“🔥🔥 🔥 REMON, YOU HAVE CHANGED THE GAME!!! 💥💥 💥 MIND-BLOWN 🤯 ? … ✅ ✅✅ I’m sooo in awe of the experience I just had at his restaurant, literally minutes ago. He literally CURED ME with one of THE MOST AROMATIC, FLAVORFUL, & DISHES EVER! Tas2Go… has REDEFINED: … comfort food, … fast food, … authenticity, … wholesomeness, … small business, … deliciousness, … high quality ingredients, … passion-inspired dishes, & … start-up exponential growth! (and growing) This is one of those foodie experiences you just have to have to say that you lived!!! My senses are have been in high alert since I first bit into my hawawshi! It’s like haunting 👻 me how immediate my senses were infused with a “ratatouille” ✨of flavors and aromas! As I was driving away, I debated turning back for seconds and still am as we’re quickly approaching closing time in 52 minutes and counting!!!! Will definitely be back (as I cringe thinking this is my newest addiction and inevitably where all my money will go)! Well done, Remon! Well done! 🏆“

Highly recommend if you're craving Pakistani cafe type of food and drinks!“

“Love love love the food , great dinner I fly out here just for this place“

“Good food. Very friendly people at along Beach location. 😊“

“chicken perfection, but questionable wait time; got the single tender option, not too crisp, very juicy-tender with a lovely spring of flavour that plays nicely with the bread and serves as a solid base for the tangy-savory sauce. now the wait was way too long for such a simple order, and the place wasn't even busy? still, the chicken is good enough to come back for 😛“

“I was there in California from another state. We ordered jalapeños beef burgers, halwa puri platters, beef seekh kabobs with rice platter, masala fries, mango lassi and sweet lassi. Each and every single food item was fresh and hot, seekh kabobs were so juicy and perfect flavor, cholay were soft and with some light gravy to eat with puri. Aalo were soft yet some small size chunks in plate with light gravy, and halwa that you just don’t want to stop eating. My kids are very picky eaters but they loved each and every single thing we ordered from this restaurant. Beef burger was so yummy that my daughter kept ordering the next time we went there again. We ended up going 3 times in our 1 week trip. We tried their fried chicken the third day, oh my gosh it’s just one of the best fried chicken ever. We were so glad that we were able to find a halal restaurant with all the choices at one place for our kids and adults. Last but not the least, their prices were very reasonable and the staff was very nice and friendly.“

“Best Turkish food that is easy flavorful consistent and never misses. I love this place“

“I recently visited Afghan Kabob House, and it delivered a flavorful and authentic introduction to Afghan cuisine in the Downey area. The restaurant has a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that reflects the warm hospitality commonly associated with Afghan dining. The space is simple and comfortable, allowing diners to focus primarily on the food and the traditional flavors that define the cuisine.

Afghan cooking is known for its balance of aromatic spices, grilled meats, and rice-based dishes, and the menu here reflects those traditions well. Kabobs are clearly one of the highlights. The meats were marinated with a blend of spices and grilled carefully to achieve both tenderness and a slight char from the open flame. The result was flavorful without being overly heavy, allowing the natural quality of the meat to stand out.

Another standout element of the meal was the rice dishes, particularly the long-grain basmati rice that accompanies many Afghan plates. Afghan rice preparation is often elevated with subtle spices, raisins, or carrots that add texture and gentle sweetness. The rice served alongside the kabobs provided a perfect balance to the savory grilled meats and helped create a complete and satisfying meal.

The menu also included traditional sides and sauces that complemented the main dishes well. Yogurt-based sauces and fresh salads added brightness to the plate, while the use of herbs and mild spices created layered flavors that felt both comforting and distinctive.

Service during the visit was friendly and welcoming. The staff maintained a relaxed and approachable attitude, which helped make the experience feel comfortable for diners who might be new to Afghan cuisine. Their willingness to explain dishes added to the overall sense of hospitality.

The atmosphere reflects the character of a neighborhood restaurant where authenticity and flavor take priority over elaborate presentation. It is the kind of place where guests can enjoy traditional recipes prepared with care and consistency.

