Shish Taouk Restaurant is a hidden gem! We stopped by after a workout and, even though they open at 11 AM, the owner and staff kindly let us in early at 10:45. Right away, we could tell how much care goes into their food—everything is made fresh, and you can really taste the quality (cooked with high-quality olive oil!).
We got the combo beef/lamb plate and baba ganoush, and for $31, it was plenty for two people. The flavors were incredible, and the owner made the experience even better with his hospitality and stories about the restaurant.
Highly recommend this spot—great food, great people, and a welcoming vibe!

The food is delicious, fresh, and the portions are reasonable. However, for the price, the plates could be bigger and have more food. The chef was very friendly and helped us choose our dishes. There’s free parking available around the area.

Went for lunch today and had a great experience. I believe the name of the employee who took my order was John. He was very friendly and helped in making my decision on what to get. The head chef/mamager was also fantastic. Top notch customer service and the food was immaculate. There was also plenty of seating in case you come on your lunch break. I absolutely would recommend this place to anyone.

Family owned Mediterranean restaurant, owner who runs the store is very sweet and personable! Some of the best Mediterranean I’ve had in California! Sauces are great & portions are huge for the price! Can’t go wrong!

If you've never tasted Mediterranean food especially in Lebanese, what happened to be an expert, you MUST try Shish Taouk. The food is most authentic everything, I need everything is made in house, from the bread, stop playing music, to the desserts all made in house. Services of above & beyond. Chef Belal and his young upcoming sous chef Nader made us feel at home. We had the kebab and shawarma plate for dinner, fight started off with the recommended combination appetizer plate. Everything we tried to explode in flavor. It wasn't just the presentation, it was the actual taste that made it delicious. You must visit. In the heart of Orange county in Mission Viejo on Alicia Parkway
