    Reaper tender

    My mouth is full of ice cubes and yogurt right now from just 1 bite of this. FML The sliders are superb though

    Daaaavvveeee let me in.
    Daniel D.

    Dave, I know how great your sandwiches are. I wasn't planning on eating at your place today but my temptations got the best of me and I ended up having your mini sliders. It was good. Really good. The perfect amount for someone who didn't want to eat too much while maintaining the same great taste as a normal sandwich. The honey and the sauce paired with the fries? Fuhgetaboutit. But what I can't forget is how sticky my fingers got after going through your meals. How could I open the bathroom doors without getting honey and crumbs all over the handles? Look like a dinosaur by opening it with my elbows? Which I didn't even have the option to since the bathroom was in use during the duration of my dinner. I had to resort to getting the water from the dispenser and having my wife pour it over my hands outside. Your food is great. Your staff's service is cool. But you could really use some hand wipes to go with your dishes. Just my 2 cents. See you soon again. Xoxo Daniel

    Cheese fries

    Wtf cheese fries?! Reg fries $3.99 vs cheese fries $5.79 I paid $1.20 more for this? Do better

    The wait was long but the food came out hot and was worth it. Despite the wait being long, the cashier, Kayleigh, was an absolute beast and kept the line moving. She constantly helped pack orders, confirmed door dash order, Uber Eats orders, and took orders at the same time. I also overheard other patrons saying this was the best and preferred location in the area.

    My order with the Dave bites and sauce dipper ordered 2x

    Basic math was lost upon them. I told them I ordered 2 Dave's bites 10 piece that had a sauce dipper in each. The supervisor told me that I only paid for it once, but I know I selected it twice and paid extra for it because it's on my receipt. I tried to show her my order, and she said "can you let me explain this to you so that you can understand" in a very snippy tone and eye rolls. She continued to explain multiple times on and on while I stood there that I didn't order it so again I "could understand" when it's clearly on my order and on my receipt that she refused to look at. So unnecessary to be this disrespectful and unprofessional over a sauce.

    The chiiicken lmao

    They have unique decorations and all around fun environment. The service was quick and polite. The food was better than I anticipated. The chicken had a lot of flavor. And I loved the sauce they have!

    Courtney T.

    I ubered the food and it was delicious 8.3/10! Spice level for mild and medium wasn't spicy! Add honey to the chicken solid 9/10! Mac and cheese it was okay 6.5/10. Sauce 9/10! Pickles 7/10 nice crunch! Fries have to eat right away for crispiness 8.5/10.

    My first visit here was unacceptable due to severe hygiene issues and poor service. I observed staff handling trash and cleaning tables before prepping food all without washing hands or wearing gloves. To make matters worse, our order was given to other customers who handled the food before it was retrieved and handed to us. When I asked for a fresh replacement, I received cold food in the original greasy boxes, including a piece of chicken that had been torn. When I requested a refund, I was told no manager was on-site and I'd have to return tomorrow. This establishment is unprofessional and unsanitary, I will not be back. This happened Sunday May 10 at 7:55pm

    Delicious sandwich but what happened to the coleslaw? Just one or two pieces of it, might as well not have put any. This is nonsense.

    As a Yelp Elite member for the second consecutive year, I value restaurants that offer more than a…read moregood meal. Spice Social in Fullerton delivered a refined and memorable dining experience from start to finish. The ambiance is elegant, inviting, and thoughtfully designed. It strikes a balance between modern sophistication and comfort, making it well suited for an intimate dinner, a relaxed evening with friends, or a polished casual outing. The food was excellent. Each dish was beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly prepared with care and attention to detail. What elevated the experience even further was the service. The hospitality was exceptional, and the owner personally took the time to come over, greet us, and ensure that everything was to our liking. That level of attentiveness added a gracious and personal touch that made the evening feel even more special. One of the standout qualities of Spice Social is its broad appeal. It is an excellent introduction for diners who may be less familiar with Indian cuisine, as the menu feels approachable while still offering depth and authenticity. There is a subtle contemporary influence in some of the flavors and presentation, which makes the experience especially appealing to those who appreciate familiar elements alongside traditional Indian delicacies. I would return without hesitation and highly recommend it at any time.