Overall, Afghan Kabob House offers a well-executed Afghan dining experience with flavorful grilled meats, aromatic rice dishes, and welcoming service. It stands out as a strong option for anyone interested in exploring Afghan cuisine in the Downey area.“

“The food is pretty good, with a huge variety and different ways to dine in with chicken. I especially love their sauces, its to die for. I loved the service as well, I had a worker named Rory who brightened my day with small talk. Not only that they were able to get my order up fast and easy with no complications and even after giving me my food, a big 'ol thank you and have a nice day from Rory made me feel comfortable in the space. All and all amazing place to dine for fast food- would try again!“

“well good food great service“

“Great food. Very Happy I stopped there for dinner. I will be going back there again soon.“

“I recently tried Kimo’s Shawarma and it was honestly one of the best shawarma spots I’ve been to. The meat was incredibly flavorful, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, and you can tell everything is made fresh. The garlic sauce was rich and creamy without being overpowering, and it paired perfectly with the warm, soft pita.

The portions were generous, especially for the price, and the staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The place itself was clean and had a relaxed, casual vibe.

If you’re craving authentic, delicious shawarma with great service and value, this place is definitely worth checking out. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Great food same like karachi. Halal for Muslim brothers.“

“Delighted by my midday visit to Urban Punjab in garden grove for a lunch at 3 PM—serendipity in its timing as they were open and welcoming. Tucked away in a modest shopping center that also boasts a superb shawarma joint, this place is a hidden treasure. The tandoori chicken and dal makhani I savored transported my taste buds straight to the streets of Delhi with their authentic, extraordinary flavors. The lacha paratha? Simply genius. Service was extraordinary, matched by the unique touch of serving drinks in metal, regal glasses that elevate the dining experience to one of noble indulgence. Having the pleasure of meeting both owners, their dedication was evident in every aspect. I'm looking forward to a return visit with loved ones in tow, ready to embark on a culinary expedition through their entire menu. Heartfelt thanks to Urban Punjab for a five-star experience.“

“I missed it so I had to do a U Turn. But let me say this, sometimes we think “oh that taste good for a cheap pizza “ well this isn’t the scenario here. The price is very affordable and the pizza is better than any chain pizza. Also better than most pizzas in the area. I highly recommend it. You can’t beat the price. The pizza has a strong hint of garlic which I don’t mind. I drove from Irvine and when I finished the pizza thought about driving back for another one! It was so good!! They do not do mediums here! Just fyi“

“Great workers great food 10/10“

“This place may fool you by it’s size but the quality of the meat is amazing, perfectly cooked and so flavorful, crisp salad and the whole plate put together fresh and tasty ✨ definitely my new go to!!! Customer service is friendly and fast 💨“

“I got the Tikka masala pizza and garden salad as takeout and everything was delicious. It was some of the best pizza I've ever had and the salad was a larger portion than I was expecting for $8. I arrived about a minute before the order was estimated to be done and I had to wait about two minutes before it was ready. I can't wait to go back and try everything else.“

“Stop by for a quick lunch, Dave's great as always I've tried different locations and its always been a pleasure

Tried something new this time, wanted to try the hot moz but sold out!

So the regular top loaded fries instead, it was great, very well seasoned, very flavorful,

Recommended!“

“I love the Salmon bowl! I’m attracted to the Kids eat free Mon-Thursday. I like the kids play area. It’s inside or outside. I will be back for many terrific reasons!“

“generous portions and very patient and kind staff! and the food is great too!“

“The food was delicious, and the flavors were the same as when I tried them in Indonesia. I would recommend for anyone looking for Halal traditional and freshly made and super delicious Indonesian dishes. I suggest getting the ‘Sate Campur’.“

“This was our very first time ever eating Dave’s Hot Chicken and for our first experience it was so perfect! We got lucky and got a chance to snag THE FALLOUT meal! We have been going to so many locations for it and it was SOLD OUT! The staff was so nice to us and we can’t wait to come back again. We got the meal to go but saw how clean and cool this location was so we decided to stay in and eat! Our food was DELICIOUS and I would recommend to come here! We for sure will come again!“

