    You're paying for mostly rice, wilted iceberg lettuce and overcooked beef'.  Rating 1/10
    Julie T.

    Today was quite disappointing and I won't be returning based on favoritism, poor food quality. I ordered the beef shawarma plate which I thought would be their signature dish since it's part of their establishment's name. Instead the plate is MOSTLY RICE, has little beef and is so SALTY!!!! *** I also noticed there's favoritism *** They pick and choose who gets more protein portions and better quality. Please keep that in mind ... it's dependent on your background. ***** It was difficult to swallow. They don't offer any complimentary water so you have to buy their beverages or drink from the faucet. Also, the line inside was confusing. People just standing around the cashier area without any order. There were a few rude customers and management doesn't do anything. A short mailman waiting told me that he was here first and the line starts to his left. After picking up her order, a girl in her 20's turns around from the front and insists on walking where I'm waiting for my order to be taken. I'm waiting between 2 tables and there's no room for me to move in front or at the sides. She wants me to move backwards to let her through and meanwhile she can go left or right of me around the tables. I don't recommend coming here. There are much better choices elsewhere.

    Wraps are so good. Filled with protein

    Shawarma house. I loved it. Got two wraps. 1 chicken and 1 beef. 11 dollars each. Filled with a lot of protein. Lots of pickles. Toasted. With the sauce. So good. Not greasy. Very flavorful. 3 extra bucks got me some fries. I'll be back to try the combos. And sides

    Chicken kabob plate

    Honestly this is my new favorite Mediterranean spot! I ordered the chicken kabob plate to share with my partner. It was more than enough food for us to enjoy a lighter lunch. Be hungry if you're ordering two plates! I think the establishment prefers that you order on the screen so that they can focus on getting out the orders fast. The food tasted great. I really loved that the salad wasn't plain. It had a great flavor, as did the chicken, rice and hummus. Staff is super friendly. They knew we were sharing and offered us 2 sauces. There is plenty of seating indoors and the outdoor area has a nice patio. The tables were all kept really clean. Overall, it's a really great place, and we will definitely be coming back to try some of their other stuff.

    We had Jerusalem Roastery in mind for dessert and this place is the ultimate partner for the entree, three doors down. Bit dark inside but still, clean enough and plenty of seats available. Our falafel and chicken wraps were nice and well packed in, meaning very little chance to spill the contents over your outfit. Fries that accompanied the order, were crispy on the outside but a but mush on the inside. Good flavors though. Yoghurt and pepper sauces were on point and the yoghurt was actually thick and flavorful. Our sodas were definitely middle-eastern but matched the food well. Service was on point as well, no complaint on that point. Price wise, in there with everybody else which makes a regular visit prohibitive but from time to time a nice reason to eat out.

    This is our go-to spot for Mediterranean. The menu is pretty standard: gyro, kofta, falafel, etc. BUT the flavor is amazing. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Even my kids love everything from the beef kebabs to the kofta. Lately, I've been getting the shawarma wrap. It's a good deal and nice sized meal. Also, hands down the best hummus ever. My kids devour it. They've done some keep with the decor and renovations. It's a nice spot for a quick dinner. Even sitting outdoors is not bad because it's walled off from the street. The service is standard. They're friendly but also to the point and get orders out.

    Checking out this popular spot in Garden Grove!

    Discovered Shawarma House while staying at the Great Wolf Lodge, and with Yelps high reviews, we had to stop by. There is a standing tablet by the door to place your order, but you can also place your order by the register, especially if there is no line. Beware of using the Kiosk, I noticed on my receipt that there is a Kiosk charge (first time I have heard of this)! Ordered the Beef Shawarma Plate, Cheese Sambousek, Baklava for dine in; and a Large Rice to go. For what we ordered, it was plenty, servings for 2 people. The plate included, salad, pita bread and hummus along with beef shawarma shavings and yellow rice. Food was good, prices are reasonable. There was a constant flow of customer, validating how good their food is! Unlike other Shawarma/Mediterranean Restaurants I have been too, they do not provide complementary Tea. Establishment was clean, friendly staff, lots of parking. Stop by if ever you are staying at the Great Wolf Lodge, just don't use the Kiosk if it is not busy.

