Shawerma Beef and Chicken
Michael T.

First time here and the food is amazing. The bread is fresh and the beef is tender and tasty. We also had the rice pudding and it was fresh and delicious. Staff is friendly. Plenty of parking outside. The seating is a little small but I would come again.

Chicken Doner Pide
Shirley W.

Stopped by here for lunch, honestly the setup lowkey reminds me of Subway lol. Seats available for eating in since it wasn't too busy, or it's also one of those places you just wanna grab and go. I got the Chicken Doner Pide and my bf got the Mixed Doner Wrap. It didn't take too long for assembly and preparing, service is quick! First look, the portion is quite huge. I was only able to eat half my sandwich lol. So I got to save the other half for another lunch! The flavors were pretty good! The peppers were pretty strong in spice, which was a pleasant surprise as well. The pide is essentially a sandwich, so the bread was also perfectly toasted. Overall, very solid spot! I never had something like this before, so it was a nice place to try.

I took a friend here that lives in HB. We were going to go to Ocean 48 in Fashion island. I suggested we go here and save $500.

Another night of take out and decided to get some Turkish food! The parking is always challenging but somehow we always find a spot. The restaurant itself is clean. The staff very friendly. We love their breads even when we don't get a meal but we were set for a meal this round. I ordered the beef doner plate with the sauce on the side. The meat was freshly trimmed and the plates are always overflowing. They don't skimp on portions at all. As always the flavor is just what I was looking for. Delicious!

Ikram Grill is a Fountain Valley staple for Turkish food. I stopped by on MLK Day for lunch and there were a lot of people coming and going, most of them taking it to go. I know they're famous for their shawarma so I opted for the beef doner pide which comes with an insane amount of meat all packed between flatbread that's put in a panini press after you decide which toppings you want. I got everything except pickles and the sandwich was near exploding. However, the meat was a lot tougher than I thought it'd be, considering it looked so juicy. I also got the mixed doner plate for my brother which is why I know the chicken is better than the beef. It was surprisingly more tender and flavorful. I chose a dessert based on the worker's recommendation and she said her favorite was the triangle baklava, I think. It wasn't the most popular one but since it was filled with cream it added an extra depth to the crispy phyllo dough. It was pretty empty inside since the workers efficiently got everyone's orders out quickly.

Great food and super friendly. Used to come a lot during HS but it's been a while. Got the mixed plate although I think I like the chicken better here. Added oil and vinegar to salad which I recommend. Extra onions. Their desserts look good too so gotta come back to try

After a long day of softball we tried Ikram Grill and it did not disappoint. Food was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. Restaurant was nice and clean. Employees were very helpful. We ordered the 3-Chicken Doner Wrap, 7-Chicken Doner Pide, 10-Beef Doner Plate, and the 17-Beef Ikram Special. Everything was solid. The meat was cooked just right, seasoned well, and portions were really good. The #10 beef doner plate was probably my favorite simple but really tasty. The Beef Ikram Special with fries definitely hits if you're hungry. Overall, really good spot. I'll definitely be back

Pistachio Baklava
Liz N.

The chicken wrap today really hit the spot today and it was huge! The sauces were amazing and the pickled onions/fresh veggies balance the tender chicken really well. I went before lunch so service was fast and easy. Casual place for workers on their lunch breaks to grab a hearty meal. Great food and very reasonable prices.

#5 with everything

True hidden gem! This place is amazing. One of the best Turkish restaurants I've been to. I'm a big fan of their number 6 Beef Donet Pide. A pide is a round flat bread. For the sandwich, they slice it in 2/2, and then fill it with all of the meat in my case beef or you can do beef and chicken or just chicken. Ask for a sample to try and see which one you like. They also do a falafel, however, I found it to be a little bit on the dry side but flavorful. They also do a wrap or simply a plate. They also have some specials where they put the meats and sauces over french fries. That seems to be very popular. It's actually kind of like a Chipotle in the way that you order at the counter and pick which ingredients you want. If you like sweets, they have homemade delicious rice pudding among other Turkish treats. Some of these items sell out early so show up right before lunch to have the best selection. This is a go-to place for me at least every two or three weeks and never disappoints! They are extremely consistent and they have great service with friendly staff.

Their sandwich is delicious! I got the chicken and beef combination sandwich. I'm not a big fan of having a lot of veggies in my sandwich, but this place has the freshest and best quality ingredients! Their meat is seasoned very well and quite tender.

Lyndsay J.