“Love going to Dave's Hot Chicken! Today they messed up a little and gave me Medium instead of Mild so I decided to try it hehe It was pretty good a little hot but very tasty. Always when I go to this location Juila most of time is there and she was today also and is always very friendly and helpful! I gave 5 stars today still because the food was very yummy and sometime a mistake can turn it to something that was meant to be :)“

“Everything is delicious & authentic. It’s as if it were made by my own Lebanese family. Diverse menu options - so if you do or don’t eat meat - you will find lots of yummy options.“

“Good service, good food friendly staff“

“Best burger in town !!! 🍔“

“Great and Tasty Halal Food in town.“

“BETWEEN THE REVIEWS w/ Rodney S

Q) So, Rodney, where did you go for lunch?
A) To Pak.

Q) 2pac?! The rapper?!
A) No, to Pak. I went to Pak Halal in Artesia.

Q) Oh, I see. Was this your first time visiting?
A) Yes, Rodney. A few Muslim gym buddies o' mine kept recommending Pak Halal, so of course I had to give the place a shot.

Q) What did you order?
A) Being my first time, I gave the Special Dishes display a thorough perusing.

Knowing I wanted a beef or mutton entree, after much thought & deliberation, I went all in on Pak Halal's Beef Nihari.

Q) Rodney, how was the Beef Nihari?
A) Spiced tender beef, swimming in flavorful broth. I enjoyed the Beef Nihari. I prefer a solid amount of fat to meat, and the Beef Nihari had just what I was looking for. Ample portions, with enough to fill up on. Speaking of filling up, the ginormous Garlic Naan provided a lot of garlicky carbs, made all the more better when soaking up with the Beef Nihari broth

Q) How was the service, and what are the seating arrangements?
A) Rodney, the service was good. The wait wasn't unreasonable. Being a small deli, there is a table or two inside & outside. Pak Halal is more an order ahead, grab n' go eatery. The railing outside Pak Halal acts as a standing communal table, in which I used to dine on my meal.

Q) Rodney, would you recommend Pak Halal?
A) Absolutely, Rodney! The food was great at Pak Halal, and when I'm in a hurry and not looking for a sit-down restaurant experience, I know I can head over to Pak Halal and order something to go, or enjoy a quick meal on the railing, before life's troubles beckon me, elsewhere“

“todo muy rico, excelente trato y no tuve que esperar tanto 😋“

“fantastic food!! awesome cook owner! highly recommend!“

“Making the most out of this Covid-19 situation for pick-up. Order was secure, exact, and made fresh. They were backed up as when I first got there they were a little short staffed as The Friday Dinner rush was starting, but they kept their cool, their extra hand showed up, and they did well. Just make yourself visible so they got your name assuming you pre-ordered for pick-up. The short wait will not disappoint. And they definitely didn't forget my white sauce - always my biggest fear as it's truly the essence of this place!“

“We first found Big Al's Pizzeria on IG. All of their pizzas caught our eye because of the unique flavors that they serve. We know that often times when you see something on IG and go experience a place in person it may not be as expected. That was NOT the case with Big Al's Pizzeria. WOW!! Can't even tell you how much they exceeded our expectations when it came to the flavors and textures that they deliver. You can tell that they use High Quality, Fresh Ingredients and take pride in their creations, especially with everything being homemade!! I know a lot of people say that it takes a while to receive their pizza but we can tell you IT IS WORTH THE WAIT AND CALORIES!! The combinations on their pizzas are next level and so fun and unique! The pizza dough has the perfect fluffiness, chewy texture and flavor. The wings WOW! Definitely in our top 5 of favorites! So crispy and flavorful! OOh plus the Brisket Sandwich and the bread they use... ufffff!!! Don't forget about Dessert! Even if you fill up on pizza you better at least take a slice home with you because IT IS WORTH IT!! They are large, creamy, flavorful and just AMAZEBALLS! We got the Tiramisu and it was NEXT LEVEL! Everything is OUT OF THIS WORLD and we can't recommend them enough!“

“honestly my favorite hot chicken spot. super glad to have one within 5 minutes of me!“

“Everything fiat heads and sweets“
