It all started in Europe in the 80’s. Wally was abroad studying to become a dentist. Being away from his family in Lebanon, he missed home cooked meals. He started experimenting on his own and develop…
We love Wally's so much up in our hometown in Rocklin and are so excited they're open in Costa Mesa now! The best Lebanese food! The chicken pomegranate and lentil soup are so great. Wraps are also delicious!

Love, LOVE Wally's Cafe. Shawarma, both beef and chicken, was tasty, and portions were sufficient (also, I added a generous side of onion rings for just $1.99). What I loved and that frankly surprised me were the 2 complimentary lentil soups & small baklava bites added to my order (not advertised). A nice gesture, and this tells me this is an establishment that cares about its customers! Very thoughtful of Wally's (and quite rare these days). Not sure if this perk comes with every order or because I was a new customer, but whatever the case, I will now be a returning customer. NOTE: The location I ordered from (Costa Mesa Kitchens) is a shared kitchen situation with no indoor or outdoor seating, so order here for takeout (as I did), or maybe eat in your car (there's an attached parking lot for about a dozen or more cars). Wally's has a dedicated sevice counter on location (closed for break, 3-5 pm), so you can order on site or ahead of time through your preferred delivery/pick-up app.

This is a tough one for me. The food and all the flavors were amazing. From the rice, the Kafta Kabobs Plate, lentil soup Chicken Shawarma Wrap and Chicken Kabobs Plate it was all delicious. The only down fall was that the chicken was under cooked in my Chicken Kabob Plate. I had to throw it on the stove for a little bit. Other than that, this place is as delicious as everyone says it is! The portions are huge and the food was very fresh. Would definitely order again.

Ordered the combo lunch plate with Chickenkebab and beef shawarma. Chicken portion was generous but the texture and flavor was mediocre. Lots of rice (too much?), nice salad but the dressing was mostly oil, and lentil soup was kind of boring.

I came across Wally’s Cafe on DoorDash and noticed it was new to the ghost kitchen. I love trying new spots, so I checked out the Yelp reviews—and after seeing all the rave reviews, I had to give it a shot.
My boyfriend and I ordered the chicken shawarma plate with extra pita and extra sauce (of course). The portions were massive! To top it off, it looked like the owner threw in a free side of lentil soup and a slice of baklava—such a thoughtful touch!
Everything was absolutely delicious, and I’ll 100% be ordering from here again. Easy 10/10!
