    Service: 100/10 WOW every person that served us was so kind. My son asked if there was a kids meal (no there was not), but the woman brought out fries for him (on the house) since they did not have kids meals. They went above and beyond. I love Pakistani food, the spices are entirely different because of the region and differences matter. FOOD: AMAZING. This place is a hidden gem. A must visit if you're wondering. Chicken karahi was amazing, they can make it mild or more spicy. This reminded me of home cooking from my Pakistani friend. The chicken tikka masala was delicious paired with naan. The briyani was spicy!!! It was amazing with the yogurt sauce. All in all, the food was excellent and so was the service! I will return when in the area to visit my daughter.

    Colachi is a new Pakistani HALAL restaurant that opened up in the Placentia/Yorba Linda area. They serve traditional Pakistani dishes such as nihari, haleem, and BBQ items. The main seating area has space at most for 60 people and a private area for up to 20 more. I tried several dishes to see how the compared to other Pakistani restaurants in the area. I ordered several items to sample and then took the rest for leftovers at home. Gola kabobs ($14) - The initial kabobs I received were over cooked and a little hard. After talking with the manager he had them make some new ones for me, and they were juicier. But taste wise I prefer the ones at Bawarchi and Nikki's. Bihari kabobs ($14) - This was probably my favorite dish here. It was soft, tender and fall apart delicious. Chicken malai ($14) - The boneless chicken chunks were marinated in yogurt, creamy and tasted pretty good. Nihari ($15) - It's hard finding good nihari here in California, and this was decent (best I had was in Dubai). This beef stew (3 large chunks of beef) had good flavoring and was tender. Naan ($2) - The naan was soft, buttery and reasonably priced. Overall, the food wasn't bad and the pricing was fair. I do feel that Bundoo Khan in Fullerton has better bihari kabobs and chicken malai. They also offer catering here. I wanted to try either the chicken or lamb karahi here, but they only served it with bone-in meat.

    I have ordered food here multiple times and Nihari is my go to item from here. The naan here is tasty, and the malai boti was ok. I ventured out from my usual order and tried the Haleem and it was a let down it was super runny and not very flavorful. I wouldn't get that again. I do like this place I just wish it was a little more consistent.

    We have been here a few times and the food never disappoints. Great Pakistani Cuisine. Now on Sundays they have a lunch buffet as well as live BBQ. The tikka, halwa, boti, biryani as well as the kheer were worth the trip. Great Sunday food with family!

    Malai boti

    We came here on day two of their soft opening and let me tell you it was amazing. The customer service by Ali was amazing. He took on the spot advice and it was like he cared for our opinions. We tried the half chicken karahi, behari kabob, malai boti, and chicken biryani on their recommendations. They redid the biryani after we asked for a little more spice. The behari kabob hit the spot! Omg finally. The malai boti was also great. Both melted in our mouths, were spiced perfectly, and the quality and quantity received were both admirable. The chicken karahi was good as well, just not our type of spice. Ali mentioned for us to just let them know in advance when ordering next time and they will take care of it. The biryani originally came out hot but not spicy. We asked and he brought out a fresh batch that was smoking hot . Ali also mentioned if we let them know beforehand, he can add potato to the biryani (a must for me). Friendly service by Ali and the food was great. We will be back for their lunch buffet, that they offer from Tuesday to Friday from 11 to 3pm for $15/each person. Come check them out!

    Omg the food was INSANE!! We got both the mutton and chicken karhais for dine in and ended up taking the chicken briyani and veal briyani to go(whatever, don't judge). Let me tell you, that veal briyani is LEGIT. Colachi, this Pakistani is so glad you're here!! There's even something a little karachi-ish about how the naan tastes. I'm so glad we came here, now please open one in the IE soon!! Also, got haleem and nihari to go. Will try those soon.

    Awesome seating

    Excellent halal restaurant. Delicious Pakistani/Indian halal Tandoor and Karahi cooked foods. Cost-effective prices and superb service by Sherri. Enjoyed the food so much that 6 of us were in the restaurant for 3 hours. Enjoyed the delicious chicken karahi, which is the best in southern California. The taste was just like it would be Peshahwar or Kabul. The tea was awesome and so was the Kheer. This is the best restaurant for Tandoori foods: rooghani and plain naan, all freshly made. Best Desi , Halal Tandoori restaurant in California.

Loved the decor, the ambiance, the food and the owners were super super friendly, & welcomed me! TY:) I ordered Chicken Biryani and Bihari kabob roll. Chicken biryani had flavor and delicious, the only negativity about it was there were only 2 pieces of chicken in there, otherwise not bad! The Roll was DELICIOUS.

It was honestly very sad to see as we had been seeing ads pop up places but with zero customers, not sure how they will continue operating. Also, almost half of their menu was not available at this time. The good: as we were the only customers, all staff were coming by to ask how things were. No crazy talking over people. The bad: The restaurant was fairly clean, but there were no hand towels in the women's bathroom. One of the four plates we received for our table had food on it. I wiped it down with a tissue. There is no tandoor setup at the moment. The menu is way overpriced for the quantity of food being served. Food: we ordered a mango lassi, bun kabob, daga kabob, chicken karahi, garlic naan, plain naan, and a paratha. Mango lassi - it was watered down. Missing real mango flavor and the tartiness of the yogurt. Bun kabob - this was fairly good. The egg with daal patty and onions with the chutney was authentic. It's a little pricey, though, for the size. Daga Kabob - this was the star of our experience. The meat was super tender and melt in your mouth with enough spice. But for $20 a plate, I am expecting a lot more. I would also suggest adding a tamarind or green chutney to complimemt this dish. I also found parts of this dish to be a little cold. I'm not sure why. Chicken karahi (half) - My husband liked this dish, but for me, it had too much of a homely taste. This is the type of karahi I make at home, so it wasn't anything special for me. Also, I didn't expect to be served 5 pieces of leg in one dish. They need to have a variety of peices of chicken. The spice level (we ordered spicy) was good. Naan - okay, so how do you open a restaurant and serve people naan out of a packet. I find this practice to be super irritating. It's not justifiable in any sense. I can go pick up from the local grocery store if I want this experience. Paratha - Again, this was a homestyle paratha. I feel like it was also a store bought vs. Hand-made, but I could be wrong. Overall, I think they need to either decrease their prices or increase their plate sizes. It is their opening weekend, and I wish them the best.

