“We enjoyed another fabulous meal and fantastic service at Yanni's Bar and Grill. Omar, thank you for your awesome smile and wine recommendation. If you have never been here you really must go and if you have been, go again soon.“

“First time visiting on a duty weekend. Walked in to a warm welcome from three gentlemen who were having a morning snack and conversing with one another. After chatting it up with the new owner who explained that food was prepared fresh daily and cooked to order, I decided to order the combo that came with chicken, beef, and seasoned ground beef that's formed into a ball and then grilled. The food was 🔥. Everything was well seasoned and the portion sizes were prefect. Combo came with rice, hummus, and s side salad with a vinegar dressing. I didn't plan on eating it all in one sitting but I couldn't stop. The only thing missing was a grilled tomato which I would have accepted over the salad if it was an option. Oh yeah, and the garlic sauce for the meat was prefect. Come pay these guys a visit. The new owner is taking over the family business and is modernizing the place so more food options will be available in the future. Oh, and they offer a military discount! 🫡“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was welcoming, clean, and perfect for a great dining experience.

What really stood out was the outstanding customer service. Dalya, the General Manager, went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. She was professional, attentive, friendly, and genuinely cared about every guest’s experience. Her dedication to customer satisfaction truly made our visit memorable.

It’s rare to find such a combination of excellent food, great ambiance, and exceptional management. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning. Thank you, Dalya and the entire team for such a wonderful experience!“

“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.“

“We had a wonderful dinner at Veranda and thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. The scallops were perfectly prepared, and the pork chop was flavorful, tender, and cooked to perfection. The wine selection was impressive, with plenty of great options to complement the meal.
The live music created a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere that made the evening even more special. A big thank you to Sal, our waiter, who took exceptional care of us throughout the night. His attentive service, recommendations, and friendly personality truly elevated our dining experience.
Great food, excellent wine, outstanding service, and live entertainment—Veranda delivered on all fronts. We look forward to coming back soon!“

“Excellent restaurant, owner is very friendly. He was willing to make a special plate for my kids on what they liked. Location is tucked in a corner of a business center and perfect for families needing a calmer setting. Food is excellent had the pepper chicken not dry at all and lots of flavor. Check this place out.“

“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 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 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.“

“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.“
