Our first time and wonderful experience. Sir Christian is a great server! Every thing we tried is amazing. Service is great!

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

I was in the area and wanted to something semi healthy after a long hike! My daughter recommended we go to Chicken Maison, the next one on our way home was in Santa Ana. We arrived and it was located in a shopping center, and there was plenty of parking. We walked in and the place was busy. The cashier was the sweetest girl with a big smile and very friendly. There is indoor seating and outdoor seating. They also have a clean bathroom. We ordered half chicken with the spicy lemon, garlic sauce, falafel, spicy hummus, and pita bread and vegetables. Everything was spectacular! The food was brought out to our table, hot, fresh and delicious. This place was already getting five stars, but if I can give them another star, I would. A manager or another employee came to our table and asked us how our food was and how we were doing. She was genuine, friendly, and not overbearing. I saw that she did this as she walked the floor. You don't get this kind of service anymore. We also were picking up our plates to tidy up after ourselves, and an employee came rushing to us to tell us that she would take care of it. Top notch service! I want to give this store location an applause for customer service and delicious food. If I'm in the area, I'm definitely coming back! read more

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

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, 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

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

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

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

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 Maison - 1/2 Spicy Lemon Garlic Chicken Combo, falafel, steamed vegetables, and spicy Hummus - Mediterranean Near Me - Santa Ana, California

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

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

Chicken Maison - 1/2 Chicken Original with Hummus and Maison Rice - 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

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 so solid. I know the different sauces are popular but I prefer the original rotisserie chicken as is. Their garlic sauce really isn't toum, which I prefer, but it's good. My favorite sides are tabbouleh and especially the spicy hummus. So good. Decently healthy option for eating out. 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

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 used to eat at Chicken Maison all the time years ago when they were down the street at the other Santa Ana location. I was so happy to hear that they had relocated and I had to try it out! I was not disappointed. We ordered the 1/4 spicy lemon garlic chicken with Maison brown rice and hummus as well as the 1/4 lemon basil chicken with the spicy potato salad and Maison brown rice. First of all, the 1/4 chicken plate comes with plenty of food. Out of the two flavors we chose, my favorite was the spicy lemon garlic. It was so flavorful, lemony, and just absolutely delicious. I personally didn't think it was very spicy. The lemon basil flavor was also really good, but you can definitely taste mostly basil as the main ingredient. The chicken is so tender and juicy. Not dry at all. Next time, I would like to try the Maison original flavor. The sides are also so yummy. I remember years ago, they would just give you the Maison white rice with raisins, but now they have the option of Maison brown rice. I loved it! I'm usually not a huge fan of raisins in my food, but the raisins add a nice sweetness to the rice and I don't mind them at all. I really recommend getting the hummus as well. It's just a classic hummus which goes well with the chicken and pita. The spicy potato salad was good, although not my favorite. I love that the meals came with a side of their white sauce and pita bread. I'm not sure exactly what they put in their white sauce, but it is amazing. The restaurant is very spacious and clean. Our food came out pretty quickly too! I really have no complaints and would love to return. 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

Crazy good halal rotisserie chicken spot! The chicken was so juicy and flavorful! We got the maison original spice and the spicy lemon on 2 separate chickens. Both were amazingly delicious! The family meal comes with 4 large sides and pita bread. Garlic sauce too before I forget was different than other Mediterranean places but went really well with fries (fries are not on the menu but you can order it). It was pretty busy on a Saturday nite but the servers were being as attentive as possible. The indoor seating was cozy and felt like you were at home sharing a meal with the family. 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

Chicken Maison - Lemon Basil Chicken combo plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Chicken Maison has been one of my go-to Mediterranean spots for the last 5 years. Their food is always amazing and the workers are always welcoming and friendly. I always order the half chicken, spicy garlic with rice and hummus with an extra side of spicy sweet coleslaw. This should be enough food for 2 people unless you're a bodybuilder, wild bear, or just a big back mf. They always provide free pita bread and garlic sauce on the side for you to make your own wraps. Make sure to shred that chicken and soak it in the spicy garlic sauce it's marinaded in. Open those pita wraps up, line it up with hummus and garlic sauce, and then stuff it with everything that you ordered. Admire the masterpiece you just concocted and then proceed to take the biggest bite that your mouth could possibly handle. Welcome to Mediterranean heaven. read more

