    YES, YES AND AGAIN YES!!!! We came here because I saw online that on Wednesdays they do a 8.99 burger WITH an egg on it! We were skeptical but wow were we pleasantly surprised!! My Husband has never had a burger with an egg on it and now this place has completely changed his mind!! One of the best burgers I've ever had!!! Jon was an awesome server!! Very attentive and on top of everything we needed!! This place used to be the old rock and brews, but I am so glad it changed to Villa Haven!!! Also(although I don't partake) It has a hookah lounge outside.!!!! Definitely come here if you're looking for a great burger!!! so excited to try what else is on the menu!!

    Wow!! I had no idea this place existed so close! I just found out about this hidden gem because of the World Cup games. The atmosphere is amazing!! The food is good and the hookahs are flavorful! We made reservations as it gets crowded quickly and you don't want to miss any FIFA action. We enjoyed food, drinks and entertainment. Belly dancer and DJ on Saturday nights! Perfect for a night out, dinner or even to host a party! I highly recommend! Awesome staff! Definitely my go to hang out spot!

    My family and I had a great time at this venue while watching the USA game! The atmosphere was fantastic, and the food didn't disappoint. My beef kabobs were outstanding--perfectly cooked and full of flavor. My son ordered the chicken kabobs and said they were good, though not quite as memorable as the beef. The rest of the group really enjoyed the beers and the variety of sauces. On top of that, the service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and fast. We had such a great experience that we're already going back again today!

    Hard Seltzer on tap
    Anita M.

    Hubby and I came here for drinks on a Saturday evening, as we've been curious about Villa Haven for a while now. It was not busy at all, maybe one other party at the bar and a family who was dining in. Our waitress/bartender was quick to serve us - but on round 2, we asked for the Pink Lemonade Hard Seltzer that was advertised and she seemed lost. She asked if we wanted to try something else that wasn't a hard seltzer and we kindly declined. However, we noticed the Pink Lemonade Hard Seltzer was on the side opposite of the fridge she opened. This seemed kind of disappointing that the worker didn't know where their own products were at. So we got the Hard Seltzer on tap (I think it was either Brewery X or Truly) and I got the Yuzu Lychee which was delicious. When it came time to pay our bill, there were now two servers at the bar, and 2-3 just standing around talking and not paying attention. No new parties entered while we were there - and it took forever to grab their attention that we wanted the check. I had to personally walk over to let them know. Yes, it may have been a bad day, but I feel it was slow enough to where we shouldn't have been ignored. I would probably give them another shot - as the Pineapple Margarita was really good. 3 stars for now - until next time. I hope to be able to update my review in the near future.

    Had the best time ever during the Mexico game. Our server Marcy was on top of it and had the best drink and food recommendations from the menu. Sam the man with the plan is amazing we can't wait for the next game thank you Villa haven we had so much fun !!!

    Has a big and pretty outside patio seating area. There's hookah smoking on the patio area. Inside looks like a large brewery. Has lots of TVs for watching sports. Good,friendly customer service. Has live entertainment some nights. They had a belly dancer and a DJ...the night I came. In my opinion, this place is a Mediterranean and American fusion type of place.

    The Royal Burger
    Richard K.

    Tried the "Royal" Burger. OMG! it was perfect! cool sports bar vibe, plenty of seating, all the best beers on tap. Noah the chef even came out and spoke with us. Super nice guy and tier 1 chef.

    Dip Trio! Best thing we ordered!
    Sarah D.

    To my surprise, I had no idea that this was where the old Rock N' Brews used to be located. It's in a shopping center with plenty of parking, no need to worry about that! My friend and I came for lunch on a Friday at 12pm and there was maybe 2 other parties here and then us. We sat outside as it was a lovely day, but I think that turned out to be a bad decision as there was only 1 server working and it seemed that we were being neglected because we were outside. Times in between us ordering our drinks and appetizer and then entree was too far in between and we were never checked on during the meal. The best thing we ordered was the Dip Trio! HIGHLY recommend! They give you HUGE portions of hummus, tzatziki, and baba ghanoush. My only thing is I wish they provided more veggie sticks/pitas for the amount of dips they give you (as you can see, those dishes are DEEP). The garlic paste on my chicken & kofta meal tasted very bland/microwaved. The garlic paste was NOT what I was expecting and tasted more like oil and not fresh garlic. The chicken was decent as was the kofta, but the veggies were bland as well. My friend ordered the Mediterranean salad was highly disappointed in that is was supposed to come with mixed greens as it is easier for her to eat than iceberg and the waitress didn't seem to have an answer as to why it was made wrong. My friend also ask and confirmed if the chicken was like a chicken kabob and not just plain white chicken breast and asked if she can have the kabob chicken with the salad, and she did not get that. We did not each much of our entree and stuck with the appetizer. We might be going to a more authentic Mediterranean restaurant next time as this is more of a fusion restaurant with only a small section of Mediterranean food.

