El Mahroosa Restaurant & Cafe

I have only been to this restaurant once so my review is based on just a single visit/experience. They serve typical Jordanian food and are located off of Brookhurst and Ball rd. in Anaheim where there are many middle eastern restaurants located.
The restaurant drew a large crowd on a Saturday night. Most of the patrons were there to enjoy Shisha or Hookah. They have a small no-smoking area and a huge smoking section. I was with a party of 6 people and the only place large enough to accommodate us was in the smoking section. I am a non-smoker and usually don't have a problem with others smoking but the place was filled with smoke.. still OK with me but men, women were also smoking cigarettes while seated along with their families comprising of young children. Maybe it is OK in their homes to do so, but I was a bit disturbed to see that

Nice place. Great service, the people are so friendly a d the food is to die for.

I love coming here with my friends who introduced this place to me. The hookah is nice and the food here is amazing. The staff was nice and very attentive as well. ^_^

Our family didn't care about the hookah. We were concerned about the smell. However, there were some tables in the restaurant separate from the hookah tables. The place was almost full & busy even with almost TEN employees. Our excellent server was Priscilla (she speaks four languages). The food was great (refer to six pictures). I forgot to take more pictures as we dived in the food quickly. The quantity & quality combined with the price was consistent with other competitors.
Comparing the Egyptian dishes we ordered & El Mahroosa facility to Cairo restaurant we have clear vision & future goal which food establishment we plan to continue to revisit. The differences are obvious.
Last but not least, we met one of the best bakers who provided the baked items.
We highly recommend this restaurant.

Cool atmosphere. It is a chill place to relax and talk with friends. There is hookah available if you would like to get it. There are several tables available it is a decent size. Probably seats around 70-80. The portions are a good size. The price isn't high it is fair what you get.
