I had been craving Med food for quite some time and decided today's the day (for lunch). I placed my order (for online pickup at 11am) & ordered the chicken kabob plate & chose my two sides as rice and salad (comes with hummus as well). I must say the food was flavorful and fresh! Some of the best hummus that I've ever had! The restaurant is located in a congested strip mall with a Vons next door so parking can be tight. Upon entering, it is a small (but clean) hole in the wall with a nice dining area and decor (I loved the pics on the wall). Staff was friendly; however, I thought my order would be ready at 11am as specified online & upon entering they were technically still closed & told me it would be ready in approximately 10 minutes. Pricing is not too bad (16.99) but you get more rice than anything else (chicken kabob portions were generous). I ordered a beef kabob plate for my friend and it comes with one skewer of filet mignon). I will definitely come back again and looking forward to trying other menu items. read more

Zaytoon's Kabob - Menu - Middle Eastern Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Can't believe I only recently found this spot! Located in the Vons plaza, there's plenty of parking. Theres only has a few tables to sit at and they have plastic cups and water you can refill. The staff is very friendly! I'm so surprised at how great the prices are. I got the beef shrawma plate which comes with salad, hummus, rice, meat, and pita and it was $13.99! Wow you can't find those prices these days. The rice was so flavorful. The beef was not my favorite, but it had good flavor. I liked the salad which was cucumber and tomato. The hummus was delicious and i liked the garlic sauce that you can ask for in the side. They have a lot other items on the menu. I can't wait to come back to try their wraps! read more

Took my son here because he's a kabob fan but he ordered the chicken schawarma that comes with generous portions of chicken and rice with their pita bread paired with their aaaaamazing garlic sauce. The side of veggies are perfectly seasoned and complement the rest very nicely. Friendly family owned and really authentic food in a clean space. Highly recommend read more

I'm surprised by the average rating here. The gyro was bland, didn't have much meat, was pricy for what it is, and didn't come with sauce. It did come with pickled veggies which were just okay. read more

Im usually a kabob type of person, but man did this place change my mind. The shawarma here was moist and filled with flavor. You can't go wrong with either! Chicken was moist and the beef had a nice char on them. Honestly the best shawarma i have had and excited to return to get it again for lunch. read more

More like 4.5 stars. One of these days, Yelp is going to let us do 1/4 and 1/2 star ratings. Before you read my review, you should know this about me: 1. I'm a southern Californian born in Taiwan. 2. I've lived in north Orange County all my life minus the four years I spent in UT for college. 3. I love to eat, and refuse to eat anything I don't think taste good. REFUSE. 4. I don't mind spending money to eat well. 5. My parents owned two sandwich shops while I was growing up. I worked there as a kid, through college and beyond, so I'm a big fan of mom and pop shops. If you need a snapshot: Service - 4/5 - prompt, on it, not extremely attentive Food Quality - 5/5 Selection - 4/5 Pricing - 5/5 Parking (ease, available) - 5/5 We came by here totally by accident. It's close to Vons and one of my favorite stores, Book Off. But that's not why you want to read. We had at several dishes and have gone back at least twice for their family specials. The rice pilaf is to die for. The meats are succulent. The cucumber yogurt sauce is FANTASTIC. And folks, this family-owned business is not here to gauge your eyes out price-wise. I'm not expecting anyone to come from out of town to this place or anything like that, but c'mon down if you're hankering for Mediterranean food at reasonable prices (esp. for families and you like what they're offering for those family packages) and you're within a 10 minute drive, this is worth your while. Congratulations to another great mom and pop shop in this area. read more

A fam favorite! I love the lamb when I come in for lunch, and the fam loves the chicken kabob family platter (rice, kabob, salad, pitas, and hummus with garlic and spicy sauces). The service is always friendly and fast, we usually order, head by the Vons next door to shop real quick, then grab the food on our way back (~10 mins). There's plenty of seating as well if you plan to eat in, and the place is always a welcoming family atmosphere. 10/10 - You know you want to. :) read more

