    Kofta Plate
    Pinky N.

    I LOVE this restaurant! The food we have get us always delicious, hot and fresh. Tonight I ordered the Kufta and it was as food as I had hoped! My sister for the mixed plate with chicken and beef and the other sister got the salad. The service was quick and efficient and friendly. The restaurant itself is humble and clean. They do not offer water cups, so you have to buy a beverage OR bring your own water in. Overall a great eating experience.

    Delicious and fresh, some of the best I've had. I highly recommend this place. I got the chicken shawarma wrap with fries and I tried a cool peach mango soda.

    Ordered on Uber Eats. Packaged well. I got the mix grill so it came with both chicken and steak kabob, rice, salad, hummus, pita and sides of two sauces. Everything was delicious! The chicken was moist and soft!

    Beef
    Rami B.

    Easily the best shawerma I've had in California, especially the beef. It was generously stuffed with juicy tender meats, tahini, pickles, onions and tomatoes. Portions are generous, and prices are very reasonable. The chicken was delicious - you seasoned very well and complimented with garlic spread, which was authentic and not watered down. Modestly decorated with Palestinian ornaments adorning the walls, and a nice outdoor patio.

    Mixed shawarma
    Horacio C.

    Tried the mixed chicken and beef shawarma and it was delicious--perfectly seasoned, juicy slices with great char. The rice arrived hot and full of flavor, the side salad crisp and bright, and the hummus was creamy and incredible (I could eat a tub of it). Generous portions, fast service, and everything tasted fresh. Highly recommended for a tasty, satisfying Mediterranean meal.

    Falafel plate
    Christine L.

    This is our go-to spot for Mediterranean. The menu is pretty standard: gyro, kofta, falafel, etc. BUT the flavor is amazing. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Even my kids love everything from the beef kebabs to the kofta. Lately, I've been getting the shawarma wrap. It's a good deal and nice sized meal. Also, hands down the best hummus ever. My kids devour it. They've done some keep with the decor and renovations. It's a nice spot for a quick dinner. Even sitting outdoors is not bad because it's walled off from the street. The service is standard. They're friendly but also to the point and get orders out.

    Checking out this popular spot in Garden Grove!

    Discovered Shawarma House while staying at the Great Wolf Lodge, and with Yelps high reviews, we had to stop by. There is a standing tablet by the door to place your order, but you can also place your order by the register, especially if there is no line. Beware of using the Kiosk, I noticed on my receipt that there is a Kiosk charge (first time I have heard of this)! Ordered the Beef Shawarma Plate, Cheese Sambousek, Baklava for dine in; and a Large Rice to go. For what we ordered, it was plenty, servings for 2 people. The plate included, salad, pita bread and hummus along with beef shawarma shavings and yellow rice. Food was good, prices are reasonable. There was a constant flow of customer, validating how good their food is! Unlike other Shawarma/Mediterranean Restaurants I have been too, they do not provide complementary Tea. Establishment was clean, friendly staff, lots of parking. Stop by if ever you are staying at the Great Wolf Lodge, just don't use the Kiosk if it is not busy.

    Past by this place and decided to try it. Staff move pretty fast making it a great place when you just want to grab a quick bite to eat. Chicken shawarma - they toast the wrap so it's crispy on the outside and on the smaller side. Think burrito that comes with side of chili and yogurt tzatziki like sauce. Chicken kabob - tender chicken with a side of salad, humus and rice. Really good chicken! Both items were good! Parking was not a problem. We did have to wait a while for our food (5-10 minutes).

    Shawarma House is our go-to lunch spot at work and it never disappoints. My coworkers and I order the family deals all the time, and it's honestly the best way to feed a group -- tons of food, great variety, and everything is always fresh and flavorful. The main dishes are solid, but the real stars for me are the sides. Their garlic sauce is SO good -- creamy, bold, and basically addictive. I could put it on everything. And the babaganoush is amazing too, super smoky and smooth with that perfect homemade taste. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and it's always a crowd-pleaser when we order. If you're feeding a group or just craving really good Mediterranean food, this place is a must.

    Chicken kabob plate
    Victoria C.

