39 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Poway

“10/10 food is tasty and service is friendly“

“During lunch break, stopped at Harbor Freights. After finishing my business I was hungry for some chow. Looked around, and although plenty eats here, I decided on Baba Kabob shop. Small shop, great for food to go, or you must dine outside. No indoor dining. I also notice that this is a catering business. I decided on the Baba Kabob special..chicken, Kabob meat, French fries and the vegetable fixins...tomatoes, lettuce, and onions. Had I known the French fries were inside, I would have asked for them on the side, or none at all. Do not like soggy fries...
The portion was huge, although it seemed light on the meat, in my opinion. Still good, and too much food for one person..at less than half, and gave rest to a coworker.
I would pick up food again..I ordered a diet coke bottle, but they forgot to give to me, and when I remembered, I was back at work..bummer city.“

“They have the best pita gyro I have had. They make their own marinade for their chicken and salad dressing which are both so good. Hope they will open in Temecula!“

“the restaurant serves up yummy Persian food at a good value 😋 the photo is just half of the Greek salad (with chicken kebab). excuse my addition of their yogurt sauce!“

“Hey I just want to say the Luna grill down in Carmel valley was amazing and I want to give a special thank you to Athena for helping me out with my order she was polite and made sure i got everything I needed I recommend anyone that loves Mediterranean food check out this location 2 thumbs up will be back“

“Consistently great, fresh food, generous portions, and very healthy; friendly service; good rewards program which pays off more often than most. It’s my favorite local restaurant!“

“I recommend you bring back lamb on the menu.“

“Believe them when they say they offer large portions! Every salad option and specialty plate is easily shareable and very fresh and delicious. We dined in and took home considerably more than ate during our visit. Looking forward to trying other menu items and having leftovers for days!“

“Fabulous! The food is fresh, healthy, and delicious. Very ample portions! The very best pita , hummus, and tahini! We also love the mango sauce…very tasty, not too spicy. We ordered Kabob Pita, Falafel Pita, Lamb with Hummus, and Hummus with Fries. Everything was very delicious!! Totally recommended. 👍👍 5/5 stars. Many thanks!“

“Delicious and can have healthy and/or indulgent selections“

“It was very delicious very tasty & big portions! The service was alright it seemed like I was inconveniencing the young man at the counter by ordering lol *everyone has their days)😅 However it wasn't rude & it wasn't great either. However, the highlight of my trip was the food! It's very fresh & very tasty! The portions were very generous I was satisfied and had more left over! They are generous with their sauce station! And they all add great flavor! The restaurant was spotless & very chill to hang out in while I ate and took my time! I'll be back“

“One of our very FAVORITE spots to drop in on our own, to bring by guests we want to take care of, or to have large gatherings - family and business. We have been coming here for many years, from just 2 of us to the largest being 45 of us for a business function with excellent catering and service. The food is always spot on, and they have one of the best stocked bars in the city - items you rarely find elsewhere. The staff is highly skilled and they flow very well as a team, you always feel taken care of here. Highly recommend Yanni's!“

“Most authentic Mediterranean food I’ve had in all San Diego! Will be back again soon!! I used to go to kebab shop franchise but this mom and pop store is much more authentic and even better price for the homemade quality! Thank you Hanna Garden !“

“The best chicken shawarma I have tried in San Diego 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 very friendly staff in person and over the phone 📱 the rice is really good too and the sandwiches 😋!!!“

“They have the best pita gyro I have had. They make their own marinade for their chicken and salad dressing which are both so good. Hope they will open in Temecula!“

“Because of COVID, there's only takeout but we loved our dinner! I'm so glad they opened in RB!“

“I bought 1 gyro, $7.99, a combination plate, $14.99, which comes packed with rice, salad, gyro meat and a kabob, and 1 pita bread, $.99. The price was more than fair for the amount of food we got. The food tasted fantastic, besides the fact that it fed my wife, and four daughters. They all raved about it. If you appreciate Mediterranean food, this place is great!“

“Thank so much to the owner of Marketplace Grille for buying me a wonderful dinner tonight at the Carmel location. Showed appreciation for sure towards someone who’s still apart of the essential workforce. Best Gyros outside of New Jersey you will ever find.“

“Food was good. However, the cashiers were busy cleaning up for the night vs taking care of customers. It wasn’t late, either. It was around 7:30 or 7:45 on a Sunday. The cleaners they use are very strong. Very pinesol or something like that. Glad I got food to go because I wouldn’t want to have smelled the cleaners during dinner. Dining room had zero vibe.“

“Thank you for the exceptional service to the great gentleman who seemed like he is the owner or managers. He had gone above and beyond by popping to give my party a delicious rice cake. We were all captivated by the charm, service, and healthy tasty culture retreat.“

“The food was great! The restaurant seems to always get packed during the lunch rush and I can see why! Healthy options for everyone! Alex was super helpful in explaining all the items so as to help me create my bowl. THANK YOU GUYS FOR THE GREAT FOOD AND SERVICE!“

“4 stars because parking is chaos. They need to use toast pos and turn on curb side pick up and create a spot . Also have a 2 min parking spot for grab and go online orders food is always amazing

Parking: It’s busy so be aggressive“

“It took 35 minutes for a server to show up at our table. We had to go inside and get our own cocktails. We eat here at least twice a month. The service is usually slow, but this about had us walking out the door. Once approached by the manager, then the server, all was good.“

“Great traditional Greek food. Loved the Gyros and homemade Tzatziki Sauce. Friendly staff. I would definitely recommend this new Greek restaurant.“

“I went there for lunch. There were only me and another couple the whole time. The waiter spent most of his time in the kitchen, not in the front. When I finished my food, I waited for a while but he did not come out so I went to the restroom. While I'm in the restroom, the waiter came knocked loudly on the door and asked loudly several times if I was in there. I found this very rude and told him that. He then said sorry and said it would not happen again if I come back. I don't think so.“

“Very delicious authentic Persian food. From there fesenjoon to the lamb soltani. Very delicious and tastes like homemade.
Mr Mansour the owner, is a great man, very welcoming, and comes and check on tables himself and great them.
The servers are very pleasant too.
On top of that they serve hookah too. Couldn’t get any better. It’s definitely my spot now.“

“great food, great flavor, great (and I mean GREAT) portions, with great price. This is a can't miss Mediterranean Food spot that should soon become a hot food spot.“

“Happy Chef/ Greek Palace did an AMAZING job catering for our family event (post-funeral reception). They had absolutely delicious food. The chicken was so good [a lot of it was naturally gluten-free, too!], a nice patio setup with a gentle breeze going, and excellent, friendly customer service. We would definitely come back if in town again. THANK YOU !“

“really great food.super tasty chix,very large portions, love the side that come with plates. there are a few other places but they all dont compare to GCC“

“I schedule Bosnian food truck for the high rise community in Downtown where I work at. Ismet has very good customer service and his food is so delicious, the residents are always waiting in line, and they always share with me how much they love this food truck. This is the reason why I keep scheduling this food truck, and for their quality food.“

“There are good restaurants, but there are great restaurants we want to come back as soon as we finished eating. this is one of those“

“I would recommend this establishment they have great food great customer service“

“I enjoyed the santorini sampler platter. One word. "Delicious"“

“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.“

“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.“

“Can't comment on atmosphere because the restaurant was closed for renovations. The food was delicious and the portions are very generous. Online ordering was easy and just picked up the order from the drive thru. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for something quick and delicious and filling.“
