Little Arabia, Lebanese Bakery And Cuisine

I recently ordered catering for a special event, and I am beyond impressed! From start to finish, the experience was flawless. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Ehab’s team went above and beyond to accommodate, and everything arrived on time, hot, and ready to serve. The service was friendly and professional, making the entire process stress-free. My guests couldn't stop raving about the food! I will definitely be using this catering service again for future events. Highly recommend!

This place is a hidden gem! In the Arabic neighborhood of Anaheim, there are so many hookah/tea spots and this place definitely stands out. They have a massive covered outdoor seating patio with many heat lamps where you can sit in comfort and have a meal and tea enjoying the Arabic ambiance. Most importantly the service and hospitality here is amazing! Linda, the server, gave me a free pistachio milkshake to try out even tho we just ordered a tea and gave us a lot of great recommendations just like we were a part of their family. Servers are attentive and came to refill our hookah multiple times. The prices are very reasonable and they open very late. Definitely do not miss out on this spot, this will be my go to spot in the future. Highly recommend if you’re in Anaheim!

Today I went here and tried their combo plate to get a little sample of some of the main grilled meats they had here. The hummus was smooth and creamy. The salad was very bright, tangy and fresh to cut through any heaviness of the meal. The rice was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. All three of the meats were very flavorful and I love the dipping sauces to go with them. I do wish the lamb was a bit more tender and juicy. Overall, a solid spot with good service to get some Lebanese food in the Anaheim area.

Delicious and authentic Lebanese breakfast that truly felt like home! The staff was incredibly friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

I love this place for their incredible food and value for the money. Their menu is diverse and they offer incredible Lebanese breakfast and manakesh freshly baked and pita bread as well which is irresistible. Moreover, their grilled meats and shawarma are legit and their portions are huge. I forgot how good this place is until I recently stoped by. Will go back soon!

Little Arabia Restaurant is hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! From the moment you step through the doors, you’re greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that transports you straight to the heart of the Middle East. The food is absolutely phenomenal. Every dish is a masterpiece, packed with rich, authentic flavors that show the chefs’ dedication to quality and tradition. The mixed grill plate were perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, the pastry was fluffy inside outside, and the variety of mezze dishes like baba ghanoush and tabbouleh were fresh and bursting with flavor. Don’t even get me started on the freshly baked bread—soft, warm, and perfect for scooping up every last bit of the creamy hummus! The service was equally outstanding. The staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being intrusive. They took the time to explain the menu and even made excellent recommendations for first-timers like myself. It’s clear they take great pride in providing not just a meal, but an unforgettable experience. The ambiance is another highlight—beautifully decorated with traditional touches that create a cozy yet vibrant setting. Whether you’re dining with family, on a date, or just grabbing a quick bite, the vibe here is perfect. Little Arabia is a true gem, and I can’t recommend it enough. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again, not just for the amazing food but for the warmth and hospitality as well. If you’re looking for an authentic Middle Eastern culinary adventure, look no further—you’ve found it! Lebanese cuisine all the way

Amazing and authentic Arabic food, loved the service and the food! Must try the Zataar cheese and veggie wrap! Sooo good 👍🏽 Also try the Foul Modamas

Not bad overall. Steak Shawarma only available Saturday and Sunday is kind of strange, and why is a Lebanese joint dabbling in pizza making? No, just no!

Amazing middle eastern breakfast, forget IHOP when you have this place. We drive all the way down from the Bay Area just to eat and this is one of our favorite stops.

This is a Lebanese restaurant/ bakery that is tucked away in the corner and the sign is covered by the large tent they have outside for seating. Upon entering we were not greeted but eventually someone came over and informed us that there were two places to order: one for desserts and one for food. It was a little confusing and not your standard greeted, sat, and menus dining experience. This felt more like a hybrid between ordering at a register. We ordered and then sat down at our table. The lady that helped us after the guy was wayyy more informative and helpful. DRINKS: Turkish Coffee: This is definitely different from any other coffee I have had before. It has almost like a cardamom smell but the taste is surprisingly smooth and good eith the sugar. FOOD: Cheese Sticks: This was really good. the phylo dough was nice and crunchy and the cheese inside is delicious! I actually prefer this over mozzarella sticks haha. This is light and goes well with the lemon and tomato as well. Chicken Shawarma: Wow this was great! The chicken was sooo juicy and the wrap was great. The garlic sauce was also amazing! Combo Plate: This is HUGE! Two people can eat from this easily! The Hummus is soo clean, not even close to being heavy. The salad was delicious and refreshing! The rice cooked perfectly with a flavorful amount of spices! Lamb: This was juicy and delicious! Beef: Also juicy and delicious! Chicken: Juicy and Delicious! This plate overall was amazing! Pita: Delicious and hit the spot! OVERALL: This place delivers on flavor and portions. The price is amazing and the food is definitely worth even going out of your way for. The service is a solid 3.5, but mainly because they leave you to it and dont check in on you as much as you may be used to in other restaurants but I honestly did not mind it. They came to check on us after they dropped off each dish and our drinks were always full. I give this place an easy 4/5.

