Middle Eastern Restaurants near Bellflower, CA

“Their grilled vegetables are snapping! Love their green sauce (not the Mexican one and I think it’s called chimichurri or something like that), it goes really well with the grilled chicken and vegetables we ordered. Love the hummus and yogurt, salad and the dressing. Clean and tidy. Friendly staff. The owner/chief who was with us patiently help us out with the choices for the bowl and very passionate about delivering friendly service. Definitely will visit again! Very healthy options too!Vegetarian options: Grilled vegetables, salad, hummus, corn, tomatoes and cucumber toppings, vegetarian sauce and salad dressing“

“It was recommended and was my first time trying this place. No regrets! Food - I ordered a grilled cheese bowl. It comes with 4 pieces of grilled sliced cheese, two types of seasoned rice, hummus and salad. It was a perfect size for me. Salad was crunchy, everything tasted freshly prepared and delicious! Service - I can't ask better! I received friendly, welcoming and perfect service! I'm so glad that I tried this place out. I'll definitely come back again and this place is highly recommended to everyone. There are 2 other locations as well, just to mention. It's really worth trying, if you haven't tried yet.“

“This place was amazing! Deliciously fresh food, great service, and ambiance was casual. We were treated like family by the owner and enjoyed hearing his story of how he opened up the restaurant. We will definitely come back when we visit La Mirada again.“

“1st time here with my fiance, can I say excellent food and excellent service. Great shareable portions!!!Meat, chicken, and lamb were super tender and flavorful.Lebanese red blend wine, and Almaza beer were both on point.Ask for Kristal she is very friendly and helpful, we are definitely coming back.“

“If you're reading reviews trying to see if this place is good just do yourself a favor and place an order. The quality of food is amazing, everything always tastes fresh and the service is excellent. I cannot recommend Pita Paradise enough.“

“I’m from San Diego headed to Beverly Hills and had to stop to charge my Tesla .my mother and I got hungry and saw this place on Google five minute walk away.The whole experience was wonderful. I was greeted by a kind, middle-aged woman and handed a menu. While I was waiting for my order to be prepared. Two little kids ran up to the man in the kitchen and asked if he could open their orange soda for them, the clip for the soda was broken off so he gave them a new one. After watching this all go down in the distance, with a smile on my face, I made eye contact with the guy behind the counter & he offered me an orange soda :).Orange soda is my favorite. Today is my birthday. He didn’t know that.Food came out pretty quick.Was delicious.Easiest five star review of my life.Thank you so much.“

“I tried this place for lunch today. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the restaurant. The menu has good variety and the prices were reasonable. I ordered a shaved beef and lamb wrap, which was delicious! The serving size was a footlong size, so I brought home half for another meal. I will definitely go back again.“

“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.“

“We made a reservation and were greeted warmly and walked to our table right on time. The server was also prompt and very sweet. The food was outstanding - we absolutely want to go back and try everything. The spicy hummus is to die for, the muttabal was rich and smoky, and the shakshoukah was accompanied with delicious sourdough so we got to try everything with both pita and excellent local bread. I had a Rose wine from Lebanon that was delicious and earthy, not overly sweet. The tahini chocolate chip cookie and pistachio baklava were exquisite. Overall a fantastic experience and they're representing the top tier delicacies of the Levant without having to travel thousands of miles!“

“MUST try FALAFEL sandwich. Perfect with thin pita, scrumptious fresh veggies & sauce. Now my favorite in SoCal. Sorry, intended to get picture but sooo good forgot..lolAzzie is amazing & explains how all is cooked fresh. Went back and bought tge lentil soup!“

“It was my first of going there for lunch with my friends . There are variety of foods you can choose such as Hummus , eggplants , grilled kebab , pizza , grilled veggies and lots of salads . All of them fresh , flavorful and tasty . Highly “

“My boyfriend and I absolutely love this place and are frequent visitors! This is one of the only places that has great tabbouleh and turkish salad! I would recommend to call ahead so you can pick up your order quick, and don't forget to ask for the yogurt sauce! It pairs amazingly well with the pita bread. Lots of room to dine in, but they also get a lot of togo orders.“

