    Chicken and Beef Kebab plate
    Amy T.

    Arrived here solo for a to-go meal because I was craving some Mediterranean food on a Friday night. Decided to get the Chicken and Beef Kebab plate and was a little disappointed in the meal. The plate came with one chicken kebab, one beef kebab, rice, and some salad. I thought the salad would be something better but it was just a plain ole salad you can buy from the store... pricing for this plate was not the best about $15 before tip. Other than that flavor of the meat was decent but would probably not come back if I wanted Mediterranean food again.

    Food was ok, the biryani, karahi and tikka were all leg pieces but service seriously needs more work, we got one each of the item on the 'discounted menu', we wanted a drink so asked for it and the owner said to take it from the refrigerator and he ll bill us for it later, my niece went to get it and saw only half empty/full bottles of coke, then her father helped her find one unopened bottle of coke, which we shared at our table, after dinner I went to pay for the drink, the owner wanted me to pay per cup though we had picked the whole bottle, which we shared with another table too. I asked how much for a cup, a tiny 8 oz cup, he said $2.99, I said why didn't you tell us before, you should have a sign here that it's per cup not bottle, to make the story short, I stood my ground and ended up paying $10 for a $2.99 bottle of coke, what a joke this place is, always disappoints us, once we hosted an iftar here and the same guy charged us for the al la carte customers who were not our guests, an surprised this place is still in business.

    Heading home from Knotts and needed real food and we found it. They were extremely friendly and the food was delicious. Note: this region has a little more of a kick and it was yummy. We got chicken biryani that had great flavor, tikka masala that was wonderful, and beef kobideh and chicken seikh all so flavorful. I also highly recommend the garlic naan. If you are in the area and need a break from all the park food or need some great regional food, try this place.

    This is such a great place, the owner is so sweet and generous! Great food, very fresh and flavorful. They also have a great venue for parties, check them out!

    Walked in at around 6:50pm on a Friday night. I was told that they will be doing a $14.99 buffet starting at 8PM and will also be having a karaoke night but if I wanted to order A La Carte, they would be very accommodating. The rest of our party showed up about 20 minutes later. The one star knockoff is not for the food (which was amazing) or service to me, but what I saw happen before the rest of my party arrived. There were two gentlemen who walked in right before me with a baby. They sat down and asked to look at the menu. One of them ended up using the restroom. After about 5 to 10 minutes they handed the menus back and said they weren't sure about what they wanted to eat. The owner or someone who worked here was quite rude to them telling them that restrooms are for customers only and that they will have to pay $2. I think the way it was handled was a bit rude. As far as the service I received, it was great. We ended up ordering the following: 1 chicken tikka leg (2 pcs) 1 nihari 1 seekh kabob (beef) 1 seekh kabob (chicken) 1 boti kabob (beef) 3 naans and 1 garlic naan 4 chais 1 mango lassi Everything was fresh and tasteful. I felt like it had the right amount of spice to it. My recommendation would be to get the beef seekh kabob and nihari as I enjoyed both items more than the chicken items. The garlic naan is also a must have! None of the bbq dishes were dry, a common problem at other restaurants. My dad said his mango lassi was different than any other restaurant he has had it at. Considering he doesn't like it at other places, I took as a positive sign. The people working there were very nice about getting us one naan right away since the kids in our party were very hungry. They interacted with everyone in our party and were trying to encourage the girls to sing. Very friendly to us. The wait time for the food is what is expected when preparing fresh food. The chai took a while to make, but when ordering, I was told straight up it would take a while. Transparency is very much appreciated. The only other drawback was the service charge was already included when I went to pay the bill but I didn't notice it and added an extra tip. I think they should let you know up front that the service charge has been added. Overall the food was a definite 5/5 for me. And that is a rare occurrence for Desi food that is not my mom's. We will be coming back. I hope they keep the food quality the same.