Came to have lunch here today with my mom and daughter. We ordered 3 cheese boats, lentil soup, 1 chicken & cheese pizza, and 1 zaatar & cheese pizza. We shared a Ceylon teapot to drink. One of my favorite restaurants in OC and go to spot for Lebanese food. It took us a while to get seated but once we did the service was good and prompt. It's a family friendly restaurant with open patio seating, lively Middle Eastern music playing. There's smoking on the patio so if you're not into that I would recommend indoor seating. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Walking in through the parking lot, I felt like I was in Lebanon. The smells, the music, the people, and the food were amazing. There were twelve of us in our party, and our service was excellent. We were able to pay for each of our meals separately. We were not charged an automatic 20% tip, but I left more than 20% because our server was outstanding. The ambiance was a little loud, but worth the experience. There is a patio where Hooka is offered. There is a section for making crapes, which is fun to watch. I wish I had the appetite to try one, but I'll have to go back another time. I was a little sad because we were not able to order the pastries from the menu such as the pizza type breads because that part of the restaurant was not open. I'm not sure why some items are not served later in the day, but that is why I didn't give the restaurant 5/5 STAR rating. The plates are huge!!!!!!! I suggest sharing if possible. The food and flavors were outstanding. What a treat!

We have been coming to little Arabia for years and every time we come we yearn for more.. their food is delicious.. their vibe is warm, inviting.. takes me back to Middle East .. and to top it all the service.. special mention to Linda who goes above and beyond.. since we like to have our food served in family style instead of individual plates where we can share and enjoy.. she makes sure it's served as requested.. when ever we are in mood of authentic Middle Eastern cuisine we always goto Little Arabia..

TLDR: Big plates and big flavor. I have a hard time telling middle eastern food apart from one another, but what I can differentiate is the taste. The taste of the food's taste is unique compared to Persian, Armenian, or any restaurant of a similar type. Combo Plate: Rice, hummus, chicken, beef, lamb, and a salad. They're all fresh, good, and packed with flavors. If I were to rank the proteins, the lamb is the best and the chicken is last. The rice is soft, the hummus is better than most, and the salad is fresh. I think this plate is a bang for the buck. Service: Pretty good. They kept my water topped up and everyone was nice. Ambiance: Outdoor sitting with an indoor option. The place also has a shisha service so it might be a turnoff for some.

Little Arabia Lebanese Bakery & Cuisine: Where hummus and labne dreams come true! This cozy spot has a laid-back vibe that's perfect for savoring authentic Middle Eastern flavors. Their hummus and labne were so good, I almost licked the plate clean. While it might be a bit on the pricier side, the quality of the ingredients is definitely worth it. If you're craving a taste of the Middle East, Little Arabia is a must-visit.

Food service and ambiance were all amazing ! Thank you Jessica for taking amazing care of us. Love the food and hookah. We will definitely be coming back.

Super tasty food and friendly staff. Thanks to Linda for making us feel like family and sharing her dessert from the next door bakery. The lamb shoulder (1/2 order) or was tender and juicy. The of the family either ate shawarma or kebabs. everyone was stuffed and happy. We did dine outdoors, so be prepared for the setting sun to be little strong, and if you are not a fan of hooka, you might opt to sit inside.

Delicious food! Every plate was fresh and deliciously flavorful. The beef kabob plate was a generous portion and the beef itself was very high quality. No aftertaste and very tender. Excellent quality! The hummus plate was so good! You can tell it's made from scratch and not from the can as some Middle Eastern restaurants tend to use. The cheese rolls were hot and crispy. The fattoush salad was also a very large size. I would definitely come back when I'm in the area (usually during a Disneyland trip)! They have lots of indoor and outdoor seating and a large parking lot to boot. Causal restaurant with a moody atmosphere. Service was friendly and attentive as well! 10/10 if you're looking for fresh and high quality middle eastern food!

We come here quite often for the Choco Fruit crepes, and decided to try out the food finally. It didn't disappoint! The portions were good and selection of dishes were great. A couple things we wanted were out though and service was a tad bit slow, but it wasn't a huge deal to us

do you want amazing food drinks, atmosphere and desserts? Not only are they amazing from a customer service standpoint. I had to pause and write this review after my first bite. Amazing Also a hookah bar Look no further

The food is Amazing and the ambiance is folklore feeling like back home. Thank you for serving all 16 people on the table and 1 waitress did amazing job

Food was good but service needs some work. The servers ignored our table while making conversation with an arabic speaking table. Would not go again

Long overdue review. This has been our go to place for some middle eastern food for awhile now. We usually order the tawook plate with side of fatoush salad, and zaatar pie. Everything taste fresh & healthy, and they give good portion. A little pricey but worth the food quality.

