One of our favorite shawarma spots in socal. They have so many sauces and sides to choose from. The ladies making our food were so sweet and welcoming. There was a line when we got there which says a lot because the food is that good. So worth it!! read more

Amazing food atmosphere service ! Food is fresh Definitely a must try and will be our go to shawarma spot from now on !

Hands down one of the best shawarma spots I've been to! The food was fresh, flavorful, and made with so much attention to detail. The beef shawarma was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with flavor in every bite. The portions were generous and everything tasted high quality. What really stood out though was the hospitality. The owner and staff were exceptional -- so welcoming, incredibly kind, and genuinely made the experience feel special! They were so sweet and fun to talk to, and you can tell there's real passion behind both the food and the customer experience. It's rare to find a place that delivers amazing food and makes you feel so warmly welcomed at the same time. If you're craving authentic, delicious shawarma, SimSim is absolutely worth the visit! Easily a 10/10 experience! read more

Mix shawarma plate, falafel plate. Staff assembled plates with craftsmanship. It was nice to see. Beef and chicken had intense flavor. Really tasty. Pickled sides vibrant color and dimension. Rice fragrant and tasty. Every bite was bigger than the last. Falafel average, little small. Sauces and hummus decent variety, 1 of them reminded me of tuna. read more

SimSim Shawarma House - Mix shawarma plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Anaheim, California

Tried this new spot for lunch today. Interior is super intimate/cozy with mood lighting and decor. The service was friendly, albeit severely disorganized. It took almost 30 minutes for them to help/complete 4 orders. I think they're understaffed and the staff they have may not be fully trained. The front woman was basically doing everything and the meat shaving/fryer guy looked lost and unable to help her. I got the beef shawarma plate. The meat was well seasoned, but could have used more time spinning over the flame for the crisp edges you want from shawarma. Came with a medley of fresh/acidic Mediterranean sides and rice. Bowl overall I'd give a 7/10. Would consider trying again, but with limited time on my lunch hour, they'd need to get their operations in order first. read more

SimSim Shawarma House - Beef Shawarma (Plate) - Mediterranean Near Me - Anaheim, California

So delicious. These guys have been here for 4 months and the food is incredible. The service is top notch, and the location is clean! I had some questions about the menu and was given clear information about the items I wanted to order. I ordered the beef shawarma wrap, which she explained wasn't on the menu yet. As I watched her prep the food I thought she could be prepping it for a magazine cover. I had her add a little hot sauce, which wasn't that hot! She also gave me a couple of falafel to try, just as a sample! So good! I may go with a falafel wrap next time, but to miss out on the shawarma may be a mistake! I may have to go with BOTH!! Highly recommend! I'll be back!! read more

Loved this place; great service & great food! I got the Mixed Shawarma Plate (10/10!) it was a perfect mix of everything, the chicken schnitzel on jerusalem bread (8.5/10) & Beef Shawarma Pita (8/10) were solid! Their red sauce made everything better! Parking was easy to find, I parked in the back by the gas station. Definitely recommend. read more

Was looking for some fresh food tonight for dinner and happened upon SimSim Shawarma house. I am so glad I came here, totally a hidden gem. There was not really a wait (went around 7:30). The food is so fresh and delicious. We got the 7pc falafel, grilled shawarma wrap (not featured on the menu but 10/10 recommend) and the mix shawarma plate. The wrap is literally, fresh, and delicious. The falafel was crispy and seasoned to perfection. The shawarma plate is massive! Seriously it's HEAVY. The toppings and sauces are so delicious, we opted to get all but the pickle, we did get the pickle on the wrap and it was delicious. The service was great, super friendly woman helped us. Will be coming here again, and recommending SimSim to anyone who asks! read more

SimSim Shawarma House is located right next to Mar7aba (coffee and home made pastries) and has the same owners. Ordering is done at the counter at this casual restaurant and the inside is clean with comfortable seating indoors. They offer shawarma plates, pitas, falafel and schnitzel. I went with a mixed shawarma plate. All the food served here is HALAL. Mix Shawarma Plate ($16.99 + $1.50 for hummus) - The shawarma plate came with rice, chicken and beef shawarma and fresh veggies and sides to choose from. I went with hummus, garlic sauce, spicy garlic sauce, cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickles, tzatziki sauce, pickled onions, onions, sweet cream cabbage, mint, pickled turnips, and arugula. I also went with some tahini sauce, house sauce, and pomegranate molasses. Overall the food tasted amazing, and each ingredient was so fresh. This place in terms of quality, food, and setup reminded me of one of my favorite restaurants, Sababa Falafel, except there was no crazy line here. I definitely will be stopping by here when I need my shawarma fix, and then will stop by next door to get a pistachio latte. read more

