19 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Escondido

“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!“

“First time eating here. We stopped by the area to supercharging station and was getting hungry. Found this restaurant and did not regret. Generous portion, great food and friendly service. There was a wait because it was super busy but worth it. Will be coming back again“

“Great food. I got the beef wrap and it was made with love. Come support this spot. It’s real Persian food. I didn’t expect to come into this spot but I’m so happy I did. Great service I taken care of the owners who was very kind. Come support them it’s hard owning a small business. Go here instead of kebab shop“

“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!“

“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!“

“The food was great! The restaurant seems to always get packed during the lunch rush and I can see why! Healthy options for everyone! Alex was super helpful in explaining all the items so as to help me create my bowl. THANK YOU GUYS FOR THE GREAT FOOD AND SERVICE!“

“It was very delicious very tasty & big portions! The service was alright it seemed like I was inconveniencing the young man at the counter by ordering lol *everyone has their days)😅 However it wasn't rude & it wasn't great either. However, the highlight of my trip was the food! It's very fresh & very tasty! The portions were very generous I was satisfied and had more left over! They are generous with their sauce station! And they all add great flavor! The restaurant was spotless & very chill to hang out in while I ate and took my time! I'll be back“

“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.“

“So flavorful and filling!!“

“We were guests at the Rancho Bernardo Inn- as my mom surprised me for my 35th birthday! We spent the most magical day at the spa, and when it came time for dinner, we knew where we wanted to go! Unfortunately my mom did not set a reservation for outside, as when she was booking, she was told it wasn’t necessary (however, book a reservation!)- it was popular that evening, with live music on the patio (beautiful!). We went to the hostess stand, pretty confident there would not be anyway to be seated, my mom mentioned that it was my birthday- and Evan, who was at the front, made magic happen! He was able to find us a cushion seating area by the fire, and recommended drinks, the best apps and food. The entire dinner he continued to check on us making sure we were OK and truly gave us the best recommendations! \n\nThe whole meal from start to finish was delicious and ended perfectly with a beautiful surprise dessert. Evan, it was the perfect ending to the perfect day. Thank you so much for your warmth, care, and ability to make us have such a joyful birthday! We will absolutely be back.“

“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!“
