The grilling was done skillfully, but I must say that due to the size of the actual meat chunks, my skewers were rare, not med rare. But, delicious and savory nonetheless. The salad was crispy with red onions, tomato wedges, cucumbers. It was under dressed but still very tasty. Also had the humus which was good, a bit more oil would be nice. My daughter had the Spanikopita appetizer which looked really good with a lot of filling. My wife had the soup that was very tasty, with dill sprinkled on top, cannot remember the name. The soup was steaming hot, which is how I like any soup to be served. For dessert we had a Baklava that was sweet, but so crispy it was a bit hard to eat, almost too dense and crispy-dry. Definitely worthy of a 5 star rating. Someone who is serious about quality ingredients designed this menu. I would enjoy eating here again.

We have a party in a view weeks with 20 people and I think I already know I will be catering from here. ... Also very large portions.

I was greeted with a smile by the gentleman cooking behind the counter and I was able to self seat at the table of my choosing. The person that took my order was very kind and instructed me to grab a beverage from the fridge if I'd like. I ordered a simply chicken and rice plate with a side of their salad. I can't recall the name but it was very tasty, fresh, and delicious. The food came out quickly and tasted amazing, the chicken was cooked to perfection and the rice was flavorful. I enjoy the roasted tomatoes as well as the jalapeno on the side. It brought even more flavor and texture to the meal. Soltani is worth checking out if you are looking for a Mediterranean spot in Santa Ana

My first time at this location and it will quite interesting. The restaurant said they open at 11…read moreand when we got there it was closed. Waited 10 minutes and the cook came out and said the owners Muhammad isn't here so only to go orders. I was stumped as there were no signed that said only to go orders here. Unfortunately I had brought my friends with me and we wanted to sit down and enjoy our meal. So finally the cook said yes. I realize what the issue was. He was the only one here and cannot service and cook at the same time. So I helped set up our table and went ahead and grabbed our own drinks and proceeded to order. I had forgotten that at these places they don't give water for free so we had to buy it for $1.49 and juices were higher. We ordered the mini chicken kabob $11.99 which was super delicious. The rice and kabob were cooked to perfection. I also ordered their boiled chicken with cranberry rice $14.99. The cook asked me several times if I truly wanted it and I said sure. Now I know why he asked me several times. It literally was boiled chicken in heavy grease and very salty. Definitely would not get this again. The cranberry rice I'd say was good. Next time if I ever do come I'd get the chicken kabob over the cranberry rice. After an hour the owner Muhammad came and asked if we needed anything. He's a very nice guy and moves slow and you can tell he doesn't want to hire additional workers. Just only the cook. Oh well. Another friend of mine came late and she also ordered the chicken kabob but full portion. The hummus that was ordered wasn't good. There wasn't any tahini sauce at all. It was just mashed up garbanzo beans but at least it tasted fresh. Let's just say overall interesting experience. Would probably only come back if I really craved the cranberry rice. I felt bad for the cook as he was handling all to go orders, and taking calls, and servicing us and cleaning up so that I gave him a tip. Hopefully my next experience at this place will be better.

It was…read moreour first visit, and I'll admit I judged a book by its cover because I assumed it was a counter-service spot where just order at the register and they call your number but that was not the case, we were pleasantly surprised by table service. The man from the video, who I believe is the owner, served us and was very kind and attentive. Since this is a family owned restaurant I can tell they have some sort of system when it comes to table service that works for them. Now, the most important part: the FOOD. Wow, everything was so good! I believe we ordered the feast tray, along with salad, bread, and dips (not everything is pictured) It was plenty for three people, and we all left full and satisfied. For the amount of food you're getting, I'd say this is a great deal and the flavors on the protein is just absolutely amazing. I live right next to a pretty good kebab-shop and I have to say that this will now be my go to spot from now on

The meat from the Istanbul kebab was very tender and juicy, especially the chicken and ribeye steak kebabs. The pickles were not too sharp and the salad was nice too. I wish I took pictures of our food but we went to town on it. We had quite a bit to pack to go too, so I think the price was relatively fair for the amount we ate.
