My wife and my go-to for Greek food, especially Gyros. Great food. Although it changed hands in 2023, the new owners have stepped up and made our experience a good one. read more

Best garlicky hummus ever. I never had a problem with this place. Just wish you guys extend your evening hours.

Incredible quality and taste. I was craving some kabob and so glad my husband found this place. I was literally dancing while eating because it's that good. The chicken was tender, the hummus and pita by far the best I have ever had. I will definitely be back. Thank you for the great experience and food. Is your hummus made in house? read more

Looking for a hearty meal but still feels light and healthy? Go to Bravo Avo. After many years living in Foothill Ranch and driving by, we finally decided to try it. Large portions, flavorful dishes (beef and chicken kebabs), and the best baklava I've ever had. Owners are very friendly. I'm bummed it took so long for us to try them. read more

This place is family owned and you can tell they take great pride in their restaurant. Delicious food. Usually get take out kabobs and the lemon chicken soup. read more

I've been here once for lunch a couple years ago and just came recently for dinner. It looks like a mom & pop place and they seem to get a lot of carry out food. They seem to have a variety of options and they say their lamb is good. I'm just not a lamb fan. At lunch I had gotten a chicken wrap I believe. It was good. Like all the other Mediterranean places. I just thought it was a little pricy but all these places seem about the same. This time for dinner I got the Chicken a La Avo, spicy level 10 with no rIce so double salad. It was rather tasty. It wasn't 10 by any means but maybe for Mediterranean folks . The portion could be a little bigger again for the price. Generous on salad of course. Not overly dosed in dressing which is also a plus. You order at the counter and then go get a seat. Nice local restaurant that's worth a try. read more

Bravo Avo - Chicken a La Avo- spicy 10 with double salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Foothill Ranch, California

I don't really understand how this place has such a high rating, unless I just came on a bad day, but I would say either people in the area don't know what good Mediterranean food taste like (no offense) or these reviews are purchased. I've been to Greece and all through the Mediterranean and also eaten at Mediterranean restaurants throughout Southern California, and I would put this place near the bottom of all those experiences. The food was incredibly salty and dry and the service wasn't very inviting. I hope this review is taken as constructive criticism, I try to refrain writing bad reviews on small family owned businesses. read more

Excellent food and service! The owner is always friendly and it's apparent he takes pride in his recipes and the quality of every meal.

Love love the food! The owner is so nice:) def a must try... better than fast food and very healthy.

Delicious food! Great for take out to feed lots of people. Owners are very sweet as well! Nothing but good things to say about this place.

My family has loved Bravo Avo for years! They are my go to whenever we have 8 or so family members together. Their family dinner is so delicious! The meat is always so tender and moist and the sides are generous and so tasty! We are happy to support this locally owned business. read more

Great food hidden in this unsuspecting plaza, not the kind of place you would find the owner here, serving up authentic food made with love. I could eat the grape leaves all day, Greek Salad with chicken is also one of my go to meals here. Absolutely love this place. read more

We didn't even finish our plates. The gyro meat didn't seem fresh, and the moussaka with the "savory tomato sauce" and no bechamel was simply not good. The presentation was lack luster, my husband had the falafel plate, it was covered with scraps of ice berg lettuce, a slice of tomato, two cucumbers, and dollops of falafel over rice. My daughter who loves gyro and usually eats several pieces of pita, took one bite. Very disappointing considering we spent $60 for mediocre food. read more

Wonderful little place with great service and food. I had the Kabob Combo and chicken was moist and the steak tender. Bakalava was great too! Will go again. read more

Came in on my "Shop and Dine" gift card. What can I say...This place is great and our new favorite place to eat. Saturdays they have a live guitar player and well the Mediterranean food is awesome. Lamb roast and chicken kabob was excellent. The service was great . I seculate it is family owned and operated. They make you feel at home...Seriously ! So from now on when my woman gets time off we will always come here. Seriously ! read more

Just okay. We tried a few items and no one in our party was thrilled. Greek dressing On the salads was more like vinaigrette than Greek dressing. Restaurant interior is dated. There are not many great Greek options in OC. Christiakis in Tustin is by far the best we have found yet in OC. read more

