Welcome to Cello Mediterranean Grill & Lounge

“ I always order the chicken fajita from here and it’s amazing every time! They even sent me dessert with my order, which was such a nice touch. Great food and service! ”

“ I was looking for food late night and went here, ended up having some of the best Shwarma and falafel! Service was awesome, the coffee drinks were delicious. They had a chocolate fountain and deserts. Overall, highly recommend. ”

“ Delicious from start to finish! We were seated right away, and drinks hit the table fast (major points on a hot day!). The menu has tons of tempting options — I was bummed the lentil soup wasn’t available yet (still a soft opening), but everything we did try was *so* worth it. The food was super fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love. My family loved the rich dark hot chocolate, the refreshing berry smoothie, the berry crepe, and chicken shawarma plate. The inside is cozy and welcoming, great vibes all around. There’s outdoor seating too, but we stuck with the comfy indoors. Can’t wait to come back — and next time, I’m getting that lentil soup! ”

“ Amazing experience at Cello Mediterranean Grill & Lounge! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was cozy yet vibrant, and the staff was super friendly and attentive. Definitely coming back! ”

“ My first time coming after the rebrand and change in ownership. The new owners and staff were so welcoming. I came with a group of 6 total. We were immediately seated. We ordered and when the food arrived we could tell it was prepared fresh to order. It was delicious. They now have a lot of dessert and drink options such as different types of coffee. The biggest change were the renovations done. The restaurant is gorgeous. You’d think this was a five star resort somewhere. They have kept the prices on the menu affordable which I love. They are keeping us in mind even with the money they have invested In The restaraunt. I definitely recommend everyone gives it a try. ”

“ We have been excitedly waiting for Cello to open up and they're ready to serve! Apps: Cheese Sambosa - very cheesy, fresh herb flavor and good cheese pull. Perfectly fried. Really refreshing and savory cheese flavor. Beef kibbeh - best kibbeh I have had than other places, not gritty and has good flavor, would love if it also came with a sauce. Batata harra - STAR OF OUR MEAL. These potatoes were tender, flavorful, smokey spicy and had such a great flavor. I wish I had a bigger bowl. Definitely coming back for these potatoes! We couldn't stop talking about it. Slow heat and definitely good for spice lovers! Pita bread and Hummus Entree: Chicken Tawook -chicken was juicy, tender and had great flavor. Could really taste the marinating without it being too much. Realy really good spices and flavor. The RICE was also really good, moist, fluffy and good flavor. Dessert: Dubai Crepe - must have with the vanilla ice cream. The knaffeh inside with the sauces were great! Love the crunch and flavor. Drinks: hazelnut latte and passion fruit sweet tea, loved the tea especially! Not sure if refills were free but if they are I'd be so excited! Great service and atmosphere, they have really put a lot of thought and design into the restaurant inside and out! The patio is coming together, although I don't do hookah I would love to just eat outside under the patio. The owners are super friendly and welcoming. I really appreciate the customer service, recommendations and really look forward to coming back. There is so much more to try! Glad we came and can't wait til everything is finished! ”

“ The desserts are amazing! Food was great. And good vibes :) ”

“ I really wanted a proper chicken shawarma and I tried a lot of places here in Orange County, I was shocked that this shawarma was really good compared to other shops in my opinion the best if your used to Jordanian shawarma this is as close as you can get. Thanks ! ”
