So delicious, very good service high-quality food

Food it’s amazing, service outstanding, the plates are well served, flavors are so good, definitely one of my favorite places to in Stanton, Ca ❤️‍🔥

Excellent food at very reasonable prices. The staff was friendly and personable. Will definitely go back when I'm in the area.

I had the pleasure of trying Mama Kebobs' combo plate, and it was an absolute delight! The flavors were rich and authentic, offering a perfect blend of savory and aromatic spices. The variety on the plate was impressive, providing a satisfying taste of different kebobs and sides. The meats were tender and well-marinated, while the sides complemented the dishes perfectly. The portion size was generous, making it a fantastic value for the price. The friendly staff and cozy ambiance added to the overall enjoyable dining experience. Mama Kebobs' combo plate is a must-try for anyone looking to savor a diverse and mouthwatering meal.

Best food in town! I love Mama’s cooking!

Genuinely top 3 within 10 mile radius

This is a great little place to grab a bite of fine Mediterranean food. The staff are friendly and efficient. The prices are reasonable and the menu has some interesting offerings. One thing to know is that they do not have any gyro dishes, unlike many other Kabab places. The beef shwarma sandwich was excellent, though! This small shop was a nice find off Katella & Knott in Stanton.

Nice little place with good food. I had the chicken shawarma bowl and had to get the baklava. For me the bowl is perfect for lunch. The plate is a bit bigger which is too much for me. Also suggest getting the hummus, it's good food here.

Taste is excellent! Portion is good! Price is affordable! Will definitely bring family and friends and spread the word.

Very authentic Turkish cuisine, fresh full of flavor.

Mama's Kabab was delicious. I just wish the owners would be a little more enthusiastic and appreciative of customers. It's a hit and miss with their attitudes. However, the food is worth the visit. I had the chicken kabob with salad.

I've had food from here a few times and I've always loved it. It tastes fresh and flavorful, and the portions are generous

One of the best Kabab places I've been to. Everything was delicious. I had the Lamb Kabab and the meat was so tender and delicious, the rice and the hummus were perfect. Even was my wife enjoyed her Chicken Kabab and she was saying that is one of the best flavors. I believe this is a family business and more people need to know about this great spot.

Good quality food still exists! Call ahead and pick it up. Hot fresh and ready to eat! Small Ma & Pa shop just like the name says MAMA’s Kabab. My favorite is the Jajek dip. Yogurt, cucumber, garlic and dry mint. I dip my chicken shawarma in it. So good.

New owners, New menu, New sign and New interior remodeling! Food and Service is Outstanding! I highly recommend this Restaurant!!

Can’t express how delicious the food , the service and the employees were. I ordered a falafel sandwich and shawerma sandwich and they were both really good and the price is unbeatable here in OC. I also saw one of their other meals while waiting for mine. Definitely going to come back for more

I am so happy I was in this area to enjoy the food. To me it is more an experience when food is amazing & service is good & Food is served in a way it makes you smile. ok Lets start with the Taste, I am an Armenian from Turkey so I had some amazing Kebabs, The quality of meet they use is compared to high end restaurants so they get a 5 star there taste was good. Sides like Fries served hot it Humus was WOOOOW garlic spread all very good. Service from the start nice experience. Check out how they serve the good, IN Wooden serving board for what I consider a casual fast food another wow experience. Cant wait to be back sadly you are so far from where I live,

The best destination for Middle Eastern food — high quality, very reasonable prices, and excellent service. The restaurant owner is welcoming and hospitable, and I also noticed how clean the place is. I highly recommend anyone in the area to visit. This is the price list.

I always order from this Mediterranean restaurant, Mama’s Kabab. The portions are generous, the service is great, and the food is always fresh and delicious. I got the chicken kabab and beef kabab, both were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Highly recommend. Ed.

Really good Middle Eastern food. The kebab and lamb shank were tasty and well cooked, rice and lentils were great. Prices are very reasonable and the place is nice and comfortable. Worth trying 👍

The Food was Delicious Customer service was Top Notch Highly Recommend Stopping By

Best Mediterranean food in town! Mama’s Kabab serves up authentic and delicious gyro, falafel, shawarma, and more. I wouldn’t have though much of this place look at it from the outside but my friend recommended it he lived near by. It’s a cozy spot, lady that helped us didn’t talk much but she has a very warm smile and very sweet. I felt very welcomed there Food is fresh, and clean. Feels like homemade. I’d definitely recommend this spot if you like Mediterranean food

I tried Mama's Kabab for the first time today, and I was blown away. I ordered a chicken and rice bowl, which came with a garlic puree sauce. Everything was so fresh, flavorful, and delicious! The chicken was juicy, the rice was cooked just right, and the garlic puree enhanced all of the wonderful flavors. I brought some home for my husband, and he loved it, too. His only complaint was that I hadn't saved enough for him! Mama Kabab herself (the owner I believe) was there, and was so nice and cheerful. The ambiance of the restaurant was also nice, with plenty of seating available. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone - some of the best Mediterranean food I've had!

So delicious, very good service high-quality food

We ate out today and the food was absolutely amazing. The clerk, Nina, was really nice and brought up some good recommendations. The beef kefta and chicken gyro was really flavorful and fresh off the grill. The best part you get a lot of food for a good price. Highly recommend!