Changing my review to one star after receiving a rude reply in response to my review from the restaurant's owner. Well Avo, I stand by my review. Nothing false about it, guy. Yes sir, your restaurant messed up my order and everything was wrong. Nice of you to take zero responsibility and try to pass the blame onto me, but I know what I ordered and I documented everything including what the menu said vs. what I received because I was so mad. I wouldn't have "wasted my time" otherwise. Answer me this. Does my receipt not say potatoes were ordered? Why then, did I get rice and a different main dish than what I ordered? Looking at the customer photos on Yelp, it looks like I was sent the "7 Hr Roasted Lamb" which was a cheaper item than what I actually ordered (Grilled Lamb Chops). The salad was also wrong. I wanted a Greek salad, not a plain dinner salad. In my original review, I posted that the menu was contradictory regarding which type of salad you would be receiving. Hence, why I posted the screenshot in my review, showing how it said "Greek Salad" in one place under the description and "Dinner Salad" in the selection area. And I also stand by the fact that the salad I was sent consisted of unripe produce and I posted a photo of said salad. What are you going to say next? That I photoshopped the pics to make the tomatoes green? Get outta town! Psshhhhh!!! When I pay $19 for an entree, I expect the produce to be fresh, as well as ripe, and I don't think that's asking for much. There isn't some 'Princess and the Pea' situation going on here. Not to mention the shady dessert switcheroo thing y'all pulled. Don't make me start posting the receipt for that. So dude, DON'T EVEN question MY credibility when I have evidence to back up what I'm saying! You have a lot of nerve! Take it up with Door Dash, if you feel you are being misrepresented, but nothing to be mad at me for. I'm just relaying what happened with my ordering experience. Am I just supposed to be okay with my ordering one thing and being subbed cheaper items that weren't what I ordered? One thing is for sure, I'm not interested in coming to your restaurant after your response to me. I might have given you another chance and changed my review if I had a better experience dining in your restaurant, which is why I wrote "maybe it's better if you dine in". However, I wouldn't suggest anyone go to your restaurant if that's your customer service attitude. The customer is always wrong eh? Don't shoot the messenger because the only thing I'm guilty of was trying to place an order, have a nice meal, and give you some business. Now all of this is somehow MY fault according to you? LOL! You're funny! Not my problem if the info reflected on the delivery site is not accurate. It's YOUR restaurant, fix it with them! Or don't and continue alienating customers and wonder why. I'm the customer and I have a reasonable right to expect that what I order and pay for is what I will be receiving. You should be thankful someone has given you feedback about what's going on with Door Dash and people not getting what they ordered. You could have taken it as an opportunity to grow but I guess customer service isn't your strong point. Or you could have just said sorry, we messed up... Let me make things right. That would have ended this and gone a long way. I'm a reasonable person. I'm also forgiving. Stuff beyond people's control happens sometimes. Not everything is always going to be perfect 100% of the time. I get that! Your response was unwarranted and solidifies my reasons for wanting nothing to do with your business ever again. You know what? I don't care what you do with your business. Take this review for what it's worth or continue doing things your way. Your life, your decisions. Only thing I have control over is how I spend my money and I will not be spending it here. For everyone else who cares, click below to read my original 100% factual review along with all of the photographic evidence to back everything that I said up. You really shouldn't have rehashed this with me, Avo. read more

Bravo Avo - Exhibit D... Further proof since owner had the nerve to question MY credibility. Oh nooooo he didn'ttttt!!!! - Mediterranean Near Me - Foothill Ranch, California

Horrible soup. Red lentil was colored red liquid. No bean at all ! If you were in jail I would of expected. Excellent pita but that was it. Won't be back. read more

We love Bravo Avo! The food is amazing and the family that runs it are always so kind and gracious. Whenever we want a fresh delicious meal, we come here! read more

We love Bravo Avo for takeout and for dine in. The food is delicious and the owners are so nice. Even my toddler loves the food! We are grateful that Bravo Avo was open throughout the pandemic! read more

