    Hard Seltzer on tap
    Anita M.

    Hubby and I came here for drinks on a Saturday evening, as we've been curious about Villa Haven for a while now. It was not busy at all, maybe one other party at the bar and a family who was dining in. Our waitress/bartender was quick to serve us - but on round 2, we asked for the Pink Lemonade Hard Seltzer that was advertised and she seemed lost. She asked if we wanted to try something else that wasn't a hard seltzer and we kindly declined. However, we noticed the Pink Lemonade Hard Seltzer was on the side opposite of the fridge she opened. This seemed kind of disappointing that the worker didn't know where their own products were at. So we got the Hard Seltzer on tap (I think it was either Brewery X or Truly) and I got the Yuzu Lychee which was delicious. When it came time to pay our bill, there were now two servers at the bar, and 2-3 just standing around talking and not paying attention. No new parties entered while we were there - and it took forever to grab their attention that we wanted the check. I had to personally walk over to let them know. Yes, it may have been a bad day, but I feel it was slow enough to where we shouldn't have been ignored. I would probably give them another shot - as the Pineapple Margarita was really good. 3 stars for now - until next time. I hope to be able to update my review in the near future.

    Dip Trio! Best thing we ordered!
    Sarah D.

    To my surprise, I had no idea that this was where the old Rock N' Brews used to be located. It's in a shopping center with plenty of parking, no need to worry about that! My friend and I came for lunch on a Friday at 12pm and there was maybe 2 other parties here and then us. We sat outside as it was a lovely day, but I think that turned out to be a bad decision as there was only 1 server working and it seemed that we were being neglected because we were outside. Times in between us ordering our drinks and appetizer and then entree was too far in between and we were never checked on during the meal. The best thing we ordered was the Dip Trio! HIGHLY recommend! They give you HUGE portions of hummus, tzatziki, and baba ghanoush. My only thing is I wish they provided more veggie sticks/pitas for the amount of dips they give you (as you can see, those dishes are DEEP). The garlic paste on my chicken & kofta meal tasted very bland/microwaved. The garlic paste was NOT what I was expecting and tasted more like oil and not fresh garlic. The chicken was decent as was the kofta, but the veggies were bland as well. My friend ordered the Mediterranean salad was highly disappointed in that is was supposed to come with mixed greens as it is easier for her to eat than iceberg and the waitress didn't seem to have an answer as to why it was made wrong. My friend also ask and confirmed if the chicken was like a chicken kabob and not just plain white chicken breast and asked if she can have the kabob chicken with the salad, and she did not get that. We did not each much of our entree and stuck with the appetizer. We might be going to a more authentic Mediterranean restaurant next time as this is more of a fusion restaurant with only a small section of Mediterranean food.

    Kofta Sandwich
    Alyssa T.

    A fun new restaurant in the Tustin area. There's plenty of parking in the shopping center. They have a very large space for both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor patio was more crowded while we were there and was mostly occupied by people who were there for hookah in addition to their dining experience. We opted to sit inside, which was on the emptier side. The staff is extremely friendly and very helpful with providing recommendations. The Santa Fe egg rolls are very good for sharing. The outside wasn't as crispy as I would have expected for an egg roll, but it was packed with ingredients in the middle and had a very delicious combination of flavors. The Philly Cheesesteak was good, but had less cheese than you would normally see in this type of sandwich. The meat was tender and was very enjoyable overall. The Kofta sandwich was packed with meat and had really good flavor. It was a lot of bread for the amount of filling and was a little bit on the dry side, but the meat itself was delicious. Both sandwiches came with a generous portion of fries which were nice and crispy. They have a very large menu, so I would definitely be interested in going back to try some of their other dishes as well. The receipt has a QR code that you scan in order to pay online, but you are also able to pay in person depending on your preference.

    Kafta sandwich!
    Leslie S.

    It's not much different than Rock n Brews that was in this location before. Which also wasn't very good. The menu is extensive but all the food seemed to be sub-par. I do appreciate that they added Mediterranean food to the menu, which I love! I ordered the Kafta sandwich but it was a disappointment. The bread was flavorless and too rough. The meat was just ok. For our appetizers we ordered the buffalo chicken wings and the stuffed pita. The stuffed pita was incredible. I will order that as my main meal next time. The buffalo chicken wings weren't very good so we won't be ordering those again. I was between 3 and 4 stars but what brought me to 3 stars was that the patio now has a smoking section! Which, let's be real, basically means the entire patio will now reek of cigarette smoke. I don't even want my children sitting outside in the non smoking section. So families, heads up about that. I don't think we will be back here anytime soon but we probably will end up back here just because it's so close to our home and there is usually never a dinner crowd.