    This restaurant has been on my list for a while. Finally came for a lunch date…read more I was excited for some authentic masala chai. It was not impressive but I didn't complain. Service was not warm to start, but it got worse after they brought me overcooked salmon when I ordered Chilean sea bass. I told them there was a mistake and the waiter tried to convince me it was sea bass. Sea bass is white and salmon is pink with a completely different texture. He did not apologize but returned my salmon to the kitchen. Good thing I ordered garlic naan which ended up being my lunch. It was good. They even included jalapeños on it at my request. It's actually hard to overcook sea bass but they managed it. A lady came by and did apologize saying something about the fish being lost in her translation. Her English sounded perfect to me. I just smiled and said it was ok but I could smell the fish coming before it hit the table. Super fishy. But maybe it would be ok. I took a bite and another just in case I had it wrong but it tasted old. Chilean sea bass is supposed to have a buttery soft texture. It just smelled, tasted and felt old. I let her know. She went and told the waiter who I could see shaking his head. He didn't return to serve us. She closed out the bill and removed the fish at my request. If that was it I would not have left this review because cooks have off days sometimes and there are hundreds of restaurants I've eaten at that just don't need a review. But the attitude I got was uncalled for. She said they served 3 and nobody else complained. Well that was awkward. After 3 they should have known the difference between salmon and sea bass. I really enjoy Indian food. Just not going to enjoy it here. I hope this review helps other diners.

I also wasn't a huge fan of the iced coffee latte drink, but that's just my personal taste. Overall though, we really enjoyed our visit.

    Literally saw the sign while walking and I have no regrets!…read more First off, the ambience is beautiful. The dim lighting and candles are super romantic. I got a seat with a bit of sunlight coming in from the window and that felt like the perfect touch. Avery is so kind. She immediately mentioned the Soup of the Day and the blend for the herb water and I knew I had to get both! They rotate both out every single day depending on what they have on hand, which is a great indicator that they source their ingredients fresh. The soup was puréed eggplant with a coconut milk or cream base and it was the creamiest eggplant dish I'd ever had in my life. Very smooth, no seeds. I didn't even know eggplant could get to that consistency. It's a beautiful soup and I would come back just for that. Arabic tea was not as strong as I'd had in other restaurants but for a nice dining place like this, I think it's good that it wasn't so bitter. Maybe it's also because I dunked a whole packet of honey in mine beforehand Beef stew was great. There were only a few beef chunks but if you're a fan of the vegetable you're choosing (I love zucchini so that worked out well for me), then it's a perfect portion for one. I can't believe I've just been passing this gem behind for so long! Will definitely come back with some company next time around.

Just wanted to understand the portion size for the les amis platter for 2. Immediate response "well it's a portion size for two" which yes i know it's in the title, idk if she's have a bad day but i've had restaurants easy answer so many oz for this or this has so many oz but i had to clarify how many oz and still was met with attitude. I belive in good customer service when a guest is curious of the menu no matter how obscure it seems to the person answering. Especially if she has no idea if i've had the experince of dining there. I would think you would try and sell the plate. Maybe it's the generation or maybe they're burnt out of the job but definitely not guest friendly. Don't come here expecting hospitality the foods great but service sucks they need some type of refresher course

But where Pita Hot sets itself apart from those places is the community. When you walk in, you're greeted with smiles, a question about how your day is, and if you've been there a few times, a quick "how's the wife and kids?" Although some people may see the price tags and wince, they do not skimp on portions. They will fill your plate to the absolute brim, give you one huge pita, and send you on your way. The flavors on the food are nothing to scoff at either. The hummus, tabbouleh, and beef skewer are absolute hits. Flavorful bites with the perfect amount of balance between the acidity of the tabbouleh, the light and rich hummus, and the meatiness of the beef. The shrimp skewer is tasty as well but not something I think I'd get again. The rice pairs well with everything, and as I've mentioned before, the humongous pita they give you is delicious as well. A three skewer plate is enough for two people! All in all, Pita Hot has been around this long for a reason. Their business model and recipes are tried and true. Overall, 9/10.
