I've tried Mediterranean food in several cities across Orange County, the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, and Glendale, and this place is easily in my top five. We ordered the gyro sandwich, which was packed with flavor and featured tender, perfectly seasoned meat. We also tried the filet mignon and chicken kabob, both grilled to perfection. It's not easy to find places that consistently serve tender, well-cooked chicken and beef, but this restaurant definitely knows what it's doing. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and expertly prepared. I would highly recommend it and will definitely be coming back.

I truly love this little mom and pop spot in North Pas. The service is always quick and friendly. The food is piping hot, fresh and plentiful. My favorite go to plate is the beef lule kebab. The chicken lule kebab is just as good too. The seasoning is on point and the meat is fresh and juicy. The plate is $22 and it comes with 4 pieces of lule piled on top of some basmati rice and 2 sides of your choice. I usually get the house made hummus and a side salad. It's a good amount of food. I will keep on coming back to try some other meats on the menu including their lamb, beef filet mignon and maybe the daily special branzino fish.

Abu kebab This is my first time trying a mom and popβs Mediterranean spot. So letβs see if theyβre pretty good eh or ew. Theyβre family owned and operated and had a bunch of yummy sounding options. I got their falafel, dolmas, cheese and meat boreg, chicken shawarma wrap, filet mignon and chicken thigh combo plate, and baklava to try. This was my first time ever trying falafels, dolmas, and boregs and wow. The falafel had a Fun crunchy outside with a crumbly yet not dry inside and full of aromatic flavors. The dolmas were really good too. Moist and herby. The boregs kinda reminded me of empanadas in both flavors and textures from the crisp fried outer pastry to savory fillings. The chicken shawarma wrap was stuffed with tender marinated chicken, fries, a bit of tomato and pepper and schmearing of creamy garlicy spread, and came with a side of refreshing cucumber yogurt salad. The best part was when that pita soaked up all the other juices of the chicken to make it even more flavorful. The meats in the combo plate had a nice char, were super savory, flavorful, well seasoned but were a bit overcooked and dry. But thatβs ok cuz thatβs where the super flavorful dips came in. There was

I visited Abu-Kabab for the first time and was truly impressed! I ordered the grilled chicken dish β it was absolutely delicious. The meat was incredibly tender, literally melting in my mouth. Paired with flavorful rice and a fresh salad, it was a perfect combination. The taste was outstanding and well-balanced. Thereβs also a large parking lot, which makes the visit very convenient. Iβll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to everyone!