Another delicious dinner at Bravo Avo. A friendly greeting and attentive service thru-out dinner. We tried the hummus appetizer this time and it was delicious, served with slightly grilled and warmed up pita bread for a very reasonable price of $4.99. On top to the side there was a small amount of a red chili sauce, a welcome addition and could have used a bit more as both Rohlin and I enjoyed this. Avo himself is very accommodating so I'm sure we could have asked for more! I had the steak kabob with side salad and rice pilaf. My hubby had the lamb shoulder with same. My kabob was a bit overcooked so next time I will ask for medium rare, but still tender enough to cut fairly easily with a butter knife. The pilaf and salad are just okay, nothing special, but some more pita and tatzaki were delicious. I had a bite (or a few) of hubby's entree, absolutely delicious with a gravy with hints of sweet cinnamon, I highly recommend this. Tips: Bravo Avo has a check in offer for Yelpers, buy 1 entree, get 50% off 2nd entree. read more

The owners are super friendly and passionate about their restaurant! The food is amazing! We've been getting the family meal deal since beginning of Covid. Take out order has always been spot on. Definitely try the fire feta and the garlic sauce! read more

So after looking at some of the reviews for this place I was somewhat skeptical, since they seem so hit or miss. Also they didn't seem very busy, then again most of Foothill Ranch never is. I ordered a gyro bowl, with a side of yogurt sauce. I felt the meat was a little dry, but the rice was good and the sauce was amazing. like really. I normally don't like yogurt sauce, but this stuff is awesome. The service was really good. I will be coming back again to try more. read more

Bravo Avo - Mediterranean Near Me - Foothill Ranch, California

Simply perfect. I lived in Greece for two years, enjoying the amazing Mediterranean food. I was spoiled with very fresh and tasty authentic Greek dishes in remote villages. With that said, this is the best Mediterranean and Greek food I've had since living in Greece. And I've tried many trying to chase the quality and authenticity! Our party ordered a variety of things and we were all going crazy for how good everything was. Especially the freshly made Pita bread, made in house, just like everything on the menu. We've found our new Greek spot!! read more

I was craving good Mediterranean food so I found this place on yelp. It had decent reviews so I decided to give it a try. I had some trouble with the menu the lady didn't really take the time to explain to me what comes with what, so I just ordered a gyro plate. Although the food was pretty decent, I feel like the prices are a little expensive for the portion sizes. I wanted a size of hummus but didn't want to pay $6 for a small side. So I used the yogurt sauce that came with the food instead. I thought it was a taziki sauce but it was very bland and I decided I would rather eat my food plain than use the yogurt sauce. So overall the food is decent, but the prices and service brought it down to 3 stars for me. read more

Bravo Avo - Mediterranean Near Me - Foothill Ranch, California

I'm going to keep this short and to the point. Honestly, I came here wanting to like this place. The reviews looked good and the menu is on-point. Unfortunately, nothing about this place lived up to my expectations. This joint is an odd mix of order-at-the-counter takeout, with full overhead menu, and sit down, full table service. The table service area while NOT dirty, could be cleaner and far more appealing and comfortable. The owner/chef took the order. I got the Greek salad, sans the lettuce. It was so-so. Lacked acid and salt. And, the feta was too little and too mild, in my estimation. Also tried the salmon, which was ok - but the sauce looked and tasted very unappealing, which just made the plate unappetizing. Lastly, was talked into trying their homemade baklava. I found it to be average, at best. Again - I really wanted to like this place, which is probably why I'm giving it 3-stars, instead of less. But, alas, I did not care for it. read more

I love Bravo Avo! This is a great place for lunch. I'm usually not a fan of Greek & Mediterranean food, but the owner is so so friendly and the food is so so tasty. Chicken A La Avo ($9.99) and Gyro Plate ($9.99) are both my favorites. If I feel like having both, there's also an option to get the Combo Bravo ($10.99). It comes with rice, super flavorful meat, salad, and pita bread. The food is always fresh and hot. The only thing is that this place a little bit on the pricier side for lunch. Check in on Yelp to get free baklava and also start a stamp card here! read more

