“i absolutely love this place. the owners/workers were so kind and helpful. the food was amazing. we ordered a chicken Koobideh plate, a Koobideh Beef Plate, hummus and pita bread, and an order of falafels. probably the best hummus i've had . the restaurant itself is pretty small hole in the wall mom and pop shop feel that i absolutely love. will definitely be back! i highly recommend giving this place a try.“
“For years been taking my wife to pacific pita and me personally I wasn't interested on eating there I'd always used to go across the way while my wife enjoyed her Mediterranean food, this last time I took her again and I'd tried it, and I will be going back really liked it.“
“The staff was super friendly and personable. I highly recommend trying the baklava it was so sweet and was the perfect way to end the lunch. Parking was easy to find which is an additional plus. If you have the time to wait for a freshly cooked meal, Al-Reef is the place to go!!“
“I am Greek and know good Greek food and this place is it!! The only place where they have meat in the dolmade's instead of rice as a filler. That is the Greek way. The flavor was fantastic, and the portions are perfect. Hats off to Ladera for finally giving us some decent Greek cuisine.“
“I recently indulged in the chicken shawarma wrap at this establishment, and it was an experience worth raving about. From the moment I stepped in, the aroma of spices tantalized my senses, setting the stage for a culinary journey. The wrap itself was a masterpiece of flavors and textures. The succulent chicken, marinated to perfection, was tender and juicy, with just the right amount of char from the grill. It was nestled within a warm, soft pita bread, providing a comforting embrace to the ensemble of ingredients. What truly elevated this dish was the medley of toppings and sauces. Crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and tangy pickles added freshness and crunch, while the creamy tahini sauce imparted a luscious richness that tied everything together harmoniously. Each bite was a symphony of tastes, leaving me craving for more. Moreover, the portion size was generous, making it a satisfying meal on its own. The friendly staff and prompt service further enhanced the dining experience, ensuring that I left with a smile on my face. In conclusion, if you're on the hunt for a mouthwatering chicken shawarma wrap that hits all the right notes, look no further. This establishment delivers excellence in every bite, making it a must-visit for shawarma enthusiasts and food lovers alike.“
“Great food, yesterday I went with my family and everything was delicious, I love the garlic lemon chicken that’s my favorite plate great service, vang and Denise make everything amazing customer service always great make me feel welcome all the time“
“What a special gem in Temecula! The best we have had in the area. Everything is homemade and made with love. It feels like home! Family owned business- support local you won’t regret it! This is what a restaurant is supposed to be. We absolutely adore this place!“
“This is a local gem! Every time all the other tourist traps are packed in Temecula our family loves coming here! The food is fresh and tastes great! The ambiance is nice, the drinks (including wine and beer) are great and the prices are right. Highly recommended if you are looking for a local place with everything to offer, but without the crowds!“
“Great spot, quality shawarma.Unfortunately there was exposed welding done at the end of the exit hall, which is both a fume and UV exposure hazard. As well as horrendous power tool noise immediately after the welding, although someone from the desk got them to stop eventually.I don't care, the food was worth it.“
“The food here is absolutely delicious! It has lots of great options as well. I just wouldn’t order through 3rd party apps because they seem to forget some of the items you order like consistently /: other than that this place is really nice!“
“Came back here after few years, I am watching my diet and Mediterranean is well-known to be healthy for that guilt-free meal. This place has cute indoor seating but it became very smoky as they grilling up stuff in the kitchen, will sit outdoor next time. Food is really delicious, my husband got the Gyro plate while I had the Wild Salmon. Our waiter forgot our flat bread, but another guy with apron on who brought out our orders finally gave it. Overall, I will come back to try the other dishes.“
“Go to is Santorini bowl, changing protein choice on multiple visits. Always fresh, the folks behind the counter great ?Greek food is hard to find. It's a 14 hr plane ride, go to Luna and your up big time on travel cost. I wish they had Raki!Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“It was our first time trying the food. We are middle eastern and pastry chefs and I must admit the food was decent even at our standards(and thats saying something coming from Ventura county). The place is clean and John is friendly and helpful.You can sense the local vibe and warmth coming here. I doubt you'd find anything better in the 20 mile radius except steak. We tried the chicken shawerma and it was tasty(not too dry and enough flavor). Would definitely come back and try. Thank you John and great meeting you!“
“**April 2024: Sunday Evening Visit** My friend and I were in the area and I was famished after a long photoshoot. I had this spot bookmarked for quite some time and thought that it was the perfect opportunity to check it out. It's super dark inside, I suppose to give it that romantic ambiance, but it made it hard to take photos lol. Nevertheless, I was eager to try their offerings. After looking through the menu my friend and I decided on the following Appetizer: Baba Ghanoush ($9): This came with a basket of warm pita and I'm not sure if it's because I was starving, but my friend and I basically ate all of it and they gave a pretty hefty portion. Entree: Kleftiko Lamb Shank ($22): It was super tender, not gamy at all and just essentially fell off the bone. I really enjoyed it and the portion is good for two meals. Honestly, my friend and I probably could have shared and he even he said that on our return visit he'd order my Lamb Shank. I can't remember what he ordered, but my dish was definitely the star! Overall, I think this is a fantastic mediterranean restaurant in the Murrieta area with fair prices and explosive flavors. Two thumbs up!“
