The food here is excellent! There are plenty of tables both indoors and outdoors, and the place is always clean — perfect for both casual and occasional dining. Their kebabs and wraps are delicious. I especially love the shrimp and chicken kebabs and the falafel wrap. Highly recommend!
Great restaurant! Located in downtown Brea. There's plenty of parking in near by structures. They have nice ambience indoor and outdoor patios. They're able to accommodate larger parties. The host and staff are welcoming and friendly. We chose to sit in the patio since it was gorgeous day. The food is delicious. We ordered the lamb flat bread and baba ganoush dip as appetizers. Also ordered the lamb chops which were very tender and juicy came with two sides I chose the artichoke and mushrooms. The lamb kabob was also yummy. It also came with two sides. The Moussaka is also very yummy. Prices and portions are reasonable.
I have ordered three kebabs (chicken, beef, and lamb) and lamb chops 5pcs. No word needs to say. Just order lamb chops! ($28) They give you 2 sides for each dish. Mushroom, fries, hummus, and salads... it wad all good. And lamb burger, its good but you can taste lamb meat little more strong than lamb chops.
Sitting outside or inside is a good ambiance. But with this good ambiance comes an average food experience. Ordered the burger but it was dry, 4.3/10. Ordered the 2 kebob plate with chicken and shrimp, rice and hummus. Looks can be deceiving. The chicken was dry, the shrimp was without flavor but they did brush some sauce on it so there's that. The rice was...rice and the hummus was there. Nothing stood out and morning was a hit. 6.7/10. The staff was nice, server did ok, a little slow considering how slow the location was that day but overall good. The location was clean, the bathroom clean. I wouldn't make this my first place to go to for Mediterranean food but out of convenience I could see myself coming back. Overall, 5.9/10
I come here about twice a month and I always love it! The service is always absolutely wonderful. The manager does have a very pretentious attitude, but the actual staff is absolutely wonderful. The food is delicious. Doesn’t matter what you get! The steak kabobs, lamb chomps, soup, salads, pizza flatbreads, the octopus, the hummus, everything is so delicious! My favorite dessert is the Greek yogurt. But quite frankly, whatever you order, you won’t be disappointed. However, I would suggest to avoid ordering to take out as some items do not travel very well.
