    Royal Khyber ............ A Journey for your palate and mind. The art of Indian cookery lies NOT in high spicing but in the delicacy of spicing. Indian cuisine is universally known for its distinctive flavorings. It was in fact the lure of these spices which first brought the British and the French, the Dutch and the Portuguese to the Indian coast. It is the use of selected spices in a particular manner (whole spices, ground and or spice blends) to bring out the dormant flavors of a dish, which is the real art, practiced by the experienced chefs in the Royal Khyber kitchen.
    Royal Khyber is a Fine Indian Cuisine Restaurant, located in South Coast Plaza Village (across from Nordstrom).

    Delicious Mexican cuisine on 4th Street in Santa Ana, across from the Reagan Federal Building. Hosts and servers are great -- especially Daniel and Vanessa. Shortrib tacos are amazing. Super weekday lunch specials $11 a plate, with many choices. The asada quesadilla and chicken taquitos are tasty and filling. Fully recommend.

    ✨ An unforgettable dining experience! ✨ We had the best time at Sonder , the food was absolutely incredible! Every dish had its own unique flavor, yet everything complemented each other perfectly. You can truly tell there’s creativity and thought behind every plate. Our server was fantastic, friendly, attentive, and made our night even better. The cocktails? Next level. So delicious and beautifully crafted. The atmosphere is cozy and stylish, and the live DJ on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays adds such a fun, lively vibe. Can’t wait to go back!
