“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!“

“We not only regularly eat here but often order catering. They are so incredibly lovely, the order is always on time and when you do order catering each item is in its own container, with labels. It is an excellent choice for multiple dietary restrictions your group may have to pick and choose what works best for everyone. Eat here! Order catering here!“

“The BEST BURGER EVER! The food is amazing. Anyone that wants a healthier diet but doesn't want to cut out the great tasting foods. Anytime you are in Vegas or San Diego, you must visit them“

“If you are walking around Prospect Street, I highly recommend Zoya! My husband and I stumbled across this restaurant while trying to satisfy two different cravings, and it did not disappoint.

I ordered a pizza, and coming from a family that owned a pizza shop, I can tell you that their fresh dough and sauce are top-tier. My husband ordered the chicken shawarma with truffle fries, and it is hands-down one of the best shawarmas in San Diego. They include pomegranate seeds in it—if you know, you know!

We also had an amazing appetizer that is an absolute must-try. The server Yousif was fantastic; the owner and staff made sure to check on our table throughout the meal.

They even treated us to a complimentary dessert made by a local French baker! We truly enjoyed this restaurant and will definitely be back.“

“CAVA has become one of my family’s favorite places to eat. Every time we’re nearby, my kids ask if we can stop here—and I completely understand why.

What I really like is the incredible variety. You can build your own meal exactly the way you want it. There are plenty of protein options, different kinds of rice, fresh vegetables, healthy toppings, sauces, and so many natural ingredients to choose from. Whether you’re looking for a high-protein meal, something vegetarian, or just a fresh, healthy lunch, there’s something for everyone.

They also have a great selection of drinks, and everything is served quickly without sacrificing quality. It’s one of the best places if you want a fast meal that still feels fresh and nutritious.

The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly, and the whole experience is easy and enjoyable.

If you’re looking for a healthy, delicious, and convenient place to eat, I highly recommend CAVA. Great food, excellent variety, fast service, and a place the whole family enjoys.“

“Great young generation owners are totally revamping this restaurant and making it best-in-class. I love the food, the presentation, the vibe and everything these young brothers are doing to make this restaurant a top-of-the-line Lebanese restaurant.“

“This place has excellent food and wine. Super cool staff. I’ve been before and we’ll be back again. Killer outdoor spot to eat also. I highly recommend it.“

“Definitely an interesting place to eat. Everyone really nice. Food was reasonably priced, but not very generous portions , service was slow but it was Yeshiva week!
I also would have appreciated if owner would have updated their website or Google maps to reflect that They would be closed on Martin Luther king day.“

“Delicious döner wraps and amazing baklava.“

“The best chicken shawarma I have tried in San Diego 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 very friendly staff in person and over the phone 📱 the rice is really good too and the sandwiches 😋!!!“

“Great food and wonderfully pleasant staff.“

“FOOD IS WONDERFUL AND TASTE AS SUPPOSED TO BE . I WOULD SAY THIS IS BEST PERSIAN RESTAURANT YOU CAN ENJOY THE FOOD . I AM VERY HAPPY THIS IS CLOSE TO MY HOME.“

“Delicious. Clean. Friendly. My favorite take out in Solana Beach.“

“Cava is amazing, but this location is really hit or miss. Sometimes, you will come here and be met with kindness, efficiency, and generous portions. Other times, you will be ignored as you stand in line, have your food spilled on the counter and then scooped up by hand and tossed back into your bowl (yes, that happened).“

“Good service, fresh and delicious food, and reasonable price Definitely will be back .“

“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. ;-)“

“I cannot stress enough how delicious everything was. I got the combo plate and ate until I was full and still had enough left over to take home for lunch the next day! I actually felt sad that my stomach wasn't bigger and I couldn't order more food. We sat outside and the atmosphere was amazing. Cannot recommend the lamb and chicken enough!“

“Thank so much to the owner of Marketplace Grille for buying me a wonderful dinner tonight at the Carmel location. Showed appreciation for sure towards someone who’s still apart of the essential workforce. Best Gyros outside of New Jersey you will ever find.“

“one of my favorite place. the food is so incredible. it's a must if your in Hillcrest. I've never been disappointed.“

“Amazing venue and staff! 5 stars!“

“We were walking around La Jolla when my kids spotted Spiro’s Mediterranean Cuisine and wanted to try it out, and I’m really glad we did! First of all, everyone here was extremely friendly and welcoming. The food was also really good — very flavorful and very fresh.

I tried the Steak Tacos, my daughter got the Fish and Chips, and my son got the Chicken Tenders and Fries. Everything came out delicious, and the portions were great too. It ended up being one of the highlights of our day in La Jolla. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Awesome service and delicious food! Excellent catering service !“

“Melvin and George provided great service!! The food was delicious!“

“Amazing food with lot of healthy options“

“If you want high quality delicious food at a bargain, come on in and get some skewers! The meat is so tender and juicy and spiced perfectly. I come regularly with my dog and they remember my order. Great food. Great people. Always happy to visit Marketplace “

“Happened to be leaving a game and I turned around and seen this place perfectly located next to Petco Park. When I went inside I was greeted warmly and I asked what the difference was between the regular gyro and the pork belly one. The guy said if I ordered the pork belly the way he makes extra crispy I would love it. Ever since I’ve been back about 3 more times plus I found them near my work in Mira Mesa so that’s four…I’m hooked 🥙“

“Super attentive service. From the Hostesses, wait staff to buss boys. Food is delectable. Entrees were well prepared, fresh ingredients, served hot & salads crisp. Highly recommended.“

“They put us in a windowless back room for Valentine's Day. Every couple in there looked super disappointed when they realized we were in a closed room (converted storage closet) next to the bathrooms. Also, I needed a steak knife to eat my chicken. The other items we ordered were drowning in chunks of raw garlic or syrupy sauce. Overall it was poor dining experience.“

“I would recommend this establishment they have great food great customer service“

“Great ambience. Great service. Great food. Came with a free bday treat. The only gripe is that I asked if they can replace the smoked salmon with chicken because, but they couldn't accommodate. So I ended up paying the smoked salmon price sandwich without the salmon and on top of that a $9 skewer so i can add protein to my sandwich. Wish they could have discounted the price somehow. I know better. But overall experience was great, and would go again.“

“One of my favorite spots in SD. It is a family owned and operated spot filled with great food and charisma. The owners and staff and incredibly friendly, and the food is made with lots of love. My personal favorites are the breakfast burrito with gyro and the gyro burger. Would recommend!“

“Delicious flavors in the family-size meal, which was impressively presented. Service was efficient and polite. Thank you, will come again!“

“I stop in every time I am in San Diego. Everything there is absolutely fantastic...especially the Spanish Cheesecake. It's a hidden gem well worth a visit.“

“Nice hidden gem in the middle ofan office park with several restaurants and a bar.

Lots of seating and fast casual food service.

There's lots of construction going on here so stay alert for available parking.“

“I attended the Holiday tea on 12/19 and it was one of the best Teas I have attended!
Ashley and Aaron waited on myself and my mother in law and they were fantastic!

I have a nut allergy and had mentioned it when I made the reservation months ago and they took me by surprise when they brought out a fully separate plate with all the items that they knew there fully nut free and did not mix with any of the pastries that had nuts in them.
It was such a nice touch and made the tea less stressful!

We plan to return to the Spring Tea as well!

The only “issue” was that as we enjoyed the table and food so much that we sipped our tea slowly and the tea did get cold after 1.5 hours since there was not anything to keep it warm.“
