23 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Escondido

“My favorite place for middle eastern cuisine in North county. Generous portions and delicious food. A good value for the price. I always get 2 -3 meals out of my order. Bread no longer comes with meals but fair enough. Their prices are still very reasonable for the quality and quantity“

“Good quality meat! The chicken kebabs are amazing. Tender chicken and seasoned well. The green sauce is super good. I would not eat it if it did not have that sauce.
It is a healthy choice for lunch. It’s a little on the pricey side. It is a fresh meal. You feel good after you eat it. The staff is nice and helpful. The vibe is fun, but relaxing. Clean place. I recommend it if you’re in the area and looking for healthy alternative for lunch. I will definitely be back. Thank you 🙏“

“This is the only place to eat in the mall. It’s healthy, Whole Foods, no processed food. And it’s tasty. I get the pioneer plate with chicken, beef and Gyro, and add rice or not depending on my health goals. Anyway, if you care about your self and loved ones, stay away from the other places here and get Pioneer! Also I love I can run through the field and park to get there. Great spot!“

“Came here for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. It was empty, but after having the food, I’m a bit confused as to why. The food was delicious. Everything in the photo was fresh and the presentation resembles how much the owner cares about serving an experience.

The chicken was juicy and tender. The kabob could have been a little bit more moist but overall it was still very flavorful. In his defense, I struck up a serious conversation with him as he was making my order on the topic of the economy and how hard it is right now for small businesses. That said I will be back to spend my dollar here easily.

I pray that more people come to support this small business! I’m considering ordering a larger quantity of food to share my experience with my clients I market to.

Instead of the fast food around this area, hands down I feel more satisfied with my decision to dine in here. Truly grateful for fresh and healthy options. I highly recommend this spot!“

“The quality of their chicken and Greek dishes is absolutely phenomenal. It is a small unassuming location and the menu may look dated but don't be fooled, this place is excellent. Any time a place serves a high volume of returning locals that should tell you something. Truly, the food quality is top tier.“

“Never had a bad meal. Food is a healthy option when compared to other restaurants/options. Server was helpful and delightful. However she appeared to be serving across entire restaurant so service could not realistically be considered good. Inspite of service, food was great.“

“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“

“excelente servicio y súper ricos los platillos“

“I had a great experience at CAVA, and I especially want to recognize Michael for his excellent customer service. He was friendly, welcoming, patient, and genuinely made me feel valued as a customer. Michael went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of and that my experience was a positive one. You can tell he takes pride in his work and cares about the customers he serves. The rest of the CAVA team was great as well, but Michael really stood out. Definitely appreciate the great service and will be coming back!“

“My family just had dinner at this lovely hidden gem in RB and everything we ordered was fresh and absolutely delicious. We not only enjoyed our food but also the cute outdoor patio. George (the owner) is friendly and engaging…..it was a perfect night out!“

“I come here on Fridays it’s close to my work. I appreciate the order yourself and cashier ordering, sometimes it gets busy. Food is always fresh and it’s clean. I get the SD wrap and my favorite sauce is the classic garlic!“

“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!“

“Because of COVID, there's only takeout but we loved our dinner! I'm so glad they opened in RB!“

“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!“

“Thanks for feeding a weary traveller on the way back to the hotel, even though it was closing time. The gyros plate, grilled veggies, and salad were the best I've had in a long time, and you were all delightful for the few minutes we spent talking while waiting to get my order.“

“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.“

“Service was very slow, especially at the start. It took a long time for our server to visit for the second time to take our drink and food orders. Breakfast scramble was smaller than I thought it would be, and quality of food was below average for what I'm used to here.“