    Honestly this is my new favorite Mediterranean spot! I ordered the chicken kabob plate to share with my partner. It was more than enough food for us to enjoy a lighter lunch. Be hungry if you're ordering two plates! I think the establishment prefers that you order on the screen so that they can focus on getting out the orders fast. The food tasted great. I really loved that the salad wasn't plain. It had a great flavor, as did the chicken, rice and hummus. Staff is super friendly. They knew we were sharing and offered us 2 sauces. There is plenty of seating indoors and the outdoor area has a nice patio. The tables were all kept really clean. Overall, it's a really great place, and we will definitely be coming back to try some of their other stuff.

    We had Jerusalem Roastery in mind for dessert and this place is the ultimate partner for the entree, three doors down. Bit dark inside but still, clean enough and plenty of seats available. Our falafel and chicken wraps were nice and well packed in, meaning very little chance to spill the contents over your outfit. Fries that accompanied the order, were crispy on the outside but a but mush on the inside. Good flavors though. Yoghurt and pepper sauces were on point and the yoghurt was actually thick and flavorful. Our sodas were definitely middle-eastern but matched the food well. Service was on point as well, no complaint on that point. Price wise, in there with everybody else which makes a regular visit prohibitive but from time to time a nice reason to eat out.

    Wraps are so good. Filled with protein
    Vu N.

    Shawarma house. I loved it. Got two wraps. 1 chicken and 1 beef. 11 dollars each. Filled with a lot of protein. Lots of pickles. Toasted. With the sauce. So good. Not greasy. Very flavorful. 3 extra bucks got me some fries. I'll be back to try the combos. And sides

    Salad & Hummus/Dips!

    I've been interested in trying Smash N' Sizzle for awhile now, and my schedule has finally aligned…read morewith one of their pre-order windows this afternoon! The order process was pretty simple -- I responded to their Instagram story and they reached out with follow-up questions, menu options, and pickup details. The pickup was from a home residence in the city of Garden Grove (off of Brookhurst Street and Hazard Avenue), nearby Pho 79 if you're familiar with the area. The exact address is provided with your order! The owner, Aamir, was very friendly and professional when I picked up my food and the burgers were packaged very neatly in separate boxes. I ordered two smash burgers that included three patties each, which cost $15 per burger. They included caramelized onions and jalapenos, which were a delightful surprise. The patties were a little salty, but upon reading the other reviews, I see that the owner pre-marinates the patty meat. The prices were also steep for just the burger, and I thought my order would come with fries on the side, but that doesn't take away from the quality of the food. All in all, I would return for future orders and would love to see them open a brick-and-mortar restaurant someday, ideally in Garden Grove still. 10/10 rating and five stars all around for a seamless ordering experience, delicious food, and timeless customer service.

The owner is super responsive, and you can tell he wants to provide the best service possible. During this special pop-up event, they were serving two's a tango that features their warm brioche bun along with two halal patties smashed with cheese and carmelized onions on top. The burger itself was massive, with one being more than enough to feed a hungry person. After talking to the owner, he mentioned he pre-marinates his meat, so that could be the reason why the taste was a little salty for us. The sauce is awesome and complimentary, so when ordering, if you don't plan on eating the burger right away, to prevent sogginess, ask for extra on the side. I know some people prefer the meatiness, but I am a sauce type of girl. Overall, the flavors of the burger meshed well! Thank you for adding another place for halal goodness. I'm hoping you guys do well and keep quality up.

From the moment it hit the table, I could smell how rich and flavorful the broth was. You can tell it wasn't rushed--it tasted like it had been simmering for hours. Every spoonful was comforting, packed with depth, and had the perfect balance of savory flavors. The beef was unbelievably tender, practically melting in my mouth, and the noodles had the perfect bite. This is the kind of meal that reminds you why pho is one of the best comfort foods out there. What really impressed me was the freshness of everything. The herbs were vibrant, the bean sprouts had a great crunch, the jalapeños added the perfect kick, and a squeeze of lime brought the entire bowl together. Every ingredient complemented the broth instead of overpowering it. I found myself slowing down just to enjoy every bite because it was that good. By the time I finished, I was honestly wishing there was another bowl waiting for me. The service and atmosphere made the experience even better. Everyone was welcoming, attentive, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. It's always a bonus when great food is matched by great hospitality. Pho Redbo has officially earned a spot on my list of favorite pho restaurants, and I already know I'll be back to try more of the menu. If you're searching for a pho spot that delivers on flavor, freshness, and overall experience, don't sleep on this place--you'll leave happy and already planning your next visit.

