Grace C. met here for lunch before watching Into the Woods at the Plummer Auditorium. The menu is Lebanese food with items like shawerma, shish kebabs, hummus, and falafel. I probably should have gotten the chicken but I opted for the salmon cous cous salad since I was trying to opt for a healthier option. The lemon and garlic spiced salmon was flaked into a mound of Israeli cous cous with tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and onions. The overall dish was lemony since it was dressed with olive oil and lemon juice. It was overpoweringly tart. I wished for some balance of flavors but all I could taste was lemon and not in a good way. I was glad that the salmon wasnt fishy but I would have liked it to have been a whole piece rather than flaked apart. It almost seemed like it came from a can. Grace opted for the shawerma chicken wrap and she commented that it was a little small on the portion but I told her that it was the appropriate amount of food. I tried a piece of the chicken with the garlic sauce and it was pretty good. The service was ok. There was maybe 2 other parties in the restaurant when we arrived. The waitress took her time to bring us menus. We opted for water and our chosen entrees. Theres a free appetizer with the purchase of two entrees (platters) so my salad didnt count. Oh well, next time maybe. When we needed to leave we went to the front to pay since we didnt want to wait any longer for the waitress to return. Parking in the lot is free for 3 hours.

I didnt really like their food, my mom makes a much better grape leaf wrap, their rice was overcooked, and smashed, it wasnt perfect like at other places, their service was good and prompt; their plates are big and you certainly get more than enough food; the beef kafta was very tasty, but they serve two short kaftawas, instead of two long kaftas. We are outside, because the inside looked old, dark and unattractive. Their humus were OK, my daughter liked their garlic sauce, and their shawarma wrap; she liked the ambiance with the light bulbs hanging outside. The prices are OK, $16.00 for a big plate of kafta with rice, salad and humus, I think it was $11.00 for the shawarma wrap.

Ive been here tons of times, and EVERYTHING on the menu is excellent. However, today when I ordered, Jinan asked if Id like to try the new "Ginger Burger." Since its never hit or miss with Les Amis I went ahead and tried it. To my surprise the burger was insanely excellent. It is a unique interpretation of the classic burger using classic Les Amis style to make it their own. I cannot describe it justly - you will have to try it for yourself. Ask for the Ginger Burger. You will NOT be disappointed! A serious contender for best burger in Orange County for sure.

I always enjoy my forays to Les Amis. I prefer vegetarian options like the cauliflower wrap and salads but meat lovers can enjoy a wide variety of lamb, chicken or beef selections. The soups are always amazing! And the peppermint tea is my favorite. One can be satisfied with a salad or wrap for $5 or try a full entree. The baklava rocks too. The staff is genuine and wonderful and the decor is full of conversation starters. They offer a child friendly area with toys and outdoor smoking/dining patio as well. Try it!

A friend recommended this place to my husband and I. We went thinking it would be an alright place, but it turned out to be awesome! Best falafel EVER! And I was amazed at the prices. Usually for an appetizer, two means, and drinks it can get expensive, but at Les Amis, the prices are super reasonable. I never even write reviews, but I just had to write a good review for this place cause it is so good!

Ive ordered the cultural plate for dinner a few times, at just $12 its one of the most expensive items on the menu, and is worth every penny. They recently built out their patio, which will be nice for summer. This is one of the few kitchens in Fullerton that stay open late night. Also, my wife is addicted to their garlic & olive oil salad dressing.

After a flight from Kansas my son and I stopped by for hamburgers on our way to his home in Winchester. I have never had a bad experience at an IN-N-OUT BURGER. The restaurant was crowded be the service was friendly and as fast as possible. These are my favorite hamburgers.

This is one of my favorite places to dine. Pick a spot on the patio, or inside. The flavors and the atmosphere are rich and inviting. The food is amazing. Shawerma, Hummus, and the best pickled beet salad youve tasted in years. Try anything, its all delicious!

I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this restaurant! Really cute setup and dishware, our waitress was very pleasant and attentive. Definitely want to bring other people to this location, to enjoy a great bite to eat in a quaint artisanal setup.

The food is pretty good, but over priced and miss proportioned. We got a family meal that is suppised to feed 2. For two big scoops of hummus we got 1/2 a piece of puta bread....for 2 people? And two tiny thin slices of chicken.

Excellent Mediterranean food! Be sure to request the lamb kebab be cooked medium. Otherwise they will overcook it quite a bit. The Kafta (ground lamb patties) were also great! Try the fried cauliflower appetizer too.

House lemonade is amazing, be careful with Salmon Cous Cous very addicting thats how good that is. I have to come here twice a week just for that, I wish I can go there every day.

This place is so good! We got the fried cauliflower, which was amazing and shared the lamb shish kabob plate. Highly recommended! Decent beers on tap and a good wine list too.

The food and the service is great. The food is good and well priced. The fried cauliflower is awesome and for a large group I recommend the Les Amis Platter.

Delicious food and a cool little set up. It reminds me of having lunch at my grandmas house. Totally laid back and fantastic cooking.
