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.

At first, my friend wasn't sure trying the dishes at this place due to some of the bad reviews such…read moreas the food was bland, etc. Plus, when we got there at 8pm, we only saw 2 customers were eating there. No waiters, no cashiers working there. It seems only the owner and perhaps the helper working there. The owner helped us on the menu selections. We finally ordered chicken Biryani, Nihari (similar to spicy beef curry) for $13.99 each & naan for $2.50. We ordered for to go. The food was ready pretty fast and we got the slices of persian cucumbers & lettuce that packed separately. When we tried the food, apparently the dishes we ordered were all good. The chicken biryani rice wasn't greasy, Nihari beef was good as well. The taste was perfect, not bland nor overpowering. My friend was surprised and we will for sure go back there again to try another dishes:)

We had an early dinner here the other day. There is plenty of parking available. The restaurant…read moreitself is very inviting and comfortable. They have a bar but we started with some mocktails. 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!

I love Indian food but my husband does not. I was staying at the hotel next door so I decided to…read moregive this a try. It is waiter service so I decided to get my food to go. The interior of the restaurant is trying to be fancy but it should be more of a casual restaurant. I ordered my usual Chicken Tikka Masala but for the first time I have had to order rice separately for an $18 entree. I'm used to ordering the naan separately but not the rice. When I picked up my order, there were no utensils and when I asked I got spoons only. Taste wise it was more creamy than full of spices. Food was plenty for one person! Tip there is a 10% coupon in the brochure from the hotel.

I've tried every avenue you can consume their food, so I can attest to consistent experiences all around. What we ordered this time: - Onion Kulcha - Basmati Rice - Butter Chicken - Goan Fish Curry - Mango Lassi I always order their butter chicken and love that they use tandoori chicken meat for it. The goan fish curry had a very mild and subtle flavor, and the coconut reminded me of Thai curry. I got medium spicy for butter chicken this time and I swear it was 3x spicier than when I've ordered medium spicy in the past, so I was so grateful we had a mango lassi to cool off with. Our recent fixation has been their kulcha, which has replaced our previous orders of naan. Got the onion kulcha this time, but will probably get aloo or gobi in the future because I prefer those fillings more.

Our order and others were lost in the cloud and we had to REORDER. So we did because we wanted to support the establishment, and just went down the street to do some shopping at target. What we ordered: lamb curry, chicken tikka masala, roti, and the bread sampler. Very flavorful for the curry and tikka, but our breads were very chewy--almost rubbery. Also the garlic naan had no garlic which we could have asked for a fix if we dined in. SO overall, dining seemed like the better choice and would recommend that over ordering for pick-up.

Very modest appearance, probably heightened from a lack of diners/customers; I was the only patron at the time. The walls were decorated with floral paintings and pictures of Indian spices. Fans and spiral shaped hanging lights adorned the ceiling. On the wall was a single flat tv playing a Bollywood music video (I think) with the audio turned down low. The walls were painted white with tan color laminate wood floors. I ordered my favorite, Malai Kofta over rice. Prices were decent, but not the cheapest either. The service was very fast! The vegetable fritters were delicious (as anticipated).