    Juicy, Flavorful Chicken Kebab!…read more I finally tried the chicken kebab from Kebab Grill, and it did not disappoint! The chicken was tender, juicy, and nicely charred, with a delicious grilled flavor in every bite. The plate also came with a fresh cucumber-and-tomato salad, pickled vegetables, and a creamy yogurt-based sauce. I really liked how everything came together--the freshness of the salad and tanginess of the pickles balanced the savory, seasoned chicken perfectly. The portions were generous, and everything looked fresh and appetizing when I opened the box. This is definitely the kind of meal where you keep going back for "just one more bite." Overall: really tasty chicken kebab and a meal I'd happily order again.

We moved further away, so it just slipped out of the regular rotation--but it's one of those places I've always remembered fondly and definitely missed. Happy to report it's still very good. I came in craving a shawarma combo, so I went with the chicken and lamb combo and chose cucumber-tomato salad and tzatziki for the two sides. Everything was well prepared and flavorful, just like I remembered. The portions are big, the kind where if you're not a huge eater you can easily turn one plate into two meals. Always appreciate that. Service was friendly and welcoming, and the place felt clean and well kept. It has that family-run feel, which adds to the experience. The only thing that's changed a bit over the years is the value. Prices are definitely higher than I remember, but honestly that seems to be the case everywhere these days. The generous portions help balance that out. Located in a strip mall in Westminster, it may not be flashy, but if you're looking for solid Mediterranean food, big servings, and friendly service, it still delivers. Glad I made the return visit. Definitely won't let it be so long next time.

    My friend and I happened to be in the area and came across a TikTok showing the food at VOX…read moreKitchen, and we immediately said, "Okay, we HAVE to try this place." And I am SO glad we did because everything about our experience was seriously a 10/10! From the moment we walked in, the customer service was amazing. The gentleman at the front greeted us and escorted us to our table, and right away we felt welcomed and comfortable. Our server, Quang, was absolutely the sweetest! He was so friendly, outgoing, attentive, and helpful, especially when it came to giving us recommendations since it was our first time there. He had such a positive energy and really made our experience even better. And the FOOD!!! If I could give it 1,000/10, I seriously would. We tried the Ube Cloud, Vietnamese Iced Coffee, Garlic Parmesan Fries, Spicy Shrimp Wontons, Corn Ribs, Garlic Butter Prawns, and Filet Garlic Noodles, and honestly, there wasn't ONE thing we didn't enjoy. Everything was full of flavor and absolutely delicious. But what really stood out to us was that it wasn't just the food -- it was the entire experience. The staff, the atmosphere, the music, and just the overall vibe made us feel so comfortable and welcomed. The music they were playing was amazing too! My friend and I were enjoying ourselves, eating good food, listening to good music, and just having such a great time. The whole place honestly had such a warm, homey feeling to it. When we were leaving, the gentleman who had greeted and seated us earlier ended up having a whole conversation with my friend and me. He was so sweet and personable! He mentioned that they may be opening a location in Culver City, and I told him I really hope they do because that would be much closer to home for me. I was even joking with him that if they open one, they need to bring the whole staff from this location over there too because everyone here was THAT amazing. At the same time, even if there ends up being a location closer to me, I would honestly still make the drive back to this one. When you visit somewhere for the first time and have such a great experience, that location becomes special. You can visit the same restaurant somewhere else, but the people, atmosphere, and experience aren't necessarily going to feel the same. This location definitely left that kind of impression on us. I really hope this review reaches management because the staff here deserves the recognition. Everyone we interacted with was wonderful, and Quang especially took such great care of us. This was our first time at VOX Kitchen, but it DEFINITELY won't be our last. We're already talking about coming back and bringing our family and more of our friends so we can all enjoy it together. 10/10 food. 10/10 service. 10/10 atmosphere. 10/10 experience.
