Before coming to the United States, I spent over 10 years working as a professional chef in Syria, where I developed my passion for authentic Mediterranean cuisine. When I arrived in California, I started from the ground up, taking my first job in America as a waiter at Mr. Kebab Restaurant in Riverside. Although it was a humble beginning, I worked hard every day with determination, dedication, and the dream of one day owning the restaurant.

After five years of hard work, that dream became a reality. In 2005, with the unwavering support of my wife, Hanna, I purchased Mr. Kebab Restaurant and became both its owner and chef. Together, we dedicated ourselves to building not just a successful restaurant, but a place where families and friends could gather to enjoy authentic Mediterranean food in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Building the business was truly a family effort. My wife, Hanna, worked tirelessly alongside me, and together with our two sons and our daughter, we built a family business rooted in hard work, dedication, and a love for serving others. As our children grew, they became part of the restaurant, helping in every way they could and learning the value of commitment and teamwork. Together, we created a restaurant known for its fresh ingredients, homemade recipes, generous portions, and exceptional customer service. Every meal we serve reflects our family’s passion for quality and hospitality.

As our customers continued to support us, we were blessed with the opportunity to grow. In 2010, we opened our second Mr. Kebab Restaurant in Loma Linda, allowing us to share our authentic Mediterranean cuisine with even more guests throughout the Inland Empire.

Today, Hanna, our two sons, our daughter, and I remain committed to the same values that inspired us from the very beginning—hard work, authenticity, quality, and treating every customer like family. Whether you’re joining us for our popular lunch buffet or enjoying a meal from our à la carte menu, our family looks forward to welcoming you and sharing the authentic taste of the Mediterranean with you.

Thank you for being part of our journey. We look forward to serving you for many years to come.
