If you're craving something filling, fresh, and packed with flavor, DonerG is the move. Definitely coming back.

Well, I think I have a new favorite Persian kabob restaurant! It's pretty far from home, but I…read morecould easily work it into the flight path so to speak, between the Tustin REI and 17th Street in Costa Mesa. Located in a small but busy plaza, HOK is a small, potentially packed restaurant with a few tables outside. About half full mid afternoon on a Saturday, i got a table and quickly made a decision to try the combination plate with a chicken and kubideh kabob, with rice. Next time I'll branch out, but this first sample provided much pleasure and evidence that they can't do anything wrong (except be closed when I'm craving more ;) A few minutes after placing my order the warm flatbread came out with butter. Comparatively, many other Persian restaurants use Lavash sections, so I enjoyed the contrast. The neighboring table of four received their plates one at a time, so I figured the kitchen and grill were probably also fairly constricted like the lobby. Nonetheless, it didn't take long and the generous, colorful portions were a sight to behold! The first thing I noticed was how moist and tender both kabobs were. Not burnt or dry anywhere on either type. That's attributable to the elevated method of grilling, but here the chef has it down to a science. The second observation came later when I didn't feel excessively thirsty, or bloated, ir dehydrated. Some restaurants really brine the meat while marinating, but here it's another level of perfection. Good service and a reasonable price, although the menu prices might be behind current food costs. Still, it was totally worth it. I didn't have a way to keep leftovers in a safe temperature range, so I ate everything. Full, but not stuffed.

I received hardly any rice maybe 3 -4 cucumbers and a few pieces of chicken that was left on the bottom of the tray. When I asked for a bit more the guy said "no" I ate a bit of the pita bread and the crumbles of what they served in the bowl. A child's plate would have been more food!! Great Mother's Day service, Cava ! Luna Mediterranean Grill bowl is much better quality and service!! A zero it if I could!

Place is clean, staff is friendly, good amount of tables for seating. Lots of parking in the shopping. Food quality was very good. We ordered a rice plate with chicken kabob, salad, rice and hummus.

A lot of people I trust have raved about it, and I'm glad I gave it a shot. Our server, Leyla, was great. She took orders for 6 people entirely from memory without a single mistake, all while staying kind, attentive, and composed during a busy service. The food was excellent. The tahdig was crispy, and the stews were rich and homemade, easily some of the best I've had. The koobideh kabob was flavorful and cooked very well, and the chicken barg was equally good. For dessert, the faloodeh had a good balance of rose water, and the Persian ice cream was just as good. I really enjoyed everything about this place and will absolutely be back.

2 words... DRY & COLD!…read more Honestly, this place has gone down. So sad. Out of the 10 things we had on the table, we agreed that the bread and yogurt were the best thing. Everything - everything was cold. Meat dry. $110 later - We both agreed that we most definitely wouldn't return. They should be taken off Resy as the quality is so bad now. Highly recommend the restaurant checking their own reviews and addressing concerns.

I absolutely love Lebanese food even more so than my native Persian cuisine, so when I heard about…read morean authentic Lebanese spot in Irvine, I knew I had to give it a try. Before you visit, keep these things in mind: 1. This is a ghost kitchen, not a full-service restaurant. It's best for takeout and delivery. There are only a few chairs outside--just four in total. 2. Ordering is entirely self-service via a digital kiosk, with no staff on hand to assist you. 3. There are no bathrooms available anywhere on-site. Regarding the food, it was just okay-- a bit underwhelming, especially given that Lebanese cuisine is typically so flavorful. The chicken was dry, the hummus lacked depth, and the rice was bland. That said, the fattoush salad, one of my favorites, was very good, with a delicious dressing. Overall, I can't say I'd return. The prices were quite high for the portions, and the quality didn't meet my expectations. If you're looking for a quick Lebanese meal, this place is a decent option, but don't expect much more than that.

Everything was incredibly flavorful, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. The chicken, beef, rice, and sides were all delicious--honestly, not a single dish was left behind! It quickly became everyone's favorite, and people are still talking about it. You know it's good when coworkers are going back for seconds (and thirds) If you're looking for catering that will impress a crowd, this is it. Highly recommend!

Never been to Istanbul grill before, thought I'd check it out. I called ahead of time to place an…read moreorder to go. I ordered the chicken kebab. Every other local Mediterranean food place prices their chicken kebab at around 17 dollars and some change. This place charges a ridiculous 23 dollars after tax. And they don't even include hummus, but they give you pita bread? ( if you pay an extra 9 dollars you can get hummus! Unbelievable. Other places give hummus for free in their bowls. This place is over charging. After I arrived at the place I and I go in to pay, I had waited 15 minutes as the person over the phone quoted me. But then I find out they don't accept cash?! No where is this mentioned. Didn't even tell me over the phone. Do you think they are cashless in Istanbul? Just absolutely ridiculous. The woman tells me just this time she will accept cash. But she doesn't have change. So I had to pay 25 dollars for my already overpriced meal. ( after I gave her the cash she opened the register and there was cash and coins in there, I could have gotten my exact change back, but whatever. This place is a joke. She then told me to wait another 7-9 minutes. After I had already waited 15 minutes. So after waiting a total of 28 minutes I finally received my food. I honestly wish time machines were a thing because I'd use it to go back in time and never have ordered here. Terrible first experience. And the vibes are atrocious. Non of the staff looked happy. Mean faces everywhere. 0/10, the food was alright. Not 23 dollars worth. I get more for way less at other places.
