BEWARE!!!! I just spent 30+ dollars for a meal to share with my family and I found HAIR on it. Seriously? Such a waste of money and time. Never coming back here. Worst part: I took my food to go and didn't see this HAIR in the food until I opened it. Double check your food before you leave the store! I wish I could get my money back or a gift card.

Very solid spot for lunch or takeout and not overly expensive! Lots of seating options inside as well as outside. Food is tasty. Service was quick and easy and we prefer this spot to Luna Grill if looking for Greek or Mediterranean.

Dry. Mexican tortilla? It's Greek ! No soft delicious pita bread? Staff is friendly but it's not good food. The Gyro was a Mexican tortilla!

My husband & I came in and loved being greeted and helped by Rory. It's hard to find young adults that care and have passion for work these days. Rory was awesome. Will be back. The foods awesome but good customer service stands out these days.

Healthy options, always super nice employees and fresh food. I always get the carved lamb flatbread wrap. It's really yummy, and HUGE. I usually have them cut it in half. The wrap has a lot of lettuce, but plenty of meat as well ... and with the spicy cilantro sauce smothered on top (yum!) it's amazing. I actually like that it's light - not super heavy with beans or too many cucumbers/tomatoes. I'm super full after 3/4 of it. Another thing: I love that you can grab your own sauce (which is house-made) and get as much as you want/need. My only negative - (and this is after visiting 3 times) It smells heavily of disinfectant/cleaner or something like that. I love that it's clean, but you can lose your appetite. It's too strong. At least there's a few tables just outside.

Delicious food - especially loved the chicken and falafel wraps. Their sauces are a must try - my personal favorite is the spicy cilantro sauce mixed with little of their garlic sauce. Very friendly staff and well maintained place. I probably visited the place 20+ times so far and will continue to do so...Vegetarian options: Falafel wrap

I ordered ahead for pickup, and the rep. was very nice and efficient on the phone. When I arrived, the cashier (that was the rep. that had previously answered the phone; his name is Gonzalo) was polite and efficient. I ordered a fountain Coke and discovered that the Coke syrup needed to be changed out. I’ve experienced that a lot over the years in various eateries, so not a big deal at all. I went to notify someone, and the first employee I saw ended up being Rory. I believe Rory is the head chef, as it sounded like may have been training, when he immediately noticed that I needed something. He was super accommodating and assured me that the syrup would be changed out quickly. He wasn’t kidding, as shortly after that, Gonzalo notified me that the Coke had been changed out and was all ready. I really appreciated how Rory saw that I needed something and handled it right away, even when he was busy with the food and with training. And how fast Gonzalo, handled changing out the syrup. And the Coke was perfect right away. Impressed with their service, I asked their names bc I wanted to recognize them specifically for their great work and service. (I own a business, and I easily spot great employees when I see them, and they both are great!)(And the food at TKS is always consistently great. I’m a residential contractor and depending on where I am for work, I’ll make it a point to stop in at the Encinitas, Rancho Bernardo and Carmel Mountain locations bc the quality of the food is so great.)

Great service and phenomenal food! We come here once a week and kids under 10 eat free on Saturday and Sundays.

I've been wanting to try this place for some time and I'm glad I did. Stopped by for lunch earlier today and ordered the plate (choose a protein and any 2 sides or salad) with the lamb beef, kale quinoa salad, and falafel. Order came out fairly quick. Upon placing my order, the cashier gave me an ETA of "7 mins" which I appreciated (other places don't do that, but they should start taking notes, HA!). The lamb beef was thin and seasoned perfectly. The falafel was a bit dry, but that's my only complaint. It wasn't too bad dipped in one of their sauces. Love that they have a sauce bar which has the garlic yogurt sauce, cilantro sauce, and chili sauce. I also ordered the Crave Fries for 50% off for checking in on Yelp; which was totally worth it for half off! The fries were PERFECT and crispy. It's not easy finding perfect fries like theirs. One of the employees offered me a water cup as I was dining. Great service. Will definitely be back.

The food here is great. I used to frequently go to their previous location before COVID and loved the flavors. However, I've been here five times already, and the last three times during dinner, we found the guy working at the counter very rude. At first, we thought he might have been having a bad day, but he's like this every time.He lacks a welcoming attitude and periodically stares at us. While we were eating, he began swiping dirt around us. Why couldn't he wait until people were done eating? Then we saw the same guy wiping the table and other dirty surface with a cloth, then swinging that all around the room. Then used the same cloth to wipe the trays on which they serve the food to customers.It’s just an awkward place to sit and eat because of the staff and the way they work there.Please train your staff on hospitality and customer service.

? Tried the San Diego wrap and it was a blast! The combination of French fries, meat, and veggies created a unique and enjoyable flavor. It's like having a kebab and a sandwich all in one. Definitely worth trying! The atmosphere was pleasant, and the restaurant was clean and not too crowded. Had a great time overall!

I'm embarrassed to say how often we order from TKS. In a pinch, this is the very BEST option-- fresh, made to order, fast but not fast food, so much flavor and healthy! The proteins are great, some of the best grilled chicken I've had, the saffron rice is wonderful and the topping options from feta to pickled onions, hummus to Greek salad are perfection! We have also ordered the catering from TKS and it's so nicely packaged. It comes with everything you need for a large group, and is always a hit! OMG, the garlic yogurt and spicy cilantro go with everything!

Great food, better customer service! Very clean atmosphere and very friendly. Will definitely be going back!

This place has generous portion sizes but their rice is cooked with dirty tap water-- it tastes very strongly chlorinated, almost inedible. The falafel and hummus is good though.
