The food was absolutely amazing. The lamb was so tender, the rice was so flavorful, and the portions were very big. The staff was also very helpful, on time, organized, and very generous. I will definitely order from here again. Everyone at the party loved the food and gave great compliments about the food!

Came here for the first time and was not disappointed. When we first walked in we were greated by the owner, who could not have been more welcoming. He explained the food options with an obvious passion. He suggested the specials they were offering that day with enthusiasm and detail. We were sold and ordered by his suggestions. We got the stuffed cucumbers and lambchops that he recommended. We also got an order oh falafel. All of the food was great and had a fresh, homemade quality to it. We will definitely be returning to try more of their options.

My girlfriend told me that I had to go with her to check out the delicious food at Waffa's. I read that they had been voted as the BEST Mediterranean food in San Gabriel and I totally agree with the voters !. I got to meet Tony, who is one of the owners. He was so nice and very helpful with his recommendations. The chicken kabobs were moist & tasty. We also tried the lamb chops and they were cooked to perfection. Their house salad & dressing was excellent. We had several other Mediterranean spots that we had always enjoyed but now we have found our favorite. Tony, thank you for your gracious hospitality and let the kitchen staff know that they have mad skills on the grill. Mando & Jolie

The food here is wholesome and very tasty. My favorite thing to order here is the Chicken Kebab, full of flavor and the side salad and rice and hummus are very tasty as well. I have eaten the lamb chops as well, which my husband loves. The lamb meet is tender and delicious, and it was my first time eating lamb. The falafels are very crispy on the outside and softer on the inside, and not dry like other falafels I have eaten in other places. Everything is made from scratch expect the pita bread they give you on the side. They told me it takes them 3 days to make the hummus. I enjoy eating here because the food is tasty, fresh and nutritious.

My girlfriend and I ordered the chicken shawarma and it was very good! The hummus was fresh and I absolutely loved the tahini sauce. This restaurant seems to be a catering restaurant, but had dine in options. Simple, delicious, and friendly service!

If you’re looking for authentic Lebanese food you must try Waffa’s. I’ve had homemade Lebanese food for the past 26 years and this is the only place I’ve tried that can compare. The food is fresh, made to order- not ahead of time, the meat was tender and flavorful, my boyfriend said he loved the shrimp (I’m allergic so I couldn’t try it) the tabbouleh salad was perfectly dressed (some other places leave it dry), the baba ganoush was excellent. The service is also amazing, the people are super friendly. It’s no wonder they have regulars!

I’ve been coming to Waffa’s for over 5 years, and it’s truly amazing! The cuisine is absolutely incredible — fresh, flavorful, and made with so much love. You can taste the homemade quality in every bite. Waffa, the owner, is one of the kindest souls you’ll ever meet. Her warmth, hospitality, and dedication to her customers make every visit special. She treats you like family, and her service is always above and beyond. This place has my heart — a customer for life!