    Soooo came here around 4pm to enjoy hookah mind you this is my first time for hookah. So a couple of me and my girls picked this place. Now hookah doesn't start until 5:30 ok fine, so we ordered drinks we place a food order. So as time is going by our drinks are empty and no food has come out. Mind you we are the ONLY 3 people here. I go in and say hey dont forget about us outside. Where is our food and can we place another drink order? Bartender JOHN steps in and says I got you. Another waitress brings us drinks and let's us know the original waitress never submitted our order frustration starts to build ok fine. Get our 2nd round of drinks and they are not like the first JOHN comes out extremely apologetic of the mess and says he'll take care of us. So by this time its 5:30 where's our hookah. We let John know our flavor he puts it in tells the hookah guy to set up another 15mins goes by and others have arrived and are getting their hookah before us NOW we're pissed. So Matthew was walking around not doing anything we ask him can you go ask the hookah guy to bring our hookah hes kinda hesitate and useless becuz we literally saw him do nothing. Who comes to our rescue JOHN our hero mind you this man is the bartender and coming out of his way to come help us outside becuz mind you NO ONE ELSE came to check on us. We didn't get our hookah until about 6pm which was unacceptable. The supervisor Nina came to talk to us we gave JOHN the praise he deserved he ran the front of the house and back of house. Crazy becuz we wanted to love this place, beautiful setting outside even though we had to ask Matthew to put lights on our table smh. Waitress walked passed us with no assistance if it weren't for John we wouldn't have got anything. Food is not bad, hookah was nice but the SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE the worst I've ever experienced. But our hero John made it better and he is the only reason I'm giving 2 stars. They need some serious training when it comes to their waiters and waitresses. It got to the point of us questioning ourselves is it becuz we're black. We'd love to come back but the service needs a serious upgrade.

    Today was my first visit for lunch lunch. It wasn't busy or loud which was great!! They service was amazing, we felt catered to and our server was kind enough to bring some water to the outdoor patio for our dog. The food was delicious!! I really wasn't expecting it to have so much flavor. Hands down, I recommend dining here.

    A very empty and restaurant

    I am not usually one to complain, and I understand that service can be slow sometimes, but this was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. My parents and I all ordered at the same time, yet after waiting about an hour, my dad was the only one who was ever served. My mom and I sat there the entire time with no food, despite being checked on twice and told both times that our orders would be "right out." The worst part was that we were the only people in the restaurant eating, so there was really no excuse for such a long wait. After nearly an hour, I finally told them I did not want my food or my mom's food anymore. Instead of apologizing, they tried to convince me to still take it because "it's on the grill." When I said no, I was made to feel like I was somehow in the wrong. I spoke with the manager, who apologized, and I still paid for what I did eat. On the way out, the GM asked if everything was okay and clearly had no idea what was going on in his own restaurant. I explained everything and let him know how bad the service was. Zero out of ten. As bad as it gets. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy, and I will never be coming back.

    Decided to try this new restaurant that friends recommended to meet at since it was new in the area and we both love Mediterranean cuisine. We sat outside which had a nice patio and the hookah is outside (for my friends). We started with the dip trio which turned out to be my favorite. The dip trio came with hummus, baba ganouch (eggplant dip), and a cucumber dip. I decided to do appetizers for my order and my friends ordered the hamburger which is a must order, Mediterranean chicken and salmon. The server took our orders and served us quickly. The hamburger was flavorful, juicy and had an egg on top not to mention large portion. The salmon was cooked perfectly and spiced to my friend's liking. I would definitely return especially since the host mentioned live music Thursday-Sunday.

    Pineapple mojito

    Visiting from the bay and our friend mentioned this is a great place to enjoy the evening out with a good vibe. They did not disappoint. Sam accommodated us with a last minute reservation- DJ was great, diverse environment with great hookah! Highly recommend but book your reservation in advance

    This is a huge place with pitchers of beer and many other options from all sorts of beer to liquor. The service is fast and friendly, I had the burger with bacon and it was absolutely delicious, good tasting all around burger thick with a nice juicy patty. I will definitely be coming back here and soon!

    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.

    Cairo Restaurant & Cafe - Anaheim Rating: (5/5)…read more I ordered from Cairo Restaurant & Cafe through Uber Eats, and this ended up being one of the most meaningful food experiences I've had in a long time. For context, I come from Egyptian heritage. I'm first-generation American, and both of my parents grew up in Cairo. The dishes I ordered -- Hawashy as an appetizer and Makaroni Bechamel (Bashmil) casserole -- are foods I grew up with. The last time I had this exact meal cooked for me by my mother was several years ago, so placing this order felt like a gamble, especially with the restaurant being all the way in Anaheim while I live in Irvine. That gamble paid off immediately. From the very first bite, the food tasted unmistakably authentic. The hawashy was deeply seasoned, rich, and comforting -- exactly how it's supposed to be, not watered down or adjusted for convenience. The makaroni bechamel was the real emotional gut punch in the best way possible. Creamy, savory, perfectly spiced, and layered the way it's done back home. It tasted like something made with care, patience, and respect for the dish. I'm not exaggerating when I say this meal hit me hard. After one bite, I literally called the restaurant just to thank them. I asked to speak to the manager and told him what this meal meant to me -- how it tasted like something my own mother would make, how it brought back memories I didn't realize I'd been missing. That call wasn't planned. It was instinctive. Huge shout-out to Zayne, the manager, who was incredibly kind and generous on the phone. He even sent along kunafa for dessert, which was the perfect ending to the meal -- warm, sweet, and beautifully made. Beyond the food itself, the packaging deserves real praise. Everything arrived hot, which is not easy, especially for a casserole like makaroni bechamel. Once that dish cools too much, it loses something important. This didn't. It arrived as if it had just come out of the oven, which speaks volumes about the care taken in preparing orders for delivery. This is not a 5-star review because of nostalgia or heritage alone. It's a 5-star review because the food was genuinely outstanding -- rich, decadent, comforting, and made the right way. It is very hard for me to say that something compares to my mother's cooking, but this truly came close. I cannot wait to come in person in the next few weeks. Cairo Restaurant & Cafe didn't just serve food -- they delivered a memory.
