I've seen this place many times as I drove by since they opened. As I've stated before in other reviews, there have been many Mediterranean restaurants popping up all over SoCal but this place hit the spot. I ordered the chicken plate and I have to say they cooked it differently but in a good way. The staff was welcoming and professional, and the interior and exterior was decently clean. Couldn't check the restroom since it was out of order. However, the service was great and food was amazing. Definitely going back.

Had a great experience at Koobikland! We ordered the Family Platter, Kashke E Bademjan (eggplant…read moredish), and a few dips, and pretty much everything was excellent. Family Platter - 5/5 The standout for me was the beef kebab. Honestly, it was one of the best kebabs I've had--so juicy, flavorful, and cooked really well. We actually ended up ordering two or three additional skewers because it was that good. Definitely the highlight of the meal! Kashke E Bademjan - 5/5 The eggplant dish was also amazing. Rich, flavorful, and a great addition to the meat. Dips - 5/5 We also tried the tzatziki and hummus/salad dip, and everything was really good. The pita bread was also a nice touch--they kept bringing us more, which was perfect because we were definitely eating a lot of it with all the meat and dips. Service was great as well. Everyone was attentive and kept the pita coming, which I really appreciated. Overall, this is a great spot for a date night or a family meal if you're looking for something a little more upscale while still getting really good, flavorful food. The beef kebab alone is worth coming back for. Definitely recommend!

My daughter absolutely loves their Koobideh, and we find ourselves coming back at least once a week.

The food was fantastic, and the tabbouleh vanished fast. I'm not saying there was a fight over the last bite... but let's just say friendships were tested. Zena's is definitely a winner!

I finally tried DönerG Turkish & Mediterranean Grill in Santa Ana, and we were seriously impressed!…read more We ordered the Turkish Fries and the Istanbowl, and both were absolutely delicious. The Turkish Fries were loaded with perfectly seasoned, tender döner meat and flavorful toppings that made every bite better than the last. The Istanbowl was fresh, colorful, and packed with crisp cucumbers, tomatoes, pickled vegetables, feta, jalapeños, corn, and incredibly flavorful döner over rice. The ingredients tasted fresh, the portions were generous, and every bite was full of flavor. The customer service was impeccable. Everyone was welcoming, friendly, and patient, making us feel like valued guests from the moment we walked in. Great food is one thing, but exceptional hospitality is what keeps people coming back and DönerG absolutely delivers both. One of my favorite parts of the experience was watching the meat slowly roasting on the vertical spit. It made me wonder if this was the inspiration behind Mexico's famous al pastor, and sure enough, it is! Learning about that culinary connection made the meal even more enjoyable.

I honestly wish I never tried this place. Reason being is it's some of the best Middle Eastern…read morefood I have ever tasted yet one of the worst parking lots I have experienced. Now I will be craving the delicious Aleppo hot sauce knowing I have to brave a nightmare parking lot. It's a teeny tiny parking lot with odd angles and bottlenecks with a surprising amount of restaurants sharing it. Makes zero sense. After circling three times I dropped my wife off and parked across the street risking getting towed. There's a ton of construction so hopefully more parking is on the way. That said, food is outstanding. Service was also perfection. Cuisine here is from Syria so there a lot of interesting dishes I haven't seen before. We started with deep fried spring rolls stuffed with akkawi cheese imported from Syria. Expensive but order it. I ordered the "khashkhash" kabob plate which was 4 grilled kefta kabobs served on a surprisingly spicy sauce of tomatoes and Aleppo peppers. It was served with a mound of buttery rice sprinkled with Aleppo peppers and a cabbage salad. Honestly the best kabops I've ever had. Absolutely loved the flavors. I devoured the whole plate while eyeing the parking lot across the street for tow trucks. Portion could easily be shared. My wife went with the Gyro flatbread. I scoffed saying "this isn't a Greek restaurant" but the joke was on me because I was envious. House made flat bread topped with gyro, tzatziki, pickled onions, tomatoes, feta, sumac, and Aleppo peppers. I took a few bites and retracted my previous scoff. They had a large list of mocktails. I had the Vimto Mojito and my wife had the margarita. Both creative and flavorful. Lastly I tried the "Ashta" for dessert. It's an Aleppo signature per the menu and is a pudding like dessert of clotted cream, pistachio, strawberries, and honey. It's simple yet satisfying. Took me a few bites to acquire the flavor but I loved it more with each bite. My wife didn't care for it. They moved by Angel Stadium from their Brookhurst spot. Great place except the parking. Reservations are odd too. $25 penalty PER PERSON if you miss your reservation. It was definitely motivation to find parking.

TLDR: nice guy, nicely cooked but zero flavor and takes much too long…read more Was really craving Mediterranean so I came here after seeing some strong reviews. I ordered the Kufta Plate with Hummus, to go. It took a really long time even though I was the only person there. When the food came out, I asked for some Sumac. The older gentleman who brought my order out, told me that it's already incorporated and the food is seasoned to perfection so I don't need it. Great! I like the confidence! Feeling reassured and excited, I brought my Kufta Plate back to the office to eat. I dig into the food and immediately notice a complete lack of flavor or seasoning. It was so bland that I was momentarily afraid that I might have contracted Covid. I reached for the pickled turnips and peppers, I could taste those perfectly fine. They were intense, so I knew it wasn't Covid. My co-worker tried a bite and he immediately spat it out. I feel bad leaving a bad review because the guy seemed nice, but this was by far, the single worst Mediterranean food I have ever had. It's one of the worst meals I've had in general.
