Because many reviews complaining about the service I decided to put that to the test with my visit…read moreso I went straight to the counter and asked the person there to recommend everything I will get. He was extremely friendly and helpful and recommended the signature chicken tikka thigh and then for bread asked me if I wanted paratha or naan and I said let's try both. Then I asked if that is enough for and he said will you might as well get a dessert so I was going to get their traditional falooda but when I ordered cola he said maybe I should change from the falooda which is a drink to the suji halwa.. so I asked for both to try. He even checked if the original spice level is ok with me and I said yes. Everything was delicious and I would definitely go there again if I lived in the area. The place was very busy even though on maps it said it wasn't very busy, but for takeout my order only took 20 minutes to prepare and I got a text as soon as it was ready. Also it had plenty of seating inside and out. The only reason it's 4 stars and not 5 is because the chicken thigh I got doesn't come with any side like rice or anything traditional and you have to order that separate. The pricing is very cheap and when I ordered he skipped the tip menu. I would have typed anyway cause I feel kitchen staff deserve tips too but it was nice to see a place that skips that on their counter. I would say worth checking out

MAKANI GRILL is such a gem! This Egyptian inspired food truck and catering business has been…read moreserving the Hollywood community since June, 2023. The food is absolutely delicious and the customer service is second to none. I highly recommend their Shawarma plates (beef, chicken, or mixed). It comes with fresh basmati rice, lemon garlic hummus, and a traditional Egyptian salad (called salata Masriya)! MAKANI GRILL is vegetarian and vegan friendly. The meat is 100% Halal Premium cuts, with no GMO and no MSG. By the way, every single dish is prepared to order. Joanna, Bishoy (aka. Bizzy), and Driss are very kind, hospitable, generous and professional. I highly recommend this family owned business to anyone looking for authentic and fresh Egyptian cuisine at very affordable prices.

I don't even want to give 1 star to this place. Dirty tables, no customer service and food took…read moreforever to made. We waited close to an hour just to receive 2 orders from them. Tables were dirty and when asked to clean; they only cleaned that one specific area and left. I don't even understand why people are saying it is the best karahi and nihari. First off it was overly priced who pays $27 for 5 pieces of chicken with some gravy. My sil can make better karahi than this. It was like a combination of 2 packets of karahi Shan masala mixed in a pan. The portions were very small compare to the price. Goat pulao was the worst pulao I have eaten probably. At least pay attention making your food if you're overcharging your customers, clean your place, provide solid customer service and make the food in a timely manner. All the good reviews are paid and probably their known people writing the review. We had to ask for water and cups after sitting there for 30 minutes no one even bothered to at least put water on our table. They barely had staff working and only 1 at the cash register or serving food. The place needs deep cleaning; it gives an unsanitary vibes that puts a bad impression to begin with. Food is not good at all. Portions are small and overly priced of what they offer. Please avoid this place, don't go for good reviews (they are all paid for). We are extremely disappointed!

The mango mojito and the tamarind ginger margarita. Both were refreshing and delicious. We got the butter naan and the garlic naan. Both were delicious but then we got the cheese stuffed garlic naan and that is the must-have version. So cheesy and garlicy and that put it over the top. The chili mushroom is another must-have. The mushrooms tasted more like meat and the other vegetables made it seem more like a Chinese dish. An absolutely wonderful dish. My friend and i said that next time we would each get our own order of this. The tandoori shrimp was very tasty. The shrimp were large and we made quick work of the dish. Next was the haryali chicken. Nice char on the chicken and it was so tasty and flavorful and went great with the naan. The Shahih paneer with its creamy sauce was great. My friend liked it more than I did and he finished the majority of it. We got the aloo gohbi and I loved the potatoes and cauliflower with the buttery sauce and spices. The chicken curry was our last savory dish. The chicken was so tasty and moist. The curry was so flavoful and just the right amount of spice. Perfect for dipping the naan in. To finish, we got the rose and pistachio kulfi. The ice cream was rich and creamy and paired perfectly with the rose petals and pistachios. Amazing food and wonderful service makes this a hidden gem in Garden Grove!

Every bite was full of authentic Afghan flavor, and everything tasted incredibly fresh and delicious. The Afghan ice cream was amazing too! It tasted just like the traditional ice cream you would find in Kabul. It was freshly prepared, rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. The restaurant was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The waiters and staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. If you're looking for authentic halal Afghan food, this is the place to go. I highly recommend it to everyone. Bring your family and friends--you won't be disappointed.

We ordered the chicken and beef kabobs, and while both were delicious, the chicken kabobs were incredibly juicy and flavorful. The most amazing thing was the shawarma though and quite frankly some of the best I've had in So Cal. One of my favorite parts of the experience was meeting the owner, Nabeel, who makes all of the desserts in house. You can really tell how much care goes into the food, and his personal touch makes the experience even more special. If you're looking for authentic Syrian cuisine with warm hospitality and amazing food, Arabesque is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

I never had Syrian food before but it looks just like the other idle Eastern food I ate. Not sure…read moreif this is really how Syrian food taste like but it's absolutely so bland with no flavors whatsoever. I mean everything was bland - from the meat, rice and hummus. I wish them success but unless the used seasonings, I don't see how it can survive. The Good: 1. New place; friendly workers. 2. The chicken Schwarms special with fries at $6.99 from 2-6pm is a good deal. I really like the thin crispy pita bread they used The BAD: 1. Flavorless, bland. I had to add seasoning and salt on everything including the rice, meat , hummus 2, the marketing needs to change. The pictures made it seem like you're getting a lot of quantity such as the 2 piece beef kabob plate. Perhaps, they give you more quantity but I got it to go and the portion was small. I counted 6 small pieces of grilled beef that was a bit tough and soo bland. pass 3. The fries they had on the pictures are crinkle cut but they gave you frozen steak fries Overall, in a sea of competition I wouldn't go here again. Disappointing visit.
