“I first tried Panini Kabob Grill through work, and I was hooked. The tofu is incredibly yummy. It is very citrus forward, which I love. I usually order the kabob plate, which comes with brown rice (the only vegan rice), avocado salad, tofu, and grilled vegetables. It is fairly inexpensive and very filling for the price. I have since taken friends, and they also enjoy both the food and the value. I believe there are other vegan options, but honestly I have no idea because I like the tofu so much that I will probably never order anything else. Updated from previous review on 2025-12-11“

“Exceptional Experience for our new borns celebration of 80 guests by Javid and his employees. Javid is one of the kindest, most welcoming, and extremely professsional owner I have ever got a pleasure to work with. Our sons event that took place in early November was a success. starting from the arragnements of the place, to delicious appetizers, leading to the main course, to all the way desserts and fruits. Javid and his team did an exceptionally well job in making our event a memorable one. Both servers that were assigned to us were the most amazing DUO you could have ever asked for. Knowing how much tea our people drink and how demanding our guests can be. EVERYTHING was taken care of very well without even asking all tasks were performed simultaneously. Javid thank you so much for all your hospitality and to SUFI's amazing team work. I am not doing any of our future events anywhere else but here at SUFI MEDITERRANEAN CUSINE. THIS PLACE IS AWESOME.“

“Marketplace Grille is an absolute standout in La Jolla Village!

From the moment you walk in, you can tell this is a hands-on, heart-driven business. Owners Tony and Camilla are truly involved, and it shows in both the exceptional service and the consistently high-quality food.

Their Mediterranean cuisine is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared — perfect for a quick meal or feeding a crowd. And if you’re looking for catering, they offer some of the most reasonable pricing around without ever cutting corners on taste or presentation.

Reliable, delicious, and welcoming every time — Marketplace Grille is a must-try and a go-to for events!“

“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.“

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