“9 of us dined at Sofra Grill last night.We loved everything about this gem of a restaurant. Who knew that Bosnian food was soooo good. The employees were hands on, accommodating and educated us on each entry we ordered. From the yummy salad to the unique breads to the delicious meats...dining at Sofra Grill was a culinary delight. I hope they will continue to expand throughout OC so everyone can enjoy this unique find. Thank you, David and team, for treating us so well in your amazing establishment.“
“Wow! Such a nice and classy restaurant/hookah spot! We wanted some hookah so looked up nearby spots! We went in without a reservation on Saturday night. Hookah is served only after 6 pm. They have limited flavors but the hookah itself was great! I got the ground beef kebob plate (koobideh) with no rice because I'm on keto. I also asked for no dressing but a side of olive oil and lemon juice. They brought out my plate exactly as I ordered. The kebob was soo juicy and delicious! Everything was great! They even have a full bar so you can order alcohol or tea! Will definitely be back when we are in the area again!“
“We ordered the gyro plate with Greek salad, garlic potatoes and humus. Everything was fresh with great flavors. The spicy cilantro was a little bit spicy but had excellent flavor. The service was very friendly and the restaurant was very clean. Would definitely recommend pita pita.“
“Good food. Uzbekistan food so it is ethnic and authentic. Lamb was very good and I usually don't like lamb. I encourage asking about the dishes and desserts. Service is good and is what I expect in a small business which was friendly. Ambiance is like a small cafe that shows some cultural linen on the wall and ceilings. I liked the place but it needs an open mind and palate to enjoy properly.“
“Karina was a great cashier and very helpful. Excellent customer service. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and well seasoned. Mac and cheese was amazing as well. Love that they have vegetarian options as well. Overall, I'm super impressed with this location. Thanks for the great meal! I'll definitely be back again to try more of the menu.Vegetarian options: Cauliflower tenders, kale slaw, toast, fries, and shakes.Parking: Huge parking lot and shopping center.“
“We just ordered DoorDash but only ended up receiving 1 of our 2 orders. I called the store and Paul was quick to fix the situation. Appreciate the customer service!Food wise, I used to live in Nashville and this hot chicken is legit. Tenders and fries are the way to go!“

“Hands down one of the best spots offering Ribeye Steak Kebab! Upon entering you will place your order and then be seated if dining in. The staff is helpful, full of energy and happy. The pita bread was some of the best I've had in awhile. I highly recommend eating at this hidden gem in OC!“
“Masala Bae offers a delightful solution for Indian food lovers on a budget. Their all-you-can-eat option provides excellent value without compromising on quality or variety. With a diverse selection of curries, including both meat and vegan options, every palate is catered to. The rich, flavorful curries burst with aromatic spices, delivering an authentic culinary experience. Don't miss out on pairing your curry with their delectable garlic naan, a perfect complement to the meal. And for dessert, indulge in their heavenly mango creations, reminiscent of a refreshing mango smoothie combined with creamy mango goodness. Masala Bae truly elevates the dining experience with their affordable yet delicious offerings.“
“Wow, small but powerful, very tasty and large portion. The falafel were very crispy and tender, very traditional flavor. The tahini and other sauces very well done. The chicken Shawarma bowl was huge, not traditional shaved Shawarma, but very good nonetheless. All in all, a very nice addition to the lab, and a worthwhile place to stop for Mediterranean type food.“
“Got the 3 pack for $13 - tried the potato, chicken, and beef. Honestly, more than I expected. Great flavor throughout, from the topping to the meat inside and held up well when taking it to go. Would definitely suggest if you want something quick and unique for Spectrum.“
“THIS PLACE IS FANTASTIC!!!!! located inside smart kitchens in an Industrial area. Very unassuming, but the food is FANTASTIC!! Grape leaves with meat served as they should be, warm. The chicken Shwarma made me compare it my grandmothers. highly recommended.“
“I absolutely loved my experience at Utopia European Caffe! The Turkish tea was delightful, and the wide range of breakfast options left me spoiled for choice. The sandwiches and pancakes were incredibly tasty, satisfying my cravings perfectly. Additionally, it's great to know that Utopia is a halal cafe. Five stars all the way!“
