I'm so embarrassed that this is supposed to represent a Syrian restaurant. They are so rude and disrespectful. I went with my family on Eid and was so disappointed. The food didn't come out together we all ordered shawarma they brought one plate and then 20 min later brought the rest. We got some apps but no bread. Ice machine was broken and the soda was all flat. The atmosphere was just sad. Syrians are known to be kind and generous people. read more

Amazing and authentic Mediterranean food. The food was very flavorful and service was amazing. Highly recommended

Very tasty falafel I loved the shawarma both chicken and beef they were amazing. The restaurant is very clean and they have a outdoor section read more

First time I tried them out. Very friendly and nice staff. This is a great place if you are craving for Mediterranean food!!

Went in during Ramadan and got turned away because they're "booked for iftar" even though it's 2 hours after iftar and the restaurant was empty. Not cool we always support the local Muslim restaurants but this place ain't it. read more

We tried this place for the first time this week, and we will never step foot in it again. The food was OK, but the service was shameful. Both the chef and order taker were disrespectful and had zero customer service skills. I ordered 5 sandwiches but was charged 5 plates instead. I highly doubt this place will stay in business for more than a few months. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

Delicious food! We've been to many middle eastern restaurants in OC and have to say this is one of a few that do a wonderful job. Their dishes are very flavorful and are not dry! We had a combo dish with lamb ribs, beef kabob, chicken kabob and kafta with salad and hummus--- highly recommend!! read more

Great service and the food was wonderful, definitely coming back soon. I would suggest for anyone looking for some good Mediterranean food.

Great food and beautiful plates-looking forward to having this new restaurant in the area read more

Obaid Kitchen is a new spot in Lake Forest, CA. This restaurant offer a tasty Syrian bite. We tried their Mediterranean Cuisine for the first time, we ordered the Mix Kabab and the beef Kabab. Both plates came with delicious green salads, rice, and humus. Everything was delicious. We also tried the falafel plate and it didn't disappoint. The owner made sure we tried the Baklava, what a buttery and nutty dessert, we will be back! read more

I've given this restaurant a few chances and all my experiences have been below par. Let's start with the best part that earned the review a second star - the hummus is really good. That's where the good ends. Everything else is just bad. The worst is the customer service. It truly feels like they don't care about anyone who might not be from their own community. On several occasions, I've just been ignored despite being ahead in line. And when you finally have their attention, they are curt. The rest of the menu is routinely underwhelming. The meats are dry. The presentation is just not there. I attended their Iftar dinner with high expectations because it was advertised really nicely by some food influencers on Instagram and again, it was just bad. The food was mediocre but the service was abysmal. The guy serving the dessert made me feel like I was scamming him. I was there with my dad and decided I would get dessert for him too. The guy serving was making sure the guests only got one dessert which is crazy anyway. When I asked for a second, he gestured to me like I had already got my one tiny desert until I had to explain to him by pointing at the second paying guest. It was embarrassing. I don't see this place lasting long. What a downgrade from the restaurant that previously occupied this space (Garden Mediterranean). read more

HIDDEN GEM!! The food was fresh and full of flavor. I got the tabouli and it was so good. The staff was really nice n Hazem was so helpful, and the service was quick. Definitely a spot I'd come back to! read more

Went there for a birthday party and really enjoyed the food. I had Kebab combo and others had shawarmas. Nice flavors and everything tasted fresh. Our waiter was Abood, he was nice and gave us complimentary pieces of baklava after dinner! I picked up a couple of boxes of baklava to take home! The ambiance was not too fancy, but it was clean, with modern decorations and not too noisy. read more

Friendly family atmosphere. great food. Delicious authentic food and recipes. The waiter help me by explaining what is in each dish as I had never had this food before and was very very delicious Syrian food. read more

The few times I have been to Obaid Kitchen have been extremely positive! The food is amazing and you can get it for an amazing price, there is really nothing else like it that I have found in the area! The staff is nice and service is good, I always feel happy coming here. read more

