    We came to try Alien Doner and honestly, it was a great experience. The portions are very filling and the taste is excellent -- it really feels like authentic Turkish doner. Everything was served hot and fresh. For drinks, I personally prefer canned soda. They also have fountain soda, but since I came here mainly for the doner, it's not a big deal for me. There's parking available behind the building, which is convenient. The place is spacious, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit if you're craving real Turkish doner!

    Went here a while back since they close late. I tried to order, but there were no employees there. I then started an order using the kiosk, only to find out there was a mandatory convenience fee for using. Eventually, an employee came out. I asked if he could take my order, since I didn't want to pay the convenience fee. He told me "no." I said that is ridiculous to charge a mandatory convenience fee, even when the customer is okay with being inconvenience by not ordering through the kiosk. The food was solid. Delicious slices of beef with lots of flavor. Good portions. Soft rice.

    I've been on the hunt for a doner kebab this good for 20 years after living of them in Germany during the world cup in 2006. So stoked to finally find this gem not even a half mile from my office. I'll be a regular for sure.

    Beef Supernova (Iskender)

    Best tukish doner I've tried in OC, would recommend trying the beyti and iskender. Its open till late night and plenty of seating.

    Decent. 3 stars based on value. Feels like a little pricey for what you get. Will try something different next time.

    As a Turkish guy, I can say this is one of the best döner spots I've tried in the U.S. Tastes just like home..

    Fresh, flavorful, and such a great spot…read more We came in for lunch and were lucky enough to beat the rush. There are so many things on the menu that looked amazing, so it was hard to decide what to order. We went with the grilled shrimp entrée and the whitefish entrée, and both were cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. The entrées came with roasted vegetables and a side salad, and we opted for rice as well. Everything was nicely prepared and made for a satisfying meal that still felt light and healthy. My only personal preference would be to go a little lighter on the sauce over the shrimp. It was a bit heavier than I prefer, but the shrimp itself was fantastic. The salsa bar was delicious and had a great variety to choose from. And naturally, I had to add the baklava for something sweet after the meal. It was a lovely way to finish. The service was phenomenal. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which really added to the experience. There's clearly a lot to explore here, and I'm already planning what I'm ordering next. Definitely a new favorite.

The location is at the corner of a plaza but the outdoor patio is very clean and welcoming so an awesome place for eating while enjoying fresh air (a break from office routine). Great selection of protein tacos, including lobster, Mahi Mahi or shrimp and the salsa bar is fantastic with plenty of delicious options to choose from mild to spicy sauces. Definitely worth checking out for taco lovers! For weekends, I saw brunch menu! I need to come back!

The service is one of the many reasons we keep coming back. The servers recognize us and greet us like old friends, making every visit feel warm and personal. What makes this place even more special is that it's a family-owned business. The owners are often present, personally welcoming guests and ensuring everyone has a great dining experience. Their hospitality creates a welcoming atmosphere that keeps customers returning time and time again. My go-to meal is the Boneless Chicken Kabab served with basmati rice and a fresh Mediterranean salad. The chicken is incredibly flavorful, well marinated, and cooked to perfection every single time. I honestly don't know their secret, but the chicken is always juicy and tender, never dry like many other kabab places we've tried. Consistency is hard to find and they absolutely nail it. Another favorite of ours is the Koobideh Combo, which includes both Beef and Chicken Koobideh Kababs served with Mediterranean salad and your choice of basmati rice or rice mixed with lentils and raisins. The flavors are authentic, the portions are generous, and every bite is satisfying. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and service. It's no surprise that so many customers become regulars. The restaurant is usually packed during lunchtime, which speaks volumes about its popularity. We typically arrive around 11:30 AM to beat the lunch rush and enjoy a more relaxed dining experience. If you're looking for delicious Mediterranean food, friendly service, generous portions, and great value, this place is definitely worth a visit. It's one of those hidden gems that keeps us coming back every time we're in Costa Mesa.
