Sunday lunch with friends. This place was REALLY good! Since we were a party of 5, the server suggested family style. We ordered 3 entrees which with family style, the salad, chopped cuc tomato & tzatziki ) offered gratis. Pita with butter is offered table side with refills. We shared: 1) boneless chicken 2) Egypt kabob (seasoned gr beef) 3) kabob torsh (gr lamb marinated with pomegranate) The platter came out & looked amazing! We added polo lati (sumac, butter & tomato rice). Besides the meats and regular basmati rice, they had house-made pickles(dill), red onion slices, charred tomatoes, jalapeños, & lemon wedges. The meats were grilled beautifully, lamb wasn't "gamey", tender chicken breast nicely marinated in maybe a yoghurt base, pickles, lemon, jalapeños were a nice tart contrast. Almost forgot about the sumac on the side. I really enjoy sumac & the tartness it adds. Kind of reminds me of Japanese shiso. The salad with crisp iceberg lettuce, red cabbage & a pink dressing (tasted similar to 1,000 isle dsg). Pink from pomegranate(?) sumac(?). Anyway the salad was simple but nice. Tzatziki was creamy & tart. The cucumber tomato relish was HAND CUT! Not food processed. Perfectly nice square cuts. Fresh, simple & refreshing. Will return when in the area. This spot is centrally located for our friend group. Ample parking. Staff helpful with ordering for the newbies. While we've all had Mediterranean meals prior, all restaurants vary a bit. The guy was super patient & informative.

We were visiting from San Jose and found Koobikland. The presentation of the plates were so pretty. The grilled chicken was so so tender. The beef koobidah was also delicious. I also enjoyed the eggplant and bread. Service was very good. Very nice ambiance.

Amazing local spot if you're in Orange, CA! Our first time here and we ordered the Kashkhe o' bademjan, eggplant borani, beef koobideh, & chicken koobideh. Everything was delicious! Meats were flavorful and tender. Chef/owner was very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be coming back soon!

If you're even thinking about going to Koobikland, just go. Seriously. This place is an absolute gem in Orange. From the moment you walk in, you can tell it's not your average spot. The vibe is super welcoming, creative, and just straight-up fun. Everything feels thoughtfully put together, from the layout to the little details that make the whole experience feel unique. And the food? Absolutely delicious. Every bite tasted fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can tell they're not cutting corners, everything feels intentional and high quality. It's the kind of food you keep thinking about after you leave and can't wait to come back for. What really stood out to me was how much care and passion goes into what they do. You don't get that cookie-cutter, rushed feeling here, it's the opposite. The staff is friendly, helpful, and genuinely seems like they want you to have a great time, which makes a huge difference. Whether you're going with friends, family, or even just checking it out solo, it's one of those places that leaves you in a better mood than when you walked in. It's memorable, it's different, and honestly, Orange is lucky to have it. 10/10, already planning my next visit!

Beef Koobideh with Saffron rice and grilled tomato and pepper.
Keith H.

Excellent place for Persian cuisine. This was my first time coming here so of course I had to try the Koobideh. Much like judging an Italian place by their pizza or lasagna or a Mexican place by their Tacos and rice, so do I judge a Persian place by its Koobideh and Saffron rice. Both were very excellent. The beef Koobideh was juicy and flavorful. Some of the best I ever had. The saffron rice was done very well. Rice should be easy but unfortunately not everyone gets rice done right. No worries here as the rice was perfect and tasty. Not only is this a good time to support your local Persian businesses but it is always a good time to support this excellent restaurant. If you never had Persian food, or if you have and are looking for a great place, look no further. Koobikland is the way to go. Good food. Good people. Enjoy.

Koobideh
Generous Y.

Honestly might have been my first time trying Persian food and I've definitely added it to my favorites. Definitely some similarities to Greek food and overall very healthy and filling. Friendly service, they were super welcoming and happily helped with recommendations. We all got an order of the Koobideh and some chicken on the side. I'd say I can put away food pretty well and this had me pushing a bit with lots of flavorful, filling protein. Meat was seasoned well, tender, juicy, and balanced out with the rice and vegetables. I don't care much for sauces and was pleased that the yogurt sauce was not necessary because nothing was dry.