This was my first time eating here. The people here are very genuine & the service was excellent. Food was amazing & I will definitely be coming back. Happy customer here! read more

Came here during the soft opening. Large portions (would definitely share a plate), food was amazing. Flavorful, each item distinct from the last, amazing spices, everyone walked away full and happy. Highly recommend. read more

Amazing food and service!! Ahmad (the owner) and all the staff were so welcoming and friendly. I've tried several shawarma places, but so far this is my favorite! Can't wait to try different dishes next time:) read more

Came for the beef and chicken shawarma and the food was Great! Service was excellent and friendly! Will come back again!

This place was excellent. We ordered the fried chicken, Kabab Mix, some hummus and pita, and baklava. All the food was fresh and flavorful. The fried chicken was surprising and amazing with a maple flavor thanks to the use of Fenugreek in it. The chicken came with waffle fries that were also soooo good. I would not have thought Syrian food would have amazing fried chicken, but this is soooo good. It all tasted homemade and from scratch. I am definitely going back. read more

Great food, amazing service. Staff was very accommodating! Would recommend for everyone!

Authentic and delicious. Had the dinner selections and I'll be coming back to try the lunch specials soon.

The food was delicious, the owners were generous and so kind. Gave us free food and the restaurant was super clean

Huge rip off--even worse customer service. See other reviews!! Wouldn't recommend to my enemy

They were very accommodating and friendly to us, and our host went out of his way to make our experience enjoyable. This is a new restaurant and they are likely still figuring some things out so my review rating is aspirational for what I see them becoming. They give generous portions of food and we were able to share a plate between two people by adding on one extra kabob. They helped us understand the menu and let us know we didn't need to order the extra hummus because a generous portion was already included with our plate. They even gave me a free drink when I declined to order one. The restaurant is clean spacious and well lit, the ambient music was Taylor Swift. My one complaint would be the baba ganoush was a little bitter. But that can happen with some eggplants or when olive oil is blended too much. We enjoyed our experience and wish them well. read more

Obaid Kitchen is easily one of the most authentic middle eastern food spots I've tried in California. The food was absolutely delicious, super filling, and everything came out fast, no wait at all. The hospitality was amazing, and I was treated with so much kindness and respect. The service was excellent overall. I'm definitely coming back again. Highly recommend! read more

I recently stopped by Obaid Kitchen with my family from Damascus syria, and wow, what a great find! The food here is absolutely amazing, and you can tell they put a lot of effort into everything they serve!! I ordered the chicken shawarma plate, and it was honestly one of the best I've had. The chicken was super juicy and full of flavor, and the sides were fresh and delicious. The hummus was so smooth, the kibbeh was perfectly balanced, and the garlic sauce--don't even get me started, it was so good. You can really tell they care about using fresh ingredients. We also tried the knafe for dessert, and it was the perfect way to end the meal--crispy, sweet, but not overwhelming. It paired perfectly with a cup of coffee. The staff was super friendly and helpful! Delicious food :) read more

I really recommend this place. The food is amazing. Great customer service, speedy delivery and cooked well. 10/10 read more

i went with my friends and let me tell you...I loved the place. The food is delicious and the service is amazing!!

The service here is the worst, the guy at the cashier is very rude, we ordered the $80 mix kabab for 5 people, it comes with mixed kabab plate & shawarma, salad, hummus, and French fries, we waited 25 minutes to get the food (not bad) but then they only brought the mixed kabab plate, no shawarma, no fries, no salad. And then we asked the tall guy at the cashier can we get the rest of the order, he answered you've got everything, the shawarma and the fries and salad were written on the menu by mistake!! I was like WHAT? are you series? Anyway he noticed that we are upset so he brought the smallest plate he has and put a tiny pieces of chicken and beef Shawarma that is not enough for a little kid, and the worst part is he shoved it on the table like you want it ok here you go! This was one of the worst customer service I have ever had read more