“We ordered the sloppy Zach and the beefy Zach. They take pride in making the sandwiches. Everything about the sandwiches was balanced between the flavor and just the right amount of spice. The sandwiches was not too greasy and brioche was pillow-y. The wait was worth it. Until next time.“
“Good portion size and flavors. A bit pricey but everything is nowadays. The fries are extra crispy which is fine but not everyone likes it like that. The plates with fries and cheese should be eaten immediately since the cheese tastes thick after about 1 hour.“
“I saw this place while on my way to my favorite burrito joint (more on that place later) ?Anyway I stopped by and ordered a two piece combo meal, comes with fries and a drink for about $14 bucks.The chicken is prepared to order, no pre-made food sitting around under a heat lamp, or microwaved before severed. Cooked to order and served piping hot, very fresh ? very tasty. Now the restaurant is called Krispi "Hot" Chicken and they live up to their name, you can have your fried chicken (chicken tenders and sandwiches too) mild or spicy and I do mean Spicy ? they have like 20 different levels of Spicy, I chose the medium hot level, and boy it was really really good, crispy, juicy and just the right amount of heat. The fries were very good also nice and crispy and a good amount for the order.I spoke with the owner, he said they've been in business for a year now, so that's a good sign that people like the food. Now this is a little mom and pop, hole in the wall chicken joint, but they've got big flavor and fresh food to offer with a friendly staff, so if your in the neighborhood stop in for some really good fried chicken and the fixings ?Enjoy, Tell them Fred sent you. ?“

“This is my first time I tried such a Mediterranean cuisine. In general, food was great. But they didn’t have a doner bomb because they were out of special buns for it. Well, if you have something popular on your menu make sure you don’t break supply chain.“
“Great place. The food is very tasty and homemade. Combines several cultures I discovered this place by accident and am sure that I will be a frequent visitor here. Service at a high level. Very hospitable The atmosphere is both cozy and elegant. I really liked the pictures reflecting the country and area where this cuisine comes from. Very interesting. And I recommend it to everyone. Food for every taste“

It can be a little spicy for folks who don't eat it and the staff here are really considerate of that. This place is a must visit for anyone who likes biryani.“

“Great food taste for us all, the service was excellent and they accommodated us for a fun birthday party for 9. We had the indoor seating which was perfect since it was a little chilly to catch up with each other's lives after a year from not seeing each other for some. Thank you Genaro & Rosy for being so attentive with our group. We appreciate the wonderful service! Important TIP to note that they also give a free dessert for the birthday celebrant. Gimme some of that baklava! Thank you Luna!“
“Dave's Hot Chicken delivers an unforgettable experience. Their succulent chicken, cooked to perfection with a fiery kick, leaves taste buds tingling with delight. The crispy toast serves as the ideal complement, enhancing every savory bite. And let's not forget about the French fries - a crispy, golden indulgence that adds the perfect crunch to every meal. From the first bite to the last, Dave's Hot Chicken satisfies cravings and leaves patrons craving more.“
“We ordered 4 things - Butter Chicken, Veg Thali, Onion Masala Rava Dosa & Podi Masala Dosa. All the items were delivered within 5 minutes of ordering & all of it was served hot and fresh.Loved the fact that the restaurant services are fast with the entire place full of people. Would definitely recommend 10/10.“
“Great kbbq. We came for dinner on Sunday, there was a little wait. The environment is nice, the bar with grill is cool. There are many food options and the meat quality is good. The food came really fast because all you need to do is order thru the phone by scanning the QR code and the food was delivered by "robot", so no need to nonstop asking for more to people. The down side for that is there are not much engagement from real people, so sometimes you would have to asking for new grill, water, etc. It is a great place overall, definitely will come again“
“My recent experience with this Dave’s was excellent! I felt extremely taken care of by the staff, the restaurant itself was outstandingly cleanly, and the overall ambience made it a great spot for myself and my group of friends to hang out in while eating delicious fried chicken. In particular, Arad was a stand out employee - he made major efforts to ensure our stay was as comfortable as possible.Arad was an all-star, and an exemplar example of what great customer service looks like. All in all, this experience was nigh perfect.“
