    Sweet Lady P.

    We went to an event that Waffa's catered and we loved the meal. We decided to come for our Mother's Day. We knew they had very few tables so I called ahead. From start to finish, every bite was delicious. So fresh and very authentic. If I could give 20 stars, I would. We were able to try new dishes. The door was constantly opening from customers picking up orders. We will be back! Thanks Tony & Waffa!

    Waffa's Kitchen catered my mother's celebration of life today and they did an amazing job. The food was absolutely delicious and displayed beautifully for our guests. Everyone raved about how tasty it was. And THE BEST baklava they've ever had. It was wonderful to have a wide selection of items for everyone to enjoy. Everyone from Waffa's was a delight to work with. I will definitely be enjoying their food soon!

    We were craving Mediterranean cuisine and we were close to waffa's Kitchen. It has been a while since we went there. The place was clean and organized. They rearranged the tables which were better than before We ordered the following to go; -Kafta Kebab: 4.5/5 Mixed ground beef, parsley, onion & Mediterranean spices, rice. It comes with green salad, pickles and onions and pita bread. The Kafta were very juicy and tender. The salad was sour. - Roasted Vegetable Medley: 4.5/5 Zucchini, eggplants, tomato, peppers, onions, rice and pita bread. The vegetables were very savory and well seasoned. - Sfiha (meat pie)     The Highlit 5/5 Homemade dough stuffed with mixture of pine nuts, ground beef, onion, pomegranate molasses & spices -Baklava  (6 pieces)  5/5 It was perfect! Not to sweet and filled with nuts. The only thing that I checked on Yelp and it said one free baklava but the lady told me that the deal was gone years ago. I totally understood, and I said it was okay since I was planning to buy 6 pieces of baklava. When I went home I read the previous reviews, many customers received the Yelp check in offer very recently. Anyway, the food was delicious and the baklava was outstanding. It's a nice mediterranean restaurant in Glendora. Overall I will give it 4.5 stars.

    If you are looking for one of the best Mediterranean food in town look no further. Waffa's kitchen is so reliable and consistent with their food quality and taste. John and his team delivered, set up and served the food for our Mercy meal. It was AAAmazing!!! Food GALORE!! They drove to Anaheim from Glendora. Just can't thank them enough for their service, DELICIOUS food and generous portions. Every person made the same comment, "wow this food is Soo delicious, who did you cater from?" I am one who is always reluctant to ever cater food. The BEST decision I ever made!! Don't think twice...Waffa's Kitchen is the caterer you want to use Thank you John

    My daughter loves Mediterranean food, so I chose Waffa's to cater for her bridal shower. I had scheduled a taste test appointment and was greeted by Tony. He had freshly made appetizers and a plate ready for me to try. The food was delicious and tasted so fresh! The day of the bridal shower, Tony made sure he was available to deliver the food and make sure the upgraded set up was all up to par. They even provided printed cards which listed the items/ingredients being served. He told me all their food is taste treated prior to delivery. The set up was perfect and the service was top notch. All our guests raved about how delicious the food was. The day after the shower, Tony took the time to call me to ask how everything went. Not many caterers do that! I highly recommend Waffa's Kitchen for your next event. They will not disappoint. Thank you Tony and your team for a job well done! We will be using your catering service again in the future!

    There were about 6 pieces of burnt/charred beef in the beef plate.

    Why is there no bathroom?

    Depending on building age and size, many restaurants are exempt. http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140AB2644

    Is the owner waffa no longer there?

    Waffa is still Here and Surrounded by a seasoned team that has trained with her for a long time thus making the whole operation more capable and resilient and not just relying on one person.

    OPEN UNTIL 11PM!!! If you come home late and don't know what…read moreto do but also don't want to get in n out or some fast food... THIS IS THE SPOT! The employee (owner maybe?) who helped us explained thoroughly about the menu and gave us suggestions. We ended up getting chicken shawarma combo and beef shawarma combo because we were hungry but the portion is humongous!!! This place has a shred style of meat (like al pastor in taco stand) and that's what I got but they should have the grilled meat on a sword looking stainless tool. The beef had the slight lamb-ish flavor which I like and the garlic spread wasn't too strong so I could smother everywhere. The salad was also very very good. I want to learn how to make the dressing. It was insanely good. The restaurant has a small eat in space. 3-4 two persons tables. We took our foods home but if you were to eat inside your food will be served on a wooden tray. I'll be coming back for their Borek and sandwich.

