40 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near San Juan Capistrano

1 Kebab Craft

4.8 Superb 99 Reviews

31856 Paseo Adelanto #107, San Juan Capistrano

“We used Kebab Craft to cater my wife’s surprise birthday party and couldn’t have been happier with the food. We had 50 guests and did the 3 the protein option with the chicken, gyro, and grilled veggies. Everything arrived fresh and tasted amazing. The amount of food was more than ample and nobody left hungry. I was repeatedly asked where the food came from because people were so impressed with how good everything was. I’ve never been to the actual restaurant, so I can’t speak to that, but I can’t imagine anything but high marks there too. I certainly wouldn’t hesitate using them for your Mediterranean catering needs.”

“I walked into PITA craving something light, crisp, fresh, and flavorful with a little protein, and it completely hit the spot. The Mediterranean flavors are so good! fresh herbs, crunchy vegetables, warm pita, savory protein, creamy sauces, and just the right amount of spice. There’s a really nice balance of bright, fresh flavors and more savory, comforting ones, so the food feels satisfying without being heavy. It’s also such a great option in the Miramar food court when you want something a little fresher and more flavorful than the typical food-court choices. Everything was excellent, and I’ll definitely be back!”

A special thank you to Audrey, who was especially helpful, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Her positive attitude helped make our experience even better.

“When we had to change my brother-in-laws rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks because of the wildfires this past weekend, Ilya stepped up and was so accommodating to our group. The service was exceptional and no one ever had to wait longer than a couple minutes for a drink and we had close to 60 people. Christian, in particular, was amazing and went above and beyond for our party! The food was delicious, full of flavor, and had a great variety for all the different allergies our large group had. What could’ve been a really disappointing situation turned into one of the highlights of the weekend and we are so thankful for the way Ilya treated our family!”

Descriptions and pictures do not do it justice - the views and the sunset were out of this world. Paired with the finest service and sublime food and wine (we had the salt-crusted branzino and the most perfect raw oysters), dinner at Studio is sure to be a new core memory.”

“I had an outstanding experience at DonerG, where they beautifully blend the authentic flavors of Turkish cuisine with vibrant Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences. I opted for the Original Fladenbrot sandwich with beef, and added chicken as well. Both meats were incredibly well-seasoned, tender, and bursting with flavor. You can truly appreciate the freshness and quality of the ingredients in every bite. The ambiance of the restaurant was welcoming and warm, making it an ideal spot whether you're grabbing a quick bite or enjoying a meal with a larger group. Special mention to Eduardo and Saadi, who were attentive and provided excellent service, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be returning for another delicious meal!”

“This food truck is tucked in the same lot as George’s Episcopal Church. Pro tip: map the church so you don’t get lost. There are several eateries in that lot, but don’t get distracted just look for the green food truck and you’ll know you’ve found the right spot! I came here right after my workout and ordered food to go. OMG, I had no idea the tacos were humongous! They are literally the size of my palm spread out! Jeeesuz! I ordered three tacos: Gobernador: I didn’t get to it until the next day, but the shrimp were so big and juicy, and that Chipotle aioli? Pure genius. I could put that on everything! Octopus: The only one I ate fresh that day and oh my goodness, flavor explosion! The melted cheese, the seasoning, the texture… everything about it is 10/10! Spicy Shrimp: I accidentally doubled up on shrimp tacos so I saved this one for the next day too, still delicious, still worth it. Service can take a little while since there’s only one person taking orders and they’re cooking everything fresh in the truck, but trust me , it’s absolutely worth the wait! Who would’ve thought a little food truck could make such a big impact? Don’t sleep on this hidden gem please come and taste the goodness for yourself!”

“Rarely do I find a restaurant where I want to try everything on the menu!! My friends and I had lunch here a few weeks ago; a few had been there before and they loved it. I was excited to try it. I ordered the Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpeas Bowl with added protein of grilled shrimp. It was absolutely delicious and so fresh…the shrimp was done perfectly. We also shared the cauliflower and dates appetizer. I was a little skeptical at first about the interesting combination, but they were fantastic…and addicting! I liked the overall atmosphere of the restaurant and the service was excellent too. My husband and I will be dining there tonight, and he is excited because there are several GF items he can try. I highly recommend this restaurant for their fresh and delicious foods!”