This restaurant is fantastic!! Avo and his staff are friendly, attentive, flexible, and helpful. And the food is DELICIOUS! We catered a huge lunch for our office and every plate was fantastic; it's clear that their food is fresh and that the cooking is authentic. I could not recommend them more. (I suggest the beef rib eye lule kabob if you're unsure what to order). Thank you Bravo Avo!! read more

I'm sorry but if there's not at least one lamb dish on your menu in the US, then you might not really be serving Greek food (nothing against chicken). If you like lamb, this is a place to eat (I've had all of their preparations and I keep going back for more). I also buy dried apricots and wine at this restaurant. Why you ask? Because it's all good stuff. Did I mention I am as big a fan of the owners as I am of the food? Well, I think they are great and I believe love and care are actual ingredients that they use and many other places do not. Don't skip the appetizers and gosh the salad dressing is good. I mean really, when was the last time you even remember the salad dressing. read more

The warm friendliness of Avo and his wife Nadia match the quality and portions of their Mediterranean food. We have had their Family meals on several occasions and their lamb shanks all cooked to perfection. This is food the way it was meant to be! Feel free to order ahead of time and it will always be waiting hot and fresh when you come to pick it up. Please support this husband and wife team during this pandemic. It would be such a tragedy to loose such a wonderful eatery in our community! read more

Great service and great food. A bit on the expensive side, but most places are. Will def be returning.

Disappointed that it took me so long to go to this gem. Food was delicious, not salty or overly spiced. Service - outstanding. Extremely clean. Definite add to our restaurant selection. read more

This place is WONDERFUL! We had the spanakopita, red lentil soup, gyro plate and combo plate. Everything was fresh and so delicious. Even the rice is flavorful. Save room for the baklava. We will definitely be back! read more

Opa! Exactly what I wanted to yell when I realized there's a little gem of a Greek restaurant near work. I just wish I'd found it sooner (sooner than Daphne's especially, blech!). The owner puts some serious love into what they do here at Bravo Avo, it definitely shows. That said, he looked at me blankly when I asked if they have a Yelp check-in deal. And wasn't amused when I riffed "free baklava"? Meh. Bravo Avo blows Daphne's out of the water. Cannon, fire, BOOM. Not even a comparison. BA's tzaziki, gyro meat, pita...all superior in every way. Can't wait to try other things here. I'll update! read more

Fantastic food. I was in area and pulled up YELP and saw the stars! They did not fall short. Food was fresh and tasty. Hubby got the chicken and I the gyro. Bread was Sooooooo good too! read more

Lule Kabob Combo Ground sirloin steak and grond chicken marinated and flame grilled. Of the two I have to say the chicken tasted better than the steak. The steak reminded me of a salsbury steak tv dinner but more moist and not as tough. Rice was good and plenty of it. The salad was good as well. The dish also came with yogurt and grilled pita. Not a fan of yogurt but happy to have the pita. The Iced Tea was good as well. Not overly excited about this dish. But will be back to try others. read more

I cannot recommend this place enough! I live in the neighborhood and love picking up a lamb gyro plate for dinner or lunch. The portions are perfect and the prices are great for the quality. The owners are so kind and the whole restaurant is really cute! Not much indoor seating but that's okay, it's very clean and comfortable. I love the selection of drinks they have, and the baklava is amazing! read more

I'm a Foothill Ranch local and this place is my go to restaurant:) The food is always fresh and the family owned service is wonderful. Everything on the menu looks great but I really luv the Lule combo, it comes with beef and chicken ground kabobs, rice, salad, and bread w/yogurt dip. Very reasonably priced with great taste and quality! Truely the best food in town!! read more

My favorite Greek food place HANDS DOWN. The lamb combo is my favorite. Owners are super nice also! Best Pita bread I've ever had btw

This place will satisfy your Mediterranean cravings. The quality is consistently delicious. For lunch crowd, come early. If you catch the lunch rush and food is made to order, so it might take 20-25 mins if you place a big order. I always get the Lule combo. It comes with a side salad and delicious fluffy white rice. You can order it spicy but my SE Asian palette barely sense any heat ! It's $10.50, not the cheapest but worth every penny. read more