Quiet, piano guitar or mandolin music, real tablecloths for real people, no snooty a- holes screaming into their phones. You'll will take home extras of their filet mignon meat skewers because u eat the entree. ALL of it. Plus saffron rice and elegant service. Heaven on earth. I saw old farts from old orange like me, old and young middle eastern people, and a bunch of white/asians hoping for a brain break. No one spoke above a whisper because they didn't have to. Best food since Colleary's bistro, really. Too much booze for me at the Tartan room. This place only serves beer, wine and real Arabic coffee in tiny cups. You will be asleep or awakes for days, guaranteed. Food made by the owners. Confused young waiters who love cash tips. I am two-timing Rosine's. It's that GOOD.

The yummiest Zafron butter I've ever had with bread.

Thank You TikTok for recommending this hidden gem, since Koobikland has become my absolute favorite Persian Restaurant in SoCal (coming from a Persian Gal)... My friend and I checked this place out for lunch today, and can't wait to return and try different items off of their menu... Food = 5/5 Presentation = 5/5 Customer Service = 5/5 Value= 5/5 Ambiance = 5/5 There is plenty of free parking in the shopping center..

Eggplant Borani
Shandi C.

Got the eggplant Borani as an appetizer. It was really good, it also had like a Smokey taste to it. I'm not sure what caused it but it was really good with out food. Me and my friend got the combo platter with beef and chicken. Beef was very juicy and well made. Chicken was flavorful but the beef was our favorite. Definitely a must try. Inside was very nice and they sometimes have a person playing the piano so this would be a great spot for a Date. Service was so kind. We will be back!

Kaseh Kabob and Polo Lati
Amir A.

Outstanding Persian Cuisine with a Modern Touch! I stopped by Koobikland Restaurant in Orange, CA during my trip from Northern California, and it was one of the best Persian cuisines I've ever had! The drinks and juices were incredibly fresh and refreshing. We ordered Kase Kabab with Polo Lati and the Reza Loghmeh (had to try it since my name is Reza ) - everything was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and beautifully served. If you're looking for authentic Persian food with a modern touch, this is the place! I just wish they'd open a branch in NorCal!

Baghlava sweet
Mehrnoosh S.

Yummy kabob and nice combination of flavors with white rice and saffron rice on top of that tray and salad and mixed yogurt and cucumbers with mint , fresh bread with butter and delicious food all in one order in friendly area and ambience with friendly staff. We had a best experience as always here. I recommend this place to everyone who wants to try good food with best price. I love the ambiance of this restaurant with Persian decoration and some vintage stuff from iran . Enjoy with your friends over there, don't go alone !

We love the food here and the service. It's our second time and we highly recommend if you love Mediterranean food.

It could have been an extra plate, a free app to make up for the state of the restaurant or genuine hospitality. Regardless of what it was, we appreciated the gesture. I ordered the lamb skewer lunch special with salad instead of rice. My wife went with the chicken skewer. She said the rice portion was too large. The food was delicious. The prices were reasonable. The service was good.

Shawarma Loaded Fries -- 2/5 I probably should have skipped these and just gotten another plate. It was kind of a sticky mess and the combo just didn't really work. You get a great portion of beef shawarma, but the raw onion, shredded cheese, and pickle slices felt like a really unusual combination. I usually love pickles in my Mediterranean food, but this just wasn't it for me.

Mediterranean Guys is located at the Center Plaza in Santa Ana (borderline Tustin). Although, there's plenty of parking. The area near Mediterranean Guys is pretty tight, and being so close to the exit toward Tustin/17th Street often causes traffic jams. Now once stepping inside, you're quickly greeted by a nice service staff and seems like the place is ran by one employee! She's certainly perky and helpful so kudos to her for holding up the fort for the venue. It's a build your bowl concept -- Your Way, Every Time :). You pick - bowl or place and depending on size you will get the option of one or two proteins, a couple sides and all toppings. The mini bowls starts at $14 and it's goes up from there. She ask you to start strong with the foundation of your bowl -- I recommend skip the greens but hey that's me. I tend to go half White Rice and Brown Rice. We ordered a mini bowl and a full plate, which let us try four different proteins between us: beef skewers, chicken skewers, lamb gyro, and spicy shredded chicken. We also shared the baklava for dessert. The fresh pita bread and spicy hummus was a nice touch, and the portion sizes were just right....I will definitely come back for more!! TIP: If you're planning to return for multiple visits...download the app beforehand so score a free drink with purchase.
