Little Arabia

I like this place, I feel like home :)

Thank you for always introducing us to awesome food and great places to eat :) great job !!! Keep on introducing us to the beauty of little Arabia.

I’ve tried a few things from here and I def loved it, I will probably come back often :)

This is by far the best arabic food i had in the US by far! Hope the quality remains the same

My family and I have visited Little Arabia several times now. We have enjoyed their pies, chicken and beef kabobs, baba ghannog, cucumber salad, hummus, and oh so fresh bread. Everything is very fresh. My favorite is their spinach pie, zataar bread, chicken kabob, hummus, baba ghannog, and cucumber salad. They are new and a small, family owned business making their food fresh. Don’t go expecting super fast service, instead I recommend enjoying the relaxed atmosphere, taking in the smells and sounds this great restaurant has to offer. If you just gotta have their great food fast, maybe call ahead your order or when you go, let them know your time frame and ask if they will be able to get your meal in the time you need it. The personable and friendly service topped off our experiences. Thank you Little Arabia for your great food, reasonable prices, and inviting atmosphere.

My husband and I visited this location hoping to enjoy the experience. It was not pleasant at all. The customers after us were served their food first, and that whole family happened to be Arabic. My husband is an Aryan white male, and I am a Mexican female. It is quite clear that it was racial discrimination. We waited 20 minutes for food that was never served to us because when I peeked behind the counter and they never started our order. They kept staring at me as if they did not want us there. So my husband and I decided to leave and we gave our business to a Mexican food restaurant that had a more respectful staff, and welcomed us with smiling faces. Little Arabia is pro Arabic only. If you are not Arabic, expect to be discriminated.

I was very satisfied with their food. It’s very fresh and made to order not pre-​made. Their servings are also generous for the price. We also ordered a tray of sweets that were delicious!

Little Arabia is now an official tourist destination! Hopefully, that means more funding for a facelift and, as much as I hate to say it, more policing.
There are a lot of phenomenal Middle Eastern businesses here and that brings a lot of great political rallies to the corner of Brookhurst and Orange. It’s really amazing to see so many young people passionate about their beliefs.
Sadly, there are also a lot of businesses that attract a very less than desirable crowd of tweakers, trollops and johns. I’m not talking Bunny Ranch prostitutes, more like Faces of Meth prostitutes. And possible human trafficking at massage parlours. Hopefully, the fronts for these businesses will find a better home in Stanton or Garden Grove.
So, if you can look past the scabs that hopefully get a Bactine rinse, there’s something beautiful here. Lots of delicious foods, pastries, hookah lounges, clothing and more! Shoot, even Baja Fresh is halal.

Anaheim has become an interesting mix of grimey strip clubs, mosques, halal restaurants, and Disney Land.
I literally drove by a strip club across the street from a hijab superstore on Brookhurst today.
God I love OC.

A breath of fresh air, after having lived in NYC, this part of CA reminds me of Steinway, Astoria… the idea of community, Culture, and the solidaity between Arab-​Americans is alive and well here… This s far more refreshing than the spread our middle eastern community in LA.

Little Arabia is just what it is called…
In this area you can go adventure and explore the middle eastern culture, from its foods to its hookah lounges.
most of my friends from outta town come visit here and they say it makes them feel like they are in the middle east with all the arab stores all around.
i usually go there at least once or twice a week…

Little Arabia is a great collection of restaurants, cafes, exotic markets, and hookah (water pipe) lounges along Brookhurst Street between the I-​5 Freeway and Katella Avenue!

It actually starts on Brookhurst and Lincoln, then south to Ball Road.

Today was my first time exploring Little Gaza. The area is kinda small but it’s pretty interesting. I’ve never seen so many smoke shops on one street in my life. Everywhere I looked. there it was. hookah lounge. Some of the business names are written in Arabic. I saw many Middle Eastern restaurants, bakeries, bookstores and Islamic clothing stores selling jilbab (Muslim garment). I went to Altayebat supermarket and it was a cute, small market selling halal food. I’m not familiar with Arabic culture, but this is the place to go for some Middle Eastern grubs.

This part of Anaheim has numerous Middle Eastern grocery stores, restaurants, cafes, hookah lounges, bakeries, clothing stores, etc.
Its unofficial borders are Brookhurst Ave between La Palma and Katella.
Only a couple miles from Disneyland, Little Gaza is a completely different experience.
Three places I’d recommend visiting in the area would be Victory Bakery & Restaurant, Zankou Chicken, and Al-​Amir bakery.
Zankou and Al-​Amir specialize in Armenian versions of the food.
+ cleaner than other ethnic enclaves
+ interesting and unique experience
