The new Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill, a Denver-based fast casual restaurant featuring fresh and healthy Mediterranean cuisine, will celebrate its second west coast location in Orange County on Saturday at Woodbury Town Center in Irvine. (The first OC location opened last month in Aliso Viejo.)
At the grand opening from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., guests will enjoy a face painter and entertainment, and can win free Garbanzo menu items and other prizes, including t-shirts, caps and $10 gift cards.
Garbanzo offers made-from-scratch, authentic Mediterranean menu items with an emphasis on flavor, freshness and quality, as well as a healthy trans-fat free menu. Guests can customize every meal with items such as pita, laffa, falafel, shwarma, hummus, seasoned rice, sauces and dressings. All Garbanzo salads and sauces are prepared on-site daily, and the pita are made from fresh from scratch throughout the day at each restaurant.
There are several vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options available too. Some ingredients are bought locally and some are imported directly from the Mediterranean region. Next locations are planned for Lake Forest, Mission Viejo and Fullerton.
Open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
Garbanzo is at Woodbury Town Center at 6278 Irvine Blvd., at Sand Canyon Blvd., in Irvine.
And also at 26541 Aliso Creek Rd. in Aliso Viejo.
