We really enjoyed the burgers and thought the quality was exceptional with strong flavors and nothing too greasy or heavy.

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.

From the two, the gully smash was our favorite--it's like a classic smash burger but the addition of pastrami enhanced it! The Bhangra smash was definitely different than any burger I've had before but you can definitely tell the south Asian influences in this one. The burgers were both enjoyable, however, they were on the oily side and felt a bit heavy. I'd say prices here were also pretty steep for what you're getting. I'd say that this is a great option for halal burgers, but I think if you're not restricted to eating halal meat, there are burger options that I like more. The restaurant itself is in a food court that has a decent amount of both indoor and outdoor seating. Service here is friendly and you could really tell that they're passionate about their food here (which is always positive points in my book).

The chicken tikka masala was not anything spectacular as I have had better elsewhere. But it definitely hit the spot. The samosa and the paneer were stars as each bite produced additional flavors which continued to build on each other. I could just eat these two dishes forever. We tried the dosa and the goat. The dosa was perfectly crispy when it was hot. I personally didn't enjoy eating it as leftovers the next day. But I couldn't stop eating it and dipping it in all the curries and sauces when it was piping hot. The goat surprised me as I'm not a huge fan of lamb or goat.

I tried the gol gappa, chicken samosa, beef biryani, malai chicken, beef nihari, channa chaat, chicken Tikka masala. Gol gappa - although they had the liquids, I couldn't find the stuffing to put in it. It was very plain. Chicken samosa - this was food. The crunch of the samosa with the filling inside dipped with green chutney was the right flavor. Beef biryani - when I saw this dish swinging by before the people started linning up, it looked super promising. But by the time it was my number in line, it was mostly yellow rice leftover. People must have pulled all the meat. Very disappointing. Beef nihari - this has little to no flavor that you would expect from this dish. Chicken Tikka masala - this was better and had a good taste. Channa - it was a mix of chaat and a cholay salan and failed to stick out on either. Malai chicken - it was okay. Overall the experience was better. Still getting fresh naan to the table. But food taste is still mediocre. The chai was also not right. Needed more milk.

Several beer pitchers in @ HACHI (just next door-shout out to them)-- for a celebration of a breakup, the end of midterms, or simply the triumph of continuing to exist (in THIS economy?? were all needing to praise ourselves for simply surviving) -- we found ourselves drawn, like moths to a fluorescently lit flame, to Halal Guys. Now listen. The food? Solid. Reliable. The kind of food that understands you are not here for nuance. You are here because life has punched you in the throat and you require a plate of rice, chicken, gyro meat, and mysterious white sauce to spiritually stabilize. I used to go to the OG one in NYC when i was getting punched in the throat there too. (PUNCHED IN THE THROAT BY ACADEMIA, FIGURATIVELY, y'all haver crazy imaginations outthere). BUT it;s the people... It's always the people... The staff. My siblings in falafel... it was 10 PM. You could feel the collective energy of "we have been serving drunk people since sunset and you are the 437th group tonight explaining your breakup story while pointing at the menu." Not judging, just warmth and the quiet aura of people who have seen things. Who have witnessed humanity at its lowest point: ordering extra hot sauce and then immediately regretting it.

First Impressions (1/5) When I walked in, there was only one person working, handling the fryer, the register, and assembling plates. I genuinely felt bad for her, especially considering the steady line forming. What We Got (2/5) I ordered a regular plate, which is what I usually get at Halal Guys. Nothing customized or complicated, just the standard order I have had many times before at other locations. Taste and Quality (0/5) The food was shockingly bad. The rice was raw and crunchy, which was hard to believe at first. The meat pieces were tiny and very chewy, and the pita bread was extremely soggy. On top of that, it was only around 4 pm and the usual spinning meat and grill were not even on, despite the line picking up. Service (2/5) The worker was clearly trying her best, but one person running everything in a busy location is not realistic. She was constantly running back and forth between the fryer and the line, which made the whole operation feel chaotic and slow. Space and Atmosphere (3/5) The space itself was fine and what you would expect from Halal Guys. Clean enough, but nothing stood out positively enough to offset the food experience. Was It Worth It (0/5) Not at all. As someone who is pretty frugal and almost always finishes their meals, I could not finish this plate. It genuinely felt like a waste of $18. Final Thoughts This location does not seem to be held to the same standards as other Halal Guys in the area. This experience was disappointing from start to finish.

A True Gem in Orange County -- My New Favorite Spot!…read more Fanous Mediterranean Grill is absolutely exceptional -- hands down one of my favorite places in all of Orange County. From the moment you walk in, you're met with the most vibrant, welcoming atmosphere. The music is fun and lively, the energy is amazing, and the entire place just feels like a celebration of culture and incredible food. Let's talk about the food... WOW. Every dish tastes unbelievably fresh -- you can literally feel how high-quality the ingredients are with every bite. The flavors are bold, authentic, and perfectly balanced. Whether you're ordering a classic dish or trying something new, everything is cooked to perfection. Their beverages deserve their own shoutout. They offer everything from refreshing, crisp juices to beautifully brewed Middle Eastern teas that warm your soul. It's rare to find a place where the drinks stand out just as much as the food, but Fanous nails it. The hookah? Amazing. Their flavored hookah is smooth, full, and clearly made with care -- perfect for relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere. And the staff... truly some of the nicest, most attentive people you'll ever meet. They make you feel like family from the moment you sit down. And finally -- the kenefeh. I don't even know how to do it justice. It's rich, perfectly sweet, warm, cheesy, crispy... just absolutely heavenly. Easily one of the best desserts I've ever had. Fanous Mediterranean Grill is a rare combination of fantastic food, great ambiance, and incredible service. If you haven't been yet, you are genuinely missing out. This place deserves all the spotlight -- and more.

I do like Mediterranean food and actually had a delicious Mediterranean lunch the day before at Villa Haven in Tustin. I ordered Chicken Shawarma which came with rice and pita bread. For my drink I asked for water. The water came in a bottle, which they charged me for, the rice was tasteless and the chicken I'll give a 4 out of 10. The waiter never came back to check on me or to ask if everything was okay. In honesty the only reason I'm even writing this review is in visiting the co-ed bathroom on the way out and once watering my hands the soap dispenser had no soap and the paper towel holder on the wall was empty so I had to leave with wet hands. I don't know if they have a separate bathroom in the kitchen for the cooks and staff but anyone using this bathroom had no soap or paper towel either.