    Buffet items

    I visited Tikka Guys on a Friday night with about 20 other relatives. They had a special Eid dinner buffet where they were charging $20 at the door for anyone entering. Afterwards people could participate in karaoke. Most of the participants did Indian songs from the 70's and 80's, none of which I was familiar with nor was I interested in. The buffet consisted of BBQ chicken, biryani, an Afghani rice, palak paneer (spinach curry), daal (lentil curry), chicken curry, chicken tikkah masalah, naan, and another curry dish that didn't look too appetizing. For dessert they had kheer (rice pudding dish). The BBQ chicken and naan tasted pretty good. The chicken was juicy and was seasoned nicely. I had hoped there would be more grilled meat options at the buffet as I had heard great things about Tikka Guys. The rest of the dishes tasted just ok and nothing particularly stood out. The buffet was definitely not worth the $20 price tag. The restaurant was packed beyond the capacity of what this place could safely handle. Seating was tight and cramped. 30 minutes after I arrived they announced the buffet was open. A mad dash of about 100+ people ran to the buffet, which had only 1 side open. There were multiple lines merging into 1 line. It was crazy. The restaurant was also extremely hot inside and I was sweating profusely. Overall I was extremely disappointed with the buffet, the logistics of how they handled the buffet, how packed this place was, and the lack of A/C (especially since it was over 100 degrees earlier in the day). I definitely would not be coming back.

    The chicken Tikka is awesome! And the weekend buffet is decent. The space is uncomfortable and needs some style and inspiration.

They also have sweet treats like mango lassi which is also good and cooling after the spicy food. Being 100% honest, the people make the place even better. Every time I've come in, the people working are so generous and hospitable- offering insight and even samples for their food. The inside is also super nicely decorated and the music is "vibey" too (my bf's exact words). They moving locations to Garden Grove, but I have no doubt that their new location will be just as amazing (and probably more amazing as well). Anaheim will miss you so much!!

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!

    This is the first ever Yelp review I've made, but I simply had to write something after coming…read morehere. From the jump, my friends and I felt so welcome, all thanks to our man Jake, who so attentively took our order. This man was such a vibe and provided top-tier customer service in spite of being short staffed. He always had a smile on this face and handled everything so well, especially the 11pm rush that came shortly after we ordered. I can write so much more about him, but he honestly set the stage for what I think of the best dining establishments I've ever been to. Shoutout Jake! The food? No notes. It was tasty, scrumptious, divine, exquisite, all of the above. That food was made with love and care -- shoutout to the kitchen staff! I got the crispy chicken sandwich and woah, what a revelation! Eggplant on the sandwich? Such a game changer, like some next level stuff here honestly. My friend got a burger and oh my god, I only had one bite, but it was honest to god one of the best burgers I've ever had in my life. My other friends got chicken tenders. Tender doesn't just describe the chicken but also the souls who prepared and served this amazing platter. They honestly put every other chicken tender I've had to shame, I'm afraid I won't ever have another chicken tender without comparing it to YoYos. Sides were scrumptious and the sauces that came with them were so good too. I don't know how they did it, but the soft drinks had something special too. Nothing disappointed, I'm telling you! I wish I took more photos of the food but it was just so good that I didn't have time for that. I had such an emotional experience eating here, and I wasn't under the influence or anything -- it was just that good! I could preach to the choir and write a whole song (maybe album) about how amazing my experience was here. It was so magical, I nearly cried thinking about how lucky I was to eat here and break bread with friends. I live in west LA and I would honestly drive however long it takes, even in traffic, just to eat here again. It was simply that good. It's one of those places that you just can't gatekeep because I honestly think a visit here would heal so many traumas and bad days. This was the perfect end to a day with friends, and I will be coming back sometime soon. You will not regret coming here, I guarantee it! If you do, I just think you're lying for clout because I firmly believe this place could not disappoint anyone! P.S. just in case I didn't highlight Jake enough, I need everyone to know that he is the man! The experience would be nothing if it weren't for him. P.S. again: if I were on death row or another situation with a "last meal" type of arrangement, YoYos would need to be a part of that final meal so that I could die so happy and enlightened

