“The food is INCREDIBLE. I had the chicken and kofta and can honestly say that was the best Kofta ive had at a restaurant. The sauces were wonderful and I tried a watermelon drink that was delicious and refreshing. Its a very small location with not much seating but the food and the staff are amazing.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

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

“Great place! Great food! Ordered ahead and order was waiting for me when I got there. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The esquire is my go to. Halloumi is amazing with the fig jam. You can’t go wrong with any of the items. Highly recommend!!!“

“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.“

“Super yummy, fresh food! 😋“

“Great food. I got the beef wrap and it was made with love. Come support this spot. It’s real Persian food. I didn’t expect to come into this spot but I’m so happy I did. Great service I taken care of the owners who was very kind. Come support them it’s hard owning a small business. Go here instead of kebab shop“

“We were guests at the Rancho Bernardo Inn- as my mom surprised me for my 35th birthday! We spent the most magical day at the spa, and when it came time for dinner, we knew where we wanted to go! Unfortunately my mom did not set a reservation for outside, as when she was booking, she was told it wasn’t necessary (however, book a reservation!)- it was popular that evening, with live music on the patio (beautiful!). We went to the hostess stand, pretty confident there would not be anyway to be seated, my mom mentioned that it was my birthday- and Evan, who was at the front, made magic happen! He was able to find us a cushion seating area by the fire, and recommended drinks, the best apps and food. The entire dinner he continued to check on us making sure we were OK and truly gave us the best recommendations! \n\nThe whole meal from start to finish was delicious and ended perfectly with a beautiful surprise dessert. Evan, it was the perfect ending to the perfect day. Thank you so much for your warmth, care, and ability to make us have such a joyful birthday! We will absolutely be back.“

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

“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.“

“Tried this spot for the first time and the gyro was amazing. I grew up in Greek Town in Toronto, so I know good Greek food when I taste it - this was authentic and delicious. Even though I live ~30 minutes away, I’ll definitely be coming back. 100% worth the drive!“

“GREAT FOOD!!! So nice to finally have a Greek restaurant in that mall. Just opened about a month ago. LOVE the fresh pita bread, proteins and produce used. Oh the Tzatziki sauce is amazing. We definitely will be going more often and using their catering services with our meetings.“

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

“I stop in every time I am in San Diego. Everything there is absolutely fantastic...especially the Spanish Cheesecake. It's a hidden gem well worth a visit.“

“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.“

“I don’t normally eat Mediterranean food but my Syrian friend recommended the food so we chose to try Aladdin. The food presentation and flavors were impeccable! I have a gluten allergy and was able to eat everything but the pita. So fun and service was on point. Ahmet was very nice and very interested in our satisfaction while we were dining by checking back on us and offering us refills and menu items. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!“

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

“If you’re craving fast, flavorful Mediterranean food in Las Vegas, Greek Chicken Café should be on your radar. You can grab it as a plate, a pita, or piled into a rice bowl—with sides like golden roasted potatoes, fluffy rice, and cool, creamy tzatziki that’ll have you licking the fork. Everything’s made fresh, and most meals won’t break the $15 mark. The star of the menu? Rotisserie chicken that’s marinated in lemon, garlic, and herbs, then slow-roasted until it practically falls apart. And if you’re short on time, their takeout game is strong. Cravings satisfied!“

“These guys definitely know what they're doing with their combinations here! About the beef and chicken bowl and it was a really lovely combination! The rice and hummus and tabouli and made really go well together! Every item on its own is quite decent, but when you mix it all up and have it in one bite it's just beautiful!
Didn't even need the garlic sauce!

Also got the chicken egg roll on the side. It was nice and crunchy and the filling on the inside was flavorful. They cut it into two so you can see what's on the inside as well. So that's kind of cute. I were surprised how it didn't taste as greasy and oily even though it was fried. Definitely recommended.“

“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.“
