Lunch !
Tony J.

This really hit the spot! Everything was delicious from the rice to the salad, chicken was tender, deliciously seasoned, etc. Additionally, Service was above par. There was a positive ambience, environment in the restaurant.

Veggie Kabob
Lydia V.

Delicious! Popped in while in Mission Viejo area. Restaurant is small and has seating inside and out. Menu is small which is probably why their food is great. The staff is friendly and helpful. There are bathrooms and they are clean. I ordered the veggie kabob plate with grilled tomatoes. The plate came with basmati rice and half of a pita. I ordered a side of the tzatziki and it came with the other half of my pita. ;-) Definitely recommend this place if you're around and looking for fresh food fast! They have an open kitchen so you can hear and see the staff working. You can also hear the veggies roasting on the grill! They use mesquite wood for grilling so the food is flavorful. I asked for butter for my rice and a packet of sumac. Enjoy!

Juicy chicken and their spice is amazing. Very good will go back. Fresh food great environment.

Lunch special
Mike N.

Mission Viejo, Ca. Stopped in for lunch, and they had a lunch special that made my selection easy. The first thing I noticed was the unique taste of the chicken, it has a great flavor from the wood they cook it on. It is also very moist and cooked in a way that is not grilled, yet thoroughly cooked. Lots of rice provided as a filler. This is needed because there simply is not nearly enough chicken to satiate. I might come back because of how good the chicken is. I might try another meat. It might be awhile though.

The LUNCH SPECIAL... $9.99 Monday thru Friday  Until 3pm.

Skip the burger in fries and try this lunch special. Absolutely outstanding. CHICKEN RICE AND SALAD. Monday thru Friday Till 3pm.

For about $20 I would expect much more food. Very small portions.

Food is good, service was okay, speed was disappointingly slow…read more I get that these places make their food to order so I expected a wait, but they have the word "express" in their business name so I had a false expectation. Needless to say I sat there waiting for my two to-go orders for what felt like an eternity. A lot of people flowed in after me and they were all just waiting, it was weird since it was empty when I walked in and then seeing 6 tables of people with no food. I thought I ordered the cheaper lunch special of chicken koobideh and beef koobideh, but he punched in the full portion instead. I didn't really mind as it just became extra food for dinner. But I feel like if someone is going in at the beginning of lunch time, they would be looking to order lunch menu stuff? I guess I can't expect people to do what I my logic would do. The two koobidehs is pretty much the same thing I order at any of these places because I prefer ground meat that's tender and juicy and this place did not disappoint. They were cooked to perfections with just a little crisp on the meats. Not much else to say since I only had a basic meal....meals

We had it to go, so I can't speak much about the dine-in experience, but I will say the service…read morewasn't the friendliest. We ordered the combo beef and chicken plate, the beef gyro plate, and two falafel on the side. The falafel didn't look impressive, but they were surprisingly excellent--moist, flavorful, and honestly better than Sababa's. I'll definitely order six next time. The gyro plate was solid, not overly greasy or heavy, and the seasoning was just right. I wasn't a fan of the hummus, which had a bitter aftertaste, but my partner liked the tanginess, so that may come down to personal preference. On the combo plate, the chicken stood out: juicy and tender. The beef seemed to be a leaner cut and was a bit dry. I'd probably skip this particular beef kebab next time and try a different one. The saffron rice and grilled tomato were a nice complement. The plate also came with jumbo naan, served warm and smelling amazing, definitely a highlight.

The iced tea was refreshing. I had finished up a 3 hour research trip walking around Mission SJC, so refreshing is an understatement. To start off, we had spinach fatayer, grape leaves, fried eggplant, and cheese fatayer. I loved the cheese fatayer! It was crispy and the cheese inside was delicious. I also added on a soup to my filet mignon shish kabob entree. I asked the waiter if the kitchen could cut my kabob into small pieces because my wrist is broken and I am unable to use a knife. He was understanding and the meat arrived in perfect bite sized pieces. The meat was so tender and seasoned appropriately. The pita and hummus were great too. My mom had the salmon, which she enjoyed. The waiter gave us personal service that triumphs over impersonal interactions at other restaurants. For dessert, my mom and I both ordered the chocolate pistachio fudge cake with a side of ice cream. Oh my! It was DELICIOUS! I remember telling my mom "thank god I was just at a church because forgive me father for I have sinned". It was decadent and rich. I even took some home and it held up well the next day. Additionally, the whole ambiance was very welcoming and chic. I really liked the light fixtures and the bathroom was very clean and elegant. Overall, my mom and I had an amazing lunch! Anytime we're back in SJC, we will be returning.

It was our first time in the area, and as a fan of Mediterranean food, I found this place on Yelp…read moreand decided to give it a try. I'm really glad we did. The portions were large, and the atmosphere was very relaxing during our visit. The server Habibi!!! was friendly and attentive. I'm usually very particular about food, but this place did not disappoint. We ordered the mixed platter for two, and it was excellent. I'm a big eater, but my wife and I still couldn't finish everything. It was so good that we packed the rest to go. Out of all the places I've tried, this one really stands out for both taste and quality. If I'm in the area again, I will definitely come back.

I really wanted to like this place, but the experience was honestly disappointing from the moment…read morewe arrived. We showed up around 1 PM, which should be prime lunch time, and the place was completely empty. Not just quiet, I mean literally no one there, which immediately felt off. Even finding the entrance was confusing, especially if it's your first time. The exterior didn't help either. It looked sun-damaged and like it hadn't been maintained in a while, which set the tone before we even walked in. Once inside, things didn't improve. A guy greeted us briefly and ran to the back, and then another staff member asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside. The first thing we noticed was how stuffy it felt. No airflow, no ventilation, and when I asked if the AC was on, he said no. At that point, it just didn't feel comfortable staying. My friend and I looked at each other like, are we really about to eat here? That feeling alone says a lot. They do have an outdoor seating setup with what looks like Persian-style lounge seating, which could actually be really nice, but even that area didn't look clean or maintained. It had potential, but it just didn't feel inviting. We ended up leaving, and shortly after, another couple walked in and chose to sit outside, probably for the same reason we didn't want to stay inside. Honestly, this place feels like it could have a good vibe if it were busy and properly maintained, but right now it just feels neglected. Between the confusing entrance, lack of upkeep, and uncomfortable indoor environment, it was an easy decision to walk out.

Admittedly, I tried Pasta Viva first and it was a little hard not to compare the two. This location also had the same ordering system. You order on an iPad and then the server brings you the food. I think a better system would be QR codes with the option to order on your phone. The iPads can make the experience really slow when it's busy, especially because there are only 2 kiosks total. The food was good, but for some reason the Irvine location tasted much creamier. Plus, I think Irvine seems to be having fun. This time it seemed that there were only two people working, the cook and then the food runner. It just didn't seem like things were flowing as well as they could have. I did really enjoy all the great photo ops and they also have a bigger dessert menu. Overall it was great, but for whatever reason, it seemed like the Irvine location is running slightly better (or at least on the night I visited).
