“i ordered the chopped cheese and fries, my sister ordered the platter. the gentleman behind the counter let us know it would take about 15 minutes which was not a problem because we weren't in a rush. the food came out hot and fresh. seasoning was on point, fries were perfect. it was more than enough food we actually took some home for lunch tomorrow. we did leave a little bit of room for dessert and got the baklava cheesecake. OMG!!!!! it was divine. wasnt too sweet like some places and none of the flavors overpowered any of the others. iit was our first time there and we will definitely be back.“

“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.“

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 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 ♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

There's nothing I would change or do differently. We had a party of 80 and everyone has been texting today saying how good the food was. Go try them out, you won't regret it.

And also the servers were so attentive too.
Highly recommended!“

Definitely would recommend this place.“

“This is our go-to place for great Mediterranean style food. Great food, and friendly employees, especially Cailyn and Jonathan! I miss the beef 'kafka' and kale salad, but the seasoned beef/lamb combo and the new salads are great too.
Keep it up.“

“This is one of the best restaurant in Rocklin. Food quality is very good and their service too.“

“This is actually our favorite restaurant. The food is always perfectly fresh and flavorful, and the owners are incredibly kind and friendly. Their falafel is the best I’ve ever had, and my husband LOVES the steak. The care that the owners put into their meals and service is evident, and it is a delight to be one of their customers. So grateful we stumbled upon this hidden gem.“

“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!“

“Favorite spot to eat Mediterranean food! Food is always delicious and environment is always clean. Vanesa C., is always super friendly and welcoming every time I’m there! She has great customer service and communication :) I always come back to this location!“

“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!“

“The Best of Mediterranean“

“I usually order online because I like to just grab my food and go. I work near the La Habra location, but I’m almost always disappointed there—they’re pretty stingy with the portions and my bowl is never exactly what I order.

The Brea location is completely different. Every bowl I’ve ordered has been a 10/10 with generous portions, fresh ingredients, and great consistency. I’d much rather stick to the Brea location because I know I’m getting a great meal every time!“

“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.“

“Seriously the absolute BEST Shawarma I’ve tasted! I got the 24” mix variety and loved being able to try both. Pro tip: Order next time you have friends/family over since they’re already cut and packaged perfectly. That’s what I’ll be doing ;)“

“Very good kebab wraps ( falafel or beef/lamb with salad. The garlic aioli was pretty delicious and tasty too. Staff are friendly and helpful.“