    Shawarma House is our go-to lunch spot at work and it never disappoints. My coworkers and I order the family deals all the time, and it's honestly the best way to feed a group -- tons of food, great variety, and everything is always fresh and flavorful. The main dishes are solid, but the real stars for me are the sides. Their garlic sauce is SO good -- creamy, bold, and basically addictive. I could put it on everything. And the babaganoush is amazing too, super smoky and smooth with that perfect homemade taste. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and it's always a crowd-pleaser when we order. If you're feeding a group or just craving really good Mediterranean food, this place is a must.

    Past by this place and decided to try it. Staff move pretty fast making it a great place when you just want to grab a quick bite to eat. Chicken shawarma - they toast the wrap so it's crispy on the outside and on the smaller side. Think burrito that comes with side of chili and yogurt tzatziki like sauce. Chicken kabob - tender chicken with a side of salad, humus and rice. Really good chicken! Both items were good! Parking was not a problem. We did have to wait a while for our food (5-10 minutes).

    Falafel plate double salad no rice.
    Ericka S.

    The falafel here is absolutely tasty and very filling. My go to place for excellent Mediterranean food. The pita bread and hummus is incredibly delicious. The hubby prefers the beef shawarma, but has tried all the different meat options with good reviews. We've had this little gem on our rotation since a good friend introduced us last year. You can't go wrong with a wrap or an entree, order extra pickles for a satisfying crunch. Order ahead for a quick and easy pickup or dine in to enjoy piping hot. Enjoy! There's plenty of seating in the casual dining room and parking is accessible.

    Salad & Hummus/Dips!

    Shawarma House provided catering for our office dinner/evening meeting - the food is phenomenal! I've actually never heard of them prior to the catering - was surprised they weren't too far of a drive from work, so will probably find myself checking them out in the near future. Our delivery driver got lost - understandable when delivering to a hospital campus - but everything was so well packaged, that the food was fresh and hot even after the initial mishap. We placed three orders of the #5 family meal - 15 Skewers Mixed Grill Kabob - (5 chicken kabob / 5 beef kabob / 5 kofta kabob) - which also came with trays of hummus, baba ganoush, salad, rice, pita bread, tahini, garlic, and spicy sauce. They were nice enough to serve everything in well packaged containers, proteins off the kabob skewer. Total including delivery fee, tax, and driver tip was $485. The beef kofta was great - perfectly portioned, juicy and full of flavor. The chicken pieces were boneless, tender, juicy, and also delicious. Hands down - my favorite bites were the beef/filet mignon cubes. They were grilled just right - I think Medium/Medium-Well - perfect flavoring, tender bite, well seasoned. The rice, salad, hummus, and other garnishments were great and complemented the meal quite well. The portions were huge - even after a second helping, by the end of the meeting, there were plenty of leftovers which I happily helped myself to.

    Premium Mix Grill Plate
    Diego T.

    I've ordered both through DoorDash and eaten there in person, so I can confirm that these people have mastered the art of delivery. My food always arrives in perfect condition, which is rare these days (looking at you, mystery-soggy-bag places). The Premium Mix Grill is my personal heavyweight champion. The chicken? Smoky perfection. The lamb and beef? Tender flavor explosions. The rice is so good and crazy seasoned thay just screams perfection That plate is massive..like "two-day meal prep" big... unless I'm in my "gains" era, then it's a one-day celebration of pure protein and joy. Dining in? It's always buzzing and for good reason. Total vibe. They didn't skimp when I asked for hot sauce either (bonus points for generosity). Could it be spicier? Sure. But the tahini and cucumber yogurt sauce cools everything down just right like the chill friend who keeps you balanced after a wild night out Pro tip: grab an extra pack of pita bread. It's soft, warm, and dangerously easy to demolish in one sitting.

