    caesar crunch wrap
    Rachel Z.

    chose this spot to satisfy family cravings and found highlights and downsides. the wrap is huge which is much worth it's value. its hefty and very filling. my mom and grandma split their bowl which they split, and i was only able to finish half as well. it's decently filled with a good amount of protein which is always appreciated. they have many sauce options which were honestly all pretty tasty. i didn't realize they had dispensers available as well but they provided us with some pre-packaged. although the experience wasn't bad, i find that for the price and topping options (which contribute to the overall flavor), it fell short of cava, a favorite of mine, yet similar. this is a personal opinion, but with such similar concepts, i do not find enough value to return here on my own decision. the topping options are much more limited, thus having a lesser portion than i could be getting elsewhere at a cheaper price and for a more cohesive taste. i feel the ingredients being so simple and few didn't mesh as well, so the sauces were what carried the flavors more than the things inside. i should reiterate that this spot was not bad, but rather missed my standards because of what i know i can find elsewhere with greater taste variety and options, and at a lower cost. as mentioned, these were filling because of the meat, but it was just too simple and i was left wanting more. the best part of this may have been the pita though. for just $1.50, it was such a great addition. super fluffy, chewy, and came out very nice and warm. this was delicious. i would maybe even come just for that service was good, very responsive and welcoming. i did need a lid to go but their lids didn't fit the bowl ~ ended up having to also get a bag to keep everything for spilling out. maybe just a bad batch of lids/bowls which i understand but was a little inconvenient. the location was very clean and open which i liked, with lots of seating available. big parking out in front so no issues there.

    It was an Ok experience but the wrap was not as good as ones I get at the Irvine Center location. Ingredients from what I ordered were missing and it had very little chicken with mainly lettuce as filling. What really bothered me was the bathroom, it was not clean and they don't offer any paper towel for drying hands. In a restaurant where you eat with your hands you should not have to touch the door handle inside the bathroom when you are done washing your hands.

    Came here due to the raving reviews and it was honestly a huge let down. First off, it was empty when we first arrived yet our food took 50 minutes to prepare. Mind you, this is not a high end restaurant so there's no reason it should take that long. Secondly, the prices were extremely overpriced for both the quality of the food and portion size. What bugged us the most is we could've spent that money at a nice dine-in restaurant and gotten some yummy juice flavourful kebabs. Anyways, the proteins we got were chicken and steak and they were both lacking in flavour. The salad dressing was not even lemon vinaigrette?? It was just water and oil. The tzatziki was the actual worst that we've tasted and the other side sauces that were offered at the self-serve area were all out! The fries were probably the best part. The wrap was flavourless and dry. Honestly, just all around a terrible experience and I really don't know if we ate the same food as everyone else who gave 5 stars. Maybe we're just really picky but going to Cava would've been better.

    Plate

    Very disappointed in the online ordering process. They didn't remember any of the sauces for my plate. We also ordered a brownie as an add on for one of the plates we ordered, but the ordering system didn't flag it. The vegetables were also very wet and oily, so it wasn't very enjoyable. It leaked through the container. I liked that the chickpea salad came in its own container so it wouldn't get the rest of the dish wet. Chicken shawarma: 7.5/10 good other than it getting wet from the vegetables Saffron chicken: 7.5/10. Good but can't really tell the difference between this and the chicken shawarma Vegetables: 5/10. Sad Chickpea salad: 7.5/10. Good as well and a decent amount Kebab fries: 6/10. Very lacking in toppings Falafel: 7/10. Good but not stand out The staff and manager were nice and understanding though.

    PROTEIN BOWL, TRUFFLE MAKER
    Chrissy L.

    The Protein Bowl and Truffle Maker were healthy choices. The truffle flavor was pretty good.

    this is what I got from the photo. Speechless....$19
    Peter C.

    Terrible experience!! 1. Wait for like 30 mins to get food and not many people in the restaurant. 2. Then went home, this is what I got from the photo. Speechless.... 3. I can't eat the rice, tastes like chlorine, very bad quality, chicken is very dry. 4, definitely not worth, especially costs $19

The grilling was done skillfully, but I must say that due to the size of the actual meat chunks, my skewers were rare, not med rare. But, delicious and savory nonetheless. The salad was crispy with red onions, tomato wedges, cucumbers. It was under dressed but still very tasty. Also had the humus which was good, a bit more oil would be nice. My daughter had the Spanikopita appetizer which looked really good with a lot of filling. My wife had the soup that was very tasty, with dill sprinkled on top, cannot remember the name. The soup was steaming hot, which is how I like any soup to be served. For dessert we had a Baklava that was sweet, but so crispy it was a bit hard to eat, almost too dense and crispy-dry. Definitely worthy of a 5 star rating. Someone who is serious about quality ingredients designed this menu. I would enjoy eating here again.

The pairing of the rich mole sauce and sweet potato puree takes the dish to an entirely different level, complementing each other effortlessly. ​Baklava Cheesecake: A creative and delicious twist on a classic.

It is nicely balanced and not overly sweet, though you will definitely want to pair it with a cup of coffee to finish it off. ​ ​Service: The staff is exceptionally friendly, highly attentive, and organized, making you feel well cared for throughout the meal. ​Portions: Portions are slightly on the smaller side.
