Delicious food. Wonderful service. The best part that didn't charge extra for sauce. Enough parking. Enough varieties for Vegetarians also. Staff was very friendly. We would definitely recommend to give them a visit

Staff was super friendly. There’s plenty of seats inside and outside. I just got a Greek salad with the fries and the garlic paste and it was perfect. The salad was very hearty. And the garlic paste on the fries tasted really good. My friend got meat and pita bread and that was also really good.

I was in the mood for middle eastern food. So, I decided to try Crave.

I ordered a beef kebab plate, beef shawarma wrap and beef shawarma plate.

The food came out hot, I told them to pack it to go.

The beef shawarma was extremely tender, juicy and full of flavor. The shawarma plate came with yellow rice. The rice was really good as well.

I highly recommend this place!!

I can’t stop raving about the experience! The star of the show was their signature Creek Salad with shawarma, which was an absolute masterpiece. The salad was a vibrant mix of crisp spring greens, juicy tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, sharp red onions, and buttery Picholine olives, all elevated by a perfectly balanced lemon that tied everything together with a tangy, herbaceous kick. Making every bite feel fresh yet indulgent.
The shawarma, oh my goodness, was next-level! Tender, perfectly spiced, and grilled to juicy perfection, it brought a warm, savory depth to the salad that made it a full-on meal. You could taste the care in every layer—each ingredient was fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and bursting with Mediterranean flavors. It’s rare to find a dish that feels so healthy yet so satisfying, but Earning Creek nailed it.

We love Crave! Really nice staff, and the food is great. Extra garlic sauce is free (and delicious). Inside and outside seating. It’s a staple for us :)

I feel bad for not visiting Crave sooner. My mistake. The woman working at the counter was very friendly. Although we didn't have any questions, I noted that she was very helpful to a couple that came in after us as they had a few questions. I got the Gyros Wrap and my wife got the Chicken Shawarma Wrap. Both were excellent. The light grill on the wrap keeps everything together and added a good texture. There was plenty of meat in both. I got the combo with fries and it was more than enough food. I noted that the grill on the wrap would be perfect if you got them to go. They would stay crisp and not get soggy from being wrapped up. Of course, there are a ton of restaurants with this type of food in East county, but if you want good food, friendly service, decent prices and a clean restaurant you need to give this place a chance. Rancho seems to be losing a lot of businesses these days so please support local businesses.

I decided to try this place on a whim after walking by a few days ago, and I’m so glad I did! The customer service was excellent—the gentleman who helped me was incredibly kind and genuinely happy to answer any questions. I ordered the chicken tikka plate, and the food was absolutely delicious! I only wish the prices were a bit more affordable, because I’d love to come by every week. Highly recommend to anyone looking to try Mediterranean cuisine!

Food is tasty and the rice doesn't have vermicelli in it which is great. I ordered the shawarma chicken and chicken tikka. Nicely prepared dishes.
