“I wasn’t sure how nachos would be from a pizza spot, but omg am I glad I ordered them anyway! They’re delicious. Much better than a lot of spots that are strictly Mexican food. I ordered delivery directly through the restaurant and it was really fast. Thank you so much! ☺“

“Absolutely delicious. If you are looking to try something new. Don’t hesitate. I can’t wait to go back. Portions are good. You could share but you won’t want to. Yum.. Price is great. I’m a happy customer. And I’m sure you will be to.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Hidden gem 💎 ✨. Amazing authentic Persian food that just getting better by every bite . Very nice staff friendly and fast . I was amazed by taste of the koobide and quality rice .

Jenny was very friendly and professional, and made the whole experience smooth and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back!“

“People say this restaurant offers delicious, fresh food with a wide variety of healthy and customizable options, including flavorful braised lamb and harissa honey chicken. They also highlight the reasonable prices and generous portions, especially for dine-in orders. Visitors consistently praise the staff for being friendly, helpful, and providing excellent, fast service in a clean and welcoming environment.“

“My experience at CAVA was spectacular! I came in and it was very clean and comfortable. I then joined the line and asked my server Autumn what she recommends because everything looked great . She then asked my preferences and ended up serving me the best Cava bowl ever with grains + protein + and even greens! I am overall very pleased and will be coming back again!“

“Always like coming here for a quick, fresh lunch while I’m working on UCI campus. I especially like the salads - falafel on a Mediterranean salad is delicious. Very friendly staff!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.“

“Shout out to Baran Mediterranean restaurant. We had a superbowl/ 50th birthday party yesterday and everything was literally perfect. Food/staff/ decorations/ cake, everything was perfect. 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. Owners are pretty amazing too, super friendly and down to earth. Thank you Baran!!!!❤️“

“SO good! Highly recommend the ground beef hawawshy & bbq chicken american savory. We devoured ours.“

“🥰 love the salmon plate!!!“

“This terrific restaurant has been my go-to choice for Mediterranean food in the Whittier-La Mirada area for years. Their plates are pretty to look at and filling. Today my wife and I split a kofta plate and a lamb pita sandwich. The kofta in a particular was wonderfully spiced and tender. Though we did not order it today, they have the best falafel. They also do a great job with large catering orders. We've used them for parties in the past, and our guests always came away happy“

“First time here and what a delicious surprise. Ordered a Mediterranean chicken Doner Wrap and it was great. Decent portion, the combination of ingredients plus the garlic aioli sauce made my day.
And also the servers were so attentive too.
Highly recommended!“

“Un buen servicio y la comida rica“

“My family went out and had a great experience. I had a chicken shawarma plate and it tasted very good. The portions are a decent size and we have leftovers for tomorrow. We also had walnut baclava and it was very good. Not only was the food fantastic but the atmosphere was also great. The owner was very nice and took care of our needs during our visit. Definitely would recommend this place.“

“Food is consistently good, service is great, had the chicken kebab and Barramundi plate, both were excellent. Will be back!“

“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.“

“I never thought vegan food would be so yummy! I got the potato salad and the "favorite dish" of the super nice young man who owns the business. I would definitely recommend it!!!“

“Amazing place and great people! The taste of the foods were impeccable. We went near the closing time and unfortunately the food served was cold. When I told them about it, they made a new one! Shows how well they care for their customers. Will definitely go back soon. Their Jerusalem bread+chicken shwarma is to die for 😁😁😁“

“Pam & Olive is such a great Mediterranean restaurant! The service was amazing from start to finish. A special shoutout to Lou—one of the best servers there. So friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“We stopped by for a quick dinner, and everything we ordered was delicious. The food was flavorful and had a homemade feeling to it. We got a side of hummus & pita (surprised at how reasonably priced this was!). I got chicken shawarma plate with cabbage salad & tzatziki, and my husband got the kefta plate. Everything was so good! It’s small place, more for a quick bite or take out. Will definitely be back! They offer family size orders also.“

“Great place and healthy food . Portion is big too“

“Delicious food! We loved it !“

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

“we are from Alaska so we maybe fresh fish snobs... but this was absolutely delish, fast, and priced great. highly recommend so glad we stumbled upon ot!“
