★★★★ Very nice proper sit down restaurant with great ambiance. You can go there for a formal dinner or lunch and won't feel that you are at a no-frills place at all. The food is very good, not every item is the best on this strip of Arabian restaurants but they do have some specialty dishes like "Musakhan" and "Mansaf" that are very authentic and done better than almost anywhere else. Make sure that you call them first because the above two dishes are not on the menu seven days a week. However the rest of the menu is quite extensive and the prices are surprisingly reasonable.

★★★★★ Simply the best grilled chicken! My children absolutely loved the yellow rice. Large portions of food so when you are here, remember the hadith “food for one person is enough for two...” Posted on September 10, 2018
NR One of the best Arabic ( middle eastern ) restaurant I ever seen in the United States , by the way I've been in Albawadi grill in Chicago il area its same food and dishes , booth are making unbelievable food !! Posted on August 16, 2016
★★★★★ This is probably the newest and the hottest restaurant on Anaheim's Gaza strip (aka Brookhurst between Katella and 5 fwy).
DM Grill is an experience to behold. The ambiance and hospitality is top notch. They serve authentic Middle Eastern dishes mostly in the Shami style. Their dishes are fresh and delicious with authentic Arabian side dishes and appetizers followed by traditional kabobs and rice platters. Make sure to try their fresh juices and authentic Khubz, baked right there fresh after you place the order.
We went there with a group of 7 adults and 4 kids. We ordered two of their huge family platter. Their menu mentions that this platter is good for 5 people however it contains so much food that I'm sure even 7 adults can be easily fed from one platter. It has Arabic style rice topped with an assortment of chicken and beef meats and kabobs. Platter is topped with a thin unleavened bread. The cost of this giant platter is $100.00 but given the amount and quality of food, it's worth it. We ordered two such platters and not only we ate to our fill all of us ended up taking a to go box full of food.
We had an amazing experience at DM Grill and plan on returning back several times over. Definitely worth checking it out.
P.S: the ambiance is family friendly with no loud music or hookah lounge. They've private booths and also tables and chairs setup. Posted on August 1, 2016