The menu is also not as extensive as the regular Vietnamese pho places; just a handful of pho and a handful of rice bowl choices along with some interesting appetizers and rolls. Service was really good. I got recommendations from the cashier and she checked on us after food was delivered. We had a Beef Brisket Pho, Wagyu Beef Rice Bowl, Beef Tendon small plate, and Pork Patty Roll. The broth of the pho was good, sweet with depth. We love the beef tendon! It was so soft and tasted just like jello! The Wagyu beef rice bowl is like the Korean bibimbap, a lot of chopped veggie, a fried egg and beef. I couldn't tell if the beef is Wagyu or not, since the texture didn't stand out. The Pork Patty roll surprised me of how crunchy it was inside. The pork Patty is like the Vietnamese sweet sausage, I like it better than the regular Vietnamese spring roll.

They advertise MSG-free broth that's simmered for 8 hours, but honestly, it tasted like they simmered boiling water for 8 hours and forgot to add the beef. The egg rolls were basically just filled with carrots, and the noodles were doughy and seemed undercooked. The service was great, but unfortunately the food was a complete miss. Never coming back.

    Bottom Line Up Front: If you like Greek food but don't want…read moreto pay big bucks at an traditional sit-down restaurant, Apola can be your yummy, budget-friendly alternative. The Food: Let me start by saying this is clearly an American take on Greek food, so if you're looking for super authentic food, look elsewhere. But if you're OK with a fusion, Apola will satisfy your Mediterranean craving. There are gyros (pita wraps), bowls, combo plates, and burritos (see, there's that American take I was talking about). All of them range in quality from average to really good. Though I've been here several times, I'll focus on my last visit when we got "the Works" pita wrap and a Greek salad bowl. For the Works, it comes with all the fixings, your choice of protein, and fries stuffed inside (yes, inside, not as a side). I chose beef-and-lamb gyro meat, which came in a huge portion. (Pro Tip: I pulled the fries out and got a "free" side. Of course , there's not a lot of fries, but enough to satisfy my fried food craving.) The gyro was big and tasty. For the Greek salad bowl, we also got beef-and-lamb gyro meat. Once again, they hooked it up with the quantity. Nice! The ingredients (tomatoes, cucumber, feta, etc) were all fresh and seasoned nicely. Side note: I do find it odd that they call this dish a salad bowl when it comes in a rectangular plastic tray. But semantics aside, it was quite good. I also ordered a fountain drink and got a Coke. It was nice a crisp with a lot of carbonation. Just the way I like it. It's not as good as the exclusive Coke blend at McDonald's, but was a close second. I have had some pretty watered down Cokes at other places in recent years. The Service: There were two young gentlemen working the last time I visited, and they were both friendly and knowledgeable. They even brought our meals to our table, which was a nice touch for a fast food establishment. The Setting: It's located inside the recently revamped Yorba Linda Downtown, which has revitalized the area and made it a pleasant place to hang out. Unfortunately, on weekends, it's hard to find parking sometimes. Fortunately we came on a weekday and got parking nearby. Inside, Apola is clean and tidy with roughly enough tables and chairs for a variety of party sizes. The Conclusion: Apola offers good Mediterranean-inspired food for a reasonable price (compared to other restaurants these days) -- just don't expect it to be 100% authentic Greek food. It's not perfect and not super cheap, but with the right expectations set, I plan to return on semi-regular basis.

Premium combo = entree + $10 Entree + premium drink + masala fries I tried the bowl with mild biryani, malai chicken, green (mild) sauce, and guava mango lassi. The bowl already comes with the raita sauce (a yogurt sauce), so I got the green sauce as my choice of sauce after asking the staff for recommendations. The protein portion was super generous and very well-seasoned with their spice. The green sauce was my favorite and everything in the bowl mixed well together. The whole bowl was delicious and it didn't feel heavy, wasn't greasy. The Kashmiri Chai and the guava mango lassi are the most popular drinks, so I decided to try the guava mango lassi. The flavors blended so well. One wasn't more overpowering than the other, and the sweetness level was perfect for me, also, not too much ice. Masala fries So crispy and well-seasoned!! Could be a little less salty. Gulab jamun cheesecake Also asked for recommendations for their cheesecakes and decided to go with this one. It has the fried donut ball in the middle with syrup. It didn't taste too sweet to me, but I also have higher tolerance for sweets. The center has so much of the cheesecake cheese and it was super soft and fluffy. So delicious! The samosas were also great! Crispy and not too oily. I also love that they use compostable takeout containers, including the lid! The interior looks nice and there are a few seats available. There's outdoor shaded tables and seats too. The only downside is that I wish the outdoor seats were a bit cleaner. There is a free parking garage, just make sure to park in the retail spaces. There was enough parking. The staff members are so helpful and very friendly. Can order with a staff member or using their kiosk. HIGHLY recommend!! Would definitely go back!
