If you're craving something filling, fresh, and packed with flavor, DonerG is the move. Definitely coming back.

Lebanese style falafels are the best and this place nails it. I commented to my wife how beautiful the chicken had come out, the colors, little black charred corners and edges from the fire, golden reflection on the glaze. It is not cheap but worth every penny. Our server was great and we can't wait to go back. The place is so unassuming from the outside and beautiful on the inside.

We had reservations and our tables were ready early before our time so we were able to sit there and wait for the rest of the party. The menu is pretty extensive with a good variety of cold and hot appetizers and meats. The prices were also reasonable. We opted for the dinner package, which came with choices of 3 cold appetizers, 3 hot appetizers, salad, 3 choices of meat, and rice for $55 per person plus tax and gratuity. The belly dancing show started at 8:30pm and was entertaining. The dancer really engaged with the audience. I was sitting in a far corner and thought I was hidden from her view, but she came over, started dancing next to me, and got me to do a slight shimmy along with her. It was fun. My only complaint is the waitress was a bit much. We already ordered a lot of food, mind you, but every opportunity she had, she kept pushing to order more and then mentioned there would be an extra charge. She also wanted to charge us for 8 people even though we had 7 people at the table.

Everything was incredibly flavorful, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. The chicken, beef, rice, and sides were all delicious--honestly, not a single dish was left behind! It quickly became everyone's favorite, and people are still talking about it. You know it's good when coworkers are going back for seconds (and thirds) If you're looking for catering that will impress a crowd, this is it. Highly recommend!

Well, I think I have a new favorite Persian kabob restaurant! It's pretty far from home, but I…read morecould easily work it into the flight path so to speak, between the Tustin REI and 17th Street in Costa Mesa. Located in a small but busy plaza, HOK is a small, potentially packed restaurant with a few tables outside. About half full mid afternoon on a Saturday, i got a table and quickly made a decision to try the combination plate with a chicken and kubideh kabob, with rice. Next time I'll branch out, but this first sample provided much pleasure and evidence that they can't do anything wrong (except be closed when I'm craving more ;) A few minutes after placing my order the warm flatbread came out with butter. Comparatively, many other Persian restaurants use Lavash sections, so I enjoyed the contrast. The neighboring table of four received their plates one at a time, so I figured the kitchen and grill were probably also fairly constricted like the lobby. Nonetheless, it didn't take long and the generous, colorful portions were a sight to behold! The first thing I noticed was how moist and tender both kabobs were. Not burnt or dry anywhere on either type. That's attributable to the elevated method of grilling, but here the chef has it down to a science. The second observation came later when I didn't feel excessively thirsty, or bloated, ir dehydrated. Some restaurants really brine the meat while marinating, but here it's another level of perfection. Good service and a reasonable price, although the menu prices might be behind current food costs. Still, it was totally worth it. I didn't have a way to keep leftovers in a safe temperature range, so I ate everything. Full, but not stuffed.

Wow, this place was SO good -- I'm already planning my next visit!…read more I went with my kids and we ordered a beef shawarma plate with double salad instead of rice, a chicken shawarma wrap made the classic way, and another chicken shawarma wrap made CRISPY. I kept saying..."I should have got the fries!" I watched orders of fries coming and out and they looked amazing. The portion sizes were incredibly generous -- when the food arrived, my first thought was that someone had brought me an actual mountain of shawarma! The food was delicious and the sauces were great. I'm always a fan of garlic toum, but they also had a spicy-ish red and a green sauce that I loved. There were a couple of other sauces I didn't get to try yet -- definitely a reason to go back. The service was friendly and fast, the restaurant was clean and well-lit, and there was plenty of seating. The overall atmosphere was really pleasant -- except for the VERY loud family nearby, but hey, that's on them, not the restaurant . Highly recommend, and I will definitely be back! Sorry, no photos!! I was too excited to start digging in! Ill get some next time!!

After watching so many videos of people eating a crispy shawarma wrap, I had to get my hands on…read moreone! So, I'm glad I found this place! It's in a shopping plaza near the airport in Newport, surrounded by office buildings, and not somewhere I would have thought to visit otherwise. There was plenty of parking in the lot around 12:30 pm on a Saturday, although the store itself was packed with a line to order. I noticed that many people were ordering to go, so we managed to snag a table after ordering. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap and asked for it to be "crispy." I didn't see that option listed, so I made sure they pressed it. Wow, that was AMAZING! Having it crispy on the outside was a nice touch, which contrasted from the soft texture inside. The chicken was very tender and full of flavor. It's has garlic sauce, but not a lot, so it may be worth asking for some on the side if you prefer it more saucy. Also, the wrap is on the smaller side, so maybe not the best option if you're hungry. We also ordered the loaded fries with beef to share among our group of 4. It was really filling! The beef was very tender, and the fries held up well under the toppings without getting soggy. I also liked the added crunch from the onions and cabbage. I didn't expect making a wrap crispy to be such a game changer, but it really was! It's definitely worth trying. And I'm ready to come back for another round.
