The food here is really good! I’ve had the falafel bowl, chicken bowl, cauliflower bowl, and chicken wrap before. They are all equally delicious! The portion sizes are big - I always end up with two meals when I order 1 bowl. I highly recommend this restaurant. The outdoor dining area is really lovely and the music sets the right ambiance.

Kareem’s is still the north county spot for falafel. Falafel burger- The falafels are so crispy, crunchy, and scrumptious. The burger bun is fluffy and the veggies taste fresh. The fries are crisp, not too oily, and not too salty. They also include the skin which I love, just like a wedge. I also ordered a Turkish coffee which is a coffee with spices. It’s not my thing but it was very fragrant and I could see it being a treat for someone. They’re closed on Mondays :( so be sure to check their schedule before heading out. I always seem to want Kareem’s on a Monday though.

This restaurant is tucked away at the back of a strip mall. It doesn't look like much when you first park in the parking lot. We actually almost turned around. If it weren't for all the great Yelp reviews we probably would have. Once you get into the patio area, you can see that this place is different from what you may have been expecting from the parking lot. Inside there's a small seating area and an order window. We ended up ordering a chicken plate and a chicken wrap. We opted to get the free cucumber infused water and go sit on the patio. The patio is very cute. Lots of shade, plants everywhere and a little fountain off to the side. You forget you're in Anaheim. The patio actually reminds me of this empanada spot in Santa Barbara that I love. It's just very chill and makes you comfortable here. The staff was very welcoming also.When they brought the food out we were caught off guard by how much food you get for the price. Everything has definitely gone up price wise out in the world but you definitely get a ton of food for what you pay here. So worth it! If I had to sum up the food in one word it would be amazing. We were blown away by the food. Everything was so flavorful and beautiful looking. I loved everything on my plate and that says a lot because I can sometimes be a picky eater. We were looking for a new go-to Mediterranean spot close to home and this place is it. Our previous favorite spot went under during the pandemic. I can't wait to come back again and try something different.The only negatives for me were that they don't have chicken shawarma or tabouli. Those are my favorites. The other negative is that we didn't love their baklava. I've tried quite a bit of it so I think I have a good gauge for what's good at this point. It wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing like the rest of their food is.Try this restaurant!! You won't be disappointed.

Had the chicken salad and fries and i just want to say i was so impressed with the presentation of the plate,every item on my plate was seasoned to perfection. Fresh salad, juicy chicken,crispy fries. Kareems keeps getting better and better. 5 thumbs up?????

Best family style authentic that tastes like home cooking. They are a small family business so they can get pretty overwhelmed with customers so be patient because it’s all fresh goodness that will not only fill your stomach but fill your soul. It’s best to hit them up off peak hours to get the best quality and attention. You’ll want to talk to the fam they’re super sweet and hospitable. ❤️

Quick and easy Middle Eastern cuisine that has a nice outdoor seating area that's tucked away on the busy streets of Brookhurst and Ball. The food was delicious but it could've been better on some dishes that we ordered (i.e. omelette). The coffee was rather weak in strength and caffeine content. A must if you're looking for a quick business lunch.

Really enjoyed the food here. The pricing for items may seem expensive at first but when you see the portions you totally understand why and will then consider it amazing value. Portions lasted me almost 3 portions worth of meals and the ingredients and flavors are top tier. We got the chicken plate and chicken platter along with falfel to go and they were all great choices. The hummus and pita and the garlic sauce were all great and fresh tasting. We ordered to go and enjoyed it at home. They did have both indoor and outdoor seating and they have monthly specials as well.We'll be coming back here again!

Read an article about this restaurant and decided to try it out. The food was amazing. Definitely worth the drive. The parking lot does get full, but I would wait a few minutes for someone to leave as the food is worth it and the staff was very friendly.

The best place to eat authentic Mediterranean food. Pick anything from there menu, I promise you it does taste so good, you will enjoy every bite of it. I visited this restaurant first time more than 21 years ago, still I'm a regular customer.

This place is tucked away in a quiet little location however small and quiet is not how you would describe the food. I ordered the felafel bowl, the vegetables were crisp and fresh, the felafel was phenomenal. Love the food, love the staff. We will be back