I saw some reviews mentioning the new ownership, but honestly, I think the food and service are better than ever! Everything tasted so fresh and home-cooked. You can tell there's real care put into each dish. I think the owner was there when I visited, and she was so kind, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about the food (and super cute, too!) I wasn't sure what to order at first, but the staff were incredibly helpful and made great recommendations. The portions are perfect, and at a great price point. Everything I tried was delicious, and to top it off, they even gave me complimentary baklava at the end which was amazing! If you haven't tried this place since the new ownership, give it a chance. It feels like a true family-run Mediterranean spot, full of warmth, flavor, and heart. I'll definitely be back!

Absolutely Outstanding! I had an amazing experience at this Mediterranean restaurant. The food was incredibly tasty — every dish was full of authentic flavors and cooked to perfection. From the tender kababs to the fresh salads and warm pita, everything was spot on. The presentation was beautiful, the portions were generous, and the service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making the whole dining experience perfect from start to finish. Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves delicious Mediterranean food — I’ll definitely be coming back!

Highly recommend this new restaurant. Very flavorful and authentic. Had the Turkish coffee which was one of the best. Baclava was exceptional. The group ordered many items and all were highly rates

Fresh, quality meat and ingredients. The aide salad was actually one of the best I’ve had at a Mediterranean spot (been to maybe 20-30 others). Ate inside and they had traditional music playing which enhanced the experience.

I went with my family and we had a great experience. The kabob was amazing. Lentil soup so good . I love it specially in Winter time . Go and try it .

I found a hidden gem! I was looking for a lunch spot and found this little spot, basically by chance. Very clean, super friendly, real Mediterranean food with fresh quality ingredients. Definitely will keep it on my list. In fact, going back there today. Good spot. Give it a try. You are welcome.

Food is always delicious here, vibrant flavors and good portions. I was here yesterday and was disappointed that neither the lady ringing me up or the lady cooking, putting meals together, was wearing a mask.

Been here before, quaint mom and pop shop in the plaza specializing in Mediterranean food like kabobs and gyros. Very homey atmosphere, spices on the food are good. Had the lamb plate and although there wasn't much lamb, there was plenty of hummus, pita, salad and rice so I stuffed by the end. Would go again if craving this type of food again

Mediterranean restaurant in Stanton. The place is unassuming, but clean. Service is excellent and relatively fast (you don't want any faster...) The food is good, maybe not top-shelf, but still pretty good. More importantly, the prices are typically lower than those of similar restaurants in the area, making Mama's Kabab a terrific value for the price. Parking is plentiful and easy in the area.

Chicken, lamb, falafels and rice were tasteful; however I am giving 3 stars to this place because I think that the plates should come with some salad or a decent amount of veggies, not just 1/4 tomate, 1/8 onion and 1/8 pepper; the appetizer (falafels) had more veggies than the plates and were $3 cheaper 😒.

+2

It's a typical mom-and-pop shop. The food was pretty good, and you get a lot of food, but it's nothing out of the ordinary. I might go back if I'm in the area, but I'm not eager to come back soon.

A clean Armenian / Mediterranean restaurant it’s family owned. Came in with my wife as she wanted to eat some kafta kabobs and I ordered the chicken shawarma looks like a lot of locals come in to pick up their orders. Food was delicious and flavorful they do not cook unless you order what you want so it gets hot and mouth watering. The only takeaway is they don’t have air conditioning so it’s warm inside but cold outside because we came in the month of January.z

Chicken did not have as much flavor as previous owner. Also waited too long when there were no other customers. Sorry, won't be coming back.

Shawerma is not Shawerma - it's just yellow grilled chicken Garlic sauce looks like garlic sauce but as a taste is NOT

Ordered on the phone: combo platter, beef shawarma rice bowl, and baba ganoush. Once I got to the store, combo platter was missing and replaced with hummus. I never said hummus once on the phone. Ended up taking the rice bowl and baba ganoush. Babaganoush didn't taste bad but it didn't look or taste like any baba ganoush I've ever had. Zero eggplant taste. Mostly tomato and herbs. Beef shawarma rice bowl was ok. Been here before and they usually include a white garlic sauce. None this time. Maybe new ownership since the old couple that is normally there were not there this time. Extremely disappointing since I wanted to come back to this place to support the old couple. Although, I'm glad I didnt spend the extra $20 on the combo platter.

New owners, same menu but MUCH WORSE QUALITY. Warning that all reviews older than a week are basically for a different restaurant. Mamas Kabab was one of my favorite restaurants in existence, and it deeply saddens me to have to give it such a low rating, but the quality of food was so dramatically inferior that I cannot recommend it in its current state. If the new owners read this, I implore you to endeavor to recapture the essence of the original recipes or change the name of the establishment.

UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP 😢 and the quality and taste is no longer the same. Mamas kabab was our go to for Mediterranean food. We would typically get it once a week. It was always consistent and delicious. We ordered it today after our vacation and to my disappointment, it tasted completely different. I searched online and saw others note that it’s under new ownership. I was devastated 💔 worst part? The prices went up and the quality went down. Everything tastes watered down and bland. The new owners need to change the name….this is not the same mamas kabab we once knew….