Ordered the chicken sandwich wrap. The taste is ok, had tasted some better one at different place. The environment is comfortable and spacious. Can sit comfortably and relax. Table, floor and everywhere looks clean. Service is good also. I saw other patron ordered humus and those humus looks good.

Walking in, you are greeted by a lovely array of desserts that are difficult to find elsewhere in Southern California. I am a huge lover of chocolate, especially warmed (hot fudge, fondue, etc) and am frustrated that this is not offered at more locations. I love that Little Arabia offers a space for people to lounge/hang out in addition to simply eating. Their dessert lounge menu is exquisite - everything you could dream up and more. The service at the dessert bar was lovely. The restaurant service was also friendly, warm, and inviting. We placed our order and were advised to order something else because it would be fresher. I think that they may not have had what we ordered available and would have preferred to have been told this transparently rather than to have been convinced that the other item would be better. Our server initially told us that the chef wanted us to order a particular menu item and then later told us that she thought it was tastier than what we had ordered. I loved the pride that they take in presentation and service here. There is quite a bit of seating and an overall well-kept, clean interior. The tray that our food was served upon was a lovely touch to our experience. The food itself was pretty good. It is not the best in Anaheim, but I would head over if choosing a place to both eat and lounge. The kafta was not as delicious as it is at other places like Forn Al Hara or Al Amir Bakery but it was not bad. The zaatar with vegetables wrap was tasty but a bit dry so I am not sure if I would order it again. The food here also seemed to get cold oddly quickly.

The restaurant from all aspects on brookhurst street. I called in spoke to server she invited us .this place I loved it the service is exceptional among all Arabic restaurant food is great hot fresh pita bread and my favorite part the ice cold water no one serves like this restaurant every one pushes you to buy bottles water which is disturbing because it is out of greed they want extra pennies for 10 cents bottles of water selling for 2 bucks. Linda the server was great I like this restaurant because they are doing business the right way proving the best food with great service. I highly recommend this place

Every time I come to this restaurant service is always top-tier. The food is great and amazing. Never had a bad experience in this restaurant recommended to anyone that's looking for Mediterranean food in the city of Anaheim the staff are great Linda was the one that helped us, I love it thank you guys.

The food quality here was very nice. I had a beef plate and it was seasoned very well. My favorite was the rice, nice nutty taste to it. I'm glad beef wasn't stinky or had a smell contamination with the lamb. My uncle and brother loved the lamb plate, wasn't too stinky according to them. Will try their dessert section someday, looks so good. The people were very nice, got an order wrong but oh well very busy. Would come back

The food is so good, even the waffles are so delicious. The salad is fresh. The service could improve.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place before! Went to the Iftar buffet yesterday. We'll worth the $34.99 price tag for adults. It was well over my expectations. We've been here before and all the bakery items are excellent. The kababs and rice are good but the spinach pies(triangle), the zaatar and cheese pies(not the triangle but the open round pizza looking one) are 10/10 good and I'm picky. If you come here on a normal day get everything that comes out of that oven and tea with mint. That's all. It'll be the best meal.

Some of the best Mediterranean food I ever had big servings, delicious and healthy fresh baked flatbread highly recommend for big parties and healthy eating options

I love Brookhurst St! Within one mile you can find some of the most delicious and authentic Arabic food. From breakfast to dinner to delicious bakery items, you really can't go wrong. Little Arabia though is strategically all of your main courses in one. This was one of the first restaurants I visited when I moved to OC and I was so happy to find freshly made cheese pies, to die for manousheh, juicy chicken kabobs and the convenience of a well made hookah delivered to my table. Their baked goods take the crown hands down! This place is a must if you're in the area.

Overall I love this place, been going there for about 5-6 years. food taste & quality was great as well as generous portions & price. Just need to work on their wobbly tables.

Great food quality and very authentic recipes. Recommend the shesh tawook plate or a shawarma if your in a hurry

This place is fantastic!! didn't want to review this place after one visit, so i can try multiple plates first, wow is all i can say. everything I've had so far from this place is excellent, the shawarma, the kabob and the Falafel. Simply excellent. The service is also friendly and nice. The place is calm and clean as well. A hidden gem in Anahiem

Great food always fresh and delicious Customer service 10/10 and tawook plate is always great

Can't ask for more! Great food, great company and hookah! And, Linda was great, amazing service. Will be back soon!

Amazing food , perfect services , many varieties They have amazing shis tawouk is not available

The food never disappoints. It is always fresh and tasty even when it is ordered to-go. Their chicken tawook plate is my favorite, along with their cheese boats. Their staff is always friendly and the ambiance is very welcoming.

