Stopped for lunch and had to order at a kiosk. I ordered a $17 salad bowl and then paid extra for “pita chips.” Besides the spring salad, my bowl came with zero veggies. The “pita chips” were basically just a tiny sprinkling of pita croutons. The whole thing was drowned in sauce.I’m a pass for this one. Too bad, because I usually love Mediterranean food.

Honestly my favorite place to eat at UCSD. The food is fresh and consistently great. The falafel is made in-house and fresh. The owner and staff are super friendly too. If I could eat here every day I would lol.Dietary restrictions: All the food/meat is Halal.
The food here is amazing and the staff are so kind and accommodating! Would absolutely recommend to a friend!

Some of the best shawarma, falafel, fried cheese and more. I love that they bake their own bread too!

If you like fresh, delicious food that is full of flavor...you just have to try this place! I love the pitas and the rice bowls. I frequent the Clairemont Mesa restaurant, and I am in love with their food. Like, think about it all the time kind of love.This is on the UCSD campus, so it's open Mon- Fri and outdoor seating only. I was happy to be close enough to get the food delivered. It traveled well and it was just as wonderful.Today I got a bowl with Rice + Steak + Sriracha Tahini + Garlic Sauce + Pickled Turnips + Pickled Cucumbers + Parsley Mix + Onions. I love how you can customize the bowl or pita and have so many possibilities. I never thought I would like pickled vegetables on a rice bowl, but wow is it good. I also love a Pita + Steak + Toasted Almonds + Parsley Mix + Cilantro Tahini. The chicken has been great too.Another new favorite is Fries on the pita! Yum. I got: Steak, Cilantro Tahini, Garlic Sauce, pickles, onions, shredded cheese. It was like a unique burger but better.I am such a sauce person, and their sauces make me so happy. Cilantro Tahini...who knew? I am also such a flavor person. You can certainly get this as plain as you want. But, I want to ramp up the flavor anywhere else. Here, it's like BAM. I seriously do the happy dance with every bite.I have gotten to know the owners from being at the other store. They are such excellent people with a passion for their food. It shows. And, I love supporting a business when I know they are good people. These boys are the best!Thanks for another delicious meal!

Great spot for quick Mediterranean food at UCSD. The service is fast and the food is delicious. I recommend building your own meal as there are plenty of options. My only gripe is that the restaurant itself is tiny but you can wait outside and they'll call your order on the speaker!

Came for dinner and the food was terrible! Cold, bland. Not worth the price. I would definitely not recommend this place! Would rather go to Pita 22 or Panini Kabob Grille in Del Mar.
Best middle eastern food in San Diego. Highly recommend.