Located in a plaza on the corner of Brookhurst and La Palma you'll find a small and unassuming restaurant that serves up some of the tastiest shawarma in Anaheim. Enter the glass doors and you'll walk almost directly to the counter where you'll be greeted with a smile by friendly and welcoming staff. The menu is small which is nice making it simple. Once you place your order and pay at the counter you'll see a small dining area with a few tables. The decor is nice, simple, warm lighting, most importantly very clean. Let's get to the food. "What would you like?" We hoped to try out a beef and a chicken plate one each. It was 9:03pm when we arrived and being the end of the day unfortunately the chicken was already finished. "Beef shawarma it is." - Beef Shawarma Plate with everything. 4/5 Stars ***Add hummus - Beef Shawarma Pita 5/5 stars One thing for sure, it's fresh. The vegetables, the sides, the seasonings all make for an amazing flavor profile. My wife enjoyed the plate I had the pita wrap. Let's talk about the pita. This pocket of dough was just so nice. Slightly blistered, light, not thick, but still held everything together through each bite. My pita was perfectly packed. A well balanced proportion of veggies to protein ratio along with all the accompaniments. Every bite was delicious. Not a bite was missing any ingredients. End of your meal, you'll bus your tray. Be sure to thank the staff for an amazing meal. You can definitely taste the difference when folks have pride in their work and put love into the food. I'm definitely coming back, looking forward to another amazing Pita and trying everything else on the menu. The plaza was under a long renovation, might've been over a year nearly two. Finally completed, and I'm definitely glad it's become home to a new flavorful addition of Mediterranean food in Anaheim read more

I'd been meaning to try this place for a while, so I finally stopped by for takeout. The restaurant was clean and the service was quick. I ordered the mixed shawarma plate with all the fixings--and while I was happy with the overall flavor and generous portion for the price, there were a few misses. I had to pay extra for hummus, which was fine, but I specifically asked for it on the side. Unfortunately, it was mixed in with everything else. More importantly, both the chicken and beef were quite dry. I wish they had more moisture--they'd be so much better with a juicier, more tender texture. That said, the taste of the meal was delicious, and I'd still consider coming back if they could nail the meat quality. A solid meal with room to improve. read more

Simsim recently opened, and I decided to try it after seeing it on my Yelp feed. I dropped in for lunch and had an excellent first experience. I walked in and was greeted by a kind gentleman (may have been the manager). The menu is simple. You choose among plates and pitas, then pick your protein, then choose among the fresh ingredients and sauces in front of you. You make it your way. I ordered the beef shawarma pita, chose my preferred ingredients, and then the flavorful, tender meat carved from the spit-roasted meat was carefully packed into the pita. It was very delicious and filling. I also ordered the fried veggies (seasoned eggplant and cauliflower). The veggies were nicely cooked, but not as crispy as expected. The gentleman (I wish I had gotten his name) also gave me a few sauces to dip in and add to my pita. For drinks, they offer some canned and bottled varieties, most of which I have never heard of, and I was intrigued. I tried the Freez Mix brand, and it was refreshing. I'll have to try another kind next time. The dining area is clean and spacious with tables and an inviting atmosphere. The staff was kind and prepared my order promptly. I can't wait to come back for another meal. The prices are a little high, but the quality is worth it. I spent $33 total for lunch. A nice treat once in a while. Wishing the best for this business. read more