    I think the restaurant's branding may create some confusion. While it is presented as Mediterranean…read morecuisine, much of the menu appears to be centered on Afghan and Persian (Iranian) dishes, with some influences from neighboring regional cuisines. Items such as bolani, koobideh, and other menu offerings are more commonly associated with Afghan and Persian culinary traditions. Although the menu also includes Mediterranean staples such as falafel, shawarma, and hummus, those dishes seem to represent a smaller portion of the overall selection. The mint lemonade was not very sweet, which is a matter of personal preference. I also found the color unusually vibrant, and after sitting for a while, the drink began to separate, which I found somewhat unexpected. The pizza was disappointing. It reminded me of a typical store-bought pizza, and I have had frozen pizzas that offered better flavor and quality. The beef koobideh and beef kebab were decent and enjoyable, but they did not particularly stand out compared to similar dishes available at other local restaurants. Service was somewhat disappointing during our visit. The hostess/server appeared to be managing a large number of tables on her own and seemed genuinely overwhelmed at times. While the overall service experience was not as attentive as I would have liked, it appeared to be more a matter of staffing or workload than a lack of effort on her part. The highlight of the experience was the patio. It is a pleasant space to relax, enjoy a cup of tea, and spend time outdoors. For me, the atmosphere was stronger than the food itself.

    Cairo Restaurant & Cafe - Anaheim Rating: (5/5)…read more I ordered from Cairo Restaurant & Cafe through Uber Eats, and this ended up being one of the most meaningful food experiences I've had in a long time. For context, I come from Egyptian heritage. I'm first-generation American, and both of my parents grew up in Cairo. The dishes I ordered -- Hawashy as an appetizer and Makaroni Bechamel (Bashmil) casserole -- are foods I grew up with. The last time I had this exact meal cooked for me by my mother was several years ago, so placing this order felt like a gamble, especially with the restaurant being all the way in Anaheim while I live in Irvine. That gamble paid off immediately. From the very first bite, the food tasted unmistakably authentic. The hawashy was deeply seasoned, rich, and comforting -- exactly how it's supposed to be, not watered down or adjusted for convenience. The makaroni bechamel was the real emotional gut punch in the best way possible. Creamy, savory, perfectly spiced, and layered the way it's done back home. It tasted like something made with care, patience, and respect for the dish. I'm not exaggerating when I say this meal hit me hard. After one bite, I literally called the restaurant just to thank them. I asked to speak to the manager and told him what this meal meant to me -- how it tasted like something my own mother would make, how it brought back memories I didn't realize I'd been missing. That call wasn't planned. It was instinctive. Huge shout-out to Zayne, the manager, who was incredibly kind and generous on the phone. He even sent along kunafa for dessert, which was the perfect ending to the meal -- warm, sweet, and beautifully made. Beyond the food itself, the packaging deserves real praise. Everything arrived hot, which is not easy, especially for a casserole like makaroni bechamel. Once that dish cools too much, it loses something important. This didn't. It arrived as if it had just come out of the oven, which speaks volumes about the care taken in preparing orders for delivery. This is not a 5-star review because of nostalgia or heritage alone. It's a 5-star review because the food was genuinely outstanding -- rich, decadent, comforting, and made the right way. It is very hard for me to say that something compares to my mother's cooking, but this truly came close. I cannot wait to come in person in the next few weeks. Cairo Restaurant & Cafe didn't just serve food -- they delivered a memory.

    Came in last night for a quick bite. Lots of people smoking hookah on the patio but I sat inside…read more Wasn't super hungry so I just got the lentil soup and hawawshy, which is an Egyptian street food where they stuff pita bread with ground beef and spices.

The gentleman in the blue button-up was the most attentive, kind person I've ever seen at a restaurant, so thank you SO MUCH for such a great first experience for our big party (minus the birthday couple since they always come here). I wish there was a Christakis closer to me so I can enjoy it wayyyy more, but having it whenever I visit my dear is not an issue either!! Thank you Christakis!!!!

It was Greek easter and also happened to be my mother's 70th birthday. When I called a few weeks prior to make the reservation, knowing it would be Greek Easter, I was worried we wouldn't be able to get a table or that we'd be discouraged from coming in that at day especially because we'd be a bit group and maybe take up a lot of space. Mike could not have been more gracious or accommodating. Early the day of, it started raining and before I could make a call about changing plans (we were set for the outside patio) Mike had already messaged me with THREE other sitting options. He was kind and courteous and had a plan for if it rained or if the rained stopped. He also made a birthday sign for my mom and used a special birthday plate written in greek. Lots of special touches. They even had the greek musician come and play next to my mom while we all sang happy birthday. The place was so beautiful for Easter too. There was sweet bread, red eggs and lamb entree options. The kids liked the greek music and danced after we ate cake (which they allowed us to bring in but if you go you HAVE to get the baklava!). The way Mike and Austin handled our table made us all feel so special. And I could tell by the way they were greeting and talking with guests how much they enjoyed their greek patrons. I also enjoyed just how friendly everyone was and knowing it was Easter there was a connection and family-feel when you were greeted by other guests with Christos Anesti. When we left my husband and I and the kids were already discussing when we'd want to go back because we just had the best time. I can't thank Mike enough for providing such a wonderful Easter and birthday experience. efcharistó polý!