Amazing hospitality and food! It's so hard to find proper Turkish food in Orange County because everyone uses doner/shawarma interchangeably even when it's not actually Turkish. Anyway, my boyfriend and I both ordered pide sandwiches, one mixed and one beef, and they were DELICIOUS. Massive portions too, the pictures I added don't do the size justice. Meat was well seasoned with the proper spices for Turkish flavor profile. Bonus points for having fresh bread as an option for our sandwiches, and being able to customize toppings. The veggies were fresh and they have so many delicious sauces, including hummus- to dress your sandwich. We were so stuffed halfway through our sandwich & my leftovers were enough for a large snack later on in the day. Aside from plates, wraps, and sandwiches, they also offer Sutlac, various phyllo and katayifi pastries, lentil soup, etc. Ikram Grill lives up to the hype, and even commuting all the way from Buena Park, we thought it was 100% worth it and would absolutely come again.

Combo wrap in foreground and combo pide in background, Carrot Slice Baklava and Pistachio Kadayif in the middle
Dan C.

A small, quick doner stop with a straightforward menu. Choose a protein (beef *loaded* with lamb fat, chicken, or falafel), a vehicle of delivery (wrap, pide bread, or French fries), and inhale. Counter service is fast and succinct, just tell them what number on the menu you want and what toppings to not put on, and let them work their magic. It's a small and narrow eatery without any frills, but it really doesn't need any. We wanted to try both meats so we got a combo wrap and a combo pide. Everything was delicious but when we come back I'm definitely getting a beef pide, it's super fatty and juicy and flavorful and much more filling than the wrap. Veggies and sauces were tasty and gave the right amount of lube; I'm not big on onions but their pickled onions were sweet and not too powerful. The baklava were delicious, the kadayif was crispy and sweet without hurting your mouth, and the carrot slice baklava was almost oppressively sweet but hit the spot. It's overall an unassuming spot good for a quick informal meal. 1000% worth checking out, we'll be back regularly. I'm curious about the sodas and yogurt drinks in their cooler I've never seen before.

Beef doner
Keesha F.

Beef doner on the special bread was amazing! I let them choose the sauces and I got it dressed with everything! Service was friendly, I only wish they had a spot closer to me.

Is the meat zabiha halal by Hand or Machine?

Yes, its halal by machine.

Do they have tables for eating inside?

Yes, there are some tables inside, but on busy days it can get a bit difficult to find seating for more than 1 or 2 people.

What are your Vegetarian options? Do you have any gluten-free options ? It all looks wonderful!

They have falafel, I think that's vegetarian

Do you accept cash?

Yes, we do

Is both the beef and chicken hand slaughtered hallal?

No, it is made with a lot of butter

Is the meat halal-certified?

Yes. Verified as an approved establishment of serving only halal meat. Also bearing the seal upon entry.

Hi Do you make buffet?

No, they don't have a buffet. Establishment next door (Blue Moon) offers Armenian lunch buffet.

We were headed toward REI to grab some outdoor chairs and decided to stop at GHOST Sando Shop in Huntington Beach. I've driven past this place plenty of times and never really knew what it was. It also happened to be one of the only places open in the shopping center that early, so we figured, why not? Man, we had no idea what we were missing. We ordered the Melrose for ourselves and a Club for our daughter. Marco took our order and was also the one making the sandwiches. A few minutes after we sat down, he actually walked over and asked me, "Are you sure you want the pepperoncini and tomato on the Club?" My first thought was basically, uhhh... yeah, of course I do! Then it clicked. The Club was for our daughter. Marco had remembered that from our conversation when we ordered and knew that a lot of kids probably aren't exactly excited about pepperoncini and tomatoes. Meanwhile, Dad over here completely forgot to ask for them off. That might seem like such a small thing, but THAT is customer service. Marco wasn't just taking an order, collecting payment, and moving on to the next customer. He was actually paying attention. He remembered who the sandwich was for and took the extra few seconds to come over and double check before making it. Good looking out, Marco. Seriously. And that wasn't the only interaction we had with him. Marco was incredibly friendly from the moment we walked in. He talked with us, answered questions, and even gave us suggestions on other sandwiches we should try the next time we come back. Nothing felt forced or scripted. It was just genuine conversation from someone who seemed to actually care whether we enjoyed our experience. There were only two guys working while we were there, yet everything was running smoothly. The restaurant was clean, the atmosphere was relaxed, the bright green interior gives the place its own personality, and there's plenty of seating inside along with a really nice outdoor patio area. And most importantly, the sandwiches were GOOD. The Melrose was a great first choice, and Melody enjoyed her Club, thankfully without Dad accidentally loading it up with pepperoncini. We also grabbed some Calypso lemonades, which went perfectly with everything. We originally stopped here simply because it was open and convenient. Now it's somewhere we'll intentionally come back to. There are thousands of places where you can buy a sandwich. What makes you remember a restaurant is usually the people behind the counter. Marco made us remember GHOST. Excellent food, clean restaurant, great atmosphere, and genuinely outstanding customer service. We'll definitely be back, and next time, Marco, we're taking you up on those recommendations.

