“George (the owner) and his staff were incredibly hospitable and source food consciously. The baba ghanoush and falafel were INCREDIBLE, even by comparison to dishes I've had while travelling in the middle east. Highly recommend to anyone visiting San Diego! Well worth the drive from down town (better quality, better price). Bonus for LOTS of vegetarian and vegan options.“
“I am still thinking about my lunch at Luna Grill Poway from weeks ago! It was the most amazing food with even more incredible team members. Marisela and Brian specifically were an absolute pleasure, and they both went above and beyond to make our lunch a positive, memorable experience. Thank you Marisela and Brian!“
“Portuguese inspired coffee shop with a pleasant outdoor space. Their lattes are hit or half-hit, depends on who your barista is. Their tarts are amazing. And their vibe is excellent. The loaves of sourdough they sell are made by a local baker. I wanted to love it, partially bc I love the hype, partially bc it was like $15, but honestly it was just okay. Prager Bros is still light years ahead.... Still, the place is fun, good quality, and adds a lot to the neighborhood.“
“I loved my falafel wrap from here. I have been looking for a falafel with a soft core and a not too oily fried exterior, and this was exactly it. Partner got the lamb shank and I was eating the rice that came with it on its own.Ample parking .“
“Not only does this Luna Grill serve outstanding food, but its service is above and beyond. When a server realized that a small item had been left out of our curbside delivery, she chased us down to be sure we got it. We really appreciated her effort, and we loved the meal of flat grilled chicken, rice, hummus, flatbread, carrots and tzatziki. Just delicious! Thanks, Luna Grill!“
“Great vibe here ! Staff was nice and very helpful. Food was amazing and the manager Christian really made me feel welcomed. He guided me through the menu and suggested his favorites. My kids left a bit of a mess…,as I was cleaning up they came to tell me they’d take care of it!! Really made me feel like a guest. Thank you guys ! Will be coming back soon.“
“I am so happy I found a middle eastern restaurant so close to home! This spot is a hidden gem. They have dishes that are each uniquely seasoned and plated. I’ve been a personal fan of their spicy baba ganoush which they really had a good kick to so it’s actually spicy and it is served with tasty pita, the first batch was bit crispier than I prefer but second round was pillow soft and warm! So far I have tried their betyi which is essentially your choice of meat wrapped in lavash bread and cut into bite sized pieces topped with a delicious tomato sauce and served with yogurt. I got one with lamb one day and the other day sirloin. Both equally delicious! I also have to give them the award for best lentil soup in town! Man that soup is hearty and soooo flavorful! My aunt also gave them the award for best falafels! Typically you get falafel and it’s like a hockey puck! But not here, they’re soft and delish! Also they have one hell of a baklava and serve it sandwiched with ice cream! I failed to snap a pic because that thing lasted 0.3 seconds at our table before it was devoured. Definitely coming here whenever I crave middle eastern food.“
“My friend, who is a native Iraqi, took me to Happy Time and I was blown away by the authenticity and deliciousness of the food. We ordered a sampler of things and the kanaf at the end was simply mouth-watering. Five stars for the food, service and friendliness!“
“This place is excellent. The restaurant is very clean, food is quality with large quantities and very tasty . I had never had such a great Hamburger for a long time. The staff and the owner are very respectful and polite. I want to say thank you for such a great food.“
“Best Gyro's. Stuffed with lots of meat, diced veggies. A little of everything with every bite. Very, very fresh.Always feel welcomed with every visit. If there are any slight issues with anything, they go the extra mile to make it just right. This place is Awesome and of course, so is the food.Also LOVE, LOVE the beet salads!“
“Abbey, our attendant was friendly and greeted is with a smile...good customer service! Brought our food to the table quickly...thank you kitchen staff. Abbey followed up to see if our food was good and if we needed anything. Food is healthy and filling. Yum! Thank you Rancho San Diego staff!“
“As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the friendly staff and seated right away. A great start to an even better meal! My fiancèe and I ordered the Honeymoon latte (vanilla latte sweetened with honey) and a Dirty Chai to start, both were super delicious, beautiful and handcrafted to perfection. For our meals my fiancèe ordered the Beefee Benedict which is served with Kufta (think Mediterranean "meatloaf" with robust herbs and spices) and a house blend cheese on top of English muffins and a made from scratch Hollandaise sauce. And I had ordered the Shakshuka "Special" which is on the regular menu, that's just how they named this dish and that comes with grilled onions and peppers, Kufta, two sunny side eggs in a rich and perfectly acidic tomato puree and houseblend cheese with a house made Bread dome on top of the whole dish. Delicious is an understatement, the food, the drinks the atmosphere, I mean everything fit so prefect. They have a little taste of different cultures and offer healthy alternatives and everything is made in house and I could not say anything bad about this place. 10 out of 10 recommend and we will definitely be coming back to try other amazing dishes.“
“Amazing food and customer service!!! my parents have been coming here for years for all their special occasions, anniversaries, and birthdays. My mom passed away very quickly a few weeks ago and Yanni and his staff were amazing and so helpful with us preparing a special meal for all of our family, to celebrate such an amazing woman! THANK YOU! ❤️“
