“I love Greek/Mediterranean food. This was the best I've had at a sit down restaurant. The chicken shish kebab rivaled a homemade skewer grilled over charcoal - it was absolutely delicious! I want the garlic sauce that came with it in a bottle. The restaurant had a limited number of menus and I came alone, so I had to wait for someone else at another table to finish with theirs, the food took a little long to come out, and the baseboards in the dining area are a bit dirty. Bathroom was clean and everyone was very kind. Would definitely go back!“

“Absolutely amazing German-style Döner!
This place is a hidden gem — finally, real Döner in the U.S. The meat is perfectly seasoned, the bread is just right, and the sauces taste authentic. Generous portions and super fair prices make it even better. Tastes just like back home in Germany. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“First time here as my mom wanted me to try it. Came here on a Tuesday lunch and there's plenty of tables available, no wait. We got seated right away.

I ordered the Roma tomato soup bowl and it's a bit bigger than normal which I enjoyed. The soup was delicious. I also ordered the Margherita Pizza as I wanted some grill cheese to go with the tomato soup and this was the closest thing. It was pretty good. My parents ordered the portobello mushroom ravioli and the ginger sesame salad. The ravioli was a bit too heavy but the salad was very flavorful.

Our waiter was awesome!

Overall: I wouldn't mind coming again if my parents wanted to.“

“Came across this restaurant somehow. So I have decided to give it a try. It’s a small, cozy restaurant. Surprisingly food was good, and the restaurant very generous with the bottomless mimosa on a Sunday brunch. The champagne pour into the glass till it’s almost full. Leave only a little bit room to add the juice of your choice which was pineapple, guava, orange juice I forgot 1 more with just $19.99. It’s so cheap compare to other restaurants that offer bottomless mimosa starting at least $22 and up. Our server Gustavo was very nice, very attentive. There’s some parking in front and there are some in the back. I was there at 12pm so I found it ok. Not difficult at all. Not sure about dinner time. They do offer dinner menu as well on a Sunday brunch if you are interested you can ask for both menu to decide. For us, we ordered everything on dinner menu. lol.“

The people are super nice. This place is a hidden gem in Costa Mesa. I come here for breakfast mostly but they have a great burger for lunch and don't get me started on their coffee. Everything I've had here hits. You will be happy you came here.“

“The service and food this evening for the 3 of us was wonderful! We came with no reservations but they found a way for us to dine inside and be finished within 1 hour. The steak scharma was wonderful. The humus and bubba gnonoush and garlic spread were wonderful too. I tried the kibbi nyeah. Was good but almost cream like. Not as meaty as I remember from the last time I had it it a few decades ago. It was spiced very mildly as well. They through in a baklava ice cream dish for our trouble. It was amazingly wonderful! Definitely coming back!“