Manakish (Arabic: مناقيش, romanized: manāqīsh), or in singular form man'ousheh, or other spellings, is a popular Levantine food[1] consisting of dough topped with thyme, cheese, or ground meat. Similar to a pizza, it can be sliced or folded, and it can be served either for breakfast or lunch.

According to one of my Lebanese friends, this is a very authentic experience when it comes to Lebanese dining. Being sat outside under a tarp by a curb on plastic tables and chairs is as real as it gets. They have all the Lebanese food that you will find. Sharing is caring so a bunch of appetizers and entrees were ordered to share. From the cheese sticks to the the spice potato, lahme baajeen (flat bread) and the beef kabob plate, it was all delicious. The portions are pretty good and the kabob plate comes with salad, hummus and rice. Unfortunately the shawarmas are only served on weekends so I missed that by a few days. They do have inside seating as well and they share space inside with a separate vendor where they sell delicious desserts called Choco Fruit. A fun experience where you can enjoy everything from tea, snacks, dinner, desserts and hookah.

This is the best Lebanese restaurant I've had in 16 years in Socal. I'm from Lebanon and it's very hard to find actual, authentic, delicious Lebanese food. The Kafta here is the best you will find. I've been looking for this quality of Kafta for 16 years and haven't found it until I ate here. Linda was wonderful and generous and hospitable. Please never change the quality here.

This hole-in-the-wall restaurant makes delicious tasting and looking food. I'm so glad I accidentally found this place. For the price, the portion is incredible. I can normally clean up my plate. I was starving this evening, and I barely made a dent on my food. Unless you haven't eaten for days, be prepared to bring home leftovers. It's also a bakery that makes yummy looking crepes. It reminds me of France a little bit. I think I'm going to try a crepe the next time I come here. Anyway, I give this place a five-star for their good food and decent service, but especially, for the yummy food. I can't wait to come back to try their Kafta dish. It looks super tasty.

This place is iconic when it comes to Lebanese cuisine. If you are looking for authentic Lebanese food, don't look any further. Here is your place!! Great service too, specially Linda was very courteous and welcoming.

drove 45 mins to visit this place & was treated with the most absolute disrespectful attitude I have ever experienced. I was sitting waiting for 30 mins & no one wanted to take my order however the two servers just kept looking over me without acknowledging me I then made the decision of leaving with an empty stomach. Terrible Service, can't say much about the food since I didn't even bother to wait anymore longer

Love this restaurant! Food is amazing and service was perfect. Linda was our server and she was very nice and welcoming and made us feel comfortable.

We were a group of 6peopke . We went there after the vigil for Lebanon. Everything we ordered was delicious. The place brings back memories of Lebanon, the smells, crowds, sounds. Will be back for sure.

I go here every year for the Ramadan buffet, it's so good!!!! Everyone needs to try all of the baked goods, and their lamb is superb. I am always in shock how they make sooo many dishes at once and they all always taste so great. The servers are very kind and accommodating. Videos are filmed after the meal- you can see why the baked goods are so popular!!

This place is hit and miss Sometimes they have great food sometimes it's so bland 1-Tabouli was a bit bitter because of chopped mint 2-Mixed grill was okayyy chicken was raw but the beef Kabab was good 3-Kebah was really good 4- cheese rolls were really bad 5- fatush was delicious 6- beef hummus was super good the last time I ordered but today the beef was chewy 7- it's on the pricer side of Anaheim 8- it's really hard to get the waitress attention I had to chase them Overall it's okayyyy

Very food lebanese restaurant with delicious food. Very large portions. Authentic lebanese food.

By far one of my favorite, first and won't be the last time can't wait to dine in. Combo plate and the Chicken Shawarma Sandwich are nothing but . Hands down from the service to the presentation to the quality of the food and flavor.

Shout out to Linda. She was amazing. She will do her best to accommodate you. The food was good and the service was great! I will definitely come back.

I have been going to this place for over 3 years and never been disappointed! The food is delicious, their staff is very friendly and their service is beyond your expectations. They have an outside seating in case you like to smoke. I totally recommend this place especially during Ramadan when they have the open buffet.

Food was great but the bread turn in to Rock with in seconds, a friendly observation a warm welcome would be appreciated . The chicken was well cook and the salad was amazing . The coffee was on point . Respectfully

Amazing! Linda was phenomenal! I'm coming back every week! I ordered the lamb special and it was soooo good! The portions were incredible, the taste was excellent, and the service was great!

Food was delicious and extremely flavorful. Staff was very friendly. Only downside was that water was by the bottle and $2.50 each. Kind of regretting spending $10 for 4 bottles of water. But other than that, high recommend!

Waited 30 minutes for 3 sandwiches, good food but waited to long and was shorted a sandwich
