"Aref Shatarah and wife Magida opened Al Baraka in 2021 specializing in Palestinian dishes. Regulars tend to recommend the homestyle daily specials. Start with the sheikh el mashi, fried squash stuffed with a medley of pine nuts, peanuts and ground beef cooked in yogurt. The tender chicken and the marinated grape leaves filled with ground meat and lush verdant tabouli set Al Baraka apart in Anaheim’s already vibrant Little Arabia district." - Jenn Tanaka
