    Loaded Fries
    Francisco P.

    Just tried Mid East Eats a few blocks from my place in Watts and this spot was amazing. Everything tasted super fresh and full of flavor. My girlfriend got the loaded fries with chicken shawarma, hummus, feta, and all the toppings, and I got the burrito with chicken shawarma. Both were so good that we kept picking at each other's food. Everything tasted fresh and made with love. The mint lemonades were really good too, light and refreshing. Definitely planning to come back and try more from the menu. I love finding small local spots like this that make food with heart.

    I just wanted to take a moment to thank Sumer and Andy for an unforgettable meal, moment, and memory that I will cherish with my friends the rest of my life. Sumer, you radiate love, passion, community, and what it means to be Palestinian in my eyes. From the warm greeting when we arrived, the comfort in your space, and the beautiful decor, I felt so excited to be there. Each course was flavorful, thoughtful, wholesome, and exuded dedication In your craft as a chef. From the freshly baked bread, creamy hummus, the fantastic Jalapeño sauce, and refreshing tea and lemonade, it was hard not to smile and feel fulfilled while in your presence (and that was just the mezzes!!! Wow!). The maqlubeh was by far one of the best meals I've had the last 4 years of my life. The almonds and pine nuts on top of the maqlubeh was DIVINE (shout out to Andy for the sweet reminder). We had the pleasure of having some sweet figs from your tree, and that meant so much to me. I felt like I was eating with family again. In a time in my own life where it's been so hard to be present and feel loved, you made it effortless. I cherish that. This is all to say, thank you for dedicating your time, energy, love, culture, and passion for food to bring people together. I'm beyond grateful to have met you and even more grateful to have this memory in my mind and heart. I look forward to your pop ups and future dinner reservations! Love you Sumer! Thank you for sharing your gift with us! Keep it up .

    Worth the trip from anywhere in LA. I came on a whim and was welcomed by a friendly staff. And the food. THE FOOD! The falafel tacos and nachos were great. What a cool fusion concepts A good value for great food. We love an open air patio in the age of COVID. Great all around. This place is a GEM.

    We had the absolute pleasure of experiencing the Palestinian Private Dining Experience, and it was nothing short of incredible. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Sumer and Andy, whose hospitality made us feel right at home in their beautifully set up tented area. The meal began with a delicious spread of mezze, followed by a perfectly prepared maqlubeh, and ended with amazing Palestinian coffee that tied everything together. The portions were generous, the flavors were rich and authentic, and every dish told a story. What made the evening even more special was the opportunity to learn about the history behind the food and Palestinian culture. This added a rare and meaningful layer that elevated the entire experience. Our group was fairly large, yet everything felt personal, unrushed, and deeply thoughtful. This was easily the best Middle Eastern food we've had in Los Angeles. The experience is absolutely worth the price, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for not just a meal, but a cultural journey. Do not miss it.

    Unbelievable food and even more amazing owners. Had the West Bank Burrito and the Salatet El Yunani. So many flavors. Coming back again!

    Wonderful Vegan Palestinian Dinning Exprience with Chef Summer We were transported to Middle East, while sitting in the Majlis , the Vibrantly decorated Traditional sitting area, where your served In a style that feels like your being feed by family in their home. Which the Permited kitchen actually is the chefs home adding the extra layer of hospitality, unlike anything else . The from Scratch Dinner experience offered a variety of different cultural foods from Palestine, Summer shared stories with us about her culture , history, and her upbringing. Making the Food so much more special, knowing that is made with love and it's her form of resistance against oppression that she offers to the world . 20% of the proceeds are donated to Palestinian families, who are experiencing extreme hardships due to the Ongoing G3n!cide in Her Homeland. Thank you Chef summer, for welcoming us into your home and feeding us .

I was able to place an order after messaging @MidEastEats on TikTok. They were quick to respond and gave me a link where I could place an order for pickup. They were very transparent about estimated time, in case you are ordering baked goods. My order was ready quickly on the same day with short notice. I ordered the Falafel Tacos and the Falafel Nachos. And they were both so amazing!! I will say that the Falafel Tacos were my favorite. I had been eating falafel these past few weeks and trying at home, and these by far have been my favorite eats!! Next time I would probably order three orders of the two falafel tacos to split among my partner and I. I will be wanting to try their Spinach Fatayer or their Manakeesh. I do wish I ordered more, because i don't think i will be able to find such good tasting food unless I come back. They also offered us the option to eat at their home restaurant, which I would gladly do next time if I weren't in a rush. I will have to try their private dining experience, this food was amazing and Sumer & Andy were extremely nice and pleasant to be around.

Definitely one of the best falafel meals I've had in LA. The falafel was perfectly crispy on the outside but not at all dry. And those fried pita chips? oooof! Love that everything is vegan, so no sacrificing/omitting of ingredients was needed. Ask for it spicy with all the extras if you're a real one. The owner Sumer was super sweet and welcoming. She took the time to explain the menu items + ingredients and answer any questions we had. Will definitely be back!

I have never been disappointed in eating Xonxitas food. Their menu is always changing and some stay the same. Every time I see their pop up, I always purchase two or more things because everything I have gotten are good! The best memory I have from them was me making comments to either the owner or an employee that I remember getting something here that was really good but I don't remember what it was. The person's reply was, "Honey, everything here is good." HAHA! She is right! This time I had Carnitas, lentil/chorizo, and al pastor tacos, and the Jackfruit birria. My friend had their Jamaica agua fresca, lentil/chorizo taco, and the mulita. Everything was amazing. We both devoured everything we ate. If you ever see them at any event, I do recommend giving them a try! The Customer service is always great, food is always delicious, and the owner is very friendly.

I ordered the birria plate, which came with their vegan birria (made of jackfruit, I think), tortillas, and a side of rice and beans. First of all, the texture of the birria was spot on. I would have had a tough time discerning it from meat if I didn't know better. I have to admit, it was good but a little bland. It could have used a little more seasoning, which is why I couldn't give it the full 5 stars. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The vibe there was positive and upbeat. You could tell that they cared about their food and their customers. I was just a little disappointed that the food I ordered needed a tiny bit more seasoning. Then again, it was very busy when we visited, so it's possible that we got a less-than-perfect batch. It just gives me another reason for us to visit again, if you ask me! BTW, the line can get long very quickly. Make sure you get there early, or be ready to wait a little bit. It's worth it to give some support to this local business.

I ordered their Salmon Kabob plate that came with yummy rice, a salad, hummus and a pita. It was served with a garlic white sauce and a green slightly spicy sauce. I drizzled both on the kabobs and rice and everything blended perfectly. The salmon was seasoned so well and was so tender! It was perfectly cooked because it retained the softness salmon needs.
