Great first time experience at Chicken Maison! I am new to the area, so was excited find some local restaurants, and Chicken Maison had such amazing reviews, I had to try it out. The cashier was extremely nice and helpful when ordering, making recommendations and telling me about the most popular dishes. I followed his guidance and ordered 1/4 Spicy Lemon Garlic Chicken, with maison rice and tabbouleh. It was phenomenal. The chicken was cooked perfectly, not dry at all, and the marinade was super flavorful. Mixing all 3 components together led to the perfect bite! I also tried their baklava, which I learned is made fresh in-house. It was flaky and tasty without being too sweet. I can't wait to return and also take out of town guests here! Next up I want to try the kabobs. read more

Honestly this place has been a staple for me for years now. The spicy lemon chicken is top tier and I usually get it with hummus and steamed veggies or potato salad if I'm craving that. I love that there are so many options. Don't forget to ask for extra garlic sauce!! read more

My husband took the day off, so after shopping at South Coast Plaza, we were craving Chicken Maison. My husband is obsessed with their Spicy Lemon Garlic sauce. He said that Chicken Maison might be his favorite place to eat because of that sauce. He could eat it once a week and not get sick of it. I got their 1/2 Chicken Original Combo with rice and hummus. I enjoyed my meal. Everything was good. I just wish I would've substituted one of the sides with a salad. That would've balanced out my meal. read more

I ordered Sole fillet plates from door dash and I was so excited since this place has high reviews but when the food arrived I was extremely shocked. As I was enjoying my food I noticed a long string like texture from my fish. I got scared but wanted to know what it was. It was a WORM!! The long worm kept coming out from the fish! I was so shocked and disgusted! I can't believe this happened. I called the manager and she kept denying my claim. She stated that it was impossible since all her fish is grilled..... like okay so the quality of your fish can't be bad because you grill them? She would not believe me that I found this worm from the fish! Then she said to come back and she can make me a new one? I didn't want more food from this place, I wanted a refund to which she said she couldn't give me since it was through DoorDash. Really upset they couldn't do much to help me and kept denying my claim.... So I told her I would just upload photos here on yelp for her to see. I'm currently 27 weeks pregnant, I hope everything is okay with my baby. I'm worried about this. Beware... there are worms in the fish plates here read more

It was my first time bringing my girlfriend here and I was so excited because I haven't been here in YEARS. As I came into the restaurant I was welcomed with super friendly service! She was able to help tell us her favorite. Another younger gentleman was also helping us and he was very personable and attentive. It was a calming and relaxing environment. 2000s R&B was playing and we were jammin while waiting for our food. Food: - 1/4 Chicken with rice and salad for $10 is a STEAL - I gave this one to my girlfriend and it's just as tender as I remembered it. Although the drumstick was a little bit more salty than the thigh for Spicy Lemon Garlic -Beef Kafta with Fallafel & Spicy Cole Slaw - I thought the beef was a little bit salty too but with the pita and salad it was good! Thanks so much Chicken Maison for the wonderful meal! We'll definitely be back soon. read more

Chicken Maison is, dare I say, the best mediterranean spot in OC. There, I said it! We got the whole lemon basil chicken combo, with hummus and tabouli for our sides. Their sides are huge portions. We also got the gyro plate with potato salad and more hummus. They also give u pita bread. Let me tell you, everything was so fresh and delicious. Both of the meats were far from dry and had so much flavor. They have the best hummus that pairs perfectly with everything. This spot is order then sit down, but the staff is super present there and there to help with anything you need. Many people also stop by and order to go. read more

Chicken Maison - Whole Lemon Basil Chicken Combo & Gyro Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Chicken Maison in Santa Ana is absolutely amazing! Everything was so good and incredibly fresh. The service was great, friendly, attentive, and welcoming, and the restrooms were clean , which I always appreciate. There's plenty of seating both inside and outside, making it a comfortable spot whether you're dining in or with a group. I love kabobs, chicken, spicy chicken kabob and shawarma wrap with fries, and Mediterranean food overall--so this place was a must for me, and it did not disappoint. Steamed veggies galore, they are VERY GENEROUS WITH THEIR PORTIONS. So good! Bonus points for the ample parking , which makes the whole experience even better. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Service was super fast even though were getting a bit busy. The location was kept clean and were picking up dishes from tables right away which is nice! The manager also came up asking if everything was good . The food was super good and fresh. I got the 1/2 spicy lemon garlic chicken combo with falafel and veggies. As well as a side of spicy hummus. Both were not too spicy if you like super spicy stuff but still very good! read more

