And so. Much. Rice. Between the large selection of fish, the rice, and the side salad, I left very full and content--without the guilt of eating fast food. It's a bit more expensive than other choices around this food court, but you get what you pay for and worth it. read more

Very mediocre Mediterranean food. I ordered the Chicken Kebab Plate and it didn't come with much of anything besides only 5 pieces of chicken, a roasted tomato, a roasted jalapeño, and rice. Everything just tasted dry/bland altogether and I wish they provided a small side of hummus or sauce or a salad to eat this plate with. There are much better places to get Mediterranean food like Carousel, Mediterranean Grill, or Zankou Chicken. Although, it is convenient if you are craving Mediterranean at the mall. read more

Very bad. I recently tried Mediterranean food at this establishment, and unfortunately, it was one of the worst culinary experiences I've had. The flavors were unpleasant, the texture of the dishes was off, and nothing tasted fresh or well-prepared. I understand that Mediterranean cuisine is appreciated by many, but this place did not do it justice at all. I personally found the food to be unappetizing and quite hard to enjoy. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant. read more

After a two hour bowling marathon at Bowlero Arcadia, my friends from work and myself were ready to chow down. The food court was conveniently located right outside the bowling alley. Perfect place to hang out for the evening. Massis Kabob was our pick. First time trying Armenian foods for me. A couple of my friends chipped in and treated me dinner. So very kind of them. Thank you my friends! I ended up getting #11 Chicken Kabob Boneless just the way it comes with one row of boneless chicken without the skewer LOL, a side cup of shirazi salad, one marinated tomato, one grilled jalapeno, and slices of pita bread over a bed of basmati rice. The entire plate was full of deliciousness and goodness. Chicken was very tender moist and tasty... 7 big chunks! Shirazi salad was citrusy and refreshing. Marinated tomato was amazing. Jalapeno is very hot only if you get one of them seeds in your mouth... just eat around the seeds LOL. Pita bread was soft and chewy. Basmatic rice was light fluffy and aromatic. Just get it!!! They do have other meats and fish, too. Everyone at our table had the same compliments about the foods. Delish! I am sold! Massis is now my go-to friend for kabobs. Staff was friendly, too. Prices are very reasonable for the huge portions. Massis is a keeper. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! read more

I'm a frequent diner at this location but lately the food quality has gone down! The Food preparer's are not following the recipes! Fish, beef, chicken, and salads are overly salty! Beef is overcooked and the fish is sometimes near raw. So sad! Will wait awhile to eat at this location again. read more

I order very often and for years . I don't want to complaint, but when ordering family size and salad given is equivalent of one small order is not acceptable. Also, I would like all the employees to be appreciative of customers specially those who go back over and over . There is nothing wrong by giving at least a smile . read more

Great food, Convenient location, fast service, open a location in El Monte or Baldwin park.

I got the chicken kabob plate. The shirazi salad was really good, very refreshing. The rice was good and the chicken was juicy. There were nine pieces of meat and four pieces of pita bread. I definitely did not finish it all haha, had leftovers. Really good choice and a good price, especially in a mall. Overall, I would come back again! read more

I have no clue how this place is a 2.9 star when it's one of the best kabob places you can order on this side of the SGV. I went on a Monday evening at the Santa Anita Mall, they are located right in the food court. It was very busy and I ordered their chicken and beef combo which comes with a side. I got the Shirazi salad which is a seasoned cucumber and tomato "salsa". There were lots of people at the food court so it was quite loud, but as a take-out restaurant, that is to be expected. The chicken and beef were both outstanding and well marinated, with the rice perfectly cooked long grain. The Shirazi salad was excellent as well. The portions were enough for two people. The pita bread was simple, but that is to be expected. They also give free packets of sumac seasoning which is a kind touch. read more
