    Chicken Tawook Plate
    Marc L.

    Really do I need to update my 5 star review to a 5 start review. Yes! The quality remains top score. Dolmas are great. The lemon salmon off the charts. I think they recently changed the menus so if you have not been here in a while you must. Staff is always friendly and polite. Totally my local favorite because it's walking distance - or plenty of parking and great food. It's a cafe style so don't expect waited services. Sit where available. Place has always been spotless. So wha ya waiting for.

    Customer service was lacking. Kibeh or kibee was the best. Meat seemed bland and so did the chicken. We love kebabs and can recommend so many good places but this unfortunately isn't one we will come back too. The soup had great reviews but I think they over did it on turmeric this time. I'll post a picture so you can see the color, compared to the other lentil soup pictures on here. The place definitely needs a little sprucing up.

    Stopped in for lunch on a weekday, after reading positive yelp reviews! You might miss this place if you weren't looking for it because of the busy shopping center it's located in. Tons of parking, lots of seating inside, friendly staff, and super quick service. I tried the Fattoush salad, it was ready in under two minutes. The salad dressing was delicious - full of fresh herbs, it was also a good portion and fair price. The staff behind the counter helping take my order was extremely friendly and welcoming. Will be coming back if I find myself in the area, I recommend giving them a try for yourself!

    Beef Shawarma Plate hitting the soul oof
    Nadia M.

    Mazaya is one of those places you order when you want comfort food. It is one of my all time favorite restaurants in the area by far. The beef shawarma plate is incredibly delicious and can easily be split for 2 people, their portions are massive. Today I ordered the lentil soup too because it is a rainy day, and it is also a hefty portion, also delicious. In case you haven't noticed by my multiple reviews of this place, I love mazayas!! Lol

    Chicken Shawarma Plate
    Nicole K.

    Came here for a quick dinner, we ordered beef and chicken shawarma plate. Their portion is pretty big and can be easily shared by 2 people. However, the meat was on the dry side and I wish they gave more of the white sauce or at least have it on the side. Service was good, we got our food within 10 mins of ordering. I'm interested in trying kafta next time.

    What a delicious meal! All the food tasted so fresh!The chicken was so flavorful and the rice was fluffy and hot! The salad was very tasty! The crunch and tartness from the salad really complimented the chicken shawarma. I loved the mouthwatering food here! Prices were about $13 per plate and totally worth it. It was big enough to make two meals! Service was friendly and quick. The restaurant is clean but nothing fancy and there's plenty of parking out f I would highly recommend eating here!

    Chicken Tawook Plate with fattoush salad & Filet Mignon plate with Greek salad
    Paola M.

    Finally, an amazing Mediterranean (Lebanese inspired) joint in the Whittier-vicinity! We ordered the Chicken Tawook and Filet Mignon plate with a side of falafels. First thing to impress me was how fresh and homemade the food tasted! Both the chicken and filet Mignon were perfectly cooked (juicy and flavorful) and the portions were plentiful. No doubt the falafels are a passed down recipe from the mother country! I was told everything is made from scratch in this family-owned business and I don't doubt it. The joint was tidy and clean- nothing too impressive when it comes to ambiance. The menu was straight forward and very reasonably priced. They were able to accommodate customizations to the entrees, like ordering individual falafels instead of the plate. I'm definitely returning soon!

The chicken was juicy and seasoned perfectly, the rice was packed with flavor, and the fries? Hot, crispy, and golden--just how I like them.

I arrived about 20 minutes after placing the order but still had to wait another 20 minutes, making the total wait time about 40 minutes. The beef shawarma was disappointing--it wasn't thinly sliced as expected but more like chopped or minced beef, and the flavor just wasn't up to par. I also ordered three kibbeh balls but only received two; the third was oddly replaced with chicken nugget pieces. The chicken tawook wrap was poorly prepared, lacked flavor, and was very underwhelming. Overall, the food didn't taste good, and with the long wait and odd substitutions without considerations. I wouldn't recommend this place.

The customer service was 10/10, although the cook seemed a bit stern when answering questions he looked like he did his best to be kind and understanding it was my first time here. The ambiance is calm and comfortable. Everything I ordered was amazing! They are definitely a 5 star establishment. I enjoyed every bite.

    My husband and I order from here fairly regularly and the quality of the food has been top notch…read moreevery time! I will say that the portion sizes have shrunk considerably in recent months compared to when we first started getting takeout from here--the shawarma plates used to be so generously portioned that I'd have a leftover meal for the next day after only finishing half of my order, but I can finish the plate now no problem. The styrofoam containers got much more shallow so you don't get as much for your money, unfortunately. That said, their chicken shawarma and rice are so delicious, and the garlic spread is perfectly creamy and flavorful. Easy online ordering system, often with BOGO deals that enable you to still get a lot of bang for your buck if you time it right. We have yet to dine in but enjoy how easy and quick pickup is, especially given their location right off the 5. On our way to being regulars now!

This place was busy for a Monday night with lots of to-go orders and a few families in the small dining room. The food was delicious and service was friendly.

    We have tried the Gyro wrap, Gyro Platter, The Works Platter and Chicken Shawarma Platter twice…read moreeach now to be sure of consistency. HOWEVER, this most recent order did leave us questioning couple things. Chicken Shawarma was dry this time and seems to have shrunk in quantity AND the pieces were VERY chopped up so didn't really get a good bite. Not much sauce/flavoring either. Compared to our first time ordering this... super disappointed. Not sure if we will order this again because of quality/quantity control. The Works... the size of the grape leaves seemed to have shrunk in half?? Not anything close to what we got the last time ordering this combo platter. Taste was great but it went from "busting out the seems fully wrapped" to "single bite size". Also, they missed the yogurt that comes along with each platter. Last time they missed some add-on sauces we paid extra for also. We even called to ask they double check the sauces because we didn't receive the correct items last time. First 2 orders were perfection and then these past 2 orders had some issues. Overall, I would give 3.5 Stars at this point.

She asked us to wait while she cleaned up a table on the outside , surprising to me because there was nobody outside nonetheless we waited. Our server was a man whose service was subpar to say the least he rarely checked up on us, and when it was time for us to receive our food, one of the guests in my party did not receive their food at the same time as the others, it seemed as though they might have forgotten to make that guest's dinner so he had to wait an extra 15 minutes the waiter and another waiter would come to the table and ask him what did you order again? What was it again? Which demonstrated unorganized employees, considering they took our order they should just reference that instead of coming back-and-forth multiple times and making the guest wait longer each time. I ordered a chicken Parm Panini with chicken soup. The chicken Parm sandwich was average however, I was disappointed with the size of the chicken. I lifted the bread and there was a measly morsel of chicken, considering the price of a Panini; I was expecting a bit more! The chicken soup was horrible. It tasted like water with hardly any broth. They threw in random vegetables with dry shredded pieces of chicken, my other guests who had chicken soup also disliked the quality and taste of the soup. Poor selection of drinks. Overall, poor service, bland food. When it was time to pay our waiter didn't show up so I walked to the front and asked for the bill then paid there. For almost 200$ this was a disaster; I will look into other Mediterranean restaurants.
