    So glad we tried this place! Everything tasted great. Unfortunately, the other items were eaten to fast to be pictured.

    Mix shawarma plate

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    It's just good not great or blow your mind amazing, it's a decent option for lunch. I probably wouldn't frequently visit this place. Maybe a(EE times a year. I got the bowl and the rice is ok want really anything to remember about it. The chicken was actually the best part. The vegetable options are good I'm glad they offer just cucumbers and not just the cucumber and tomatoes mixed together. For the price it's good. 15 bucks plus 1.50 for a large scoop of hummus. I'll try again soon. The service was a bit slow but the guys working on 5/27 were having a hard time being organized. The place is super clean and nice and cool during this heat.

    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.

    Came to Simsim shawarma after seeing a video on IG - got their beef & chicken shawarma wraps. The flavors were excellent and the price was fair - $12-15 a wrap. The service was great!

    The shawarma wraps are so delicious here! We enjoyed them so much! Sadly I forgot to take a picture of the food but not to worry I got great photos of inside. This place is a hit! The decor is nice and the food is delicious! Situated next to a smoke shop and hookah lounge and a coffee shop you are in the vicinity of amazing-ness! Selena was super courteous and so great! We will be back often for sure!

    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!

    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

    This cute little resturant is such a good find! I got the chicken plate and since it was my first time, the staff gave me every sauce on the side to try! The chili sauce was my favorite. The spicy garlic was a good touch of spice to the plate. Definitely would go back

    This restaurant is nice and clean and the staff is very nice. I would totally recommend the food is fresh and quality tasting, but the prices are a little high and they do not have a fountain drink dispenser, but they have lots of unique beverages to choose from in their cooler.

The beef shawarma was juicy and seasoned really well, and watching the shawarma spinning while they prepare everything was such a nice touch. The kafta was also delicious. Freez mix drinks so refreshing from Cyprus. And the pita was so soft and fresh -- definitely worth getting with your meal. Creps with nutella were perfect deser. The interior very traditional Lebanese. Taboleuh salad I highly recommend to try. Overall, great Mediterranean food, good portions, and lots of flavor.

It's only about 7 minutes from the parks, making it the perfect lunch or dinner spot if you're craving something flavorful that won't leave you feeling heavy. Everything we ordered was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. The spinach pastry was hands down my favorite, perfectly flaky with a delicious savory filling. The potato pastry was a close second and just as satisfying. If you visit, don't skip the pastries! We also tried the steak and chicken kebab combo plate, and both were cooked perfectly. The chicken was especially tender, juicy, and seasoned beautifully. You can actually watch the meat being cooked fresh in the back, which made the whole experience feel even more authentic. I ordered the veggie plate with falafel, baba ganoush, tabbouleh, hummus, and tahini sauce, and every single item was delicious. The falafel really stood out. It had a perfectly seasoned, crispy exterior with a soft, flavorful center. Dipping it into the baba ganoush, hummus, and tahini made every bite even better. One of my favorite things was that the meal was incredibly satisfying without feeling greasy or overly heavy. It was fresh, filling, and packed with flavor, but I still felt great afterward. The staff was warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly, and the service was impressively fast. They also have a great selection of Mediterranean spices if you want to bring some of those incredible flavors home. Huge compliments to the chef and the entire team. Between the fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, generous portions, and excellent service, Zait Zataar has definitely earned a spot on my list of favorite Mediterranean restaurants. I'll absolutely be coming back!

But the "Catch Feelings" Chicken Wrap at Kareem's? It genuinely needs a emotional warning label. I ordered it thinking I was just grabbing a quick bite on the go. Big mistake. Huge. Now I'm driving down Brookhurst having a full-blown existential crisis because a wrap has better structural integrity and emotional depth than most people I've dated. First off, whoever is back there assembling these wraps isn't just making food; they are practicing architectural geometry. Most spots toss your veggies in like they're launching confetti at a parade, leaving you with one bite of pure lettuce and another of pure existential dread. Not Kareem's. Every single bite is a masterclass in balance: vibrant, bright, colorful veggies that actually crunch, perfectly seasoned and juicy protein, and a sauce so ridiculously good I'm convinced it's strictly classified under international law. It's colorful, it's mouth-watering, and yes, I absolutely caught feelings. I am now in a committed relationship with a pita-wrapped masterpiece. And can we talk about the hummus? Smooth as a smooth-talking salesperson, richer than a crypto influencer, and paired with proteins that are cooked with actual respect. If you are anywhere near 1208 S Brookhurst St, do yourself a favor and stop by. Just be prepared: you will leave addicted, you will crave it at 2 AM on a Tuesday, and you will never look at a standard wrap the same way again. 10/10, no notes, sending Kareem's my therapist bills.

The ingredients in the bowl were quite fresh though. I also had a side of garlic and wow the garlic made is veryyyy flavorful, including the hummus. I thought it was pretty good! The pita chips were also very nice as they were definitely very crispy, although, not as good if you save it as leftover, but still not bad. We also had a few pieces of falafels on the side, which they were surprisingly pretty good! It was not as fried dense ball as I thought it would be, which it actually made me enjoy or appreciate falafels more. I would definitely try the falafel instead of the chicken next time in my bowl.