OMGEEEEEE I'm in HEAVEN!!!!!! Picked up 2 large Lentil soups and 2 rice and couldn't be happier!!! We LOVE their rice, seasoned and cooked to perfection!!! Lentil soup is like a puree- smooth & so flavorful!!!!!!! Customer service is Friendly & Personable!!!! Wish they sold Tabouleh in smaller size, too much for one person:-( read more

Came here to eat after stopping by a store in the same shopping center. Its a simple order at the counter place. Food was cooked fresh and was tasty. Chicken kabobs was cooked perfectly nice and juicy. Koufta kabob was seasoned differently than what i m used to but tasty. They left the door open and it was a nice breeze coming in. Very relaxing reminded me when I was young eating at neighborhood mom and pop restaurants growing up. Almost wanted to take a nap there afterwards. Price was cheaper than Luna Grill and Chicken Zankou. Protein was slightly less than Zankou but chicken was not spicy unlike Zankou. Definitely try it out! read more

One of my all-time favorite spots for mediterranean food. I have been coming here for so long that at one point they recognized me! The service is always so friendly and generous. One time, they gave me complimentary soup while I waited for my order. My favorites are the chicken and beef shawarma plates or cheese fries. Lots of indoor seating. Everything is delicious, authentic, and everyone should support this business! read more

Prices are ridiculous and have to pay extra for garlic paste and tzatziki. Over 31.00 for 2 Gyro wraps. Will not be back!

The food here is great. The falafel is good in a wrap or on a plate, the kebabs are juicy and flavorful, and the lamb chops are out of this world. Everything tastes fresh and homemade. The hummus and tzatziki dips hit the spot, as do the dolmas. The portions are generous. There is plenty of parking, the restaurant is clean, and the service is good: nice people. I try to patronize local eateries instead of chains. I hope Zaytoon's is here for a long time. read more

I was specifically craving a Mediterranean chicken plate so I decided to stop by here for the first time. There was plenty of parking since it was located in a big plaza, and the staff were super friendly when I arrived to order. I got the half rotisserie chicken plate, but since they didn't have a half chicken available at that time they offered two white meat quarters instead; which worked out great for me because that's my favorite part! The chicken was delicious and flavorful. It paired super well with the garlic and green chili sauce it came with. The rice was my favorite part! I love when Mediterranean restaurants serve the rice with vermicelli in it. This is definitely my new go-to spot, I'm already thinking of going back to try their chicken shawarma as I'm writing this review haha! I definitely recommend Zaytoon's! read more

I couldn't be more thrilled that I now have this place in my gourmet take-out rotation. I was craving Mediterranean food badly and was looking for some place new to me. WOW, the food is phenomenal. Everything was fresh and made to order. My filet mignon was cooked perfectly, and the rice and humus are fantastic. You can tell the chef has pride. So there's my review. read more

Their food is amazing... some might say "finger licking good!" The person that took my order was incredibly nice and the restaurant, in total, looked beautiful. 10/10 would recommend! read more

This place is really cheap with the sauce for beef kabobs when you order to go. If you don't ask for the sauce then you don't get that what she say when I call her. And then she told me to drive back there to get the sauce. WTF so you telling me I eat the beef and rice without any flavor. They can keep the sauce for themselves. Tell me what food do you eat without any sauce when your food is has no tastes. read more

We ordered the chicken and beef shawarma plate. It was a gracious amount for $15! The meat was very juicy and flavorful and the hummus was very good. The menu was simple and had a lot of options. They didn't have a few items but it was the morning, so they probably didn't make them yet. The lady at the front was relaxed and answered any question I had. The place was very clean and parking was super easy. read more

Last minute dinner craving. We've had Mediterranean food from different places, and the Humus here was pretty good, but that was it. The steak has zero flavor, and my wife's chicken was dry/ overccoked. read more

