Barbonzai Lebanese Eatery | Costa Mesa | Halal Mediterranean Restaurant

It’s a catering/ take out, not a restaurant . Food was good.

The food, establishment, and staff is 10/10. Just a great experience overall, you cant beat it. Great tasting food served by genuine polite people with a cool decor with custom painted murals on wall by cmykasey. People will have their personal opinions about food and my personal opinion on the food here is that its delecious and i love it ano to mention im picky. Overall if you need a place to eat, want to have a good experience or want to try authentic Lebanese you found it. The owner and family are born and bread Lebanese and you can taste it! Keep it up yall!

When I first try Lebanese place it was good the wraps with everything in it The sauce was good and The burger was good too it was Delicious I got on my lunch time definitely will come back again and service was good

I work in the LAB and they are my go to spot to eat, it’s always a chicken bowl for me but everything I’ve gotten from here has been incredible. Falafel burger, the pita warps and salad they have are all amazing

Food was fresh, came out relatively fast with good friendly service

You can call it Lebanese food as much as you want to.. but that ain't it.. i mean you can have a fun steak wrap there.. but it is definitely NOT Shawarma, let alone the magnificent Lebanese shawarma.. (I miss Shawarma Joseph 🥺).. now take a look at the pictures and tell me if the lentil soup you see is anything that you would get in a Lebanese restaurant or even in the entire Levant area! they gave us Hummus which is was very cold and doesn't taste like Lebanese hummus.. and the menu is so limited with all kinds of missed opportunities to introduce Lebanese appetizers (mezza) and makes feel a little bit close to our beloved Lebanon.. the space is tight and not very clean.. but the service is friendly i have to admit.. even the branding/decoration of the place is not done by someone who have even visited Lebanon.. I am an Egyptian who lived in Leabnon and married from Lebanon.. the food is not bad, but believe me when I tell you that is not Lebanese.. #If_Only

The staff and owners are so nice! Their hospitality makes the already delicious food taste even better. HIGHLY recommend the za'atar fries!!!

I am Lebanese myself. Been in the states 25 years. Never had better baba ghanouj away from home. The chicken shawarma was excellent and the toom on point. I'm definitely coming back and recommending friends. Must try.

The food was amazing! Real Lebanese food. Can highly recommend this place.

Just WOW

Wow, small but powerful, very tasty and large portion. The falafel were very crispy and tender, very traditional flavor. The tahini and other sauces very well done. The chicken Shawarma bowl was huge, not traditional shaved Shawarma, but very good nonetheless. All in all, a very nice addition to the lab, and a worthwhile place to stop for Mediterranean type food.

Delicious chicken shawarma and falafel !

I work in Costa Mesa and go out to lunch everyday. I have my goto restaurants and this is one I can't pass up. I go every other week and always look forward to it. I was at The Lab once and decided to give it a shot and was wildy surprised at how good the food is, everything. I tend to get the Chicken Pita wrap the most, but you can't go wrong with anything. Their special fries and Lentil soup are amazing as well. I'll mostly dine in, but sometimes take my meal around the corner to the brewery that's about 30 yards away and eat there.

Very tasty food. Glad we discovered it today! Yummy salad bowls and zaatar fries. Clean restaurant. Easy going, laid back spot. Healthy and halal! 🙌🏼

Very fresh food and tasty. Will Be back!

Really good Lebanese good. Limited menu but all items are delicious. The falafel platter was excellent. Not much seating space.

Only had the baba ghanouj and it was delicious. Very friendly staff.
