Mas's Islamic Restaurant is a Chinese restaurant, so if you're picturing a stereotype Middle Eastern food place, this isn't it. Islam has had a long history in China, the uncle of Muhammad himself went to Tang China around 650 AD as an emissary. Since then, the Muslim traders settled in China over the centuries and eventually adopted Chinese names and customs. Some took the name "Ma' from "Muhammad", which is what this restaurant is named after ("Ma Family Restaurant").
The food served here is basically Halal Chinese food with some fusion dishes from Hui Muslim ethnic foods. The most famous is the sesame bread with green onions, which you can get the "thin" or "thick" version. They also make a desert variety with sweet red bean paste. You can get similar foods at Jamiliah Garden on Walnut in Tustin, but IMO Ma's Restaurant in Anaheim is better. I happen to be a fan of lamb, so this is a great place for me.
