    Patio

    Curious and friendly staff treating you to hospitality welcoming you in for the flavors of the Mediterranean.

    Plenty of open air seating and dog friendly! Service was fast and staff were friendly and accommodating. The serving sizes are pretty big and were prepared very well. The lobster ravioli was probably my favorite bite. The location is right off the main walking areas, so it was a convenient stop to get some lunch.

    it's been awhile since we've had a chance to visit but the charm of GG's patio is just as we remember. We had the GG's Avocado Crevette and Steak Salad (ask for chopped!). Wonderful way to spend a lazy afternoon weekend in Laguna, and they always treat you like family.

    I like this place, it's my third time, and they do amazing Middle Eastern/Turkish food. This time you were there for breakfast, and we tried traditional Turkish sausage with eggs, and it was delicious, they also provided jam/butter. Turkish Tea was good. Bread was good. Outdoor seating is very nice. There is meter parking in front of the restaurant, or there is a big parking lot on the street right behind the restaurant.

    The best spot for a smart casual meal. Numerous gluten free and celiac friendly options. Kindness of service staff is second to none. Simply delicious. Be sure to try the GF Gyro Plate. Hummus trio also a home run. I could not have picked a better spot after a long day of travel. Perfect for a very hungry person with celiac disease. Lovely patio with lots of shade and nice breeze.

    The Sultans Kebab and Meze Platter were both great tastes. Thanks to the owner couple, Francesca & Ragip for their great hospitality shown during our delicious dinner experience in Laguna Beach.

    We came here because my friend is a regular. The food was good and the service was friendly. The ambiance is nice and you can sit on the outdoor patio if you wish, for some good people watching. There are also some nice museums in the area, so it's a great place to stop by for a bite after sightseeing in Laguna.

    Sultan Tray & Menemen

    I've been there multiple times and every time same great service and great food! I definitely recommend this place!

    Where is the best place to park if we are planning on going to the sawdust festival after we have our meal?

    We parked at the meter at public parking a couple of blocks away at 303 Legion street, Laguna beach, CA, 92651. The meters have limited hours, we downloaded an app to put more money in if needed.

    Surfin' Souvlaki - Gyro Wrap Plate. The lamb beef shavings were juicy & flavorful; wrapped in a soft pita. Hummus was nutty, tangy, and garlicky.

    On a Sunday afternoon, it's not a busy spot. We typically know what we want at this spot because 1)…read morelemon potatoes and 2) they have gyro. Between this spot and another Greek spot, the other doesnt have either of these! I always go for the falafel plate (the falafel are actually green inside, which is a good sign of goodness!) and this time I chose lemon potatoes and Greek bean stew, which is another favorite. The potatoes are boiled perfectly and the bean stew is made with tomatoes. The pita bread was nicely seasoned too! It's a delicious meal, even after not visiting this spot for a couple of years. The losses during this experience was a smoker sitting right behind their restaurant which was not pleasant while we were sitting outside. The other is the employee working there. There was no greeting because he was on his phone when we walked in, and no other pleasantries while we placed our order. Everyone else on Yelp agrees that he's got these "why I gotta be here?" Vibes. The food saves this place.

    I love Mediterranean food and it's been a while since I've been here so I was excited to return. I…read moreordered the gyro platter with the rice pilaf and greek salad. The gyro meat was a bit dry today and maybe because of the time we came in, around 2:00 pm a Sunday afternoon, since it was not busy the meat may have been sitting around for a while. The tzatziki sauce definitely saved it. The seasoned pita was yummy too ! The service however isn't the friendliest here, almost like he doesn't want to be there. There is no hello or welcome in when we enter the restaurant. With this said, I still enjoy the food here.
