Description

This Little Gaza dive differentiates itself from its county competition by serving meals you won't find anywhere else--Jordanian mansaf, lamb spleens, and weekly specials pulled from across the Levant. Eat inside, and be prepared to endure a little humidity because of everyone drinking their free mint tea.

    Little Arabia Grows Up

    By GABRIEL SAN ROMAN | Thu, January 26, 2012

    An onshore flow sways the palm trees of Anaheim's Brookhurst Plaza, a cul-de-sac of one-story strip malls surrounding a parking lot. The breeze gently flaps through the flags of Egypt, Iraq, Palestine and other Middle Eastern countries that fly... More »

  • 2012 | Best Middle Eastern Restaurant

    Amid the Lebanese bakeries, hookah lounges and Middle Eastern grocery markets of Anaheim's Little Arabia stands Olive Tree, hailed across Southern California as the best Middle Eastern restaurant of them all. The moderate prices do no injustice to the hefty portions: lamb shanks so tender they don't slide right off the bone so much as vanish; chicken shawerma charred to perfection over a bed of basmati rice; or a tureen of creamy labne, a thick yogurt typically eaten with pita bread drizzled...

  • 2011 | Best Middle Eastern Restaurant

    Anaheim's as-yet-undesignated Little Arabia community centers on Olive Tree, owned by Abu Ahmad, with head chef Um Alaa cooking an astounding list of uncommon Jordanian, Palestinian and Egyptian specialities. While the standard fare of meze and kebabs are available, the thing to do is ask what's in the hotel pans behind the counter. Each day, there are one or two specials, from maglooba (lamb marinated in keshek, a sour dairy product) to saya deia (marinated, grilled whole fish), from rice... More »

  • 2010 | Best Place to Sacrifice a Lamb

    Every Middle Eastern restaurant in Anaheim's Little Gaza serves lamb; it's as vital to the scene as big hunks of beef in a Wyoming steakhouse. Not every restaurant, however, allows patrons the option of buying the whole damn thing. Give Abu Ahmad, owner of the very popular eatery, three days' notice and $300, and he'll have chef Um Alaa turn out an entire 17- to 20-pound lamb, rubbed with oil and spices and roasted in a special oven built just for the purpose. The meat comes... More »