Zaytoon's Kabob - Beef Kabob Plate - Middle Eastern Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Our first time here. It's a small family owned Mediterranean restaurant located on Valleyview Blvd and Chapman Ave close to Von's supermarket. My wife was a little hungry and wanted to have some Mediterranean kebab. She ordered the beef kebab plate. The plate came in that came with hummus, salad and flat bread in a to go box. The daughter even swung by our table to check on how the food was. The beef kebabs were soft and melts in your mouth. If we are in the area next time, we would definitely come back here again. read more

We really enjoy their kabobs. Priced right and very filling, each plate comes with salad, hummus, pita and rice. The tzatziki is awesome! For me the tabbouleh was a little too lemony but that's a preference. The grape leaves are especially delicious! Recommended highly! read more

I recently had Zaytoons cater a party and it was amazing. I got rave reviews from all the guests about the food. Orer through them was so easy and i felt very taken care of. I will continue to use them from here on out. I was gueinly so impressed and happy with everything about this place! read more

The meat kabob and chicken was very dry and no flavor!!!....so sad i used to love this place!!

We picked up filet mignon, lamb and chicken kabob plates. All were very good, good portions, and tasted good. The rice was excellent. All the meats were tender. The condiments they gave with the meals were very tasty as well. The salad was a bit lackluster, as I like Clamatos in my salad. Didn't taste any. read more

Family run restaurant, very generous portions, and tasty food. We ordered the beef kebabs, beef shawarma, and gyro, we made the mistake of ordering additional rice... The portions are so big and there was so much rice we didn't need the additional rice but it was so tasty so we didn't mind it. Even with the current economy and the price going up everywhere, this is one of the more affordable restaurants to feed my family of four. read more

Best kabob spot in northwest OC. High quality and good service. Very friendly and the wait is reasonable.

Buddy picked this spot after the gym and it was a great find. He ordered the gyro plate; I got the chicken kabobs and a few dolmas. Team here is quiet but friendly. Both plates were good--he said the rice was good, not great. I subbed the rice for salad which I enjoyed. Also subbed the hummus for tzatziki which I'm happy about. It was so good. Make sure to ask for their garlic sauce--tasty! The chicken was juicy and tender; the gyro meat was less exciting but did not lack in flavor. One ask would be to add a combo plate so you can try different proteins, but it worked out for us since we were able to trade. Dolmas were tasty. read more

I come here quite a bit of times. One of the best Arabic food spots in Garden Grove. I love Chicken and Beef kebab plates they have here. SOme of the best food in the area. Nice staff and cool hang out when i can. Nothing is expensive or overpriced. What more could i ask for? read more

Excellent food and friendly service. Steak and lamb kabobs are juicy and the hummus delish! The pita is warm and soft. This is a regular spot in our rotation! read more

Went for a quick lunch and have explored many Mediterranean spots in the area. Very disappointed. The gyro meat in the wrap was decent, but pretty sure the wrap itself was a flour tortilla and it was just all very bland. no sides included for $13 was definitely not worth the price. Go elsewhere read more

Love the food here and the owners are so nice. Gave my wife and free bowls of soup while we waited for our food. Everything is delicious here. Highly recommend. read more

This is a wonderful family owned business. They specialize in Med cuisine. I love, love their rice pilaf. I usually get the chicken Kabob plate, and it is more than enough for my husband and i to share. It is small, with about 6-8 cafe style tables for 2-4. An aside note...the owner has organic fruit trees, and depending on the season makes the most wonderful homemade jams. I have bought Apricot, Strawberry and Orange Marmalade from her. read more

Very authentic food and people. Interior is like a history museum of Jerusalem, very awesome. Appreciation for all the historical places and even a 10'x8' poster on the wall of the city. Love it. Beef shawarma plate had soft rice and chomped cucumber tomato salad. Bread was heated wrapped in foil. Chili sauce and garlic paste were quality and highly appreciated to add spice and tastiness to the meal. The lemonade is not simple American style but foamy, hint of blended mint, delicious. Will be coming back! read more
