Take Metrolink to Anaheim and dine at Desert Moon Mediterranean Grill – a restaurant that’s great for groups, serving traditional Middle Eastern dishes, from small plates to grilled meat in a welcoming environment.
It’s located in a strip mall at the corner of Brookhurst Street and Brookmore Avenue, and groups can be seen lining up an hour before the sun sets as a waiter checks their name off a reservation list.
As soon as the buffet opens, people file into the restaurant to feast on dishes like pita, moutabal (charred eggplant dip), fattoush salad, lamb mansaf and a dessert of qatayef — stuffed, deep-fried pancakes doused in a sweet sugary syrup.
