Little Arabia, Lebanese Bakery And Cuisine — Restaurant in Anaheim

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...

We stopped by Little Arabia on a late Saturday morning for brunch, and we were not disappointed. We love the traditional Lebanese breakfast of zaatar and cheese pizza pies, and so we took the opportunity while visiting Anaheim.

We ordered spinach pies (pasties), a zaatar and cheese pizza pie (half and half) and a zaatar and veggie wrap, which is a zaatar pizza pie wrapped around diced tomatoes, cucumbers and mint leaves (eaten like a sandwich).

The food we ordered was outstanding in its flavor and presentation. The spinach pasties had the right balance of tartness from lemon juice, and sweetness from sauteed onions. The pastie crust was crispy on the outside and warm and luscious on the inside. These spinach pasties reminded me of the flavors of my mom's. They were that good!

The zaatar pie and wrap were also delicious. The crust was excellent and the toppings had the right proportions. I would definitely order the zaatar & veggie wrap again.

Inside Little Arabia is another business that sells crepes and fruit drinks and shakes. So we ordered a choco-fruit crepe for my young son. It consisted of Nutella chocolate-nut spread and slices of fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, pineapple) over 2 warm crepes. It was decadent and delicious!

We finished our meal by ordering a strong pot of Turkish coffee and a dozen spinach pasties to go. (Yes, they were that good, and they freeze very well--so why not?) Just pop a few in the toaster oven for 8-10 minutes and you've got a very healthy snack or light meal.

I highly recommend you visit Little Arabia for an authentic...

Food smelled and looked great....

That's the extent of the positives. Like other reviewers have stated, I was completely ignored until I got in the path of the server, who pretended she missed me standing there the first 5 min. Fine, she then told me to sit at the table near the door, where I sat, unattended for another 5 min. I waved her down and a few minutes later she came to take my order. She began by asking what I wanted and when I explained it was my first time, she stopped paying attention and started looking at other tables. Fine, I guess I should know...so she took my order and I let her know I had limited time. 10min later and two assurances later, I got my food, but no drink. I got up and asked for lemon and the guy working the counter asked me for what..and looking over my shoulder to see what I ordered as if to qualify the need for such an appalling request. Now after some commotion I was given a wedge of lemon, returned to my table and tasted my salty (on a scale of 1-10, an 8 or 8.5) food. Requested my check. Did not get it until I got up and in her way. I put cash in and she walked away from it. Had to ask for a to go box and nada. I had to get up to get both a box and my change. She finally gave me a water as I was walking out. No napkins or plasticware in my bag and I had to get them elsewhere to eat my lunch. Forget this place. I would suggest non-arabic people try the pizza place next door. I got crappy service and salty food for my...
