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.

I finally tried DönerG Turkish & Mediterranean Grill in Santa Ana, and we were seriously impressed!…read more We ordered the Turkish Fries and the Istanbowl, and both were absolutely delicious. The Turkish Fries were loaded with perfectly seasoned, tender döner meat and flavorful toppings that made every bite better than the last. The Istanbowl was fresh, colorful, and packed with crisp cucumbers, tomatoes, pickled vegetables, feta, jalapeños, corn, and incredibly flavorful döner over rice. The ingredients tasted fresh, the portions were generous, and every bite was full of flavor. The customer service was impeccable. Everyone was welcoming, friendly, and patient, making us feel like valued guests from the moment we walked in. Great food is one thing, but exceptional hospitality is what keeps people coming back and DönerG absolutely delivers both. One of my favorite parts of the experience was watching the meat slowly roasting on the vertical spit. It made me wonder if this was the inspiration behind Mexico's famous al pastor, and sure enough, it is! Learning about that culinary connection made the meal even more enjoyable.

As we got inside, the staff greeted us in a friendly manner and one of them even offered me some free add ons to my plate that I ordered, which was a nice gesture. I can't remember the name of my plate but I definitely wanted to have some chicken shwarma so I got that and it was delicious. Each and every component of the meal added a new depth of enjoyment that made me finish the entire meal with relative ease. There are also so many sauce choices to choose from and some of them tasted great, whereas one of them was not so much. The price of the foods here are a bit pricey, but they do definitely fill you up. I would definitely give this place another shot sometime in the future.

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.

I had flown into nearby John Wayne AIrport and needed to kill some time for rush hour traffic to lessen before the 2-hour drive to my final destination, and since I now make a point not to eat before or during flights, I was raging. Chicken Maison turned up on a quick Yelp check for nearby 4+ rated eateries, and the cheeky name won the day. I opted for the Spicy Chicken & Vegetable Kabob Combo with tabouli. I've had essentially this order at dozens of different establishments. The spicy chicken was incredibly moist, tender, and flavorful -- traits that are usually in conflict -- The vegetables and tabouli were fresh and everything of good quality. There wasn't a massive mound of rice or French fries to try to distract you from a disappointing kabob as I've had at countless other places. Don't bring your hoped-for future spouse here to wow with romantic ambiance, but if you want great food and good value, try Chicken Maison with good friends -- or solo on your way through town.
