Al-Reef Mediterranean Grill

So happy we stopped by to try the food. Everything we ordered was delicious and there are a lot of options. We will definitely come back.

I walked into this restaurant for the first time and I was quite hungry. BEST DECISION IVE MADE IN A LONG TIME. I met the owner, Selah. I wasn't sure what I wanted but I love Mediterranean food. I decided on the Lamb Shank plate with bulgar tabbouleh. The owner was such a genuinely nice person. He welcomed me to his establishment and was very patient while I finally figured out what I wanted to order. He didn't bite his tongue when he said his food was excellent. I got home and I am writing this review as I am partaking of his delicious food. The lamb is so tender it literally fell off of the bone. 🍖 The rice is so flavorful and fluffy and the Tabbouleh is fantastic. The hummus is so good. I started to order two orders of tabbouleh and I should have. Its so refreshing and I just want more. I will return soon to tell Selah how much I enjoyed my order. He was right. His food is excellent! I am grateful for his kindness. He has a new satisfied customer.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Al-Reef Mediterranean Grill, and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences I've had! I decided to try the chicken kabobs, falafel, and soup, and it was evident that everything was prepared from scratch using high-quality ingredients. The flavors were authentic and vibrant, with each bite bursting with freshness.

The owner himself is the chef, and it was clear that he crafts each dish with care. What truly impressed me was the fantastic value for such delicious, authentic food. I left with a full belly and a happy heart.

If you’re looking for a great meal that delivers on flavor and value, I highly recommend Al-Reef—it's a gem in the heart of Murrieta!

I didn’t even need to get food to give this place a 1 star review, If I could leave negative stars I would. The owner of the restaurant thinks he owns the parking spots in the parking lot. He tried to make my grandma leave from the spot she was already parked at and started honking at her, even though she was there first and is disabled. Horrible ownership and reputation. I will never support this business! You will never be as good as destination smokehouse

Delicious and authentic! The shawarma and gryo were both fantastic. We also got some appetizers, which were all great. The baklava was very sweet, oozing honey and the philo dough was crunchy. The owner is a really nice gentleman who talked to us for a few minutes. Very affordable too. With two meal plates, 3 appetizers and desserts it was less than $40. It's definitely one of our new favorite spots, far better than chain Mediterranean restaurants like Luna Grill.

I wish I had the forethought to take a photo but it smelled so good I just had to dig in immediately! I got the lamb shank at the recommendation of the gentleman who took our order and my husband got the mixed kabobs. I love Mediterranean food and have been to many Mediterranean restaurants but this is definitely the #1 for me. The lamb shank was so tender it just fell off the bone and everything is made fresh and you can taste it. Everything we ate was high quality and the customer service was great too. Highly highly recommend- we will be back for sure 😁

Food is great. Found this place recently and I keep coming back. Definitely would recommend if you’re looking for tasty Mediterranean food. My favorite is the chicken shawarma, garlic sauce, hummus and both kinds of their pita bread.

Amazing service and delicious food

I got the beef kabob and chicken shawarma, both were excellent. I have tried three or four other places in the area and this is my new go to for Mediterranean.
