• Mediterranean • Anaheim
Booked 3 times today
We longed for a community built around a table with good food, but Anaheim lacked authentic and fresh Mediterranean cuisine. We took it on ourselves to create the space and food we craved. Together with friends and family, we hand-built a restaurant that felt Mediterranean in every way, from the murals of the Aleppo Citadel to the menu filled with warm spices and colorful vegetables. Our menu is still built on the original recipes and techniques passed down by our grandparents. We only use high-quality and fresh ingredients, because we want to represent our cuisine well.

    Food was fantastic. Probably some of the best Mexican food I’ve had. Horchata latte was delicious, brunch items were great. I had the Los Burros which was perfection and my husband and son shared the Sabot A Casa and insisted that they ordered better than me haha!

    I ordered the porterhouse steak. My wife ordered the filet mignon and out of the lobster tail. The porterhouse had a hot honey drizzle over it and the mashed potatoes it came with as well as broccoli and oh my God the food was absolutely delicious. The server made a great suggestion to add the lobster tail to my wife’s filet mignon for only $10 rather than add it to my porterhouse steak meal for $25. The service was great and very classy. Our server even gave us a free, complementary chocolate soufflé dessert for our honeymoon dinner and it was legitimately heaven! 100% would go back there again. It was pricey I paid $300 for me and my wife, but it was $300 including tip and libations very well worth great tasting food and the experience We’ve eaten at Morton’s steakhouse near Disneyland as well and the food was nowhere near what Roy’s cook cooked up for us

    We enjoyed our first meal at Mana Mia’s for my birthday celebration. The food was very flavorful and plentiful. A nice selection entrees, pizza and sandwiches. The pistachio ricotta cake was a welcome surprise due to its lightness and not too sweet taste. We will return. Our waitress took good care of us. The owner was friendly.