Me and…read moremy friend are not lamb fans and was a bit hesitant on ordering the food so we did hold off on ordering for ourselves. And said we decided to share and eat off of my two brothers plate before we decided to consider coming back or eating more. There was only one worker that was working at the time, but she did a phenomenal job, considering she was holding down the fort for the restaurant by herself. She also mentioned she doesn't like lamb, but she would eat the one here herself so it gave me a pretty good first impression thus far. We ordered the lamb skewers, grilled rib, shank over rice, homemade yogurt, and Cole slaw. Lamb Skewers - 4.5/5 the portion was very generous! $15 for 3 large skewers that was about 1.25 ft length each. Was perfectly grilled and did not taste gamey at all. I believe it was Szechuan pepper that seasoned the skewers. I didn't eat enough to recognize if there was any numbing, but the bite that I took was amazing. Outside was crunchy inside was chewy enough to enjoy, but not tough. Grilled rib - 5/5 I was very pleasantly surprised at how although it was very charred and crunchy in the outside that the inside was very soft and fatty. The meat literally fell off the bone. Again, no gaminess and very pleasant to enjoy. Shank - 5/5 I would have to say that this was the hero of the evening from all the dishes we ordered. The meat was extremely soft, fatty, and literally fell off the bone as I was holding it up. It was very similar to pork flavor and extremely enjoyable for me. On a separate note, I enjoyed that so much but because I had already eaten before this dinner, I came back a separate day to have that dish for myself. The rice seems to be cooked in some type of protein broth and if I had to guess it's probably lamb broth along with carrot. It also came with size of pickled items to lighten the fatness from the meat as well as a small bowl of lamb based soup. Homemade yogurt - 4/5 had a slight tartness to it and light sweetness, but was more leaning towards the sweet side of things. I enjoyed it with the dried raisins and the granola for texture and it was a pretty good ending to the entire meal. Coleslaw - 3/5 it tasted average and didn't seem to be anything special. Though it was good to have it along with all the other protein items to lighten up each bite.

    Growing up in Hong Kong ,…read more lamb wasn't something I ate very often. It wasn't until I moved to SoCal that I discovered all-lamb restaurants like M Joy. It's basically a dream come true for lamb lovers -- almost every meat dish on the menu is lamb! This popular halal restaurant specializes in Xinjiang-style lamb dishes. The lamb rib with rice was incredibly tender and practically fell off the bone. The grilled lamb shank and grilled lamb ribs are also must-orders if you love bold, flavorful dishes. And don't miss the lamb skewers! They come in both spicy and non-spicy options. One thing that really surprised me was their classic sweet tea. They also have a salty version... but we definitely went with sweet. Oh, and you can request extra side dishes and soup too! Definitely come hungry. IG: socalhkfoodies

For two, we ordered the "individual portions" of Mandi Chicken (young chicken roasted with Yemeni spices) & Lalamb Haneeth (a roasted young lamb that falls off the bone). These were both served over a large platter of Mandi rice and came with Yemeni sauce and yogurt. It was expertly made, yet still gave us the warmth of a homestyle meal. The generous portions resulted in a second meal for me! On a Tuesday night, this place was quite packed with friends and families. It seems like wonderful place to host parties or business meetings. Someone nearby us had a birthday, and a group of staff came out with a dessert, blasting a traditional birthday song over the speakers and encouraged the whole restaurant to clap along! Despite the large gatherings, the restaurant is a no-reservation spot. They have a covered patio outside to seat an overflow of customers in case. Thankfully, my boyfriend and I were seated right away. They had a contactless menu, and we scanned a QR code to check our food options, but a server took our order and offered great recommendations once we waved him down. I would love to come back and try other dishes, like their grilled chicken or lamb--as well as the desserts and teas !!
