I have to tell you, when you walk up to this place and see the plastic covering for their outdoor space, it is not encouraging. The plastic has seen better days and it makes you wonder what will be inside. Well, inside was definitely nicer and the owner/server/host who took care of us was definitely friendly and inviting. We happened to be the first party to arrive that day. It was threating to rain but the covered outdoor space looked inviting. We picked a table and he cleaned it again before we sat (it already looked clean to me but this was nice). He also quickly grabbed one of their space heaters and brought it over. They work fast and it got too warm quickly. He returned and adjusted it perfectly. After the second half of our party arrived, we decided to move inside. Small indoor space, about four table and a long bench seat along the wall. But, since we were early, it was easy to pick one that worked for us. No paper menus, QR code only. LARGE portions, all cooked perfectly. We had a nice mix so each of us could try something different. The Ground Beef Kabobs - juicy and flavorful. The barg - excellent. Gyro plate meat was good but definitely needed the tzatziki sauce. LARGE portions of the rice and salad with each. Rice was fresh and flavorful, the salad was excellent (many of the other Mediterranean dressings are too tart, this one was great). The tomatoes disappeared quickly. We all had enough leftovers for another meal...or possibly two! We had a great time and, even though we knew it was a hookah lounge, didn't smell a thing other than our food. We were surprised when we were leaving that there were three guys in the up front / covered outdoor area, enjoying their hookahs and we never smelled a thing (this is a big deal for my wife as she can tell when they neighbors are cooking when they lite the stove!). In short, well, in long, it was much better than the initial walk up view would indicate, we definitely will return when in the area and if you are in the mood for some great Mediterranean food, give them a try. Enjoy!!!
I love the food and ambiance at this place. And the service is amazing - specially Pris! She's so nice and fast! She made our night.

Tustin's Barcode Lounge! Made fresh to order Mediterranean food with an upbeat indoor outdoor ambiance. Recommend trying the combo plate with both chicken kabob and beef koobideh. Been a customer for this location for several years, it has always been consistent. The barcode pizza is also a hit. The outdoor patio also has several tv's that are used for providing visual entertainment. This location is also known for being a great hookah lounge. All in all, a great option for tasty food accompanied with a relaxing but also upbeat lounge hangout ~
I recently moved to the area and I LOVE hookah so I had to find a local spot. I've visited Barcode The Lounge three times now and it's always a positive experience. Note: Most spots around here do not serve hard liquor AND hookah. Keep in mind they will only have wine and beer here. Food: 10/10 tbh - well seasoned, unique menu, balanced flavors and good portions for the price point. The lunch specials start at $10. Hookah: 10/10 - good price point and large flavor selection. They also use cubed charcoal for a better smoking experience. Some people say the price is high but I lived in Atlanta so it's comparable in my opinion. Service: 10/10 - they're attentive, knowledgeable and kind. As a single woman, I visit on lunch sometimes and am able to go to the restroom while the staff ensures my belongings are safe. Ambiance: 10/10 good patio and indoor seating. Beautiful tunes. It's just a great place to be!
So far everything that I've eaten here has been amazing! It was so good that I came back within one week again for the exact same foods. Koobideh wrap was wonderful and filling. I was even able to save my second Koobideh wrap for the next day. Delicious white sauce for my Koobideh wrap. Good amount of salad with delicious house dressing. My large basket of Sweet potato fries were nice and crispy. Chicken Shawarma was thoroughly marinated and juicy. The chicken Shawarma skewer plate came with a large amount of rice and salad. Lots of chicken on that one skewer. Excellent vegetarian (likely vegan ) grape leaves. The great leaves were not soggy and were not tough. Not too sour. On top of the yummy food, the waitress was friendly.
