“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!“

“We had an amazing experience at this Mediterranean restaurant! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The kebabs were juicy, the hummus was incredibly creamy, and the pita bread tasted fresh and warm. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxing, and the staff were very friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Everything felt authentic and made with care. Definitely one of the best Mediterranean restaurants we’ve tried, and we will absolutely be coming back again. Highly recommended!“

“This is one of my all time favorite restaurants! All of the food is delicious! Service is very friendly. You leave feeling like family. Brought my grandson here when he was little and it’s where he chose to go on his birthday! Everyone I’ve ever brought here has loved it!“

“Where do I begin? From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with amazing customer service. The conversation while ordering felt so genuine and welcoming, and we even got to learn a little about the history of the restaurant and the story behind the business. It made the experience feel personal right from the start.

When the food came out, we were shocked by the portion sizes. Everything was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The meat was cooked to perfection, tender and packed with flavor. The pita and hummus were delicious, and every bite tasted fresh and homemade. For dessert, we tried the baklava and rice pudding—both were outstanding. The baklava was rich, sweet, and perfectly balanced, while the rice pudding was creamy, smooth, and absolutely delicious.

What really stood out was how welcomed and comfortable we felt. Between the amazing food, warm atmosphere, and exceptional service, this place truly felt like home.

We actually discovered this restaurant through a Groupon, and I’m so glad we did because it has quickly become our new favorite spot. I will definitely be bringing my friends and family here and recommending it to anyone I get the chance to. If you’re looking for authentic food, generous portions, and a place that genuinely cares about its customers, this is it!“

“really great food.super tasty chix,very large portions, love the side that come with plates. there are a few other places but they all dont compare to GCC“

“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.“
