    Gyro Plate
    Nana K.

    Barcode may be a lounge, but they also offer takeout. Yum! Our combo plates were delicious from here. I got their kabob plate, and it was delicious. There was some confusion in our order, and I got the wrong plate, but no complaints. Their steak kabob was so tender and flavorful. Absolutely love their rice as well. They are very generous with their sides. We had leftovers for the next day. The whole process of ordering and picking up was very smooth. Best of all, our food was still warm and tasty!

    Coming to a hookah lounge for food?? Its in a plaza with sake2me so plenty of parking. The seats can be a bit tight but u can fit bigger groups, very chill ambiance. Its very casual, service kind have to flag/find them, but they do add a lot of charcoal and mouth pieces are available, but they don't really give a tutorial. Its okay price when splitting with a group if you aren't a fiend. Anyways the main point food! Very homecooked style like stuff i would make in my kitchen at home. Probably isn't meant to be a restaraunt.. given lounge. But had good cheese and lots of veg toppings.

    Newly discovered place for us. We've come back here a few times for lunch already and every time the food is great, lunch portions are generous and a great value. Service is awesome as well

    When quality talks its hard to find words to explain it! If you love Persian food and you want to feel you are in Iran this is the right place to be! Their pizzas are Persian %100 style! I love their grilled chicken. It melts in your mouth! The service is always beyond your expectations! They are always very busy but they are pretty fast! Ambiance is very young and chill! You'll see lot of people smoking Huka and playing cards, backgammon and etc! There is a parking spots outside so you are not going to suffer to find a place to park your car! Their sandwich تنوری is always what we order and pizzaمخلوط

    Right in between the Culinary Lab and Bizakis Furs.

    I have to tell you, when you walk up to this place and see the plastic covering for their outdoor space, it is not encouraging. The plastic has seen better days and it makes you wonder what will be inside. Well, inside was definitely nicer and the owner/server/host who took care of us was definitely friendly and inviting. We happened to be the first party to arrive that day. It was threating to rain but the covered outdoor space looked inviting. We picked a table and he cleaned it again before we sat (it already looked clean to me but this was nice). He also quickly grabbed one of their space heaters and brought it over. They work fast and it got too warm quickly. He returned and adjusted it perfectly. After the second half of our party arrived, we decided to move inside. Small indoor space, about four table and a long bench seat along the wall. But, since we were early, it was easy to pick one that worked for us. No paper menus, QR code only. LARGE portions, all cooked perfectly. We had a nice mix so each of us could try something different. The Ground Beef Kabobs - juicy and flavorful. The barg - excellent. Gyro plate meat was good but definitely needed the tzatziki sauce. LARGE portions of the rice and salad with each. Rice was fresh and flavorful, the salad was excellent (many of the other Mediterranean dressings are too tart, this one was great). The tomatoes disappeared quickly. We all had enough leftovers for another meal...or possibly two! We had a great time and, even though we knew it was a hookah lounge, didn't smell a thing other than our food. We were surprised when we were leaving that there were three guys in the up front / covered outdoor area, enjoying their hookahs and we never smelled a thing (this is a big deal for my wife as she can tell when they neighbors are cooking when they lite the stove!). In short, well, in long, it was much better than the initial walk up view would indicate, we definitely will return when in the area and if you are in the mood for some great Mediterranean food, give them a try. Enjoy!!!

    I recently moved to the area and I LOVE hookah so I had to find a local spot. I've visited Barcode The Lounge three times now and it's always a positive experience. Note: Most spots around here do not serve hard liquor AND hookah. Keep in mind they will only have wine and beer here. Food: 10/10 tbh - well seasoned, unique menu, balanced flavors and good portions for the price point. The lunch specials start at $10. Hookah: 10/10 - good price point and large flavor selection. They also use cubed charcoal for a better smoking experience. Some people say the price is high but I lived in Atlanta so it's comparable in my opinion. Service: 10/10 - they're attentive, knowledgeable and kind. As a single woman, I visit on lunch sometimes and am able to go to the restroom while the staff ensures my belongings are safe. Ambiance: 10/10 good patio and indoor seating. Beautiful tunes. It's just a great place to be!

    The food was good, but for Persian style pizza, the portion size could have been a bit larger. The quality of the pizza was excellent.

    Beef Shish Kabob

    I found Barcode on Yelp while searching for Persian restaurants during a work trip. The restaurant is located in a small shopping complex with plenty of parking spaces. It's casual, nice, big seating area, tvs, music, heaters, and accessible entrance. Coming in you get the feeling they have put in the effort to make it a nice and welcoming place for a meal. I ordered their house Cabernet and Beef Shish Kabob plate. The food was plenty for one person but not enough to share. Food was hot, presented nicely, and came out in a short while; it is important to note that they make the food fresh upon order, so it can be a minute before the food comes out. I enjoyed the rice and the Kabobs for my dinner and it was everything I had hoped for. The salad on the side was a nice surprise! The wine, however, missed the mark. It was easy to sip but for the price wasn't worth it (too basic). The server who helped me seemed new but he was nice and put in the effort to take care of me. I recommend Barcode The Lounge, especially if you come with friends! I will come again soon!

    My friends and I went there tonight for the first time, and we had a great experience! My friends ordered Pizza, and I had the Koobideh everything was delicious and service was great. The staff were super friendly, whole place had a really nice vibe. We'll definitely be coming back, and I recommend it to others!

    Combo Kabob Plate
    A. Adam S.

    Tustin's Barcode Lounge! Made fresh to order Mediterranean food with an upbeat indoor outdoor ambiance. Recommend trying the combo plate with both chicken kabob and beef koobideh. Been a customer for this location for several years, it has always been consistent. The barcode pizza is also a hit. The outdoor patio also has several tv's that are used for providing visual entertainment. This location is also known for being a great hookah lounge. All in all, a great option for tasty food accompanied with a relaxing but also upbeat lounge hangout ~

    This place is great for a casual hangout with good food and hookah. Their service is also good. Patio with heaters to keep you warm and comfortable.

Items such as bolani, koobideh, and other menu offerings are more commonly associated with Afghan and Persian culinary traditions. Although the menu also includes Mediterranean staples such as falafel, shawarma, and hummus, those dishes seem to represent a smaller portion of the overall selection. The mint lemonade was not very sweet, which is a matter of personal preference. I also found the color unusually vibrant, and after sitting for a while, the drink began to separate, which I found somewhat unexpected. The pizza was disappointing. It reminded me of a typical store-bought pizza, and I have had frozen pizzas that offered better flavor and quality. The beef koobideh and beef kebab were decent and enjoyable, but they did not particularly stand out compared to similar dishes available at other local restaurants. Service was somewhat disappointing during our visit. The hostess/server appeared to be managing a large number of tables on her own and seemed genuinely overwhelmed at times. While the overall service experience was not as attentive as I would have liked, it appeared to be more a matter of staffing or workload than a lack of effort on her part. The highlight of the experience was the patio. It is a pleasant space to relax, enjoy a cup of tea, and spend time outdoors. For me, the atmosphere was stronger than the food itself.