Chicken, arguably, is a form of art for certain people. That type of canvas lies in different aspects of chicken itself; how comforting is the chicken, how does the chicken present itself to you, how the chicken is served when paired with others, how much is the chicken worth it and overall, how does it taste. If we look at the first aspect in this case, the chicken here at Chicken Maison situates itself in a big parking lot with a big atrium of a restaurant with plenty of seating and even all the utensils, drinks and sides at your disposal. Let alone a very mediterranean decor set up. ‍‍ Now there's only one place to get said chicken from right? The front counter, who graciously asked us how my day was and even asked if it was my first time. Gleefully discovering that it was my first day as such. From then, every part of the menu explained, every aspect including seasoning and what would go best with it. Keep in mind that this level of service is going with average level pricing for chicken. You won't find that at a lot of places especially given how chicken can be plainly sold time to time. Given the portions, I'd say price-wise for other items and the chicken itself, isn't disappointing. Speaking of chicken, this where I was guided to have the Lemon Garlic Spicy Whole Chicken paired with kale salad and the coleslaw they make in house. Now the chicken itself, to my surprise wasn't just mainly savory but that lemon spice taste is there. It's the first thing to welcome you upon your first bite actually. Now would I have changed my sides, a little bit! Given that one needs to balance the tanginess of the sauce so if it were to be paired with anything then hey, coleslaw and rice. Or even just vegetables and rice to balance it out. Everything considered, definitely a place to find good chicken for a good price for a good portion with good service! read more

Always had this place delivered but the food hits every time. Very generous portion sizes and all the chicken is well seasoned as there is no lack in flavor. The chicken is relatively juicy and pairs well with the green salad/brown rice. They also give you 2 pieces of bread on the side with garlic sauce. read more

Chicken Maison has been on my list for a while and I'm so happy I finally got to try it! Louie in the front was so kind and helpful, and graciously answered all of our questions as first-timers! We ended up each ordering 1/2 chicken per person, which comes with two sides of your choosing, and the portions are huge! We opted for the spicy lemon garlic and it did not disappoint! If you're typically a fan of lemon pepper or anything tangy/zesty, you'll definitely like it :) However it really isnt spicy at all but maybe you can ask for hot sauce or chili oil if you like a kick. Also you know this place is good when over half the customers were on lunch break in their uniforms! read more

I've been looking for a good rotisserie chicken place and found it at Chicken Maison! This is a fast causal place, where you order at the counter and get a number. You can choose from four different flavors of rotisserie chicken - I highly recommend the spicy lemon garlic (which isn't spicy). The chicken is fall-of-the-bone tender and that chicken skin was hard to resist! For $14.90, you can get a 1/4 chicken with two sides. They also include pita bread. I got green salad and hummus, and it was more food than I could eat! My husband ordered the chicken kabob ($15.50), with a huge scoop of spicy potato salad and Maison rice. Orders also come with garlic sauce. Chicken Maison reminds me of Zankou Chicken - only better! The sides and the sauces on the chicken really puts this head and shoulders over other places. The staff is very friendly and will check in with you to see if you need anything. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Parking in the lot. read more

Spicy lemon chicken ... sooo flavorful. Got it with the rice and green salad. Comes with pita bread and garlic sauce. Next time I'm skipping the salad and doubling up on the rice (not sure if that's allowed). I already want to go back! Just wish I'd have tried it sooner. Customer service was great too. They were very helpful and friendly. Inside of the restaurant had plenty of seating. That's always a plus! Five stars in every category! read more

Chicken Maison - Mediterranean Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Chicken Maison is a chain of family owned-and-operated Mediterranean restaurants that started in Torrance. Now they have locations throughout the Southern California area. This location is in Santa Ana near South Coast Plaza with indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered at the counter and they gave us a number. We then found a table and they brought our food to us. To start, they provided complimentary pita bread to eat with hummus. We ordered the 1/2 chicken with lemon garlic spicy ($17.90) and the gyro plate ($17.90). The chicken was juicy, tender, and the sauce was flavorful. It wasn't super spicy as I thought even some of the sides were spicier. The gyro meat was good and I liked mixing it with the tzatziki sauce. For our sides we had the hummus, spicy hummus, cole slaw, and spicy potato salad. They were all good but my favorites were the spicy hummus and spicy potato salad. I preferred the spicy hummus over the regular hummus and the spicy potato salad was very refreshing. The service was friendly and the food came out fast. The portions were great and we were stuffed with a good amount of leftovers. read more

Food is spectacular! Finger licking deliciousness! Makes me want to lick the plate clean flavors. The tangy lemon is strong throughout all the pieces of chicken.

Great food and service. A must place to go to and you must try their baklava. The chicken is so tender and juicy!

This place always takes so long for their orders. They don't start until you are there to pick up. Wait takes forever, terrible!

