“The best place to try Bosnian food! I can’t pick one favorite, from cevapi to pizza to pita , this food taste like homemade. All employees are nice and friendly, but the owner is an amazing human being, so humble and approachable, honest and relatable, love chatting with him every time we visit Cali, which is usually 2-3 times a year and we make sure we eat lunch and dinner at Sofra Urbana every day. See you soon! Can’t wait for the most delicious Bosnian food on the west side of the United States.“

“Tried this gem for the first time today! Fall off the bone chicken and salmon Alfredo with fresh vegetables was delicious. The staff was friendly and gracious. Definitely a new favorite!“

“They're lentil soup is absolutely delightful. You can't beat their lunch specials, and if your not getting some of their baklava before you leave your outta your damn mind. So good... so authentic. My BF is Turkish and we come here when he needs a little slice of home.“

“Great service, fantastic food, friendly atmosphere! Loved everything about the place. Can't wait to come back.“

“We recently used Moonlight Pizza&Chicken’s catering service for our event, and everything exceeded our expectations! They prepared a wide variety of dishes, and every single item was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I had tried their baklava before, which was amazing and one of the reasons I decided to use their catering and they definitely did not disappoint. The food was beautifully prepared, our guests loved it, and the service was professional and reliable. I highly recommend Moonlight Pizza & Chicken catering for anyone looking for delicious food and a stress free catering experience. Thank you for helping make our event so special!“

“I can't believe someone gave them one star. Luna Grill has excellent service, the place is always packed, and it's VERY clean. I am a mail carrier and I come here often. I am also deaf. Alex, who has served me many of times, wears a shirt with sign language on it, which really touched my heart. He didn't know I was deaf, but the gesture really touched me. Paige took my order today, and what I've noticed about her is that she's ALWAYS smiling. Actually, they all always greet the customers with a smile. Those giving one star must stay angry all the time, because this place is top notch. This is UC Irvine 35. Let me say this. The place is so popular that by noon, it's packed. They have Uber Eats workers, Door Dash carrying dozens of orders out. So many orders that the Uber Eats worker needs a buggy. I pause and take my lunch early to avoid the lunch crowd, and they STILL get the orders out fast.

P.S. someone put in their bad review that Luna grill was out of water cups and that they only received a small portion of the chicken. Look over the rice. Look at the rice where the trail of chicken ends. You can tell there was chicken sitting on top of that rice. Try again.“

“This Cava was very clean, organized and efficient! We walked in and the staff were very helpful, Kalana was the one who helped us and she was very nice and friendly! Totally recommend coming to this Cava if you’re hungry and want a calm & friendly ambiance.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I visited Papa K in California and it was such a great experience! The Egyptian food is absolutely delicious – authentic, flavorful, and feels just like home. 😋 The portions are very generous, and the prices are really affordable, which makes it even better. The service was excellent; the staff were so kind, welcoming, and always smiling, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for real Egyptian cuisine. I’ll definitely be back! ♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ زرت مطعم Papa K في كاليفورنيا وكانت تجربة أكثر من رائعة! الأكل المصري عندهم لذيذ جدًا – طعمه أصيل ومليان نكهات وكأنك في مصر بالظبط. 😋 كمان كميات الأكل كبيرة جدًا والأسعار مناسبة وفي متناول اليد، وده بيخلي التجربة أحلى وأحلى. الخدمة ممتازة؛ الموظفين في منتهى اللطف والترحاب، ودايمًا بيستقبلوا بابتسامة، وده بيخلي الجو دافي ومريح. بجد أنصح أي حد عايز يجرب الأكل المصري الأصيل إنه يزور المكان، وأنا أكيد هرجع تاني ♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Everything we tried was a 10/10! The combo plate we chose had beef kofta and kabab and it was incredibly tender and perfectly medium rare. Also came with two sides (so amazing that you get to choose) The salad + potato salad was so refreshing. 🥗 The chicken wrap was crispy on the edges, juicy, and packed with spices. 🌯 It pairs well with the garlic sauce. (put it on everything) 🧄 I loved the dessert which had baklava with pistachio sauce! 🍽 the staff is friendly, and you get a massive plate of food for a great price.“

“😀This restaurant is awesome, the food tastes great, the ingredients are made fresh daily from scratch, and the menu is so rich with a lot of varieties you will love, especially the reasonably priced dishes. The service is top notch, and the chef, Mr Cotch is the best. The atmosphere is very pleasant and inviting, it's a great place to have events and parties, dine in, or call and order by phone. I highly recommend it to everyone who enjoys authentic middle eastern cuisine. Cheers.“

“I got the strawberry banana shake with plant based protein and a couple add-ons (I forgot what they were) and a side of electrolytes before I went to the gym. Everything was great and I'd go back without question, because it's one of very few health conscious smoothie places on Google maps that tends to my high cholesterol and high blood pressure.“

My boyfriend got a beef wrap and I got a chicken Shawarma wrap. I have never had that quality of chicken Shawarma in my life. The spices and flavors were amazing and overall we had a super nice lunch. Highly recommend stopping by and trying their food. We will definitely be back the next time we are in the area.“

“The Kebab Shop is conveniently located in a shipping area near Trader Joe's with ample parking. Ordering at the counter was a snap and the staff was very professional and friendly helping us with our first visit. We decided to try one of their wraps with lamb and steak. After ordering, the staff invited to try some of their choices of yogurt topping. It was a short wait at our table and then our name was called.

The wrap was good sized and filled with lots of meat. I added dill yogurt topping and took a bite; mm mm, so good! The combination of the topping, lamb and fresh veggies were fantastic.

I really enjoyed it and can't wait to go back.“

“Excellent Little Restaurant in Newport Beach. I had the Ground Beef and Ground Chicken Kabob. Was Awesome. Their Garlic Sauce they served with my meal was really good. The folks in here were super friendly. Thank you for a great experience and meal.“

“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 food is definitely better in Hawaii 😬
We tried the tacos our super sweet waitress recommended, and they were actually really good, super crispy and different from anything I’ve had before.
I got the mushroom ravioli, and it just wasn’t it… the pasta was thick and you couldn’t taste the mushrooms at all. My husband ordered a burger and said it was fine, but honestly, he thinks Burger King tastes better.
The woman who took care of us was amazing super friendly, warm, and really attentive. I’m giving it 4 stars just because of the staff.“

“The BEST pita chips and hummus!“

“Fantastic authentic food and service. Can't wait to go back.“

“Good portions and good food and reasonable prices with friendly service“

“We ordered catering from The Green Olive for our Lab Christmas lunch and had a wonderful experience. We spoke directly with the owner, who was extremely kind, professional, and accommodating throughout the process. The food quality and quantity were outstanding truly a 10 out of 10. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal, and it was perfectly prepared and presented. We will definitely be returning to The Green Olive for future events and highly recommend them.“