“The food was absolutely stellar. The flavors were all there and I honestly will be coming back frequently. The service was great. The gentleman working the entire restaurant was super friendly, and him doing so much alone didn't compromise a single thing. I'm telling you, this is the spot for when you're craving some Mediterranean.“
“We come here weekly. The food is really fresh & made to order. It’s also affordable & delicious. The family is super nice & with just a few added words in Arabic; hello & thank you the sweetest smiles are added to my order. Salaam & shukran!Dietary restrictions: Plenty of gluten free, vegetarian, lactose free & even keto options.Parking: I always find free parking out front in the lot or on the street! Easy peasy.“
“Great place for food. So delicious! It was our first time there and we ordered two different dishes that were both so good and the person that works there offered to make us something different if we didn't like it. We definitely thought that was above and “
“I’m obsessed with this place. It’s family owned and they’ve been around for a while. I’ve been coming here since before the pandemic. The food is top notch and they give great portions. I typically get the gyro plate & hummus. The man who takes the orders is always so friendly and sweet. It’s an all around great establishment!“
“Adorable spot tucked into a small part of lot.Owner came out and helped us with the menu; hand delivered folks’ food even with a pick up window; and owner even tossed in a small side of fries for the pup.Hidden walkable gem in north park/city heights cusp. Owner clearly loves what he does and cares for his customers; genuine smile the whole time we were there.Service: efficientFood: outstandingVibe: chillOwner: legendHotel: trivago“

“I have always been satisfied with the food and service at Mal Al Sham. However, I believe they need to improve their seating system. They should either have a designated person to handle seating guests or implement a system that uses names and arrival times. When my family and I arrived, the lady at the entrance informed us that we would be seated next in 5 to 10 minutes when a table became available. Unfortunately, a few minutes later, another family arrived and the person near the door ignored his colleague and seated them before us, even though we had arrived first. This goes against the principle of first come, first served. and in this case, favoring customers over others is how I see it.Apart from this issue, the food is excellent and I consider it to be one of the best Arabic restaurants in San Diego. I always recommend this place to others.Vegetarian options: Falafel is our favorite vegetarian optionParking: Very limited“
“I never write reviews…even when I really really disliked a place…but I’m literally writing this right after I ate here. First of all, I think the lady that helped me order was named Alexandera…well give her a raise…I haven’t had a better customer service experience in such a long time! And that’s on top of how good the food was! I had the Chx Cream Chop Wrap…and wow! So good!!! And when you add that red sauce that it came with…seriously…mind blown! Not only will I come back…I will tell everyone I know about this place!“
“I think I just became a super fan of The Kebab Shop. We ordered door dash delivery for lunch at work today and boy did they blow my mind. The carved beef wrap I had today was outstanding. The ingredients are very fresh and the steak was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend eating here!“
“I came here bc as a child, my somalian neighbors would give me sambusas and wanted my tastebuds to reminisce, and did they. The sambusas were so flavorful & the fufu with beef & spianch soup were exquisite!. i can not wait to go back & get more !l“
“Delicious food (tender lamb, great rice and vegetables all marinated great) ... My kid loved the spaghetti and hummus with ground beef . the chicken salad with light and tasty dressing. Appetizer samosa chicken deal super delicious. Good flavored hot tea and milk. Very gracious service , comfortable family friendly environment“
“A great little spot for good, affordable Greek food for lunch or To Go anytime. Portions are generous. The side salad is simple, but crispy cold 'n fresh with a nice, light creamy dressing. The avgolemono chicken 'n rice soup is comforting and delicious. I also ordered a steak kabob plate and he actually asked me how I like my steak cooked. How great is that?! I took it To Go and found it was perfectly medium rare as I ordered it, (of course). Nice sear on the outside and marinated tender on the inside. Gluten-free options available. Tired of chain fast food? Hungry for something good? Come here. ??Dietary restrictions: Plenty of gluten-free options if you specify "no pita bread please".“
“We have ordered several times for delivery. Everything we have tried has been great. However every time we order the side salad that comes with entrees is never included. It is so frustrating. They always credit us money for the oversight but it doesn’t satisfy the palate when you wants some greens to complement your entree.“
“The gentleman that served my meal was very kind. He even showed care in details that I’m not used to being asked: “1 or 2 cups of ketchup?” “Would you like ice in your drink?” I don’t know of any other place that takes the time to show they care and ask the details. He was very kind and respectful and the food was good!“
“Would leave 6 stars. Robert and Brandon took great care of my fiancé and I. The food was delicious as always, and the service was impeccable.They didn’t have the bistro beef kabob I ordered and they provided a wonderful alternative which was the lemon garlic chicken kabob including an extra side of fries, AND A $30 FOOD COMP FOR OUR NEXT VISIT.The only thing I’d change about this place is the music playlist. Thankfully the food, service, and overall atmosphere greatly compensate for that. Thanks guys!“