Okay... the pitas here are massive. Filled to the brim with meat, veggies, and sauce. Cooked to order french fries and a plethora of different dipping sauces to try. SimSim is an experience. The service is great! Everyone I interacted with was very friendly and helpful. I had a few questions about the menu, drinks, etc. and they were all answered with a smile. The food was freshly made to order, and the fries were piping hot and crispy when they came out. The food here is tasty. Not exactly the cheapest thing in the world but they do not skimp on their portions. You WILL get what you paid for. The only issue I have isn't really even an issue, but the veggies do sink all the way to the bottom of the pita and make for an unbalanced bite. Again, not an issue, I'll just mix it up next time!! Overall, SimSim is a great choice for your next lunchtime meal with friends or just for a solo date where you want to treat yourself to something light and delicious. 8/10! read more

Just tried simsim for the first time and they hit out of the park. Edgar took care of me and made a beautiful bowl. The ingredients are fresh and tasty. I would go as far as to say this is the best Mediterranean spot in town. Ambiance indoors is very nice with temp being perfect. Staff in general was very kind read more

I think I've found my new hyperfixation. The food here was absolutely phenomenal--every bite was fresh, authentic, and packed with flavor. The restaurant itself is notably clean and has a great atmosphere, but what really made the experience stand out was the service. Muhammad and Anne were incredibly friendly and welcoming; their recommendations were spot on and truly elevated the meal. If you're looking for top-tier food and a staff that actually cares about your experience, this is the spot. I'll definitely be back ! read more

The food was soooo good! We loved the chicken bowl and all the staff were so nice and helpful. We'll definitely be back soon!!

A new shawarma spot just opened nearby, so I had to check it out. We arrived about five minutes before opening, and they kindly let us come in and sit while they finished getting ready. I originally wanted to try the falafel, but they told me it would take about 30 minutes to prepare. (They later apologized--the kitchen started a bit late today so the falafel wasn't ready by opening. I just happened to come on an off day :/ ). So instead, I got the fried veggie plate, which included fried cauliflower, eggplant, and fries. Note: The pita sandwiches come with hummus, but the plates don't--it's an extra $1.50. I usually go to Sababa in Stanton/Garden Grove for falafel pitas and pita sandwiches--it's been my go-to--but I think I may have found my new favorite place! The bread was incredibly fresh and delicious (they get it delivered from a bakery in Gardena every morning). My husband ordered the chicken schnitzel plate. The rice was flavorful, and the schnitzel was nicely breaded and well-seasoned. You HAVE to try their house sauce--it's kind of like a less sweet, tangier Thousand Island--and the pomegranate molasses sauce. Those sauces really make the dish. Overall, everything was delicious, the staff was friendly, and the place was very clean. I'll definitely be coming back! The only downsides: no high chairs for babies, no paper towels in the bathroom (though they do have a Dyson hand dryer), and no baby changing station. Still, I'm giving them 5 stars since they've only been open for three weeks. read more

We wanted to see the hype of this place and as we should have known it was a little odd when they refuse to give my sister a sample of the Veal shawarma we still gave it a fair shot. The falafel was very good and the fried vegetables and hummus are excellent but the chicken and Veal shawarma are so minced which reminded me of Halal guys which is not our traditional shawarma. Honestly had we seen the extremely minced shavings we wouldn't have stayed but perhaps they have particular clients that like it this way. read more

Went here for the first time and staff were friendly and opening :) It's like chipotle style mediterranean food, you get to pick and choose your toppings.

We heard good things about this Palestinian Joint and we are so grateful we stopped by. We had the beef shawarma in the Jerusalem bread and it was so delicious and different than any shawarma I have had. The beef is excellent quality, and you can choose what type of bread you want pita, or I forget what the other one is called. We went with the toppings they recommended and I am glad we did. The service was exceptional and the place looked really nice and different. We had dessert next door at mar7haba. It was such a lovely experience. Thank you read more

Me and my fiancé have been going here for a while and love the shwarma, but recently in the last two weeks or so they changed the packaging, I don't mean to be unfair but the food doesn't look as well presented in the white and green bowls as it did in the black containers. I wish they would change it back cause it even felt as if the portions were bigger. It's such a small change and yet it makes me not crave it as much. I wish they would go back to the other platter, other than that the food is perfect and service is great except for one worker but she doesn't seem to work there often. read more

I ordered the falafel plate. My only gripe is that the rice to everything-else is unbalanced, it would be perfect if they could increase the base portion of rice as I found myself finishing the falafel/veggies but not having enough rice with every bite. Nonetheless, the food is really good so I will be back to try other things on their menu! read more
