“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Amazing Mediterranean Food with Heartfelt Service!

Mr. Shawarma Pacific Beach is an absolute gem for Mediterranean cuisine! I had the pleasure of trying their Meat Shawarma, Chicken Chapolie Shawarma, and Mandi Chicken, and every bite was a delightful experience.

The presentation of the food was impeccable – vibrant, colorful, and beautifully arranged. The Mandi Chicken, in particular, stood out with its rich golden hue, resting on a bed of fragrant rice, perfectly complemented by fresh lemon slices and mint. Each dish looked like it was crafted with attention to detail and love.

The tenderness of the meat was beyond expectations – the shawarma was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly spiced, while the Mandi Chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender, packed with aromatic flavors that transported me straight to the heart of the Mediterranean.

A huge shoutout to Zain and Zena , who made the experience even more memorable. Their warm and welcoming attitude added a personal touch that elevated the entire dining experience. They genuinely care about their customers and their passion for good food shows in every interaction.

If you’re looking for authentic, mouthwatering Mediterranean dishes made with love, Mr. Shawarma Pacific Beach is the place to go. I can’t wait to come back for more!“

“The best restaurant so far in San Diego!!! The food is amazing and you get a big portion!!!“

“The Paneer Biryani was an absolute delight. The fragrant blend of spices and the perfectly cooked paneer made each bite a burst of flavor. The rice was fluffy, and the paneer was tender and generously portioned. The balance of spices was just right, providing a wonderful depth of flavor without overwhelming the palate.“

“Everything we had for dinner was delicious. The hummus was creamy. The baba ganush was out of this world. The combo grilled chicken, shrimp was enough for 2 people. The service was exceptional. I highly recommend Sadaf.“

“Awesome sandwiches and service!! We had Ike’s cater a tray of sandwiches for a co-worker’s retirement and they were a big hit! And the manager was super friendly and service was fast. Wish I had taken a photo of the nice tray they quickly put together but we were so hungry and quickly ate all the sandwiches. Everyone loved the fun names of the sandwiches too. I highly recommend!!“

“Great conversation with the owner here today about how this style of food benefits our bodies and being a healthy option to cook at home. Very personable and relatable! I will be back“

“The Pistachio Latte was awsome and the cakes are great. Great new place.“

“The men that work there are super friendly and provide great customer service. The bread of the pizza is crispy and fluffy at the same time. The toppings are generous. However, i didn’t have sauce to give it the flavor you’re looking for. Everyone recommends the butter paneer which was good but the curry chicken has that hint of heat and Indian curry that makes it more unique. It was good but not great enough for me to go back which I am bummed about. Definitely try it as more sauce for me may be a personal preference“

“The server was the only one working but she got our order out fast and was so nice. The food was absolutely delicious.“

“Everything about this place is amazing!!! Authentic Pakistani food, great clean ambiance, and super friendly staff!! Must try their beef haleem and seekh kebabs!!“

“Bold flavors that took us pleasantly by surprise. We’ll be going back.“

“Excellent service, amazing and delicious food. Highly recommended!“

“The food was delicious and lived up to all the reviews I had read and why I chose to dine here. We tried many of the dishes and everything was superb, however the server we were given, did not feel welcoming and even when I expressed I had never been here before and this was only my second time having Mediterranean food, I guess I had hoped for something more. i saw others servers more engaged with their customers, however ours made us feel like we were not worth her time. I would have loved the experience more with a more enthusiastic server. Maybe she as having an off day. I’m not sure, but the energy she was putting off was uncomfortable and at times she just seemed rude. We probably should have just asked to be moved to a different section, since her demeanor was immediately off putting when she first came to the table. However her attitude and demeanor did not negate the deliciousness of the food however it did cost her a more generous tip that I would have loved to have given her. Just want others to be aware.“

“The food was just great. Choice of spicy-ness offered; the portion is filling. The ambience was just as great: calm music, nice decorations, and clean. And the service was also awesome: personable, fr“

“Exceptional Experience for our new borns celebration of 80 guests by Javid and his employees. Javid is one of the kindest, most welcoming, and extremely professsional owner I have ever got a pleasure to work with. Our sons event that took place in early November was a success. starting from the arragnements of the place, to delicious appetizers, leading to the main course, to all the way desserts and fruits. Javid and his team did an exceptionally well job in making our event a memorable one. Both servers that were assigned to us were the most amazing DUO you could have ever asked for. Knowing how much tea our people drink and how demanding our guests can be. EVERYTHING was taken care of very well without even asking all tasks were performed simultaneously. Javid thank you so much for all your hospitality and to SUFI's amazing team work. I am not doing any of our future events anywhere else but here at SUFI MEDITERRANEAN CUSINE. THIS PLACE IS AWESOME.“

“Good lunch buffet with balanced options for both veg and non-veg. Wide food spread with chana puri, idlis, paneer, chicken, lamb naan etc. etc. A couple of yummy desserts. Slightly on the milder side but pickle helps bridge that gap. Atmosphere can be made more lively. They do include hot Indian tea.“

“The best there is! No doubt my favorite in the world.“

“I know nothing about the seating arrangements, pricing (high or low…I’m from out of town, and door dashed). All I know is the food I ordered chicken samosa, veggie samosa, chicken biryani, garlic naan and tikka masala (spicy with chicken) is some of the best Indian food that I’ve had on this side of the world. Highly recommend!“

“The interior was gorgeous, which was expected. The servers were also decently attentive. However, my family ordered the appetizer and entree platters and agreed there is better Mediterranean/Persian food in San Diego that is far less expensive. While the food was not bad by any means, this place might be better as a bar experience with great ambiance. Otherwise, not sure it was worth the month wait.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options were available.“

“This Place is a hidden gem. Walking home and saw the recently opened "THE KABOB GRILL". I went in for an exquisite dinner. I had the chicken kabob- with my discount it was less than $15 for a full plate or rice, salad, yogurt and a pita. The plate comes with a grilled tomato and I requested some of their hot sauce. You should too! There is a big parking lot across the street and I was told they offer free valet.“
