Moonlight Pizza & Chicken — Restaurant in Fountain Valley

Moonlight Pizza and Chicken – Hidden Gem -Middle Eastern / Mediterranean buffet

I came across Moonlight Pizza and Chicken while exploring near Westminster and it turned out to be an incredible find. They offer a Middle Eastern open buffet that’s truly unbeatable for the price — $14.99 for lunch and $15.99 for dinner. Honestly, for the variety and quality, it’s an amazing deal.

The buffet spread is full of authentic flavors — the lamb stew was juicy and flavorful, the stew was rich and comforting, and the tabbouleh, hummus, and fresh salad options were top-notch. Everything tasted fresh, vibrant, and perfectly seasoned.

What makes it even more special is that this is a family-owned restaurant with over 30 years of history. You can really feel the warmth and hospitality in the service — the staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming. They also offer catering services, which I can easily imagine being a hit for any event.

The food has a wonderful blend of Turkish, Armenian, Arabic, and Persian influences, making the flavors both unique and familiar at the same time. It’s a place where you’ll want to go back again and again, not just for the food, but also for the atmosphere and kindness of the people running it.

Great value Authentic flavors Warm, family-owned feel

Definitely a spot worth visiting — delicious food, amazing people, and a buffet deal that’s...

What a hidden gem is this place!!! We came across this restaurant by accident, so we got inside just to check it out. To our surprise, it's not only a restaurant, but it's also a buffet: lunch weekdays until 3pm $8.99 and dinner until 8pm $10.99. We've never seen a indo european buffet before so we jumped at the opportunity to try the food here. Take a look at my pic...
