“We had a group of ten gals for a book club get together. We were able to sit outside where it is quiet and we could discuss the book easily. Our server was so attentive with both our drink and dinner orders. The bar menu had something for everyone. Was a fabulous night thanks to the staff at Bar Traza.“

“This is definitely an amazing place to get some delicious and healthy food from. As my first time eating here I got nothing to say but good things. The food was delicious and was taken to my table very quickly. The staff at the front was very friendly and patient, they took the time to explain the menu to me which was very helpful. I will sure make this a regular place to get food from since the food and the atmosphere here are great.“

“Shaks came recommended to us by our wedding photographer. Upon finding out they were Armenian Lebanese (same as my family!), we knew we would book with them. As we lived out of the country, our parents went to the menu tasting and had the time of their lives. They came back raving about the place and said we have to book. Totally didn't understand the assignment of narrowing down the menu items we should have on the big day, lol. but that's a testament to how good the food is (especially the fresh falafel). Andrew was so helpful on calls, as he is very busy and emails weren't the best method of communication, and answered all of our questions, worked within our parameters and with a ton of integrity. The team was a delight on the day of and worked their tails off in the kitchen with a smile and in front of the guests. The food was a hit with the guest and I am still thinking about the garlic that I'm sure I smelled like on the wedding night because I just couldn't get enough, lol. The leftovers were awesome to have and to share with guests, too. We will be visiting Shak's when we're in the area as a nostalgia trip!!“

“Meat is good. Wrap is good. The sandwich needs to be served on a real, in-store baked pita bread. And they need to give away their t-shirt if you spend over $20. ;-)“

“We popped in for a quick dinner and it was delicious and big portions! I had the chicken swarma plate and the veggies were perfect the sauce was so good! Can’t wait to go back!“

“my #1 Oceanside healthy meals“

“Great service too! My mouth watered the entire time and was completely satiated and beyond happy with all that we ate! New menu apparently, but I gotta get back before they change it again!“

“Just ate at the Great Greek on Rancho Del Oro Rd in Oceanside. Food and service were excellent. Very clean place! I had the Salmon salad. Salmon was cooked perfectly. The lettuce pieces were too big, but fresh, and there was hardly any dressing on the salad. The tzatziki, as someone else mentioned, was odd, being thicker than typical. But, all was very good. They should soon have their liquor license and outdoor seating. We're going back for sure as we want to explore the menu. Highly recommended!“

“Out of all the great fast casual restaurants I will never eat at them again after trying Cava. Cava is miles above any fast casual chain. It’s eco friendly, healthy, cool and above all TASTY. If you’re nearby go in it could be the best decision of your life.“

“Flavorful food served fast! Definitely coming back here :)“

“Good customer service and great food!!!“