    TLDR: 57 minutes from order to actually getting food, kabobs were completely overdone, order was…read moreforgotten and 3 orders after us already picked up. Couple ordered right before us finished eating and left before we even saw them working on our order. We have been coming to Damascquino for a few years now. As they have been one of the few places that opened late to midnight since COVID. I've been here enough times to have tried everything on their menu including all versions of their fries, broasted chicken mean, all the skewer and sides and have never been disappointed...until this last trip. We arrived around 6pm right around dinner service so obviously some wait is expected. There was 3 others that was in front of in line placing their orders. The person manning the counter seems to be newer and unfamiliar, we have never seen him before. It took around 20 minutes for him to take the 3 sets of orders in front of us and ours as well. At this point we got our receipt 6:26pm. Dinner service so we expect about 30 minutes of waiting or so, had a chat with one other person that was waiting for his order. Then starting to see one after another get their order. 3 more come in to place their order after us. The couple that ordered right before us is eating in and sat down at one of the tables inside. They get their order of 2 sandwiches and starts eating. Normally this place starts scooping the rice and sides for the next order to be fulfilled as those are prepared in advance, so as soon as the kabobs are done they can finish packing up and complete the order. We see multiple boxes on the counter waiting for the meat so we expect they were working on our order. The order behind us picks up their order. The next one after picked up their order. The 2 ladies that ordered last sat down and was served ....and no boxes were on the the counter indicating they were working on another order. At this point we are about 40 minutes in, so we walk in asking about ours. The guy turns at looks at the grill, then just says 15 minutes. Once we turned around he then starts to put our sides together completely forgetting our order. At this point we are 45 minutes in waiting, and it had better be the best kabobs we ever had. Finally they call us. 7:23pm. 57 minutes since we were rung up. On top of the lining up we are now about 80 minutes since we arrived. We are obviously frustrated but hey since they didn't have any more orders to work on our kabobs should be perfectly grilled right? COMPLETELY OVERCOOKED. It was chewy, dry, and any resemblance of flavor has been cooked to crap. And they just had the excuse of sorry it was dinner time we were busy, treating as if we are idiots and can't obviously tell they forgot our order. Unfortunately I doubt we will be returning again. For the staff: it's ok if it took a while during dinner service. We get it. It's ok if our order slipped thru the cracks. It happens. But what is absolutely not acceptable is lying about it AND completely screw the cooking up considering you have no more active orders besides ours. We would have been okay if you acknowledged the error and cooked our kabobs to perfection, maybe offer us a drink for the wait time as it barely costs you anything. You see 2 guys standing right outside of your store and have completely zero awareness of MAYBE we might still be waiting for our order?

    Frequent flyer at Abu Omar's back to file a report on the brand new, just-in-time for the New Year…read moreentree that adorns their menu like a medallion- Their wickedly good, new Brisket Shawarma Wrap. Disclosure: I've enjoyed Mediterranean cuisine ever since I attended elementary school on the UCLA campus in the early '80s and would get after-school Falafels or Shawarma wraps at the eponymous Falafel King in Westwood Village. Suitably armed with 40-pls yrs of dining experience amid the vast Syrian/Lebanese diaspora, what's a common complaint that grouchy naysayers may wanna level at Mediterranean fare? "Ohh, but all they serve are chicken/beef shawarma, falafel balls and lamb gyros! Not enough varieties of protein!!" [I've fielded this complaint from my grown kids for a few years now] Well- Leave it to your enterprising and innovative Uncle Omar to solve that complaint!!! These new brisket wraps are a wondrous hybrid of Mediterranean housing (the flaky but firm Shrek wrap) and All American (B-R-I-S-K-E-T!!) filling. The caliber of the brisket is top notch. Pull apart tendrils of low and slow cooked beef, sumptuously moist but not overly wet. Well seasoned but not deluged in 'cue sauce that obscures the unctuous beefy flavor... Commingle the brisket, lovingly slow cooked for sixteen hours, with diced onions, succulent tomatoes, Persian pickles and their strong-as-a-Rocky-Balboa haymaker garlic sauce...and you've got yourself a crave-worthy, eminently edible new addition to the Family! The ambiance at Abu Omar remains nonpareil. Luminously clean prep area openly visible so the OCDs among us can see their meal lovingly prepared; Sunburnt burgundy brick walls offset by striking Route 66 imagery; Floors so clean you COULD probably get away w/ the "5 second its still edible" rule we usta summon as kids. The service etiquette of Owner Wissam Shloul and his small but devoted staff is exemplary. Great food, meticulously fabricated while you wait. Pro Tip- Need your Mediterranean fix late at night? Fuggetabout "banker's hours," Abu Omar keeps hospital or casino hours! They're open til 1am, nightly. My meal was $19.01 with taxes.
