    Kofte plate
    Lisa T.

    The food and service were good. The kofte plate was well seasoned. I didn't like that their restroom is outside on the second floor, requires a physical key required, and hand dryer only. Not great for preventing the spread of germs.

    Sultan Tray  MUST TRY!!!
    Alyssa S.

    This place is so chill. The waiters and quick and friendly. The food is delicious and amazing. The Turkish Tea is good and the Sultan Tray is a must 10/10 would recommend

    Baked Pastrami humus- delicious
    Shell S.

    We tried GG's Bistro for the first time and overall it was a pleasant experience. 1-service was very friendly and prompt. (There was an older lady helping us) 2- we sat at the outside patio and it was great for a nice spring lunch with friends. 3- The food was good but could be improved. I had the chicken pita wrap and for me it was a miss, the chicken was dry/hard and the portion of the meat was not very generous compared to the veggies. The flavor was very neutral, it needed pickles and some sort of sauce (preferably hot sauce) to bring it into life. I'd give it a 3 stars. On the other hand my husband got the baked pastrami humus, it was very flavorful and actually I added some of his humus to my sandwich and it really enhanced the pita wrap. This was 5 stars. The prices are higher compared to other Mediterranean places but obviously the Laguna Beach leases ain't cheap for the owners.

    Curious and friendly staff treating you to hospitality welcoming you in for the flavors of the Mediterranean.

    Plenty of open air seating and dog friendly! Service was fast and staff were friendly and accommodating. The serving sizes are pretty big and were prepared very well. The lobster ravioli was probably my favorite bite. The location is right off the main walking areas, so it was a convenient stop to get some lunch.

    Meze Platter  Kofte Plate

    One of the best restaurants in Laguna Beach! The food was delicious and the outdoor seating area is very lovely! The staff were really kind and welcoming! We tried the meze platter, the kofte plate, and had the berry dream meringue for dessert, which were all excellent! I will definitely be coming back to try the breakfast options they offer on Sundays. Thank you for a wonderful time!!

    GG's Avocado Crevette and Steak Salad

    it's been awhile since we've had a chance to visit but the charm of GG's patio is just as we remember. We had the GG's Avocado Crevette and Steak Salad (ask for chopped!). Wonderful way to spend a lazy afternoon weekend in Laguna, and they always treat you like family.

    I like this place, it's my third time, and they do amazing Middle Eastern/Turkish food. This time you were there for breakfast, and we tried traditional Turkish sausage with eggs, and it was delicious, they also provided jam/butter. Turkish Tea was good. Bread was good. Outdoor seating is very nice. There is meter parking in front of the restaurant, or there is a big parking lot on the street right behind the restaurant.

    The Sultans Kebab and Meze Platter were both great tastes. Thanks to the owner couple, Francesca & Ragip for their great hospitality shown during our delicious dinner experience in Laguna Beach.

    Hummus trio and GF Gyro Plate sample.
    Kelly M.

    The best spot for a smart casual meal. Numerous gluten free and celiac friendly options. Kindness of service staff is second to none. Simply delicious. Be sure to try the GF Gyro Plate. Hummus trio also a home run. I could not have picked a better spot after a long day of travel. Perfect for a very hungry person with celiac disease. Lovely patio with lots of shade and nice breeze.

    Food is not good! No flavor, lots of salt! Shrimp was under cooked & the chicken was over cooked! Overpriced for what you get!

And it starts at ten bucks. That's a ridiculous bargain. In a white tablecloth Italian restaurant, the same cheese wheel theater could easily run north of thirty dollars, probably delivered by someone wearing an apron cleaner than your kitchen towels. You can add chicken and other toppings, but I went with the three flavor pasta trio, served on a wooden plank. It's visually impressive, filling, and compared with most quick-service food these days, a genuinely respectable value. There is, however, one important thing to understand before walking through the door, everything begins with Alfredo. Pesto, tomato, and the other flavors are added afterward, but the creamy cheese sauce is the foundation. If Alfredo isn't your thing, this probably isn't your place. My wife is firmly in that camp, so she ordered a salad. That's where the operation started to wobble. The lettuce was wilted, and the green goddess dressing had an odd, unpleasant flavor. We also ordered pita bread, which appeared to have been removed from a plastic bag, cut into pieces, and dropped onto a plate without heat, seasoning, or much thought. It was cold, slightly stale, and depressing. The frustrating part is that both problems are easy to fix. Toast the pita. Brush it with olive oil. Add a little salt and herbs. Treat the salad like someone might actually be excited to eat it. The pasta trio, though? Solid. Rich, satisfying, and an excellent deal. Judging by the packed dining room on a Friday night, plenty of other people have reached the same conclusion. Zesty Olive has the Alfredo pasta experience down. Add one genuinely good olive oil based pasta for people who don't want the cream and cheese, and bring the salads and sides up to the same standard as the main attraction. Do that, and they may have a real winner.

The service could've been a little more friendly. The young guy working at the register didn't say much and didn't seem to really promote the menu, even after I told him it was my first time there. I was really excited to try the food here with my friend. I was in the mood for whole pieces of chicken and I'm so glad I chose the half chicken plate. The plate comes with two sides and there were a few options to choose from. I selected a side salad and roasted lemon garlic potatoes. I was trying to be a little more healthy. Otherwise, I probably would've chosen the french fries. The dressing on the salad was really good and all of the ingredients were fresh.
