Outstanding BBQ and Friendly Service Shine

Upon stepping into this seemingly unassuming restaurant discreetly tucked away near Disneyland, it's as though one has been transported from the bustle outside to a familial haven speckled with the aroma of freshly grilled kebabs. There’s an undeniable warmth resonating from the dedicated staff and patrons alike, exuding a palpable charm reminiscent of a favorite aunt’s kitchen. The menu leaps into your senses with colorful arrays of dishes, promising flavors that echo tales of tradition and epicurean adventure. Within its comforting walls, one feels immediately at home, enveloped by cheerful banter and the comfortable clatter of plates being lovingly piled with food.

A sampler of the famed mixed grill instantly reveals why diners often journey far beyond their own kitchens to experience it. Chops, well-marinated in spices embracing an earthy depth, complement tender chicken tikka with audacious heat, both begging to be devoured lustily. Despite the odd instances of less-than-perfect service or unconventional practices such as forgoing tap water, missteps feel submerged beneath waves of mouthwatering arabesques performed by the chefs. The ambiance of genial service cuts through hiccups like a hot knife through butter, while hinting at familial hospitality that coaxes diners to return, eager for more slices of comfort and heaps of delectable tradition. Regardless, anyone passing by these doors is assured, as I was, that this restaurant holds treasures worth savoring again and again—a worthy detour from the crowd-filled enthusiasms of Disney. — Clarissa Cuisinier