I would return. Clean interior with lots of seating, neat bathroom, lots of parking Knocking off a star because they play AI YouTube videos

I know Cheez Whiz is not for everyone, since it has a very unique flavor and texture compared with something like American or provolone. Thankfully, Philly's Best provides that option when you want a Philly cheesesteak, and you can even mix and match multiple cheeses. One thing I like to do is mix provolone with Cheez Whiz for a unique, more Philly-style taste. Otherwise, I think the cheesesteak is fine in terms of the meat, bread, and cheese combination, but I do not think it tastes as good or as fresh as Jersey Mike's or several other local places that offer hot Philly cheesesteak sandwiches. That said, I like going to Philly's Best when I am specifically looking for that Cheez Whiz taste, and that is honestly the main reason I would recommend going here.

There's an outdoor seating area and a good size restaurant inside. We were greeted as we walked in. Btw, the HUGE glass door entrance, I love. There Were a few open tables and we were welcome to sit where we wanted to. Two classes of water were brought to the table and a waiter came with the menu. My mom is vegetarian and I am not. I asked the waiter for his vegetarian dishes and he provided me a pasta dish. That was exactly what my Mom was wanting. Linguine with a light pink sauce with mushrooms and you can add zucchini, bell pepper and broccoli. I ordered a sangria. That was just amazing itself. And a linguine dish with shrimp. Warm, sliced French bread and a small dish of butter was brought out first that was so good. Usually the bread and butter that is brought at small restaurants like these could be just mediocre or not good at all. This was warm and just tasty. We also ordered a Caprese. The plate came out with big chunks of mozzarella tomatoes, and both were sitting on a marinated pesto covered set of basil leaves. That was so good. The combination of the vinaigrette, mozzarella basil tomato pesto was exactly what we were looking for so refreshing. Our entrées were huge for $20 a plate. We had to take 3/4 of it home. That was so not expected. Pasta and the pasta sauce were amazing. Very freshly made. Dishes were made to order only and not sitting around. I asked if they were doing something special for birthdays and I pointed to my mom next to you know, the waiter came out with fresh homemade Tim. They also sing to my mom wish she was so sweet.

It's a casual, family-friendly spot with a fun seafood-themed atmosphere, and the service was friendly and welcoming. We tried the Cali Truffle Roll, Lobster Grilled Cheese, Lobster Bisque, Clam Chowder, fries, tots, mac and cheese, and the strawberry lemonade. The amount of lobster in everything really impressed us. They definitely don't skimp, and every lobster dish felt generous and satisfying. The Cali Truffle Roll was probably the freshest bite of the meal. I loved that the lobster was served chilled with avocado, cucumber, carrots, red onion, celery and greens. It was cold, crisp and refreshing while still feeling indulgent from the truffle oil and herb mayo. The Lobster Grilled Cheese was another favorite, especially dipped into the soups. We ended up dipping absolutely everything into both the lobster bisque and clam chowder, including the fries and tots. Everything paired so well together that it became part of the experience. There's a good variety on the menu for the whole family, along with deals and specials that make it an easy casual lunch or dinner option.

To start I didn't have many expectations, as most lobster or crab rolls don't give you a lot of meat inside. So I thought I would go with added flavors and picked the Connecticut Style Lobster Roll. I enjoyed the green onions and mayo over an overly buttery-styled roll. The bread was nice and fluffy with good flavor. The lobster had a nice sweet and rich flavor. So overall I enjoyed it. We also chose some calamari fries, Mac and cheese and a lobster quesadilla. The quesadilla was good and had a good amount of lobster as well. I may get that the next time. The calamari fries were like getting mozzarella sticks but with calamari inside. You don't get a basket full, but they were tasty. Overall everything was pretty good and I would say the staff was great. Very helpful and polite. Although we didn't eat our order there, it was quiet inside and had pretty neat decor. I liked the 90's music poster vibe, with the ocean theme. Overall, I would go back, but please keep in mind, this isn't like a fast food place and the ingredients are going to be more expensive, for the amount you get. So if you're hungry, order some sides. I'll be back to try some of their lobster bisque next.