This is a chicken place, PLZZZZ get the chicken!! Tried the gyro- it was dry and had a weird texture. Vegetable plate: perfectly sour and all the flavors were amazing. My mouth waters thinking about it. The dolmas were amazing!!! They tasted like they're freshly made, not from the can. I had to order 6 more dolmas to go. Spicy chicken: very well seasoned, topped with a lot of herbs and chilli oil. My togo order of an extra gyro plate sat for a while because they couldn't find my order when I asked. So the service could be improved, but the food is delicious! read more

I was finishing up a walk in the nearby area and saw this on my way to a fast food establishment located next store and decided to try Chicken Mason since I've never dined here. Parking is shared but even on a Saturday there was available parking in the shared strip center. We placed four entrees and was given a number to place on our table. The eatery was quite busy since it was the lunch hour. I ended up ordering the gyro plate that included Maison rice. Served with hummus, green salad, pita bread, and tzatziki sauce. The quantity was generous, and the taste was yummy. Service was prompt in a clean and comfortable dining area. Overall, I would certainly return here again when in the area again. read more

Ordered Chicken Maison through DoorDash after hearing a lot of good things about it, so I went in with fairly high expectations. Overall, it was... fine. Passable, but nothing that really stood out. I ordered the lemon basil double white rotisserie chicken with hummus and steamed vegetables. The chicken itself was middle of the road. There was a ton of oil and garlic, but surprisingly not much basil coming through. Rotisserie chicken is one of those foods that's usually decent even when it isn't great, and that's pretty much where this landed: perfectly edible, but nothing memorable. The steamed vegetables were exactly what they sound like. To be fair, ordering steamed vegetables is already a bit of a masochistic choice on my part. The only steamed vegetables I've ever actually been impressed by are somehow from Panda Express, which probably tells you something about my expectations going in. The hummus was better than the typical supermarket version, but still nothing particularly impressive. Solid, but not something I'd go out of my way for. The pita was that dry, mealy kind of pita you often get from restaurants that clearly aren't putting any effort into it. At that point it almost feels like, why bother including it at all? Overall, the meal was fine, but given the hype I'd heard, I expected something a bit more memorable. Perfectly acceptable if you're in the mood for it, but not something I'd rush back to order again. read more

LOVE this Mediterranean spot. It's healthy, great protein and veggies and HUGE portions for what you're paying.

The service was great. Everyone I encountered had a smile. I am sorry but the food was not good at all. I ordered the chicken kabob entree with hummus and rice. As soon as I tasted the garlic sauce I immediately knew it was mayonnaise. I detest mayonnaise. Garlic sauce is not supposed to be made with mayonnaise. My hummus tasted as bad as Costco hummus and perhaps that is what it was. This was my first visit and I brought my coworker for her birthday lunch. I really wanted to switch my meal because it was that bad but didn't want to cause a scene. I tried their watermelon drink and it didn't taste fresh either. So disappointed. read more

The chicken here is fall off the bone good! Seriously and literally! This is one of two Orange County locations with the rest up in LA.

They have three delicious options to choose from! read more

Was in town for 2 1/2 days for a conference and ate here twice! Yes, it was so good, fresh and delicious. Wish I loved closer to come more often. I came in on a Tuesday night and Thursday night. Both nights had plenty of other patrons ordering, waiting for their orders or eating their meals. I was able to place my order in a reasonable amount of time and my food was ready in a good amount of time. By the time I made it back to the hotel 10 minutes later, the food was still warm. I ordered the 1/2 spicy lemon chicken plate with spicy potato salad and cabbage salad. Neither the cabbage nor the potato salad are made with mayo so it's very light, very flavorful with lemon and other delicious seasonings that don't weigh you down. Chicken Maison is my favorite place to stop by when I'm in Orange County. Don't pass up the opportunity to try the most flavorful, moist chicken and delicious middle eastern food in Orange County! read more