“The restaurant is the equivalent to Naf Naf Grill in other places, which cannot be found in California. It is located in a small shopping plaza where most businesses are super busy. It makes this one look very quiet in comparison. However the food is surprisingly good. After we ordered from here for the first time, we ordered again the next day.“
“Darya Persian Restaurant in Orange County offers a dining experience that is generally commendable, catering to those who appreciate authentic Persian cuisine. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the Barg and Chicken Kabob, both of which were cooked to perfection, offering a symphony of flavors that delighted the palate. However, it's worth noting that the Koobideh Kabob fell short of expectations. Traditionally known for its tenderness and juiciness, the Koobideh served during my visit was unfortunately not up to the mark in these aspects, and its taste diverged from the traditional flavor profile one would anticipate. Despite this, the overall experience at Darya Persian Restaurant was positive, making it a worthy destination for enthusiasts of Persian cuisine in Orange County.“
“It's a chain and it has that Panda Express/Chiptole set up, BUT the food is good and a great deal in this economy. It's also a healthy alternative to getting junkier foods. It's in the same plaza as Walmart, but still plenty of parking. When you get inside, you get in line, and when you get to the counter you let the employee know what you'd like to order. I usually get the plate and I've attempted to order fries as a side, but every time I do they either don't have any or they have a dinky amount left :( All in all though, it's pretty tasty and a quick meal when I don't feel like cooking.“
“We went here after a night at the beach. I had this before in SF but still wanted to check this one out. I got the combo platter with chicken and beef. I saw some complaints on here about the portions but I'ma a big dude and it was definitely enough for me. My wife got the sandwich and fries. Everything worked out. I would return if in the area.“
“Mozambique in Laguna Beach provides a truly delightful dining experience that goes beyond just good food. The menu is infused with flavorful dishes, each presented beautifully, making every bite a delight. The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for a special night out. What really set our visit apart was the service provided by our server, Greg. His attention to detail, friendly demeanor, and professional service were outstanding and truly deserving of a five-star rating. It’s a must-visit spot for anyone looking to enjoy a fantastic meal in a beautiful setting.“
“So my lady and I love fried chicken, and our favorite place closed down a month or so ago. We’ve tried, no exaggeration, SEVEN other hot chicken places around OC… this was the best. Chicken was juicy, seasoning was done right, fries were tasty, and I really enjoyed the Mac salad too, cold and kinda refreshing to cut through the spice of chicken. It was a nice combo. Only thing I would suggest to the restaurant, food wise, is maybe a slightly softer/lighter flavored brioche, (this one faintly reminded me of a wheat bread for some reason), but that was very minor. The food overall is VERY good. Business owner suggestion also… the floor could be a brighter color, better lighting/some cool neon, tables could’ve been cleaner, bathroom needed an air vent/freshener because they both smelled a bit (but were still clean inside) and more comfortable seating.. but ultimately, we go to a restaurant for the food, and I WILL DEFINITELY be coming back here because this chicken beat out 7 other places I’ve tried in the last month! ???? Give this place a try for sure.“
“Great flavor, amazingly fast service! Will definitely come again. They don't skimp and try to wait you out like most Korean BBQ all you can eat do. By the way, those that call this expensive, you're crazy. This is a hell of a value compared to most restaurants across the country.“
“The people here are so nice, excellent service every time. Also the food is delicious!Vegetarian options: FalafelDietary restrictions: HalalKid-friendliness: There's a large outdoor area in front with umbrella coveringsWheelchair accessibility: The inside of the restaurant is quite wide. Not sure about their public bathroom though.“
“Great place to eat some traditional North Indian breakfast. It tastes delicious and takes you back to memory lane with the same flavor and food aroma back from India or Pakistan. Portions are well sized for us tasty. We have been there so many times, but it isn't enough. We go there every year, especially during Ramadan. Totally recommend.“
“Manu was our server and was incredibly helpful, friendly, and kind. He was attentive to our table and treated us well. The food was delicious and the ambiance was nice. White table cloth and classy table dressings. I would definitely recommend this spot to locals and visitors like us. Also in a great walkable area to shopping and the beach. Thanks again Manu“