“Don't judge a book by its cover. With that being said, you can easily pass up this hole-in-the-wall Mediterranean place because, in all honesty, it doesn't look appealing from the exterior and is a little dated inside. But you will be surprised to find that their food is delicious. I had the platter which comes with all the meats and hubby had the lamb shank. He was very impressed with the tenderness of the lamb. He did not detect any gaminess or strong smell of lamb. Overall, I highly recommend this place.“

“What a gem hidden inside of a corner liquor store!Popped into here for lunch with my dad (a syrian man, born and immigrated, so he knows his arabic food).I had the chicken shish tawook plate, he had the falafel "tacos"Both items were excellent. The value was high, the service was friendly... and if I didn't mention it the food was great.Ambiance was kind of funny being in a liquor store to order, but i've had great food in all kinds of gas stations.. so why not?“

“We arrived on the late side for a Sunday night, but the gracious ladies quickly seated us and brought the menus. We all decided on the kebab plates: 1 chicken, 1 lamb, and 1 salmon! All were cooked to perfection and served quickly. We did decide to add a half order of humus, as well!“

“The beef was absolutely spectacular, portion sizes are very generous. The tables were clean and we were given everything we needed from the moment we received our food. I can't get over how amazing the fries were too, best I've ever had. Thank you to the staff and owners of this establishment for a perfect meal.“

“It was terrible. From the time we walked in it was like what are you doing here. It took them forever to bring a menu & even water it was as if they didn't want us there. Then the waitress trick us to order this meal for 2 people which cost us almost $80. which we split the bill. The manager didn't help at all because we call her to the table. We were the only black people in the place.“

“I ordered lunch from here for the team and I today and Luis- a really friendly fellow w great customer service helped place my phone order. Their work phone was not working so he called me himself and placed my big lunch order. He was so patient and made sure the order was correct before hanging up, he also gave us lots of white sauce for our order. Thank you so much for the yummy food and awesome customer service!“

“Tabouli salad varies greatly from vendor to vendor. This one at the Kabob Shop seems perfection to me! Just the right ratio of parsley, onion, grain, and lemon. Mmmm!And the chickpea salad is right next to it in perfection.Both perfect paring with the saffron chicken kabob“

“This is one of my favorite Mediterranean food spots to go to in the LA / OC area. My go to order is the chicken kebab plate with hummus and the Mediterranean salad. I always make sure to order extra garlic sauce and the red hot sauce, a must if you like spicy. The chicken here is the juiciest. I have tried different places in little Arabia in Anaheim but this place has my favorite kebab chicken. The rice is fluffy, and the salad is fresh, all a perfect combination with the juicy chicken and the savory hummus. This ambience is more of a hole in the wall, so don't expect an extravagant aesthetic. This is a great spot for family or an informal date or hang out. They have seating in the inside and at the outside. Parking is accessible too. Sometimes the wait time can get a bit long, especially during meal times, but I think it's worth the wait for really good, fresh and juicy food. You can always call and place your order too. One plus is that this is located right in front of the Cerritos mall so you could do some shopping and get food before or after that.“

“Ordering food online at Panini Kabob Grill is super easy! They have yummy dishes like Spicy Prawn Linguine and Combo Kabob, just the right size for one person. And if you pick up your order, you save $20 compared to getting it delivered by Doordash. So, let’s go enjoy some tasty Mediterranean food at Panini Kabob Grill.“

“Affordable Middle Eastern food that is delicious and tasty. They grill / cook everything you order. The portions are very generous too.They give you a humongous bread with hummus while you wait for your food. They make it from scratch so you will have it to your table straight from the traditional oval type of oven. Complimentary Salad is served too.Drinks are self serve. You get what you want in the fridge near the counter.Owner and the servers are friendly. Plenty of Parking too. Been going here for years and will continue to go back for kabob cravings.“

“Very spicy grilled jalapeno! Loved that kick to keep me awake at the office. Plenty of rice, flavorful chicken. Plenty of parking in the small parking lot due to some empty units. Food is grilled when ordered so everything is fresh.Parking: Business in this strip mall isn't good. Mostly takeout.“

“Came in today about noon ish, the owner or person working was very nice. My did take a while but that was expected as they cook everything to order. The food wash exactly what I was looking for. The chicken, rice, salad and hummus was delish!! I'll be back again“
