    As a frequent traveler, I’ll be honest as always. The service was fast, and the food was very delicious and fresh. I ordered a shawarma, and it was great — the garlic flavor was strong, the chicken was tasty, and the seasoning was rich and well-grilled. The owner was friendly, smiling, and very welcoming. I really appreciated that.

    The food was incredibly flavorful and pretty to look at. The gentlemen take great care as they prepare your dish and you can feel the love they put in their food. I especially enjoyed the meats and the sauces. Try the hot sauce! A heads up- they have minimal seating and it’s on stools. It looked like they were building a deck which would be perfect for people who require a chair. The stools didn’t bother us and we didn’t enjoy our food any less for lacking a back to our seats, but I know it’s important to some. The service is outstanding! I hope you try them out!

    This is my go-to spot in Laguna! I will never pass up a lamb gyro from Adonis. I take all my friends here when I get the chance. The store owner is so kind and generous and the food is so delicious. I love that I can grab my food and watch the sunset all in the same spot! 10/10

    LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!!! FOOD IS SO GOOD AND THE PEOPLE WHO WORK THERE ARE KIND. PRETTY PLACE, PLACES TO SIT, FAST SERVICE. The owner is incredibly kind and thoughtful. It’s a pleasure to chat with him! He puts love into every dish and enjoys what he does as far as I can tell! Very friendly. There is new outdoor seating! It’s comfortable and has an amazing view of the ocean. Always super clean. The gyro shaworma is delicious. Get the French fries also! And a drink! You’ll have the perfect beachside meal. There are pictures of the food so it’s easy to tell what you’ll be getting. It’s always fresh. I’ve become a regular because of how positive my experiences have always been here! Every time I go to Laguna Beach I eat at Adonis. Yes, it’s cash only but there is an ATM right inside this place so it’s incredibly easy and it’s always with the amazing delicious FOOD! Do NOT hesitate to go here. My mom and grandma also loved it. And all of my friends too.

    Halal spot ; I visited this place in October while I was in Laguna Beach and decided to stop by. It's a cute little restaurant with pretty reasonable prices. The only downside is that it's cash-only, so you'll need to withdraw money from the ATM machine inside, which charges a $1 fee per transaction. Aside from that, the experience was great! The server was a nice and pleasant guy, and the shawarma was hot and super delicious. Definitely planning to stop by again whenever I'm in Laguna Beach!

    The Adonis Restaurant is a Taste of Mediterranean Paradise in Laguna Beach From the moment you step up to Adonis Restaurant, you're transported to the sun-soaked shores of the Mediterranean. This Laguna Beach gem offers an authentic dining experience that stands out even in this foodie-rich coastal town. I especially want to mention the kind nature of the gentleman working behind the counter. This is a CASH ONLY restaurant and when I wasn’t sure if I had cash on me (after already ordering), he said “don’t worry about it, brother if you don’t have it, you can pay next time“. This is the small time vibe that I’ve grown to love and Laguna. The star of the menu is undoubtedly their beef lamb gyro. Perfectly seasoned meat, tender and juicy, wrapped in warm, fresh pita with just the right balance of tzatziki, crisp vegetables, and herbs. Each bite delivers an explosion of flavor that kept me coming back for more. The atmosphere strikes that delicate balance between casual and upscale, making it perfect for both special occasions and impromptu lunch visits. Service is attentive without being intrusive, and the staff's knowledge of the menu demonstrates a genuine passion for the cuisine. Don't miss their house-made baklava for dessert – the perfect sweet ending to a memorable meal. Adonis has secured its place as my go-to Mediterranean, quick-bite in Orange County. Whether you're a local or just passing through Laguna Beach, this is a dining experience not to be missed.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
