Soltani Restaurant - Beef Koobideh with Green Rice

Long bookmarked on Yelp, but I didn't find myself anywhere near the area until recently to actually…read moretry the food. Located on 1st in Santa Ana near Tustin, there's a wrought iron fence around the private lot, and the restaurant is open until 9pm most nights. I was surprised nobody was dining in, and except for a woman waiting for her takeout order to be made, I was the only person for most of the visit. I quickly realized the phone rings often, so most business is ordered ahead, with the option to eat there, in the car, or take home. Clearly, for presentation and likely quantity, I recommend eating there. The host is a nice older gentleman who literally does it all, and is so good it hardly seems like he's working. My Shish kabob plate came out faster than expected, and I was almost as impressed with the salad as the saffron rice and actual kabob, which is tender and amazing by the way. Basically, you pick a drink from the refrigerator, and I let him talk me into trying hummus, and appetizer, which ultimately comes with cut flatbread. His take is less creamy than other restaurants, but the flavors are fresh, without garlic. Don't worry, the salad dressing is a fantastic creamy Italian style. All-in-all, I was enjoying every bite and pretty much ate everything, although I preserved some hummus to eat at home. The price was commiserate with the quality, and I suppose I'll try more when I'm around the area.

I've been wanting to eat at Papa K's Mediterranean Kitchen since the first show I went to at the…read moreObservatory last year. Thanks to a two day fest called Hellfest going on and my need to eat a meal before hand, I finally came here a few weeks back and it was well worth the wait. I came here around 2PM on a Friday and the place was pretty busy. The menu here had a good amount of options but the Chipotle Chicken Wrap with French Fries was calling my name and that's exactly what i ordered. The gentleman working here was super friendly and the food came out super quick. The Chipotle Chicken Wrap itself was absolutely delicious! The chicken had great flavour and the veggies made it even better. The french fries were standard to this kind of place, but they were crispy and tasted great. Overall, Papa K's Mediterranean Kitchen is a fantastic spot to grab a bite to eat and somewhere I'll definitely be returning to in the future when coming to the Observatory.

Papa K's Mediterranean absolutely exceeded expectations. Came here with a large group of friends…read moreafter church and everything from the food to the portions was outstanding. I ordered the chicken shawarma and was honestly surprised by how massive the portion was for the price -- easily one of the best value meals I've had in a long time. I also tried the lamb platter, which was just as generous and packed with flavor. The PK platter was the real highlight. An incredible variety with grape leaves, kubbeh, falafel, spicy pickles, and a selection of Middle Eastern dipping sauces that were all fresh and delicious. Every bite felt authentic and thoughtfully prepared. Great food, great portions, great value. Highly recommend.

We had the chicken and steak shawarma plates, the tabbouleh, the steak shawarma wrap. All were terrific, my personal preference was the chicken. Truly a good spot with tasty food and generous portions! We had one little mixup with one of our orders and it was fixed easily without question. They made it right completely. That speaks volumes about their customer service. Great spot, highly recommend!

Overall it wasn't bad here, I just think the fries were a miss. The portions are huge though,…read moredefinitely had enough for multiple meals. It wasn't quite as good as I expected from the reviews, but it's decent for the amount of food you get and that rice! Premium Mixed Grill Plate -- 3/5 I liked the chicken the best out of the three. The beef kebab just tasted like regular ground beef to me and the lamb was overdone, which was a bummer. But the rice? Amazing. It was so fluffy and flowery. I would come back just for that rice. 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.
