“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!“

“This is a fantastic restaurant for breaking the fast during Ramadan. I came here tonight with my family. All the food is halal and delicious. I definitely recommend it. It's a great advantage that San Diego has halal restaurants. Also service personnels are kind. Thank you!“

“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 😋!!!“

“I ordered online and it was a smooth and easy process. Upon completing my payment, I received a message with the time my order would be ready. As I was driving to pick up my order, I received another message that my order was ready. When I entered the establishment, I was greeted immediately. There's a separate line for online pick up orders. I was able to pick up my order with no wait. My wrap was big and tasty and was made with fresh ingredients!“

“Small, quaint place with friendly staff and delicious food. This is probably the juiciest chicken I’ve ever had. The rice was seasoned beautifully and not dry either. I don’t know what the dressing is on the salad but it was fresh, citrusy and left my pallet craving for more. The food came out quickly and the gentleman serving us was attentive. Highly recommend trying this place.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Friendly staff and great value. While the kabob is definitely not bad, it is not as good as some other places that charge more. For the price you are paying, it is good. The dolmeh was actually good. I would recommend this place but if you have had kabob at nicer places just set your expectations.“

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

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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“

“I am a surprised I don't come to the Veranda as often I should. It's only 25 minutes away from where I live. Just a lovely relaxing patio seating overlooking the 18th hole. Great service great food just total chill place. Love this place.“

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

“Food was great. It could be a bit bland for people who is very used to stronger flavor. But to me it was great. Very small area to sit down to eat though. We were a bit surprised that they did not provide water, but George (I think he is the owner of the place) was super nice and offer to just give us a few bottles of water (on the house). He mentioned that they used to just doing catering, so I guess we shouldn't expect a full restaurant experience (water, or heated patio) from them. But in general I enjoyed my food, and nice service so I still give 5 star.“

“Awesome service and delicious food! Excellent catering service !“

“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 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.“

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

“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.“
