    Hair in Chicken Kabob Skewer

    I got a chicken kabob plate today. Usually, I love this place but unfortunately, I found a little hair in the first chicken I went to eat.

    Chicken and more chicken

    Every time a come here it's a great experience , the food is always fresh chicken always juicy and they don't skimp with sauces and customer service is always great

    This place is clean and I mean spotless clean, they do a really good job of keeping the restaurant clean. The food I love their sides and for me the best part of the meal is the garlic sauce, I could literally eat that stuff out of the container it's so good. As for the chicken itself, there was nothing wrong with it, it's moist, juicy, and healthy. But the thing about their chicken is that imo, if I were to go to Costco, buy the $5 chicken, put them side by side and did a taste test, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference, so I would definitely come back for the sides but I'm gonna buy 2-3 chickens at Costco to enjoy the meal.

    Combo Kabob Plate
    Dan P.

    Combo plate w shish + lule kebabs + rice, cucumber salad, hummus - lule kebab tasted like typical ground beef, fairly standard in flavor and is a bit dry. the shish kebab was incredibly tender with a perfect hint of smokiness from the grill - would highly recommend! Rice fluffy and savory, cucumber salad added a fresh tang, hummus creamy. Tri-tip shawarma plate w rice, tzatziki, mutabbal - meat was a bit dry and chewy. garlic sauce was a little greasy, but luckily the tzatziki came through as the perfect balance, adding coolness and a refreshing tang. the mutabbal was the best I've ever had - not overly sour and had a deep, smoky richness that elevated the entire plate. Service quick and friendly. Easy and free parking. Lots of table and seating inside, perfect spot for healthy takeouts or lunch/dinner!

    We went to eat at your zankou location on beach blvd in Huntington Beach on 02/25/2026 at 3:43PM and tried to use a paper gift card for $20 which was given to me as a gift. Unfortunately there was a rude employee by the name of Frank with glasses who refused to honour it. He claimed that it had to be like a credit card. My card number is 5235233202434323 it was a paper one with a QR code. I end up paying for the food which was $22.60. Can someone from your company explain to me what is the process. It was a bad service and inconvenient. If the paper card is NOT valid please let me know how can I fix it. Your upper management need to have a conversation with frank regarding his attitude and poor service. Sincerely Malek Erem

    The quality of the food was not the best. The meat was chewy, the taste of the food was just not there. The rice was a lil smushed. I could not even finish the food.

    love zankhou! it's hard to find quality and fresh beef shawerma and this place GETS IT! I also love their roasted chicken. Highly recommend for a quick healthy bite of authentic middle eastern cuisine

    Unlike the Anaheim location, this place is very clean. Nice friendly service too. But the food was not as good as the Anaheim location. The meat was dry and so was the rice.

    The restaurant was overall very clean and the food was extremely hot and fresh. The workers were very kind and prompt in their service. The cashier did let us know it would be about a ten to fifteen minute wait which was great as we knew what we were getting into; the kind cashier and cooks are top-notch and make this place truly stand out.

    Does the garden salad container that comes with the whole chicken combo come with any salad dressing ? Mine had nothing.

    You should have received salad dressing at least on the side. Make sure you ask for it and check the bag when you pick up to go orders.

    Is the food halal?

    Only their Anaheim location serves certified Halal. They have a certificate that's framed for public reference as well there!

    Are you guys open?

    They are currently open 10 AM - 10 PM 7 days a week.

    When are you opening!? I can't wait! I would eat here a couple times a week when I lived in LA! Garlic sauce!!!

    Yes I would like to know when the opening is too!!! So excited for this closer location. I hope quality is just as good as Anaheim location.

Lebanese style falafels are the best and this place nails it. I commented to my wife how beautiful the chicken had come out, the colors, little black charred corners and edges from the fire, golden reflection on the glaze. It is not cheap but worth every penny. Our server was great and we can't wait to go back. The place is so unassuming from the outside and beautiful on the inside.

We waited about 15 mins for someone to come and offer us menus or beverages but it seemed as though we had been forgotten. It felt like we were an inconvenience. My husband ended up calling over a waiter and asked if we could order as we had looked up the menu's online. Our waiter, George, was phenomenal! Super kind, apologetic and kept us updated throughout the night. He understood that we were not having the best experience, and was trying his best to make us feel comfortable and welcomed. We had a baby with us so we asked that we be seated away from any hookah, and they really honored that request and made sure nobody near us was smoking. The food was decent, well seasoned and tasty, but nothing mindblowing. Slow to arrive but it seemed like this evening in particular was just a new kind of busy for the restaurant. In any case, I think if you've got time to sit and chat and wait for food and service, you won't feel it as much, but we had a baby, and a group of hungry adults who felt every minute of the waiting. I'd probably come back on a weeknight and try it out again; hoping that we don't get forgotten about by our first waitress.

    We stopped by here on a weekday because it was one of the dog-friendly restaurants near Rosie's Dog…read moreBeach. They have multiple outside seating areas where you can sit with your doggo. Ambiance (5/5): Although we didn't sit inside, it was super cute, with classy boho vibes. The restroom was clean and well-decorated (although, not gonna lie, I don't know how I felt about the big mirror facing the toilet). The outside patio area was airy, and although right by the street, I didn't find it unpleasant. Service (3/5): It was just so-so. They sat us down quickly, gave us our menus and checked on us maybe twice. It wasn't super busy, but we had to wait to ask for things like extra plates and water for our dog. Food Overall (5/5): Food was delicious. We got the beef shawarma lunch special and got fries for the side (extra charge) and also the chicken shawarma lunch special with the hummus side. Beef Shawarma (4/5): It had a nice toasty flavor, perhaps from the spices, and the pickled veggies really complemented it. My only complaint was that I wish it had a bit more of the white sauce (maybe adding more hummus would have helped). It was also strangely a bit watery, maybe from the veggies. Overall, it was still a yummy wrap. Chicken Shawarma (5/5): The chicken shawarma tasted more balanced to me overall. I don't recall the meat being dry, although I did also slather it with a bit of hummus. I thoroughly enjoyed this wrap. Fries side (5/5): Their fries are made in house and it tastes so fresh. It was crispy on the outside yet still gooey and moist on the inside. I'm not sure if they make their own ketchup too, as it looked clumpier and tasted really fresh too. The kids gobbled this up. Hummus and pita (5/5): It came with a generous amount of both hummus and pita. The hummus was well flavored and blended, and it really complemented everything on the table. The pocket pita bread was not what I had in mind (I'm used to thicker ones), but the kids really loved it overall. Ice cream (4.5/5): We ordered two scoops from the dessert menu. They were both really thick, creamy and almost chewy like liquidized mochi. It was a very interesting texture but nonetheless a nice tasty treat on a hot day. I much preferred the vanilla bean, as the pistachio tasted and looked rather artificial (and I'm a pistachio ice cream lover). This place had so many to-go orders during the afternoon we were there. I can see why. Food is super fresh and tasty. I think we will be back the next time we are visiting.
