★★★★★ 5.0 Natasha M. Ramay · Mar 2026

I came here on a friend’s recommendation after checking out the ratings, and I’m so glad I did. The entrance was simple, with a temporary name board, so I wasn’t sure what to expect—but the moment I walked into Cloud Naan – Urban Desi BBQ, I was pleasantly surprised. The interior was beautifully and colorfully decorated with traditional Pakistani truck art. I absolutely loved the vibrant truck-inspired decor—the channaks, umbrellas, and the little boards featuring fun, classic quotes you’d typically see on the back of trucks. It truly felt authentic and full of character. We ordered the butter chicken and Lahori fish. While we were waiting to break our fast, the staff kindly offered complimentary samosas and dates, which was such a thoughtful and heartwarming gesture. The food took a litt

It's like stepping into a restaurant in lahore. Not just the food, the ambiance and the service is impeccable. Very generous and courteous The place is clean and there is plenty of parking. Food is halal, wholesome, clean and delicious We got the Lahori fish, biriyani , Chaplin kabab and naan. Every single item was precariously prepared and as authentic to Pakistani cuisine as can be. Biriyani is currently the best you can get in OC. Lahori fish reminded me of Darulmahi. chapli kabab reminded me of cavalry ground phaatak.

Big on checking-out new & local businesses, so I pulled-up to Cloud Desi BBQ near my gym. Upon entry, you will be greeted by a very-welcoming gentlemen called Malik, and some snacks/coffee while waiting for your food (dining-in). I ordered the butter chicken which was absolutely delicious, and the naan bread was some of the best that I've had (soft/moist/fluffy), since most naan's out there are pretty dry/crusty/flaky. The interior is also really decorative and clean, which you won't find in most other similar places. I look forward to going back and trying other menu items.

★★★★★ 5.0 Tara malik ca · Dec 2025

Just had the incredible pleasure of visiting Cloud Naan Urban Desi BBQ at their soft opening in Santa Ana. We ordered the Namkeen Ghost, Chicken Karahi, Chapli Kabab, and Tandoori Roti—every dish was fantastic and tasted authentically Pakistani. The real star was the Karak Chai; it was an absolute hook! Can't wait to go back. Highly recommend.

★★★★★ 5.0 Blue Lake · Jan 2026

A fresh air! Great food especially Lahori Fish, Chicken Quarters. Serving sizes were good. But the Starlight was Paratha Beef Kabab Roll. It was so good and takes you back home! Ambience is v nice; sorta Cozy but pretty lil Dhaaba. Mr. Anjum was simply amazing w incredible down to earth Hospitality.
