“I had an amazing dining experience at Halalglu Turkish Restaurant in Costa Mesa. Not only is the food authentic, fresh, and bursting with flavor, but the staff is truly incredible! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The team was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure our dining experience was perfect.

Every dish was cooked to perfection. The spices and fresh ingredients brought out the best in every bite. The atmosphere was welcoming and cozy, making it a great spot for any occasion.

As a halal restaurant, it’s also a top choice for those looking for delicious and quality halal options. I highly recommend Halalglu to anyone in Costa Mesa looking for outstanding Turkish cuisine and impeccable service. I’ll definitely be returning!“

“Love this place, we try to go and have breakfast every Sunday.“

“I had an outstanding experience at DonerG, where they beautifully blend the authentic flavors of Turkish cuisine with vibrant Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences. I opted for the Original Fladenbrot sandwich with beef, and added chicken as well. Both meats were incredibly well-seasoned, tender, and bursting with flavor. You can truly appreciate the freshness and quality of the ingredients in every bite. The ambiance of the restaurant was welcoming and warm, making it an ideal spot whether you're grabbing a quick bite or enjoying a meal with a larger group. Special mention to Eduardo and Saadi, who were attentive and provided excellent service, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be returning for another delicious meal!“

“Coffee is really good! The turkish bagel (Simit) is THE best in California!!! We got a turkish breakfast plate, shakshuka, and the cheese omelette and everything was amazing. Great service and the owner is super cute :)
They also have amazing eclairs - a must try!“

“Magnificent!!! ❤️Delicious,Fresh,Tasty. Excepcional products , wonderful service 👏🏻 , this is a Place you need to know . 😋“

“PS this is in a shared restaurant called Healthy Bistro, and they both get a joint highest recommendation. I wish they were everywhere, instead of ff chains (that I do not patronize.

SO good. I had the eggplant special, but first I wanted to try something more adventurous. The spicy meatballs with marinara and sour cream (??) did not disappoint. The lentil soup... the (complimentary) baklava... salad, millet(?)... everything was superb.

Sorry to deduct for the atmosphere. I'm used to the country, I think. Actually, I'll put a star back, because the kitchen is all right in front of your face. They're not hiding.“
