The staff was friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent customer service. The restaurant was clean and had a comfortable atmosphere. I highly recommend Luna Grill to anyone looking for delicious Mediterranean food, and I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“The rice bowl is a few dollars more than similar places, but it’s totally worth it in my opinion. All of the vegetables were fresh and flavorful. Everything blended together perfectly. The falafel was light and crispy. Tahini is one of those businesses you’re happy to support“

“Believe them when they say they offer large portions! Every salad option and specialty plate is easily shareable and very fresh and delicious. We dined in and took home considerably more than ate during our visit. Looking forward to trying other menu items and having leftovers for days!“

“The food was great! The restaurant seems to always get packed during the lunch rush and I can see why! Healthy options for everyone! Alex was super helpful in explaining all the items so as to help me create my bowl. THANK YOU GUYS FOR THE GREAT FOOD AND SERVICE!“

“Delicious and can have healthy and/or indulgent selections“

“One of the best spots in the area for Mediterranean food. We stumbled upon this place last year and enjoyed it so much that we came back again this year.

For the price, the quality and portion sizes make it well worth a visit. Unlike most Mediterranean restaurants that serve everything on a standard platter, the food here is beautifully presented on a long wooden board, making it perfect for sharing.

The Family Plate, which is advertised for 3–5 people, is realistically enough for about 3–4 adults, depending on everyone’s appetite. The Trio Platter is a must-order—the hummus, muhammara, and baba ganoush are all excellent. Just be careful not to fill up on the appetizers before the main course arrives.

Their wine selection is also very good. The meats were flavorful, although ours were slightly overcooked this visit. The chicken, however, had a nice crispy exterior and was delicious. The rice has a unique, light flavor that’s really enjoyable, but you may want to order an extra side since the portion that comes with the meal goes quickly. The falafel was ok, the lentil soup was good and light.

Overall, it’s a great place to bring family or friends, or simply enjoy a healthy meal before or after a beach day. It can get busy depending on the time, so expect a bit of a wait during peak hours.

The only downside is that the service can be hit or miss, as they often seem a little short-staffed. Thankfully, the quality of the food more than makes up for it.“

“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!“

“I've been a loyal customer for years now and sincerely enjoy the bowls. You can customize the contents of the bowl to your liking and the sauces are made in-house. It's a healthy food option that rivals the finest out there in taste and quality. I recommend you try it.“

“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“

“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.“

“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 😋!!!“

“Delicious döner wraps and amazing baklava.“

“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.“

“Best service every time I come in! The whole crew is very friendly and helpful. So much that Last time Irma helped me out she was kind enough to let me have her meal for the day that they provide employees. I had already ordered my food and was ready to pay and realized they were no longer excepting cash only card and I had only cash on me so she said it's okay. and allowed me to take my food.🙏🏽 wow it's hard to find nice people doing nice things nowadays. the fact that she did that made my day. thank you Irma‼🙏🏽“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Fantastic new place in town. Just went by tonight and got some of everything to try it all out. Fantastic food with great flavor, excellent service too! I was sad when Skewers went away, loved that place but Tiko Tiko is definitely a worthy replacement! I will definitely be back soon!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Amazing venue and staff! 5 stars!“

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

“We were looking for a nice non-American place to have lunch and found Spiro — and we were so pleasantly surprised! The location is absolutely beautiful, almost right by the ocean, with an unforgettable view. The food was delicious, everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and we didn’t have to wait long at all. We really enjoyed the Mediterranean and Greek-style dishes. Great food, beautiful atmosphere, and an amazing view — definitely a place we would come back to!“

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

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

“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 “

“Amazing food with lot of healthy options“

“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.“

“Delicious food. But I came here to write about the customer service: I appreciate that the employee was willing to fix my froyo. I paid extra to add Dubai chocolate… $12 is a lot for froyo and he gave me half the normal portion 🥺 I was afraid to ask, but he was cool about it and gave me a better portion. Thats it 👍“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“
