“I've been a loyal customer for years now and sincerely enjoy the bowls. You can customize the contents of the bowl to your liking and the sauces are made in-house. It's a healthy food option that rivals the finest out there in taste and quality. I recommend you try it.“

“Just tried the falafel sandwich from Falafel California and it did not disappoint! The bread was perfectly grilled and crispy with a nice toasted flavor, wrapped tight and packed with flavor. It came with three different sauces (garlic, spicy red, and a mild white sauce) — each one added something different and paired really well with the sandwich.

Everything was neat and well packaged too. Great quality for the price. Will definitely be ordering again and highly recommend it to anyone in the area.“

“This is my first time visiting this family owned and operated family restaurant and it was an amazing experience. We were greeted by Pierre and he was professional, kind, and very informative of all the items on the menu. Everything on the menu looked great and hard to decide what to dive into. The restaurant is very clean open and very bright. I ordered the liver skewers with biryani rice. The skewers very flavorful, tender, and grilled to perfection, paired well with the onion, pickled beets, and pickles. The biryani was delicious. My wife had the beef shawarma sandwich on Arabic bread, which was tender and tasty. The potions are larger than expected which was great! We finished with a cup of hot tea. If you’re looking for some authentic Iraqi food, I highly recommend Al Awael, you will not be disappointed 😋“

“Awesome food...my first time ..i will be Back“

“I love this place! I had the falafel wrap and a watermelon lemonade. The wrap was so flavorful, with multiple spices and textures. Delicious! And the watermelon lemonade was great, too. I highly recommend Falafel Heights!“

“Tried out the Temecula location today and I was amazing. Nice to see an owner owed and occupied business in Old Town. Excellent food and service. Highly recommend!“

“We have ordered Kebabs before here, we recently ordered a meal kit that was all rice and hardly any meat, I mean it was a joke, its a $30 meal. I messaged them because we have ordered several times before and thought maybe they would try to make it right but they never replied. This was 2 weeks ago. We will never buy food here again! The servings are very small and there are tons of other places to eat or order take out around here if they want to be jerks about it! The food is average really, we order out frequently so as not to have to cook and live in the area. We got about $1 worth of rice and lettuce for a $30 meal plate, what a joke!“

“I love this place. I love many items on their menu. Here are few: Ribeye Tikka is amazing. Their Hummus and Falafel is so good, falafel is crispy. Their shawarma wraps and plates are so satisfying. Their house made chips reminds me of Baghdad Iraq. Fattoush salad is so good. And most importantly great service and people 🫶😊❤️“

“Tried out the Temecula location today and I was amazing. Nice to see an owner owed and occupied business in Old Town. Excellent food and service. Highly recommend!“

Although the restaurant has a simple food-court style atmosphere, many customers enjoy the quick service and quality of the food. Overall, Gyros House is a solid choice for delicious and satisfying Mediterranean cuisine in El Cajon.

“It’s the best and my favorite 🤩“

“I ordered 5 Ground Beef Kabob Skewers , 5 Chicken Tikka Skewers, 1 chicken cream chop, 1 Shawarma Wrap, Rice, Hummus & Salad. Served with Pita Bread, Grilled So when I got home I find out there is only 4 Ground Beef kabob and 4 chicken Tikka And that was so embarrassing for me because I invited 5 people for lunch That was really bad experience“

Every time I visit, I have a great experience. I truly recommend this shop to anyone looking for good service and quality products“

“I ate hear years ago, don't know what took so long to go back but it did not disappoint. Ordered the fried fish and fries and the beef kebab plate. Ordered two in case the fish was not enough. I was pleasantly surprised to have received two massive, healthy pieces of fish cooked to perfection and a mound of great fries. I'll have to eat the kebabs later but I'm sure they'll be equally delicious.“

“Delicious food! Loved it!“

“It’s the best and my favorite 🤩“

“They changed the layout of the location and made it more conducive to serve food while maintaining the sit-down restaurant! Very friendly staff and quality food reasonable priced. My niece and I loaded our Tupperware with a meal to go to make sure we had good food later, Thanks 😊“

“I've been coming here for years, and I always get the same thing-the lentil soup with pita bread. Hands down, it is the best lentil soup I have ever had. I seriously can't get enough of it! You can tell it's made fresh every day, and the flavor is absolutely amazing.
One time, I came in after having a really bad day, and they told me they were out of the soup. I went back to my car and literally cried real tears!
That's how
much I love this soup.
This family-owned restaurant has something truly special.After all these years, I keep coming back, and their lentil soup is still my favorite. If you've never tried it, you're missing out!
And the best part about coming here is they have a bidet in the bathroom so therefore you can have a full belly in a clean booty for when you leave.“

“one of my favorite place. the food is so incredible. it's a must if your in Hillcrest. I've never been disappointed.“

“First time visiting Panini Grill. They have a big menu with a lot of delicious sounding choices. I had a kabob plate and upgraded the salad to the strawberry and date salad. The dressing was light and delicious. The chicken was tender and well seasoned. The portion was huge and easy to share...so I will have it for lunch again tomorrow. They don't have a lot of help, just two servers for all the tables. They were good, but running around like crazy. Definitely will go back and highly recommend. As a bonus there's a parking lot with free parking!“

“Delicious food! Loved it!“

“Just ordered lunch via Door Dash and the beef shawarma plate is excellent.“
