Ariana Gyros & Kabobs — Restaurant in California

Good potential for becoming a very nice restaurant, just not there yet.

Ordered soft drinks from menu, what I wanted wasn't available. Table water not offered, forced to purchase bottled water for $1.50. Not going to break me, but not the usual custom.

Jalapeno Poppers were good at $5 for 5.

Raw garlic on the garlic fries was too spicy to tolerate, for me. Garlic needs to be cooked a bit to lose that digestive bite.

Gyro is sliced off then grilled.

Falafel was good, the bread had a nice flavor. Instead of a pocket of thin bread, they wrapped a thick bread to make the falafel wrap. Too much bread for my taste.

The Hooka smoke blew around the building, so we had to smell the tobacco smoke while we ate. Wind direction dependent.

The dining patio with some artistic flare could become very nice. Low volume music. Acid stain concrete. A little classic statuary.

Inside seating was shutdown, will come back, and look forward to...

I wish I could have visit this place for the first time pre-covid, you can tell it would have been a fun place to go. Alas our fist try was out of styrofoam containers, but it won't be our last try.

The food was excellent, we tried the gyros and the shish kabobs. They were fantastic all round. The bread tasted in house made and the sauce on the gyro was superb. The rice was a perfect blend of spices and oil.

Overall it was a fantastic value and a delicious meal. The service was as good as you can get for over the counter and I get the feeling they excell at tableside.

Can't wait to try it when it is back up...

If you’re looking for a chilled, laid back environment I HIGHLY recommend this place !! The food is mouth watering delicious, catered to your own spice level! And the hookah lounge has a very cozy patio setup where you can get together with a few friends and enjoy your time in a peaceful setting. The owners and workers in the back are very sweet and loving individuals that makes you feel like home. My friends and I have always had an amazing time out here & it’s our #1...
