“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!“

“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 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 😋!!!“

“Great healthy Mediterranean-style eatery with excellent service and delicious meal. Fun music inside, outdoor patio with umbrellas. I build my own bowl, and I enjoy every bite! Highly recommend! Excellent location central to Carmel Mountain shopping and right off the freeway.“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“one of my favorite place. the food is so incredible. it's a must if your in Hillcrest. I've never been disappointed.“

“Super yummy, fresh food! 😋“

“Got a rice bowl with steak and added feta cheese. 😋 They were very generous with the portions of both those things which is good since they cost extra. Also tried their Soda and that was good. Did a pick up order and ate there. Pick up was on time even tho it was busy. Sat down and an employee or the owner came by and asked if everything was tasting good which it was. Restaurant was clean despite lunch rush.“

“Food was excellent. I got the chicken kebob plate and the chicken was so moist and flavorful. It came with grilled onion, bell pepper and tomato, grilled well and tasty. The salad was fresh and toppings were delicious. Although I didn’t eat it, the plate came with a good amount of rice. I was able to take a box with the rice and half the chicken home for my son. My husband and friend got the pesto panini and parm panini and both said they were both wonderful. Our other fiend had the pesto pasta with chicken and she loved her dish as well. We got the falafel, hummus and tzatziki appetizer with pita and all commented on how flavorful the hummus and tzatziki were. The falafel were very small, but tasty and fried well with a nice crunch on the outside and moist inside. The pita was warm and grilled and a great texture. The service was great. Food came out fast and she was attentive to refills on drinks and if we needed anything. We are looking forward to going back.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food is delicious, healthy and super affordable. Staff was super nice. I wanted a Mediterranean bowl and then a side of pita but I ordered late. The guy working there was kind enough to go back and add it to the order as a side so I wouldn't get charged as much. 10 out of 10 would recommend“

“Awesome service and delicious food! Excellent catering 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.“

“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.“

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

“scammer Scammer scammer Scammer 👿🤢🤢👿🤢👿👿🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢 scammer 🤬🤬🤬 scammer“

“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!“

“Ya’ll, tell me why I haven’t gone to this place sooner. I’m so impressed it’s not even funny. I got the wagyu bowl with french fries and it’s hit all the spots, especially since it included TABOULI!!!! I am a tabouli lover. Yum yum, will come back!“

“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.“
