Mandi - Chicken (TikTok: @justandyvu)
Andy V.

1. The chicken dish was huge! The chicken was also juicy! 2. The spot has causal vibes! 3. There are indoor and outdoor seatings! 4. Parking lot is small! 5. Staff were friendly and timely with the order! Note: There is a single gender-neutral bathroom! Photo: Mandi - Chicken

Baba Ghanoush.  Smoky & Creamy. Comes with sliced pita bread.

Thankful for the hands that make these delicious dishes! Warm. Traditional. Made with care & love. Our first visit was excellent; our tummies full and happy. The woman who helped us was kind and pretty sure the hands that cooked our fabulous meal. So for those who are in a hurry... be patient. The wait is worth it. Their chicken mandi is the best I've tasted in the OC area. Flavorful, juicy, just.... Yum. And may I add halal too. Which is always the plus. First timer and definitely going back for more. Restaurant meal but home cooked feel. Looooove.

chicken Mandi - Chicken
Tiffany D.

Stopped by this place after seeing all the reviews. Felt a bit disappointed. When we came in, it was empty, but the wait for the food took maybe 25-30 mins long. The service was poor, we had to ask for water ourselves while waiting, and they brought out water bottles, not sure if that was an extra cost. Food presentation looked good, but it was the driest food have ever eaten. We got the Sawani mixed platter with 2 kebabs and the chicken mandi. The chicken mandi meat and the beef kebab was so dry, it was difficult to eat.

New menu! Everything I tried is so good
Bushra S.

Authentic and so good! So far everything I tried here really impressed me. The chicken is not dry and it's spicy and lemony. The lamb is WOW so tender and fresh tasting. They also have Vimto (Arab soda). The beef shawarma also so good. They have vegetarian options too! The eggplant stew is spicy and filling. Can I just say the hospitality is fabulous and so generous omg and the portions are sooo filling. You will not be disappointed. Such a great local option for Arab Middle Eastern food!

Beef Shawarma Platter
Ahmed S.

Amazing food. I have been here more than 10 times and food never disappoint. I personally like lamb kabsa, chicken mandi and beef shawarma. Service is great. Ownership changed but food taste and chef remains the same.

Food was amazing, and definitely filling. Good customer service as well! I come here after work often and food hasn't let me down yet even when trying new things

Kabsa - Lamb

Food is amazing and fresh. The service was great and the restaurant overall is clean and nice

Yala Kebab serves some of the best Mansaf I've ever had! The lamb was tender, the rice flavorful, and the jameed sauce authentic and delicious. Great service and a cozy atmosphere highly recommended

I was delighted to find this restaurant unexpectedly. The service here was warm and attentive. We were immediately addressed and cared for. All items on the menu looked delicious and it was hard to make a decision. I was happy to see that you could order sides rather than a full plate which allowed us to sample a few options. There was a lovely seating area available for us to enjoy our food. The food was tasty and I especially loved the garlic sauce.

Mansaf
Ali S.

Very nice and cozy place its very comfortable for families the staff were very friendly when it comes to food its really really really tasty i tried Mansaf it was one of the best i ate in any restaurant its like how it made in Jordan tastes fresh thank you for the service.

Pistachio baklava was divine absolutely heavenly.
Rosalind P.

Food and service were glorious. Definitely recommend this little hidden gem. Worth the drive. Nice simple place to eat.

Delicious grape leaves with half a lamb. I'd rather order two days in advance. It's better if you order it for me.

We got the combo shawarma plate and the 2 beef kabob plate. The rice here was the best mediterranean rice I've ever tasted, super flavorful. Service was decent. Would definitely come back again!

We moved further away, so it just slipped out of the regular rotation--but it's one of those places I've always remembered fondly and definitely missed. Happy to report it's still very good. I came in craving a shawarma combo, so I went with the chicken and lamb combo and chose cucumber-tomato salad and tzatziki for the two sides. Everything was well prepared and flavorful, just like I remembered. The portions are big, the kind where if you're not a huge eater you can easily turn one plate into two meals. Always appreciate that. Service was friendly and welcoming, and the place felt clean and well kept. It has that family-run feel, which adds to the experience. The only thing that's changed a bit over the years is the value. Prices are definitely higher than I remember, but honestly that seems to be the case everywhere these days. The generous portions help balance that out. Located in a strip mall in Westminster, it may not be flashy, but if you're looking for solid Mediterranean food, big servings, and friendly service, it still delivers. Glad I made the return visit. Definitely won't let it be so long next time.

T-Kebob is a spot that specializes in their kebobs. I had their Monterey Park location a few times…read moreand was excited to try this spot to see how the quality compares. I went here with my girlfriend at around 7:00 pm on a weekday and we needed to wait before we could get a seat. While there was a lot of seating, there seemed to not be enough staff to manage a new section of the store. Once we got seated, we browsed their ordering sheet. After giving the staff the sheet, it took about 10 minutes to get all of our skewers. Prior to the skewers, the sides are given out first. For skewers, we got the marinated beef, beef and pineapple, and pork belly. We also got an order of the cold noodle, which ended up pairing well with the skewers. The quality of the skewers is equivalent to the Monterey park location! I'll probably skip out on the beef and pineapple one for a future visit and lean towards the other flavors. The service was okay. They seemed to be understaffed at the time so we needed to find the staff to ask additional sides and the check; they didn't check up on us.

The grill bases for each table are much wider than most places, so leg room is limited. The only thing that wasn't the best was the temperature in the restaurant. It was a tad too hot for having the air on. Overall I would love to give a 4.5 for this place! 100% would recommend.

For the sandwich, they slice it in 2/2, and then fill it with all of the meat in my case beef or you can do beef and chicken or just chicken. Ask for a sample to try and see which one you like. They also do a falafel, however, I found it to be a little bit on the dry side but flavorful. They also do a wrap or simply a plate. They also have some specials where they put the meats and sauces over french fries. That seems to be very popular. It's actually kind of like a Chipotle in the way that you order at the counter and pick which ingredients you want. If you like sweets, they have homemade delicious rice pudding among other Turkish treats. Some of these items sell out early so show up right before lunch to have the best selection. This is a go-to place for me at least every two or three weeks and never disappoints! They are extremely consistent and they have great service with friendly staff.
