“This is my first time visiting this family owned and operated family restaurant and it was an amazing experience. We were greeted by Pierre and he was professional, kind, and very informative of all the items on the menu. Everything on the menu looked great and hard to decide what to dive into. The restaurant is very clean open and very bright. I ordered the liver skewers with biryani rice. The skewers very flavorful, tender, and grilled to perfection, paired well with the onion, pickled beets, and pickles. The biryani was delicious. My wife had the beef shawarma sandwich on Arabic bread, which was tender and tasty. The potions are larger than expected which was great! We finished with a cup of hot tea. If you’re looking for some authentic Iraqi food, I highly recommend Al Awael, you will not be disappointed 😋”

“This place is under-rated, even if it's rated a 4.0 & higher. The attitudes and interactions with the employees is top notch, like a 5 star restaurant, they're always smiling and taking orders with a passion!! 1 day I drove by it in the middle of the week, after work around midnight, I noticed it had a decent sized line and was thinking I'll check it out. When 1st driving up it reminds you of the old school Taco place, with the menu posted on the walls, it has a little of grungy look, but for the most part everyone outside and around it do not bother you. I ordered at drive-thru a Cabeza quesadilla, Adobada fries & Texas Burrito, when I received my order, it was heavy and I was thinking maybe I got the wrong order or they may have put something extra besides the condiments in the bag. I got home opened it up and to my surprise, there was some heavy portions!! The price of the food is pretty much the same as other local shops, however the portion size was crasy!! I've ordered on a few other occasions since my 1st visit and the portion sizes are consistent, with lots of meat, veggies, sauce and extras, so now I know each time what to expect, as well as 1 meal may take me 2-4 days to finish!! There's a drive up window, a walk up window, a few tables for outdoor seating, no indoor seating and maybe parking depending on the time of day you go there. Mind you I'm a 300 pound man and I'm still having to save some of my food for my next meal!!”

“This restaurant felt like you were sitting down for dinner at a friend’s Abuela’s house warm, welcoming, and full of amazing homemade flavor. The Molcajete Special was absolutely incredible, packed with flavor and more than enough food to leave you full and happy. The red enchilada sauce had the perfect savory flavor with just a hint of sweetness that made it unforgettable.

Javy was one of the most pleasant servers we’ve had in a long time and took such great care of us throughout the meal. Highly recommend stopping in for a meal if you’re looking for authentic food and a welcoming atmosphere!”

Viewpoint Kitchen + Bar 5442 Sycuan Rd, El Cajon American • $$

“Located inside Sycuan Casino, this is such a great spot to sit down, relax, and enjoy a meal. One of the best parts about this place is the beautiful view overlooking the Sycuan pool and surrounding mountains—it really adds to the whole experience.

The menu has something for everyone, including all-day breakfast (which I love) along with a variety of other delicious options. It’s become a go-to spot for my family and me whenever we’re celebrating a birthday or any special occasion.

If you come for dinner, don’t skip the bread—they serve it warm and it’s so good. Some of my favorite dishes here are the calamari, salmon, pasta, and honestly, you can’t go wrong with their breakfast either.

Definitely a place worth checking out if you’re at Sycuan and looking for a great meal with a view.”

Everything’s made fresh, and most meals won’t break the $15 mark. The star of the menu? Rotisserie chicken that’s marinated in lemon, garlic, and herbs, then slow-roasted until it practically falls apart. And if you’re short on time, their takeout game is strong. Cravings satisfied!”

We were greeted by Pierre and he was professional, kind, and very informative of all the items on the menu. Everything on the menu looked great and hard to decide what to dive into. The restaurant is very clean open and very bright. I ordered the liver skewers with biryani rice. The skewers very flavorful, tender, and grilled to perfection, paired well with the onion, pickled beets, and pickles. The biryani was delicious. My wife had the beef shawarma sandwich on Arabic bread, which was tender and tasty. The potions are larger than expected which was great! We finished with a cup of hot tea. If you’re looking for some authentic Iraqi food, I highly recommend Al Awael, you will not be disappointed 😋”

It was very hard for me to get back on my feet but after finding this bread it felt quite a bit easier. I know for a fact that this product is celiac safe and will be delicious every time. It is so beyond delicious that even my own self critique was ignored to enjoy their sourdough baguettes. The ingredients are top notch and leave me feeling amazing!
I know my case is uncommon from most, but i truly love this brand and everything they have to offer. Maruka and her family are all wonderful people who have showed me nothing but kindness since i first started buying from them. At this point it’s far beyond a small business to me and something i genuinely love supporting and will continue to do so.”
