    Shish tawook plate plus one additional skewer of Chicken
    Jim K.

    Came in to order chicken and was taken back by the hospitality and size of plate. I ordered a chicken plate with an extra skewer of Chicken and side of Baba ganouch. The plate came out loaded with two skewers of chicken on a large bed of rice with a salad and Hummus. I over ordered but it was ok. We took some food home and the quality and quantity really make you want to return. Solid service , great food quality and quiet seating area was a great way to relax after a long week.

    Mixed pita beef and chicken extra pickles so Good
    Scott T.

    Food very good fresh food made to order. I Like the pita is cut up in small size bites. Fries have the best seasoning. Reddish pickles are my favorite and the had them. Service the owner was helpful and nice

    Delicious Falafels and the yummiest knafeh dessert. Yummm!! It's a must to try. :) The owner is very caring and professional.

    chicken shawarma plate
    Andrea C.

    I stopped by today to try out this new shawarma spot. As someone Lebanese who's grown up around really good food, I'd say this place is pretty solid. We ordered a beef shawarma sandwich and a chicken shawarma plate. The beef sandwich, which came with fries, was tasty. The chicken plate included salad, rice, and hummus--the salad was fresh and flavorful, the hummus was just okay, and the chicken itself was a little on the dry side. To be fair, we came toward the end of the day, so the shawarma wasn't as fresh as it would be earlier. Since shawarma is best when it's cut straight off the spit, I'd recommend coming earlier in the day for the best experience. Overall, definitely a good spot worth trying!

    New Syrian restaurant that's a gem!! I ordered the chicken shawarma and it comes with side of fries, garlic sauce, cole slaw and veggies. The fries had a dash of cumin on top just like they make it in the Middle East. SO good and really crispy. The chicken shawarma was cooked to perfection with little pieces of extra chicken generously placed on top. My only con is the type of bread they use for the sandwich, it's good just not great. Big overall big plate for $12. It's worth it, not too expensive. The workers and owner are super nice. Area is clean and the front and back door are open so there is a great amount of fresh air coming in. There's also a patio with a prayer mat, just beautiful!

    All this for $28. We can only finished half!

    What a gem. Great value and delicious food! Ordered the mixed kabobs plate and everything was great. Love the flavor in the rice too.

    Obaid Kitchen has a soft opening so I gave it a try. The Kofta kebab and chicken shawarma were delicious. Their humus was very tasty and the rice has a good fragrance. The staff were friendly and helpful. Food took a while to come out. Ambiance is casual and comfortable. Can't wait to try their other dishes next time.

    Great food, good service, and clean. Everything was made fresh and good to go. 100% would recommend.

    Absolutely love my experience at this Mediterranean restaurant. Warm and welcoming atmosphere, the staff were incredibly friendly. The food was the highlight fresh flavourful, and beautifully presented. I tried Hummus, Tabbouleh, Kebbeh,Shawerma, and Knafeh, everything tasted authentic and homemade. If you are in Orange county and craving something different and delicious, this place is a must-visit. I will definitely be coming back!

    Shawarma "sandwich"/wrap

    In my opinion, this business is misusing the Too Good To Go app in a way that feels intentionally deceptive. They advertise a "$15 shawarma sandwich" available for $5 -- but what I received was clearly not a discounted version of their regular sandwich. The portion was tiny -- nowhere near the size or quality of a $15 item. When I called the restaurant to clarify, the staff openly told me they make smaller sandwiches specifically for Too Good To Go orders. That's not just disappointing -- it's misleading. The purpose of the app is to reduce food waste by helping businesses sell leftover, unsold food at a discount -- not to create mini, low-cost versions of products just to appear like you're getting a deal. If they want to sell snack-sized sandwiches for $5, that's fine -- but they should advertise it honestly. Instead, they're making customers think they're getting a $15 sandwich at a discount, when in reality, they're just getting a scaled-down version with no real savings. I ordered three sandwiches thinking I could feed my family -- but each one was barely the width of a few chopsticks. Everyone was disappointed and still hungry. Too Good To Go is used by a lot of people who are trying to stretch every dollar -- people who are relying on the app not just for convenience, but because they need an affordable way to feed themselves or their families. That's what makes this so frustrating. It's not just a disappointing sandwich -- it's a business taking advantage of people who may be financially vulnerable, all while pretending to offer a deal. That's not just misleading -- it's unethical.

I ordered an iced vanilla latte with oat milk and initially thought it was good. Their coffee and drinks are pretty simple and on the more plain side. Personally, I thought the coffee could have been stronger, especially since I usually drink coffee for the caffeine and expect it to give me a little more of a boost. Unfortunately, by the time I got home, I was only halfway through my coffee when my stomach started hurting pretty badly, and I ultimately ended up spending much longer in the bathroom than I would have liked. I drink coffee pretty frequently (probably five out of seven days a week) and I generally don't have this kind of reaction to the different coffees I drink. I also hadn't consumed anything besides water this morning, so I'm fairly confident the coffee was what upset my stomach. My biggest concern is that if I had gotten this coffee before heading to work and had the same reaction, I would have been cooked. Thankfully, today was my day off. Aside from that experience, the shop itself has plenty of seating, and the staff is very friendly. It's really unfortunate that I had such a bad reaction to the coffee because, otherwise, I didn't have any major complaints about the place.

Love Crumbl's rotating menu of fun new flavors and their traditional standby options they now offer each week. We love their traditional pink sugar cookie - the hint of almond is delicious. Other favorites include any of their cheesecake flavors, most notable cinnamon roll, and their traditional Oreo cookie as well. The cookies are huge so opt for a mini if you only want a little sugar rush. The Crumbl app makes pick up orders fast and easy, gives great rewards too if you are a consistent customer.

My consistent fav is definitely their classic pink sugar cookie (btw..a single cookie goes for $4.49 ~ which is average now-a-days, at least their cookie is a huge size). I just love the almond sugar cookie topped with that silky pink almond frosting. It's heavenly. Heads up, their cookies are quite sweet sometimes, hence why I always cut up my cookie into fourths and eat only a quarter at a time & over a day or two. I've also tried their cookie thins ~ in pink sugar & chocolate chip. It comes with 2 for the price of 1 regular-sized cookie, so not bad/fair. It's thin, crispy and chewy all rolled up in one..PERFECT for those who wanna feel less guilty. Lol Because their desserts are made fresh daily, their cookies are always fresh and soft. While I do like their concept of a weekly rotation menu (so there's always something new to try), sometimes the flavors are just too out there for my taste. I will try anything lemon-flavored, though. Yums! Their Foothill Ranch location is the closest to my house ~ located in the Foothill Ranch Towne Center, near Walmart & In-n-Out. The staff at this location is always friendly, and the store is super clean and welcoming. As you walk in, you place your order via an ipad/kiosk, so it's quick & efficient and your order is ready in no-time. I sometimes just order via the Crumbl app as well, for a fast, drive-by pick-up. FYI..all their stores close every Sunday, in case you get a case of the sweet munchies on the weekend. All in all, if you're looking for a delicious dessert, Crumbl is worth checking out!
