13 Best Greek Restaurants near Escondido

“Chicken Plus will always have a special place in my heart. I still remember when my dad used to take me here back in elementary school — it was our go-to spot for a delicious meal and some quality time together. Every visit was a treat, and even now, all these years later, I keep coming back.

The food is just as incredible as I remember — always fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. But what really sets Chicken Plus apart is the heart behind it. Syd, the owner, is truly one of a kind. Every time I walk through the doors, I look forward to seeing him. He greets everyone like family and makes you feel genuinely welcome. It’s rare to find a place where the food and the people are equally amazing, but Chicken Plus nails it every time.

If you haven’t been here yet, you’re seriously missing out. Thank you, Syd, for all the memories and for continuing to make Chicken Plus the special place it is!“

“I bought 1 gyro, $7.99, a combination plate, $14.99, which comes packed with rice, salad, gyro meat and a kabob, and 1 pita bread, $.99. The price was more than fair for the amount of food we got. The food tasted fantastic, besides the fact that it fed my wife, and four daughters. They all raved about it. If you appreciate Mediterranean food, this place is great!“

“Awesome spot for good food. The portions are big, the food is tasty, and the people are really friendly. What more could you want from a great local spot for quick, delicious food. This is a pic of the lamb gyro. It’s massive. Fork for reference. The meat was cooked and cut perfectly, veggies are fresh, everything was fantastic.“

“Small neighborhood Greek restaurant serving delicious food in generous portions.

They cooked their foods right. The chick has golden crispy skin and tasty meat. Their hamburger patty was very large and comes with plenty of fresh lettuce and tomato slices.“

“Tried this spot for the first time and the gyro was amazing. I grew up in Greek Town in Toronto, so I know good Greek food when I taste it - this was authentic and delicious. Even though I live ~30 minutes away, I’ll definitely be coming back. 100% worth the drive!“

“They have the best pita gyro I have had. They make their own marinade for their chicken and salad dressing which are both so good. Hope they will open in Temecula!“

“One of the best burger I’ve ever had. Deep fried zucchini is to die for. Onion rings were real onions. There were 6 of us, we shared each other sides. They have really big portions, we took leftovers home. Only problem I have is I live in NV so can only go when I visit my daughter, or we take a beach weekend.“

“My company catered Pita's for a staff meeting and everyone loved how delicious and fresh everything was!! Tonight I had to go back to introduce my husband and best friend, we were not disappointed! The lamb sandwich was delicious and filling, falafel was soft and flavorful inside, perfectly crunchy on the outside, hummus is super creamy and wonderful and the salads were crisp and tasty!! The restaurant is very clean and the staff was friendly and helpful with menu questions. We're all full and excited to go back to try more of their menu.“