    YUM!! This food is delicious! I arrived and ordered my chicken shawarma wrap on the kiosk. Shortly after, they called my order. The team there was working hard and were courteous. When I got to my food, I intended on eating half then and half later. But this thing was SO good... I ended up eating the whole thing. Boy oh boy was I stuffed, but it was so worth it! Delicious!!!! The meat is not only flavorful and moist, but the rap is super full of meat! Everywhere else I've went is skimpy on meat. But not here. I loved it so much, I went back the next day for another one.

    Travis P.

    Such a simple spot, but the food is absolutely delicious. The quality is excellent, and the portions are generous. We ended up sharing a premium mixed plate and an appetizer, and two of us left completely full. Beef Sambousek - This was amazing. Super crispy shells, not oily at all, and packed with flavor. Definitely a must-try appetizer! (5/5) Premium Mixed Plate - Great variety--you get a little bit of everything. At around $22, it's an excellent value. Portions are generous enough to easily share between two people. (4.5/5) Overall, terrific Mediterranean food at a very reasonable price. Parking: Large lot in front.

    Im usually a kabob type of person, but man did this place change my mind. The shawarma here was…read moremoist and filled with flavor. You can't go wrong with either! Chicken was moist and the beef had a nice char on them. Honestly the best shawarma i have had and excited to return to get it again for lunch.

    More like 4.5 stars. One of these days, Yelp is going to let us do 1/4 and 1/2 star ratings…read more Before you read my review, you should know this about me: 1. I'm a southern Californian born in Taiwan. 2. I've lived in north Orange County all my life minus the four years I spent in UT for college. 3. I love to eat, and refuse to eat anything I don't think taste good. REFUSE. 4. I don't mind spending money to eat well. 5. My parents owned two sandwich shops while I was growing up. I worked there as a kid, through college and beyond, so I'm a big fan of mom and pop shops. If you need a snapshot: Service - 4/5 - prompt, on it, not extremely attentive Food Quality - 5/5 Selection - 4/5 Pricing - 5/5 Parking (ease, available) - 5/5 We came by here totally by accident. It's close to Vons and one of my favorite stores, Book Off. But that's not why you want to read. We had at several dishes and have gone back at least twice for their family specials. The rice pilaf is to die for. The meats are succulent. The cucumber yogurt sauce is FANTASTIC. And folks, this family-owned business is not here to gauge your eyes out price-wise. I'm not expecting anyone to come from out of town to this place or anything like that, but c'mon down if you're hankering for Mediterranean food at reasonable prices (esp. for families and you like what they're offering for those family packages) and you're within a 10 minute drive, this is worth your while. Congratulations to another great mom and pop shop in this area.

    Great food quality for the price - their lunch pricing at $21.99 is quite a deal. Dinner at $28.99…read moreis also great too. In addition, at dinner only, each person can order one lamb shank - just this piece of meat alone is worth your $28.99 visit. The restaurant food section is maintained very cleanly, food is beautifully displayed for a self-serve buffet restaurant. Plenty of seating area with ability to accommodate larger parties, and feels family friendly. The only shortcoming they have is that their fruit section tastes consistently unappealing, and some of the desserts don't tastes too great either. But at least their main dishes taste good. Regardless, this is a regular lunch spot frequented, and would bring friends over for dinner here, if they ever feel like Mediterranean.

    I stopped by Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet in Cerritos for a brunch-style meal…read more For a buffet, the price didn't seem too expensive at first, but after eating, I didn't necessarily feel like it was an amazing value for what I had. To be fair, I went on a weekend, so I paid the highest price. I could see this place being a much better value during weekday lunch. The inside was very clean, which I appreciated. One thing that felt a little awkward was the service setup. There didn't really seem to be servers inside, and you pay when you leave, so I wasn't completely sure how much tip made sense. I noticed they even had a 10% tip option, so I'm guessing they know the setup can feel a little unclear. The food overall was clean and decent. It felt like they had pretty much everything you would expect from an American-style Mediterranean/Middle Eastern buffet. Nothing really stood out as especially amazing, but there was a good variety, and most of the food gave me that "this is probably healthy" feeling. I'd consider coming back if I were with friends who really like Mediterranean food.
