“My company catered Pita's for a staff meeting and everyone loved how delicious and fresh everything was!! Tonight I had to go back to introduce my husband and best friend, we were not disappointed! The lamb sandwich was delicious and filling, falafel was soft and flavorful inside, perfectly crunchy on the outside, hummus is super creamy and wonderful and the salads were crisp and tasty!!

I have to say the Outstanding Service from Ethan at Luna Grill was awesome!! I definitely have to take a moment to recognize Ethan at Luna Grill for his exceptional service and professionalism. From the moment I walked in, he made me feel welcome with his warm and friendly demeanor. Ethan is not only incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, but he also goes above and beyond to ensure that every customer has a fantastic dining experience.

His attention to detail, quick thinking, and ability to anticipate customers' needs truly set him apart.
It's clear that he takes great pride in his work, and it shows in the way he interacts with both guests and his colleagues. Whether it's offering great recommendations or ensuring that everything is perfect, Ethan delivers top-notch service with a smile. Luna Grill is lucky to have such a dedicated and talented employee. If you're dining here, I highly recommend asking for Ethan-he will make sure you have an amazing experience. Five stars all the way!“

“Shaks came recommended to us by our wedding photographer. Upon finding out they were Armenian Lebanese (same as my family!), we knew we would book with them. As we lived out of the country, our parents went to the menu tasting and had the time of their lives. They came back raving about the place and said we have to book. Totally didn't understand the assignment of narrowing down the menu items we should have on the big day, lol. but that's a testament to how good the food is (especially the fresh falafel). Andrew was so helpful on calls, as he is very busy and emails weren't the best method of communication, and answered all of our questions, worked within our parameters and with a ton of integrity. The team was a delight on the day of and worked their tails off in the kitchen with a smile and in front of the guests. The food was a hit with the guest and I am still thinking about the garlic that I'm sure I smelled like on the wedding night because I just couldn't get enough, lol. The leftovers were awesome to have and to share with guests, too. We will be visiting Shak's when we're in the area as a nostalgia trip!!“

“This place has excellent food and wine. Super cool staff. I’ve been before and we’ll be back again. Killer outdoor spot to eat also. I highly recommend it.“

“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!“

“Excellent offer of Mediterranean food. Abundant quantities for the price.

Kid-friendliness: The food court has several small tables with chairs for children. But if you have small children I suggest you go and eat in the family lounge“

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

“I was there for an event the other night. I let the staff at the front know that I was vegan in case I should have to order something different from the set menu. But they were so kind and accommodating, they made me my very own veggie platter. Everything was so delicious too! I will definitely be back for dinner. Restaurants that go above and beyond like this definitely leave an impression on me. Thank you for they delicious veggie platter and kind service.

Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options are clearly marked on the menu. The Hummus is a must! Very creamy and delicious.“

“Thank you for the exceptional service to the great gentleman who seemed like he is the owner or managers. He had gone above and beyond by popping to give my party a delicious rice cake. We were all captivated by the charm, service, and healthy tasty culture retreat.“

“excellent service by David, great food and relaxed ambiance“

“Meat is good. Wrap is good. The sandwich needs to be served on a real, in-store baked pita bread. And they need to give away their t-shirt if you spend over $20. ;-)“