Wow this place knows how to make Rotisserie Chicken just seem like the best thing to have at any point of the day! I have seen this place around for many years and have always noticed that it's been busy. Finally got to try it out and definitely see why people can't get enough of it. They serve Mediterranean style food but as their name says, the Chicken is the specialty. I tried their Half Chicken with the Maison Special seasoning and you get to choose two sides. I got the Maison Rice and Hummus since it already comes with Pita Bread. Just the flavor of the seasoning itself and how tender/soft the chicken was prepared made you want more. The rice was fluffy, soft and had great flavors. I don think I would try anything else besides the Rotisserie Chicken here even though they have other items like Gyro. A great find and highly recommended for a delicious hearty meal! read more

Have been coming here for years now. Their spicy garlic chicken is my go to! Their chicken is so delicious, it's never dry and the flavor is soooo good. I love getting their combos that come with sides. I got their potato salad most recently and thought it was a little too sour so maybe I'll avoid that next time. Hoping to try their kabobs and pasta next time I come by. read more

BUGS in all salads! Alive and dead. Worker tried to say it was their seasoning. Then she witnessed the bugs moving. We did receive a full refund but we will never return to this restaurant. They are obviously infested with bugs. Health department was contacted on 5/19/26. Disgusting. read more

Chicken Maison is known for their rotisserie chicken and that's what I usually order when I'm in the restaurant. Our office recently had lunch catering from Chicken Maison. Food was very fresh and delicious. Both meats, the gyro and grilled chicken were a bit dry but tasted good. Raisin rice is always good there. It's their specialty. Grilled mixed veggies were excellent, especially the mini sweet bell peppers and mushrooms. I can eat half of that tray alone as lunch, but I need to balance my meals out, so a bit of everything is perfect. Hummus was amazing! read more

I think you could really use improvement with your staff at the register. Miss Melissa seems a little bit off. We asked what was in a certain wrap, and she was just very vague about answering. I give her the benefit of the doubt, and I went back to order something that I had forgotten, and again was met with the same type of blank stare. Just not the same I came back for the food, but the service was not the best today. read more

The most welcoming experience I've ever had at any food joint. The service was unmatched and the food was so flavorful. I highly recommend this place! read more

I had low expectations, but the meal was actually extremely delicious. I got the chicken kebab which comes with a veggie kebab and pita with two sides. I got the tabbouleh and falafel. I was super shocked that the falafel was considered a side, especially because they came with three or four of them. The falafel were big and really yummy, not dry. The chicken was also tender and juicy. Tabbouleh was extremely fresh and perfect for a summer night. Also tried the spicy chicken rotisserie, which was also delicious. A great quick weeknight meal. The inside is clean, it's a fast casual environment. The cashier is extremely fast and efficient, so it would be beneficial to know what you're going to order before speaking to her. read more

I had the 1/4 dark chicken meat with salad and rice. The leg was salty, but the thigh was seasoned just right. It was a romaine and tomato salad. I expected the garlic sauce to be like the Toum name brand, a more garlic forward sauce, but it wasn't. The sauce had a thicker texture like hummus and a mellow garlic flavor, maybe that's an unfair comparison to Toum. My boyfriend had the kafta plate with spicy slaw and falafel. I enjoyed the kafta more because of the seasoning. Also, this location is extremely busy, especially on a Saturday afternoon. We received our pita bread a little later. But the food runner was so helpful and checked in with every table. I would love to return and take my parents here to try the kabobs. read more

This place has always been soooo delicious! I haven't had it in quite some time, but decided to order last night and was reminded all over again why Chicken Maison is king! Their service is quick and friendly, the food is fresh and so tasty, and the portions are quite generous. We ordered a spicy chicken pasta, whole spicy lemon garlic chicken, tabouleh, and spicy potato salad. We can confidently recommend all of those. Also, their garlic sauce that comes with the complimentary pita is sooo yummy and creamy. Parking is plenty and convenient and inside the restaurant there's plenty of seating. What a win. read more

Chicken Maison is a chain and I've only been to this location twice but the food hits the spot every time. The parking at the Santa Ana location is relatively easy. I ordered the 1/2 spicy lemon garlic chicken with a side of hummus and green salad. It comes with pita bread on the side. Service was relatively good as well with the waiters coming to check on you a few times throughout your meal. If you're wanting a heavier meal that will get you full, this is definitely the place to go. read more

This place has been on my list for so long, I'm so glad I got to stop by. The chicken was juicy, fresh, seasoned so well. The spicy lemon garlic chicken was so delicious and the meals are huge. The rice was perfect and the hummus was so good. The Asian salad was full of flavor and honestly had a crunch to it and felt so fresh. The service was great and staff checked in on us a couple of times. It definitely can be a place that gets busy but makes total sense and they do their best to get out all of the food as soon as possible. It's a casual spot and has great service. read more
